1708 The Berlin Conspiracy 1

"No matter what the result is, an invisible war broke out in the German Empire. However, what makes me feel uneasy is that I can't even tell who is our friend and who is our enemy. The original allies were pushed to the enemy's position, and what would happen to the previous enemy, whether they were new friends or still enemies? I don't know. However, the emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed, and he ignited the fuse that detonated everything with his own hands." In Prime Minister Holvig's diary, he wrote in such a worry. He suggested that the German Emperor consider it carefully, and the German Emperor seemed to have listened to his opinions and decided to proceed slowly, but God knows whether everything will go as he thought!

However, at this time, in the villa of the right-wing leader of the Social Democratic Party, a group of people were celebrating their victory, and if Prime Minister Holvig was present, he would find that the main members of the right-wing and centrists of the Social Democratic Party in East Prussia were here!

In the middle of the venue was a long table, and in the middle of the main seat was naturally Albert, the right-wing leader of the Social Democratic Party. On the left was Wells, the head of the Berlin region of the Social Democratic Party. On the right was another big shot of the Social Democratic Party, Landsberg, who is now very close to people from the industry and finance. The second person on the left was a person who is not familiar with everyone, but looking at Albert's attitude towards him as respectful to him, although the others present had opinions, they did not show it.

This person is Mr. Bühler, Albert's "action adviser". He has been involved in various fronts in Germany and has rich combat experience. He can be said to be a combination of theory and practice, which makes up for the social democratic party. He has a lot of whims, but he can fight an embarrassing situation without any!

The second on the right is Nosk, the head of the right wing of the Social Democratic Party in the Kiel Harbor area. He mainly does naval work. The German high seas fleet is an important force that can influence the country. They have an independent military system, and the members are mainly civilians. A considerable number of fleet commanders, including Scher and Hippel, are non-noble. Therefore, in the view of the Social Democratic Party, this is the object that can be won.

Shedermann would have been there, but unfortunately, the first person to beg for trouble is now in a prison in the Berlin prison. Albert asked for parole many times, but failed, so he had to give up.

"Just this morning, our insider provided information that the German Emperor had agreed to the plan proposed by the Independent Social Democratic Party, and a new kingdom was about to arise. The conflict between the two kingdoms will be ignited. The German Emperor would forever lose support from Bavaria, and Bavaria would also lose the ability to influence the central government! This is a great victory and lays a solid foundation for the success of our cause!" Albert's opening bar was full of passion and joy!

After a lot of applause, Wells, the head of the right-wing Social Democratic Party in Berlin, also began to introduce the situation here: "Although we cannot guarantee that all the newly-organized troops left behind in Berlin will obey our orders, at least 40% of the officers and personnel are willing to stand on our side, and the remaining 30% of the people will remain neutral. Therefore, we have an absolute advantage in this German political center!"

"But those senior officers are Junker nobles, and they are not so easy to convince." Operations consultant Mr. Bühler said somewhat surprised.

"Haha, Junker nobles? Even among the top German nobles, the Black Hawk Knights, we still have supporters. After all, people like Moltke who are loyal to the corrupt monarchy are a minority. The thought of giving to some people has been integrated with us, they may still have some nostalgia for the monarchy, but at least they will not raise a butcher knife to us. And it has to be said that a great benefit to the tragic war brings us is that those noble officers have suffered heavy casualties. Their control over the army has greatly decreased, and many people cooperate with us with the idea of ​​getting to power. In addition, we have enough money to buy some people." Landsberg said with a smile, and at the same time showed a scrutiny expression to the "action consultant" sitting opposite.

"How to use the Navy situation? Wells, this is our top priority." Albert said to Wells instead of paying attention to the people below.

"The situation is not very good. I have been in contact with Scher and Admiral Hippel. They are very satisfied with the current situation. The middle and lower-level naval officers and soldiers also hold this idea. They seem to be preparing for something. All the real power factions in the fleet are very busy. They are very indifferent to politics, but they are more sensitive to the relationship between Prussia and Bavaria." Wells said.

"Mr. Buller, the Navy's attitude is the same as you expected, so let me tell you what you think." Albert said with a frown after hearing this.

"Unexpected, reasonable." Bühler smiled and said, "Maybe, everyone here feels that the navy is mainly from the civilian class, so they should agree with the theory and practices of the Social Democratic Party. I do not deny this, but what I want to say is that as a soldier, there are two most important points: the first is faith and victory, and the second is the vital interests of officers and soldiers."

"For the first point, I can understand that even if I only read the newspaper, that is, since the war started, the navy has rarely suffered setbacks. They are now thinking about how to kill the Royal Navy on the opposite side. How could they mix these things? Even if the class attributes of the middle and lower classes are close to your side, a general who can win a battle and can satisfy the interests of his subordinates does not have to worry about betrayal!"

"As for the second point, it is easier to understand. The treatment of naval officers and soldiers is higher than that of the army, and they can also get additional rations from the Bavarian Games. In addition, the war in Shanghai is not fierce, so they are not afraid of war, but are a little yearning for. As for the upward channels you give? The upward channels within the navy are relatively fair, and the relationship between officers and soldiers is relatively stable, so the stability of the navy is far greater than that of the army." Bühler talked happily.

In history, it was the sailors of Kiel Port that ignited the German revolution, but it was the gentlest on this plane. After all, no one asked the High Seas Fleet to launch an offensive that could be described as a death sentence in this plane, nor did they endure the pain caused by the shortage of supplies. If we only talk about dietary standards and wages, the current treatment level of the German navy is much higher than before the war. Therefore, they naturally would not have rebelled.
