    (I released the Big Three, Hoffman, Albert and the protagonist together, so you can guess who launched the mutiny, haha.)

    Restart Congress and elect a Constituent Assembly!

    At the beginning of July, the whole of Europe was frightened by Ludendorff's "Message to the German Compatriots."  The Imperial Prime Minister, the Prince Regent, and the Chief of Army General Staff seemed to have been slapped hard from a distance. They were at a loss in their respective offices except to curse loudly.  Germany's allies, Vienna, Rome and Istanbul, were in chaos. They didn't understand how Germany, which valued national unity more than life and death, could be dragged down by a war that could already see the dawn of victory. As for the Allies, they  I can only try my best to suppress the thought of laughing to the sky, and wait for the follow-up with doubts.

    It¡¯s no wonder that the Allied Powers were too short-sighted. Unless they were delusional, even the most optimistic Allied Powers about the First World War would not have thought that Germany would destroy its city walls so completely. In the history of human wars for thousands of years, wars have destroyed powerful empires.  It is not uncommon, but few countries, when they have the upper hand, put aside the tragic wars that involve the survival of the country and the rise and fall of the nation, expose domestic political conflicts to the sun, and use inefficient democracy to solve problems in a whimsical way.

    There is a United States of America on this planet that flaunts freedom and is considered the last hope of mankind. However, even this country will have a wartime state with unlimited power concentration.  The Allied Powers are still unaware of the violence and perversity contained in Germany's seemingly rational body, and they do not understand the collective tragic aesthetic of Germans who often make gestures against the world. They do not believe that Germany will carry out a war at this time that may detonate domestic violence.  A political election with antagonistic emotions!

    In the following days, the situation became completely clear. Only then did the Allied Powers realize that they had misunderstood Germany. There were always only two kinds of people in this empire, either geniuses or madmen, and Heidi Silem was just an exception.  .

    As soon as Ludendorff's "Message to the German Compatriots" came out, the German political arena was in turmoil, and various forces were arguing endlessly in Berlin.  Some German government officials, military officers, and conservative Juncker landowners stood up and clearly opposed the resumption of parliament and the election of a constituent assembly.  He believed that those "despicable and dirty clowns are not qualified to decide the future of the empire". Radical supporters of the imperial system even bluntly said that "the empire should not forget the traditions inherited from the Teutonic Forest". Ludendorff was "  "An accomplice of socialism" and Germany's "out-and-out traitor".

    Behind Ludendorff was the support of the Imperial Army, as well as the flag-waving support of the Junkers Consortium and the Industrial Trust.  Even the traditional supporters of the navy - the imperial pan-Germans, small and medium-sized industrialists and businessmen, and university professors - have been openly or covertly campaigning for Ludendorff for a long time.  The elites who ruled this empire were all Junkers and the officer corps who came from Junkers. They were poor and conservative and retained many of the iron-blooded factors and militaristic traditions for this empire that were enough to support Germany's standing among the nations of the world. However,  At the same time, it also excluded other forces, including the emerging Juncker Consortium, the Rhine Consortium and other industrial trusts, from entering the center of imperial power.  Even the tycoons who controlled the economic, financial, and industrial lifelines of the empire could only dictate the situation in Congress and local councils, not to mention the naval supporters and labor forces who had to share this limited power with the tycoons.

    Ludendorff¡¯s supporters quickly gained the upper hand.  Albert's appearance in the second week of July was the straw that broke the camel's back.

    Although Ludendorff deprived the North of the right to vote in the areas involved in the rebellion, the Social Democratic Party and its branches still loudly announced their determination to support Ludendorff, praising the Imperial Director-General for finally "standing on the people's stand and doing something meaningful."  things".

    As soon as Albert finished speaking, riots broke out in Berlin.  In the face of turbulent public opinion.  Unless Prime Minister Hedlin, Regent Max, and Marshal Hindenburg decide to fight to the death and mobilize the army to eradicate Ludendorff, the anti-Ludendorff forces will only be forced to surrender by Ludendorff's desperate move.

    "While Ludendorff restored the identity of the Social Democratic Party and allowed them to participate in this congressional election in exchange for Albert's support, he also canceled the electoral rights in the places where the Social Democratic Party was strongest and suppressed the once largest party in Congress, just like we  I didn¡¯t know that Ludendorff founded the Fatherland Party last month with the support of the Reich Steel Association, consortiums and industrial trusts!¡± In Berlin¡¯s Paris Platz, a luxurious room in the Adlon Hotel was brightly lit.  Prime Minister Hedlin stood in front of the window sill and gently lifted the corner of the curtain to see a large number of demonstrators in Paris Square demanding the reopening of Congress.  He snorted coldly and continued: "It's as if we don't know that he united with the rest of us and used Albert's rebellion to drive away the Emperor of the Empire without bloodshed. Then he turned aside us who no longer had the protection of the Emperor and shot ourselves in the foot. To win over  Supporters of Sealem, under the pretext of Albert's rebellion, supported Congress and took control of the entire country through the Motherland Party.The abacus of the country!  "

    Marshal Hindenburg, who had a Frederick-style mustache, folded his hands on his chest and huddled quietly on the sofa.  He seemed to have fallen asleep, and only opened his eyes slightly when Prime Minister Hedlin mentioned the name Silem.  The lips moved.

    "But you have to admit that Ludendorff's plan is interconnected and watertight. Today we have gone too far on the wrong path. Faced with Ludendorff's complete conspiracy, we, alone, have options to choose from.  There really isn't much room left, unless" Regent Max looked at Army Chief of Staff Hindenburg, who had his head drooped and said nothing, and seemed to say half-heartedly: "Unless we resolve the troubles in Berlin with decisive decisive action!  "

    "This is impossible!" Hindenburg seemed to be awakened. He raised his head faintly, looked at the Regent Max with slight surprise, who just barely said the word "mutiny", shook his head and murmured: "This is impossible.  , the officer corps has no tradition of violating Teutonic norms, and I will not allow the Army to betray its traditions!"

    "Marshal, we don't have much time!" Heidlin interrupted Hindenburg's speech and shouted at the spiritual leader of the army.

    Marshal Hindenburg immediately stopped and retreated into the sofa in silence.

    "The only army that Ludendorff completely controls is the Western Front Army. General Hoffmann of the Eastern Front Command has always been at odds with Ludendorff. We can plan an accident and use General Hoffmann to control Berlin and kill someone conveniently.  These speculators are trying to lead the empire into the path of military dictatorship." Prince Max finally tore off his gentle veil.  With the most embarrassing position among the Big Three, he had to take risks in order to retain his power. The thin man clenched his fists and stepped forward, staring at Marshal Hindenburg fiercely and said: "After the purge, you will come forward to appease the army. Huo  General Fumann replaced Ludendorff's current position, promised sufficient resources to the navy and Heidi Sealem, and the empire returned to the right track. As long as General Sealem and the Ocean Fleet are still there, the war will not be too much.  Big changes, the British cannot support France, the Americans cannot fly over the North Atlantic, at most we have lost a man of action who is not weak at the military and economic levels"

    The luxurious room fell silent, Prime Minister Hedlin and Regent Max opened their eyes wide, held their breath, and waited uneasily for Marshal Hindenburg's response.

    "Then" After a long time, Marshal Hindenburg groaned, a hint of killing flashed in his swollen eyes, and Gujing Buha said: "Just do it!"
