"The operation has begun. The personnel of Denzer and Konisburg have moved to the Berlin area, and the entire plan has entered an irreversible state, so this is the final plan!" Albert said with the final say.
"Well, since you have no objections, this is the overall plan of our operation, including the dispatch of personnel, materials and weapons, and organization. Let's take a look. If you have any opinions, you can raise them now. Once we walk out of this gate, everything will not change. We are fighting a war, and capriciousness and change of orders are the most undesirable!" Buller said while sending another stack of documents to everyone sitting.
Then, after about 5 hours of discussion, the Social Democratic centrists and right wing finally finalized all the details. A storm that swept nearly half of Germany had completed its final brewing. This political struggle to challenge the German imperial power by later generations was gradually beginning. It is precisely because of this storm that not only opened a new page in the history of the German Empire, but also caused far-reaching changes in the situation in the entire Europe!
However, just as the Social Democratic centrists and right wing led by Albert were preparing in full swing, on the other side of Berlin, in the official residence of German Prime Minister Holvig, the German Emperor was also actively responding. Just last night, at the German Army's Western Front Base Camp in Brussels, the German Emperor personally removed the position of Chief of Staff of Hindenburg and served as Chief of Staff of the German Army. This morning, the German Emperor sent a secret telegram to Prime Minister Holvig, asking him to immediately launch an arrest of some members of the German Social Democratic Party!
"Are you really going to do this? There is no room for relief?" Prime Minister Holwig said, picking up the phone in his hand. He needed to confirm the order for the last time.
"Your Majesty, do you know what your order means?" Holvig said on the phone. "This means that you will ignite the first fire of unrest within the empire! I don't think those who are ill-intentioned should be sympathized with, but we are really not prepared. The Bavarian Kingdom's attitude towards the problems within Prussia is vague, and our main force is still on the Western Front against the attack of the British and French coalition forces. In the country, I really don't know how many people in the left-behind forces, the police and the military police are loyal to us. I even suspect that after my order is issued, someone will inform our enemies in a few minutes."
"I know, I know everything you said. The country is full of crises and the rebel party is ready to go. Britain and France are fighting to the death. And because of my mistakes, my friendly countries have become strangers. Even those who have promoted me and have high expectations have betrayed me." William II's hoarse voice came across the microphone. He was not as arrogant and domineering as before. At this time, William II was like an old man. But the firmness in his words made people realize that his decision was unshakable!
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Prime Minister Holvig was a little shocked. At this time, he found that he really didn't know the Emperor. How long has it been since he contacted him last time? It's only two weeks. Why is the German Emperor's mental state like this? What happened?
"A lot, very many, but they have been handled. Do as I ask. In addition, I will immediately send a special working group to help you stabilize the domestic situation. Just like that, don't ask why, if you are still loyal to me, then execute my order!" The German Emperor seemed very reluctant to recall what happened in recent times.
"Yes, your majesty, I will do what you said." Holvig said after a moment of silence.
At this time, in the German base camp on the Western Front in Brussels, Belgium, William II put down the phone and sat in a chair with a little bit of a silence. What happened in recent days has come to his mind again. Although he has vowed not to think about those things again, these things are still like ghosts because they linger in the heart of the German Emperor.
This happened a week ago. There was an old saying in Europe that the king always had the most secrets. This is really true. As a king, he was destined to be lonely and had limited new jobs for everyone. Therefore, it was impossible for William II, who was also the king, to say that there was no special channel to get news! Just a week ago, the German Emperor got the exact news through his own channels. The new Chief of Staff had some too "close" exchanges with the Social Democratic Party! In the following two days, as more and more information was sent, the German Emperor and his "small group" finally confirmed the "traitor group" of the army headed by Hindenburg.
Faced with such a crisis, the German Emperor was rare decisive this time and began to immediately order the internal security departments to take action. Perhaps it was because of a hint of luck, or perhaps it was because he wanted to understand that after arresting Hindenburg, the German Emperor himself interrogated the newly promoted chief of staff of the German Army!
"Why do you betray me? As a civilian, you can reach your current position and become the chief of staff of the German Army. As the highest-ranking existence of the German military, your personal goals have been achieved. Can they give you more?" William II asked when Hindenburg was escorted to the German Emperor.
"But all this is just given to me. If you can give it to me today, you can easily take it back tomorrow, just like when you deposed the little Moltke. Your Majesty, as an emperor, you can decide the fate of a person, an army, or even a country according to your likes and dislikes. This is not fair to most people at all! You cannot represent the entire Germany, or even the entire Prussia!"
"My ideal Germany is a country that does not need to be divided into Protestants and Catholics, and does not need to be marked with Prussia, Bavaria, and Saxony in its own identity. It is a country that is truly unified and powerful, and adopts a parliamentary system, which allows people from all walks of life to participate fully. Instead of those Junker nobles who are nostalgic about history and lie in the pile of old papers to find the glory of the past, ruled this country." Hindenburg replied.
"But, Germany won this war that was enough to shock the world under my leadership! This was the largest war ever, and its influence and achievements were enough to overshadow my grandfather!" William II roared.
