In fact, it is good enough for Hilde to achieve this level.
Even if Hilde does not go to Germany, as long as Silistra holds on for a while, Germany will begin to interfere.
General Kutinchev has already granted Hilde the rank of major. Even King Ferdinand I cannot do anything to Hilde. As long as she continues to do so, Hilde will rise steadily in the Bulgarian army.
only.
Once the path to power begins, there is no stopping it.
A mere major was far from enough to satisfy Hilde.
As Hilde said.
The biggest reason why he was promoted to major was that the war was brutal enough, so brutal that it turned the whole of Silistra into hell, so brutal that General Kutinchev had to ask Hilde for help even at the risk of her being a spy.
One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.
Now Silistra has already died, unless there is a bigger war.
It will be difficult for Hilde to continue to advance.
And the power that Bulgaria can provide to Hilde is also very limited.
We can only turn our attention to the vast German Empire.
As Hilde's adjutant.
Angelina is eligible to go to Berlin with Hilde.
This was specifically requested by General Kutinchev as part of the surveillance of Hilde, although Angelina was a little unreliable.
But it's impossible to send a male adjutant, right?
Angelina was still very excited about this matter.
Growing up in a Bulgarian officer's family, it is impossible not to yearn for Germany.
You have to know that the German Empire and the Ottoman Empire are different.
What is the Ottoman Empire? It is on the verge of extinction, in a state of decline, and being beaten by Italy.
What is the concept of the German Empire?
It is one of the most powerful empires in the world.
In preparation for traveling to Germany.
Angelina specifically asked the logistics department for the best military uniform, and was promoted from a second lieutenant to a first lieutenant. She was strictly required to stand or sit in a certain position. This time, she was absolutely not allowed to show off her uniform like she did in front of Hilde last time.
The Bulgarian army was disgraced.
Hilde was more casual, still wearing the same military uniform, but with Hilde's face, it didn't make much difference what she wore.
It was actually quite troublesome to travel from Bulgaria to Berlin in those chaotic times.
Normally.
You need to go from Silistra to Ruse, from Ruse to the capital Sofia, and then take a train from Sofia to Serbia
Belgrade, the capital of Asia, from Belgrade to Vienna, the capital of Austria, and from Vienna to the capital of Germany
Berlin.
In this way, the daylily will become cold.
But you can go directly through the diplomatic channel.
For example, if we contact the German Embassy in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, we don't know how the German Embassy can come up with large transport aircraft in this era.
Remember, it's still 1913.
Commercial aviation had not yet emerged.
The earliest commercial airline was Lufthansa in 1926. Currently, aircraft are mainly used for military reconnaissance or to carry a small number of passengers or cargo.
After arriving in Bucharest.
You can take a train to Vienna, and then from Vienna to Berlin.
When Angelina was sitting in the train and looking outside.
You can easily feel the gap between Bulgaria and Germany.
Even the road infrastructure in Bulgaria is not complete, and potholes can be seen in some places. The only means of transportation on the streets are horse-drawn carriages, carts, bicycles and pedestrians. There are cars, but only the rich and powerful can afford them.
Most of the pedestrians on the street were wearing very simple clothes. The poor people were wearing worn-out and patched clothes. The literacy rate was only 20% of the total population. During the war, it was extremely difficult to survive.
When you look at the streets of Berlin, you can clearly feel the incomparable difference between the Balkans and the German Empire.
It can be said that poverty and suffering are rampant in the Balkans.
The infrastructure of Berlin's streets is extremely complete. Trams and vehicles can be seen running on the streets, and horse-drawn carriages are a romantic symbol of the aristocratic knight class. The male pedestrians on the street are all wearing ironed suits without a single wrinkle, while the women are dressed more fashionably.
Its literacy rate has reached 95% of the total population, second only to the British Empire during the same period, and the unemployment rate has almost dropped to zero.
Compared to poor countries where even eating is a problem.
The per capita meat consumption in the German Empire had reached 56 kg.
Showed the world what a prosperous empire should look like.
Whether in education, culture, economy or military, it stands at the top of the world.
Germany.
Brandenburg.
Berlin.
With the screeching sound of the train's brakes, we finally arrived in Berlin, Germany.
The German welcoming staff were very respectful.
Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, Chancellor of the German Empire.
Reich Foreign Minister Gottlieb von Jagow.
Imperial General Anton Ludwig Friedrich August von Mackensen.
Wilhelm Eitel Friedrich Christian Karl von Prussia, second son of Emperor Wilhelm II king
They are all giants who can shake the world with just a flick of their fingers.
One sentence.
An order.
It can affect the birth, aging, illness and death of countless people.
From the prime minister to the minister, from the general to the prince, to welcome a Bulgarian ambassador, at least Hilde was nominally
The representative from Bulgaria came first, which shows that Germany is giving Bulgaria a lot of face.
It turns out.
This is purely Angelina's overthinking.
The welcome was just a very polite formality, and then the German Foreign Ministry arranged for Hilde to live in the Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam.
One of the German royal palaces, it is comparable to the Palace of Versailles in France. Although no royal family members currently live here, most of the royal family members live in Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin.
If I hadn't made up some knowledge before coming here.
Then Angelina might be silly and happy.
Now.
Angelina understood.
According to normal diplomatic etiquette, German senior officials would come to greet him, then have dinner together, hold meetings and discussions, go sightseeing and cultural activities, and then Germany would host a banquet in the evening. Even if Germany attached great importance to it, at most William II would personally host the banquet.
But this time, Germany did not observe diplomatic etiquette at all.
certainly.
It's not that the German side didn't take it seriously, otherwise the Prime Minister wouldn't have come out in person to greet her and let Hilde live directly in the Souci Palace.
The meaning of arranging Hilde to live in Wuyou Palace is very simple.
Hilde is German.
No matter who Hield represents.
Whatever Hilde was here to do.
They just want to make one thing clear: this is the Germans' own business. Whether to support or not, to interfere or not, is the Germans' own business and has nothing to do with the Bulgarians.
Bulgaria's life and death.
Nothing to do with Bulgaria.
In a sense, it represents the arrogance of the Germans.
Angelina finally understood how compassionate Hilde's eyes were. When Angelina prepared for a long time, she crammed a lot of diplomatic knowledge, put on the best military uniform, and was strictly required to sit and stand in etiquette to avoid being looked down upon by others.
Actually.
Others don't even look at you.
Potsdam.
Sanssouci Palace.
Just when Angelina was alone in her room.
Someone knocked on Angelina's door.
"No, Major, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Angelina was stunned when she looked at Hilde.
Because Hilde finally changed out of that military uniform.
Changed into a black evening gown.
Her long white hair was tied up behind her head, and she wore ruby earrings that matched her ruby eyes.
It was a black backless evening dress, showing her smooth white back, and her slender arms were covered with black silk long gauntlets.
If you raise your hands, you should be able to see smooth armpits and side breasts.
Hilde held a letter between her slender fingers.
"I want you to deliver a letter for me."
"A letter? To whom?"
"Just send it to the post office."
"Will you let me go? Wouldn't it be inconvenient? I mean here."
Angelina said cautiously.
You have to know that this is the imperial palace.
Angelina was just a small lieutenant, and any gatekeeper around her had a higher rank than her.
It's really hard to justify not being timid.
"You are my adjutant. There will be no inconvenience."
Angelina's eyes widened.
Immediately took the envelope from Hilde.
"Yes! Sir, I promise to deliver it immediately!"
Finished.
Angelina ran out happily.
In Angelina's view, this was the gentle, kind and considerate Major Hilde, who specially assigned her the task after considering that Angelina was in a bad mood.
In fact.
Angelina overthought.
On the ladder of power that Hilde stepped on step by step.
Angelina isn't even worthy of Hilde bowing her head.
only.
This is the imperial palace, so it's not possible to let other people deliver the letter.
Hilde just happened to value Angelina and no one cared about her at all.
That's why Angelina was asked to deliver the letter.
As for the content of the letter.
It's actually not particularly important.
Just a letter to my separated housekeeper.
The content is to let him go to the United States, and he himself will not go there.
Hield has never appeared in the public eye, and no one even knows of Hield's existence.
But the butler is different.
Just find Hilde's butler.
Then Hilde's identity is about to be revealed.
Hilde's identity is not a shocking secret, and it can even be said that there are some benefits to exposing it. However, in Hilde's ladder of power, if she can always keep her identity mysterious, it will make it easier for Hilde to plunder power.
