After deciding to use extreme methods to force Wilhelm II to abdicate and let Crown Prince Wilhelm succeed in advance, they began to actively plan how to achieve success.
"We can be sure that it is almost impossible to abdicate ourselves. Therefore, we can only force him to abdicate." Duke of Württemberg said.
Everyone nodded, but they also knew that it would be very difficult to force Wilhelm II to abdicate. After all, Wilhelm II is now the emperor of the Empire, the most powerful person in the entire Empire.
"We send troops and attack the palace. Then, force Your Majesty to abdicate! Other than that, there is no other way." Moltke the Younger said. Although this method is very extreme, it is the only method that can work.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lieutenant General Graf and Lieutenant General Prittwitz. Both of them were the generals of Imperial Guard, and they were the only troops they could control. As for Duke of Württemberg and 4th Army Corps, they are currently in France and cannot be used at all. Therefore, we can only rely on Imperial Guard.
Germany's Imperial Guard has a total of 25 battalions, stationed around Berlin, including Potsdam. These Imperial Guard are not only responsible for guarding the palace and government agencies, but also responsible for the safety of Your Majesty and important members of the royal family, as well as the safety and security of senior government officials. Berlin's defense is also responsible for Imperial Guard.
Lieutenant General Graf and Lieutenant General Prittwitz each commanded five battalions of Imperial Guard. Together, the two commanded troops accounted for 40% of the total number of Imperial Guard.
"The five battalions under my command can completely obey my command." Lieutenant General Graf said.
"I can influence up to three battalions." Lieutenant General Prittwitz blushed, and his ability can be seen from this.
Crown Prince Wilhelm saw all this, but didn't say anything. After all, now is the time to hire people.
"I can affect two battalions!" Duke of Württemberg said. His eldest son serves as an officer in Imperial Guard.
"I can also influence two battalions!" Moltke the Younger also said.
Although he has been dismissed, Moltke family's influence in the military is undoubtedly very strong. There are also many children in the family. Imperial Guard who serves as an officer in the army and affects two battalions is nothing at all.
"I can influence a battalion!" Marshal Goltz also said.
"This is enough. The total number of troops that you can influence has reached 13 battalions, which is already more than half of Imperial Guard. If we launch a surprise attack and occupy the palace in one fell swoop. At that time, we can naturally use His Majesty the Emperor's order to take back Imperial Guard's military power." Crown Prince Wilhelm said.
Being able to control so many troops already made him very satisfied. You know, German Army's main troops have been sent to fight abroad. At home, there are not many troops at all. Especially in the Berlin area, it is the home field of Imperial Guard. Being able to master so many Imperial Guard, his possibility of success is undoubtedly very high. At that time, as long as Wilhelm II is placed under house arrest, Oscar is tricked back into Berlin, and Berlin is put under house arrest or killed, then he will succeed.
Crown Prince Wilhelm seems to have seen that victory is waving to him again.
"After we get the situation under control, Duke of Württemberg will quickly transfer 4th Army Corps back to the country to stabilize the situation. In this way, others will no longer pose a threat to us." Crown Prince Wilhelm said excitedly.
Everyone nodded, although they all believed that Oscar had a great influence in the army. But if in the name of Wilhelm II, Oscar was seized. Without this leader, will those armies continue to obey Oscar's orders? At that time, they will have enough time to divide and disintegrate, eliminate Oscar's influence in the army, and achieve the final victory.
"Your Highness, I hope that after we succeed, the war will continue. After all, we have reached the final moment of this battle and are about to win. It would be a pity to give up now." Moltke the Younger said.
"Of course, Count. Of course we will continue this battle. Anglo-French Allied Forces has been defeated, and French's defeat is right in front of us. In the end, there is only one left who suffered heavy losses. Britain. As long as we work harder, we can defeat the Britain people. Of course we can't give up this easy victory," Crown Prince Wilhelm said with a smile.
Now, he felt that although the period of time when he was unconscious and sleeping was painful, it was not without any benefit. At least, during this time, Germany became more powerful. The powerful enemy has been beaten to the point of defeat and will soon be defeated. After he takes the throne, as long as the war continues, he will be able to secure the final victory. By then, German Empire will become the most powerful country in the world. And he will be the emperor of this world's dominant country.
How wonderful this is! When he thought of this, Crown Prince Wilhelm was very happy, thinking that all the suffering he had suffered during this period was not in vain.
"German Empire is about to become the world's overlord, and our Crown Prince will become the emperor of this Empire!" Lieutenant General Prittwitz said with a smile.
Others all agreed.
Crown Prince Wilhelm's face was almost bursting with laughter.
"When will we launch?" Crown Prince Wilhelm asked.
"Time is tight. If you delay it for too long, accidents will happen. Let's do this, three days later at night, we will start!" Moltke the Younger suggested.
"Three days later, it's almost time. This period of time is enough for us to complete preparations." Duke of Württemberg also said.
Everyone else also turned around.
"Everyone, after we win, I will never forget your help. By then, everyone will have benefits beyond everyone's expectations!" Crown Prince Wilhelm assured everyone again.
There was a smile on everyone's face. Don't they take such big risks just to gain more benefits?
As time passed by, the atmosphere at Berlin became increasingly weird.
On the evening of April 26, after dark, Imperial Guard stationed in the suburbs of Berlin immediately began mobilization. The betrayal of the guards Imperial Guard Commander Lieutenant General Graf prevented the Wilhelm II soldiers from initiating the problem immediately.
A large amount of Imperial Guard was opened and Paris was opened. They occupied traffic arteries, train stations, and radio stations, and vigorously searched for Imperial Government and senior military officials. At the same time, the main forces of the two battalions attacked the palace.
The mutiny was staged in Berlin when German Empire was about to win.
