1503 The wind rises 2

"I have the orders of the Eastern Front Command in my hand! All those with weapons in my hand will immediately gather in the open space on the left! I will give you 10 minutes. Those who have exceeded the time and do nothing will be regarded as enemies!" In a wild place outside Brest, a team of military police wearing Bohemian Legion uniforms surrounded a large group of civilian convoys from East Prussia, as well as casual Prussian armed personnel, who are considered as police-like characters, armed, but not entirely considered army!

In order to avoid fire from being fired, which leads to irreversible things, everyone's weapons are not loaded with live ammunition, but surrounded by several armored vehicles, the power of this military police force is still very strong! Especially under the premise that they are still in charge of the order of the highest commander of the Eastern Front.

"I am Captain Hill, and I ask to negotiate with the highest military commander here." A man in his 30s walked out of the crowd opposite. He handed his gun to the people next to him, and stretched out his hands to indicate that he had no weapons. After getting the other party's permission, he came to an armored vehicle.

"Well, the equipment is good. These people have finally freed their legs." Captain Hill walked slowly and looked at the troops surrounding him. Judging from the weapons, they were just ordinary military police equipment, but their vehicles were really a lot, enough to transport all people, and a completely mechanized army. To be honest, before he retreated from the front line, he had not seen a fully mechanized army in the entire East Prussian Legion! There were always some things that needed to be transported by four-legged horses, and most of the people had to move on their legs!

Captain Hill was not worried that this matter would turn into a bloody incident, because the above order was to escort immigrants into designated areas, which were occupied areas, and they also brought a hairy weapon! The weapons of all personnel were the minimum standards, and before seeing the other party, he had ordered everyone to withdraw the bullets. The other party was a military policeman. If there was a real conflict, it would be him who would be the one who would be finished! As a keen officer, he could clearly feel that although the other party was hostile, he had absolutely no intention of killing!

The keenness of the soldiers allowed him to accurately judge the situation, so the two sides' dismissal so far was normal. But he vaguely felt that he was in trouble, because, under normal circumstances, the Supreme Command of the Allied Powers would not mobilize the military police in the name of the command. On the Eastern Front, the Prussian Legion, the Bavarian Legion, the Austrian Legion and the Hungarian Legion all had strong independence. Generally, the military police of each legion were in charge of their own affairs and had never encountered such a situation like today.

"Captain, your men have crossed your jurisdiction and entered other troops' places, and to be honest, crossed the boundary. So, so far, you must obey our orders. We have the orders of the Supreme Command to supervise all troops!" The major opposite said to Captain Hill after understanding the basic situation.

"We just protect these immigrants from robbers. We did not intentionally invade these areas. Moreover, isn't this German territory?" Captain Hill said.

"First of all, this is the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! The Austro-Hungarian Empire Bohemia Legion is stationed here! This is our defense zone, not the defense zone of the German Empire! And your behavior is equivalent to an invasion! All of you will be detained, and everything you say will become a confession!" The major rebuked sternly!

"But this place was garrisoned by the Bavarian Legion not long ago!" the captain said loudly.

"However, you do not have the access certificate issued by the Bavarian Legion, but we have it! Okay, leave these words to those who are ready to listen to you! Now we are going to perform official duties!" The major who led the team did not intend to explain too much. After dividing the armed personnel and the immigrants into two groups and detained them to the others, the troops began to click toward the next accident!

The left-behind personnel of the Bavarian Legion and the Bohemian Legion were very neat, and in a very short time, all the people who crossed the border were detained. Naturally, some resistance would occur and some conflicts would break out. At this time, the reporters and photographers who accompanied the army would take photos of the military personnel attacked by immigrants, and then hand them over to the newspaper to be published in the front page of tomorrow!

"Remember, sometimes, a newspaper office is better than 3,000 Mauser rifles! This is the ammunition we can win this battle!" the prince wrote in his instructions.

While Bavaria was preparing to win this public opinion war, Shederman and others suddenly found that their people were invisible, not only the agitated personnel and the armed personnel of the troops, but even the journalists and media they prepared were silent as if they were sank to the sea!

There are no mobile phones in this era, and the fastest transmission speeds are telegrams and telephones. And those journalists who accompanied the immigrants to move in the wilderness naturally cannot have these things. Therefore, once the military decides to make efforts, these people without passes will definitely not be able to escape! Based on the principle of wrong arrest and wrong placement, all people of unknown origins are temporarily controlled.

If on the first day, this matter was still controlled in the handover area controlled by both sides, then on the second day, some areas controlled by the Prussian military also launched operations. They were required to strictly restrict the movement of non-military personnel. This was issued in the name of the highest command of the Eastern Front. It has the highest efficiency. Although the Prussian Eastern Front Legion is relatively independent, after all, Markensen and the prince have a good relationship, and the middle and senior officers below are considered happy to cooperate. The so-called "no matter" is not something that can be seen in the face of a monk and a Buddha's face. Whether you are looking at the command authority or the friendship between everyone in the past sharing a sausage in a trench. This "unimportant" thing is not worth tangling, anyway, it is just not allowing you to cross the border. It's no big deal.

However, just when the trouble broke out below, Fakingham did not understand this matter. Excluding that he wanted to separate the relationship between this matter and himself, Fakingham's own low control over the army was also a reason! Don't forget that Fakingham started on the Western Front, and was considered to have airborne to the Eastern Front, and was kicked to Konesburg by Markensen. He stayed here for less than a month! Without his own confidants, the people below were enough to undermine the general who came from the Eastern Front! Even if they did not deliberately resist, when the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, His Highness Ruprecht was sent, it was naturally obvious which order to execute!
