Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    (The chapter that prepares the political scene is watered down. We also plan to use one section to end the mutiny chapter, and then the epilogue.)

    In the congressional election in August, the eccentric Abbott won a landslide victory.  The Social Democratic Party, which had been castrated by Ludendorff's order, brought out all their experience in running Germany for decades and defeated the left wing dominated by Ludendorff and Grenell, which was cloaked in a democratic veneer, with a narrow margin of 7 votes.  The Motherland Party won the right to form a government.

    Before the parliamentary election, the Social Democratic Party, which launched the Schleswig Uprising and swept across the states, principalities, principalities and free cities in the northwestern part of the empire, seemed to have unlimited success, but in fact it had reached a political dead end.  Corresponding to the Workers' Party's conquest of cities in the north was the gathering of imperial conservative forces in non-rebellious areas. Coupled with the brilliant naval victory off the Orkney Islands, civil strife in Russia on the eastern front, and the mutiny in Paris, France on the western front, the power of the imperial reactionaries was no longer there.  Constrained by external forces, the Social Democratic Party, which was beleaguered internally and externally, had no strength to continue moving south, and no one could start a political dialogue with the government despite the hatred and resistance of the imperial forces, including the navy, as well as the Junkers, conglomerates, and industrial trusts.  , can only be gradually weakened in the stalemate.

    However, the parliamentary elections engineered by Ludendorff allowed the Social Democratic Party to see the dawn of the future. Just when the government and Juncker landlords were scolding Ludendorff for his move, Albert, who was sworn in with the army reactionaries, took the lead in doing so.  As a gesture of support, Ludendorff remained indifferent even if he isolated the traditional vote base of the Social Democratic Party from the effective electoral areas. In Germany, the Social Democratic Party is an out-and-out behemoth. Since the empire was unified through three dynastic wars and chose  As a constitutional monarchy, the Social Democratic Party has always been a political force firmly rooted in the people. It does not occupy a prominent position but has always been an indispensable political force. It can be said that the Social Democratic Party has not been afraid of competition from the bottom since the day it was born.

    The Navy is also a beneficiary of this congressional election.

    In the peak parliamentary showdown between the Social Democratic Party and the left-wing Fatherland Party.  The right-wing Fatherland Party, which represents the interests of the navy, under the auspices of the old fox Tirpitz, without leaving a trace, won the seats that supported the right-wing Fatherland Party to become the third largest party in Congress, putting the last rivet on the navy's political map.

    At this time, at the military level, the Navy had a high seas fleet that traveled across the North Atlantic, a capable Marine Corps and an effective flying team, as well as the support of General Hoffman of the Army's Eastern Front Command; at the top of the empire  , the Navy has political veterans like Tirpitz and the political legacy left by Bertmann Horwig, and it is gradually becoming a climate that whether it supports the Social Democratic Party or the Social Democratic Party, it will form a simple majority as the third largest party in Congress.  As foreign aid; among the people, the Navy's influence is second only to Albert's Social Democratic Party.  Urban citizens, small and medium-sized industrialists, university professors, pan-Germanists and navalists whose values ??are closer to the bourgeoisie are all reliable supporters of the navy.

    History is so ridiculous. After the shocking congressional election, Ludendorff, who insisted on launching the congressional election, became the biggest loser.  What is even more ridiculous is that the proud and arrogant Ludendorff neither admits that he made a mistake in decision-making nor admits that the Army is doomed.

    The sound of gunfire in the streets of Berlin continued intermittently for several hours into the night.  The riot did not subside, but became more intense.

    Army headquarters northwest of Berlin.  Ludendorff fidgeted uneasily in the backlit area of ??the imperial director's office.  As if grasping the last life-saving straw, they urged the army generals and military and police chiefs to report the latest progress of the great purge movement as soon as possible.

    The Great Cleansing Movement is progressing smoothly.  As the Social Democratic Party led by Albert narrowly defeated the Fatherland Party in the parliamentary election, an anti-Ludendorff pan-political alliance led by Field Marshal Hindenburg emerged. Ludendorff's followers, who were afraid of being counterattacked, were forced to resort to desperate measures to fight against the enemy.  Determined to destroy everything in the empire and clean up the corrupt forces, he fully cooperates with Ludendorff's purge order.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????All political factions in Germany, including the aloof navy, underestimated Ludendorff's final madness. No one thought that Ludendorff would dare to risk the world's disapproval and betray the country's traditions and laws.  Using the state violence apparatus to directly destroy his political opponents at the political level.

    The Social Democratic Party was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.  The marchers were unable to withstand machine gun bullets, and the Berlin workers' armed forces, which lacked organization and command, were unable to succeed. Its political leader Albert and the Social Democratic MPs elected by the people of the empire were all arrested by the Berlin military police. If it were not for the wise Albert,  Resolutely stopped the Social Democratic MPs who had just won the election and were in high spirits from contradicting the Berlin military police who poured into the Reichstag with murderous intent.  I am afraid that the elites that the Social Democratic Party has painstakingly cultivated have been wiped out by Ludendorff. As a result, the organizational and executive capabilities of the Social Democratic Party, which are deeply rooted in Germany, will regress to prehistoric times.

    Albert, who was in his prime, once again encountered the army'sArrest, the anti-Ludendorff pan-political coalition did not fare much better.  Berlin's Juncker landowners were almost uprooted. These old guys with bad tempers and toughness, who only believed in iron blood and followed the Teutonic Forest Covenant, did not succumb to Ludendorff's ideas at all. They took out the flints passed down from their ancestors.  With rifles, breastplates, helmets and rusty knight's swords, they fought against the army and military police who arrested them until they fell in a pool of blood.

    Fortunately, most of the Junker landowners who once ruled the country with the help of the Hohenzollern family are concentrated in rural Germany, and the military and police suppression will not make Berlin a river of blood.

    Berlin's Juncker landowner class collapsed. A small number of army forces loyal to Field Marshal Hindenburg and the German government, which was heavily infiltrated by the imperial navy and army, were unable to prevent the Great Purge from spreading to itself. When a group of army soldiers brazenly broke into Adelaide  In a reception hall on the second floor of the Hotel Long, an army lieutenant in charge fired his pistol. The Imperial Army's political pressure on Berlin reached its peak.

    The story took a turn for the worse here. No one thought that the army lieutenant¡¯s threatening shot would hit a naval man with a transcendent status in the turbulent German Empire, and it was the former Navy Minister Tirpitz.

    The moment Tirpitz fell, the Army Lieutenant was shocked, K¨¹hlmann was at a loss, but Hindenburg, Hedlin and Max, who were arrested, laughed heartily.

    Tirpitz, who was shot in the chest and had an injured lung, was rushed to the best hospital in Berlin. Along the way, the army used chariots to clear the way, escorted by a platoon of navy and army soldiers, and accompanied by the foreign minister. Even so, Tirpitz  Erpitz is still in fear for his life.

    Before Tirpitz was injured and fell into coma, he coughed up blood and said intermittently: "This is a personal grudge between me and this army lieutenant and has nothing to do with imperial politics!"

    This is the humiliation of an old fox who has dominated German politics for decades.  Although he was extremely angry at being shot, Tirpitz did not want his right-wing Fatherland Party and the navy behind the Fatherland Party to be used by the anti-Ludendorff pan-political alliance to turn against the Imperial Army controlled by Ludendorff.  A fierce confrontation between the navy and the army was triggered. The navy should be a superior chess player, not a small chess piece on the chessboard. What's more, the confrontation between the navy and the army meant the failure of the national war!

    It¡¯s a pity that Tirpitz¡¯s words could not be delivered in time.  The Social Democrats, conservatives, and Allied agents lurking in Berlin have made up their minds to make this muddy water even more muddy, so only the news that the leader of the right-wing Fatherland Party was shot spread like wildfire. It seems that all this was planned by the Army.  Well done big event!

    The rumors of "the army versus the navy" blew through the burning streets of Berlin like a whirlwind, completely detonating the empire's panic about the civil war between the navy and the army.

    "General, this is just an accident" Grenell looked at the emotional Ludendorff tremblingly, and whispered: "The Army now needs the Navy's help, even if it is just verbal support."

    At the army headquarters, Ludendorff, who was planning to unite with the navy to suppress political opponents, learned that Tirpitz had been shot. He was extremely panicked and unconsciously developed a self-protection mentality and fell into a state of hysteria.  Ludendorff clamored that Tirpitz's shooting was a conspiracy of the navy. The navy, which wore the same pants as Hindenburg and Hedlin, had made up its mind to destroy the army, and the army should take countermeasures.

    "Even if this is just an accident, who still believes in us who launched the great purge?! Even if Heidi Silem can see through all this, that despicable, reputation-seeking guy will not give me a chance to make a comeback. He always wants to  He wants to replace the Army's position in this country and suppress any opponent who threatens his unique status as the God of War, and I happen to be that poor guy!"

    Ludendorff¡¯s face, filled with anger, jealousy and unreason, twisted strangely. He waved his arms vigorously in front of his subordinates and roared:

    "Now that we have broken with the Navy, let's deal with the Navy together! Now that the Navy's main ships are at sea, the Marines are either trapped in Kiel, or in the distant Shetland Islands, Hoffman, who is on good terms with the Navy,  There are insufficient troops on hand and the limited mobile troops are wasted on the battle to land in the Shetland Islands. To deal with the navy, a 'Kap's Riot' is enough!"
