The Third Reich: The Return of the King
Chapter 98
On the evening of July 4, 1920, at about one o'clock in the morning, when everyone was asleep, a terrible siren suddenly sounded.
Immediately after, gunshots, explosions, the cries of children, and the barking of dogs in the streets and alleys rang out.
The people in the city were awakened from their sleep by the sound of gunfire and explosions, and they all hid in their homes in horror and did not dare to go out.
After a night of fear, the next morning, the police officers, who were also terrified, belatedly cordoned off the scene.
After seeing the police arrive, people dared to come out of their homes.
When they came to the street outside, they were stunned by the scene in front of them!
In the distance, the Krupp military factory was billowed with smoke, and huge columns of smoke with a diameter of more than 20 meters rose into the sky, and the smoke almost enveloped the entire city.
Most of the military factory had been turned into a sea of fire by this time, and several houses around the factory were also affected by the fighting, and some civilians were digging desperately on the collapsed ruins, digging with their bare hands, while shouting the names of their relatives, unaware that their hands had been bloodied by the rubble and rubble.
A young mother knelt on the ground with her child in her arms, and even more sadly, her husband's wife lay beside her
This tragic scene was captured by the reporters who came to the scene with their cameras, but it is not only that stimulates people's eyes!
On the streets, inside and outside the factory, seven or eight cars were turned over, and among them there was even an armored car with a French insignia.
And scattered around these armored vehicles are a much larger number of corpses, among which there are civilians and soldiers, and there are far more civilians than soldiers!
As you can see from the attire of these soldiers, they are serious Gallic soldiers!
The explosive news of the corpses of Gallic soldiers, the destroyed Krupp military factory, and the casualties of hundreds of civilians caused by the fighting soon spread throughout the country.
On July 5, almost all of the day's newspapers reported the incident on the front page.
The tragic death of innocent people, the helpless mother holding her child, and the Krupp factory burning behind the photograph had a huge psychological impact on the people of the entire Hanse country.
The pent-up anger was quickly ignited, and soon the capital Bolin region was the first to see a wave of protests, with a large number of workers, students, and even housewives and government officials taking to the streets, holding up signs against Gaul, all the way through Lindenstrasse, through the Brandenburg Gate, and finally all gathered outside the Gallic embassy in Bolin!
Thousands of riot police officers were on standby, but they were terrified at the sight of the boundless surging crowd.
However, unexpectedly, although the people were angry, they did not lose their reason, and they did not choose to storm the wall of police by force, but sang the national anthem of the empire in unison outside the embassy.
The national anthem of the Second Reich was created after the Franco-Prussian War to commemorate this benefit and celebrate the birth of the Second Reich.
Demonstrations are not only taking place in the capital, but also in almost all major cities across the country, with the participation of angry people.
President Hindenburg was very concerned about this matter, and he was very worried that the protesters and the police would clash, causing serious civilian casualties, and the last time the people marched, it was precisely because of President Albert's bloody repression that the public resentment boiled over, and the other side ended up in a gloomy end.
Despite President Hindenburg's prestige at home, at such a time, when the anger of the people could no longer be suppressed, it was easy for the anger of the people to be transferred to him if he did something wrong!
Therefore, President Hindenburg, while strictly ordering the police not to harm innocent people by force, urgently protested to the Entente countries, especially the two countries of Eagle Sauce and the Sun Never Sets.
As for the Gaul side, President Hindenburg knew in his heart that even if he protested to the other side, the other party would probably not care, so he didn't think about wasting his energy at all!
Early in the morning of July 6, the government of the Weimar Republic formally protested to the French and the Entente countries, demanding that the Allied countries severely punish the perpetrators and give justice to the innocent people of Hans.
At this time, the media in China also began to report on the sun never setting and eagle sauce, and when the major newspapers published the picture of the mother holding the cold body of her child, the emotions of the people in these two countries were immediately mobilized.
It is hard for the people to believe that in this era, in this self-proclaimed civilized world, there is such an inhumane thing!
When the war involves innocent people, and they are helpless children, the people can no longer sit still!
Voices in both countries soon appeared denouncing Gaul, and the people of both countries were very angry that such a self-proclaimed civilized country had driven out such a terrible thing.
At this time, their country was still an ally of Gaul, and when they thought of this, the people were not happy, they obviously did not want to be an ally of such a country that was almost a butcher.
As a result, there were also a lot of protests in these two countries, and many cities even broke out in demonstrations against Gaul, demanding that the government terminate the alliance agreement with Gaul!
And this voice has put tremendous pressure on the governments of both countries, both of which claim to be democracies, so they cannot ignore the voices of their citizens.
Moreover, they knew a lot more information than the populace, so they knew exactly what the Gauls were for!
The reason why this happened must be that the Gauls wanted to completely destroy Hans's industry and military industry, so as to destroy Hans's military foundation, so that Hans could not get up for the rest of his life, and he was trampled under their feet all his life!
It was not surprising to the two governments that the Gauls thought this, but their methods were too bad.
Not counting the destruction of more than half of the Krupp factory, it actually affected all the nearby civilians, causing hundreds of innocent civilians to be killed and injured!
And what's even more speechless is that the Gauls didn't do this kind of thing cleanly, and they even asked someone to grab the handle, and several soldiers were killed at the scene, and an armored car was destroyed!
The governments of Eagle Sauce and Sun Never Set began to regret how they were blind and found such a pig teammate in the first place.
It's the pig teammate who has more than enough success and more than failure!
Just as they pondered how to respond to the proposal of the Weimar Republic, shocking news came from the Weimar Republic again!
The newcomer, Major General Mainz, the Minister of Defense of Hans, after learning about the incident at the Krupp plant, directly openly sent electricity to the Entente:
Since Gaul wanted to destroy Hans's military industry so much, and wanted to destroy Hans so much, then he ordered the disbandment of Hans's 100,000 Wehrmacht, so that the whole country could be defenseless against Gaul, so that the Gallic army could cross the border and enter Hans to burn and loot, so as to complete their plan to destroy Hans!
