(I don¡¯t know if this is considered an active injection of water. I wanted to finish the book as soon as possible, but the plot was delayed every day.)
After the shooting at the Adlon Hotel, the so-called Kapp coup came into being.
There is a theory called the butterfly effect. Because of the existence of Wang Heidi, a time-traveler, the modern history of the world in this plane was accidentally collided by Wang Heidi and tampered with beyond recognition, causing the Garp coup that should have occurred in March 1920 to be directly advanced to 1917.
However, history always has irreversible inertia. In the last time and space, poor Wolfgang Kapp was pushed to the forefront by Walter von L¨¹twitz who launched a military coup. He inexplicably became the nominal leader of the new government, and then inexplicably fled Germany and went into exile in Sweden a few days later. In this dimension, poor Wolfgang Kapp was inexplicably arrested by heavily armed gendarmes at the right-wing Fatherland Party headquarters, and was inexplicably acquitted by Grenell's minions, and then was arrested in downtown Berlin. A beer hall was arrested again by another group of military police in the name of "liaising with the Marine Corps to launch a coup."
Looking at the interaction between the butterfly effect and historical inertia in August, what has changed in the history rewritten by Wang Heidi is the content of the Garp riots, but what remains unchanged is Garp¡¯s tragic ending.
The Kapp coup, fabricated wantonly by Major General Grenell and called the Beer Hall Riot by historians, became the best excuse for the Army to deal with the Navy. Everyone knows that Ludendorff¡¯s henchmen want nothing more than to incriminate themselves, but the entire army is tied to Ludendorff¡¯s out-of-control chariot, and the military and political giants who have the ability to interfere and prevent all this from happening. They all gathered in Berlin because of the damn parliamentary elections, and were hunted down by the Berlin garrison and military police.
There is a view in later generations that the August congressional election fraud, the Tirpitz assassination and the Kapp riots were all directed and staged by Ludendorff. This military genius who went to self-destruction because of too much pressure on his shoulders in 1917 In August, when Berlin was in turmoil, he planned to regain the Army's unshakable dominance over the country and clean up those who made the empire chaotic. Use an efficient military government and an army that is gathering its last strength to completely flatten France and win the war.
After entering the 21st century, this view and the "thorn in the back theory" of the German Social Democratic Party have become more and more popular. However, uncovering what the Army did on the night of the bloodbath in Berlin in August, we will know how untenable the former view is. .
After the Juncker landowners, Social Democrats and Berlin citizens shed blood on the streets, the navy was also involved in the terrible historical whirlpool.
After Ludendorff issued the order for war against the navy, the Berlin headquarters of the right-wing Fatherland Party was immediately sealed by the military police. An industrial magnate with close ties to the right-wing Fatherland party and an old lieutenant of Bethmann Horwig was either arrested or placed under house arrest.
After the farce of the parliamentary election, the right-wing Fatherland Party MPs who returned to their homes and hotel rooms anxiously and rejoicing had not had time to catch their breath before they were sent to cells by the Supreme Command. They became unbearable brothers with the Social Democratic MPs who had come in earlier.
The naval headquarters located on the southwest side of Tiergarten Park was also harassed and besieged by the army and was labeled as the Ludendorff faction. The army generals who suffered both prosperity and loss tended to follow Ludendorff's orders. It was a preemptive strike against another behemoth. However, the army underestimated the subtle influence of the Hundred Wars Navy on this continental empire:
After Grenell mobilized his troops, he was embarrassed to find that the army soldiers who admired Heidi Sealem and the Ocean Fleet refused to attack the highly alert naval headquarters, but only surrounded the brick-red building. The military and police turned their backs, unable to remember that they could still cut off the water and power supply to the Navy Headquarters and force the Navy Headquarters to surrender. Although the military police captured the "third figure in the Kapp riot" and the Imperial Navy Minister Marshal Franz von Hipper. But they refused to send the venerable marshal, who had been suffering from serious mental illness for a long time on the front lines of the battle, to an army prison. He was only detained at the Military Police Headquarters.
This is the day of the congressional election. Berlin was changing three times a day, and any order, loyalty, and tradition were shattered in the face of the deviance of Ludendorff and his followers. Although the army generals still obeyed Ludendorff's orders, they no longer dared to believe in the discipline and organization of the soldiers and police as professional soldiers and Germans, and they did not dare to take strong measures against these resistant soldiers.
Ludendorff¡¯s last three-axe attack was directed at Wang Heidi.
Late this night, Wang Heidi became the "leader behind the scenes" of the Kapp riots. Ludendorff, who served as interim prime minister of the German government as director of imperial affairs, signed an arrest warrant for Wang Heidi, and then dismissed Wang Heidi from all positions in the name of the Supreme Command. Authorized Lieutenant General Ma Wei, commander of the First Battle Fleet, to take over command of the Ocean Fleet from Wang Heidi.
As early as midnight, Wilhelmshaven and the Ocean Fleet headquarters were in an uproar after receiving the news of Tirpitz's assassination in Berlin.
No one knows what happened in BerlinWhat happened was that the left-wing Fatherland Party, which had been advocating for parliamentary elections before, suffered a political defeat, while the Social Democratic Party, which had just ushered in the light of day, changed their low profile before the election. It was so easy to get the prime minister seat and the right to form a cabinet; so much so that the Imperial Army, which was always known for its rationality and rigidity, and Ludendorff, who abided by military principles, would not hesitate to break the country's rules and regulations, hoping to use machine guns and cannons to destroy the ambitions of other political factions in Berlin. Uncharacteristically, he did not hesitate to fight against the whole of Germany, and even pointed his gun at the innocent Marshal Tirpitz!
Wilhelmshaven sent an inquiry telegram to the distant naval leader, and then stood in front of the telegraph machine at the naval base, waiting for Heidi Wang's analysis of the telegram and the follow-up news from Berlin to leave Tier, who was standing at the front desk to coordinate the naval operations. Pitts, a naval man who deliberately alienated himself from the center of imperial power, lacked access to first-hand intelligence on Berlin.
Wang Heidi, who received the telegram, was keenly aware that Ludendorff had messed up the "Congress Election" drama that she had written and directed. The Social Democratic Party, which had no way out, did not count on surviving the desperate situation, but took the opportunity to seize the opportunity in the hands of the Army. Got a big deal. An angry Ludendorff and the Army had gone to war against the Social Democrats and the conservative forces in Berlin who opposed Ludendorff's rule, and Tirpitz's assassination might have been an accident.
Facing the crisis, Wang Heidi, as the leader of the navy, stood up without hesitation.
Wang Heidi first notified the Radel Naval Intelligence Office, controlled by the Chief of Naval Staff, to investigate the political situation in Berlin. The Navy Headquarters contacted Tirpitz's entourage as soon as possible to find out the truth about the assassination of Marshal. Mr. Karp replaced Marshal Tirpitz. Presiding over the right-wing Fatherland Party, paying attention to contacting Wilhelmshaven and the naval headquarters, Wang Heidi finally set the tone for the Berlin riot.
Direct confrontation between the navy and the army is not in the national interest. Although the assassination of the marshal is outrageous, any navy man must remain calm until the truth comes out to prevent Germany from falling into the abyss of collapse.
During the bloody Berlin Purge, Wang Heidi worked hard to suppress the turmoil within the navy and tried to continue the previous policy of war. The navy stayed away from all political disputes, preserved its combat effectiveness to the maximum extent, built a steel sea wall for the empire while maintaining oppression against the Allies; On the other side, retired Marshal Tirpitz and the Fatherland Party stood in front of the bizarre Berlin stage, charging into battle on behalf of the navy.
Wang Heidi¡¯s countermeasures were not pragmatic, but he still underestimated Tirpitz¡¯s role. After Tirpitz was assassinated, Wolfgang Kapp, who succeeded him, was limited by his charisma and political experience and could not fulfill his mission well.
After Tirpitz was assassinated, Karp not only did not think of contacting the Army and Ludendorff to express the Navy's position, but the Army ultimately made a wrong judgment, and the considerable political legacy left by Tirpitz instantly changed. It became a mess, which greatly delayed the navy's return to Berlin.
Wang Heidi¡¯s mistake was magnified half an hour after Tirpitz was assassinated. The helpless army people felt that they had no excuse for the assassination of the marshal, so they simply did nothing about it and took advantage of it to deal with the navy.
Ludendorff ordered the arrest of naval personnel including Wang Heidi, attacked the Berlin Naval Headquarters, and alienated the Navy, detonating the navy's long-suppressed emotions.
"Hoffman, this is really a big plan that I have to do!"
Wang Heidi, who was supposed to command the Marine Corps and the Eastern Front Army in the Shetland Islands to force the crossing of the Channel and threaten the British Orkney Islands, unexpectedly appeared in Hoffman's Eastern Front Command.
The Eastern Front Army assembled here is lining up and boarding the train bound for Berlin under the leadership of officers. Wang Heidi crumpled the telegram sent from Port Wilhelm into a ball and turned away to hide the anger on his face. It wasn't until the depression accumulated in her heart calmed down a little that she turned around and stared at the plan in Hoffman's hand again. Opening:
