***************************

Backwards meant giving up and failing, so when the signal from the front was given to allow him to enter the station, Lieutenant Colonel Wagner had no choice but to order his train to move on. At the same time, he asked the soldiers to report the situation to General Matthew through the transmitter in the car.

Soon, the armored train consisting of 1 locomotive, 1 armored car with a swing turret and 7 ordinary cars was restarted, and the hearts of the 358 vanguard soldiers, including Wagner, almost rose to their throats. As the wheels rolled, more and more blue-gray figures appeared in their sight, and they soon found that the soldiers here were all fully armed, and there were far more soldiers around the platform than themselves!

Uneasy speculation was surging in Wagner's mind, and the chances of fooling the opposing commander in such a situation were slim to none, and there was little hope of forcibly taking control of the platform.

Guided by the other side, the armored train stopped again, this time in the center of the platform, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. Each of these soldiers was armed with rifles, and the muzzles of their guns were slightly tilted upwards in a quasi-combat stance.

"No one is allowed to act rashly without my orders!"

Wagner admonished that before getting out of the car, he straightened his collar, and even if it was a battle with no chance of winning, he had no room to retreat. The soldiers in the back carriage of the train clenched their weapons one by one, and behind the soldiers on either side of the train, a group of soldiers wearing navy flat caps, broad military uniforms, and Mauser rifles on their backs were marching slowly and orderly along the platform, seemingly aiming at the trains that were parked in the station.

For many of the soldiers on the train, it was the first time they had seen so many naval officers and sailors, and it was the navy that had come ashore.

Wagner looked at everything around him, and judging from the military uniforms and logos, he was puzzled by the sight of officers and men on ordinary warships in addition to the soldiers of the coastal guard. Except for the soldiers with guns guarding around the train, the other soldiers in the station just looked at this side curiously, and did not act unkindly.

Just as the poor lieutenant colonel was dizzy with questions in his head, several naval officers approached them from not far away, and the leader looked quite temperamental, not very old, and not low in rank.

After exchanging military salutes, the naval officer took the lead in speaking: "I am Major Baier of the Stettin Coastal Garrison, we have taken over this station, and I hope you will cooperate with our inspection!" Now, please declare your rank and number! ”

"Navy ......" Wagner never thought that he would meet naval forces here, let alone what identity he should show now. As a middle-ranking officer, he naturally wouldn't know about Chentian's cooperation with the Admiralty, and in fact, even General Matthew didn't know much about it.

"Your rank, number?" Seeing that Wagner was in a fluted state, the Lieutenant Commander repeated it again.

"I'm sorry, but we're an army unit, so there's no need to accept a navy force here!" It took Wagner a long time to remember this very important thing.

The Lieutenant Admiral seemed to have encountered this question more than once, and he replied without thinking, "I have already said that this place is now taken over by us!" According to the orders of the superiors, we have to inspect every train that passes through here, and if there is any non-cooperation, we have the right to enforce it! ”

"Okay!" Looking at the superior number of naval soldiers around him, Wagner took out his ID from his pocket, "Wolfgang. Feng. Wagner, a lieutenant colonel in the army, is part of the Special Operations Force directly under the War Department! ”

The Navy Lieutenant took the card, looked at the photo on it, and glanced at Wagner again.

"We are on a secret mission, we can't tell you the details, please let me go immediately!" Wagner said with his chest straightened and his eyes looking straight ahead.

The Lieutenant Commander didn't seem to be impressed by this, he handed the document back to Wagner, and then walked behind him with his hands behind his back, "Secret mission? ”

"Yes!" Wagner did not look back.

"I'm sorry, but no train is allowed to pass through this station without an order from the Admiralty right now, and I'm afraid you and your people will have to wait here!" The Major glanced at the train, the doors of the back carriages were closed, the firing holes of the armoured compartments were closed, and the swing turret above had a short-barreled 37mm gun.

"We must feel the predetermined place at the predetermined time, and the order given to us by the superior is to stop it at all costs!" Wagner turned around and said without giving in.

The Lieutenant Commander still had his hands behind his back, and he didn't mean to use the pistol at his waist, but his soldiers rattled the bolt of the gun, and the other Navy soldiers on the platform turned their eyes to this side. Both sides knew that a single armored car alone could not compete with the thousands of soldiers here, although the naval forces would suffer a lot of casualties, and Wagner and his soldiers would not gain the slightest advantage.

The Major and Wagner looked at each other for a few seconds, neither of them finding any flaws in each other's eyes.

"In that case, I need to report to my superiors, you guys wait here!"

After whispering a few words to the officer next to him, the major turned and left.

Wagner could only watch the other party's departing figure, at this time, any forced departure would be fatal, and he and his soldiers could only wait helplessly.

"Well, I lost this game!" Chen Tian shook his head helplessly, although his chess game was not bad, but Jiang was old and spicy after all, and Tirpitz looked so flawless in every move.

Tirpitz showed a rare smile, "Hehe, Your Highness is just a pity!" When I was still serving on the ship, playing chess was one of the few pleasures, and I had to play more than a dozen games every day! ”

"No, no, no, I'm convinced to lose this game!" Chen Tian knew very well in his heart that the veteran in front of him was not only good at chess, his warship design concept made the German Navy climb to the highest peak in history, this is not an ordinary person can do, his keen eyes and foresight of the future have amazed future generations, the chessboard is just a small stage for him to play this ability.

"This time......" Tirpitz looked up at the clock, "Stettin's troops should have already left!" ”

"Well, the troops from East Prussia should almost get there!" Chen Tian turned his gaze to the window, and it was the darkest time. Then he called his staff officer, "Send a telegram to General Ollie, and tell them to start the second step!" ”

"Your Highness, do you want another game?" Tirpitz was already rearranging the chess pieces when he spoke, and Chen Tian naturally would not refuse.

Before taking the next step, Chen Tian asked, "Do you think the Praetorian Guard dares to cross the region to reinforce other troops?" ”

"Well...... Tirpitz picked up a creep, "they have to play by their own rules!" ”

Berlin, Zietten Barracks.

The previous hustle and bustle has drifted away with the wind, and the barracks at this time have returned to their former calm, and the Duke of Württemberg's headquarters in the southwest corner of the barracks has all been disarmed, except for some soldiers left to guard these people, the troops of Bülo, Rupresit and Ollie are all concentrated in the large square in the center of the barracks, and more than 30,000 people stand silently on the empty flat ground, the scene is spectacular and solemn.

After consultations, the three commanders agreed that the three forces would form a joint operation force, with Ruprecht and Bilow as the deputy commanders, and Oli as the commander of the operation, with a clear purpose: to first control the palace and the cabinet government after entering the city of Berlin, and then to control the whole of Berlin after the arrival of reinforcements, until the cabinet and parliament determine the new emperor according to the legal procedure.

"Officers, soldiers!" Ruppresit stood on the high reviewing stand and lectured the officers and soldiers in his magnetic voice.

"I think most of you are still confused and confused by what happened tonight! The assassination of His Majesty the Emperor, this hatred will not be forgotten, but now there are people who are taking advantage of the emperor's recent death to try to seize power and want to take away Ji'an Luji. His Royal Highness William's legal inheritance, we can't agree! ”

If there were French soldiers or British soldiers standing at the bottom of the field, there must have been an uproar at this time, but the German soldiers were still strictly disciplined at this moment and did not say a word, they kept the **** words in their hearts, and anger began to pour into their hearts.

"The conspirators are trying to make a man who has become an idiot our emperor, and we must defend justice and defend the interests of the country with our weapons and lives! Now that part of the army controlled by the conspirators has been disarmed by us, we are going to enter Berlin, we are going to find out the conspirators in the palace and the cabinet, and let the hero who has the rightful inheritance, who led the army to defeat Russia, sweep France, and land in England, ascend to the throne! ”

Buoyed by Rupresit's sensationalism, the morale of the troops quickly soared, and everyone saw themselves as part of the Division of Justice. As the order to set off was given, the soldiers began to march towards the city of Berlin one by one with their heads held high.

Every two minutes, Lieutenant Commander Wagner glanced at the bell tower at Stettin Station, and as time went on, he and his troops had been at the inexplicable station for a full hour, and shortly after the major had left, General Matthew called back and asked Wagner's headquarters to stay on standby. In the meantime, nearly six or seven trains full of naval officers and sailors had left the station, and Wagner didn't know where they were going, but he knew that if this continued, the plan of Matthew's regiment to arrive in Berlin before dawn would be ruined.

It is only a little over 100 kilometers from Stettin to Berlin, which is also the closest port to Berlin.

As Wagner cursed the previous naval lieutenant angrily, the whistle of a train was heard to the east of the station, and after a while, a train slowly pulled into the platform, and Wagner quickly recognized that it was a train from the Matthew Corps.

Wagner stood on the platform, somewhat bewildered, watching Matthew get off the train from afar, and then began to talk to the two naval officers who had come out of the station. A short time later, Matthew reboarded his train, and the two officers turned away.

After about three minutes, the previous lieutenant appeared and, after saluting, he faintly said "sorry" to Wagner, and then ordered the siege of the train to be lifted. All this made Wagner stunned, and he did not understand what was going on here.

"Lieutenant Colonel, take your men and continue on the road, there is no need to stop at the platform in front of us like before, the naval forces will clear the roadblocks for us!" The staff officer who walked from Matthew's train woke Wagner from his confused thoughts, and there were indeed too many incredible things that happened that night.

"Yes!" Despite the growing question marks in his head, Wagner faithfully carried out his orders.

"And this!" The staff officer handed over a piece of paper, "Read it to each of your soldiers in the car in a moment!" ”

With the answer to the mystery solved, Wagner and his troops are back on the road, and whether the naval forces will use the same method to occupy the station ahead, or adopt a more violent approach, is not something he needs to consider.

Berlin railway station, officer's room on duty.

"What's going on? E171, E234, E239, E310, E359, B651, B787, B912, P159, P561 are all late, this is a situation that has never happened before! "After carefully checking the estimated and arrival times of the trains, one of the officers on duty found that several trains from the direction of East Prussia had not arrived on time, which was unbelievable to the traditionally strict Germans, who could even set a time for a certain train to pass through a certain bridge in wartime, and reported to their superiors at nearby stations if the railway line broke down.

"I'll see!" Another older officer took the statistical form, and after checking it with the pit stop data in his hand, he found that none of the wagons and military trains had arrived, and the longest delay was actually four hours longer than the scheduled time!

"I'll call the Schwed, Stettin, Elpin and Königsberg stations to see if they have any news of these trips!" The officer on duty before said and picked up the phone on the wall.

When the telephone rang, the Königsberg and Elpin stations were tightly controlled by the soldiers of the East Prussian cluster, and no one paid attention to the telephone in the duty room; The platforms at the Stettin and Schwaiter stations were filled with naval soldiers with guns, and the officer's room on duty was in shambles, except for the lonely ringing of the telephone.

None of the calls went through, and the officers on duty at the Berlin station were so upset that they immediately reported the situation to their superiors. By the time the Army Staff in Falkenhain received this report, the clock had already struck four times.
