Military courts, an independent tribunal not established as a result of the war to try people with military rank and position, do not hear civilian cases.

It's just that the interrogation object they received today is not easy to mess with, Lieutenant General Eric Adrian, Imperial Field Marshal, General Office of Military Economy, such people actually have no precedent for trial, and basically people at this level are personally involved in the emperor's level. But the two people in front of him are even more difficult to mess with, one is the commander-in-chief of the Western Front of Ludendorff, who is famous for his fiery temper, and he is also the marshal of the empire, and he has the rank of general. The other is also remarkable, Lieutenant General Falkingham, chief of staff on the Western Front. The first and second in command of the Western Front came, and they all mentioned the same person's name: Eric Adrian.

This matter was not carried out quietly, but in a formal manner, and the two did not say hello to His Majesty the Emperor in advance, and even Moltke Jr., chief of the General Staff, and Paul von Hindenburg, the chief of munitions, received no news at all. It's really that these two people are too angry, Adrian just sits on the chair and works, no matter how angry the two of them are, they are working on their own, and they don't have a subordinate and peace-level consciousness at all. Therefore, Ludendorff took Adrian to court-martial on charges of contempt for his superiors.

As soon as this news came out, all parties were alarmed, and even Wilhelm II, who had begun to diligently handle some official duties, exclaimed after hearing the news: "Is it crazy!?" ”

It's not, this is a typical example of fighting in the nest, the front-line soldiers and the rear support personnel are pinched, which is very common, but they will tacitly suppress it and prevent the ugliness of the family from being publicized. This move is to tell everyone that we are not compatible, and we are very incompatible, and even openly "do it".

Adrian, who was in the office, was also stunned when he heard the news, if it was only Ludendorff, he didn't doubt it, but why didn't Falkingham organize Ludendorff's reckless behavior? This is where Adrian does not understand.

At this time, when Falkingham knew that there was such a big movement, his intestines were remorseful, and he didn't want to stay here at all, he didn't persuade Ludendorff, but he was now Ludendorff's subordinate in terms of rank and position, and there was no way to force Ludendorff's decision to change. In the end, I had to bite the bullet, hoping that the military tribunal wouldn't be really stupid enough to make a big deal out of it. But he seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of the court-martial, and he never imagined that the part presiding over the court-martials would want to see them make a fool of themselves.

Big event, and a big enough event to stir up the world, almost all the top leaders of Berlin rushed to the military court. The guards who were on duty and on guard had never received so many big people, and they were all in high spirits and straightened their waists.

After receiving the summons, Adrian also got into a special car to go to the military court under the crowd of gendarmes and the eyes of office workers crowded in the corridors and halls.

The distance between the two places was not far away, and the gendarmerie who had deliberately cleared the way for this purpose had already cleared the road, and it only took ten minutes for Adrian to be brought to the dock for trial. There was a place to sit, but it was very narrow, and it was deliberately so that the person on trial could not sit well, so he did not sit, but stood in a wooden cage that was chest-high.

Looking at the people in the audience, Adrian's face turned blue and secretly scolded Ludendorff for being stupid, which was simply harming others and not benefiting himself.

The president of the court is a very old lean old man, and he has never really attended since he became the supreme president of the military court, and he is always presided over by other young presidents. Seeing that both sides had arrived, he found that it had quieted down before he could strike the gavel, which was the first time he had encountered such a thing. In fact, everyone really wants to see how this good show ends quickly, so they are all silent.

Wilhelm II had actually arrived, but he was not in the audience like everyone else, but in the next compartment, surrounded by a team led by Moltke Jr., Hindenburg, Holwig and others, who were quietly listening.

"Eric Adrian." The president looked at him and said.

Adrian was on trial for the first time at such a young age, and he didn't know what to do, so he looked at the president directly, and didn't even say a word.

Seeing that Adrian was not reacting, the judge couldn't help but look at the vice president beside him, who reminded Adrian to answer yes or no.

Adrian nodded sneeringly, and the president continued, "Are you Eric Adrian?" ”

"I am." Adrian replied angrily, saying that it was really too much, and took off his pants and farted.

The President did not pay any attention to his tone and asked: "Did you meet with Admiral Erich von Ludendorff this morning?" ”

"Yes." Adrian continued to answer, already knowing in his heart that this charge could not be escaped, and this was also where he was negligent, when so many people saw it, a subordinate could not run away from the disrespect of his superior.

"Didn't you salute Admiral Erich von Ludendorff?" After the president asked, he glanced at his mouth with disdain, and even he felt a little funny.

"Yes, no." Soon after Adrian finished speaking, he heard the door of the courtroom behind him be pushed open, and the whole interrogation was interrupted by an officer, who was hurrying to the president with a document and said a few words, after which the president said: "This court now needs to discuss whether it is effective because there is new evidence, and the court adjourns for 30 minutes." With that, he left with the other judges.

Adrian's birdcage was also opened by a guard, signaling that he was free to move around. In fact, this kind of behavior is not allowed, although it is an adjournment, but you can only sit in it and rest. But the guards felt that this rule was not very suitable for today, especially for the people involved in this trial.
