    (I have to go to work, and I don¡¯t know when updates will be resumed. Sorry, I can only wait until it stabilizes.)

    The era of military strongmen is over.

    According to the recollections of civilian personnel at the German Army Headquarters, "late night on August 5, General Max Hoffmann, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front Army, broke into the office of the Director of Munitions and had a fierce conflict with Ludendorff, the actual ruler of the Supreme Command. In the early hours of the morning, Hoefmann  As soon as General Furman left Army Headquarters, Ludendorff, who suffered a nervous breakdown, shot himself."

    A generation of famous army generals and political strongmen fell.  In the dense night in Berlin, many people were celebrating with their hats, celebrating that they could break through Ludendorff's strong oppression and usher in a space of freedom. They were glad that someone finally took full responsibility for the Berlin mutiny, and the investors who wanted to fish in troubled waters could escape.  Tried by a military court.

    It can be expected that Ludendorff's death can greatly ease the tension between the army and the Juncker landowners, the anti-Ludendorff pan-political alliance and the navy. As for why Ludendorff rejected General Hoffman's suggestion, he used a touch of merger.  Not many people care about the non-glorious hero who left himself on the land of Germany.

    In the following period, Ludendorff, who created the "thorn in the back" public opinion and blamed the unfavorable war situation on the Reich's front lines on the Workers' Party's troubles, encountered history's ruthless ridicule.  In the bastard era of successful kings and defeated bandits, the dead Ludendorff became the best target for slander. He was constantly demonized by historians and military experts and became the "sinner of the German nation" who "destroys the empire with his own hands and will win the war."  , until Wang Heidi made the final conclusion in his personal memoir:

    "That is a narrow-minded, extreme patriot."

    On the night of counter-insurgency, history was still rushing forward on the road of "butterfly effect", and the other and most important force in rewriting it was the navy.

    In fact, the Navy originally had the opportunity to do something before the Eastern Front Army. After the Navy headquarters rescued the siege, the indignant Navy sailors unanimously demanded to turn their guns and go north to retaliate against those damn trench marmots. Not to mention the suppression the Navy has suffered over the years.  and insult.  Just on the night of the Great Purge, when Marshal Tirpitz was assassinated and the naval headquarters building was surrounded, and the right-wing Motherland Party that leaned towards the navy was wiped out, it was enough for the navy to hate these army men who were always condescending and showing their claws.

    However, Wang Heidi vetoed any proposal to "attack the Army Headquarters" and just ordered the Navy to go westward, saying "to do something the Army would never bother to do".

    This soft-style order from the Navy leader surprised everyone. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the Navy officers and soldiers respected Wang Heidi from the bottom of their hearts and knew that Wang Heidi hated and disliked the Army more than anyone else, they knew that Wang Heidi was not the first person to arrive.  A coward who lets his guard down at a critical moment is afraid that the roar of the Navy sailors who are aggrieved in their hearts can tear off the roof of the Navy Headquarters building on the spot.

    The discipline that permeates the blood and marrow of every German drove the sailors to pack their weapons and continue westward. They passed by the Tiergarten train station and headed north at high speed through the winding path in the Tiergarten Park.  Directly connected to the Empire's prestigious Unter den Linden.

    Unter den Linden, a street controlled by the army and under curfew, was in a mess, and traces of brief exchanges of gunfire between various political factions could be seen everywhere.  Feeling angry at the bottom of their hearts, more than 4,000 officers and soldiers of the navy emerged from the Tiergarten Park. They first encountered the owner-less Charlottenburg Palace on the north side of Unter den Linden. After dispersing a small number of army soldiers on duty, they spread across both sides of the road.  After walking through the western section of Unter den Linden with its Baroque-style architecture, we finally arrived in front of the Parliament Building.

    The majesty of the Capitol remains unchanged.  It¡¯s just that the so-called democracy without members of Congress is somewhat embarrassing.  The extremely tired Heidi Wang stood in front of the first steps of the Parliament Building, looking up at the German flag hanging low in the night.  I can't help but feel a little emotional.

    April 10, 1898.  As the son-in-law of Kiel's business tycoon and the darling of the Navy, Wang Heidi came to the Capitol, gave advice and scolded Fang Qiu, and persuaded the members to vote to pass the "Naval Forces Expansion Act."  After more than ten years of displacement and three years of cruel blood and fire, on August 5, 1917, Wang Heidi returned to the Capitol Building, which was of great significance to him.

    This time, Wang Heidi has become the spokesperson for the interests of most of the industrial and commercial owners in the empire and the well-deserved leader of the navy.  This time, Wang Heidi did not need to convince anyone that all order in Berlin had been completely torn apart by Ludendorff. Military veterans and political giants who could rebuild order either went into exile overseas or died in the night of great purges and counterinsurgency.  Or be detained in a prison that never sees the light of day, except for the naval god of war, Heidi Silem!

    "The first team will occupy the Prime Minister's Office, the second and third teams will attack the Berlin Gendarmerie Headquarters, the fourth team will attack the Berlin Police Station, and the rest will stay at the Reichstag!" Wang Heidi endured the continuous pain caused by depression.  , pointing to several important places near the Capitol to assign tasks.

    The officers and soldiers of the Navy sailors scattered around performing their duties.  One-armed General Weiger??Looking at the disappearing figure of the sailor, an idea flashed in my mind, and I was vaguely aware of Wang Heidi's true intention.

    On this dark and bloody night, the guy who has been suffering from depression for a long time, who smokes and drinks too much and has a disrupted biological clock, and who still has a bullet in his leg, sitting on the cold steps of the Capitol, covering his head and smoking, is not only the leader of hundreds of thousands of naval officers.  , is also the only military and political veteran of the empire, and the only ruler of the empire.

    The order broken by Ludendorff needs to be rebuilt urgently. Should we unite with the Army and Junkers to restore the monarchy and easily eliminate the upper echelons of the Workers' Party? Or should we suppress the Army and Junkers and unite with the Workers' Party to establish a true democratic republic? Or should we exclude the Army and support them?  Juncker and the Workers' Party established a parliamentary state that was fully tilted towards the navy.  This night, the empire has too many choices, and the decision-making power lies with Wang Heidi!

    Thinking of this, Wegener couldn't help but shudder, breathing rapidly and his chest heaving.

    "Control the Reichstag and the Prime Minister's Office, attack the Berlin Gendarmerie Headquarters and the Police Station" Wegener's throat was dry, and he hesitated for a long time before he managed to confirm in a trembling voice: "Silem, I seem to have guessed something"

    "You guessed it right!" Wang Hai rubbed his headache that even alcohol couldn't suppress. He sat under the imperial flag at the top of the Capitol and said solemnly: "Our army can never forget the Teutonic heritage of our ancestors.  , they are aloof as guardians, but many times, with their lofty ideals, they always do some trivial things. Since the Army doesn't bother to do what they should do, then let the Navy do it for them!"

    As soon as Heidi Wang finished speaking, Wegener's head exploded.

    Wegener could not guess Wang Heidi¡¯s overall plan, but he knew that he and the navy were following their naval leader to create German history.  How crazy and fun it is to have an imperial history that you participate in and that is dominated by the navy!
