Chapter 568: Württemberg Independence
Chapter 568: Württemberg Independence
?? There were only more than 10,000 guards participating in the rebellion in Berlin. The German army assembled an armored division, an infantry division and a marine division, which was enough to easily crush them. However, it is far from enough to control the Kingdom of Württemberg.
?? Fortunately, the eastern front of the Empire has been completely stabilized, and relying on the newly formed 10th Army, 11th Army, and 12th Army is enough to maintain security. Therefore, under Qin Tian's order, the remaining 9 infantry divisions of the 9th Army were also transferred back to the country. As soon as these troops arrived in Berlin, they received orders and went all the way south to the Kingdom of Württemberg.
??At this moment, in Stuttgart, members of the Württemberg royal family and senior government officials are still in a mess.
?? Although the Duke of Württemberg was hanged, his son fled Berlin and fled back to Stuttgart. The Duke of Württemberg had two sons named Albrecht Fortunatus and Albrecht Greger. In the district, Fortunatus is the elder brother in his twenties this year, and he served as a major officer in the Imperial Guard before.
??The Duke of Württemberg was sentenced to a fluke, which is undoubtedly a big event for the entire Kingdom of Württemberg. Although the king of the Kingdom of Württemberg was held concurrently by the Emperor of the German Empire, the royal family of the Kingdom of Württemberg has been retained. They also have great influence.
"Gentlemen, my father was hanged in Berlin by the despicable Oskar. He didn't give my father a chance, and directly ordered him to be hanged. The so-called fair trial in the court is bullshit, those who should The judges who are going to **** are all Oscar’s henchmen, and they only listen to him! This time, we absolutely cannot compromise with them!” Fortunatus roared loudly.
"That's right, our Kingdom of Württemberg has a glorious history. Even though we are a member of the German Empire, the emperors of the past respected us very much. But now, Oscar has not yet become emperor, first of all The Duke of Württemberg was hanged. This is clearly an insult to the Kingdom of Württemberg." Gregor also had an angry expression on his face.
??However, the senior government officials of the Kingdom of Wurttemberg did not share the same hatred as them. They also knew very well why the Duke of Württemberg was hanged. In addition, the Duke of Württemberg did not discuss with the government, directly intervened in the struggle for the imperial throne, and participated in the mutiny. They are also very dissatisfied. This is tantamount to putting the Kingdom of Wurttemberg into crisis! What's more, the Kingdom of Württemberg is not weak among the many states in the German Empire. However, military affairs, diplomacy, and even finances were all under the control of the central government of the empire. Before the tough attitude of the empire, they simply can't do anything. If you fight hard, you don't even need to think about what will happen.
??Before he succeeded to the throne, Qin Tian killed his two older brothers, a duke, several veteran generals, and even a former chief of staff like Mao Qi. This is undoubtedly a great shock to all forces in the entire German Empire. After all, in the past, Qin Tian gave everyone the impression that he was a very gentle, humble, and almost temperless person. But this time, Qin Tian let everyone see his ruthlessness. This naturally makes those who have evil intentions feel a little lingering.
?? "Then what should we do?" asked the Prime Minister of the kingdom.
?? "We should express our tough attitude to Berlin. Let them agree to a series of conditions for us. Otherwise, we will definitely not let it go." Fortunatus said.
?? "Oh? What conditions?" the Kingdom's Minister of the Interior asked.
"My father, the reason why he cooperated with Crown Prince William was to fight for more independent powers for the Kingdom of Württemberg. At least let us have more autonomy in internal affairs like the Kingdom of Bavaria. Crown Prince William , and agreed to his father's conditions. That's why my father supported him. I didn't expect that Oscar would be so vicious, and directly mobilized an army to besiege them, resulting in the failure of the mutiny. He also hanged my father extremely viciously. Therefore, we Ask Berlin to agree to our terms!" Fortunatus said.
?? "I'm afraid it will be very difficult. As you know, the mutiny failed. His Royal Highness Oscar suppressed the mutiny in the most domineering way. If we confront Berlin, the consequences will be very serious." The prime minister of the kingdom frowned.
"No, Your Excellency Prime Minister. It is now during the war. The strong industrial strength of the Kingdom of Württemberg has played a very strong role in the victory of the empire in this war. If Berlin does not agree to our conditions, then we will declare compliance The Kingdom of Tember became independent, independent from the German Empire, and became a truly independent country. At that time, this will inevitably pose a great threat to the Empire. I think that in addition to promising us, Berlin Apart from the conditions, there is no other choice at all." Fortunatus had a smile on his lips, as if he thought he had pinched seven inches of the empire.
"Your Highness, this is too risky. The empire has been preparing for this war for so long, and it is about to win. If we delay, it will make the entire Kingdom of Württemberg a victim of the people of other empires." The object of hostility." The Minister of the Interior shook his head again and again. As for the independence Fortunatus described, it seemed to him more like a dream.
??The faces of the two Fortunatus brothers suddenly became ugly.
"Why, do you disagree with our proposal? Don't forget, that guy Oscar hanged my father. So far, who will inherit the position of Duke of Württemberg is clearly trying to punish us. Let's do it," Fortunatus continued.
?? "Your Highness, please forgive me for still not agreeing to your conditions. This will put the Kingdom of Württemberg in a state of doom." The Prime Minister of the Kingdom once again rejected the request of the two Fortunatus brothers.
?? "Are you not wanting to seek justice for my father and want to betray the royal family of Württemberg?" Fortunatus asked.
?? "My allegiance is to the German Empire and the Kingdom of Wurttemberg!" said the Prime Minister.
??The Minister of the Interior also nodded repeatedly.
?? "Bastard. Come, arrest them all!" Fortunatus was furious, and directly ordered the guards to arrest the prime minister of the kingdom and others.
?? Afterwards, regardless of everyone's dissuasion, he directly announced that from now on, the Kingdom of Württemberg will be independent. This not only caused an uproar in the German Empire, but also attracted the attention of the whole world.
