Chapter 274: The Royalists

Subtitle of this chapter: I am the illegitimate son of Wilhelm II

Yuan Yanqian didn't know when she ran to the mahjong table, and danced and said: "I think of His Majesty William, who is the authentic of Brandenburg and the descendant of Hohenzollern." Commanding Rong Keping and Zhenying, Kuang helped Austria-Hungary to sweep Tsarist Russia, which is in line with the way of heaven and people,"

Actually, these are all historical facts written in history books.

"But I never expected that the little Moltke, the tiger uncle and the dog nephew, would vainly change the success of Schliefen's plan; Falgenhan is in vain. Launched the First Battle of Verdun, and lost countless soldiers. ”

Well, there's nothing wrong with that. Moltke the Elder's nephew, Moltke the Younger, did revise the Schlieffen plan, and Falgenheim, who succeeded Moltke as Chief of the General Staff of the German Army (1914-1916), was nicknamed "The Butcher of Verdun".

"And the Fort of Hinden, the bearded old thief! Ludendorff, the first horseman! Embarrassed and arbitrary. When these two thieves returned to Valhalla, how could they see the first emperor William I and the first prime minister Bismarck!"

That's right, Hindenburg, the third chief of the German General Staff in World War I, and Ludendorff, the first quartermaster (equivalent to the deputy chief of the General Staff), did join forces to overthrow Wilhelm II so that the second emperor would not cause trouble.

It has to be said here that Hindenburg and Wilhelm II had a vendetta. In an army exercise in 1908, the army under his command behaved so well that the referee had to declare the army under the command of Kaiser Wilhelm II defeated against him. So later, he was driven out of the army by the second emperor of Zhong, and went home to drink beer and nibble on pig's knuckle.

In fact, from 1916 onwards, the German Empire was ruled by the Oberste Heeresleitung (OHL), a military dictatorship headed by Hindenburg.

Our Master Yuan scolded these four German military commanders, and the three military experts in the audience were dumbfounded.

Oh, if you ignore his yellow appearance, and then take this passage from classical Chinese...... Well, if you change English to German, then it's a hardcore royalist Junker knight.

"How can it be repaired...... Well, hateful! Yuan Yan sighed dejectedly, gritted his teeth and said, "The death of my Second Empire will fall at the hands of these incompetent people and the November traitors!" ”

The November traitors speak of the left and right factions of the November Revolution. On November 3, 1918, the sailors of the Kiel fleet, in order to oppose the order to fight the British fleet at sea, and to demand the release of the previously captured sailors, held a demonstration with the dock workers, and the demonstration quickly developed into an armed uprising, which eventually swept through Germany. Much more fortunate than his distant cousin Nicholas II, His Majesty Wilhelm II fled to the Netherlands, where he announced his abdication.

Later, the right-wing Social Democrats and the OHL reached an agreement that the government would not attempt to reform the army as long as it promised to protect the government and reorganize it into the Wehr (Reichsehr). The Freikorps, a semi-military organization of the reorganized Wehrmacht and volunteers, suppressed the German Communist Party, which consisted of leftists from the SPD and several leftist groups of the Spartacist League.

Among the three people in the audience, Mr. Chandler Jr. has long been accustomed to the style of the fool-sama who often convulses, and Yamamoto Isoroku is not very surprised, because this Chinese really has the style of a stranger.

But Mr. Stauffenberg, who did not know much about him, was astonished, how could Yanshu-von-Yuan and His Majesty Wilhelm II be in the same tone, and even the words were so similar.

"Tom!"

Our Master Yuan jumped off the stage, stepped forward and grabbed Mr. Stauffenberg, stared at him with blazing eyes, and asked, "Now I am a big Deutstein...... Well, the strong enemies of the empire are rampant around the traitorous party, so that the internal and external turmoil and people's livelihood are withering, and I think that the people at home are like a great drought for His Majesty the Emperor, and the pure son looks up to his mother, this is the time for my generation to work hard......"

"I don't know what I can do for His Majesty?"

"Well......" Mr. Stauffenberg looked at Master Yuan with a sincere face, and was actually a little embarrassed. Oh, this Chinese are all bent on helping Wilhelm II restore, but these real Junkers are a little content with the status quo.

In fact, their Junkers are not satisfied with the status quo, and that is not okay. The reason is that the 33,000 active officers who led the German army at the time of the declaration of war in 1914 still basically maintained the Prussian aristocratic color, but unfortunately most of the middle and lower ranks of these people, that is, the officers of the battalion and company ranks, did not survive until the second half of 1915, in other words, there was a big fault line among the aristocratic officers.

The rapid expansion of the officer corps during the war inevitably led to the breaking of the unspoken rules of the officer corps, not only the threshold of the officer corps, but also the national compulsion, and the Jews actually joined the ranks of the Imperial officer corps, and it was impossible to find out that there was no way to find out such an unlabeled thing as political positions, and many SPDs became officers. Together with the imperial opposition among the top generals, they contributed to the emperor's abdication in 1918.

By 1920, the de facto control of the German officer corps was still in Hindenburg's hands. Count Scharnhorst and Mr. Stauffenberg, who followed Wilhelm II to the Netherlands, and General Schleicher, the German Chancellor of Weimar, were the real royalists.

It was precisely because Hindenburg was unwilling to restore the monarchy, at least during his lifetime, that he was reluctant to accept General Schleicher's suggestion to carry out a coup d'état. Otherwise there will only be Wilhelm III (son of Wilhelm II), where will there be any Führer.

Later, the July 20 incident, in which Mr. Stauffenberg's younger brother, the one-eyed colonel, assassinated Hitler with a bomb in the wolf's den and staged a military coup d'état, was in fact the last ditch of the Prussian conservative officer corps.

After talking for a long time, it means that unless Hindenburg is killed, these royalists will be useless!

However, can Yuan Yanqian still do the arms smuggling business with a little useless royalist officer?

So he didn't wait for Mr. Stauffenberg to answer, he slapped his forehead and said, "Damn it, I forgot everything!" ”

I only heard him say in a deep voice: "We Cyris people have an old saying, soldiers and horses go first before grain and grass are moved. There is also an old saying that money is not everything, but no money is everything. I think His Majesty the Emperor must be short of a fund for the restoration of the country now. Isn't that so, Mr. Stauffenberg? ”

Heck, now it would be nice to be able to send bulk texts and emails, the content: Hello, I'm the illegitimate son of Wilhelm II, and I have 135 tons of gold frozen in Germany. But because I am abroad recently and need funds to unfreeze, after paying me, I promised to give you 1 ton of gold, and leave a position as a division commander for you, if you don't want to be a division commander, then you will be an earl, if you don't want to be an earl, I will marry my sister to you.

Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't have any money, as long as you're in good health. I also have an older sister who married into a wealthy family, but her husband has lost her fertility and is now looking for a healthy man in order to inherit a huge family fortune......
