……

The headlines in all the newspapers of the Second German Reich were about the capture of many of the Allied generals and colonels, and the Central Powers of Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire soon followed, followed by a number of neutral powers.

Crown Prince William and several high-ranking figures, they must have appeared on the newspaper pages, but for the restoration of the matter, the top brass was not so shameless as to erase the people who really established the merits, Richie and Ewald. Feng. Kleist had his own page as the actual commander, and some of the other people involved in the operation were introduced.

If you only read the newspaper, although Li Qi has his own page, he has to tell the truth, that is, there is everything that should be there, but he can't get more. But that didn't stop him from becoming a household name, all because of his speech.

Litchie's speech at the train station was so brilliant that Kaiser Wilhelm II applauded and celebrated, and then ordered the Reich Propaganda Department to make a repeat broadcast.

The Propaganda Department was a little caught off guard at first when it received the order from Kaiser Wilhelm II, because they had sent people to the train station without any radio equipment at all, and there was no way to talk about broadcasting, so they could only ask Litch to cooperate.

In fact, the speeches on the radio are recorded later, and the funny thing is that in order to restore the authenticity, the Propaganda Department not only invited Li Qi, but also hired a large number of men, women and children. Richie was in charge of the speeches, and then the men, women and children were in charge of cheering.

Thanks to Richie's rote memorization of the speech in advance, otherwise it is impossible to completely "restore" it, after all, what a person says can roughly remember the content, but it is a bit difficult to be exactly the same in terms of words and sentences.

Because Richie's speech was constantly broadcast on the radio, it seemed that things were finally on the "right track"? After all, no matter how much it is said that without Richie, there would not have been this operation at all.

"You just need to salute the army and don't need to do anything else." Alexander. Feng. Osto seems to have become a temporary assistant to some, and for the last two days he has been assigned to receive and entertain those who have come to Berlin from the battlefields of the Western Front. He looked at Li Qi and said, "Captain Li Qi, especially you, Your Majesty will personally award you a medal." The new uniforms of the school-level regiment have been prepared for you on the spot, and you will definitely be wearing the military rank. You should understand what kind of honor this is, because there will be reporters who will record the whole process and no mistakes can be made in the process. Do you understand? ”

Originally, Kaiser Wilhelm II was supposed to be the first emperor of Ewald. Feng. Kleist also had a piece of honour as well as a proper treatment, but for Ewald. Feng. Unfortunately for Kleist, the sensation caused by Richie's speech was too great and continues to ferment.

According to the first statistics of the Imperial Conscription Service, the number of people who joined the army in Berlin, and the rest of the surrounding area, rose by 12 percent in just two days after the broadcast was advertised. Considering that a large number of people who should have joined the army before, 12% is not a small amount, and it should be said that this increase is already very high.

In addition to the increase in the supply of soldiers, the people began to donate money and materials to the government spontaneously. The current amount is not too much, but in the past, aristocrats, capitalists, and big landowners would donate some money, and the donations from the private sector were basically blank, which caused a lot of high-level shocks and surprises.

War broke out in the Second German Reich, so did any one of the countries enter into the preparation to fight for the country? It's clear that this is not the case.

The reason why the Second German Reich chose war was because the industry was very developed, and the goods produced were already in a state of excess, but the Reich only had a few colonies, and the overabundance of products was obviously a little unsellable. It was clear before the war broke out, that the sword was the plough seeking more land under the sun, and the reality was to open more markets and find dumping grounds where goods could be sold.

Open more markets to dump goods? To put it bluntly, the reason why the war is fought is to find a market for the capitalists, and perhaps there is also a little meaning in the propaganda to increase the living space for ordinary people, but in the end, it is still for the capitalists.

After the war really broke out, the capitalists invested some money in the early stage, but they soon got an incomparably rich return from various orders, and the return was hundredfold, a thousandfold compared with the money they donated!

In many cases, the strength of the country has nothing to do with ordinary people, and no matter how powerful the country is, it is not the turn of ordinary people to obtain the benefits, basically all the benefits are obtained by those who are in high positions and capitalists. But! The weakness of the country will not only affect the high-ranking and capitalists, but ordinary people will become the most direct victims!

Two years after the outbreak of the war, the war was not won as quickly as the top brass had hoped, and the war began to become protracted and stalemate. Now they finally remembered that the capitalists could provide money and arms, but they could not provide manpower and soldiers, and the big landlords had begun to hate the war because of the disparity between what they gave and what they had returned, so they began to try to get the support of the common people.

Richie did establish meritorious deeds, but he became a tool for propaganda to get more ordinary people involved in the world war.

"Our hero is so young!" Kaiser Wilhelm II, dressed in a marshal's suit, with an armed belt pinned to his waist in one hand and a scepter in the other, stared at Li Qi with piercing eyes, the beard under his nose curled up with a smile on his lips. He said: "Thank you so much, you have done a lot better than many of our generals." ”

Li Qi did not say a word, but he heard Kaiser Wilhelm II's cannons in the air, and he was dissatisfied with some people.

There was no handshake between the two, and there was no picture of hugging and patting on the shoulder in encouragement, some were just separated by some distance, and then Kaiser Wilhelm II encouraged him with dignified language.

The emperor, the emperor who controls everything, an emperor of noble blood and a world power, cannot show any kind side to his subordinates or subordinates, his kindness only appears when photographed for the sake of propaganda.

After the light flickered, several attendants appeared with plates, some covered with red cloth trimmed with gold trim, others not. On the plate without a cloth is a colonel-level military uniform.

The plates with military uniforms were handed to Richie and Ewald by the attendants. Feng. Kleist hands. Both of them were promoted at the same time and will be promoted to major, but their positions are not scheduled for the time being. For the next award, the two need to go to the dressing room in the side hall under the guidance of the attendants to change their clothes, and then there will be a series of ceremonies.

Although Litchie didn't show any unusual signs throughout the whole process, Ewald. Feng. Kleist is still very sensitive.

"Obei, you ......"

"Huh? Oh! It's okay, I'm just honored to meet Your Majesty. ”

"Yes! This is also the first time I have met His Majesty, and it is really a great honor. ”

"Huh."

Does Richie feel honored? Maybe, but it's more of a restraint, and there's a hint of strangeness that I don't know how to describe it......
