Just after the entire army gathered on the pasture, Schiffel led his fully armed guards to the pasture. This pasture is where the army raises war horses, but it is also a place used by the army for daily training.
When Schiffel came to the grassland, all 5,000 people from the West Prussian garrison had gathered on the grassland. Schiffel walked onto the reviewing stand surrounded by a group of guards. Standing on the stage was Schiffel.
I didn't say anything, but looked deeply at the soldiers in front of me. Seeing Xiffel's huge amount of money, although most of the soldiers were full of doubts, the military character developed in long-term training made them not say a word.
, make an action.
Xiffel took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Soldiers, today I received news from Sanssouci Palace. His Majesty the King has appointed Prince Ferdinand to inspect our army. At the same time, a group of us will be transferred into the royal guard. This is for us.
An unprecedented opportunity lies ahead.
In order to demonstrate the military power of our West Prussian Army in front of the Prince, everyone is prohibited from entering or exiting the military camp during this period. At the same time, your weapons must be in a usable condition at all times. The logistics department will issue ammunition to everyone after a while.
After the prince arrives, you must perform well and bring honor to our West Prussian garrison."
Xiffel's words made the soldiers' hearts riot. You must know that in normal times, the weapons carried by the soldiers are not equipped with ammunition. The ammunition is only issued by the officers during training, but this time it is clear that the weapons carried by the soldiers are not equipped with ammunition.
Why should we issue ammunition if it is not training? If it is just a review, it would be too fussy.
Of course, only a few people care about the issue of ammunition. Regarding this news, most of the soldiers felt a fire in their hearts after hearing the news. Not to mention Prince Ferdinand’s extraordinary performance in previous wars, Ferdinand’s trip alone
The purpose of coming made the soldiers so excited that they couldn't calm down for a long time.
Not to mention the commotion among the soldiers, but the officers who had made an agreement with Lan Luo were disturbed by Xiffel's actions. If they went according to the original plan, they would prepare the army after getting Xiffel's consent.
In this way, in the name of preventing unexpected events, they can ask Schiffel for ammunition. After the ammunition is distributed to the soldiers, these generals will be able to force Schiffel to submit by relying on the soldiers in their hands.
Although Siffel now ordered ammunition to be distributed to all soldiers, this would already have an overwhelming advantage over their people in the military camp.
There are a total of 5,000 soldiers in the military camp. In addition to the soldiers who are on duty and equipped with ammunition in some special circumstances, there are about 300 people. If a thousand people are armed and rebel immediately according to the plan, at this speed
It was completely possible to control the situation in the military camp before Xiffel could react.
Whether they should act according to the original plan and what should be done next, several officers secretly consulted each other with their eyes, but before these officers could finish the exchange, Xiffel's herald walked in front of them, and the herald conveyed
Schiffel's order: All officers above the rank of captain should report to the main military tent.
With the situation unclear, these officers had no choice but to follow Schiffel's herald to the largest military tent in the military camp.
In the military tent, Siffel was sitting at the top. He was wiping the short gun in his hand and motioning to the officers who entered the military tent to sit down.
After the military tent was filled with people, Xiffel put down the short gun in his hand. He stood up, bowed to everyone in the tent and said:
"I have called you here urgently because there is a major matter to discuss with you. This matter is closely related to the fate of our West Prussian army."
After finishing speaking, Xiffel said without waiting for everyone to answer:
"Everyone must know that not long ago, a royal herald came to our military camp. This herald brought me news that His Majesty the King appointed Prince Ferdinand as a special envoy to inspect our military camp. This
But it is a good opportunity to show the military might of our West Prussian army in front of the royal family."
As soon as these words were spoken, noises broke out in the big tent, and everyone looked at Xiffel with wide eyes.
"Our West Prussian Army has been silently guarding West Prussia, but now an opportunity to perform is before us. Looking at the great achievements achieved by our brotherly troops on various fronts, can our West Prussian Army do this?
Are you indifferent?"
Xiffel said with a smile, while looking at the several officers who volunteered for him in the evening. Under Xiffel's gaze, the faces of these officers showed something strange.
Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of these people, Xiffel took a breath of air. Logically speaking, as long as people heard the news, they would be happy. After all, there were not many opportunities to show themselves in front of the royal family, but then
Not only were these people not excited, but the expressions on their faces were very strange, which made people wary.
Schiffel continued:
"Regarding the sudden order from the royal family, as a Prussian officer, I feel very honored. People with outstanding performance will be transferred to His Majesty's Guards. This is an opportunity arranged by God. Now this opportunity has appeared in front of us."
As he said that, everyone in the tent praised His Majesty William for his wisdom and wisdom. Seeing the loyal and patriotic appearance of everyone in the tent, Xiffel nodded with satisfaction, but his vigilance did not decrease by half.
"It's dinner time now. I asked the logistics people to prepare some ingredients. I will treat everyone to a banquet tonight to celebrate." As he spoke, Xiffel seemed to have thought of something, and he added:
"But after all, the military camp cannot be left without someone to guard it. Let's do this, Mountbatten, Lixier, and Hansenwill, the three of you come over."
The three people named by Xiffel immediately ran to Xiffel after hearing Xiffel's cry, and Xiffel whispered in their ears:
"Immediately seal the camp after you go out. No one is allowed to enter or leave. At the same time, if you find someone walking back and forth in the camp, you don't need to ask me. They will be detained immediately. By the way, Mountbatten, you will lead people to guard outside the military tent. All from this military tent."
If the people who go out are sneaky, I will arrest them all."
After listening to Xiffel's order, Mountbatten and others nodded, and then walked out. These three people are Xiffel's direct subordinates. Xiffel has absolute trust in them, so they put such an important
The task was given to the three of them.
After receiving Xiffel's order, the three people walked out of the military tent. Seeing the figures of Mountbatten and others, some people in the military tent became even more uneasy. They wanted to control the officers in the military tent immediately, but after
Before entering the military tent, their weapons had been confiscated. There were still Xiffel's guards standing inside the military tent. If they launched immediately in this situation, the people in the military tent alone could deal with them. They had to think
A way.
At this moment, a clever officer said to Schiffel:
"Your Majesty General, I'm a little anxious. I'll go first and come back."
When hearing this man's request, Xiffel nodded expressionlessly, but it was obvious that just when he turned around and walked out of the military tent, Xiffel's two guards followed him, looking at him.
Seeing this scene, other people with evil intentions within the army commander became even more worried.
In this weird atmosphere, the logistics served dinner one plate at a time in front of all the officers.
"Although I heard the good news, I can only treat you to a drink tonight. The army has always banned alcohol. As generals, we should set an example, so I ask for your understanding."
Amid everyone's approval, the atmosphere of the dinner remained cheerful.
