"You go to the General Staff immediately and let Moltke suppress the rebellion in Koblenz as soon as possible!"

After reading the telegram, the regent William gritted his teeth and gave the order to the Minister of War, Ron, at this time, his heart was already on the verge of rage, and he did not care about the follow-up problems that the repression might cause.

Standing on the sidelines, the Minister of War Ron was clearly not as dazed as the regent William, and Ron, who still kept a cool head, persuaded William I not to be too emotional, and the parade in Koblenz was not to the point of using the army to suppress it.

The rash use of the army to suppress the bombardment would only cause the Kingdom of Prussia to lose further popular support in the province of Laiinland.

"Ron, what do you think we should do now?" The Regent, William, was obviously not as intelligent as Ron, and out of fear of 1848, he yelled hysterically at Ron, "Shall we wait until that mob ignites the whole of Germany as it did in 1848, and then we flee Berlin in ashes as before?"

Wake up! Ron, the Russian Empire is now too busy to take care of itself!

No one will help us like they did before! ”

"Your Majesty, things haven't come to that yet!" Ron tried to persuade the regent William I to calm down, "This is only the activity of a small group of people, and most of the people who come to Inland still love the Kingdom of Prussia!" ”

"Love?" A grim smile appeared on the corner of the Regent's mouth, "A man from Inland loves a Prussian monarch, this is the funniest joke I have ever heard!" ”

"Your Majesty, it is true that we do have some differences with the Laiinlans, but in the big picture, we are all Germans!" Ron tried to persuade the regent Wilhelm with the idea of Germany, although Ron himself scoffed at the concept of Germany.

"Germans?" The regent, Wilhelm, raised his voice and retorted, "We and the Austrians are also Germans, and our relations are not good?" ”

When William the Regent gave the example of the Austrian Empire, Ron said no more.

"Those damn people who come to Inland are just a bunch of thugs after all!" William the Regent said to Ron, "Their destination should be the prison, not the street!"

Ron, I bet you! If we don't act now, the damned Layinlands will force us to make more concessions!

They will demand the reopening of both houses and thus replace my most loyal nobles!

When the time comes, our nobles will gradually lose their rights under their oppression...... They will also restrict all our military exploitation in the council, and you should know that the most hated thing by the Inlands is our army.

At that time, military reform will inevitably be stopped......"

The regent William babbled a lot, the core meaning of which was that the Inlands could not be allowed to strike.

After listening to William I's views, Ron disagreed with some of the Regent's views, but he still agreed with some of the Regent's remarks.

The march in Koblenz could indeed shake the dominance of the Junker aristocracy in the Kingdom of Prussia, and Ron, who was thinking in the interests of the Junker aristocracy (and before Ron was thinking from the German point of view), was also gradually inclined towards repression.

Ron was a native of Germany and a member of the Junker aristocracy.

When the interests of Germany conflicted with those of the Junker aristocracy, Ron had no choice but to abandon the interests of Germany in favor of the Junker aristocracy.

Although this is a bit cruel for the people who come to Inland, it is also a choice that has to be made.

Although Ron was inclined to sacrifice German interests for the sake of Juncker's interests, he still wanted to avoid repression as much as possible.

So Ron thought of someone who might be able to solve the problem, and he tentatively asked the regent William, "Your Majesty, why don't we ask Von. Ambassador Bismarck? Maybe he might have the best of both worlds! ”

"Feng. Bismarck? The regent William was stunned for a few seconds, and then spoke again: "I remember he wasn't sent to Austria as an ambassador?" ”

"That's right!" Ron nodded and responded to the regent William, "We can give von . Ambassador Bismarck, send a telegram asking for his opinion on this matter! ”

When the regent Wilhelm heard this, he was a little moved, but he thought of the 1848 von . Bismarck's behavior, shook his head and said, "Forget it!"

Send a telegram to Koblenz now, ordering the local garrison to put down the rebellion as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!" Ron obeyed the regent's orders and replied.

Afterwards, after leaving the palace, Ron went to the General Staff with the orders of the Regent, and in the building of the General Staff, he saw the old Moltke in military uniform.

Old Moltke was staring at the map on the table.

Ron walked in and saw a military map of Berlin and its surroundings on the table.

Wait a minute! Berlin!

Ron suddenly realized something, and he stared at Old Moltke with wide eyes and a look of shock.

General Moltke, wouldn't it be to ......

Just as Ron was thinking, the voice of old Moltke reached Ron's ears, "Minister Ron, what is the matter with you coming to the General Staff?" ”

Ron, who came to his senses, nodded and replied to old Moltke, "General Moltke, I'm here to convey the instructions of His Majesty the Regent!" ”

Old Moltke straightened up, with an expression ready to go for battle.

Ron cleared his throat and said to old Moltke, "General Moltke, Your Majesty orders you to immediately mobilize the garrison of Koblenz and impose martial law on the Koblenz region!" ”

Old Moltke, who heard the martial law imposed on Koblenz, showed a flash of loss on his face, and then asked Ron in a sonorous tone, "Did His Majesty the Regent say that martial law is to what extent?" ”

"Your Majesty didn't say it!" Ron shook his head and responded to Old Moltke, "The General Staff can deal with it according to the local situation!"

If you can avoid casualties, try not to cause casualties! ”

To this day, Ron still wants to win at the lowest cost.

"Minister Ron, it is impossible for the army to enter Koblenz without causing casualties!" Old Moltke replied to Ron in a tough tone, "If we don't suppress them with the most severe means, then they will most likely cause harm to our army!" ”

"Alas!" Facing the murderous tone of old Moltke, he sighed to Ron and responded to old Moltke, "Your general staff will take care of it!" ”

With that, Ron left the General Staff.

The General Staff, having received the order, immediately ordered a map of Koblenz to be found.

Looking at Koblenz on the map, the elder Moltke frowned, and he remembered the mistake made by the Prussian army when it first attacked the Berlin area.

As a result, Moltke Sr. did not choose to let Prussia drag a direct attack on Koblenz.

Instead, the defenders of the cities near Koblenz were asked to assemble in the name of military exercises, and after the Koblenz area was encircled, they were all called out of the city on the grounds that the National Army also needed to participate in the exercises.

Because in Moltke's view, the first defeat of Berlin was because of the defection of the Nationalist Army, which made the Prussian regular army unable to suppress it, and only when it left in ashes and cut off the connection between the Nationalist Army and the city, the resistance of the whole city would weaken.

At the end of December, the General Staff issued an order for temporary military exercises, and the troops near Koblenz, having received the order, secretly rushed in the direction of the vicinity of Koblenz.

At this time, even the troops who came to Koblenz did not know that the army was going to suppress Koblenz, and they thought that it was a military exercise to deter demonstrations in the Koblenz area.

It took less than five days for the troops to assemble the strength of two divisions.

Immediately afterwards, the National Army in Koblenz was also informed to participate in the exercises.

In this way, the Nationalist Army, who did not know the truth, was deceived by the Prussian regular army, and when the Nationalist army came to the open field outside Koblenz, they were immediately disarmed by the Prussian regular army.

The general in charge of the National Army of Koblenz looked at the regular Prussian army with a shocked expression, and the regular Prussian army quickly sent people into the city of Koblenz, and they forcibly ordered the inhabitants of Koblenz to stop the demonstrations and return home as soon as possible.

However, the inhabitants of Koblenz rejected the arrangement of the Prussian regular army, and some of them angrily denounced the Prussian regular army as lackeys of the king and the nobility.

In the face of these offends, the Prussian army decisively used the butts of their rifles to attack them fiercely, and then forcibly drove them away.

Watching the Prussian army disperse their ranks with savagery, the priest in the ranks also stood up to theorize, and he was also subjected to the merciless butt of the Prussian soldiers.

For the Protestant Prussian soldiers, beating a Catholic priest was not at all psychologically burdensome.

The barbarism of the Prussian army completely angered the city, and more and more residents of Koblenz began to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Prussian soldiers.

However, their actions did not have any effect at all on the soldiers of the Kingdom of Prussia.

These soldiers, who lived on the land of East Prussia, might have reserved some pity for the inhabitants of Koblenz, but for the Junker aristocracy, they were simply killing themselves.

A bloody repression was staged again in Koblenz, and in order to counter the brutal repression, this time the inhabitants of Koblenz declared the Koblenz uprising, they summoned foreign journalists, and announced to them the establishment of the Republic of Inland.

Unemployed workers and the middle class began to build barricades in Koblenz, which they tried to use to stop the Prussian army.

Unfortunately, their strength was weaker than that of the workers of Paris in 1848, and the so-called Republic of Inland was completely suppressed by the Kingdom of Prussia after only a flash in the pan.

In this battle alone, more than 4,000 people were killed and wounded in Koblenz, and the Prussian army also suffered nearly 100 casualties.

The contradiction between Inland and Prussia was even more serious.
