555 Return to Germany

readx(); Two German-Austrians went to the Tang Dynasty, while some Germans returned to Europe.

Blucher, who had been away from Europe for ten years, re-set foot on this land, and couldn't help but feel emotional. He didn't wear a military uniform, just a simple casual dress, and having lived in Datang for many years, he was used to more convenient Tang-style clothing. For more formal occasions, he wears a military uniform or formal attire, and on weekdays, Blucher wears loose casual clothes, even a large T-shirt and shorts. The Tang people have a lot of etiquette, but they are also more casual in many places, and Blucher is now gradually getting used to this kind of casualness, because it makes life easier.

On the pier, a German younger than Blucher greeted him and shook hands with him, "General Blucher, welcome to Hamburg." ”

Blucher looked at the man in front of him and said respectfully: "Monsieur Marnes, the honor belongs to me as well. Now I don't wear a military uniform, and in such an environment, we should be careful, just call me Blucher. ”

Marnes smiled and said, "Monsieur Blucher is the pride of the Germans, and with you here, our business is half successful." ”

Blucher also complimented: "Monsieur Marnes has been promoting internationalism in Germany for many years, and has been well recognized by the German people, and your influence is enormous. ”

The two quickly stopped complimenting each other, got into a car, and began to talk about things that could not be talked about publicly.

Blucher began by saying: "Our entire German corps has begun to sneak back to Germany in pieces, not only from many ports, but also through France. It takes a little more time, but everything is going according to the schedule and there will be no delays. ”

Marnes sighed: "The German Corps is really very ambitious and courageous, and it directly disbands its own formation. Then let the soldiers go to Hamburg on their own, without fear of shortages and desertions. ”

Blucher said: "Most of our soldiers in the German Corps are veterans who have been fighting with the Corps for nearly ten years. I am extremely loyal to the banner of the Corps and Datang, and I dare to boast of Haikou. Even compared with the Datang Native Army, our soldiers of the German Corps are all elite and impeccable in discipline. Admittedly, the way we chose to assemble this time was quite risky, but I had full confidence in each of my soldiers. ”

"I also have great confidence in the strength of the German Corps, and with the soldiers of the German Corps as seeds, we can quickly expand a combatable force and launch an uprising as soon as possible. ”

Blucher's face was serious, and he said: "Now the eyes of Europe are attracted to France. Austria and Prussia already had the possibility of putting aside their old grievances and working together against the new French government. The whole of the constitutional monarchy will not last long in France, and the think tank of the Tang Dynasty has already made a judgment that France will definitely move towards a republic in the future, and at that time, I am afraid that it will be the time when the next European war breaks out. I don't know if the French will hold out or not, but when Prussia sent troops to France, we raised the banner of rebellion in the north, and the chances of success would have been much greater. ”

"Internationalism gradually took root in the Holy Roman Empire, especially among the lower classes. And neither Prussia nor Austria. None could tolerate the emergence of a republican Germany. It is probably not realistic for us to hope that the French will attract the attention of these monarchies for us, because once we have formed the climate. The first objection of Prussia and Austria must have been us, and even the Netherlands would not have wanted a strong Germany to have at their side and would inevitably interfere with our revolution. Prussia and Austria are both countries capable of mobilizing 100,000 troops, while our German Corps, together with the revolutionary masses, is probably only 10,000 or 20,000. ”

"It's a real problem, but it's not without a solution. Given enough time, we can extend the discipline of the German Corps to the ranks of the entire revolutionary army. Scrappy warriors, plus newer weapons we have. It will definitely be more combat-ready than the Prussians and the Austrians. Moreover, the First International would not sit idly by and watch the revolutionary war of the German Revolution. The news I heard was that the First Revolution was recruiting volunteers, and once the German Revolution broke out, an international column would be formed to come to support us, and the Tang Dynasty did not have too much to do with Prussia and Austria, so it would spare no effort to support us, although it would not directly send troops, but we could get enough supplies and weapons and ammunition to support, and the more this war continued, the more powerful it would be for us, and the more it would disintegrate the feudal system of the German Confederation. ”

Marnes laughed: "In this way, the future of our revolution is still very good!" ”

In fact, not to mention that the German National Revolution had the full support of the Tang Dynasty and the First International, judging from the achievements of Marnes in the "mission" in Germany in recent years, the probability of success in launching a revolution is also extremely high. Especially in the northwest of Germany, Hamburg, Bremen and other places, the wave of internationalism has swept through. Even in Hamburg's city council, sixty or seventy percent of the members of the council agree with the idea of internationalism, and some have even joined the German National Revolutionary Party. In other places, such as Saxony, Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, etc., internationalism is also growing in the underground, and pamphlets on internationalism are circulated in schools and workshops. In the vast German countryside, all kinds of rumors circulated that the aristocracy who ate meat and drank blood was overthrown, and the peasants were redistributed the land.

These concepts and ideas, a brilliant future portrayed by the National Revolution for the Germans, are rapidly changing people's hearts. In addition, the National Revolution had gradually surfaced, and its influence became greater and greater by organizing trade unions or leading peasants against the aristocratic landlords and Junkers. However, the nobles at the top still did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and did not know that they were actually sitting on a volcanic crater.

In the port of Hamburg, which had been bought, boxes of arms arrived by cargo ships from the Tang Dynasty and were loaded into local warehouses belonging to the National Revolution without inspection. In the event of an incident, Marens and Blucher were able to quickly arm thousands of men. (To be continued.) )
