"Prince be careful!"

One of the guards shouted, and threw Prince off his horse, sending bullets flying over their heads from the direction of the British.

"Ah......" Prince's scream came from the ground, and everyone trembled in fear, lest something might go wrong with the crown prince. The Guards cavalry immediately erected a thick human wall in front of the prince with their bodies, and the armored troops brought by Prince and the two German infantry divisions nearby also immediately suppressed the British troops in front with heavy fire, and the British who had no cover were immediately killed and wounded.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! His Royal Highness the Prince! The personal guards were horrified to find that Prince had passed out, but fortunately there was no blood on him, and it seemed that he had just fallen and injured himself when he was thrown off his horse.

"Quick! Escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out of here! The chief of the prince's personal guard commanded the people to transport the prince back to the rear, and then turned his head to look at the British not far away, who were already stunned by the German fire.

"Damn the British, not a single one will be left!"

With the exception of the cavalry escorting the prince away, the remaining light cavalry drew their swords and roared towards the British, who had lost organized resistance under the fire of German tanks, and Prince's Guards cavalry successfully rushed into the British crowd, followed by a brutal slaughter. Amid the hoarse wails of the British, even the British commander, Sir French, was not spared.

Manfred's fighter squadron was still hovering in the air, and their squadron leader was already in a cold sweat at this time. The battlefield below was in chaos, all due to his blind order to attack without carefully understanding the situation on the battlefield. At this time, he did not know that the crown prince was injured because of this, otherwise he would probably faint directly on the plane.

Manfred was still recalling what had just happened in horror, and after the fighter planes in front began to strafe the British soldiers, the formation of the British army suddenly became chaotic.

The nerves of the British soldiers suddenly exploded, and they thought that all this was a trap laid by the Germans, so the soldiers began to shoot at the Germans in their field of vision, including the German planes in the air and the surrendered troops directly opposite them, which directly caused Prince's guards to pounce on him in order to protect him.

The surrounding German soldiers were also loaded with shells and bullets to guard against the British at any time, and when the British opened fire, they naturally fired back unceremoniously, and the German firepower was far above the British, and the British artillery was all killed before they even had time to shoot.

The other pilots were just as overwhelmed as Manfred, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, the accident was caused by them. After hovering blankly for a while, they returned worried.

The news soon reached Paris, and the German generals were taken by surprise.

"How could this happen?"

Chen Tian was surprised by this, because Prince did not inform the other troops of the surrender of the British army at all. However, even if it is reported, it is difficult for those pilots to be notified in the first place, and this kind of thing is really difficult to avoid.

"Accident, pure accident!" The expression on Hoffman's face was complicated, "It's good that person hangs up, otherwise the result is very likely to be like the last London bombing, and the good deeds have taken advantage of the problem and put the hat of conspiracy on your head!" ”

"I'm also very worried about this, but this time we didn't know there was such a thing beforehand!" Chen Tian shook his head helplessly, sometimes he really wanted to kill Prince directly, so as not to be suspicious of people all the time. But in the war, any **** from within could destroy the advantages that Germany had worked so hard to build.

Hoffman also looked very distressed, "The pilots who fought in that battle were transferred from our corps to support the Western Front before, and now although they are under the direct command of the General Command of the Western Front, the pilots are still subordinate to the East Prussian Legion Air Corps in terms of military status!" ”

"This is really bad news, if those pilots were part of Army Group Prince, we wouldn't have to bother so much!" Chen Tian has gradually understood that although as the saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, but once things involve politics, some things cannot be decided by personal will.

"I think the military court will hear it clearly, but if someone wants to deliberately plant it...... Your Royal Highness, do you remember the previous delay in the transfer of information about the Russian Guards? Until now we did not know exactly who wanted to put the East Prussian regiments to death. If that person comes out to make trouble again this time, we're afraid we'll have a headache! ”

"Alas! Although all the clues are vaguely pointing to a behind-the-scenes giant, I still can't understand why he did it. Does the whole world want to kill me and our legion? If it weren't for the fact that I was in the middle of the war now, I really wanted to ......" Chen Tian felt more and more that he had to learn from the poisonous snake, not only to be cold-blooded, but also to have two deadly fangs, otherwise it would be difficult to survive in this political environment.

"Wait until the war is over!" Hoffman gritted his teeth, and he made a difficult choice between being loyal to his country or to his individual.

At the German airfield 5 kilometers east of Paris, warhawks are taking off or landing in an orderly manner, and there is no suspense over the battlefield, so the pilots are basically relaxed. Most of them hoped that the French would produce more planes, because there would be success if there was adventure, and they did not know what year or month they would have to wait for the accumulation of flights in exchange for higher ranks and coveted medals.

On the west side of the airport, a group of small "Hummingbird" fighters had just landed, and a group of guys in military police uniforms greeted them. No one was surprised or resisted, as if the pilot inside had known about the outcome, and they stepped off the plane and silently followed the gendarmes.

"What's wrong with them?" Other pilots and ground crews were very confused by this.

"I heard that they opened fire on the British troops!" The person who answered seemed well-informed.

Everyone was still puzzled, "Is there anything wrong with beating the British?" ”

"It seems that the British have surrendered, I don't know the specifics!"

"Oh......" The others looked like they had realized, but they still didn't understand anything.

Soon after, several cars stopped at the entrance of the headquarters of the 8th Army, and the Chief of the Army General Staff, Falkenhein, hurriedly got out of one of them, looking very nervous.

As the head of the Western Front, once something happens to the crown prince, he will not be able to sit in the position of chief of the general staff.

As soon as he entered the door, Falkenhain couldn't wait to speak: "Your Royal Highness, you have also heard about the prince!" I'm going to go to the location of the 5th Army to see the Prince's injuries, do you want to go with you? ”

"Hmmm! I just heard that, and that's exactly what I did! ”

It is better to come early than to come by chance, Chen Tian instructed Hoffman: "You can command it on my behalf when I am not there, except for particularly important situations to report to me, you can make your own decisions about small things!" ”

Hoffman nodded, and then watched the two of them leave in a hurry, and sighed deeply.

It was only 20 kilometers from Paris to the location of the 5th Army, which could be reached in half an hour.

"How is the prince's injury?" Chen Tian asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

Falkenhayne was worried, "It's not very clear, it's said that I'm still unconscious!" ”

"Comatose? My God! Chen Tian didn't know whether to be happy or sad, the position of the German crown prince seemed to be beckoning to him, and the false accusations and blames were also in the dark.

"And the pilots who caused the accident, I have asked the gendarmes to detain them, here is their list." Falkenhain said as he handed over a piece of report paper with a row of ranking words written in his hand.

"Oh!" Chen Tian did not express any opinion on this, and in this case, it is normal for the parties to be investigated by military courts.

He glanced at it briefly, and his gaze suddenly stayed on a line of letters.

Manfred. Feng. Richthofen!

"Oh God! How could this poor fellow get involved in this! Chen Tian really smiled bitterly, if these pilots were sentenced by a military court, the legendary Red Baron might have to stay in prison until the end of the war.

"Your Royal Highness, what's wrong?" Falkenhein was a little surprised by Chentian's reaction, and it was impossible for a prince to be familiar with every pilot under him.

Chen Tian shook his head, "I happen to know one of the pilots inside, so it seems that these pilots are all from the air force of the East Prussian Legion, which means that these are my people!" ”

These are all facts that the two of them already know, but there is no meaning in saying it from Chen Tian's mouth.

"It's a pity, isn't it?"

"I think they were unintentional, after all, the crown prince did not report to me the situation of that British army in the first place, this is a mistake that cannot be ignored!" Judging by Falkenhein's tone, it seems that he has decided to make a fuss about this omission of the crown prince. However, he should also know very well that if the Kaiser is really angry, even if he is justified, it is useless.

If Chen Tian and him stand on the same side, the hope of the two of them to protect themselves is much greater, which is beneficial for both parties.

Chentian naturally understood what Falkenhayn meant.

After that, both of them silently thought about their own thoughts.

The sound of gunfire was incessant along the way, and it seemed that the development of the entire battle situation was not affected by this accident. After the British army was completely annihilated, the encirclement was still gradually shrinking, and the 100,000 French troops seemed to have no other way out, while other German troops were methodically crossing the river and pursuing the French army.

When Chen Tian and his entourage came to the field hospital in the rear of the 5th Army, they found that the atmosphere there seemed to be particularly solemn, and an invisible sense of oppression made it difficult for everyone to breathe.

The wounded throughout the hospital appeared to have been evacuated, and there were heavily armed soldiers and worried-looking officers. Chen Tian and his party came to a tent with the highest security, and through the gap in the tent, a dozen doctors could be seen circling around a hospital bed.

"Your Royal Highness! Chief! A general who stopped at the door whispered a salute to Chentian and Falkenhayin.

"How is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Falkenhein asked with concern.

The general hesitated for a moment, and motioned for a military doctor inside, who was probably the head of the hospital, to come out.

"Lieutenant Colonel Rand, tell His Royal Highness the Prince and the Chief of the General Staff about His Royal Highness the Prince's injuries!"

The medic glanced back into the tent, and then said in a low voice:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still unconscious for the time being, and he has no serious external injuries on his body except for a few abrasions. After we examined him, he was found to have suffered a violent concussion on his head when he fell from his horse, and the back of his head was bruised. As for the specific injury, we recommend that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be sent back to Berlin for a detailed examination after his physical condition has stabilized! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's life is not in danger!" Falkenhayn asked cautiously.

The medic shook his head, "It's hard to say how it will develop now. Maybe the prince will wake up tomorrow morning, maybe ......"

Vegetable? Chen Tian was stunned in his heart, and now things are complicated.

"Can we go in and see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Falkenhain asked in an inquiring tone.

The medic looked at Prince's general, and he did not object.

"Alright! But the two of you can only stay for a while, the prince needs quiet and fresh air!"

Chen Tian suddenly felt that this sentence was very funny, that dozen doctors could bring the peace and fresh air that the prince needed?

Still, he and Falkenhain walked softly, and after the soldiers lifted the curtain of the tent, half a dozen doctors withdrew.

There was only one bed in the tent, and there were various tools for checking the body on the table next to it. The pale Prince was lying quietly on the bed, and there was not a trace of scar on his delicate face, and it seemed that this unlucky fellow had indeed hit the back of his head.

Chen Tian stared carefully at Prince's eyelids for a long time, this guy was indeed in a state of sleep, but no one knew how long he planned to sleep. Chen Tian glanced at Falkenhain, and he shook his head helplessly.

"Let's go!" Chen Tian said in a low voice, and then the two walked out of the tent silently.

"General, if there is any change in the prince's situation, please notify us as soon as possible!" Falkenhayne said to the general outside, and in front of Prince's men, Chentian tried to remain as silent as possible.

"Yes, Chief of the General Staff!" The man said respectfully.

"Hmmm! I will report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor! Falkenhayn nodded, and then walked with Chentian to their car.

The general looked coldly at the back of the two of them leaving side by side, and something seemed to flicker in his eyes. His name is Ingnever. Carlson, who is Prince's henchman, is also in charge of Prince's intelligence network. Of course, he had another, more secret identity, one that few people knew.
