"If faith breaks, lies come true. Our kingdom will fall like a comet. ……”

A low tune came from the barracks, and when Duke Frobert heard it, his expression immediately changed.

The songs sung by Brazilian soldiers were passed down from the Han National Defense Forces.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement failed because of the disillusionment of the Taiping Army, and Li Mingyuan rebuilt the Han state in South America as the prince of the king, and at the same time, in order to warn the Wehrmacht soldiers to remember the lessons and not forget the national beliefs, he added and deleted a song from later generations as one of the military songs of the Wehrmacht troops.

The singing of a military song by the Brazilian troops had little effect on itself, but thinking that this military song was one of the military songs of the Wehrmacht, Duke Frobert could not help but think of the influence of the surging nationalism in the Han Kingdom on the Brazilian soldiers.

The main force of the Brazilian army is composed of native-born whites, who are all land-owning rich peasants and small landlords, and in the Qin and Han dynasties of China, they are suitable for serving as soldiers. At the same time, because they were young and vigorous and had little contact with the cruelty of the political struggle of the upper echelons of the country, the young Zhuang soldiers were also the most radical group, and they saw the current situation of social turmoil and economic decline in Brazil, and were easily influenced by the outside world, and then developed radical and extreme ideas and adopted what they thought was the right way to solve social contradictions.

Duke Forrobert has been paying attention to the domestic development and changes of the Han Kingdom since he participated in the founding ceremony of the Han people, and the more he learned, the more Duke Forrobert felt the horror of the Han Kingdom.

The Han State implemented a military-civilian policy of preparing for war, and adult men from the age of 18 to 48 had to participate in military training of various specifications, and the Han State established a complete set of military industries through the government-led way to meet the basic domestic weapons needs, and at the same time, the annual uninterrupted Chinese immigration not only provided the Han State with cheap labor for the development of industry, but also increased the military potential of the Han State, if the population of the Han State reached the size of the Brazilian Empire, the Brazilian Empire and the Han State would have no chance of winning in the confrontation.

It was precisely because of the recognition of the great potential for the development of the Han State that Duke Forrobert often persuaded the Brazilian Emperor Pedro II to stabilize the domestic economy and expand the national defense military force, and at the same time advocated the implementation of general mobilization in the First Argentine War, taking advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Han National Defense Force to enter Argentina in the south and the emptiness of the country, to occupy the capital of the Han State at any cost and solve the military threat of the Han State to Brazil.

Duke Frobert's suggestion was undoubtedly correct, and Pedro II and his close ministers were not unaware of the dangers of letting the Han state develop, but the casualties of the troops on the front line were increasing day by day, and the warships that had been purchased so hard were heavily damaged in the naval battle, Pedro II and the officials and ministers who controlled the state affairs of Brazil immediately rejected Frobert's proposal and withdrew the troops that had suffered a lot of losses to the country to be used against the relatively weak Paraguayan troops.

After repeated failed persuasions, the relationship between Duke Frobert and Pedro II became more and more estranged, and this time Pedro II would not have invited him to come over to appease the soldiers if it were not for the unstable morale of some young soldiers in the Brazilian army.

Arriving at the gate of the barracks, Robert ordered the coachman to wait outside the door, and he entered the barracks with a few attendants.

"Pause, pause!" Seeing Duke Frobert walk in, a young white officer who was no more than thirty years old ordered his subordinates to sing a military song for a truce, and then ordered the two officers next to him to trot to Duke Frobert's side.

"Your Excellency Duke, did His Majesty Pedro II send you?"

"His Royal Highness Pedro II is very concerned about the situation of the army, and His Majesty hopes that you will be able to disband the organization of the "Knights of Brasilia", the Imperial Army is a purely armed force, and Your Majesty does not want to see unauthorized groups appear in the army. ”

Duke Frobert earnestly persuaded, "I understand your feelings of worrying about the country, but the country's political arrangements are limited by law, and if you want Your Majesty to hear your voice, you can respond to the army's superiors, and you should not form a small group privately to resist the army's orders."

Captain Ebel, today I am not speaking to you as a duke, but as a soldier of the Empire, and I hope you will think it carefully and do not disregard His Majesty's good intentions. ”

"Your Excellency, we respect your contribution to the Empire, we are not unreasonable people, and if it weren't for Marshal Mitchell's unjustified exclusion and revenge on General Garcia, and the arbitrary placement of those incompetent rats in the army, we would not have taken this approach."

Captain Ebel's eyes were red, and he said excitedly, "General Garcia has washed away the insult of the first Paraguayan defeat in the second war with the Paraguayan army, but Marshal Mitchell resents General Garcia for taking his position as commander in chief of the first Paraguayan war, and after reinstating his position, he used the power in his hands to deduct General Garcia's logistics equipment, and when General Garcia was about to recover Magrosso Sul, he replaced General GarcΓ­a with Master, which led to the failure of the military operation to recover Sul Magrosso.

Duke Frobert, you are a veteran of the Imperial Army, and you should be aware of the battlefield advantage that General Garcia had achieved before he was evacuated, and that such a good situation was destroyed by Marshal Mitchell, and now he is going to send General Garcia to the logistics department.

What is the logistics department, I'm afraid that no one in the army doesn't know, the logistics department is not even as good as the engineering troops on the front line, and the transfer of General Garcia there is not a intention to retaliate, what else can it be? ”

The young white officer named Ebel did not show any restraint in front of the veteran Duke Frobert, and said in an impassioned manner: "Although the Han Wehrmacht is an enemy of the Empire, their fighting spirit is admirable, and the defeat in the first Paraguayan War is not entirely the responsibility of General Garcia, but Marshal Mitchell also bears the unshirkable responsibility, so I hope that the Duke will convey our proposal to Your Majesty in place of the young Imperial soldiers who are still alive." ”

"Feel free to ask for anything, and Your Majesty will seriously consider your suggestion."

"First: to restore General Garcia to his post and to have General Garcia as Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army,

Second, remove Marshal Mitchell from his post and investigate Marshal Mitchell for the crime of mishandling military information and abusing power.

Third: Disband the Negro Legion, send the Imperial Army to severely suppress the rebellious Negro forces, and at the same time, in order to maintain the purity of the Reich's white blood, recommend that Your Majesty expel the Negroes in the country to prevent them from revolting again in the future.

Fourth: dissolve the parliament, ban liberal and republican party organizations, and strengthen the central power of the imperial government.

……”

The young white officer put forward more than a dozen conditions one after another, but the expression on Frobert's face became more and more heavy.

"Captain Ebel, as Imperial soldiers, it is our duty to defend national security, and political things are the responsibility of Imperial officials, not military personnel should interfere."

Duke Frobert couldn't listen and interrupted him.

"Government officials have no regard for the interests of the country, only know how to argue in parliament, and the situation in the country has deteriorated to such a state that if even the soldiers of the empire do not intervene, the Brazilian Empire will probably fall into the hands of aliens.

If the empire collapsed, government officials and aristocratic lords could emigrate to other countries like the upper echelons of Eastern Rome, but what about ordinary white people, their land and property were here, and how could they survive in other countries if they left the land. ”

The resting Brazilian soldiers gradually gathered around the two, and the young officer was not affected by the soldiers around him, and continued: "His Royal Highness Pedro II imitated the French system and gave democratic power to the republicans, liberals and big businessmen with good intentions, but the French Empire has collapsed under the attack of the German Empire, the French liberal and democratic system is no match for the German monarchical centralized system, and the liberal and democratic political system of the Brazilian Empire is also not suitable for the complex and chaotic situation in the country, and we hope that His Royal Highness can make up his mind." , strengthening the administrative power of the imperial government, following the example of the German Empire, concentrating state forces on economic development and quelling domestic rebellions.

Your Excellency, this is all we want, please pass it on to Your Majesty, please! ”

"Alas, your ideas are too radical!"

Unable to convince the young soldiers, Frobert took the letters they had prepared, sighed, and turned to leave the barracks.
