Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you?”

“Your Majesty, are you all right again?”

Carjo Nawright, the secretary accompanying him, and Colonel Frank, the chief of the bodyguard, shouted anxiously.

August’s special train had twelve cars.

In order to ensure safety, each carriage looks exactly the same from the outside. Only before leaving, the location of the carriage will be temporarily decided by His Majesty the Emperor himself.

This ensures maximum safety.

Obviously, it was precisely because of such regulations that August escaped this time.

The carriage he was riding in, located behind the special train, was in the penultimate section.

And the guaranteed location is just in the middle of the train. So although the carriage was thrown under the roadbed, he suffered some injuries. However, this is only a minor injury, but the life is worry-free.

However, many of the accompanying staff and guards were killed.

August responded only after hearing the shouts of Carl Jonalet and Colonel Frank.

“I’m fine, send someone to open the door of the carriage and get me out!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Carl Jonalet and Colonel Frank were overjoyed.

August was not killed, which was a blessing in misfortune for them.

If August had been killed, it would have been two consecutive accidental deaths of the Germanic Empire in a short period of time. Plus August was still young and had no heirs. This would inevitably cause chaos in the Germanic Empire again due to the succession to the throne. This would undoubtedly deal a fatal blow to the Germanic Empire.

Then the guards opened the carriages and let August out of it.

“Your Majesty, the wound on your head…” Carjonalet was shocked.

“It’s not a big deal, it’s just a small opening, let the medical staff deal with it.” August said indifferently.

However, when he saw the deformed special train that had been bombed, and there were many entourage who had been blown to pieces, his face suddenly became very ugly.

He knew that the other party had planted a lot of high explosives on the railway this time, which was obviously for his life!

“Frank, take your men to arm immediately. From now on, no one is allowed to lean in without my orders. August commanded.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Colonel Frank replied with a serious look.

He also knew that there had actually been an assassination of His Majesty the Emperor. This time, I’m afraid there will be a big mess.

“Your Majesty, do you want to send a telegram to the local garrison and let them come.” Carl Jonalet suggested.

After all, August’s accompanying bodyguards originally had only one company. After many people were killed by the bombing, there were only more than 100 people left. If any more accidents occur, relying on these more than 100 people will obviously not make much difference.

August thought about it and shook his head.

After such an incident, can he still trust the army? The Army, in particular, was heavily influenced by the Junckers officer corps. Although, it is still unknown who planned his assassination. However, he was sure that this was absolutely inseparable from the Junkers officer corps.

The suppression of the Junkers officer corps and the elimination of the influence of the Junker officer corps in the army was what August insisted on. He needed to weaken the influence of the Juncker officer corps on the army as much as possible.

If there could be only one spiritual leader in the army of the Germanic Empire, it would have to be him.

However, August did not expect that the other party would take such extreme measures this time.

If it weren’t for his luck, I’m afraid even his life would have been lost.

“I remember that the 1st Panzer Division was not too far from here. Telegram to the 1st Panzer Division and ask General Ludendorff to immediately lead the 1st Panzer Division over. In addition, a telegram was sent to the Admiralty to send Marines to Count Tirpitz. When they arrive, we will return to Palin! August commanded.

Carl Jonalight’s face became even more ugly when he heard Auguste’s words, he knew that August did not trust the army!

The 1st Panzer Division is the only armored division in the Germanic Empire that has formed combat effectiveness. The remaining armoured divisions are still being formed.

Major General Ludendorff was pulled up by August in one hand, and he can be regarded as his absolute confidant. Therefore, Major General Ludendorff will definitely not betray.

On the side of the Navy, the same die-hard supporters of August were all over the country. If something happened to him, the new emperor would definitely not support the navy as strongly as he did. Therefore, the Navy will absolutely fully support him.

However, the Marine Corps of the Germanic Empire was relatively small, with only three brigades and less than 30,000 people.

All because of the repression of the Army, which did not allow the Navy to create too many marines.

But now it seems necessary to support the expansion of the Marine Corps. In this way, it is possible to ensure that there is enough force to balance the army.

Although August knew that not every general or officer of the Army was involved in the assassination.

Even the vast majority of soldiers and officers, even generals, supported him and pledged allegiance to him.

But now, he doesn’t dare to gamble at all.

If he returns directly to Bolin, but is killed by those conspirators and careerists, then he will lose a lot!

He couldn’t believe he would have such good luck.

When the 1st Panzer Division arrives and the Marines arrive, it is undoubtedly best to escort him back to Palin, take control, and purge those who tried to kill him.

In that case, he could also take this opportunity to clean up the diehards in the Junker officer corps and further strengthen his control over the army.

“Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it.” Carl Jonalight said.

The 1st Panzer Division was not far from here, and if it had set out immediately, an hour would have been enough to arrive.

With the strength of the 1st Panzer Division, under their protection, no one in the entire Germanic Empire could hurt August anymore.

The Marines are a little farther away, but by train, it only takes a few hours.

For Auguste, the next hour was undoubtedly the most dangerous.

Of course, after the failed assassination, those guys probably didn’t have the guts to send troops directly to attack him. In that case, it would not be an assassination, but a rebellion.
