Chapter 1784 The choice of the high seas fleet 2
"Something seems to be happening in the distance." At this time, a German navy soldier standing on the lookout outside the warehouse said, looking at the smoke rising from a block in the distance.
"Is it? It seems that our comrades are coming. It seems that they are still carrying vehicles, so we can transfer supplies faster." A right-wing member of the Social Democratic Party in a cotton coat next to him said with relief. The soldiers from an army training camp far away outside Kiel chose neutrality, and the high seas fleet has sailed far away, and the personnel of the naval land facilities have their support, so in his opinion, Kiel has now fallen into the hands of the parliamentary faction, and what they lack is to distribute these weapons, then establish a temporary municipal government, and then power the whole country to express their support for the Berlin Parliament!
"This is definitely not our people! Our people don't have armored vehicles!" The navy soldiers on the side were not that comfortable, because just half a minute ago, armored vehicles appeared in his telescope! He had seen armored vehicles shipped on board at Keel Port to be transported to the East Line, exactly the same as these vehicles, except that the paint had changed and turned into the paint of the high seas fleet!
"The person who came is not good!" A few minutes later, the information also reached the ears of the base commander, and at this time he did not think that such a team of armored vehicles suddenly appeared here as passing by!
"This is the Marine Corps of the High Seas Fleet! Order to take over this warehouse! Everyone! Immediately put down the weapons in my hands and gather in the square! After 15 minutes, those who were still standing in the warehouse area were regarded as hostile!" With the sound of the loudspeaker in the convoy and the ultimatum issued, the Bavarian Legion had launched an attack formation. The infantry squad began to slid along the street and entered the houses that were selected as commanding heights, and the machine guns on the combat chariots were also aimed at the observation deck in the distance!
"Pull out our 88mm rapid-fire cannon!" said a naval officer.
"Is it necessary?" A Bavarian officer next to him looked at the other party with a weird look, thinking, have the guys in the warehouse next door owe these naval officers the salary? Is it so bitter and deep? The 88mm rapid-fire gun mentioned by this naval officer is not the short-barrel howitzers appear on the Western Front. These are modified with a submarine deck cannon with a gun mount. In this era, it is absolutely considered as the cannon standard. If this gun is gone, it will be fine to directly penetrate the wall, and it will be fined to directly drill a hole in the warehouse next door!
"Of course it is necessary. Someone just reported that there was no one behind the gate. We can easily destroy their will to resist with just one shot at the gate. Don't worry, those cowards on the shore are good at fighting for rations, but they will never dare to face blood and fire!" The naval officer said confidently. After seeing no one objected to his opinion, he greeted his companions behind him, and then pushed an 88mm rapid-fire cannon with a shield about 800 meters away from the warehouse in front of the warehouse defenders!
"O God! They actually want to use artillery!"
"What do these madmen want to do?" When the 88mm rapid-fire cannon leveled the cannon, the parliamentary personnel who had already been brave enough to put the machine gun on the wall immediately exploded. After all, they were civilians a day ago, but now, they had to face the situation where the cannon was pressed on their foreheads! They thought they were what everyone thought, but now, the High Seas Fleet told them that this is the territory of the fleet, so you can't even think about it!
Boom! The artillery barrel shrank backwards suddenly, and a 10kg shell hit the warehouse gate roared and smashed the warehouse gate directly to pieces. A few seconds later, another shell directly blew a wall. And these two shells were like throwing a cold water into a oil pan, causing the entire parliament to stir up the pot in an instant!
"Let down your weapons immediately! Our patience is limited! We don't have so much time to spend here with you scoundrels!" A terrifying ultimatum sounded again in the loudspeaker. After a brief chaos, the opponent seemed to finally recognize the situation and began to give up resistance. Teams of people kept waving in their hands with white flags, and then consciously put down the gun that had just been received for a few minutes, and walked to the square next to the warehouse in shame.
"Abducting the warehouse's responsible personnel and senior Social Democratic Party leaders, these guys need to be interrogated strictly. As for these threat followers? We still have a lot to do, let them do our logistics work and keep people closer." Major General Schul said. Looking at the performance of these people, Major General Schul, who once took the lead in charge on the Eastern Front and blew up French tanks on the Western Front, scoffed at their combat effectiveness and will, and did not think they could have any combat effectiveness when the situation was over.
"Today, I'm just practicing. Maybe one day we will meet the Army's reserve team." Major General Shure said.
"Maybe, if you really encounter it, you can take the front line and we will be responsible for fire support." The naval officer next to him joked.
"No problem, everything is for Bavaria and for the Imperial Navy." Major General Schul said.
Unfortunately, Major General Schul's language was met in the following day! Albert was still unwilling to give up the large amount of weapons and equipment stored in the Kiel Naval Base, so a reserve regiment that defected to the parliament was sent to Kiel Port. Although this unit had regiment organization, its combat effectiveness was still much worse. All his personnel had only about 1,500 people, no heavy weapons, and few machine guns. It might be enough to deal with the police and military police, but it would be useless to face a mechanized unit with artillery? Even if the other party had only one battalion, it would be useless!
"We seem to be late!" At this time, when the parliamentary force arrived at the periphery of Keel Port, they were greeted by a dozen armored vehicles and at least eight rapid-fire cannons behind them. Hundreds of soldiers were scattered in hasty bunkers blocking the path of the invaders.
"This is different from what we expected. The navy seems very unfriendly!" The officer leading the team put down the telescope in his hand and said helplessly. "Tell the headquarters that the navy has been armed and has a firm will to guard their port. We cannot conquer here."
At the same time, the parliamentary troops rushing to other important ports were also blocked by the navy. Faced with the Bavarian contingent with guns and guns, and the high seas fleets rushing back to the port, these parliamentary troops, mainly reserve forces, had no good solutions.
After the Navy regained control of Wilhelmshaven, Kiel Port and Kiel Canal, it began to restore normal order and production in the city. After returning to Kiel Port, General Schell issued a telegram nationwide to indicate the navy's attitude towards this political incident. With strong force as a backing, no one could do anything to the navy for a while!
