"General, you ......"

Several loyal attendants in the German command headquarters on the way to evacuation looked at their general with great embarrassment, having been by the general's side for many years, and they knew very well what this hard-tempered general wanted to do at this time.

"There is an old saying in the East, the winner calls the king and the loser a villain, we should be prepared for such a result from the beginning, you should leave quickly!"

Sitting in the command room, looking at everything familiar in the command room, the German general shook his head with emotion, the source of the end of all this was in the drawer, but the German general didn't want his subordinates to see this scene, so he began to urge these loyal attendants to leave.

Alas~

The endless words ended up with only a faint lament, and the gunfire behind the departure shortly after the departure indicated that it was really coming to an end, and that the same thing was not happening only here. According to incomplete statistics, more than 100 young and promising generals died under their own guns on the way to retreat.

They were born for their faith, but now that their faith is shattered or even hopeless, life may only be torture for them, and death is the real liberation.

The overly rigid almost all chose the same approach, while some of the clever ones began to rush to the Czech principality, and the only one who could preserve their wealth and status at this time when Germany surrendered was probably the only Czech principality, and for this reason the borders of the Czech principality have been extremely crowded lately.

The arrival of a large number of German nobles and generals was also a good thing for Ernst, who was very pleased with the economic and military improvements, without the oppression of the Anglo-American, French, and Italian powers.

Ernst seemed a little irritable for a while, and it had nothing to do with the addition of a noisy little princess to the family, even if she was born at a bad time. The Allies finally surrendered. Yes, on November 11, the German government, on behalf of Erzberger, signed an armistice with Foch, commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, at the Redonde station in the Compiègne forest in northeastern France, and Germany surrendered.

Seriously, Ernst had a strange look on his face when he knew the exact time, and in his mind there was only one idea that November 11 was Singles' Day, but it was really on this day that the First World War ended? Maybe it's not Singles' Day, but Widow's Day or Welfare Day!

Why do you say welfare holidays? What will happen to a large number of single soldiers and widows? Will the governments of European countries, whose populations have shrunk suddenly, have any new policy support after the end of the war? In other countries, at least that's what France does, and a large number of widows and young retired soldiers who are not married are forcibly combined.

Of course, it was not these things that bothered Ernst the most at this time, but the expulsion of the Habsburgs. Yes, the Habsburgs, who had ruled Austria for a hundred years, lost one of their most important possessions, Emperor Karl was forced into exile without the name of it, and the rest of the Habsburgs were equally fateful.

Archduke Ferdinand was better, after all, he had a son of a Czech archduke, and although the Habsburgs were expelled in honor, in fact Archduke Ferdinand was still living peacefully in Vienna...... The mansion where they had lived for a long time was repossessed, but they did not touch the fortune of Archduke Ferdinand.

At this time, Archduke Ferdinand lived in an old castle on the outskirts, a gift he had given to Archduchess Sophia as a young man. However, only Archduke Ferdinand lived there, and the Archduchess Sophia, the Sophie Lord, and Prince Flanders were still in Prague.

Needless to say, the Lord of Sophie and Prince Flanders will settle in Prague in the future, and the Grand Duchess Sophia will also need to stay here for a while longer, and she hopes to be able to take care of her little granddaughter for a while longer.

At this time, Mesimilian was in his domain, and the management of Prince Flanders and some policy support from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Czech Duchy made that territory develop very well. However, at this time he was also very embarrassed, because the newly formed Republic of Austria did not know what to do with this territory.

There is no doubt that it belongs to Austria, but at the same time the Austrian government is very difficult about this matter, simply because they cannot afford to offend the Czech principality, the Czech Grand Duke, or the brother of Mysimilian, Ernst Franz.

After much hesitation, Austria was prepared to ignore the region, and even senior government officials privately said that they could acquiesce in the creation of a small duchy by Mysimilian. Of course, you can take this as a hint or as a "personal" offer, but in any case, things are very difficult for Austria.

Although Romania had also seceded from Austria-Hungary, the royalist forces in the country still had the upper hand. By this time, however, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had fallen, and in any way it was always good to keep a low profile, especially since the Soviet government had a strong influence in southern Europe.

Although the Soviet government was unique, its overall strength should not be underestimated, and the British and American countries were still ready to rely on him to contain the Czech principality and the new Russian Empire, and it was quite normal to make some compromises in southern Europe, and the British and American countries did not have too strong a desire for southern Europe.

The Czech principality is very interested in inheriting the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but the Czech principality is a defeated country after all, and it is not easy to keep the existing territory. Although the British and American countries did not want the war to continue, if the Czech principality believed too much that they would not hesitate to fight, the result was naturally self-evident, and the Czech principality would definitely be the defeated side regardless of the length of time.

None of the dignified Allies could withstand the attrition of the British and American powers, and a small Czech principality naturally needless to say. Originally, Ernst was planning to quickly put Messimilian on the throne when the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed, but the situation in Austria was unexpected, and the British and American countries had no time to take care of this. And when Ernst came to his senses, the best opportunity was missed, and even now Ernst was able to fight only in Hungary, which was secondary.

The royalists in Austria were completely expelled, and Hungary, despite the complicated situation, still had a chance, and a large number of spies from the Department of Homeland Security of the Czech Principality went to Hungary to prepare for this.

Christmas 1918 was just over a month away, and this year's Christmas Eve was perhaps the happiest since 1914, and even the defeated Germany was a little lit up.

Defeat is a blow to the national heart, but peace is naturally the first element in daily life. At this time, the tragedy was only the royal family and the aristocratic generals, who were in power, and for the children of the common people, the difference between whether the country was imperial or republican was not too big.

The Allies had surrendered, and the specific reparations were still in the process of being carried out urgently, and although the cabinet members of the Czech principality were busy, they were indeed relaxed at this time. Anything that hangs in the balance is something that is scary, and once there is a result, a conclusion, and whether it is good or bad, it can always make people feel a little relieved.

The citizens of the Czech Principality are believed to have a very happy Christmas this year, a large number of soldiers have retired from the army, family reunions are the happiest things, and singing and laughing are already doomed. The same is true in the royal family, where Archduchess Maria is about to arrive in Prague from Siberia. The same refers to family reunion, as for whether it is happy or not, it is estimated that Ernst himself is not sure, but there is a Jessica and a little princess in the suburbs.

In mid-November 1918, the Empress of the Russian Empire, Maria I, came to the Czech principality from Siberia through the territory of the Soviets, and the arrival of the hostess made the servants in the palace very nervous, they were afraid that something would implicate them, knowing that the mistress who returned at this time was no longer the Grand Duchess Maria.
