After returning to Berlin.
Hilde lived in Sanssouci Palace.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, there is no so-called witch of Silistra at all. All this is just a drama deliberately made up by Germany in order to interfere in the Balkans and by William II in order to make Hilde public.
Conspiracy theories never go out of style.
but.
Since returning to Berlin, Hilde has basically disappeared from the public eye and rarely appears in the public eye.
This is actually a very normal thing.
After all, Hilde is still a minor no matter what, and there is nothing wrong with an underage princess not making public appearances. Even if she goes to school, she will mainly rely on a tutor.
It is intriguing that William II usually took Hilde with him to highly political events.
For example.
November 8, 1913
Bavaria.
Munich.
Hilde followed William II to Munich to attend the oath-taking ceremony of the new Bavarian King Ludwig III
Things are a little more complicated in Bavaria.
Because he was the regent and deposed the king and became the king himself.
This may sound incredible in Europe, but in Europe, legal principles are above everything else.
Especially for a part of such a huge empire as Germany.
Stability is the most important thing.
To undermine legal principles is to undermine the stability of the empire. The larger the empire, the less it can accept undermining stability.
But it is generally accepted in Bavaria.
The old King Otto I suffered from severe mental illness, while the new King Ludwig III was extremely popular in Bavaria before he became king. During his tenure as regent, the media and all walks of life called on Ludwig to become king in his own right.
therefore.
Bavaria amended its constitution on November 4, 1913, adding a clause that provided that if the regency lasted for ten years due to incapacity and the king could no longer rule, the regent could end the regency, depose the king and inherit the throne himself with the consent of the legislature.
So Ludwig III legally became the King of Bavaria.
More importantly, it has historical significance.
This represents the end of the ancient king's rule and symbolizes the transition from the king as a nominal monarch to a modern constitutional monarchy.
A determined step.
certainly.
It has nothing to do with Hilde.
For Hilde, it was a rare opportunity to come to Munich, so she just came here to stroll around.
The Munich of the future will not be the same as the Munich of today.
As one of the most prosperous cities in Germany and Europe, it has also seen a variety of
There are moderate and extreme ideas.
However, in this era, more moderate ideas are naturally no match for more extreme ideas.
Bavaria.
Munich.
In a coffee shop on the street of Munich, people are coming and going around her, and Hilde is sitting alone in the coffee shop. Her upper body is a slim military style, and her lower body is a huge skirt similar to a windbreaker. The main color is pure white, and it is decorated with a black iron cross. Her slender feet are wrapped in black high-heeled boots.
Of course no one came to chat with me.
Looking at the two fully armed bodyguards standing behind Hilde, it became clear.
If you were in Munich in 1913.
You may meet many familiar faces from history.
A man with a beard, messy hair and gold-rimmed glasses.
Although he called himself a non-factional Social Democrat.
"You must be Miss Hildegard, right?"
"How did you guess it?"
"I don't think there's any need to guess. Wearing a military uniform and with the rank of major, looking pretty and accompanied by two bodyguards, who else could it be but you?"
"All right."
Hilde sat upright in the chair, her chin resting on her slender fingers.
"But isn't it bad for a married man to hit on an underage woman?"
"This is not a flirtation. Let me introduce myself again. You can call me 'I want to talk to you about dreams, poverty and war, and topics that humans have needed to explore for thousands of years."
The man sat opposite Hilde by himself.
Take the coffee from the waiter.
"Talk about your dreams with me on the first day we met?"
"right."
"And then you wanted to have sex with me the next day?*
The man was truly silenced by Hilde, even a social expert of his level was shocked.
He took a deep breath.
"Miss Hildegard, as a man, I must admit that your beauty is no less than that of Helen in the myth. I believe that someone would even start a Trojan War for you. But! To me, your charm is far from enough to be compared with the greatest cause of mankind."
"So you don't want to fuck me?
"That's not the point!"
The man emphasized.
"The key is the content of our conversation, whether you are interested in the Socialist Party, whether you are interested in Marx's theory.
Interesting?
"Not interested."
"Let me put it another way, Miss Hildegard. I am a war correspondent from the Balkan War.
If you can talk to me some time, I believe you would like to present your position in newspapers of different classes."
"It's not impossible."
The man didn't lie about this.
He was indeed a war correspondent during the First Balkan War, and it was he who recorded the Serbian army's attack on the Alps.
Ethnic cleansing of Baniya civilians.
Hield had no objection to the interview.
Although she is not allowed to publish her own photos, Hilde's appearance also has a strong political attribute.
Hilde took the initiative.
"Then, Mr. Trotsky, I have a question for you. Do you plan to become a brave man who saves the world?"
"Brave men are only stories in fairy tales, but I do want to save people."
"You are more arrogant than I thought."
"You can interpret it as confidence."
"What I see is arrogance. In your eyes, the people are so weak that they need to wait for your salvation."
"The masses have a feminine mentality. Have you read Mr. Le Bon's works? The people are just a mob. They are passive by nature, waiting for the strong to give them alms, and then choosing the best among them, especially the Russians. These people are like ladies from a noble family. They never take the initiative to take a step, but if a strong man appears, they will immediately fall at his feet. And I am that strong man, and I will come to guide them on the way forward."
"I can only see disdain and contempt on your face."
"Shouldn't people who tolerate tyranny for hundreds of years be despised?"
"In that case, why bother fighting for them?"
"Because I am tired of despising them. Despising them does not make me happy, but only makes me angry. I want to love them. I want to see people who are worth loving, to see beauty, fairness, and justice flowing on this land, just like your smile. There will be no more tyranny, injustice, and cruelty around me. Don't you want to see such a world?"
The man smiled.
"I want to see it."
The early twentieth century was the craziest and most extreme period in human civilization.
On the busy streets of Munich.
So said Trotsky.
Have to say
When it comes to eloquence, men are really amazing.
"That is, you think your love is powerful enough to conquer everything."
"Of course."
Hilde shrugged.
No answer.
"I've finished asking questions, it's your turn now."
"Then may I ask you why you are against the Socialist Party?"
"I am not against the Socialist Party. If I really want to talk about political opinions, I support the Socialist Party. But I cannot express my political views.
I have to be very careful with every word I say."
Hilde has no real power.
But Hilde has abstract power. For example, Hilde is now regarded as William II's agent.
It was an extension of the power of William II.
It is indeed not quite right to say that Hilde is the daughter of William II.
To be precise, it was the son of William II.
Just the gender is female.
Just like George V's son, Prince Edward of Wales, who said that the workers' conditions must be improved,
Directly confined to Buckingham Palace.
the man asked back.
"So what do you think?"
"War, tyranny, injustice, weakness, these are all because the pain is not enough. When the pain reaches a certain level, people
War is the best way. Only a war that covers everyone, all
A war that no one can escape from, a war that makes everyone suffer. Only then can this land be purified and people can return to their own land.
To the original purity.
The man was amused by Hilde.
"I don't agree with you, but I like what you say very much, especially about purity."
Hilde smiled.
"I know someone who also likes the wor
d purity."
"If someone can make you remember him, he must be a very interesting person. You must get to know him when you have time."
"He's also in Munich."
The man raised his teacup.
"For us who are pure and spotless in heart."
