This is the spirit of our great Germany!
Wilhelm II said these words, and then said to Hindenburg: "Mr. Marshal, you can announce the commendation for Lieutenant Ernst Brahm."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hindenburg responded respectfully, and then turned around: "Lieutenant Ernst Brahm, in recognition of your outstanding performance in the Battle of the Somme, you will be awarded the Second Prize. The Iron Cross of the First Class will be awarded to you, and you will be promoted to the rank of captain. Since Major Dunsivi has other tasks, you will act as battalion commander of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment. The glory will be with you."
"Glory goes with Germany." Wang Weiyi responded loudly.
But not only him, but all the Germans around him were a little disappointed. Is it just that he was awarded another Iron Cross First Class and then promoted to captain?
No one in the whole of Germany, no, the whole world, could accomplish the miracle that Ernst Brahm performed, and no one would be dissatisfied if he was promoted to major.
To do so is obviously unfair to Ernst Brahm.
"Captain Ernst, do you have any complaints?" William II asked at this time.
"No, Your Majesty, no." Wang Weiyi's answer was still so calm: "I said that fighting for Germany is not for any reward, but for honor."
William II nodded: "General Galwitz and General von Bello both recommended that you be promoted to major. Marshal Hindenburg and General Ludendorff also thought so. However, after long thought, I decided to He personally interfered and only awarded you the rank of captain. Ah, I think some of you here must have scolded me. What a foolish king. He actually personally interfered with the award of a German hero. He only deserves to stay in the palace and look at the map. Having sweet dreams..."
Some chuckled, but some smart people began to think that maybe things were not that simple.
William II looked deeply at Wang Weiyi: "I have a manor outside Berlin, the Alexon Manor. It is not very big, and I have been idle there. So I want to reward you with this manor."
It's a bit puzzling. What's the use of suddenly rewarding Wang Weiyi with a manor?
But suddenly some Germans began to understand something...
"I really want to give you a fief, Captain Ernst Brahm, but this is a very complicated matter." William II still said calmly: "You have to know that now is no better than before, even if it is It is quite troublesome for an emperor to give his subjects a fiefdom. I also want to send you to the front line as soon as possible to win continuous victories for Germany, so I cannot let you stay in Berlin for a long time and involve so many cumbersome things. In the little things..."
Now, more people know what His Majesty the Emperor wants to do.
Even Wang Weiyi's heart was beating loudly. Is his fantasy really going to come true?
William II slowed down his tone: "From now on, Alexon Manor will be your fief. Although a manor and a fief are completely different, these can only be simplified during the war. When we win, I will definitely I will help you find a fief. Baron Ernst Alexson von Brahm, are you willing to accept this manor?"
Baron Ernst Alexson von Brahm!
William II actually conferred a civilian title!
A burst of whispers rang out among the guests. What was so surprising was how many years had it been since Germany had no civilian knighthood?
This is simply unimaginable in Germany, which has a strict hierarchy!
What does it mean to be knighted and become a noble? This means that from now on, Baron Ernst Alexson von Brahm will enjoy all the rights of a noble. Even if he is promoted in the army, even if his military exploits are not great, the speed will be much faster than that of his colleagues. !
There are too many benefits that are difficult to explain at once...
Wang Weiyi was also a little confused. He had just thought about it before, but now it actually came true. He turned into a German baron.
"Aren't you willing to accept this title?" William II asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I am sincerely afraid." Wang Weiyi took a deep breath: "I am willing to accept it, and I will regard this as the greatest honor in this life. Long live Germany, long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live Germany, long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Everyone shouted after him.
William II took a glass of wine and raised it high: "For Germany, for Baron Alexson, and for more miracles!"
"For Germany, for Baron Alexson, and for more miracles!"
His Majesty the Emperor's words completely ignited everyone's passion, and the hall was filled with earth-shaking shouts.
What an incredible scene.
Wang Weiyi still hasn't realized what happened.
But there was no need for him to react. The huge cheers explained everything well.
This is a joyful moment, a time worthy of celebration by all. The banquet started soon, and there was no doubt that only two people were the most eye-catching in this grand banquet:
Wilhelm II, and Baron Ernst Alexson von Brahm!
It goes without saying that His Majesty the Emperor, and Wang Weiyi, who was just promoted to Baron, has undoubtedly become the favor of many young girls at the banquet.
Obviously, for a single nobleman and a famous hero in Germany, it would be very attractive to spend time with him or even become his wife.
Baroness Alexson? This name sounds really good.
People like Manstein and Richthofen expressed their congratulations to him. At least now, Wang Weiyi was on an equal footing with these two young nobles in terms of status.
Guo Yunfeng also received a commendation and was appointed sergeant. It is already a remarkable achievement for a foreigner to obtain the rank of Sergeant in the German Army. At the same time, he was also awarded the Iron Cross Second Class.
However, Guo Yunfeng couldn't get enough of the Sergeant or the Iron Cross. In his opinion, it was not as beneficial as giving him some money.
He just ate something hastily, and then half-heartedly proposed to go back to the hotel first. There were Germans here, and he couldn't understand a word they were saying. They were completely incompatible with this place. It was no wonder that he didn't want to stay here anymore.
Adolf Hitler also planned to go back. He seemed too small among so many big shots.
Wang Weiyi nodded and asked Manstein to find someone to send them out of the palace.
At this time the dance also started.
