Chapter 107: The Collapsed Empire (9)

Fortunately, the flu has not yet reached most cities in Germany, otherwise it would have been stirred up by the Spartak League, and I don't know what kind of tragedy it would cause.

Even without the pandemic, the Starbuck League-led uprising brought the Second German Reich to a standstill in an instant. Almost seventy percent of the cities were followed by demonstrations and then rioters storming telegraph offices and government buildings, with police in some cities stopping them and police in many more.

The army behaved very strangely in this national turmoil, with more than half of the garrisons taking a wait-and-see attitude, less than 20 percent engaged in repression, and the remaining 30 percent joining the side of the uprisers.

In addition, it must be made clear that most of the people who joined the side of the uprisers were mainly seamen, because the cause of the turmoil was said by the uprisers to be because of the Wilhelmshaven mutiny, and alarmistly told the seamen's group that the military would liquidate any navy soldiers.

It's alarmist, but it's effective a lot of the time. The group that is alarmist will not be just the Socialists, Berlin, the heart of Germany, where many more people say enough to make the emperor who has ruled Germany for more than 30 years tremble when confronted with inquiries from Kaiser Wilhelm II.

Kaiser Wilhelm II was trembling half because he was angry and half because he was afraid. He asked his prime minister if the situation could be reversed. Feng. The answer given by Baden is difficult. He then asked the assembled marshals and generals if they could bring the troops back from the front to suppress the rebellion in the country, and the marshals and generals replied no.

Despite the flu raging, the German army and the Entente side were still in a high level of confrontation, and the military bosses told Kaiser Wilhelm II that once the troops were withdrawn from the front, the situation would not be better than the Socialists at home who were making trouble.

What happened in Berlin is not something that Litchie can now know, and he is doing his best to put the beautiful city of Lübeck back to peace.

When the first troops entered the city, the uprisers tried to encourage the soldiers to take their side. The insurgents, who had failed to agitate, retreated, hiding in the crowd or capturing some buildings.

Escort Andreas. Fane. Felix's troops heading to the city hall exchanged fire with the uprisers, followed by sporadic firefights throughout the city.

The second group of troops entered the city with more than just riflemen, and a series of heavy firepower was also brought into the city, and they further dispersed the crowd and then surrounded the buildings occupied by the leaders of the rioters.

Richie entered the city when the troops occupied the city's radio building, and it was close to evening.

This old city was devastated in less than an afternoon, and the streets were littered with littered slogans and strange flags.

If the chaos on the streets is only human garbage, it is definitely minor, there are smashed glass, broken doors and windows everywhere, some things looted from houses and shops are also thrown everywhere, and even some corpses can be seen lying everywhere without anyone to clean up.

"Look, that's what they're doing!" Lübeck's police chief, Diem. Faulsey pursed his lips: "It's just an afternoon!" It's only one afternoon! What the hell did they do!? ”

The paint on some of the walls with slogans had not yet dried, and most of them were slogans such as "New Life", "Obedience to the Socialists is the only way to live a good life", "Overthrow the Order~Class~ regime, unite the citizens of Lübeck", and so on.

When Li Qi and the others entered the city, the streets were under martial law, and some citizens could not go out into the streets, but it did not prevent them from standing in front of their homes or from the windows of the upper floors to watch.

A crowd of people who looked a lot like army legions entered the city, and the townspeople cheered first a few people, and then many more. Their cheers were only as the officers ordered the troops to enter the city, quelling the chaos and devastation caused by the mob as they came closer.

When he went to the Broadcasting Building to give a speech, Li Qi said in a strong tone that he would ensure the stability of the city and would not show any mercy to all saboteurs.

“…… Cowards and traitors! We are fighting bloody battles on the front, and it is not you saboteurs and thugs who have been instigated by foreign forces! ”

"I can't see what you've all done in an afternoon! You're robbing people's houses! You are shooting citizens indiscriminately! You have even raped women in civilized societies! ”

Yes, there really was rape, and more than one. According to the victims' descriptions, most of the rapists spoke Russian and had distinct Slavic features.

"A bunch of thugs and cowardly scum!" Adolph. Hitler's face was flushed with rage, and he roared: "Shoot, sir, they must all be arrested and shot!" ”

As many as 27 women were violated, many of whom had their husbands killed. For them, today is like living in hell!

"Slavs!" William. Cole was trembling all over, and he was definitely angry: "Sir, I ask to lead the team to attack the building where the thugs are entrenched. ”

Li Qi looked at the people present, almost all the soldiers were pale, but the government clerks of Lübeck City seemed calmer.

At this time, someone came to report that there were Socialists who had asked for a conversation with the commander of the army.

A man in his mid-thirties, with a Scandinavian appearance, was the person who came to talk. He was accompanied by seven other men, two of whom looked like Slavs.

When the Nordic man arrived, he told Richie that the revolution could no longer be stopped, and that anyone who stopped the torrent of revolution would be crushed and would become the sinners of history.

"More than ninety percent of the cities in the country have chosen to revolutionize with us, and we will stand on the side of the masses, work with the people to overthrow the tyranny~ government, and build a paradise on earth together!"

Kaiser Wilhelm II was fond of cannons, but it would be too much to say that Wilhelm II was a tyrant.

In fact, Germany under the rule of the Hohenzollern family cannot be called tyranny~, it was this family that allowed the chaotic Germany to be unified, and united many kingdoms, city-states, and free cities in a relatively peaceful way, ending the long-term mutual harm of the Germans.

Then, during the reign of the Hohenzollerns, Germany developed into the world's second largest industrial power over the decades.

"Excuse me, are you German?"

"Huh? I'm telling you about the historical trend of the revolution and about the sacredness and greatness of the revolution! ”

"Are you German?"

"I ...... Not but ......"

"Good!"

Leach directly had all those people imprisoned, not the Germans, who would be hanged for espionage after trial, and the Germans would be imprisoned or shot according to what they had done.
