The home port of Wilhelmshaven, Germany High Seas Fleet.
After defeating British Navy at a small cost in the decisive battle at sea, German Navy has become truly the number one in the world. The warships damaged in the naval battle are being repaired. Most of the other warships suffered minor injuries and were gradually entering the shipyard for repairs. But even so, German Navy's strength still hasn't been reduced much.
Now, for German Navy, their main tasks are only two. One is to continue to block Britain, prohibiting merchant ships from other countries from entering Britain, and bringing various supplies to Britain. Even the fishing boat of the Britain people was discovered and destroyed. In order to defeat Britain, Germany obviously planned to completely block Britain into a dead island. Another task is to prepare for the Army landing in Britain. Now, the Army has achieved a decisive victory on French front. Anglo-French Allied Forces's main force has been eliminated. It is only a matter of time before Anglo-French Allied Forces is completely defeated. After France was defeated, the next one to attack was Britain.
Germany Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, the First Sea Lord, went to Wilhelmshaven precisely to implement the plan to provide cover and support for the Army. Not only that, hundreds of thousands of troops landed on British Isles, and logistical support also needed to be guaranteed by the navy. This makes the navy's task in this battle very arduous. The main combat fleet will be responsible for providing fire support and protection to the army. The logistics fleet transports ammunition and other supplies for the army. There is a lot to coordinate.
When Berlin was undergoing drastic changes, Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz had already rested. After all, he is older now and his energy is also not as good as before.
When Rebel Army attacked Naval Ministry, the officers left behind by the Naval Ministry immediately sent Telegram to Wilhelmshaven, reporting to them that they were attacked by Imperial Guard.
The officer on duty did not dare to neglect and reported the incident to Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz immediately.
"What's going on? Is Imperial Guard's brain caught in the door? How could he attack Naval Ministry?" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz was furious.
"Marshal, is there any surprise?" Marshal von Boll, Chief of Naval Staff, asked.
"There should be no accidents. I asked the person from the Staff Department to send Telegram again to contact Naval Ministry. However, I did not receive any more reply." Feng Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
Suddenly, the hearts of the naval generals in the office continued to sink. They also realized that something must have happened to Berlin. Otherwise, Imperial Guard will never attack Naval Ministry.
After German Navy defeated British Navy, they can be regarded as the most powerful navy in the world. At the same time, German Navy was also a major contributor to Germany's victory in this war. Wilhelm II will never attack the navy at this time. Besides, although German Navy has a close relationship with Oscar, he is still loyal to Wilhelm II. What's more, the current war is not over yet. Even if it is to kill the donkey, it is too early, right? Therefore, German Navy's senior generals were a little confused.
"Do we have other channels to contact Berlin? We need to find out what happened there!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
"Your Excellency, we are already working hard. But, so far, there is no news." A staff officer said.
"Your Excellency, could it be that Berlin mutinied? It was Imperial Guard who mutinied. Otherwise, this situation would never have happened." General Commander of the High Seas Fleet Reinhard? Scheer said.
As High Seas Fleet, Commander also led High Seas Fleet to defeat British Royal Navy. It is foreseeable that after this war is over, Admiral Reinhard? Scheer will be able to get his wish and be promoted again and become the Navy Marshal. He didn't want any trouble to happen before he was promoted. In that case, the situation would be troublesome.
"Mutiny? Imperial Guard is His Majesty the Emperor's most loyal unit, how could it possibly mutiny?" Chief of Naval Staff Marshal von Boll shook his head.
"Nothing is impossible. Since Naval Ministry has been attacked, we can't contact Berlin yet. Then, there is only one possibility. So, we have to take countermeasures immediately." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz seems to have made up his mind.
"Your Excellency, what are you going to do?" Marshal von Bohr asked.
"Order 1st Marine Division, assemble immediately. In two hours, take the train to Berlin!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz ordered.
With the help of Oscar, German Navy established Marine Corps, although the scale was small, with only 5 divisions. However, they took the route of elite soldiers. Except for the training in landing operations, everything else is no different from the Army's Infantry Division. Originally, Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz was planning to let Marine Corps shine in the battle of landing in Britain. But I didn't expect that Berlin would be in trouble now. Then, the only choice is to let Marine Corps debut in advance.
"Your Excellency, without orders, mobilized the troops to Berlin without authorization. This is a serious crime!" The expressions of those present suddenly changed. In particular, Marshal von Bohr offered words of persuasion.
"I know, but now, we can't sit still and wait for death. Berlin can't be contacted, Naval Ministry is under attack. Maybe, His Majesty the Emperor's safety can't be obtained either It's guaranteed. As Your Majesty's ministers, we must respond immediately. I have decided that if there is any responsibility, then I will bear it!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
The other generals saw that Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz had made up his mind, so they had no choice but to stop persuading him.
"Your Excellency, I think we should contact Crown Prince. A mutiny occurred in Berlin, and Crown Prince must be very anxious as well." Vice Admiral Hipper suggested.
Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz nodded. "If there is a mutiny in Berlin, then it is very likely that it is against Crown Prince. The development of the navy to this point is inseparable from the support of Crown Prince. So, if someone wants to target Crown Prince, the navy will never agree to harm him or take his Crown Prince position. I will give Crown Prince Telegram, but 1st Marine Division must be prepared immediately and cannot delay too much time!"
The other naval generals nodded. They all agree with Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz's point of view, that is, Crown Prince is the one to whom the navy is loyal.
