Make France Great Again

"You go to the General Staff immediately and let Moltke suppress the rebellion in Koblenz as soon as possible!"

After reading the telegram, Prince Regent William gritted his teeth and issued an order to Minister of War Ron. At this time, his heart was already on the verge of rage, and he did not care about the subsequent problems that might arise from the suppression.

Standing aside, Minister of War Ron was obviously not as dizzy as Prince Regent William. Ron, who remained calm-headed, advised William I not to be too emotional. The parade in Coblenz was not to the point of using the army to suppress him.

If the army is used rashly to suppress, the Kingdom of Prussia will only further lose the support of the people in Lainland Province.

"Ron, what do you think we should do now?" Prince Regent William was obviously not as smart as Ron. He shouted at Ron hysterically due to his fear of 1848, "Do we have to wait until then?" Will a mob set fire to the entire German region like in 1848, and then we will flee Berlin in a state of disgrace like before?

wake up! Ron, the Russian Empire has too much to take care of now!

No one will ever help us like before! "

"Your Majesty, the matter has not reached that point yet!" Ron tried to persuade Prince Regent William I to calm down. "This is just the activity of a small group of people. Most people in Inland still love the Kingdom of Prussia!"

"Love?" Prince Regent William showed a cold smile on his lips, "A native of England loves a Prussian monarch. This is the funniest joke I have ever heard!"

"Your Majesty, it is true that we have some differences with the Laiyinlan people, but in a big way, we are all Germans!" Ron tried to use the concept of Germany to persuade the regent William, although Ron himself was very fond of Germany. The concept was scoffed at.

"Germans?" Prince Regent William raised his voice and retorted, "We and the Austrians are also Germans. Isn't the relationship between our two countries very good?"

When Prince Regent William gave the example of the Austrian Empire, Ron said nothing.

"Those damn people from Inland are just a group of thugs in the final analysis!" Prince Regent William said to Ron, "Their destination should be prison, not the streets!

Ron, I bet you! If we don't take action now, those damn Lainlan people will force us to make more concessions!

They will demand the reopening of both Houses, thereby replacing my most loyal nobles!

At that time, our nobles will gradually lose their rights under their oppression... They will also restrict all our military exploitation in the parliament. You should know very well that what people from Inland hate most is our army.

By that time, military reform will inevitably be stopped..."

Prince Regent William talked a lot, and the core meaning was that the people coming to Inland could not be allowed to go on strike.

After listening to William I's views, Ron disagreed with some of the Regent's views, but he still agreed with part of the Regent's remarks.

The parade in the Koblenz area may indeed shake the dominance of the Junker nobles in the Kingdom of Prussia. Ron, who thinks from the interests of the Junker nobles (previously Ron thought from the German perspective), also gradually inclined his mind. repression.

Ron is German and a member of the Junker nobility.

When the interests of Germany conflict with the interests of the Junker nobles, Ron can only choose to abandon the interests of Germany and choose the interests of the Junker nobles.

Although this is a bit cruel for people coming to Inland, it is also a choice that has to be made.

Although Ron was already inclined to abandon Germany's interests for the sake of Juncker's interests, he still wanted to avoid suppression as much as possible.

So, Ron thought of a person who might be able to solve this problem. He tentatively asked the Regent William: "Your Majesty, how about we ask Ambassador von Bismarck? Maybe, he may have the best of both worlds!"

"Von Bismarck?" Prince Regent William was stunned for a few seconds, and then spoke again: "I remember, didn't I remember that he was sent to Austria as ambassador?"

"That's right!" Ron nodded and responded to Prince Regent William, "We can send a telegram to Ambassador von Bismarck and ask for his opinion on this matter!"

Prince Regent William was a little moved after hearing this, but he thought of what von Bismarck did in 1848, shook his head and said, "Let's forget it!

You should immediately send a telegram to Coblenz and order the local garrison to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible! "

"Yes!" Ron answered as he obeyed the Regent's order.

Later, Ron, who left the palace, went to the General Staff Headquarters with the order of the Regent. In the General Staff Building, he saw Old Moltke in military uniform.

At this moment, Old Moltke was staring closely at the map placed on the table.

Ron walked in and took a look. Placed on the table was a military map of Berlin and its surrounding areas.

etc! Berlin!

Ron suddenly realized something. He looked at Old Moltke with wide eyes and a shocked expression.

General Moltke doesn't want to...

Just when Ron was thinking wildly, Old Moltke's voice reached Ron's ears, "Minister Ron, what brings you to the General Staff?"

Ron, who came back to his senses, nodded and responded to Old Moltke, "General Moltke, I am here to convey the instructions of His Majesty the Regent!"

Old Maoqi straightened his body and showed an expression ready to go to war at any time.

Ron cleared his throat and said to Old Moltke, "General Moltke, His Majesty orders you to immediately mobilize the garrison in Coblenz and impose martial law in the Coblenz area!"

Upon hearing that the martial law was imposed on Coblenz, Old Moltke showed a flash of disappointment on his face, and then asked Ron in a sonorous tone, "Did His Majesty the Regent tell you the extent of the martial law?"

"Your Majesty didn't say that!" Ron shook his head and responded to Moltke, "The General Staff can handle it according to the local situation!

If you can avoid causing casualties, try not to cause casualties! "

Even now, Ron still wants to win at the least cost.

"Minister Ron, it's impossible for the army to enter Coblenz without causing casualties!" Old Moltke responded to Ron in a strong tone, "If we don't use the most severe means to suppress them, then they are likely to attack us. The army causes harm!”

"Alas!" Faced with Old Moltke's murderous tone, Ron sighed and responded to Old Moltke, "Let your General Staff decide what to do!"

After saying that, Ron left the general staff.

After receiving the order, the General Staff immediately ordered someone to find a map of Coblenz.

Looking at Coblenz on the map, Old Moltke frowned, remembering the mistake the Prussian army made when it first attacked the Berlin area.

Therefore, Moltke Lao did not choose to let Prussia delay the direct attack on Koblenz.

Instead, the defenders of the cities near Koblenz were gathered in the name of military exercises. After the Koblenz area was surrounded, they were all called out of the city on the grounds that the National Army also needed to participate in military exercises.

Because in Moltke's opinion, Berlin's first defeat was due to the rebellion of the National Army, which resulted in the Prussian regular army being unable to suppress it. Only by leaving in disgrace, cutting off the connection between the National Army and the city, will the resistance of the entire city weaken. .

At the end of December, the General Staff issued an order for temporary military exercises. After receiving the order, the troops near Koblenz secretly rushed in the direction near Koblenz.

During this period, even the troops who came to Koblenz did not know that the army might suppress Koblenz. They thought it was using military exercises to intimidate demonstrations in the Koblenz area.

It took the troops less than five days to assemble the strength of two divisions.

Immediately afterwards, the National Army in Koblenz was also informed to participate in military exercises.

The National Army who did not know the truth was deceived by the Prussian regular army. When the National Army came to the open space outside Coblenz, they were immediately disarmed by the Prussian regular army.

The general in charge of the National Army in Koblenz looked at the Prussian regular army in shock. The Prussian regular army quickly sent people into the city of Koblenz. They used force to force the residents of Koblenz to stop the demonstration and return as soon as possible. Home.

However, the residents of Koblenz rejected the arrangement of the Prussian regular army. Some of them angrily accused the Prussian regular army of being the lackeys of the king and nobles.

Facing these offenders, the Prussian army decisively used rifle butts to hit them hard, and then forcibly drove them away.

Watching the Prussian army use brutal methods to disperse their team, the priest in the team also stood up to reason. He also received a merciless rifle butt from the Prussian soldier.

For the Protestant Prussian soldiers, there was no psychological burden at all in beating up the Catholic priests.

The barbaric behavior of the Prussian army completely angered the city, and more and more residents living in Coblenz began to fight side by side against the Prussian soldiers.

However, their actions had no effect on the Prussian soldiers.

These soldiers living on East Prussian soil may have retained some compassion for the residents of Koblenz, but for the Junker nobles, they were just asking for their own death.

A bloody repression was staged again in Koblenz. In order to resist the inhumane repression, this time the residents of Koblenz declared the Koblenz Uprising. They summoned foreign journalists and announced to them the establishment of the Republic of Inland.

Unemployed workers and the middle class began to build barricades in Koblenz, in an attempt to block the Prussian army's attack.

It's a pity that their strength is weaker than that of the Paris workers in 1848. The so-called Republic of England only experienced a short-lived appearance before being completely suppressed by the Kingdom of Prussia.

In this battle alone, Coblenz suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and the Prussian army also suffered nearly a hundred casualties.

The conflict between Laiyinlan and Prussia became even more serious.
