The German Revolution showed great organization and control in this revolution, and on the one hand, they were able to defeat the states in the all-out uprising in the western part of Germany, and at the same time Marnes ordered the revolutionaries to strictly block the news of the revolution and control the flow of people. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This also enabled the revolutionary army to completely stabilize its position in West Germany before the other powers reacted.

On the second day of the Revolutionary Night, the former colonel officer of the German Corps, Kravasini, led the revolutionary army of more than 3,000 people to capture the Duchy of Oldenburg in the north of Bremen. It was also inferior to the revolutionary army in firepower, and the battle lasted less than an hour before ending in the complete collapse of the Oldenburg army.

On the third day after the night of the Revolution, General Blucher, who had been appointed commander-in-chief of the German armed forces, led the main force of the revolutionary army to destroy the forces of the Duke of Braunschweig and successfully occupied Braunschweig; Two days later, his deputy, Julius, gathered the revolutionary masses and the forces of the revolutionary armed forces to capture Kassel, forcing the panicked Count of Hesse-Kassel to flee in panic.

By this point in time, the revolution had been going on for a week, and the news was basically too much to control. The revolutionary forces led by the National Revolution have completely caused a sensation in the whole of Germany and even the whole of Europe, and dozens of nobles and even dukes with territories and states have been defeated and fled, or even directly captured.

What terrified the lords even more. This revolution was carried out with the broad participation of the people. The originally docile populace was instigated by these revolutionaries. Turned into a terrible flood beast. The strength of the revolutionary army was growing at an astonishing rate, and there was a rush to join the German revolutionary armed forces, excluding the international columns, and within a week the revolutionary armed forces attached to the nascent German Republic had grown to more than 30,000 men. Of course, most of these forces are scattered and not particularly precise, but what is even more terrifying is that it is still expanding in size.

Another thing that made the feudal lords panic was. The weapons of this revolutionary armed force were more advanced than the weapons of the army that defended them. The Oldenburg and Hesse-Kassel armies collapsed on the battlefield in the face of a hail of bullets. Although these feudal armies were equipped with new weapons to a certain extent, they had never seen a war in which new weapons were involved, and the revolutionary armed forces showed amazing fighting spirit and courage in the battle, and they fought and rushed fiercely regardless of themselves, completely stunning the feudal army that had never fought such a war at all.

The aristocratic armies had never come into contact with such an opponent, nor did they understand what kind of idealistic and fearless army they were, and the rhythm of the whole battle was completely unfamiliar to them, often before they had yet to stand up, the opponent came in waves like a tide, and after one or two charges, they were completely defeated.

Even some armies have more advanced weapons such as machine guns and artillery. But the revolutionary forces will soon fall into more machine guns and artillery, and the feudal army cannot understand why the revolutionary army is only a few hundred to a thousand people. But they can have more than ten or twenty artillery pieces to provide them with fire support.

In any case, the German revolutionary armed forces completely destroyed the small states of West Germany with a devastating rhythm, established revolutionary power, and further developed the revolutionary masses and expanded their forces.

Berlin, king of the Kingdom of Prussia, a monarch Frederick who ruled in a very different style from his predecessor, Frederick II? Wilhelm II also received news of the German Revolution.

When the king ascended the throne, he lightened the burden on the people, reformed the heavy French-style taxation system, encouraged trade by reducing the payment of customs duties, built roads and canals, and reformed education. These actions made him quite popular with the people. However, he was negative and resistant to the new Enlightenment ideas (including the new ideas of the Tang Dynasty), and his personality was completely opposite to Frederick the Great in his later years, he believed in piety, lust, kindness, emotional impulsiveness, aggressiveness, and ambition. As soon as he came to power, he broke with the cautious foreign policy of his predecessors (Frederick the Great, after the Seven Years' War, swore that "I will not attack even a cat again.") ), to promote bold and frivolous power diplomacy.

When he first ascended the throne, he intervened in the revolt of the United Provincial Republics against the ruling Wilhelm V, with the support of Great Britain, and succeeded, after which Prussia participated in the Russo-Austrian war against Turkey and won the war, but did not gain territory, after which Prussia abandoned the anti-Austrian tradition since Frederick II and sought some degree of cooperation with Austria.

The Prussian king was furious when he learned that the German Revolution had led a republican revolution that sought to overthrow the monarchy.

"It cannot be tolerated, this rebellion must be stopped! Otherwise, Prussia will also be affected, and this group of scum who do not pretend to be God in their hearts, and whose heads are full of dangerous thoughts, should be sent to the gallows. "Frederick? Wilhelm II was emotionally impulsive, and in his opinion the revolt was an act of absolute condemnation, lack of conscience and morality.

Field Marshal of Prussia, Karl of the Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg? William? Ferdinand seemed more sensible than the king, even though his fief had just been lost, and he said: "Your Majesty, before this rebellion, no one had seriously seen the so-called German National Revolution, and even many nobles did not know the name of this party, they were only circulated among the lower classes, but in this rebellion, the power of the German National Revolution was extremely terrifying. My subordinates, who had fled from Braunschweig, informed me that their army, with its well-organized organization, was not inferior to that of the Prussian army, and that it was supported by a considerable number of rebels, and that the combination of the inside and the outside gave our army great difficulties in combat. And there is also the trouble here, these rebels have weapons that are superior to many regular armies, and these weapons obviously cannot be made by themselves. ”

Frederick? Wilhelm II was not stupid, and said: "I heard that the party that governs the Tang Republic in the Americas is called the National Revolutionary Party, right, so this German National Revolution is also supported by the Tang people?" (To be continued.) )
