Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

Two days after the operation, Valentina finally got out of the dangerous period, and the wound did not continue to become inflamed or worsened. August could finally feel at ease, but it was not over yet. August did not intend to let those things go just like this. Opposition.

The Japanese did not understand August, and they did not foresee the consequences of doing so. They just wanted to incite national sentiment and try to become independent from August's Prussia, and then they would return to power as rulers.

And August would not give them a chance. It would have been the greatest mercy to relegate them to idle positions or let them get out of the political arena. August did not want to engage in massacre, which would not be conducive to the merger of the two countries, but he did not Just because you don't mean I can't mess with you, August can't bear it anymore. She will launch a great purge that will sweep across Japan and wipe out all the opposition, all those who oppose Prussia and Japan.

August issued Order No. [-] in the name of the Regent of Prussia and Japan, implementing a maritime ban across Japan. All ships entering and leaving Japan would be inspected, and all trade with all non-European Union member states, except Britain, would be immediately cut off. During the event, the army will take over the Japanese police force and begin purging the domestic opposition.

This was a counter-revolutionary response to this assassination operation. Moltke and Bittenfeldt were the main persons in charge of this operation. They established the "National Counter-Revolutionary Committee" in Kyoto. At first, the people of Japan thought the situation was not that serious. This also included those soldiers from Prussia.

Auguste not only doubted the opposition in Japan, but also doubted the Prussian army. She believed that "the Prussian army may have minions of the opposition mixed in, and the generals of the Prussian army may be conquered by the olive branch offered by the opposition." Yes, in order to consolidate the operation, everyone must be investigated."

Looking at the background of the entire country, the entire Japan has just been liberated from the rule of the shogunate, and August's power has just been stabilized. However, as August's base, the Prussian army itself has an almost fanatical attitude toward August. belief, and the young people of Japan, supported by the concepts of democracy and Greater Germany that August deliberately instilled, also yearned for August, this unique leader.

August's reaction was very mild at first, and what she did was relatively reasonable. She only investigated the identity of the Prussian soldiers. Of course, this investigation caused problems. There were more than a thousand junior officers in the Prussian officer corps. , there are more than [-] senior officers, and there are more than [-] generals and marshals in total. Among them, more than [-] senior officers have blank military reports, and more than [-] have been investigated for corruption, which directly accounts for [-] of the total. Twenty-five points.

There are more than [-] junior officers with blank military reports. There are more than [-] officers who have committed corruption or unconstitutional behavior during their stay in Japan. Among the generals and marshals, two of the top commanders of the army have unconstitutional behavior.

These data made Moltke stupid. He was furious in the staff department, "They are all idiots. They don't even write military reports. Half of the officers in the entire Prussian army have committed corruption and unconstitutional behavior. You have attended the military academy for three years." , but in the end I only learned how to eat with a knife and fork!”

Most of the people who were yelled at by Mao Qi were not corrupt, or had not been found out. There was nothing they could do about it. After all, it was their officers who were responsible for the trouble. Of course they had to be punished. Under normal circumstances, Mao Qi was too lazy to take care of this matter. Yes, but this time the situation is special. August is so angry. Do you want Moltke to tell August that we did not find the killer, but that the corruption in the entire army is more serious than imagined?

And August is not a fool. If Moltke helps fool him, although August will not expel Prussian citizenship, it is still very possible to celebrate the New Year in Prussia. He finally became a marshal. Who can bear to be back to square one again?

He immediately left the investigation to Bittenfeldt and ran to the military camp to find his good brother Ron. When Ron heard this, he thought, what the hell is this such a big deal? Is the news so exciting?

He had heard about August's assassination, but after all, he was not at the scene. He also visited August later. She didn't have any big problems. It didn't matter if she investigated him. After all, he didn't panic at all. They are all fighting for the world with August. Even if others offer him the best olive branch, he is not interested. This is the revolutionary friendship between them.

But in this case, if the soldiers under him are found to have problems, they will definitely be held accountable. Although it won't be a big deal, as a general, half of the cadres under him are corrupt, so they are still fooling around this time. If you stop messing around, you will lose all your face.

Ron gave the files of the Military Academy to the Anti-Revolutionary Committee, and then more issues were involved, including the officers who had previously returned to Prussia.

There are also people among them who have no military reports. For a period of time, the situation is completely blank, and they may have colluded with the opposition who assassinated August.

In order not to let August know, Moltke sent a brief telegram to Tina in the mainland in the afternoon. The general meaning was that there may be opposition groups in the army, including corrupt officials.

Of course, Moltke's words were not rigorous enough and were somewhat exaggerated. In fact, the situation may not be that serious, but people in the army like to exaggerate, and Moltke was no exception. Tina was stunned after receiving the telegram.

Is it so scary? Might there be a large number of opponents and a large number of corrupt elements mixed into the army?

Moltke did not explain what the situation was. After all, the telegram was not clear and the time was tight. Of course, Tina's reaction was much more excited than August's.

The opposition in the court didn't matter, it was just a mouthful anyway, but the army was the foundation of the entire Prussia, and Moltke was more rigorous in doing things. She also trusted Moltke enough, and the person who infiltrated the army might be August's assassin. This made Tina even more concerned about this matter, and there was a large amount of opposition, which meant that all strata of Prussia might have been mixed in with the opposition, and there might also be opposition in the government.

In short, after Moltke's telegram passed, Tina was deceived again, and she started the anti-revolutionary campaign in Prussia. She was relatively restrained at the beginning. After the news was released, everyone in Prussia was fanatical about hanging. The assassin, and it was also heard that people who were interested in assassinating August had sneaked into Prussia, and the rumors became more and more mysterious.

Tina was still relatively calm, but soon she lost her composure. She did find leaflets and posters against August and the Prussian government in newspapers around the world. This was not uncommon. August was very concerned about these opponents. The adoption of more moderate policies, thanks to many of these opponents August's policies, was able to put the brakes on the brakes.

But the situation is different now. After Tina's investigation was rejected by the local newspaper, it immediately stimulated the Prussian Army General Staff. Marshal Steinmetz claimed that August's previous moderate policy was wrong and that the regent must be protected. rule and completely eliminate these rebels.

Steinmetz even signed a ministerial order allowing the Prussian Army to replace the police in investigating cases. The Army is generally not good at solving cases, and their generals naturally have not learned how to solve cases. Tina also knows how to let the General Staff Those idiots tried to solve the case because they didn't want to make a big change for everyone, so they just asked the army to assist the police in solving the case, and directly overturned Steinmetz's ministerial order.

But because this incident was so big, the whole of Prussia knew about it, and even Italy in the south was affected. In order to prevent August's assassin from coming to Italy, Vittorio ordered a blockade Port, survey of ships.

The voices of the people became louder and louder, and Tina's pressure doubled. August made it clear that all domestic opponents could not be eliminated, but now she was in a dilemma. In the end, she gave the order, allowing raids on those newspapers and arrests. People who are unwilling to cooperate.

The purge of counter-revolutionaries officially began.
