Chapter 545： behind the scenes

Berlin is the capital of the German Empire. The Imperial Palace is a symbol of imperial power in the German Empire.

It stands to reason that the defense here should be the strictest. But now, it's under attack. You know, the army of the German Empire is now sweeping across Europe, and it is about to win this world war.

But now, his palace has been attacked by unknown militants. Isn't this a slap in the face for the emperor?

"Call the Imperial Guards and ask them to send troops immediately to wipe out these bandits. I will hang them all!" William II ordered through gritted teeth. Right now, he can be said to be in a rage.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Essen von Jonareit immediately went to make a phone call.

However, within a minute, he came back.

"Your Majesty, I can't get through the phone. In addition, it is the imperial guards who attacked the palace!" Essen von Jonalet's face was pale.

William II was also dumbfounded.

"How could it be? How could it be like this? How could the Imperial Guard attack the palace?" William II was dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe this fact at all. However, as the emperor, he immediately woke up. He knew that from now on, his empire would face an extremely severe test.

"Essen, immediately find a way to send news to Oscar and tell him the news of the mutiny in Berlin!" William II looked serious. Although, he didn't know who led the mutiny this time. But he knew that now he, the emperor, was actually in crisis. Even, he might lose his life. In addition, Qin Tian, ​​who led the army to fight abroad, would also become a serious thorn in the flesh of the person who launched the coup d'etat, and the other party would definitely do everything possible to get rid of Qin Tian. Therefore, he had to let Qin Tian know about the situation. Only when Qin Tian is safe can the empire have hope. He himself has the hope of escaping this catastrophe.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Essen von Jonalet knew that the situation was urgent, so he went to make arrangements without any delay.

"Honey, what happened?" At this time, the queen also put on her clothes and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, my dear, it's just some minor problems. You go back to the room, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to come out." William II said to the queen.

"But, my dear, I am very worried," said the Queen.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem!" William II emphasized.

The Queen finally nodded, turned and returned to the room.

William II went downstairs. As the emperor of a country, he wanted to see who dared to launch a mutiny.

William II came to the hall of the palace, sat on his throne, and looked at the gate coldly. In the ears, there were continuous gunshots. This made William II's brows frown involuntarily.

Not long after, the gunfire stopped. William II knew that the guards of the palace had been eliminated by the rebels.

"Boom!"

The door of the hall was pushed open. A group of guards rushed in and guarded every door in the hall.

Then, a tall general walked in surrounded by rebels.

King William II couldn't help shrinking his eyes slightly: "Plittwitz, is that you?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, it's me!" Lieutenant General Plittwitz smiled.

"Why? Why did you launch a mutiny?" William II looked indifferent. Once, he regarded Lieutenant General Prittwitz as his close friend. Now, let him serve as the general of the Imperial Guard, which undoubtedly shows that he is very relieved of Lieutenant General Prittwitz. But unexpectedly, Lieutenant General Prittwitz betrayed him. This feeling of being betrayed by his friends made William II very angry.

"Your Majesty, don't you know why I did this? Originally, I was supposed to be the commander of the 8th Army. In the end, you let that fellow Oscar take over. He not only robbed my The position of the commander of the army has robbed me of the credit that originally belonged to me. Originally, I should have led the 8th Army to defeat the Russians on the Eastern Front. In that case, I could even be promoted to a marshal. Not now, it is still just I can only be a lieutenant general, and I don't even have the chance to go to the battlefield. Now, that guy Oscar has won another victory on the Western Front. Who knows if he will deal with me after the war is over. So, I can only start first To be strong." Lieutenant General Prittwitz had a look of hatred.

King William II was stunned. He didn't expect that Lieutenant General Prittwitz would betray him for such a reason. Wilhelm II was very aware of the conflict between Lieutenant General Prittwitz and Qin Tian. However, he doesn't think the Plitvicians will be jealous for so long. After all, he also has some understanding of Lieutenant General Prittwitz's ability. If he is really allowed to serve as the commander of the 8th Army, it will not be of any benefit to the German Empire. Therefore, when Qin Tian asked Lieutenant General Prittwitz to be transferred from the 8th Army, he nodded. But I didn't expect that it would get to the point where it is today.

"Plittwitz, did you betray me for such a reason? Have you forgotten that if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be where you are today." William II was very angry.

"Huh! Your Majesty, you did promote me. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. But, that's my ugliness to you. I'm like a clown, telling you those colorful jokes to make you happy , shouldn’t you promote me?” Lieutenant General Prittwitz asked rhetorically.

King William II was silent for a moment. Indeed, the main reason he promoted Lieutenant General Plittwitz was because Lieutenant General Plittwitz was very good at making him happy.

Originally, William II thought that he had promoted Lieutenant General Plittwitz, and he would be grateful to him. But I didn't expect that the other party harbored resentment at all, but he never showed it. This made William II blame himself very much, why he didn't see this guy's wolf ambition earlier.

William II looked at the soldiers of the Imperial Guard: "You are all warriors of the German Empire, my most loyal soldiers? Why did you rebel with this guy? If you continue to be loyal to me, I will pardon you For all the crimes committed by me, I guarantee that the past will not be blamed!"

William II wanted to instigate those rebel soldiers, but he was quickly disappointed.

Some rebel soldiers lowered their heads in shame. However, there was no response to William II's words.

"Your Majesty, don't waste your efforts. They will no longer be loyal to you. Because, the object of their allegiance is another person!" Lieutenant General Prittwitz said with a smile.

"Who?" William II asked. He also wanted to know who was really behind the scenes.
