Berlin, November 6, 1916.

The whole of Berlin waited with bated breath on this day for something big to happen:

Baron Ernst Aleksen von Brem will be put on trial.

His Majesty the Emperor even set up a special tribunal for this purpose, appointing the famous Marquis of Fein Joxor von Felix, the famous "sword of justice", to preside over the trial, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Auguste and His Royal Highness the Prince Joachim will also hear the trial.

There were also rumors: Field Marshal Hindenburg and General Ludendorff would also be present at the trial.

There is no doubt that this is an incomparably luxurious lineup.

And all the focus is on one person: Baron Alexon!

Outside the Royal Courthouse, the people of Berlin gathered early in the morning, whether they were for or against Baron Alexon, or even those who remained neutral, all with the same purpose:

See the legendary Ernst Bram for yourself!

Regardless of whether Baron Alexon is really guilty of treason or not, there is at least one thing that everyone knows: Baron Alexon saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regardless of his own life and death!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's popularity in Germany is far beyond the imagination of other people, and most people in Germany, even if they oppose the monarchy, have great respect for His Royal Highness's military exploits and character.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost became a prisoner of the British, and it was Baron Alexon's miraculous performance that saved him from the evil British!

At 7 a.m., the Lord Chancellor, Marquis de Jocques, personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, entered the courthouse. At 7:10, Colonel Nikolai, head of military intelligence of the Army Staff, entered the courthouse, and at 7:30, His Royal Highnesses the German Crown Prince August and Prince Joachim quietly entered the courthouse through the side door, followed by Field Marshal Hindenburg, General Ludendorff, and even the commander-in-chief of the First Army, General von Bello, and the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, General von Galwitz, all rushed back from the front

Nearly 300 people were allowed to observe, including journalists, aristocrats, dignitaries, military personnel, politicians, and a small number of civilians.

At this time, waiting for a person to appear:

Baron Alexon!

August and Prince Joachim sat side by side in a special auditorium specially prepared for them, and their expressions looked very calm and calm.

In the end, it was Prince Joachim who couldn't help it, and he couldn't help but say, "Baron Alexon hasn't appeared yet?" Wouldn't he dare face this trial? ”

"My dear brother, the trial will not begin until eight o'clock." August said lightly: "Baron Alexon is willing to face all challenges. ”

Prince Joachim smiled noncommittally: "This is not a challenge, but a trial. My brother, do you think he's guilty? Ah, I almost forgot, Baron Alexon once saved your life. ”

"I am loyal to Germany, not to someone." August was still so calm: "If Baron Alexon is really guilty of treason, I will be the first to approve of him being hanged." But dear brother, I am willing to bet my honor that Baron Alexon is a patriot. ”

Prince Joachim sneered.

Patriot? Can he tell what a patriot is? He glanced at Hindenburg and Ludendorff, who were sitting on the side, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

All these high-ranking military officials are here?

It is clear that Ernst Bram was the pride of the German military, a god-like figure who used to boost morale in a difficult situation, and they would never allow the heroes they had created to fall to the ground.

So what role will they play before and after this trial?

He couldn't ask questions, and these senior generals of the military all had straight faces, looking extremely serious. The intelligence bureau under its own command planned the trial with its own hands, and if they were to ask the military about their attitude now, it would definitely be boring for themselves.

As the minutes ticked by, Prince Joachim became a little agitated: "There are ten minutes until eight o'clock, and I bet Ernst will be late." ”

"What are you betting on, Your Highness the Prince?" General Galwitz, who had never spoken, suddenly asked.

Joachim was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that his smooth words would be taken seriously by General Galvicz, and he thought for a moment: "I'll bet ten gold marks." ”

"Ten gold marks, I accept your bet." General Galvetz said calmly.

"I'll bet ten gold marks too, Your Highness the Prince." General von Bello said, "I bet that Baron Alexson will show up on time." ”

August was also interested: "Then in the same way, I will also give ten gold marks, and bet that he will definitely appear before eight o'clock." ”

Hindenburg and Ludendorff glanced at each other, and then said expressionlessly: "Then, I and the First Quartermaster General will act as the notary of this bet." ”

Prince Joachim nodded in annoyance and agreed to the bet.

Even if he lost, he didn't care about the money, but what made him unwilling was that the military's attitude towards Ernst was so consistent:

Unconditional support for Captain Ernst Braim!

God, he's just a little captain! And those who support him are lieutenant generals, first-class generals, marshals!

Nikolai also had an embarrassed expression on his face.

Just when they were restless, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtroom, and bursts of cheers and cheers mixed in.

A smile appeared on August's face

After a while, a man in a crisp military uniform walked in:

Baron Ernst Aleksen von Brahm!

It's seven fifty a.m.

"My dear brother, you lost."

At this moment, Auguste was full of spring breeze: "Your golden mark, please send someone to us, of course, we will send you a receipt." ”

The flesh on Prince Joachim's face twitched: "Okay, I'll send it as agreed." Ladies and gentlemen, if you are interested, I can make a bet with you that today's trial will prove Baron Alexon guilty. ”

"What's your bet on? Brother? August asked.

"I have a private hunting ground outside of Berlin, and I am willing to bet 10,000 gold marks with you!" Joachim said confidently.

"What an interesting bet." August did not hesitate at all: "I will pay five thousand gold marks, who else wants to participate?" ”

Without any suspense, General von Bello and General Galvetz have once again joined the bet.

No one really cares about the bet, what really cares is who will win the bet.

Even, it will become a contest between two different potential forces!
