Chapter 567 Entering Stuttgart

When Xiao Maoqi was being judged, he was very tough. In the face of the court's various charges, he expressed silence. Neither deny nor admit. With a noble background, he undoubtedly has an extremely lofty status in Germany. This made him face the trial with a cold face and contempt of the court.

However, even though he was so uncooperative, the judge still sentenced Xiao Moqi to be hanged after presenting a large amount of evidence in court.

The Duke of Württemberg also refused to plead guilty when he was put on trial. He claimed that he had no intention of participating in the rebellion, but that Crown Prince William had been blinded. The death of William II was directly shot by Crown Prince William, and had nothing to do with him. He even tried to use his identity and status to put pressure on the court. In order to be able to be sent down lightly.

But it is a pity that the court has already obtained Qin Tian's instruction, and it is absolutely impossible for the Duke of Württemberg to be forgiven.

What's more, after the rebellion, the Duke of Württemberg attempted to transfer the 4th Army back home to participate in the rebellion. This is undoubtedly what Qin Tian can't bear. Once the 4th Army returns to China to participate in the rebellion, it will have a very negative impact on the counter-rebellion this time. It will even put the German Empire at an extremely disadvantageous position in this war. Therefore, Qin Tian will never let him go easily.

When the justice announced that the Duke of Württemberg was to be hanged, it immediately broke him down. He yelled in court, declaring that it was Qin Tian who sabotaged him. He also claimed that the Kingdom of Württemberg and the royal family of Württemberg will never let it go.

The last three to stand trial were Marshal Goltz, Lieutenant General Plittwitz and Lieutenant General Graf. In addition to Lieutenant General Graf's tough performance, Marshal Goltz and Lieutenant General Plittwitz performed very unbearably. Although they all confessed in court and expressed their remorse, they hoped to be forgiven and forgiven and given a lighter sentence. However, he still hasn't been forgiven. The court still sentenced the three of them to hang and executed immediately.

The entire trial only took half a day. After that, seven corpses were hung on the gallows in front of the court. These corpses are like flags hanging on flagpoles.

The onlookers in Berlin seemed numb. Seeing those big figures whose eyes are usually higher than the top, being hung up one after another, ending their own lives, there seems to be an indescribable pleasure in their hearts.

Of course, there are also some people who are suffering on the gallows. For example, the families of these people who were hanged. The wife and child of Crown Prince William, the wife and child of Prince Ethel Friedrich, the family of Little Moltke, and the families of the others who were hanged, they cried and cursed Qin Tian. However, he did not dare to have other extreme behaviors. Now these people are all the military and secret agencies of the empire, and they are the focus of monitoring. Once it is found that they have acted against the empire, or have other malicious acts, they will be stopped immediately, or even arrested.

Wilhelm II is dead, and so are Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Ethel Friedrich. This made Qin Tian's succession to the throne no longer subject to any threat. Although, he has two older brothers. However, they did not participate in the mutiny this time, and they were shocked by Qin Tian's iron-blooded methods at the same time. If it is said that they still had some thoughts about the throne before. So now, they already deeply know that the throne is not something they can get their hands on. Otherwise, maybe even my own life will be involved. They don't want to be hanged on the gallows like Crown Prince William and Prince Ethel Friedrich. Being able to be a prince and get their due share of the royal property every year has made them very satisfied. Could it be that because of lack of greed, he would end up committing suicide.

However, Qin Tian insisted on executing Crown Prince William, but Queen Victoria completely hated him. When attending the funeral of William II, Queen Victoria's face has been very ugly. Outsiders may think that this is because William II died, so she was too sad. However, only Qin Tian knew that Queen Victoria was angry because Qin Tian insisted on executing Crown Prince William.

Even so, Qin Tian still insisted on his plan. Crown Prince William's mutiny failed this time, and he cried bitterly, begging for forgiveness. But it was impossible for Qin Tian to trust him, and it was impossible for him to give him another chance. In Qin Tian's view, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to himself. Therefore, he will not let Crown Prince William go anyway. As long as this time bomb is completely eliminated, he will feel at ease.

"Your Highness, His Majesty's funeral has already been held. The trial of Crown Prince William and others has also been carried out. Next, it is your turn to enthroned. As the Crown Prince of the Empire, when His Majesty dies, you should take it for granted. It's time to succeed to the throne and become the emperor of the empire." Prime Minister Biluo said.

"Yes, Your Highness. Although the current domestic situation is still very stable. However, if the throne continues to hang like this, it will have many adverse effects." Foreign Minister Wahit also said.

The other important ministers of the empire all spoke out one after another, asking Qin Tian to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

It is impossible for Qin Tian not to want the throne. However, before ascending the throne, he still has things to deal with.

"Let's put it aside for now! I have been paying attention to the situation in the Kingdom of Wurttemberg. The Duke of Wurttemberg was hanged, but the royal family of Wurttemberg has been silent and has not expressed any opinions. This is undoubtedly very unsatisfactory. It's normal. The news we got is that they are plotting to betray the empire. Therefore, we must take precautions early. After the matter of the Kingdom of Württemberg is resolved, I will ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor!" Qin Tian said.

"Your Highness, the Kingdom of Wurttemberg is an important state of the empire. Especially now that it is at a critical moment of war, if the Kingdom of Wurttemberg breaks out, the consequences will be very serious." Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff Feng Fa Erkenhain said.

Qin Tian nodded. The Kingdom of Württemberg has many heavy industries, and Stuttgart is an important manufacturing base. There are many military-related enterprises there. Therefore, there can be no mistakes.

"General Hindenburg, the 9th Army, immediately march towards Württemberg. Take over the Kingdom of Württemberg as soon as possible. Ensure the stability there. Especially all kinds of heavy industry enterprises must be intact!" Qin Tian ordered road.

"Yes, Your Highness." Admiral Hindenburg immediately carried out the order.
