Chapter 17: The Royal Gene Bank
Time passed in a hurry, long before the restoration of Wilhelm III, the German states began to negotiate, and after several years of arguing, a preliminary agreement was finally reached.
On July 14, 1938, the German Bundestag was reconvened, and from now on, the highest authority in Germany was changed from the central government to the Bundestag.
Not only the states, but also the free cities participated, and nominally everyone was equal and the masters of the country.
The new Federal Emperor is actually the Speaker of the Federal Assembly, and if he does not do well, the Federal Assembly still has the right to recall, and several old Imperial Electors are eligible to run.
The matter of electing the emperor in Germany has been in an uproar, but the real attention is paid to the ordinary people, and there are very few entertainment activities in these years, and it is rare to have a lively time to watch, and everyone is a hundred percent enthusiastic.
Ferdinand didn't bother to pay attention, the left and right were just rubber stamps, and the now unified Germany was only barely combined by external forces.
In the event of a conflict of interests, these states may be scattered in a hurry, returning to the era of princely division a hundred years ago.
Ferdinand was tinkering with his new toy, to be precise, preparing for the filming of a TV series, which had been around for more than a decade and that there were more than a dozen television stations in Bulgaria.
As a qualified king, Ferdinand naturally wanted to control public opinion in advance, so he invested in the establishment of a television station at the beginning.
And by using the turnover station of the previous radio station, the national coverage of TV programs has been realized, leaving competitors far behind.
In this era, there was no artificial satellite in the sky, and TV signal transmission could only rely on the most primitive turnover station, and it was impossible to play without money.
At present, the national TV stations are secretly controlled by Ferdinand, and the control of the base station is so awesome, and the TV stations that refuse to cooperate can only be limited to one place. It was a matter of time before he was co-opted, and Ferdinand was not worried about that.
Not everyone has the strength to build base stations all over the country, which not only requires a lot of investment, but also a complete technical team.
"Your Majesty, if you shoot like this, there will be no artistry at all, will it be too low-minded?" Director Billy said embarrassed
"This is a documentary, what you want is real, to restore history as much as possible, why do you want art? Don't you think that's a recipe for it? Ferdinand asked rhetorically
"Your Majesty, many snakes in nature have legs, so it will be more perfect!" Director Billy couldn't help but reply
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he had lost his temper, and it was very impolite to talk to the emperor like this.
glanced at Ferdinand apprehensively, and found that there was no meaning of anger, and Director Billy threw himself to the ground with admiration for his open-mindedness.
"I'm just using an analogy, the most important role of a documentary film is to record history, and everything else can be ignored.
What if you add a bunch of mess into it, and you let our descendants study this time?
If their thinking is deviated, it is tampering with history, which is absolutely not allowed! Ferdinand said righteously
Europeans speak very directly, Ferdinand naturally will not be subtle, directly one sentence is given, and history cannot be tampered with!
There's nothing wrong with this, it's a very strong reason, the director has no opinion, the crime of tampering with history is too big, he can't afford it, and everyone in the crew can't bear it either.
It is estimated that after the filming of the documentary was completed, Ferdinand's statement that history would not be tampered with would leave a heavy ink on the history books of Bulgaria.
Well, people who seem to have a pain in the egg always have to find something to do.
Ferdinand can't do scientific research, the basic knowledge is too poor, he can't play if he wants to, and at the same time he doesn't want to suffer that hardship.
If he writes an autobiography, he only needs to provide an outline, and there are people who act as gunmen for him, and there will be no problems with keeping.
Now it's the same with tossing TV series, if he doesn't need to pay attention to his identity, he is ready to direct the filming himself.
After thinking about it, I gave up. If you go into battle in person, it is estimated that everyone in the crew will be uncomfortable, and God knows what will be able to shoot in the end.
If you shoot a completely bad movie, and these people also say it's a good movie, isn't that a big joke in the world?
As long as it is shot by him, no matter how bad the movie is, this generation of Bulgarians will probably applaud.
Even if they don't understand it, they will think that they are not knowledgeable enough to be able to make movies.
Even if they didn't have any thoughts, they had to decipher a bunch of great ideas, and thinking about the terrible consequences, Ferdinand was intimidated.
In case it is debunked in the future, isn't it to bear the name of the king of bad movies?
It's better to direct the director to shoot, except for the problem that the crew is responsible for, that is because they have a problem with their understanding ability and misinterpret the emperor's meaning.
"Your Majesty, a telegram has been sent from His Highness Peter, at ten o'clock this morning, his queen was born, and you have another granddaughter!" The attendant said happily
I have to say that the genes of the Gotha family are strong, and the stud farm of the European royal family is not called in vain.
In terms of output, it far surpassed other royal families, and with this advantage, the Gotha family left a series of competitors such as the Habsburgs and the Bourbons.
Especially now, under Ferdinand's butterfly effect, this advantage has become even stronger, and if someone says that the 20th century is the century of the Gotha family, it is estimated that no one will object.
Historically, the Gotha family also relied on the export of princes and princesses to unify most of the world, but now it is only a little more.
Compared with those endangered nobles, their advantages are too great, they don't have to do anything, and the title will fall, so what else can be done?
This is also evident in the third generation of Bulgarians, who by now have eleven grandchildren and seven granddaughters.
Many of them made him a little numb, but Ferdinand still agreed with this statement.
Especially in Bulgaria, this statement is also very marketable, and it is believed that the more children there are, the greater God's favor for them.
"Send a telegram to Peter and tell him that I am now happy to have a granddaughter, and congratulate him on having another daughter, so that he can continue to do his best work!
By the way, urge Peter to come up with a good name for my little granddaughter! Ferdinand said with a smile
"Yes, Your Majesty!" chamberlain
His identity is destined to make it impossible to go over to see this newborn granddaughter, with his age, no one dares to let him toss now.
In case there are some problems along the way, his granddaughter will be in big trouble and be considered an ominous person, then it will be miserable.
Ferdinand wasn't a pit and didn't like to die, so he could only look at the photos, and if he was older, he could shoot videos.
"Xenia has been notified by the other side, and she has added a granddaughter, I think she will be very happy!" Ferdinand asked casually
"Your Majesty, someone has already gone over to inform you!" The squire replied
"Well, inform me, I'm going to hold a banquet tonight to celebrate the birth of my little granddaughter!" Ferdinand said with a smile
This is already customary, since the birth of the first little grandson, Ferdinand held an unprecedented banquet in excitement, and now he has to hold a banquet to celebrate every child is born.
As early as the last century, some people predicted: if other nobles don't work hard, the world will be surnamed Gotha.
This effort is to let them work hard to have children, otherwise by means of marriage, the Gotha family will rule the world.
Of course, this statement is very exaggerated, but the gene pool of European royal families is indeed true, and perhaps in another twenty or thirty years, the royal families of all countries will be monopolized by their genes.
This, with the flood of princes and princesses of the Bulgarian royal family, is about to become a reality, which Ferdinand never expected.
Perhaps in his lifetime, Ferdinand would also become a great-grandfather in Europe, provided that he lived that long.
Ferdinand once again felt the advantage of having more children, and according to the current situation, after four or five generations, the population of his branch would exceed 100.
Fortunately, Europe is late marriage and late childbearing, and monogamy, otherwise the proliferation of clans in the Ming Dynasty will soon occur in the Bulgarian Empire.
"Father, something happened to the British royal family!" Little Ferdinand hurriedly said
"What happened? Could it be that Edward VIII, who loves beauty and doesn't love the country, has caused some trouble? Ferdinand asked, confused
For such a royal laughing stock, Ferdinand has always hated it.
If it happened to another family, it would have happened to the British royal family, and they still had the name of a family? If you want to be embarrassed, everyone will be embarrassed together, and you can't hide if you want to.
"Yes, Father! Your judgment is still as sharp, Edward VIII announced his marriage to Mrs. Simpson, and sent us an invitation! Ferdinand Jr. said with a frown
Mrs. Simpson has been married twice, having just divorced her ex-husband Ennister Simpson.
Mrs. Simpson is a typical American style, and her reputation in London is very bad, and she has not been recognized by everyone, at least George V opposed the marriage during his lifetime.
Ferdinand frowned, and then stretched out, now different from history, where Edward VIII abdicated because of this marriage.
It doesn't exist now, at least the question of Mrs. Simpson's spy identity, no one raises it, Germany is now an ally of the British, and the United States doesn't exist anymore.
Without this factor, there would be less pressure on Edward VIII, and with the British royal family now stronger, it is unlikely that the cabinet would force the king to abdicate even if they opposed the marriage.
"Then tell Edward, I wish him good luck, and I hope their love can be happy, and we won't be attending this wedding!" Ferdinand said helplessly
Shame on you, shame on you, anyway, the wood has already become a boat, and it's too late to stop it. This question is still a headache for the British!
"But father, our reputation has been ruined by him, and the social impact is very bad!" Ferdinand Jr. said with a frown
"It doesn't matter, don't you lose face once, the royal families of all European countries have basically rebelled, and everyone's face has been lost, but this time it's our turn!
You have to take this as a warning and discipline the next generation strictly, if there is such a love saint, then let him give up his royal identity first, and then pursue their happy life! Ferdinand thought for a moment and said
Rights and obligations are equal, born in the royal family to bear their due responsibilities, just enjoy rights, but not obligations, where in the world is there such a good thing?
Such a thing would undoubtedly be catastrophic in a country where royal power was in decline, but in Bulgaria it was not worth mentioning.
You can't just make little Ferdinand, the emperor, responsible for messing around with the King of England, right?
It was nothing more than lowering the king's eclectic status and lowering their sacred status in the eyes of the people, but now that Ferdinand was alive, there would be no problem.
The prestige of the Bulgarian royal family came from Ferdinand, not from the so-called family influence, although he had risen to power in the first place.
The only thing that can be done now is to prevent it, if this kind of thing happens to ordinary people, it is nothing at all, and Edward VIII's marriage is only magnified.
If he is not the king of England, or if he renounces the right to inherit the throne early, then at most he will be a prodigal son's evaluation, and he will not be resisted by the British people as he is now.
"Father, don't worry, on this issue, I will completely follow your requirements, and there will be no chaos!" Ferdinand Jr. assured

London
Stanley Win, who became Prime Minister again, was about to be mad, and he was really powerless in the face of a wayward king.
The news has spread, and the most important thing is that the wedding invitations have been sent, and the shame has been thrown all over the world, and it is impossible to take it back.
Of course, this is only his personal opinion, among the younger generation, there are still people who support Edward VIII, but the base of these people is very small.
"Your Majesty, now please take back your fate!" Prime Minister Stanley Winn Baldwin said cautiously
"The news has been announced, and the invitations have been sent, how can I get it back!" Edward VIII said proudly
That seems to mean that it is already a fait accompli anyway, and the big deal is to be scolded by the people, and it will be fine in a few days.
For the sake of great love, it is just a scolding, it is not worth mentioning at all!
"Your Majesty, you can completely change a queen and explain to everyone that the people below are mistaken, and the problem will be solved!" Stanley Winn Baldwin proposed
Stanley Win's suggestion is still very reliable, find someone to carry the black pot and block the fire for the king, which really takes into account the reputation of the royal family.
"Needless to say, this matter is not negotiable!" Edward VIII said firmly
