The flu virus sweeping the world has caused great headaches for governments of all countries, and the most troublesome is the countries participating in the war.

If you want to choose the most uncomfortable country among the warring countries, it must be Germany. Facing the influence of the Kiel sailor's uprising and the double impact of the influenza virus, the German government has actually been unable to maintain the situation.

In fact, Germany may still be able to resist one or two militarily with the Allies (currently its troops have retreated to the German-French border, in central Belgium). But the populace despaired of years of starvation and the prospect of no victory. Moreover, the propaganda used by the Allies in order to destroy the morale of the German people has also played a large role.

Among the many propagandas of the Allies, they all promised that Germany would not be punished too harshly as long as it surrendered. It was the people who couldn't bear the hunger, cold and despair, and had great expectations for the words of the Allied Powers.

So these emotionally dominated people thought, why can't this war with no hope be ended. The left-wing party, which has been advocating a truce, has the support of the majority of the population. And relying on the support of these people, these parties have grown sufficiently during this period.

After the naval uprising in Kiel, armed uprisings took place in Hamburg, Bremen, Leipzig, Munich and other places, so it is not difficult to understand. These insurgents also established Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, in reference to the possible repression of the army and the Russian Revolution.

And the most crucial uprising came from the capital Berlin. On September 8, under the call of the Spartacists (the predecessor of the German Communist Party), workers and soldiers staged a general strike and armed uprising in Berlin. On the 9th, Berlin workers and soldiers occupied the police headquarters, telegraph office, parliament, other important institutions and barracks. The leader of the Spartak League, Karl Liebkner, who led the uprising, announced the establishment of the "Liberal Socialist Republic" on the balcony of the palace. Together with Rosa Luxemburg, he founded the "Red Flag" and put forward the slogan of the struggle for the establishment of a "united German Socialist Republic".

The uprising in Berlin dealt the heaviest blow to Wilhelm II at the headquarters of the Spade army in Belgium. In the face of the uprising movement across the country, the German high-level knew that a truce was necessary.

However, the people's grievances against the current government must find someone to come to power to resolve their grievances. At present, the only candidate who can be accepted by the people is the leader of the Social Democratic Party, Friedrich Ebert. Only he can control the current restless situation in Germany.

Friedrich Albert was born in Heidelberg on February 4, 1871. His father was a tailor. He worked as a harness worker and made saddles in his early years. In 1891 joined the German Social Democratic Party. In 1893 he became editor-in-chief of the Bremmel National. In 1905 he was secretary of the Central Executive Committee of the German Social Democratic Party.

He is a very persuasive orator. Believes in trade unionism and is not much interested in Marx's ideological theory, and is more concerned with the improvement of workers' practical life,

As well as improving their social status and moral values. So he was a moderate Social-Democratic leader, always devoted to practical work and avoiding theoretical disputes.

And his outstanding work ability helped it to be the chairman of the German Social Democratic Party after the death of former chairman A. Bebel in 1913. Under his leadership, the status of the Democratic Party has improved significantly. Therefore, he is also the most suitable candidate to replace Germany at present.

However, Albert's promise to re-form a coalition government is also conditional. First, Germany needs to get the understanding of the Entente countries. In addition, the Kaiser must abdicate and cancel the title of German Kaiser, because the German Empire will be changed to a republic. In the face of Albert's request, the German high-level officials who were frightened by the massive uprising in the country fully accepted it.

After finding a candidate to succeed the government, in order to get the Allies to agree to Germany's request for a truce, Chief of Staff Ludendorff resigned and was replaced by William Groner.

After taking over the post of Chief of General Staff, General Glerner suggested to Kaiser Wilhelm II. In order to ensure that the emperor is not judged by the Allies, it is best to seek asylum in a neutral country. The most suitable country at present is the Netherlands, which has always remained neutral. Because he is related to Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, and the two are better.

And Glerner assured the Kaiser that, under Field Marshal Hindenburg, the Germans would retreat to Germany without suppressing the revolution. Wilhelm II saw a model soldier who firmly supported the emperor, and Marshal Hindenburg also tacitly took a tacit attitude towards it. I feel like I'm over. Then Wilhelm II drafted his edict of abdication at the Spade army headquarters.

The full text is as follows; I permanently relinquish all power as King of the Kingdom of Prussia and Emperor of Germany at the same time. At the same time I relieve all civil servants of the German Empire and Prussia, all officers, sergeants, naval units, Prussian army, and all military units that have sworn allegiance to me as Emperor of the Reich. I hope they can help those in real power in Germany to protect the German people against the looming dangers of anarchy, starvation and foreign domination until a new order in the German Reich is established.

After announcing his abdication to the whole country, William II and his family immediately issued an asylum application to the Netherlands. The Dutch government, which has always been neutral, accepted the application, and William's family rushed to Amsterdam without stopping. Here, Queen Wilhelmina set up a manor in Doron for William II in order to provide him with a place to live. For the rest of his life, Wilhelm II would live here.

For the uprising in Germany that forced the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the Allies gave positive comments. In The Times, the Kaiser's abdication was commented that this megalomaniac, war madman, finally slumped from his evil throne, gave Germany a new lease of life. The German people now finally know that everything they have encountered was given by the culprit, and now the world will return to peace.

When Eder heard the news of the Kaiser's abdication, he called the captain of the bodyguard: "Send 10 million lei to the Kaiser in the Netherlands."

"I heard that the German government has not yet confiscated the royal family's property. They should have no shortage of funds. And if it is sent like this, will they accept it?"

Facing Carrust's words, Edel sighed and replied: "I know they have no shortage of funds, but my Uncle William and I are both the Hohenzollern family, although they are the main line, we are the side branch. This is On behalf of my heart, they will accept it."

Edel's words dispelled the chief guard's doubts, and he immediately said, "Okay, Your Majesty, I'll have someone send it to them."

"Go."

After sending off his chief guard, Edel sighed. "Next, it's time for Germany to truce and negotiate. Hey Germany, are you ready to accept the punishment of defeat?"
