"What? The Imperial German Air Force blew up the fortresses of its own country? ”

Early the next morning, newspapers from various countries reported on the attack on the Monrovia fortress by their own bombers on their front pages, which instantly caused a sensation all over the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, the German Reich's own newspapers were gag-hailed and tightly sealed from reporting on the matter.

However, paper could not hold the fire, and not all newspapers in the German Empire bought the accounts of the German Imperial Government. For example, newspapers with other national backgrounds don't care about the official attitude and report in the spirit of the facts.

In addition, the German Empire was full of wars, and the opposition-controlled cities of Munich and Budapest truthfully reported that Monrovia was bombed by the German army.

The news soon spread throughout Germany, causing an instant uproar among all the German people.

You must know that Monrovia, as a colony of the German Empire, is inextricably linked to the mainland. A large number of German immigrants and soldiers lived there, and their life and death were related to the relatives in the German Empire, and the economic status of Monrovia, especially gold, was related to the interests of many nobles in Germany itself.

Yesterday's daytime German firing on the Chinese Imperial Army had already led the Chinese Empire to issue an ultimatum that was about to detonate the Sino-German war, which had already terrified the German people, and as a result, Monrovia, the biggest oolong incident of the century, occurred that night.

The two events happened on the same day, which was unacceptable to the German people for a while, and large-scale demonstrations broke out one after another.

The government of the German Reich was instantly pushed to the forefront, and was subjected to tremendous political and military pressure from both inside and outside the country.

The threat of war in the Chinese Empire had already overwhelmed the German Imperial Government, and it was thought that last night's military action would save the tide of the war and boost the morale of the German Imperial army and civilians, but it backfired and caused the Great Oolong Incident, which made the situation of the German Imperial Government even worse.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, can only announce to the Chinese Empire and the whole world that yesterday's incident was that the German army in Monrovia, led by Schrifen, did not obey the orders of the Kaiser and opened fire privately to provoke a Sino-German war. Last night's air raid was an air raid on Monrovia ordered by His Majesty to punish General Schrifeng for his disobedience. ”

When Prince Baden said this, the entire German Imperial high-level personnel were stunned, of course, this does not include Hitler, he is an insider, and he has long known that Prince Baden will kick Schrie away at a critical moment, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"What are you talking about? How can we betray General Schrien, who went to Monrovia in person for the sake of the Empire, and slander him for treason? How can you, as the Prime Minister of the Empire, be so shameless? ”

The young Wilhelm III was outraged, he had too little political experience and lacked the mental preparation for this.

Prince Baden did not blame for the insult of the third, and still had a calm expression.

"Your Majesty, the question now is to prepare for the worst. The lesser of two evils, compared with the huge hidden danger of the German Air Force's oolong incident, it is better to let the German army in Monrovia disobey the order, and let Schrie share the blame, because the latter has the lowest negative impact, and at the same time can block both the ultimatum of the Chinese Empire and the abuse and accusations of the people of the Empire. ”

Wilhelm III said angrily: "I don't know what the lesser of two evils is, I don't allow you to do that, I can't frame General Schriefen, he is the greatest hero of the empire, and like Bismarck, he needs to be respected." ”

"If you don't understand, then I'll tell you until you understand! Your Majesty, now is not the time to play with the temper of a child, to worry about external troubles and internal troubles, if you do not want the German Empire to perish. ”

Prince Baden said unceremoniously, majestic, vaguely overriding William III.

It is no wonder that Wilhelm III was too young and had no foundation, and the only royalist Schrie was far away in Africa, and now in Berlin, Prince Baden has already set aside the power of the Kaiser.

Therefore, Prince Baden dared to directly reprimand the Kaiser, after all, he still had an identity, that is, the auxiliary minister appointed to him by Wilhelm II.

Little brat, fight with the old man, you are still too tender!

Prince Baden's face was full of expressions of inadequacy, and William III was so angry that he trembled.

Eventually, William III sighed, like a child who can't fight his parents, and went back to his room in a rage.

Then, the German Reich officials responded quickly, characterizing all German troops in Schliefen and Monrovia as disobeying the Kaiser's orders and punishing them with treason.

Then he told the Chinese Empire that yesterday the German army in Monrovia first attacked the warships of the Chinese Imperial Navy, causing a fierce battle between the two sides, and that Schliefen was the sole proprietor and had nothing to do with the German Imperial Government, and that the German Imperial Government had determined that Schliefen had brought the German troops in German Southwest Africa to rebel together with the local people, and would no longer accept the leadership of the central government of the German Empire, and what they did did did not represent the German Imperial Government.

At the same time, Goering, commander of the German Imperial Air Force, came forward and said that last night's air raid was not an oolong bombing, but was ordered to suppress the rebellious Schliefen and the German troops in the Monrovia fortress, and told the Chinese Empire that this matter had nothing to do with the German Imperial military and was completely Schriefen's personal behavior.

So, when the German Empire made this statement, the whole world fell silent again, and everyone was stunned.

For such a statement of the German Empire, Tang Shaoyi, the minister of the Chinese Empire, fell into a state of speechlessness, it is really shameless, this kind of thing that makes Schrifen and the German army in Monrovia carry the black pot, and the Oolong bombing incident is said to be the suppression of rebellion and the expression of innocence to the Chinese Empire, this Nima is simply too shameless, Tang Shaoyi said that he was willing to bow down.

And the people of the German Empire were also stunned in an instant, originally they wanted to ask the German Imperial Government for an explanation and a huge amount of compensation, but things turned a big reversal, and the Oolong incident turned into a rebellion, so that the German Imperial Air Force air raid on Monrovia was not wrong, but the German army in Monrovia did not obey the order and was tantamount to rebellion, and it was in vain to die, and their relatives in the country were not bad, and they wanted to ask for a huge amount of compensation, dream!

The common people of the German Empire were frightened, and they all stopped playing tricks at the door of the government and quickly slipped home. The righteous young people who protested against the German government no longer cried out for the victims in Monrovia, and went back to class when they should have gone to class, and went back to work when they should have gone to work. The nobles who had interests in Monrovia were also honest, and they did not dare to ask for the lost money, and if they were charged with collaborating with the enemy and rebellion, they would be confiscated.

In the blink of an eye, the domestic environment of the German Empire was stabilized.

At the same time, the ultimatum given by the Chinese Empire to the German Empire suddenly became irrelevant to the German Empire.

The Foreign Minister of the German Empire informed the Chinese Imperial Government that it was okay to attack German Southwest Africa at will, because the German troops there had betrayed the Kaiser, and their actions had nothing to do with the German Imperial Government, and your Chinese Empire could no longer use this excuse to bully the German Empire.

At the same time, the German Reich also expressed its innocence to the United Nations and asked for the sympathy of the international community.

Looking at the entire international community, all countries in the world do not want a full-scale war between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire, because once the war starts, one of them will inevitably be completely defeated, so no matter who wins, the final victorious side will undoubtedly become the only superpower in the world, and no country can compete with it, and even the entire earth will face great unification.

All countries in the world do not want great unification, so whether they are countries in the Chinese imperial camp or countries in the German imperial camp, they all hope that China and Germany will continue to confront each other forever, and only in this way can the process of global unification be stopped.

This is just like the United States and the Soviet Union competing for hegemony, why European and American countries secretly work so hard to help China, is to hope that even if the Soviet Union falls, China can provoke the main beam against the United States, otherwise only the United States will be left alone, then the world will either be harmed by the United States, or face unification.

Now it is like this, the countries of the world do not want a full-scale war between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire. Originally, the Chinese Empire had enough excuses to start a war against Germany, and all countries did not dare to take the risk of persuasion, but the German Empire suddenly came up with a reasonable explanation, so all countries also had an excuse to come forward to persuade them.

In response to this situation, the Chinese Empire did not intend to further persecute the German Empire, but gave face to the countries and allowed them to form mediation committees to intervene in the political negotiations between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire.

The main reason why the Chinese Empire did not further emphasize the ultimatum and force the German Empire to make concessions was that it was afraid that the German Empire would jump over the wall in a hurry.

After all, last night's air raid on Monrovia caused a catastrophe, and although the victims were the Germans themselves, it sounded the alarm for the Chinese Empire.

The unfound group of German Imperial bombers was like a sword hanging over the Chinese Empire's Roberts Harbor, ready to fall again at any moment.

Because of this, the Imperial Chinese Imperial Court did not further oppress the German Empire in consideration of the pressure of the Imperial military and the current situation in Roberts Port, in order to hope that the German Empire would suspend air raids and avoid a major air attack and mass casualties on the defenders of the Chinese Empire in Roberts Port.

Taking into account the pleas of Britain, the United States, Russia, Turkey, Gambia, and other countries, the Chinese Empire dignified the ultimatum and turned to negotiations with the German Empire, expressing its willingness to peacefully resolve the Monrovia incident between the Chinese and German armies under the joint mediation of various countries.

In fact, the Chinese Empire was merely taking this opportunity to buy time for the military to find a secret German air base.

Similarly, the German Imperial government felt the need to give Schrie enough time to get him back to defending the fortress of Monrovia.

China and Germany began to negotiate in Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire, and fought with each other.

At the same time, at the official residence of the Prime Minister in Berlin, Hitler was very dissatisfied and came to Prince Baden for a theory.

"Prime Minister, please don't be deceived by the Chinese Empire, they are not sincere in negotiating with us at all, they are just stalling for time."

Hitler expressed his judgment straight to the point.

Prince Baden smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, Hitler. How could I not know that this was the Chinese Empire stalling for time? They've been using this tactic for decades, and I'm certainly very aware of that. ”

Then Prince Baden changed his words and said: "However, the Chinese Empire wants to stall for time, and we are not stalling for time. ”

Hitler objected: "Why should we stall? It is now clear that we have the upper hand, although we mistakenly bombed Monrovia last night, for which I apologize. But we bombed the wrong one last night, and we won't make the same mistake tonight, and I will order the air force in North Africa to take off again, and tonight we will raze Roberts Harbor to the ground to avenge the Imperial soldiers who died in vain yesterday. ”

"No, no, no! You must not do that! ”

Prince Baden jumped down and hurriedly stopped: "If it was yesterday, I wouldn't have stopped you from doing this." But today is different, the Chinese Empire has withdrawn the ultimatum, which means that they will not go to war with us in a full-scale way. If you attack Roberts Port again tonight, then the Chinese Empire has an excuse to start a full-scale war with us, you know, we are not ready for a full-scale war with the Chinese Empire, we need time to prepare, and negotiation is the best way to delay time. ”

Hitler shook his head, he knew very well what the Chinese Empire really thought, and said: "Your Excellency, please trust my judgment, even if we attack Roberts Harbor, the Chinese Empire will not go to war with us, they will only fight a local war with us in German Southwest Africa." ”

Hitler knew the strategic idea for the future of the Chinese Empire, but the problem was that Prince Baden did not know! He didn't dare to gamble on everything, what if he lost?

For Prince Baden, he hoped to negotiate with the Chinese Empire steadily, and it would certainly not be possible to negotiate in a few months, and during this period, the German army would strengthen the deployment of troops in Southwest Africa, even if it was necessary to abandon Schriefen in the end, it would also squeeze out the last bit of value of Schriefen, drag the Chinese Empire on the German colonies in southwest Africa, and buy time for the German Empire to prepare for the German Empire itself.

Hitler was so anxious that he wanted to convince Prince Baden, but unfortunately he couldn't tell him clearly.

"If I'm not mistaken, the negotiations of the Chinese Empire are just a cover, they will use this time to quickly strengthen the air defense of Roberts Port, they will even look for the air base where our bombers are located at any cost, and once they find it, they will not hesitate to stop the negotiations."

Prince Baden frowned slightly, this possibility is not impossible, so he smiled: "I believe in your ability Hitler, you will definitely hide our bombers until the moment when the real war begins." ”

Hitler wanted to kick him to death, but unfortunately he didn't have enough strength to bring down Prince Baden now.

However, Hitler did not suffer, he had already seen Prince Baden's ambition to seize the throne, and also saw that the contradiction between Prince Baden and Wilhelm III had deepened, so in the next time, Hitler would step up his pace to curry favor with Wilhelm III and be the last beneficiary of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.
