In less than 30 minutes, the president returned to his seats with the judges, and then, without waiting for everyone to be quiet, read aloud: "This court has verified the authenticity of the "Summary of Reports on the Promotion of Eric Adrian's Position and Rank", which indeed records that Admiral Erick Adrian was promoted to the rank of general of the Imperial Army on June 11, 1917, so that Admiral Erich von Ludendorff is not guilty of Eric Adrian's disrespect to his superiors. Then he put down the file again, picked up the gavel and continued: "This case is not established, the case is closed." ”

The "pop" gavel finally sounded, but the case was closed.

In less than half a minute, everyone was still reminiscing about the strange document, which was dated June 11, 1917, wasn't it yesterday? Someone blurted out. Not only were the people in the audience and Ludendorff puzzled, and even Adrian himself didn't know that he had been promoted to general yesterday. But he wasn't stupid, and after thinking about what had happened during the period before and after, he understood the reason for this operation, but he didn't expect to be promoted due to a blessing in disguise.

Adrian, who came out of the birdcage, didn't even look at Ludendorff and Falkingham, and left the courtroom directly, he had already guessed that the emperor and the others must be in a certain room in the courtroom, but he was not stupid, and it would be a bit arrogant to look for it at this time. Adrian is not the only one who has seen through the doorway, and everyone has guessed eight or nine after a few guesses and exchanges. Wilhelm II and the others quietly left in a car when the president returned to the courtroom.

Adrian's driver was already waiting at the door, this was arranged by Adrian's secretary general, he was not stupid, even if Adrian's crime was convicted, Adrian would be safe and sound, but his reputation would be suppressed.

On the way back, Adrian would reminisce about this farce from time to time, a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and repeat a sentence in his heart.

"Rights are a good thing."

While Ludendorff was still at a loss at this time, a young soldier in a white personal uniform ran to convey the news that the emperor had been invited. Ludendorff had a look of sudden realization, but Falkingham had an expression that he had already known. Fa Kinghan was able to become the chief of the general staff not because he could win battles, but because he was a general who could only win battles, but also because he was a person with a flexible mind and a calculating mind, how could he not have expected the current situation. But the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to be done. Without even looking at Ludendorff, Falkingham walked away with a pale face.

When the two got out of the car, they met Wilhelm II, who was waiting for them on the steamer, and the latter's face was not embarrassed, but frightened, at least Falkingham thought so. Then they were surprised to find that except for Wilhelm II, all the other high-ranking officials were waiting for them here, and Falkingham didn't have to guess what was going to happen next, and he had even begun to curse Ludendorff for harming others and himself.

The cause of this incident has been understood in great detail by those present. In fact, if you really want to talk about the cause, Ludendorff and Falkingham are not actually responsible, but this kind of practice is very worthy of recognition, and they are both running up and down for the great cause of the empire. It's just that the next revenge of the two is mentally retarded, and they don't care about the overall situation. Everyone knows what kind of character Ludendorff is, and it is not difficult to understand that such behavior can happen from Ludendorff. The most surprising thing for everyone is that Fa Jinhan, who is the chief of staff of the Western Front, is also messing around, which makes many people unable to hang up, after all, he is the person who has served as the chief of the General Staff, which makes people suspect that the Empire's stagnation on the Western Front has something to do with the appointment. And the appointment of the chief of the general staff has always been done by the emperor, isn't this equivalent to slapping the emperor with a big ear scraper?

Wilhelm II looked at Falkingham, so angry that even his beard was shaking, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people here, he would really throw the cane in his left hand at him with his right hand.

The use of gas bombs began in the hands of Falkingham, and Ludendorff, as a latecomer, also supported such a decision, and hit it off with Falkingham, and immediately drew up a large number of plans for the use of gas bombs. However, it was at this time that the logistics officer told them that the General Office of Eric Adrian refused to provide gas bombs and ordered the hoarded gas bombs to be returned. Ludendorff and Falkingham, of course, did not do it, and let the gas bombs be snatched back. Adrian knew that he had almost done it because of this incident, and he asked his men to go back to Berlin first and then make plans, but there would be no more poison gas bombs in the future supply.

Adrian's ban on the use of gas bombs was known to everyone, but he did not interfere, and there were both in favor and disapproval of the use, and there were opinions on their own. Kaiser Wilhelm II was able to accept both outcomes, but after the incident became a big one, the Kaiser also felt a wave of political pressure and civil opposition, and he began to favor the use of such weapons. The effect of the gas bomb at that time gradually lost its initial effect, and if it was used again, it would only increase its notoriety.

As for dealing with the farce caused by these two people, the Kaiser also referred to the opinions of the ministers and did not move for the time being, because the Western Front at this time still needed these two people to continue to preside over the war. This is not the time when I was planning at the beginning, I couldn't do random transfers, and I had a purposeful behavior before, which is not the same.

Wilhelm II did not speak from beginning to end, and Moltke, as a representative, said something innocuous and let them go. Falkingham felt a little frightened when he recalled Wilhelm II's face, and only Ludendorff thought that the matter had been revealed.

After Adrian left the court-martial, he returned to the office of the prince's palace, and put aside this farce and threw himself into the upcoming arms purchase conference. This is an opportunity to divert unrestricted submarine warfare, and it is hoped that there will be some place where Moltke Jr., Hindenburg, Ludendorff, Falkingham and others will weaken their support for unrestricted submarine warfare, thereby delaying the entry of the United States into the war and giving the Reich more air to expand the results of the war. It also allows him to give lessons to those officials who think that the situation is very good, and to reduce the resistance to the proposal for peace talks. Otherwise, in the end, not only will the empire lose this battle, but also drag Adrian into the abyss, you must know that the entire Eric group has been pulled into the carriage of war, and this can't be done if you want to.
