"Alarm! Sound the alarm... sound the alarm immediately!" the commander of the Coburg garrison screamed from the city wall.
"The whole army is ready for war, level one alert, send a telegram to Nuremberg, we need reinforcements... we need reinforcements... the Prussians are coming, Prussia is coming from the north!"
"It's terrible, it's terrible! What happened to these madmen? We have an offensive and defensive alliance treaty. Prussia is pressing its army over. What on earth does it want to do?"
"Exercise? Who would believe your excuse for an exercise! What kind of exercise requires you to mobilize 150,000 troops?"
"Damn it! What are those idiots in Munich doing? Are they watching the Prussians invading and doing nothing?"
In the horrified eyes of the Coburg garrison, the Prussian army finally appeared, and the birds in the primeval forest started to fly and circled in the sky like clouds.
Then there was a rumbling sound from the distant earth, just like a thunderstorm was raging dozens of kilometers away. The sound got closer and closer. Gradually, people can see the edge of the forest, and there are even panicked beasts running around!
Goats, hares, fallow deer, wild boars...all kinds of wild animals were scurrying along the edge of the forest. Through the telescope of the commander on the city wall, he even saw dozens of wild wolves fleeing along the canyon to the west!
"Oh God, even the wolves have moved. They don't dare to stay here. How many troops did the Prussians in the north send? This is definitely not an army of thousands of people that can create momentum. Now in the Thuringian Forest Inside, there are at least hundreds of thousands of troops marching!"
"Only the murderous aura exuded by an army of that size can scare away the beasts in the entire forest!"
"Look! The military flag, the Iron Cross flag has the emblem of a single-headed eagle on it! God... this is not a local garrison, it is the Royal Guards! This is the Prussian Royal Guards!"
Only the Prussian Royal Guard can possess the Iron Cross flag, plus the royal single-headed eagle emblem!
At this time, people could clearly see the military flag flying with the naked eye, and the figure of the Prussian army under the military flag also quickly flashed in front of everyone.
These imperial veterans who had participated in the Prussian-Prussian War and the Austro-Prussian War quickly walked out of the forest, and soon formed huge military formations one after another outside the walls of the Coburg Fortress.
These Prussians did not speak or fight. They just stood there quietly. The military formation was as straight as tofu cubes, horizontally and vertically.
All the soldiers raised their heads and looked disdainfully at the Bavarian soldiers in the fortress who were in panic all day long. The murderous aura emanating from them was as real as the rolling rush. The Bavarians who rushed forward to suppress them didn't even dare to raise their heads!
If there are tens of thousands of people, there will be no boundaries! Not to mention a heavily armored division of more than 20,000 people! These soldiers filled the narrow open space between the Thuringian Forest and the Mein Gorge!
The two sides were in a stalemate. The Bavarian defenders inside the castle did not dare to speak, but the Prussian army outside the city wall did not make any move. The stalemate lasted for half an hour before the Prussian commander proudly rode forward.
"Bavarian brothers in Coburg Castle! We are not here to fight you. We just received orders from the imperial headquarters to conduct military training in the Thuringian Forest!"
"I hope you can rest assured that as long as you don't do anything rude, the Prussian army will never attack you! In addition, please open the gate of the castle. Our garrison needs food and supplies from the Bavarian caravan!"
"Don't forget that we have a very friendly offensive and defensive alliance treaty. We are allies to begin with. How can we close the door to our allies' armies? Don't we all have the right to buy food from Bavarian merchants?"
The Prussian said it politely, but the expression on his face was extremely arrogant. The Bavarian commander on the city wall took a few deep breaths to calm down, and he said with his head raised.
"Your Excellency General, I have received your kindness, but without an order, I really cannot open the castle door without permission! Also, I would like to ask you, how long will this military exercise last?"
"Haha! The military has not given us the specific length of time. Maybe it is a week, maybe a month, maybe half a year, who knows... This depends on what the commanders in Berlin do. Think about it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Bavarian soldiers on the city wall were all sweating. How could this be a drill? This is clearly the threat of Chi Guoguo!
"Dear general, please don't embarrass us. I really don't have the right to open the fortress gate at will. I have to ask my superiors for instructions on everything! But don't worry, I will report all this to the rear immediately!"
The Prussian commander under the city wall didn't care whether the fortress gate was open or closed, what he wanted was this intimidation.
He stretched out his hand and pressed the brim of his hat and nodded, as if he was saluting, "Okay, my brother, I'll wait for your results."
"Encamp the whole army, cut down the forest, and drive away the wild beasts! Boys, get ready for a vacation in the Thuringian Forest!"
Following the commander's order, countless figures emerged from the edge of the Thuringian Forest in the distance. The 150,000 troops near Fort Walter had also arrived at this moment.
After receiving the order, the newcomers immediately began to set up camp. They cut down the forest, cleared the grass, and cleared out a large and small camping place on the edge of the Thuringian Forest.
The defenders of the castle looked at the edge of the forest in the distance in horror. They saw military tents popping up from the ground like mushrooms after the rain. Tall trees collapsed with loud noises. Countless bonfires rose, and smoke and dust rose. Soaring straight to the sky!
"Oh God! Are all these 150,000 troops going to be stationed in the Thuringian Forest? What to do? If these people are allowed to stay for more than half a year, the entire forest will be cut down by them!"
"Damn it! What are those losers in the Munich military headquarters doing? Do these officials really not care about our life or death?"
The defenders of Coburg did not know that Munich was already in chaos at this moment! The kingdom's military headquarters is now the center of all chaos.
In the hall of the Military Headquarters of the Kingdom of Bavaria, senior military officials gathered together. They surrounded Prince Liutpod and made a loud noise.
"What is our Ministry of Foreign Affairs doing? The Prussians have made such a big move, why didn't our Ministry of Foreign Affairs send an alert in advance?"
"How did they communicate with Bismarck? Why did the Prussians make such a big move? Are they going to abolish the offensive and defensive alliance?"
"Dear Prince, you must make a decision. Our army is not afraid of war, but we cannot fight a mindless war either!"
"Why on earth do these Prussians mobilize forces to threaten our border? The departure of 150,000 troops actually said it was just an exercise? Are you lying!"
"Prince, please say something! Even if you order us to go to war with the Prussians now, we must give the soldiers an explanation. What are we fighting for? What caused this war?"
"God, you've been sitting here for two hours today without saying a word. Are you scared of the Prussians too?"
