William II was almost too tolerant towards Hilde.
As long as Hilde didn't do anything to harm the empire, William II would not care about Hilde at all, even if Hilde wanted the entire Balkans.
All right.
William II didn't believe Hilde could do it at all. No one would believe Hilde's face when they saw her say she wanted the Balkans, even if Hilde really controlled Bulgaria and Serbia.
However, William II only warned Hilde not to cause trouble for Osman now.
At least not now.
After the war, the enemy Germany will face will be the Ottoman Empire, and at that time Germany will naturally dismember the Ottoman Empire.
After Hilde returned to Berlin, a lot of people came to visit her under various names. Not only did they want to know about Hilde's own influence, but they also wanted to guess William II's thoughts through Hilde.
Whether the war will be truly long-term or short-term will have an impact on the German army and domestic affairs.
Hilde naturally had no interest.
Until now.
Hilde was not interested in getting involved in the factional struggles among the German top leaders.
Hilde can ignore other people.
Hilde still had to listen to what William II said.
William II gave Hilde a new task.
The goal was to promote Hilde's image as much as possible, not only to raise war bonds, but also to encourage more Germans to join the army.
After the war started.
European countries tried every possible means to encourage young people to join the army. The British government also acquiesced to the women's white feather movement, which means that women give white feathers to men who do not participate in the war, degrading these men as cowards. The British people do not know yet what price they will pay for this in the future.
The German Empire was no exception. They needed a way to encourage young people to join the army, and Hilde's image had to be utilized.
to this end.
Berlin Palace invites the best marketing women in the United States.
Helen Byles Lansdowne Resor.
She is the advertising director of JWT in the United States. She emphasizes the use of senses and emotions to attract people, which is a perfect match for Hilde's beauty.
German Empire.
Berlin.
Sanssouci Palace.
"Can I tell you something, my Lord?"
"Please tell me."
"Excuse me, but from a close distance, your beauty makes me, a woman, feel moved."
Ms. Helen looked at Hilde with a fanatical look on her face.
It's hard not to suspect that he has some special quirks.
Hilde didn't care.
With her face and figure, there are many people who have never had any special thoughts about Tienantong. Even women are not the only ones.
However, Ms. Helen naturally did not have any special ideas. Doing advertising and marketing for an American company would only make her so-so no matter how famous she was. But if she was in the German Empire, doing advertising for the princess of this ancient land.
That will make her remembered throughout history.
"Ma'am, you look confident?"
"Yes, I believe I will make you trust me, and I will make you everyone's dream lover."
"Where did you go to college?"
This question was a bit difficult for Ms. Helen.
She could only apologize to Hilde.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't go to college. I started working after graduating from high school. But please give me a chance. I have never disappointed anyone who hired me."
"It doesn't matter. I didn't go to college either."
That is true.
Hield isn't even old enough to go to college yet.
But Hilde's words left Ms. Helen a little confused.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, Your Highness. Please forgive me, I am an American. We prefer to speak openly and honestly."
"Then... please go ahead."
"As you know, the royal family has an absolute monopoly on the production of any goods. For example, commemorative items such as coins, stamps and medals will be printed with portraits of royal family members. Germans will like these things very much, especially you, our most beautiful princess. These items can be sold for more than 50 marks. You don't need to worry about anything. I will create the best impression for you. For example, this is the porcelain I designed for you."
Ms. Helen took out a document from her bag.
On the coffee table in front of Hilde.
It can be seen that the professionalism is very high. Not only is the design very beautiful, but there are also many styles for Hilde to choose from.
"You mean to print my image on these and let the people of the empire pay for them."
"It sounds bad, but it's true."
Hilde didn't smile.
Instead, he talked about a nonsensical topic.
"Do you know what the first thing I did when I arrived in Berlin from Bulgaria?"
"What?"
"I have people collect photos taken of me by the Frankfurter Zeitung from all over the world."
"Why?"
Hilde stretched out her slender fingers, took the bone china cup off the table, and then picked up the mat underneath.
Her slender fingers looked whiter than porcelain.
"Ma'am, do you see this porcelain?"
"Typical royal items, very beautiful."
"No, I don't know where it comes from, and I don't know whether it is precious or ordinary. In my eyes, it is just
It's a common cup holder. And that's what I'm going to license."
"But it doesn't have your portrait on it."
"Ma'am, I have no image because I don't exist."
Hilde smiled.
"Can you understand? I don't exist, only Germany exists. And I'm not worth 50 marks, or even 5 horses.
I am worthless."
"I cannot understand, my Lord."
Ms. Helen couldn't help feeling a little flustered.
She originally thought that their meeting would be a pleasant process, after all, she was a teenage princess and she was also a successful woman.
Only when you really encounter it.
The little princess in front of her gave her an insurmountable gap.
"Of course you can't understand, so I suggest you go to a university in Italy or Spain. Of course, this is not your fault, it's America's fault."
Hilde continued.
"In America you learn to humble yourself, to be humble and approachable. But here we are all trying to raise our egos. Now I can tell you why I took back my photo. No German will see me because I don't exist."
"Excuse me, Your Highness, but as far as I know, the royal families of European countries are trying to portray themselves as close to the people.
The ladies of the royal family also visited the wounded in the hospital."
Ms. Helen retorted.
"Then please try to follow my thinking now, if you can do it."
"Your Highness, I'm following you!"
"Great, so first question, who do you think is the most influential spiritual figure in history?"
This question does not require any thought.
Ms. Helen answered directly.
"Jesus Christ."
"Just now, let us think about what made Jesus Christ so influential? Was it his wealth, his power, or something else?"
Ms. Helen thought for a moment.
"Divinity?*
"I think you have understood the point. In each of our hearts there is an invisible thread that connects us all to Jesus Christ. What is it that connects every German?"
"like?"
"I don't know, but I'm not Jesus Christ, and I'm not proud enough to compare myself to Jesus Christ. But there is something that connects all Germans."
"My Lord, I am beginning to understand what you mean. No, I not only understand your idea, but I am beginning to like it.
Ms. Helen became excited.
"I'm sure you'll do a good job."
Hilde smiled.
Then get up and leave.
Ms. Helen immediately stood up.
She curtseyed toward Hilde.
I have to say.
She began to like Europe.
Hilde's request was crazier than she thought.
Jesus Christ emphasized that God loves the world. It is the love of Jesus Christ that connects all people together.
The visible lines make everything make sense.
Hilde wants to be Jesus Christ that's pure bullshit.
Hilde is only a human being.
There is no difference from other ordinary people.
But Germany is not. Germany is an abstract concept. This abstract concept can include all Germans.
So Hilde cannot exist, and all Germans see when they look at Hilde.
Not Hilde.
It's Germany.
