Berlin city dialect.
A palace in the classical Baroque style, but Hilde doesn't like this beige design style. She doesn't know who started the trend in Europe. She likes to paint the castle in yellow and red, which looks old-fashioned.
Isn't Neuschwanstein Castle bad?
But that's not the point now.
The focus is on Wilhelm II.
If you want to meet the emperor of a powerful European empire in Europe, it is more troublesome to go through diplomatic channels. Of course, there are easier ways, such as going directly to the Berlin City Palace to find William II like now.
No more.
Especially coming with a crown prince and a prince.
At this time, William II was walking with a woman, who was the wife of William II and the mother of Prince Ettel and Crown Prince William.
The name is a bit long.
August Victoria Friedrich Louise Feodora Jeanne von Schleswig-Holstein-Zonderburg-Augustenberg.
Often called Queen Auguste.
However, when looking at the menacing Prince Ettel, Crown Prince William and Hilde who came with him, Queen August felt a little confused. She knew that it was a troublesome thing, especially this kind of thing. Family conflicts spill over into politics.
Queen August spoke.
"It seems that I need to leave for a while, Ettel, you can have a good talk, but remember that you are all family."
Then he nodded slightly to Hilde.
Queen Augustus left with her maids.
Only William II, Crown Prince William, Prince Eitel and Hilde were left in the courtyard.
William II wore a military uniform.
He didn't care about his eldest son and second son at all.
But I saw Hilde at a glance,
He had his left hand behind his back, a pipe in his mouth, and walked to Hilde without any airs.
"Show you the royal monkey show."
Then he raised his head and looked at Crown Prince William and Prince Eitel.
"You guys start."
"Father, do you think we came here just to have a boring quarrel?"
William II immediately shook his head, picked up his pipe and pointed at his eldest son, Crown Prince William.
"I don't object to your opinion, he does."
"But it is you, father, who really makes the decision. Bulgaria has proven to us that they have enough blood.
They can defend the attack of the five countries, are we not even as good as them? We must intervene in the Balkans, we must
We must prove to the world the iron and blood of the German Empire!"
"Etel, we don't need to prove anything. Peace is the theme of the world today. We don't need to fight for Palestine."
Things in Ergan start a war. When the war starts, everything will get out of control. The economies of all countries in the world are closely connected.
In the case of contact, no matter who initiates the war, the final outcome will be lose-lose. "
"Put away your disgusting words and tell me what Prussia relies on to become the most powerful in Europe.
Empire? Is it by negotiating with others? Is it by love and peace? If you really have the ability, you should win the Thirty Years' War
Talk about peace when the time comes, instead of talking about peace with us now!"
"It is because the Thirty Years' War was wrong and barbaric that we cannot repeat the mistakes of the Thirty Years' War. Etel, what I hope is that you understand this truth, whether it is the Thirty Years' War or the Seven Years' War , What did Prussia get? Except that the people were in dire straits and corpses littered the fields, we got nothing!*
"So in order to avoid that, we should give up all our interests. The great German Empire made fertilizers, but the biggest beneficiaries were Britain and France. The great German Empire made dyes, and the biggest beneficiaries were Britain and France. Every time Germany The biggest beneficiaries of great innovations that change the world will always be Britain and France. We have no oil, no bird droppings, no rubber, and no resources! How long do you want to stay in this endless cycle?"
"It is precisely to avoid these things that we are constantly making diplomatic efforts. Prime Minister Bateman has proposed to start establishing a European customs union, instead of falling into a so-called trade war or a more tragic war."
"How long will it take, ten years, twenty years, thirty years, until even the interests of the Balkans have been carved up, until the declining Ottoman Empire is conquered by the British, until all of us are locked on this land? That bastard Bateman is a spy sent by the British!"
"Etel, after the war started, it was not you who got hurt, it was our people."
"I will also tell you that I am not a coward who only hides in the rear. I am a Prussian soldier. When the war begins, I will be with my soldiers. I will be at the forefront. If I take even half a step back , my soul will never be able to travel to Valhalla!"
"Put away your childish thoughts, Eitel, you are not the only one who loves Germany deeply, we do too, but we choose a more peaceful way, but when war is inevitable, we will take the lead, but it does not mean that we War should be encouraged, we should avoid war!"
It turns out.
Even if they are crown princes and princes, they are no different from ordinary people when they quarrel.
The quarrel between Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Ettel.
Represents the contradiction between the two factions in Germany.
situation faced by Germany.
It can be said that whether one person or one foreign policy can be changed, it is the entire 19th century and the entire first century.
The second industrial revolution and the resource dilemma accumulated over the years. As a late-developing industrial country, faced with the colonial occupation by Britain and France,
land.
Germany's national system is moving step by step towards war.
It can also be seen that the influence of this factional dispute is far-reaching. If the policy is changed, it may be accompanied by Prime Minister Bateman.
All levels will have to be dismissed, and the entire German Empire will be shaken. It is definitely not something that can be turned around with just a word.
Spend.
When Crown Prince William and Prince Ettel quarreled.
German Emperor Wilhelm II.
Already left with Hilde.
It was obvious that they were used to quarrels.
William II is wearing a military uniform full of glory, standing upright with his left hand behind his back, making people unable to resist
What I want to complain about is, isn't it still hot in August?
"General Bello came to see me two days ago. He told me everything about Bulgaria, including yours, but... what he said didn't match up with the previous one."
"This is not the fault of General Bello. Things in Bulgaria are indeed difficult to explain."
"I think you can explain it clearly."
"It's actually not complicated. From my perspective, Bulgaria suffered a disastrous defeat in the war. I just revealed some information.
Information to the Bulgarians, such as the location of the Romanian attack on Bulgaria, may cause the plague. "
"How did you know?"
"Do you believe me when I say I'm a genius?"
William II couldn't help laughing.
Even if the current William II looks like Jane's father, even if William II's evaluation in history is a little bit bad.
He still holds the highest authority in this land.
He stopped.
Turning around to look at Hilde.
"You can start now. Convince me, Hilde, and I will give you the power to destroy the Balkans."
