PROLOGUS
Spartacus Legionnaires with the captured Freikorps equipment and armored car. This very division, however, will soon become the infamous Schadelgesicht(1) subdivision of the Mensi(2) agency.
The dream of a stable, and safe Germany died within its infancy. There, Frederich Ebert(POD) lies dead, bleeding, as a bullet strikes his head-ending the would-be saviour of Germany's life in a instant. It was a bullet from the Spartacists. Or even, the monarchists. Or even a plot from the Freikorps. Nobody knew the truth, but it is a fact, that this move effectively doomed Germany to come. The SPD is effectively decapitated, and its head will not grew again for a very long time, as not even brilliant minds like Gustav Stressemann could save Germany from the upcoming doom that is awaiting for them. The Spartacists's struggle towards a democratic, people's state-does not go in line with what the SPD hoped for, and with the right-wing sentiment flying around, Germany is effectively doomed, when Ebert is shot. The assassination itself were something that could act as a flashpoint, with words of the assassin's true identity or allegiance being a mystery of its own, fueling the upcoming bloody civil war looming ahead of them. Words, truly kill. Just like the bullet that hit Ebert. The bullet that changed the world forever. No one could keep Germany intact now. No one. Not even the spirit of anti-communism-or the proletarian struggle could unite Germany, for now. Shot in front of the SPD office, no one knew why Ebert must took the bullet for Germany. With no clear explanation, it is a declaration of war-for every sides, with every possible evidences points to all parties involved.
The hour of reckoning eventually came. Within a day, the rumour is spread-about the nature of the assassination. The Weimar Republic is effectively in shambles. With the Freikorps refusing to answer to the government, and the Spartacists gaining the upper hand, the hour of reckoning made its way clear-that Germany had met its demise, and on 9th January 1919, the German Civil War have effectively begun. A three-way battle between the Communists, the Freikorps and the Republic-with the world lamented on how Germany's fall mimics Russia wholefully. Truly, one could only say..
Oh Ebert, You Just Took A Bullet For The World
