One thousand fifty-two. The final blow
An unconfirmed gossip is quietly circulating among French officers and soldiers.
As a result of the mutiny of the 102nd Panzer Commando Regiment in support of the rebels, the Cathari government has lost all trust in the 51st and 51st Panzer Corps, and is preparing to arrest and kill all officers.
This shocked the two armored corps.
The vast majority of their officers had already known the choice of the supreme commander, that is, to choose to be on the side of the revolution, but what they did not expect was that the government would make such a ruthless determination at this moment.
However, for the time being, this is just a rumor and has not been further confirmed.
But at 10 o'clock in the evening, all the officers of the 51st and 52nd Panzer Corps above the rank of lieutenant colonel were urgently summoned to his headquarters by General Robertson.
General Robertson was silent for a moment, and then spoke slowly:
"A very powerful friend of mine in the government spoke to me on the phone before my half-brother, and he told me very terrible news, officers, that the situation had become very serious as a result of the mutiny of the 102nd Panzer Commando Regiment. President Katri and Prime Minister Zinag have completely lost faith in us, and in order to avoid a further deterioration of the situation, they have issued a very terrible order, demanding that the secret police immediately arrest all our officers of the rank of lieutenant colonel and shoot them without any trial! ”
With a "boom", the entire officer corps exploded.
The rumors were completely confirmed at this moment. What could be more terrifying?
The officers looked at each other, completely unsure of what they should do at this time. Now, their only recourse is probably General Robertson.
"There aren't a lot of choices we can make......," General Robertson said calmly, "but to be honest, I don't know what to do...... So. Today I have a very special guest to tell us where we are going and what is the right path for us......"
The officers had no idea what kind of guest General Robertson had invited......
A young man appeared, but General Robertson's expression looked as if he had special respect for him......
The young gaze slowly swept over the French officers, and then said in a slow and calm tone: "I am German Field Marshal Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Brahm! ”
Once again, the officers exploded...... My God. They didn't expect Baron Alexon to appear in front of them......
Wang Weiyi didn't seem to notice the expressions of these French officers at all: "I know that many of you want to kill me, and the gun is in your hands, you can draw your gun and shoot at me right now!" ”
Then he didn't say anything, just looked at the French officers quietly...... A few minutes. It was so quiet......
"Then I think my life is safe for the time being......" Wang Weiyi smiled: "Fate is in your hands." Some say the French Revolution broke out without warning, but it seemed to me inevitable. A government that disappoints its citizens can only be overthrown by all its citizens. This is not the first time in the history of France that such a thing has happened...... Officers, some of you may say that I am a German. I represent the interests of Germany. Of course, they will find ways to destroy France. But I would like to ask you, how many of you were trained in a military school in Germany? How many people have ever gone to a café on the streets of Paris to have a good afternoon with a German officer over afternoon tea......"
The baron's words shocked the hearts of these French officers to varying degrees...... Yes, just a few years ago France and Germany had such a close relationship, but in just a few years that all that has changed completely...... Almost every one of them had several friends with German servicemen...... Do you sometimes think about it, is such a war a bit ridiculous?
"There is absolutely no need for war between Germany and France...... Wang Weiyi re-said, "It is the most important thing to maintain the friendship between Germany and France, not to let the war between Germany and France bring them great benefits, as the United States hopes." Officers, the Germans have launched a powerful offensive on the French mainland. What I know for sure is that within fifteen days the Germans will be outside Paris. Once again, the Arc de Triomphe will pass by the troops of the Germans. This is probably your greatest shame for the soldiers...... Who is responsible for all this? It's not you. It was the Cathari government that deliberately undermined the Franco-German alliance...... Such a government is incompetent, and there is absolutely no need for such a government to continue to exist...... Even your own people are against your government......"
Wang Weiyi's tone began to strengthen: "I am very worried about you, with the support of the German army, the rebels will eventually seize power in the whole of France, so where will you go?" You can continue to support the government and then be severely punished by the new government after the victory of the revolution. Ah, I have almost forgotten that President Katri and Prime Minister Sinag have given the order to arrest and kill you...... So what makes me wonder is, what are you waiting for? Why don't you take up the weapons in your hands and support your compatriots who are about to bring true freedom and light to France......"
His words have seriously shaken the hearts of a large number of French officers...... Yes, it looks like this government has seriously lost the support of its citizens, and the whole of Paris and the whole of France are opposing it. And now even their own lives can no longer be guaranteed.
You have to think about it. You have to think about it for yourself. Survival or death are not particularly difficult to choose......
"I have already made contact with the leaders of the revolutionaries...... Wang Weiyi is now in control: "They promise that if you can support the revolution, they will not only not hold you accountable, but will regard them as the heroes of the revolution." Probably some of you think that what the revolutionaries are saying is not safe. Then I can also reveal to you that, when the revolution is successful, your beloved General Robito will be promoted to marshal by the revolutionary government and will be the first president of the nascent republic......"
Satisfied smiles suddenly appeared on the faces of these officers...... Yes, General Robito was their respected general, and although he did not achieve much outstanding feats on the battlefield, many of these French officers were once his subordinates. If General Robito can become president of the republic. Then they don't have to worry about any terrible situations at all......
"I personally maintained a very friendly personal relationship with General Robito during this time...... Wang Weiyi continued, "I can also assure you that the German government will fully support your position in France after the victory of the revolution." Please believe it. This is a baron's most solemn promise! ”
This is a baron's most solemn promise...... This is Baron Alexon's most solemn promise......
"What are you waiting for, my officers!" General Robertson suddenly raised his voice too highly: "Fight for France!" Long live the revolution! ”
"Fight for France, long live the revolution!" The officers erupted in earth-shattering cries.
August 2, 1966, under the planning of Baron Alexon. The 51st Panzer Corps and the 52nd Panzer Corps, the elite armies of the French army, declared a mutiny. It was 10:30 p.m. General Robertson announced that his armed forces would support the Paris Revolution and demanded that the Catharian government fall immediately and be tried by the National Assembly!
The news simply came as a huge shock to the Cathar government......
God, two elite armies have mutinied, and the Cathari government has very little armed force at its disposal.
The 1st National Guard Division was fighting the rioters, and the only thing they could use to defend themselves was the 28th Panzer Division. It is completely impossible to deal with two complete and elite armies with one armored division, even if Katri and Sinag do not know military affairs.
In such a critical situation, Sinag, who was already dispossessed, was forced to call the US ambassador Robin again, in which Sinag strongly demanded that the United States immediately intervene by force......
However, Ambassador Robin's attitude was very ambiguous. There was no refusal, but there was no promise either. In fact, Robin's attitude is also considered by the United States. Judging by the current situation. The revolution of the civilian population has extended to the military. Once the army is out of control, it is difficult to say whether there is a need for this government to continue to support it...... And more importantly, the United States simply cannot mobilize enough troops to interfere in France's internal affairs in a short period of time...... If the Cathari government falls before the arrival of the main force of the US military, then the US government will inevitably completely offend the new French government......
Driven by such a mentality, Robin must only adopt a wait-and-see attitude......
Subsequently, the French revolutionaries also got in touch with Ambassador Robin, and they solemnly told Robin that the revolution they were carrying out was only to oppose the Catharie government, which was entirely an internal affair of France, and that they would not do any harm to the American troops in France or the ordinary American expatriate, but this premise was that the United States promised not to send troops directly......
Well, that's exactly what Robin wants to see...... He once again sternly demanded that Colonel Wenger not allow any mistakes on the part of the American army, otherwise he would be severely punished!
The ambiguity of the Americans left Sinag at a loss, and President Cathar spoke with him on the phone almost every half hour to ask him how things were going. Although he was prevaricated by Sinager every time with "everything is under control", he knew that he could not hold out for much longer.
"You've been defeated again and again. Berkeley. When accusing the French police commissioner, there was little anger in Sinag's tone: "You have not been able to detect the riot, and you have not been able to arrest the officers I want you to arrest." You have made me feel a huge disappointment. ”
"Yes. Your Excellency, I am also very saddened by my mistakes, so I would like to express my apologies by resigning. Berkeley said calmly.
"No, resignation is just something that all cowards do......" Sinagher rejected Berkeley's resignation request in one gulp: "Now what I ask you to do is how to make up for your mistakes, have you figured it out, Berkeley?" ”
Berkeley shook his head.
Sinag sighed, "The situation is spiraling out of control, and I can't predict what the future holds. But what I know for sure is that the damn rioters won't let us go. Ah, and those damned Americans. Where did all those promises fly now...... Berkeley, you must now tell me honestly if you will be able to keep the principal officials of the government safe from Paris if the most terrible thing has happened......"
He finally said what he wanted to say the most...... Berkeley didn't answer immediately, but muttered there for a moment before saying, "I think." This is also one of my responsibilities. Your Excellency the Prime Minister. I can assure you that I will definitely bring the important people of the government out of Paris, but there is one thing that worries me very much......"
"Speak your mind, there's nothing left to hide now."
Berkeley then said: "The 102nd Armored Commando Regiment has defected, and the 51st and 52nd Armored Corps have also defected, and I don't know how many loyalists there are in the road. Maybe they'll be mad at you, like that. Even I can't make any promises......"
Sinag shuddered in fear...... Berkeley's fears were entirely warranted......
"So I personally have a suggestion......" Berkeley continued, observing the Prime Minister's expression, "I am prepared to select a group of the most loyal people from my side to enter the Elysée Palace to protect your safety. However, this can only be done with the personal approval of the Director of Security and you. ”
At this time, Sinag did not hesitate at all under the great fear: "I will personally call the head of security, and as for me, I can sign special documents for you now." ”
Berkeley's heart was completely relaxed...... This was the last step in the plot between him and the baron......
......
"Sinag has completely fallen into our trap." When confronted by Baron Alexon, Berkeley said, "Your Excellency. I think we can give them the last fatal blow. ”
"I'm after horror, and so is Sinag." Wang Weiyi was not too anxious: "The difference between us before is that terror will soon befall him." Berkeley, are you ready for victory? ”
"Yes, I'm ready."
"And what about you, Colonel Heisenberg?"
"The German soldiers are preparing every second." Colonel Heisenberg said firmly: "We are waiting for your order every second!" ”
"Let's get started, then!" Wang Weiyi stood up: "The storm is hovering over Paris, what we have to do is to let this storm completely destroy the city!" ”
Outside there was heavy gunfire, and it was the 51st and 52nd Panzer Corps in action. The whole of Paris was in action, from ordinary citizens to the soldiers who had defected.
The skies of Paris are shrouded in a layer of black, a storm that can change a country and an era.
No one can stop the times from changing now!
"It's not that simple to put kingship in a cage. There has never been a right to handouts, and the outcome of all negotiations depends on the balance of power on both sides. Understanders who are anxious to transform the world always pin their hopes on revolution, but destroying an unfair order does not mean that a fairer order can be established. When the revolution turned into a mob of hysteria in the streets, countless evils were carried out in the name of freedom. ”
Wang Weiyi suddenly remembered these words, which Robespierre once said:
"Uprising, in whose name? People? The National Convention was originally a representative body elected by the people, and it must not declare war on the people in the name of the people. King? A year and a half ago, he and the queen were guillotined, leaving only the last words: I hope that the blood I shed can become a coagulant to heal the wounds of the French nation. Oh, God? At the beginning of the revolution, the Church was the object of the revolution, and many clergy took off their robes to join the revolution while many more were sent back to God -—— through the guillotine! The edifice of utopia has collapsed, and the Republic of dreams has become a violent world dominated by gangsters! ”
The Republic of Dreams has become a rankless and violent world dominated by gangsters!
When Madame Roland, the leader of the Girondins, was guillotined, to the cheers of the crowd, she looked up at the Statue of Liberty in the square and exclaimed, "Liberty, liberty, how many sins in your name!" Testimonials.
The same thing is happening in France right now! (To be continued......)
