"Prince, be careful!"

A personal guard shouted, and suddenly threw Prince down, and bullets flying from the British army flew over their heads.

"Ah..." Prince's scream came from the ground, and everyone was frightened, fearing that the prince would make something wrong. The guards immediately used their bodies to erect a thick wall of humanity in front of the prince, and the armored troops brought by Prince and the two nearby German infantry divisions also immediately suppressed the British army in front with fierce firepower. The unstoppable British people were immediately killed and injured.

"Your Highness the Prince! Your Highness the Prince!" The personal guards were horrified to find that Prince had fainted, but fortunately he had no blood on his body. It seemed that he had just fallen and injured when he was thrown off the horse.

"Hurry! Escort Your Highness the Crown Prince away from here!" The prince's personal bodyguard commanded everyone to transport the Crown Prince back to the rear, then turned his head and looked at the British not far away. They were already stunned by the German firepower.

"Damn British, no one left!"

In addition to the cavalry escorting the prince away, the remaining light cavalry drew their swords and roared towards the British. The British had lost organized resistance in the artillery fire of German tanks. Prince's guard cavalry successfully rushed into the British crowd, followed by a cruel massacre. In the British's screams, even the British commander Sir French was not spared.

The fighter squadron where Manfred was still hovering in the air, and their squadron leader was already sweating coldly at this time. The battlefield below was in chaos, all of which was caused by his blindly issuing offensive orders without knowing the situation on the battlefield. At this time, he did not know that the prince was injured, otherwise he would have fainted directly on the plane.

Manfred was still strikingly recalling what had just happened. After the fighter planes in front of him began to fire British soldiers, the formation of the British army suddenly became chaotic.

The already tense nerves of the British soldiers suddenly broke out. They believed that all this was a trap set by the Germans, so the soldiers began to shoot at the Germans in their sight, including German planes in the air and the submission troops directly opposite them, which directly led to Prince's guards knocking him down to protect him.

The German soldiers around were originally loading artillery bullets and were ready to prevent the British from cheating at any time. When the British opened fire, they naturally fought back without hesitation. Moreover, the German firepower was far above the British army, and all the British artillery was killed before they even had time to shoot.

The other pilots were also at a loss like Manfred. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the accident was caused by them. After hovering in a daze for a while, they returned with concern.

The news quickly reached Paris, and the German generals were shocked.

"How could this happen?"

Chen Tian was surprised by this because Prince did not inform other troops of the British surrender. However, even if the pilots were informed, it would be difficult for those pilots to get notified as soon as possible, and such a thing was really difficult to avoid.

"Accident, purely accident!" Hoffman's expression was very complicated. "It would be better if that person was dead, otherwise the result would be like the last London bombing. The good guys took advantage of the situation and put the hat of the plot on your head, His Highness the Prince!"

"I'm very worried about this, but this time we didn't know that this happened at all!" Chen Tian shook his head helplessly. Sometimes he really wanted to kill Prince directly, so as not to be suspected. However, in the war, any internal turmoil could destroy the advantages that Germany had worked hard to establish.

Hoffman also looked very depressed, "Those combat pilots were transferred from our legion to support the Western Front. Now, although they are directly commanded by the General Command of the West Front, the pilots are still affiliated with the East Prussian Legion Air Force in terms of military ownership!"

"This is really bad news. If those pilots belong to the Prince Army, we don't have to worry so much!" Chen Tian gradually understood that although the saying goes, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if you don't do bad things, once things involve politics, some things cannot be decided by personal wishes.

"I think the military court will make a clear decision, but if someone wants to frame it... Your Highness, do you remember the delay in the intelligence mobilization of the Russian Guards before? So far, we don't know who wanted to kill the East Prussian Legion. If that person comes out to make trouble again this time, we may have a headache!"

"Oh! Although all the clues are vaguely pointing to a giant behind the scenes, I still can't understand why he did this. Does the whole world want to kill me and our legion? If it weren't for the war now, I really want to..." Chen Tian felt increasingly that he had to learn from the poisonous snake, not only to be cold-blooded, but also to have two deadly fangs, otherwise it would be difficult to survive in this political environment.

"Wait until the war is over!" Hoffman gritted his teeth, whether loyal to the country or the individual, he made a difficult choice.

At the German airport 5 kilometers east of Paris, war eagles are taking off or landing in an orderly manner. There is no suspense over the battlefield, so the pilots are basically relaxed. Most of them hope that the French can produce more aircraft, because they will succeed if they take risks. They rely on accumulated flights in exchange for higher military ranks and coveted medals like now. They don’t know when they will be waiting.

On the west side of the airport, as soon as a small "hummingbird" fighter plane landed, a group of guys in gendarmerie uniforms came up. The pilots inside the plane seemed to have known this result, and no one was surprised or resisted. After they got off the plane, they followed the gendarmerie silently.

"What's wrong with them?" The other pilots and ground crew were very confused.

"I heard they opened fire on the British army!" The person who answered seemed well-informed.

Everyone was still puzzled, "Is there anything wrong with beating the British?"

"It seems that those British people have surrendered, I don't know exactly!"

"Oh..." The others seemed to have realized something, but they actually didn't understand anything.

Not long after, several cars stopped at the command entrance of the 8th Army. Chief of Staff Falkenhein hurriedly came out of one of the cars. He seemed very nervous.

As the person in charge of the Western Front, if something happened to the crown prince, he would have ended his position as Chief of Staff, which had not yet taken the hot position.

As soon as he entered the door, Falkenhein couldn't wait to speak, "Your Highness, you have heard about the prince's affairs! I am going to the location of the 5th Army to see the prince's injuries. Are you going together?"

"Well! I just heard that I was just thinking this way!"

It was better to come sooner than he had come by. Chen Tian ordered Hoffman: "If I am not here, please command me. Except for the special serious situation, you should just make your own decisions on small matters!"

Hoffman nodded, then watched the two of them leave in a hurry, and he sighed deeply.

It is only 20 kilometers from Paris to the location of the 5th Army, and it can be reached in half an hour.

"How is the prince's injury?" Chen Tian asked everyone's most concerned questions.

Falkenhein seemed worried about this, "I'm not very clear about the specifics. It is said that he is still unconscious!"

"Unincident? God!" Chen Tian didn't know whether to be glad or sad. The position of the German crown prince seemed to be waved to him, and the slander and scapegoat were also ready to move in the dark.

"There are also the pilots who caused the accident. I have asked the military police to detain them. This is their list." Falkenhein said, handing over a report paper with rows of names written in hand.

"Oh!" Chen Tian did not express any comment on this. In this case, it is normal for the parties to be investigated by the military court.

He took a simple look and his eyes suddenly remained on a line of letters.

Manfred von Richterhofen!

"God! How could this poor guy get involved in this matter!" Chen Tian really couldn't smile bitterly at this. If these pilots were sentenced by the military court, the legendary Red Baron might have to stay in prison until the war ended.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Falkenhein was a little surprised at Chen Tian's reaction. For a prince, it was unlikely to be familiar with each of his pilots.

Chen Tian shook his head, "I happened to know one of the pilots inside. It seems that these pilots are all from the air force of the East Prussian Legion, which means they are my people!"

These are facts that the two of them already know, but it has a different meaning when they say it from Chen Tian.

"It's regrettable, isn't it?"

"I think they were unintentional mistakes. After all, the Crown Prince did not report the situation of the British army to me immediately. This is a mistake that cannot be ignored!" Judging from Falkenhein's tone, he seemed to have decided to seize the prince's omission and make an effort. But he should also be very clear. If the German Emperor is really angry, it would be useless even if it is reasonable.

If Chen Tian and him stand on the same side, the two of them will have a much greater hope of protecting themselves, which is a favorable thing for both parties.

Chen Tian naturally understood Falkenhein's meaning.

After that, both of them were silently thinking about their own thoughts.

The sound of gunfire along the way was endless. It seemed that the development of the entire war situation was not affected by this accident. After the British army was completely wiped out, the encirclement was still gradually narrowing. The 100,000 French troops seemed to have no other way out, and other German troops were also crossing the river and pursuing the French army in an orderly manner.

When Chen Tian and his party came to the field hospital behind the 5th Army, they found that the atmosphere there seemed to be particularly solemn, and an invisible sense of oppression made everyone difficult to breathe.

The wounded in the entire hospital seemed to have been removed, with soldiers carrying guns and worried officers everywhere. Chen Tian and his party came to a tent with the most vigilant. From the gap in the tent, they could see a dozen doctors surrounding a bed.

"Your Highness the Prince! Chief of Staff!" A general who was blocking the door whispered to Chentian and Falkenhein.

"How is the prince?" Falkenhein asked with concern.

The general hesitated for a moment and signaled that a military doctor who was probably the person in charge of the hospital came out.

"Lt. Col. Rand, let me introduce the Prince's injuries to His Highness and the Chief of Staff!"

The military doctor turned around and looked into the tent, then said in a low voice:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is still unconscious for the time being. There are no serious injuries except for a few scratches on his body. After our examination, he suffered a violent shock in his head when he fell from his horse and blood stasis appeared in the back of his head. As for the specific injuries, we recommend that you wait until your Highness the Crown Prince's physical condition stabilizes and send it back to Berlin for detailed examination!"

"Your Highness the Prince's life is not dangerous!" Falkenhein asked carefully.

The military doctor shook his head, "It's hard to say how it will develop now. Maybe the prince will wake up tomorrow morning, maybe..."

Vegetative? Chen Tian was stunned. The matter is getting complicated now.

"Can we go in and see His Royal Highness?" Falkenhein asked in a consultative tone.

The military doctor looked at the general under Prince, but he did not object.

"Okay! But you can only stay for a while. The prince needs quiet and fresh air!"

Chen Tian suddenly felt that this sentence was funny. Can the dozen doctors bring the quiet and fresh air that the prince needs?

Anyway, he and Falkenhein walked over gently, and after the soldiers lifted the curtains of the tents, half a dozen doctors retreated.

There was only one bed in the tent, and there were various tools for checking the body on the table next to it. Prince, who was pale, was lying quietly on the bed, without any scars on his delicate face. It seemed that this unlucky guy was indeed on the ground with the back of his head.

Chen Tian stared at Prince's eyelids for a while. This guy was indeed in a state of sleep, but no one knew how long he planned to sleep. Chen Tian glanced at Falkenhein, and he shook his head helplessly.

"Let's go!" Chen Tian said softly, and then the two of them walked out of the tent silently.

"General, if there is any change in the situation of the prince, please inform us as soon as possible!" Falkenhein said to the general outside, and Chen Tian tried his best to remain silent in front of Prince's hands.

"Yes, Chief of Staff!" the man said respectfully.

"Well! I will report this to His Majesty the Emperor!" Falkenhein nodded, and then walked towards their car with Chen Tian.
