Xu Jun was personally interested in His Majesty Caesar, and as a former top decision-maker in the empire, Wilhelm II held a large number of secrets that only the parties knew about. With his death, these secrets were brought to the grave, leaving a pile of unsolved mysteries for later generations of historians.

The proud Caesar dreamed of restoring his empire to the death, even lowering his posture and writing a letter to pat the former army corporal on the back.

Hitler was no man to impress with a few flattering words, even though he admired the emperor in his youth, but after a crushing defeat in the Great War, the emperor had fallen from the altar from his high altar. Hitler's attitude towards the old aristocracy also gradually changed with the improvement of personal status, and only a few of the old German aristocracy could retain their own discipline in the face of the new power, which was also where Hitler despised these people the most, and this contempt eventually extended to the emperor they supported.

The rise of the Nazi Party relied on co-opting and agitating the lower classes, but in order to control a country and maintain the functioning of the entire state system, it was necessary to gain the support of the upper elite, so until the outbreak of the European war, the Führer struggled to regulate the balance between the two classes.

For this reason, he continued the policy of the Weimar Republic in the treatment of the old imperial family, and paid the royal family a monthly allowance on time, which was enough for the emperor to live a comfortable life in the penal colony.

It took more than ten years for the Weimar Republic to erase the traces of the emperor's existence, because whether it was smeared by the media or deprived of the titles of the nobles, the aristocracy of the Second Empire was still intact, and many of them were still die-hard loyalists of the Prussian royal family, fantasizing about restoring the former empire and welcoming back their exiled emperor.

Almost all of the key generals of the Wehrmacht participated in the First World War, and they also swore allegiance to the emperor, and their nostalgia and nostalgia for the glory of the old Reich did not diminish because of the rise of the Third Reich, but because of the German army's successive victories on the battlefield, these nostalgia became growing day by day.

For the Nazi Party, these unrealistic ideas were obviously a serious threat to the Nazi regime, and most of the Nazi leaders from the grassroots would never tolerate the resurgence of the old forces, and they would not tolerate the aristocracy snatching away the power they held and taking away the "revolutionary gains" they had worked so hard to obtain.

So Hitler would never allow the Second Reich to be restored, and in his view, the decay and depravity of the old Reich, combined with an incompetent emperor and a bunch of stupid generals, and "dark arrows" from his enemies at home, all combined to lead to the defeat of the country he loved.

All of the above proves the glorious and correct nature of his ideology and the existing policy of the Nazi Party. As a symbol of the old empire, Wilhelm II can continue to bring out the wisdom and majesty of the head of the empire as long as he is alive in the world for a long time. Hitler masqueraded as a sympathizer of the imperial family only to lure the royalists into collaborating with the Nazis.

Xu Jun did not have Hitler's veteran feelings, he did not experience the First World War, he only tried to understand the emperor from the mouths of generals and marshals, as well as from the archives of the Berlin Chancellery. In fact, these archives are incomplete, and most of the correspondence and meeting records have been destroyed by order of the emperor in order to avoid responsibility.

This time the new Führer wanted to meet with Wilhelm II, not on the spur of the moment, but after careful consideration. As a true dictator, Xu Jun would not allow the emperor to be restored now, and Germany could no longer return to the dualistic rule of the old empire, especially when it was about to face the most brutal war on the Eastern Front.

But Xu Jun will still take this Caesar back, and even prepare to lift him up again in the clouds, but in his plan the emperor only exists as a mascot for the country, a souvenir of the re-emergence of the German Empire.

Aside from the exalted status of the royal family, William could no longer wield any real power, and it could be said that he would not even have the opportunity to become a puppet.

The Hohenzollern royal family is Xu Jun's insurance for the future of Germany, he knows very well that the dictatorship is a double-edged sword, and even he is now often indulged in unlimited power in his hands, Xu Jun does not dare to guarantee that his successor will be able to resist the temptation and corruption of power.

He feared that the European Union system and the balance of the world that he had built would fall apart because of the stupidity of a successor. Therefore, Xu Jun was not prepared to leave the same supreme authority to his successor, and he envisaged that at an appropriate time, the functions of the German parliament would be restored, and at the same time, he would divide the power in his hands and re-establish the constitutional system of separation of powers. At that time, the existence of the German royal family was a sharp weapon used by Xu Jun to restrain the power of parliament.

Of course, the premise of all this is that he can win the war he is about to face, otherwise these are still just empty words.

Xu Jun admires Franco in terms of the transition of power, and no matter what the dictator has done, there is no doubt that he is a patriot. Franco's return of power to the Spanish crown not only succeeded in preserving the political gains of the dictatorship, but also maintained the stability of the country and society, and avoided the political turmoil caused by the transfer of power.

On the other hand, if Hitler had died suddenly and no other successor had been appointed, it would have been very likely that the dictator's crown would have fallen into the hands of Goering, and neither the Wehrmacht, nor the SS nor the Nazi hierarchy would tolerate this stupid pig taking over the Reich, and a very bitter power struggle in Germany could be foreseen.

If Xu Jun had not won the support of the Wehrmacht and the SS, and Goering and his family had left the field early, he would never have been able to sit on the Führer throne so smoothly, and at the same time inherit the political legacy left by Hitler, and it was even very likely that a civil war would break out in Germany.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Jun got on his Mercedes-Benz 770K, and left the manor specially prepared for him by the Dutch government under the hug of the guard flag team.

This time the German Führer came to the Netherlands not by plane, but by his Führer's train.

The Führer "Americas", which originally belonged to Hitler, was finally refurbished in early January, and this trip was the first mission that the armored train performed after leaving the repair shop. The renovation took three months and, according to Randolph, even a single bolt was refurbished.

The locomotive was replaced with the 1081 type of the DRB03 series, which was specially designed by Deutsche Bahn for high-speed express trains, with an aerodynamic streamlined appearance, a power output of 2,090 horsepower, a maximum speed of 150 kilometers per hour, and a speed of 120 kilometers per hour when pulling a 500-ton carriage, which was quite an astonishing figure in the same class of locomotives in Europe at that time. The 52-type locomotive originally used in the special train has a maximum speed of only 80 kilometers per hour and a power of only more than 1,500 horsepower.

The whole special train including the locomotive, a total of fifteen cars, the power group still uses two tandem locomotives, and then at the beginning and end of the train each mounted an armored anti-aircraft gun car, each anti-aircraft gun car is equipped with two quadruple 37 mm anti-aircraft guns, in the real history, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Führer's special train has never really been used, Xu Jun expects this record not to be broken on his side.

Behind the anti-aircraft gun carriage was a luggage cart for the luggage of the Führer and his senior subordinates, and behind the luggage cart was the Führer's private compartment, which housed the Führer's and guard's bedrooms, private offices, and a private lavatory.

Behind the Führer's carriage was the command compartment, which contained a conference room and radio communication room, in which the Führer could hold military meetings and issue orders directly to the outside world. Behind the command car was the senior attaché carriage, reserved for the use of the accompanying senior officials, and this time Brauchitsch and Himmler lived in this carriage.

Behind the senior attaché compartment is the dining car, the front dining car is reserved for the Führer and senior attachés, while the ordinary attachés dine in another dining car at the rear, revealing the distinction between ranks in the army. Behind the high-class dining car hung two ordinary cars, the first was a rest and entertainment room for officials to smoke and chat, and the back was the attaché's office, which was responsible for routine official business.

Behind the office car is the shower car, which can provide hot water for bathing 24 hours a day, behind the shower car is another dining car, and then there are two sleeper cars, in which the ordinary attachés and the soldiers of the guard flag team live in these two cars, and finally there are two stuffy tank wagons used to place the luggage of the attaché and the accompanying vehicle, and an armored anti-aircraft gun car of the same model as the bow of the car is hung in the rear of the car.

After the outbreak of the war on the Eastern Front, this special train was renamed "Brandenburg", and Xu Jun felt that the name "America" sounded good, so he had no plans to rename it for the time being.

There are many benefits to taking the train, in addition to being safer and more comfortable than flying, you can also bring more attachés and gear. This time, in addition to his own head of state team, Xu Jun also brought a group of officers from the General Headquarters and the Army General Staff.

As for Himmler, this guy was forced to come up at the last moment, and Xu Jun immediately agreed to his request to accompany him, for the sake of his loyalty that he had always been.

In addition to the Führer's flag guard and a platoon of panzergrenadiers, Himmler's personal guards and plainclothes agents of the General Security Service were also involved in the security work, although the latter were not qualified to squeeze into the Führer's train, and they were on a different train, the "Africa" belonging to the High Command.

PS: Thank you for your support, there are a lot of things to die during this time, and I am busy every day without touching the ground, and I am trying to recover.
