Chapter 108: The Great Change in Königsberg


The Prussian spies were well aware of the undercurrent in Königsberg under Hans's orders, and Hans ordered them to transmit the movements in Königsberg back to the headquarters every day While these spies watched the development of the situation, Lieutenant General Handener, the commander of the Königsberg garrison, only felt that there were more and more recent entertainments, and under Kleiman's instructions, those nobles who came to Königsberg and some local nobles who were closer to the Morakot family had been entertaining Handener incessantly Handner really couldn't figure out why these nobles were so attentive, but it was obvious that he couldn't push off these entertainments, especially Kleiman's who also played a role in matchmaking Not to mention the great prestige of the Marquis of Morak in East Prussia, the friendship between Handener and Kleiman was a comrade-in-arms alone made Handener unable to refuse Of course, the same problem did not only arise with Handenauer, but also with the officers of the garrison outside Königsberg, for these officers, they were usually tired like dogs in the barracks, and it was a good thing to ask for consumption, so every time it was time to disband, a large number of garrison officers could be seen leaving the barracks and going to Königsberg After a while, Handner felt that he could no longer turn a blind eye to the situation, and he didn't care about it before, because Handner also felt that the officers were working hard, and it was not a big deal to indulge occasionally, but seeing that these officers became depressed the next day because of the all-night entertainment, the normality of the face army was greatly affected Hendner therefore decided to seal the camp, and from the time the order was given, all military personnel were not allowed to leave the camp without Handener's permission The issuance of this order has caused widespread dissatisfaction among the officers who have been singing every night in recent times, but after all, Handner is the highest general in the barracks, so the officers can only accept this order except for occasional objections Kleiman was shocked when he saw Handenner's sudden order to seal the camp, he thought that Handner had seen his intentions, so he would seal the camp, Kleiman felt that his time was running out, and he had to speed up his steps During this time, through smuggling operations on the border between East Prussia and Poland, Kleiman obtained from the Russians the arms he coveted, including 3,000 rifles and 50 cannons, which were successfully smuggled thanks to the great prestige of the Marquis of Morakot After the arms were brought into Königsberg, Kleiman felt that the time had come, and he again asked to see his father, the Marquis of Morakot, to which Kleiman advised: "Father, now that everything is ready, we are waiting for you to speak, now that the garrison outside the city has been bought by us, as long as you ascend to the heights, not only East Prussia, but the whole of Prussia will respond to your call" After listening to Kleiman's words, Morakot did not show his attitude, but sat there and stared at his feet, Kleiman saw that Morakot did not answer his words, and immediately became anxious, he shouted: "Father, what are you still thinking, the weapons have been transported to Königsberg, if you don't make up your mind, these weapons will sooner or later be noticed by the lackeys of the Hinterzollern family, so many weapons even if we don't have an accident, the royal family will not let us go, and then not only you and our whole family will suffer" Kleiman looked at his father anxiously after speaking, after Kleiman's words were finished, Morakot's face changed instantly, tight, Morakot bit his lip, after thinking for a few minutes, Morakot made up his mind, he stood up and whispered: "Well, in that case, Your Majesty, don't blame me" After finishing speaking, Morakot's originally tense face suddenly relaxed, and Morakot at this time turned back into the invincible commander of the year "Kleiman, you go and gather all the nobles in the city who support us now, and I will write you a few letters soon, and you can send someone to hand them over to some of my old friends."

Hearing Morakot's command, Kleiman was overjoyed, he answered loudly, and then turned to gather the nobles of the city Determined, Morakot returned to his bedroom and dragged out a box in the innermost part of his closet, which was so mottled that it was impossible to see the original pattern Morakot opened the box and took out a set of military uniforms inside, which was awarded to Morakot from his own military uniform after Frederick the Great inspected the whole army after the victory in the Battle of Silesia and saw Morakot's mottled clothes and shoes, which was the only one of his own military uniforms that Frederick the Great gave to his subordinates in his life Therefore, this military uniform not only represents the honor of Morakot himself, but also represents his recognition of Frederick the Great Morakot put on his military uniform lightly, and then stood in front of the mirror and saluted, Morakot seemed to see Frederick the Great riding a horse to inspect the majestic posture of the whole army that day, thinking about Morakot said to himself with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, don't blame the ministers, if there are ministers in the afterlife, they will follow you to gallop across the field" With that, Morakot put on his military cap, turned and strode towards the door, his back stretched long in the mirror By the time Morakot walked out of the room, his son Kleiman was already waiting for him, and Kleiman said happily: "Father, the nobles are waiting for you in the front parlor, and when they heard that you wanted to meet them, they were all very interested."

Kleiman's words didn't make Morakot's face fluctuate in any way, he just nodded with a hum, and then walked forward, Kleiman just followed Morakot Shortly after Morakot's secret meeting with the nobles, a group of soldiers belonging to the Königsberg City Guard appeared on the streets of Königsberg, and the soldiers were led by their respective officers towards different destinations The secret agent of the intelligence system said that the street was full of soldiers, and hurriedly wrote several secret letters, tied them to the legs of the carrier pigeon, and at the same time divided several groups of people to carry the report fast horse to run out of the city, and the carrier pigeon and the fast horse had just set off, the base of the royal secret agent was broken in, and a team of soldiers under the leadership of the officer broke in savagely This happened not only in the base of the secret agents, but also in the residences of some royal administrators in East Prussia It turned out that the commander of the city guard in Königsberg was Morakot's man, and Kleiman had asked him to claim the whole city, but he did not obey Kleiman's orders when he did not get Morakot's permission When Morakot summoned him and ordered him to immediately seal off the city and capture some people, he immediately obeyed Morakot's orders and went into action ~∷
