Berlin is the capital of the German Empire. The imperial palace is a symbol of the German Empire imperial power.

Logically speaking, the defense here should be the strictest. But now, this place is under attack. You know, now German Empire's army has swept across the entire Europe, and is about to win this World War victory.

But now, his palace has been attacked by unknown armed men. Doesn't this give him, the emperor, a slap in the face?

"Call Imperial Guard and ask them to send troops immediately to destroy these gangsters. I will hang them all!" Wilhelm II ordered through gritted teeth. Now, he can be said to be in a rage.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Essen? Feng? Jonath immediately called.

However, within a minute, he came back.

"Your Majesty, the phone can't be connected. In addition, the one who attacked the palace is Imperial Guard!" Essen? Feng? Jonath's face turned pale.

Wilhelm II was also stunned.

"How could it be? How could it be like this? How could Imperial Guard attack the palace?" Wilhelm II was stunned and seemed completely unable to believe this fact. However, as an emperor, he immediately woke up. He knew that from now on, his Empire would face an extremely severe test.

"Essen, you immediately find a way to pass the news to Oskar and tell him the news of the mutiny in Berlin!" Wilhelm II looked serious. Although, he didn't know who led the mutiny. But he knew that now he, the emperor, was actually in crisis. He might even lose his life. In addition, Oscar, who leads the troops fighting abroad, will also become a serious thorn in the flesh of those who launch the coup. The other party will definitely try every means to get rid of Oscar. Therefore, he must let Oscar know about this situation. Only when Oscar is safe, can Empire have hope. He himself had hope of escaping this disaster.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Essen? Feng? Jonath knew that the situation was urgent and went to make arrangements without any delay.

"Dear, what happened?" At this time, Empress also put on clothes and asked with a worried look on his face.

"It's okay, dear, it's just a small problem. Go back to the room. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to come out." Wilhelm II said to Empress.

"But, dear, I'm very worried." Empress said.

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

Empress finally nodded and turned back to the room.

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

Wilhelm II came to the hall of the palace, sat on his throne, and looked at the door coldly. In my ears, gunshots kept coming. This made Wilhelm II frown.

After a while, the gunfire stopped. Wilhelm II knew that this was the palace guard that had been eliminated by the Rebel Army.

"Boom!"

The door to the hall was pushed open. A team of Guard rushed in and guarded every door in the hall.

Then, a tall general walked in surrounded by the Rebel Army.

Wilhelm II's eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly. "Prittwitz, is it you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's me!" Lieutenant General Prittwitz said with a smile on his face.

"Why? Why do you want to launch a mutiny?" Wilhelm II looked indifferent. Once upon a time, he regarded Lieutenant General Prittwitz as his close friend. Now, he is appointed as the general of Imperial Guard, which undoubtedly shows that he is very relieved of Lieutenant General Prittwitz. But he didn't expect that Lieutenant General Prittwitz would betray him. This feeling of being betrayed by his friend made Wilhelm II very angry.

"Your Majesty, don't you know why I did this? Originally, Commander of 8th Army Corps was supposed to be my responsibility. But in the end, you let That guy Oskar took over. Not only did he take away my position as Commander, but he also took away the credit that originally belonged to me. Originally, I should have led. 8th Army Corps defeated Russians on the Eastern Front. In that case, I could even be promoted to marshal. Instead of being a lieutenant general now, Oskar wouldn't even have the chance to go on the battlefield. E That guy won another victory on the Western Front. Who knows if he will deal with me after the war is over, so I can only act first." Lieutenant General Prittwitz looked full of hatred.

Wilhelm II was stunned. He did not expect that Lieutenant General Prittwitz would betray him for such a reason. The contradiction between Lieutenant General Prittwitz and Oscar is very clear to Wilhelm II. However, he didn't think Lieutenant General Prittwitz would be jealous for so long. After all, he also knows something about Lieutenant General Prittwitz's abilities. If he is really allowed to serve as Commander of 8th Army Corps, it will not be of any benefit to the German Empire. Therefore, when Oscar asked Lieutenant General Prittwitz to be transferred away from 8th Army Corps, he nodded. But I didn't expect that it would end up like this.

"Prittwitz, you actually betrayed me for such a reason? Have you forgotten that if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be where you are today." Wilhelm II was very angry.

"Hmph! Your Majesty, you did promote me. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. But that's how ugly I was to you. I was like a clown, telling you those colorful jokes to make you happy. Shouldn't you promote me?" Lieutenant General Prittwitz asked in return.

Wilhelm II suddenly fell silent. Indeed, the main reason why he promoted Lieutenant General Prittwitz was because Lieutenant General Prittwitz was very good at making him happy.

Originally, Wilhelm II thought that if he promoted Lieutenant General Prittwitz, he would be grateful to him. But I didn't expect that the other party was actually resentful, but he never showed it. This made Wilhelm II blame himself very much for not seeing this guy's ambition earlier.

Wilhelm II looked at the Imperial Guard soldiers. "You are all Valiant 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 forgive all your sins and ensure that bygones are bygones!"

Wilhelm II wanted to instigate those Rebel Army soldiers, but he was quickly disappointed.

Some Rebel Army soldiers lowered their heads in shame. However, there was no response to Wilhelm II's words.

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

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