Time passed little by little, and when the sun rose, the residents of Berlin urban area finally walked out of their homes. The sound of gunfire had long since ceased, and the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air had completely dissipated. However, it seems that there is still a little residual smell of blood.
On the streets, you can still see bomb craters and some destroyed buildings. There are even dense bullet holes in the buildings around the street. People started talking about what happened last night.
Some people speculate that enemy forces have infiltrated Berlin. Our troops fought fiercely with the enemy.
Some people also speculated that there was a rebellion, because the two warring parties were obviously the Imperial Guard and the Army defending the surrounding Berlin, as well as soldiers wearing another kind of military uniform.
Ordinary people know very little information, which makes them naturally make speculations and associations in all aspects. If they are allowed to continue to speculate and associate, the rumors will inevitably become more and more intense, and may even endanger the stability of society.
Fortunately, Oscar already had a countermeasure for this. Early in the morning, there were propaganda vehicles organized by the government and the military to inform the people about what happened. For the rebellion of Crown Prince Wilhelm, Eitel? Prince Friedrich, Moltke the Younger, Duke of Württemberg, Marshal Goltz, Lieutenant General Prittwitz and Marshal Graf, tell the truth to the people.
Oscar, Chancellor Bülow and others discussed whether to conceal the truth. The government was originally prepared to cover it up, but Oscar did not agree. After all, Wilhelm II was killed by Crown Prince Wilhelm during the rebellion, and this must be known to the people. Otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of speculation about the death of Wilhelm II. At that time, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, and even lead to Oscar. Oscar doesn't want his right to inherit the throne to be questioned because of this.
However, this is obviously Oscar's own over-worry. After the war broke out, the army commanded by Oscar achieved major victories on the Eastern Front and the Western Front. This has made countless Empire people worship him. Although, Wilhelm II destroyed Imperial Succession Law and made Oscar become Imperial Crown Prince, which caused dissatisfaction among some people. But in the face of the achievements made by Oscar, those dissatisfaction and doubts have long since disappeared.
"God! Didn't Crown Prince Wilhelm become a vegetative state? Why did he suddenly wake up again?"
"I don't know, maybe it was a medical miracle. However, the fact that he was able to wake up was already thanks to God's blessing. But why did he launch a rebellion? He also killed His Majesty the Emperor. This is really despicable. You know, His Majesty the Emperor is his father!"
"Hmph! Isn't it just to inherit the throne? After waking up from a vegetative state, he found that his Crown Prince position had flown away. Moreover, Crown Prince Oskar was still doing so well, he would definitely be jealous. Under such circumstances, naturally he can do anything."
"That's right! For the sake of the throne, even family ties are ignored. Such a person should not live in the world at all. God It is a mistake to let him wake up from a vegetative state. It is best to let him sleep all the time and die in his sleep!"
"The most pitiful ones are undoubtedly those Imperial Guard soldiers. They are innocent! It was those Commander soldiers who asked them to do what they did. They were just obeying orders. Now, you are involved."
"In addition to Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Friedrich, there are so many big shots involved. Even Moltke the Younger, who is the former chief of general staff! There are also big shots like Duke of Württemberg. Wouldn't this make Empire confused?"
"Huh! These guys deserve to die. Now is the time when Empire is fighting against Britain, France and other countries. Seeing that our army has the upper hand on the battlefield. The army led by Crown Prince is defeating the enemy and winning. But they are doing this in the rear. Doesn't this mean that we will lose the war? Once we lose the war, everything will be over."
"Yes! This is so inappropriate. If we lose the war, then they are the culprits and they should all be hanged."
"Fortunately, it didn't cause much impact. But even so, we can't let them off lightly. They should be hanged."
Empire people almost unconditionally sided with Oscar in response to this rebellion. After all, the winner now is obviously Oscar. People also hope to be on the side of the winner. In addition, compared to Crown Prince Wilhelm, who had no achievements at all in the position of Crown Prince, the performance of Oscar is undoubtedly much more dazzling. Empire people naturally hope that Empire can develop better and better. In this case, they can also enjoy a series of benefits after the Empire becomes stronger.
Although, there are still some voices that are more or less unfavorable to Oscar. However, generally speaking, the Empire people are on the side of Oscar. This also made Oscar breathe a sigh of relief.
Oscar and Cabinet, as well as military ministers, discussed the funeral time of Wilhelm II. Wilhelm II has been dead for three days. If it is delayed any longer, the body will rot.
Therefore, Oscar and Cabinet set the funeral date of Wilhelm II on April 30.
Although, time is very tight, and the funeral cannot be well prepared due to the rush of time. But this is war time, and it's understandable that everything should be kept simple.
On the morning of April 30, the heads of the Empire states, important members of Cabinet and military bosses, as well as Empire nobles and representatives of all walks of life, attended the funeral of Wilhelm II. The entire funeral, although simple, was solemn and solemn. For Wilhelm II, although this emperor was a bit headstrong and arrogant, but he led Germany to become stronger step by step, German people still loved him very much. The residents of Berlin, hundreds of thousands of whom had come from other cities, spontaneously participated in this funeral to see off their beloved emperor.
Wilhelm II was buried inside Royal Mausoleum. Although, his dominance has not yet been completed. However, Empire has shown signs of final victory. It can be said that Empire's victory in this war is already foreseeable.
"I will definitely realize the dominance you have not achieved for you. In the future, German Empire will definitely become the most powerful Empire in the world." Oscar said in his heart in front of Wilhelm II's tombstone.
