The fastest update of the latest chapter of Iron and Blood Germany!

When Moltke Jr. was on trial, he was very tough. He was silent in the face of the Tribunal's allegations. No denial, no recognition. Born noble, he undoubtedly has an extremely high status in Germany. This makes him face the trial with a cold face and contempt for the court.

However, even if he did not cooperate, the justice still sentenced Moltke Jr. to be hanged after presenting a large amount of evidence in court.

The Duke of Württemberg, when he was on trial, also refused to admit his guilt. He claimed that he had no intention of participating in the rebellion, but that Crown Prince William had deceived him. Wilhelm II's death was shot directly by Crown Prince Wilhelm, and it had nothing to do with him. He even tried to use his identity and status to put pressure on the court. so that it can be lightly dropped.

But it's a pity that the court has already been instructed by Qin Tian, and it is absolutely impossible for the Duke of Württemberg to be forgiven.

What's more, after the rebellion, the Duke of Württemberg also tried to transfer the 4th Army to return to China and participate in the rebellion. This was undoubtedly something that Qin Tian couldn't bear. Once the 4th Army returned home to participate in the rebellion, it would have a very negative impact on the counterinsurgency this time. It would even put the German Empire at an extreme disadvantage in this war. Therefore, Qin Tian would definitely not let him go easily.

When the Chancellor announced that the Duke of Württemberg had been hanged, he immediately broke down. He shouted in the courtroom, declaring that it was Qin Tian's sabotage of him. And claimed that the Kingdom of Württemberg and the royal family of Württemberg would never give up.

The last three to be tried were Field Marshal Goltz, Lieutenant General Prittwitz, and Lieutenant General Graf. In addition to Lieutenant General Graf's toughness, Field Marshal Goltz and Lieutenant General Plitwitz were very unbearable. Although they all confessed in court and expressed their remorse, hoping to be forgiven and forgiven, and to be lenient. However, he still has not been able to be forgiven. The court still sentenced the three of them to death by hanging, which was immediately executed.

The whole trial only took half a day. After that, seven bodies were already hung on the gallows in front of the courtroom. These corpses are like flags hanging from the flagpole.

The Berlin crowd of onlookers also seemed to have become numb. Looking at those big people who usually have eyes above the top, being hung up one after another and ending their lives, there seems to be an indescribable sense of pleasure in their hearts.

Of course, there are also some people on the gallows, miserable and dark. For example, the families of these people who were hanged. Crown Prince William's wife and children, Etter? Prince Friedrich's wife and children, the family of little Moltke, the families of the others who were hanged, they wept and cursed Qin Tian. However, they did not dare to have other excesses. Now these people are the targets of the Empire's military and secret agencies, and they are the focus of monitoring. If they are found to be doing something harmful to the Empire, or if they have other malicious intentions, they will be immediately stopped, or even arrested.

Wilhelm II is dead, Crown Prince Wilhelm and Ettel? Prince Friedrich also died. This makes Qin Tian's right to inherit the throne no longer be threatened in any way. Although, he also has two older brothers. However, they did not participate in this mutiny, and they were also shocked by Qin Tian's iron-blooded methods. If they had some thoughts about the throne before. Now, they know very well that the throne is not something they can touch. Otherwise, I won't even be able to take my own life. Don't they want to be like Crown Prince William and Ettel? Prince Friedrich, like him, was hung on the gallows. Being able to be a prince and get their share of the royal property every year is very satisfying for them. Can't you kill yourself because of lack of greed?

However, Qin Tian insisted on executing Crown Prince William, but let Empress Victoria completely hate him. When attending the funeral of Wilhelm II, Queen Victoria's face was always very unpleasant. Outsiders may think that this is because Wilhelm II died, so she was overly sad. However, only Qin Tian knew that Empress Victoria was angry because Qin Tian insisted on executing Crown Prince William.

Even so, Qin Tian still stuck to his plan. Crown Prince William failed this time in his mutiny, and wept bitterly and begged for forgiveness. But Qin Tian couldn't believe him at all, and he couldn't give him another chance. In Qin Tian's view, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Therefore, he will not let Crown Prince William go no matter what. As long as this time bomb is completely eliminated, he will be at ease.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's funeral has already taken place. The trial of Crown Prince William and others has also taken place. Next, it's your turn to take the throne. As the Crown Prince, when His Majesty the Emperor dies, it is only natural that you will succeed to the throne as Emperor. Prime Minister Bilow said.

"Yes, Your Highness. Although the current situation in the country is still very stable. However, if the throne continues to be vacant like this, it will have many adverse effects. Foreign Minister Vahit also said.

The other important ministers of the empire all spoke out one after another, asking Qin Tian to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

For the throne, Qin Tian didn't want it, it was impossible. It's just that he still has something to deal with before he ascends the throne.

"Let's put the matter of enthronement aside for a while! I have been following the situation in the Kingdom of Württemberg. The Duke of Württemberg was hanged, but the royal family of Württemberg remained silent and did not say anything. This is undoubtedly very abnormal. We have been informed that they are plotting against the Empire. Therefore, we must take precautions in advance. When the matter of the Kingdom of Württemberg is settled, I will ascend the throne and become emperor! Qin Tian said.

"Your Highness, the Kingdom of Württemberg is an important state of the Empire. Especially now that we are at a critical moment of war, if the kingdom of Württemberg is in chaos, the consequences will be very serious. "Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff Von? Falkenhain said.

Qin Tian nodded, the Kingdom of Württemberg has a lot of heavy industry, and Stuttgart is an important manufacturing base, and there are many enterprises related to the military industry, all of which are there. Therefore, there can be no mistakes.

"General Hindenburg, the 9th Corps, immediately marched towards Württemberg. Take over the kingdom of Württemberg as soon as possible. Make sure there is stability. In particular, all kinds of heavy industry enterprises must be intact! Qin Tian ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness." Admiral Hindenburg immediately carried out the order.
