On the evening of July 4, 1920, around 1 a.m., when everyone was sleeping soundly, a shrill alarm sounded suddenly.
Then, gunshots, explosions, children's cries, and dogs barking in the streets and alleys rang out.
People in the city were awakened from their sleep by the gunshots and explosions. They hid in their homes in fear and dared not go out. Through the sound, many people heard that the gunshots came from the northeast, and that direction was where the Krupp military factory was located.
After a night of fear, the police, who were also terrified, arrived late the next morning and blocked 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!
The Krupp military factory in the distance was now billowing with thick smoke. A huge column of smoke with a diameter of more than 20 meters was rising into the sky, and the diffuse smoke almost enveloped the entire city.
Most of the military factory had turned into a sea of fire at this time, and several houses around the factory were also affected by the fighting. Some civilians were desperately digging something on the collapsed ruins like crazy, digging with their bare hands and shouting the names of their loved ones, unaware that their hands had been stained with blood by the rubble and ruins.
A young mother knelt on the ground holding her dead child in grief, and what was even more sad was that her husband's wife was lying next to her.
These miserable scenes were captured by the reporters who came to the scene with their cameras, but there was more to the eye!
On the streets, inside and outside the factory, seven or eight cars were overturned in all directions, including an armored vehicle with French signs.
Scattered around these armored vehicles were even more bodies, some civilians and some soldiers, with the number of civilians far outnumbering the number of soldiers!
From the attire of these soldiers, it can be seen that they were serious Gallic soldiers!
The bodies of Gallic soldiers, the destroyed Krupp military factory, and the hundreds of civilian casualties caused by the war, this explosive news quickly spread throughout the country. On
July 5, almost all newspapers of that day reported this incident on the front page.
The innocent people who died tragically, the helpless mother holding her child, and the Krupp factory burning in the back of the photo, this picture had a huge psychological impact on the people of Hans.
The anger that had been pent up for a long time was quickly ignited. Soon, the capital Berlin area took the lead in a wave of protests. A large number of workers, students, even housewives and government civil servants took to the streets, holding up slogans against the Gallic, passing through the Unter den Linden Street and the Brandenburg Gate, and finally gathered outside the Gallic embassy in Berlin!
Thousands of riot police were on standby, but seeing the boundless and surging sea of people, the police were terrified.
However, unexpectedly, although the people were angry, they did not lose their rationality. They did not choose to use force to attack the human wall formed by the police, but sang the national anthem of the empire in unison outside the embassy. The national anthem of the Second Empire was created after the Franco-Prussian War to commemorate this victory and celebrate the birth of the Second Empire. This song is of extraordinary significance!
The demonstrations not only occurred in the capital, but also in major cities across the country. Angry people participated in the demonstrations.
President Hindenburg paid close attention to this matter. He was very worried that the demonstrators would clash with the police and cause serious civilian casualties. The last time the people marched, it was because of President Albert's bloody suppression that the people were boiling with resentment, and the other party ended up stepping down in disgrace.
Although President Hindenburg had a high prestige in the country, at this time, when the anger of the people could no longer be suppressed, if he handled it improperly, the anger of the people could easily be transferred to him!
So President Hindenburg strictly ordered the police not to use force to harm innocent people, and at the same time urgently protested to the Allies, especially the two countries of Eagle Sauce and the British Empire.
As for Gaul, President Hindenburg knew that even if he protested to the other side, the other side would probably not care, so he didn't even think about wasting energy!
Early in the morning of July 6, the Weimar Republic government formally protested to France and the Allies, demanding that the Allies severely punish the perpetrators and give justice to the innocent people of Hans.
At this time, the media in Britain and Eagle Sauce also began to report that when major newspapers published the picture of the mother holding the cold body of her child, the emotions of the people in the two countries were immediately mobilized.
It is hard for the people to believe that in this era, in this self-proclaimed civilized world, there are such inhumane things!
When the war involves innocent people, and children who have no power to fight back, the people can no longer sit still!
Voices denouncing Gaul soon appeared in both countries. The people of both countries were very angry that such a self-proclaimed civilized country had driven out such a cruel thing.
At this time, their country was still an ally of Gaul. When the people thought of this, they were not happy. They obviously did not want to be allies with such a country that was almost a butcher.
As a result, there were a lot of protests in the two countries. Many cities even broke out demonstrations against Gaul, demanding that the government cancel the alliance agreement with Gaul!
This voice put great pressure on the two governments. Both countries claim to be democratic countries, so they cannot ignore the voices of the people.
Moreover, they know much more intelligence than the people, so they know the purpose of the Gauls doing this!
The reason why this happened must be that the Gauls wanted to completely destroy Hans's industry and military industry, thereby destroying Hans's military foundation, so that Hans would never get up in his life and be trampled under their feet for his whole life!
It was not surprising that the Gauls had this idea in the eyes of the two governments, but their methods were really too bad.
Not only did they destroy more than half of the Krupp factory, but they also affected the nearby civilians, causing hundreds of innocent civilians to be killed and injured!
What is even more speechless is that the Gauls did not do this kind of thing cleanly, and they were caught by someone. Several soldiers were killed on the spot, and an armored vehicle was destroyed! Both the Eagle Sauce and the British government began to regret how they were blind to find such a pig teammate?
It was a pig teammate who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!
Just as they were thinking about how to deal with the proposal of the Weimar Republic, shocking news came from the Weimar Republic again!
After learning about the Krupp factory incident, the new Minister of Defense Hans, Major General Mainz, directly sent a telegram to the Allies:
Since Gaul wanted to destroy Hans' military industry so much, and wanted to destroy Hans so much, then he would order the disbandment of Hans's 100,000 National Defense Forces. In this way, the entire country could be defenseless against Gaul, allowing the Gallic army to cross the border and enter Hans to burn, kill and loot to complete their plan to destroy Hans!
PS: I received a notice from the editor this morning that the previous flu plot could not be written, and there was also a problem with the country name. I was notified that the book needed to be rectified. I was shocked and thought the book was going to be banned, so I quickly revised all the previous ones. It took me about 5 hours to revise them. I was so tired that I almost thought I would not be able to update today...
But it was still greatly affected. Today's update will be postponed, and the latest chapter may be 11:30 pm..._
