The first update

A lonely figure in Sanssouci Palace walked through the corridor, and when he saw the light at the door, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, and rushed towards the glimmer of sunshine, like a bird that had been imprisoned for a long time was freed, spreading its wings and embracing hope. However, just as he was about to step out of Sanssouci Palace, William I's attendant appeared in front of Garion from an unknown corner and blocked his way. Five people surrounded him, as if surrounded by police, a prisoner with no way to escape.

The guard at the head looked at the French man in front of him helplessly, fearing that he would accidentally slip under his nose.

"I'm sorry, Lord Garion, but according to His Majesty's orders, you can't step out of Sanssouci Palace."

was caught by someone, and the scene was slightly embarrassing for a while.

"Ahem."

Garion coughed twice and said, "I've been in the room for a long time, and I didn't mean anything else when I came out for a walk." King William's gracious invitation, how could I be so unkind? ”

"Please don't embarrass us, you're trying to break out of the palace for the fifth time," he explained to him in broken French. Even if you go out, there are still the king's guards outside, and you can't escape. ”

The squire who prevented Garion from leaving shook his head helplessly, they didn't know why King William had put such a guy to hang around in Sanssouci Palace. The most important thing is not to let him leave here. This is also a headache for the guards of Sanssouci Palace. Garion seemed to have made up his mind to get out of here. Escape from here no matter what!

Returning to Paris was the only thought on his mind! Never be imprisoned for the rest of your life.

"Uncle Garion, why did you leave Sanssouci Palace?"

A childish voice sounded from behind him, and Garion suddenly turned his head to see the young prince standing behind him. When the attendant behind him saw his appearance, he immediately showed a respectful attitude and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness William." ”

Garion was stunned for a moment, looked at the immature face, and the familiar name came to mind: Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert von Hohenzollern.

The future German emperor, the initiator of the First World War, the ruler who dragged Germany into the abyss.

Faced with this man who was going to drag Germany and Europe into hell in the future, Garion squeezed out a smile and whispered, "Hello Your Highness. ”

When Prince William faced Garion, he deliberately turned his body sideways, highlighting his functioning right hand, and covering his authorized left hand, trying his best to disguise himself as a normal person in front of him.

Because he was born with a breech birth, he suffered from Elb's palsy, which caused his left arm to atrophy. In Garion's images, Wilhelm II is often shown wearing gloves on his left hand to make his left hand look more slender, and he also likes to use his left hand to lean on a sword or a cane to make himself look more decent.

"Your Excellency is the one who arranged for my father, and I can tell my grandfather if I am dissatisfied. Grandpa is very fond of the books you write and often puts them in the study to read. ”

Garion was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Prince William to explain the details so honestly. also vaguely understood his intentions. The book "1984" is too explicitly written, showing the core of the hidden social contradictions, and what makes William I care the most is the so-called governance method given by Galian, which is deeply affirmed by King William. That's why Prussia sent Garion to Berlin in every possible way.

Empress Victoria is trying to instill in William II a passion for the sea, England and freedom, trying to replace the busy military Crown Prince Frederick in charge of raising the child, but William I is also trying to exert his influence to raise him to become the next "butcher of the Prince of Shotgun." Thus, in the years that followed, Wilhelm II was exposed to complex values in his home-schooling, which was mainly carried out by nannies, governesses, and parents themselves. Contradictory personalities are also formed.

Cowardice and paranoia coexist as one.

Wilhelm II was impulsive and reckless by nature, and failed to remain rational in German foreign policy. He had a love-hate relationship with his cousin, who ruled England, and England. For William, a conflict with Britain was unimaginable, but then an arms race broke out between Britain and Germany.

"I like Prince William too, but I'm French."

"I'm going to go back to my homeland," replied in standard German, "and Prince William will have to face his own fate in the future." Become a king. ”

He listened to Garion as if he didn't understand, not knowing how to answer.

"Prince William, there are some things you are too young to remember after I said them, but one thing you must remember is that war will only drag Prussia into the abyss, and will not bring glory to the Hohenzollerns."

"Why do you say that?"

Prince William blinked, with the simplicity and simplicity of a child, and replied, "But my grandfather said that our country is built on an order of iron and blood. ”

"Not all problems can be solved by fighting, and there are many truths that you don't understand now, but you just need to remember Uncle Garion's words. Even the entire North German Confederation did not have the strength to swallow Europe, the era of the First French Empire had passed, and the era of unified Europe was over. The glory of Napoleon I cannot be copied and cannot be copied. ”

"Isn't it too early to tell a child about these big things?"

Garion looked up and saw Prince Frederick standing beside him, crouching down with his arms outstretched, and Prince William happily threw himself into his father's arms.

"As a child of a royal family, they are always precocious than their peers, and the more they know now, the better it is, after all, they are responsible for the fate of the whole country."

Galian didn't have much aversion to Crown Prince Frederick, an enlightened and free monarch who was completely different from his father.

Crown Prince Frederick held Prince Wilhelm in his arms and held him in his chest, and he saw Garion in front of him and asked, "But I'm curious why you say that war can't achieve the goal of making Germany strong?" So far, everything we have gained has been achieved by war, not by the handouts of others. Like the Habsburgs, the Hohenzollerns disdained the acquisition of land through marriage. ”
