Chapter 313: Charlie's Special Day

The Sufi Lord's banquet was a success, the guests were satisfied with the king's arrival, the Sufi lord was satisfied with his brother's "apology", and Ernst was equally satisfied, because he had obtained the Sufi lord's forgiveness without damaging his own majesty. As the sister of the king of a country, the banquet of the Sufi lord naturally came to many Warsaw magnates, who were either rich or noble.

A high-ranking official from the Warsaw city government also attended the banquet, and his Chinese identity naturally touched on the Far East in his conversations, such as now, when he talks about the fate of "Mr. Chiang."

In 1927, Mr. Chiang used the method of retreat to advance to declare that the lower field was actually to force other parties in the country to compromise, and as the strength of the revolutionary army increased, related internal contradictions began to emerge, and Madame Sun criticized the revolutionary army at this time, and claimed that this revolutionary army was not the other revolutionary army.

Mr. Sun's influence in China is undoubted, Mrs. Sun's words have hit Mr. Jiang's influence in China to a great extent, and this time Shimono also has the intention of avoiding this matter.

In the face of such a thing, the officials of Chinese descent hope that the Quad Alliance can intervene, and any overseas Chinese hope that their motherland will be a peaceful, stable, and unified country, and hope that it is coming, but at this time, there are internal disputes again, and the Chinese are really a little anxious.

The Chinese officials represent most of the Chinese living in the Quad Alliance, and Ernst can't be careless, but Ernst was not prepared to wade into the troubled waters this time, of course, it is necessary to have some contact with them appropriately, after all, the identity of the traverser makes Ernst very clear about the future winner.

A new autumn season is coming, and hundreds of farms are about to harvest it. This time is also the busiest time for the governments of the Quad Alliance. Exporting grain, storing grain into storage, counting this year's grain income, farm income and expenditure, and so on......

Ernst was the most leisurely of them. He even traveled to Lithuania once, and if it weren't for the fact that the statue of Ernst the Great, a landmark in Warsaw, was erected in the center of the square, it is estimated that he would have been out for a while before returning.

When he woke up in the morning, just as Ernst was about to look at the sculpture that was said to have been erected for himself, a message from the intelligence center caught Ernst's attention - German President Hindenburg's public speech, the content of which clearly expressed his denial of responsibility for Germany in the First World War, which was actually a veto of the punishment of Britain and France against Germany in the Treaty of Versailles.

It's a big deal, Hindenburg is the president of Germany. He represents almost all of Germany, and now that he denies the punishment of Britain and France for Germany, it is conceivable that a political storm is coming, and even this political storm is likely to develop into a military storm.

The citizens of Western Europe began to feel a little nervous, they could not forget the devastation of the First World War, the children who had lost their fathers, the mothers who had lost their sons, the wives who had lost their husbands......

At this time, compared with the peak of Germany, that is, in 1913, the amount of steel and iron had increased by 30 percent and 38 percent respectively, and Germany's savings at this time had reached 7.6 billion marks, and the government had abundant funds for the military.

Germany's reparations were to be repaid 2 billion marks in 30 years, and British and French financiers estimated that Germany would not have the spare energy to do anything else, but in fact Germany had already spent more than three times the amount of reparations on military spending at this time. And this number is still rising rapidly, and it is expected to be by 1933. Military spending can be increased to about seven times the amount of reparations.

In terms of the overall strategic situation, Germany at this time was actually far superior to that of the First World War, because the mighty Russian Empire had become a member of the Quadruple Alliance, and the Soviet government was unable to move under the bitter pressure of the Quadruple Alliance, even though Germany had lost East Prussia by this time.

Quadruple Alliance? Germany never thought that the Quad Alliance would be its enemy, because both of them had common enemies, Britain, France, and the United States, and the Quad Alliance would not make any moves until Germany and Britain, France, and the United States came out with a result, and this was something that the German government could be absolutely sure of.

Germany knew very well that there was no friendship between countries, so even though they were very relieved about the Four-Power Alliance, they were still worried that they would suddenly change sides in the war, and if it were not for Italy's "mutiny" in World War I, perhaps Germany would not have lost so badly.

Hindenburg believed that if he went to war with Britain, France, and the United States again, it would be very likely that he would ask for the consent of the Four-Power Alliance, first of all, of course, an alliance, and second, to contain other countries other than the United States, Britain, and France, and that the Four-Power Alliance had the strength and ambition to do so.

It was Britain, France and the United States that prevented Ernst from becoming the real king of Eastern Europe, and as long as Ernst's ambitions continued, then Hindenburg believed that Ernst would definitely agree to his alliance, of course, this was not a good time, at least Germany was not ready.

"Bert, how is that Mr. Hitler now?"

Putting down the information in his hand, Ernst suddenly asked the almost forgotten Hitler, as the organizer of Ernst's intelligence, such a question naturally did not stump Bert.

"Mr. Hitler had been released from prison two years earlier, and then he visited the Bavarian Chancellor, admitting that the beer can riots were his mistake and assuring that he would abide by the law......"

Ernst couldn't help but chuckle before Bert's words were finished, he didn't expect Hitler to be so bent and stretched, but to be able to believe his nonsense, the Bavarian Chancellor's IQ was really a little worrying.

"Now that the Workers' Party and its organ newspapers have been republished and the Workers' Party has been re-established, he is now in full control of the entire Workers' Party, but he has been refused to speak publicly!"

After Ernst signaled Bert to continue speaking, Bert gave a general account of Hitler's affairs, but Ernst was really concerned about the situation of the "Nazi Party" at this time, and Bert was a little upside down.

"The Nazi Party? Your Majesty is referring to the German Workers' Party! Because of Germany's currency reform some time ago, the euro and the dollar made the German economy very stable, which had a great impact on the Nazi Party. ”

The impact will naturally be great, after all, the Nazi Party is playing revenge. And with the prosperity of the people, stability. Who would keep thinking about revenge? It's hard to get everything you have now. A revenge could have turned everything in front of him into ashes, and Hitler was willing to gamble that they wouldn't. However, Hitler's personality also meant that he would not give up on his ideals, and "My Ideals" continued to be released and the rest of the book was completed, and the rest of Hitler's time was spent on party development, even if he was restricted from speaking publicly.

In fact, the German Workers' Party has perfected its own internal party structure, has the ability to take over government departments, and there are a number of members who can take up the responsibilities of the corresponding government departments. Hitler's ambitions were clear.

"Did they make any moves?"

Ernst was referring to the German nobles and merchants who lived in the Quad Alliance, and Hitler had visited them one by one during his time in the Quad Alliance, and now that Hitler had been released from prison and had considerable influence in Bavaria, it would not be difficult for him to gain the support of these people.

Bert obviously looked into these things, shook his head and said something unexpected to Ernst, the nobles and businessmen all refused to support Hitler, they obviously believed that Germany had stabilized at this time, there would be no more surprises, at least the possibility of Hitler's success was very small.

"Your Majesty!"

"Huh?"

Ernst was a little surprised, was there any other topic that Bert was concerned about? He's the real first. Ernst's information is almost all in his hands, if there is one person in the world who can easily kill Ernst. Then it can only be Bert, because he is so convenient, too convenient. As Ernst's first trusted person, his hesitation at this time made Ernst very incredible.

"His Royal Highness Charlie will be the first day of school tomorrow, don't you ......?"

The Quadruple Alliance has an aristocratic academy, not to resist private teaching, but Ernst wants to let the children of aristocratic families also have a space to play, and the aristocratic academy is also a place where people can gather people. Of course, the royal family is more demanding, they don't need so many connections, they need people who can help them.

Primary school has no effect, and in secondary school and university, these members of the royal family must go to ordinary colleges, because most of the talents are from commoners, not because of education, but because the nobility naturally lacks a fighting spirit, especially the spirit of fighting for life.

Ernst is a monarch but he is also a father, and on a special day for children, it must be very good for Ernst to be present, and Bert is Ernst's butler, so it is his duty to mediate the relationship between the members of the royal family.

Ernst's sons, whether Charlie or Heinrich or Burkter. Franz, they all had a fear of Ernst, and they were not only Ernst's nephew Lorenz. The same is true of Franz, who is much better off with the two little girls, Princess Rosa and Princess Johanna.

Bert's words silenced Ernst, and then it was only when Bert was a little anxious that Ernst suddenly spoke: "Help me arrange a plane to Prague, maybe I still have some things to deal with." ”

Everything is just an excuse, such a clumsy reason Bert did not expose it, and he did not need to expose it, Bert, who achieved his goal, left with a rare soft humming tune, which made the servants along the way dumbfounded, this is still the Bert butler who has always kept a straight face?

Bert quietly informed Maria of this, and Maria was also very happy, although there were some mistakes in the relationship between the two because Ernst stayed in Warsaw most of the time, but Maria still hoped to see Ernst tomorrow from the bottom of her heart, after all, tomorrow was a new starting point for Charlie.

At noon, when Ernst was about to go to Prague to say goodbye to Anne, what he didn't expect was that Anne actually took the initiative to find him, and the purpose of Anne's arrival was very difficult to help but look at her with strange eyes, because she actually came to persuade Ernst to go to Prague.

Anne's purpose is the same as Bert's, she hopes to see Charlie before his special day, whether the two will take the opportunity to talk or not, as long as Ernst is there, at least Charlie will have no regrets in the future, even if Charlie still hates Ernst a little.

Prague International Airport

At this time, the most luxurious and largest airport in the world was here, which even the United States could not compare, because the aviation technology of the Czech principality was indeed the first in the world, and of course their air force was also the first in the world.

Hurried to and fro, which is a very appropriate description, just arrived at the airport, and before the airport staff could even react that Ernst had left, he went straight to the Prague Palace, while Charles was nagging about Maria's various questions about the school.

"Am I going to live with a lot of people?"

"Not a lot of people, only four people in a dorm, dear Charlie."

"Four, my God, can't my servant follow me to school?"

"Of course not, it's a place to exercise you, and you need to learn to live independently."

"But Mom, that's not what the teacher said, he said that nobles have to learn to adapt to aristocratic life, to learn how to enjoy the service of others, and that it is a shame to do anything yourself......"

"That's the aristocratic Charlie of the Middle Ages, it's the 20th century, and what you need to do is be the monarch of the 20th century."

Maria was not as impatient as she imagined, and she used almost all of her patience to help him answer questions, even if many things were still a mess in Charlie's heart, making it impossible for him to tell who was right.

"Daddy is back today, right?"

A sudden remark silenced Maria, who did not know how to answer the question, that Ernst would indeed be here, and that she believed Bert, but ...... There are always surprises, right?

Maria didn't want to disappoint Charlie after her hopes, so she decided to lie so that Ernst would be a surprise and wouldn't be too disappointed if she didn't come.

"Mom?"

"I'm sorry Charlie, I just remembered something and got a little distracted, what did you just say, will Dad come? I guess you will be disappointed, he has a lot of work to deal with, after all, he is the monarch of a country, and you will be the same in the future, because you are the crown prince of the Czech Republic and the Russian Empire. ”

"Will the king be so busy all the time? I don't want this, I don't want to be the crown prince......"

"Shut up, it's your responsibility, do you want to shirk it?"

Maria's fierceness made Charlie a little scared, but what really scared him was the word "shirk responsibility", because Ernst once said that a man can do anything, but the only thing he can't do is shirk the responsibility that belongs to him. (To be continued.) )
