Germanic Empire: please call me William III

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you?”
“Your Majesty, are you all right?”
The accompanying secretary, Carl Jonalet, and Colonel Frank, the chief of the guards, shouted anxiously.
Auguste’s special train had twelve carriages.
In order to ensure safety, every carriage looks exactly the same from the outside. Only before leaving will his Majesty the Emperor himself decide on an ad hoc basis on the position of the carriage.
This ensures maximum safety.
Obviously, it is precisely because of this regulation that Auguste escaped this time.
The carriage he was travelling in, behind the special train, was in the penultimate section.
And the guaranteed position is located 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 life is worry-free.
However, many of the entourage staff and guards were killed.
August heard the shouts of Carl Jonalet and Colonel Frank before responding.
“I’m all right, send someone to open the carriage door and get me out!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Both Carl Jonalet and Colonel Frank were overjoyed.
August was not killed, which was a blessing in disguise for them.
If Augustus had been killed, it would have been two consecutive emperors of the Germanic Empire who had died unexpectedly in a short period of time. Plus August was still very young and childless. This would inevitably cause the Germanic Empire to be in chaos again over the question of succession to the throne. This would undoubtedly be fatal to the Germanic Empire.
The guards then opened the carriages and let Auguste emerge from them.
“Your Majesty, the wound on your head…” Carl Jonalet exclaimed.
“It’s not a big problem, just a small hole, let the medical staff deal with it.” August said indifferently.
However, when he saw the deformed special train that had been blown up, and many of the entourage that had been blown into pieces, his face suddenly became very ugly.
He knew that the other side had planted a lot of high explosives on the railway this time, obviously for his life!
“Frank, take your men on the defensive at once. From now on, no one is allowed to lean over without my command. Auguste ordered.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Colonel Frank replied with a serious face.
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 ask them to come over?” Carl Jonalet proposed.
After all, August’s entourage of guards originally consisted of only one company. After being killed by many people, there are only more than a hundred people left. If there are any more accidents, relying on these hundred people will obviously not play much role.
August thought for a moment and shook his head.
After such a file, can he still trust the army? The Army, in particular, was heavily influenced by the Junkers Officer Corps. Although, it is not yet known who planned the assassination of him. But, he was sure, this had absolutely nothing to do with the Juncker Corps.
Suppressing the Junker Corps and eliminating its influence in the army was what August insisted. He needed to weaken the Junker Corps’ influence on the army as much as possible.
If the armies of the Germanic Empire could have only one spiritual leader, it had to be him.
However, August did not expect that this time the other party would take such an extreme measure.
If it weren’t for his good luck, I’m afraid he would have lost even his life.
“I remember that the 1st Panzer Division’s station was not too far from here. A telegram was sent to the 1st Panzer Division, and General Ludendorff immediately led the 1st Panzer Division over. In addition, a telegram was sent to the Admiralty, asking The Earl of Tirpitz to send the Marines over. When they arrive, we’ll return to Bo Lin! Auguste ordered.
Carl Jonalet’s face became even more ugly when he heard Auguste’s words, and 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 a combat effectiveness. The remaining panzer divisions are still being formed.
Major General Ludendorff was pulled up by Auguste and was his absolute confidant. Therefore, Major General Ludendorff will never betray him.
On the Navy’s side, he was also a hardcore supporter of August. If something had happened to him, the new emperor would never have been as strong a supporter of the navy as he was. Therefore, the Navy will absolutely support him fully.
However, the Marine Corps of the Germanic Empire was relatively small, with only three brigades and less than thirty thousand men.
It was all because of the Army’s repression, which did not allow the Navy to build too many Marines.
But now it seems necessary to support the expansion of the Marine Corps. Only then will it be possible to ensure that there are enough forces to balance the Army.
Although, August knew, not every army general or officer was involved in the assassination.
Even the vast majority of soldiers and officers, even the generals, supported him and pledged allegiance to him.
But now, he didn’t dare to gamble at all.
If he went straight back to Bai Lin, but was seized by those conspirators and ambitionists and killed, then he would lose a lot!
He couldn’t believe that he would have such good luck.
When the 1st Panzer Division arrived and the Marines arrived, it was undoubtedly the best to escort him back to Bai Lin, take control of the power, and purge the guys who tried to kill him.
In that case, he would also be able to take the opportunity to clean up the diehards in juncker’s officer corps and further strengthen his control over the army.
“Yes, Your Majesty, I’ll arrange it.” Carl Jonalet said.
The 1st Panzer Division was not far from here, and if it set out immediately, an hour would be enough time to arrive.
With the strength of the 1st Panzer Division, under their protection, no one in the entire German empire could hurt Auguste anymore.
The Marines are a little farther away, but it only takes a few hours by train.
For August, the next hour was undoubtedly the most dangerous.
Of course, after the assassination failed, the guys probably didn’t have the courage to send troops directly to attack him. In that case, it would not be an assassination, but a rebellion.
