Although Germany is an imperial country, strictly speaking, Germany is more like a federal country.
The whole of Germany is composed of countless small principalities. The Hohenzollern family is the strongest one, so they will serve as the king of Germany. Therefore, in Germany, there are really countless princes and nobles.
It was not until the next morning that the exact news of last night's coup came.
Just last night, due to the arrival of Qin Zhiyuan, William III and Prince Marx left Berlin at the same time. This gave some people an opportunity. Two nobles serving in the Bavarian 2nd Grenadier Regiment launched a rebellion in an attempt to control the military headquarters, and then
Control the army, and then use force to force William III to return the throne to William II.
Fortunately, more officers in the active German army supported William III, so the coup plotters failed to succeed.
However, this also sounded the alarm to William III. If he continues to be benevolent to women, more similar incidents will definitely happen.
So starting from the next day, Germany began to carry out Operation Purity from top to bottom, starting from the military headquarters.
This purity operation was actually the German version of the Great Purge. When William III felt that his throne was threatened, he was merciless in taking action.
Within one day, more than two hundred officers were under investigation within Berlin, more than half of whom were forcibly retired, and more than one-tenth of the officers were sent to military courts. Within the scope of the 100,000-strong army that Germany was allowed to retain,
Thousands of people were also asked to retire, and in extreme cases the Bavarian 2nd Grenadier Regiment, which led the coup last night, was even disbanded.
It is foreseeable that this purity operation will continue to ferment, and other people will definitely be implicated.
Since the beginning of the purge operation, Sanssouci Palace has stepped up its security. On the basis of William III providing part of the security, the Lanfang First Brigade who followed Qin Zhiyuan to Germany also began to assume security work. In China, where Qin Zhiyuan and Julie live,
The building is the core, and the Lanfang First Brigade is responsible for internal security.
The area of Sansouci Palace is still too large. Although there are more than 500 soldiers brought by Qin Zhiyuan, compared with the nearly 90 hectares of Sansouci Palace, they are still insufficient. Therefore, the security coverage area of Lanfang First Brigade is limited to
The security work of the China Building and its surrounding areas and periphery is all done by Germans.
William III paid enough attention to Qin Zhiyuan's security. At Sanssouci Palace, William III stationed a battalion, led by a colonel, to be responsible for the peripheral security of Sanssouci Palace.
Qin Zhiyuan also knows this colonel. This colonel is called Roy von Ludwig. You can tell by his name that he is from a noble family. During the World War, Roy was a staff officer of William III. He also participated in the Battle of Ferenta de Noir.
During the period when William III was captured, Roy served as William III's personal attendant, and he was regarded as William III's confidant.
The Roy people are not bad and have no resistance to us. Our troops have cooperated well with the Germans. They have determined the security scope and contact information. Roy also gave me this. Dong Zishi held a sheath dagger and asked
Qin Zhiyuan reported on his diplomatic achievements.
In the late Qing Empire, Germany was also the vanguard of the invasion of China. There were countless cultural relics from the Qing Empire that were scattered in Germany. Although Qin Zhiyuan started recycling work very early, there would always be some omissions, especially those nobles of noble birth. He was afraid of them.
Because life is in embarrassment, I would rather give away those family collections than sell them for money.
Damn your aristocratic style, they deserve to be hungry.
The sheathed dagger that Dong Zishi held was obviously a fine product in the collection of the Roy family. The scabbard of this dagger was decorated with many precious stones, and gold foil and gold threads were also used to form various patterns. It looked like
It's really extremely expensive.
Dong Zishi was a soldier, and there is a saying in the Chinese world that a sword is given to a general. When Roy chose this to give to Dong Zi, it was considered thoughtful.
Since it's for you, just take it. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't take it too seriously.
Lanfang also has regulations regarding gifts received by officials in foreign affairs. Even Qin Zhiyuan, if he received various gifts during his visits, they would eventually be donated to the Lanfang National Museum and collected as part of the collection.
.
Of course, if it is a gift due to personal friendship, this still needs to be discussed in two ways, but it cannot be generalized.
For example, the dagger that Roy gave to Dong Zi would have been turned over to the national treasury if the regulations were followed.
But it would be different if Qin Zhiyuan approved it. If Qin Zhiyuan agreed to keep it privately for Dong Zishi, it would become Dong Zishi's own and no longer need to be turned over to the state treasury.
Whether Dong Zishi accepted Roy's dagger or Qin Zhiyuan approved Dong Zishi's retention, this must be recorded. Only things that are well documented can be considered to truly belong to Dong Zishi. Otherwise, it is a concealment and will be subject to legal liability.
responsible.
Okay, hey, I gave Roy a watch, and then I changed it to this one, and now I’m making a lot of money. Dong Zishi is still a little complacent.
It is indeed profitable to exchange industrial products for works of art. Of course, if a few more decades pass, the ordinary watches now will become cultural relics by then. It is hard to say by then.
Have the shifts been arranged? Qin Zhiyuan is still not at ease.
Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. One hundred guards per shift, working in four shifts, to ensure safety. Dong Zishi is still confident.
Only 400 of Qin Zhiyuan's 500 guards accepted Dong Zishi's dispatch, and the remaining 100 or so were under the jurisdiction of Dong Xingxiu.
Don't be careless, coordinate well with Roy, and don't make mistakes in coordination. Qin Zhiyuan's eyes feel a bit picky.
I don't know why, but now Qin Zhiyuan will feel frightened whenever he hears the words "please rest assured". This sentence has almost become a mantra. As long as it is said like this, it means that an accident will definitely happen.
.
Yes, there is still no problem in coordination. There are dozens of people here who can speak German. There will definitely be no problem in communication. It just takes a little getting used to. Dong Zishi is quite confident.
There are really a lot of compound talents in Lanfang's army, especially Lanfang's First Brigade. Knowing one foreign language is the basis, two is better, or even three or five. The more, the better. Even if these soldiers
In the future, if I don’t serve in the military, I’ll be able to work as a translator.
In order to facilitate communication during the visit, before heading to Europe, Dong Zashi specially selected dozens of foreign legionnaires to join the Lanfang First Brigade, just to facilitate communication with Europe.
In the middle of the night, Qin Zhiyuan was awakened by a burst of gunfire.
After comforting Julie and Qin De, Qin Zhiyuan left the bedroom wearing his shirt.
Dong Zishi, Dong Xingxiu, Gao Hongshi and others were outside Qin Zhiyuan's bedroom. Seeing Qin Zhiyuan going out, Dong Zishi looked helpless: A troop came from Berlin. The number was not large and the equipment was pretty good. They were currently talking to Roy's people.
The exchange of fire has not yet affected the area we are defending.
Dong Zishi could guarantee that no one could attack China Tower, but he could not guarantee that all attacks would be nipped in the bud.
What does Roy say? Does he need our help? Qin Zhiyuan still wants to take advantage of Lanfang's first brigade's firepower advantage.
Although this is the heart of Germany, if it is equipped with heavy firepower, the Lanfang 1st Brigade does have obvious advantages.
Restricted by the Versailles Peace Treaty, the German army is not allowed to possess heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns, so the sound of gunfire now is intermittent rifle sound and not dense mg0815. In contrast, the Lanfang First Brigade is not only equipped with
They have heavy machine guns, even flamethrowers, and large-caliber mortars. In terms of heavy firepower, they are much stronger than the German army.
Roy just sent someone over to report the news. It's not needed yet, but we need our people to be prepared. Those Germans are still very capable of fighting. Dong Zishi didn't have much to worry about.
There are only 100,000 troops in the whole of Germany. These troops must be the best of the best. They are even comparable to Lanfang's ordinary troops. Of course, there is still a gap between Lanfang's 1st Brigade, but I guess the gap is not big.
It is the worst fight between two armies of comparable strength. Under the premise that the equipment level and training level are similar, it is even normal for the exchange ratio to be one to one. The defender is indeed better in the geographical location, but the attacking side can.
Concentrate the advantage of troops, so the defender's advantage will not be too great.
Then be prepared. If those rebels attack our defense area, we must resolutely defeat their arrogance. Qin Zhiyuan not only wants to win, but also wants to win cleanly and neatly.
The Germans were indeed defeated by the Foreign Legion in the World War, but not all of them. There were still many people who had no experience fighting against the Foreign Legion, and they were still skeptical about the contents of the battle reports.
Qin Zhiyuan specializes in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction. If you don't want to fight, forget about it. If you want to fight, then you must show off your power and momentum.
Let's wait until they have a chance to attack our defensive area. Dong Zishi is confident. As long as it's a head-on battle, Dong Zishi is confident that he can defeat anyone.
The Lanfang 1st Brigade and the German defense forces defended in separate areas. As long as the attacking rebels did not attack the Lanfang 1st Brigade's defense area, it would be difficult for the Lanfang 1st Brigade to intervene.
Although the gunfire was still so fierce, it had no intention of moving towards the China Building. It seemed that Roy still had two skills, and the defense work was well organized.
As soon as he praised Roy in his heart, Qin Zhiyuan heard two huge explosions. It didn't look like a cannonball exploding, but like someone was using explosives to blast.
Roy probably wouldn't be able to withstand it if he went back to supervise the battle. Qin Zhiyuan immediately turned around and went back to the bedroom after giving instructions.
Regardless of whether Julie and Qin De are in danger of safety, Qin Zhiyuan must transfer the main force and Qin De. The Germans are already financially stretched, and God knows if this house will fall into disrepair.
