Chapter 1 The Second Family in Germany

Wander around Wilden ****** Castle and admire the reliefs and paintings hanging from the walls. Once again, Sun Yu had a sense of confusion, and he repeatedly compared the similarities and differences between the castle in 1889 and the castle 125 years later. In 1880 on this plane, his soul came into this world. And now, he has been in this world, in the Bavarian Wittelsbach family for almost 10 years!

"But it's a good thing, at least on this plane, I have experienced power and luxury that ordinary people can't believe. and a sense of being part of the tide of history, rewriting and influencing history. Sun Yu smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth. After 10 years in the royal family, he has now adapted to the role of Ruprecht Maria Lütpole Ferdinand, the eldest grandson of the Prince of Bavaria, the future crown prince and head of the family of Bavaria.

To be honest, Sun Yu's crossing was still very successful, at least from a very noble background. Whether it is material, political status, or even military strength, you can get rid of more than 9 percent of the traverser predecessors! The Bavarian royal family is the second largest family in Germany, and the only ones who are higher than it are the Hohenzollern family of the German Emperor. Even throughout Europe, the Wittelsbach family was at the forefront of the great aristocracy.

As for his body? It is also famous in history! German Field Marshal of World War 1, commander of the Bavarian Corps, commander of the Sixth Army at the time of the implementation of the Schlieffen Plan. It has more than 200,000 troops and nearly 800 artillery pieces. And successfully withstood the offensive of the French on the Western Front. Since then, he has been the commander of the German Army Group level, and in the Battle of Flanders in 1918, the forces under the control of Ruprecht **** reached its peak, with the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 17th in his hands, a total of 4 army groups! 83 divisions of combat units! And formed an army group named after him! If such a huge scale is put into the 2nd battle, then at least it is at the level of Manstein and Zhukov!

As a mechanical graduate, and an amateur military and history enthusiast, Sun Yu feels a lot of pressure when he thinks about the historical actions of his "predecessor"! From a small man in peacetime to a marshal, this distance seems to be described as a long march! However, this guy also had his heroic twilight moments, he was known as one of the most capable generals of all the German royal family, (note, yes, and even more NB) but with the defeat of Germany in World War 1, the German field marshal never had a chance to ascend to the throne that belonged to him. And in World War 2, because of comrades who opposed the Nazis, they also went to concentration camps. It was released after the end of World War 2. The first half can be described as a spring breeze, while the second half is more miserable.

As a traverser, it seems that there should be the idea of changing one's life against the sky and laughing at the world, but after ten years of traveling, Sun Yu didn't think so much, as a person who has a certain understanding of history, a better understanding of military history, and combined with what he has seen and heard in the past ten years, Sun Yu knows how difficult it is for him to change his fate! It was not Wilhelm II, who had a handicap, nor was it the son of Wilhelm II, but the Wittelsbach family, although NB, was confined to a corner of southern Germany.

It is true that the German central government generally does not interfere in the internal affairs of Bavaria, but hey, well, even his own grandfather, is the current number one Bavarian leader! The Regent of Louitpold could hardly have had a significant influence on the domestic and foreign affairs of the German Empire. (Aren't you BB party a little familiar with this name!) Yes, you guessed it, a certain Caesar-class battleship was named after him! )

So in the first year after the crossing, Sun Yu gave himself the goal of becoming a wealthy enough nobleman at least after World War 1, and the highest goal was naturally to obtain the crown that should have fallen on his head! If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone! It's best to be a king, and if you can't, you have to spend this life well! This is Sun Yu's goal, very realistic!

However, although the situation is very grim, there is still good news, I don't know if it is my own time and space changes or some metaphysical changes, history has undergone some deviations in the eighties of the nineteenth century, and the most gratifying of these deviations is that Wilhelm II, the bear child, did not ascend the throne in 1888! Now on the throne is his father Frederick III!

Frederick III, who had been a prince for 30 years and an emperor for 99 days, escaped the catastrophe after surgery in 1887. Although his health is still not good, he is firmly sitting in the position of the emperor! Sun Yu sometimes can't help YY, if the old emperor knows the history, will he have some benefits for himself? For example, a platinum medallion full of diamonds weighing a ton or something.

Of course, the reign of the simple old emperor is of limited significance, and the most important thing is that the iron-blooded prime minister also controls the internal and foreign affairs of the empire! And His Majesty the Emperor does not seem to have any intention of moving the Prime Minister, at least that's what the telegram from the Bavarian Plenipotentiary in Berlin reads! It is obviously best to have this genius who has been rare in Germany for hundreds of years to continue to be in charge of Germany's internal affairs and foreign affairs. Sun Yu even hoped that the prime minister would live a long life, or even stop fighting, and then wait for himself to take the crown safely in 1921! Well, that's good!

Of course, this thing is to think about it when it's okay, everything is always difficult to think more, and prepare to do better, although he is the eldest grandson of the king, but there is a **** father in front of him, a grandfather who is the regent. (The previous king of Bavaria died a little inexplicably, so the real power of Bavaria was the regent of Louitpold, and it was not until his son Ludwig III ascended the throne that he became the king of Bavaria, Sun Yu had to sigh, the water inside was so deep!) I am just 20 years old and don't jump out now, don't look at Bavaria is not big, not even half of Hebei Province, but there are really a lot of things in it, it's really annoying! Even though he is a human being in two lives, his current self is still a little difficult to deal with!

As a soldier, the young time-traveler thinks that he should start with both the army and farming, but in fact he does it! For example, tomorrow afternoon, he will discuss advanced combat postures with his uncle, a big man who is more NB than him. This morning, I want to report to my father about the results of my research in farming over the past few years! The seeds that were planted in 1883 are now finally about to blossom and bear fruit, and all the preliminary technical preparations and administrative work have been completed, and it is up to my father to pay for the promotion! At such a critical moment, how can Sun Yu not be nervous?
