"Your Highness, Telegram from First Sea Lord!" a staff officer reported to Oscar.

Oscar took Telegram, and after reading it, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

"First Sea Lord has ordered that 1st Marine Division set off for Berlin. It is expected that 1st Marine Division will arrive at Berlin tomorrow morning. 1st Marine Division is the most elite among the five Marine Division. If they arrive in time, Rebel Army in Berlin will definitely not be their opponent." Oscar said.

At the beginning, he suggested that Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz form Marine Corps, on the one hand, it was of course to strengthen the navy. On the other hand, it is also to consider that he can get support from the navy when needed. Now, isn't it the time for this?

"Your Highness, if only Imperial Guard is participating in the rebellion, 1st Marine Division can undoubtedly eliminate them. However, we must prepare for the worst. If other troops are involved, the problem may be more serious." Major General Manstein reminded.

Oscar nodded. Indeed, he found that he thought everything was a little too optimistic.

"Give General Hindenburg Telegram and ask him to lead a Infantry Division and 9th Armored Division to rush to Berlin to put down the rebellion. If there is resistance, shoot to death without mercy!" Oscar ordered.

9th Army Corps and 10th Army Corps are both subsequently formed legions, and the defense zones are East Prussia and Poland, both direct descendants of Oscar. The main officers are also drawn from 8th Army Corps. In the subsequent formations of 11th Army Corps and 12th Army Corps, people from 8th Army Corps also served as corps Commander. Therefore, Oscar is still very relieved about these legions.

"In this case, a Infantry Division plus a Armored Division, plus a Marine Division should be foolproof." Major General Manstein said.

For every legion of German military, there is a Armored Division. Among them, the eight main Armored Division are fighting in Western Front. 9th Armored Division of 9th Army Corps is undoubtedly the most powerful one among the remaining troops. It is also one formed to perfection. Imperial Guard, who stayed behind Berlin, did not have the organization of Armored Forces. If 9th Armored Division arrives at Berlin, it will be enough to suppress all resistance.

"In addition, I order other ministries to continue to follow the previous orders. No unauthorized actions are allowed without my order." Oscar continued.

If there are other troops involved in the rebellion, they can be easily distinguished from them. Oscar believes that with his prestige among the army, once he gives an order, there should be very few people who dare to continue participating in the rebellion. In this case, Berlin's rebellion will be much easier to resolve.

"Yes, Your Highness. I will focus on monitoring each unit." Major General Manstein said.

Oscar nodded. "Ask the armies Commander on the Western Front to come to Versailles immediately. Before returning to Berlin, I need to communicate with them and unify their thoughts. No matter what Berlin causes, there must be no chaos on the front line. Otherwise, our battle will be in vain."

In Oscar's view, Berlin's rebellion participated by Imperial Guard was nothing more than a minor problem. Once the troops he mobilizes arrive at Berlin, the problem can definitely be easily solved. In this case, Western Front is undoubtedly the main problem. The frontline battlefield must not be affected by the rebellion that broke out at Berlin. Oscar hopes that Germany can win this battle.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will immediately send Telegram to each legion on the front line." Major General Manstein said.

"By the way, Your Highness, Crown Princess and little prince are still in Berlin? What about their safety?" Major General Manstein was a little worried.

"Don't worry, maybe because of God's blessing, they went to Munich last week. I will send Telegram to Munich to ask them not to return to Berlin for the time being." Oscar said.

It is precisely because of this that Oscar has no worries and dares to mobilize troops into Berlin to put down the rebellion. This is also his good luck. If Princess Gundelinde and his son were still in Berlin, he would definitely be at a loss.

"God bless you!" After Major General Manstein said this, he immediately went to send Telegram.

After Major General Manstein left, Oscar's face became ugly.

Berlin actually rebelled, which was completely beyond his expectation. You know, under the current good situation, such an accident actually happened, which made Oscar very angry. At the same time, he was also dissatisfied that his intelligence service did not realize it in advance. Of course, what happened has already happened, and there is no point in holding people responsible now. What Oscar needs to figure out now is why Berlin rebelled. Also, who is leading this rebellion?

"Damn it, who is leading this rebellion?" Oscar had a headache.

Although, Oscar still has many enemies. For example, the former Chief of General Staff Moltke the Younger, and another Lieutenant General Prittwitz who was squeezed out of 8th Army Corps. However, Oscar does not believe that with their abilities, they will be able to dominate this rebellion.

In addition, Oscar also believes that he has offended many people over the years. However, the festival between the two sides is not enough to launch a rebellion! You know, the possibility of launching a rebellion is not high. Once it fails, the consequences will be disastrous. Often the price will be paid with life.

It is precisely because the cost is so high that Oscar believes that not everyone will be determined to do that.

Also, even if the rebellion succeeds, how will it be explained to the army and all citizens? Without a legitimate reason, the people will definitely not accept it. At that time, it will not be so easy for the rebels to sit safely in their seats.

Oscar never expected that Crown Prince Wilhelm would wake up. In his eyes, Crown Prince Wilhelm, who has become a vegetative state, is no longer a threat at all. In fact, Oscar once thought that Crown Prince Wilhelm was doomed and that he would spend his whole life in deep sleep until his death. However, who could have imagined that a miracle would happen to Crown Prince Wilhelm? After sleeping for such a long time, he actually woke up, which was really unexpected. It is precisely because of this that the mutiny launched by Crown Prince Wilhelm was able to succeed.

Since it is impossible to guess who is leading this rebellion, Oscar will not force it. As long as this rebellion is suppressed, everything will naturally come to light.
