From the Czech Duchy to the Russian Empire, from the Russian Empire to the Kingdom of Hungary, from the Kingdom of Hungary to the Kingdom of Lithuania, and now from Poland - the Kingdom of Lithuania of East Prussia, the Kingdom of Kazakhstan, the Kingdom of Qin, and the Czech Duchy after the annexation of Slovakia, Ernst's imperial road has gone farther and farther.

Ernst didn't know what lay ahead, and he didn't want to think about it, because it was probably an abyss, and of course it could be heaven, but most people are pessimistic creatures, especially a king, and his first thought should be the worst, not how everything will go well.

The three sons and a nephew Ernst were very satisfied, and his women were also very satisfied, Maria was a qualified queen, and Jessica and Anne were qualified mistresses, and they never dragged Ernst down anything, especially Maria, who really gave a lot of things to Ernst.

A puppet empress did not say anything, because of his own conflicts, and Nicholas II often expressed his dissatisfaction with her, because on many occasions Maria refused to introduce those nobles of the Russian Empire.

In fact, Maria also has her own ideas, the Quadruple Alliance is a new country, everything here is new, including his political system, she is very reluctant to let those nobles who stick to tradition destroy everything that Ernst has created, and for those open-minded nobles, in fact, Ernst has already been entrusted with important tasks without her introduction.

The future master of the country was her own son, and Mary knew better than anyone what to do, and she knew better how Ernst had control over the country, and if Ernst wanted to, he could see the head of any nobleman the next morning.

There is one thing that is very taboo in the Quadruple Alliance, and that is mutiny! In particular, the rebellion against Ernst, the Czech Grand Duke, the king of Lithuania, the king of Kazakhstan, and the emperor of Qin, because rebellion is equivalent to giving up everything. There is simply no chance of success and survival.

As she grew older, Maria began to like to go to places like schools and hospitals, and royal life was actually quite monotonous, especially in a time when most entertainment was not available.

The Slovak affair has made Europe, the United States and East Asia very nervous, especially in Eastern Europe, and those other countries are very worried. Fear that one day Ernst will set his sights on himself.

In fact, they don't need to worry so much, Ernst, who has just acquired Slovakia, will not make a big move, because Ernst has always believed that the country is far inferior to social stability, and only when Slovakia is stable will Ernst consider other problems, and it is impossible to completely stabilize Slovakia without three years.

In 1933, Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, the Third Reich was formed, and at the same time, Japan increased its army spending to increase its influence on East Asia, and the coastal line fell one after another. The Nationalist government was in disarray, and at this time Mr. Chiang was still sticking to his policies......

At this time, Germany was almost Hitler's decision, Hindenburg was already 85 years old, and his control of the country was far less than in previous years, but Hitler's disguise was recognized by Hindenburg, which grew step by step to the current level.

Hindenburg was a typical German aristocratic background, and at the same time he was very close to the German royal family, and spent his internship at the royal palace after graduating from the military academy. Frederick. Wilhelm IV's mother once gave him a pocket watch, which Hindenburg was very impressed. But in every war, he would wear a pocket watch with him.

He was a second lieutenant in the Kingdom of Prussia during the Austro-Prussian War, an acting regimental commander during the Second Franco-Prussian War, and with the unification of Germany by the iron-blooded Chancellor Bismarck, Hindenburg attended the royal ceremonies as a representative of the troops, which was something he was proud of all his life.

In 1872 Hindenburg was promoted to captain and was also placed at the Military Academy in Berlin, where he worked in the Army General Staff Headquarters. Their bosses, Moltke and Stephen, admired this aristocratic officer who had a close relationship with the royal family, and naturally rose through the ranks.

In 1903 he was promoted to army commander, but at this time he made the mistake of defeating the Kaiser's army in a military exercise, for which he chose to retire because he believed that promotion was hopeless. The year was 1911 and he was 64 years old.

In the small town of Hanover, he leisurely lived his reading life, and also analyzed some classic battles and military books, it is undeniable that Hindenburg has made great progress in this process, both in character and military ability.

When World War I broke out in 1914, it was also an opportunity for Hindenburg, but when he went to the General Staff Headquarters to hope for the appointment of the commander of the Fifth Army, he was told that the current Fifth Army had been held by the crown prince, for which he could only apologize to him.

Whether it was the previous Kaiser or the crown prince this time, although they hindered Hindenburg, but because of the internship in the palace, Hindenburg was still very loyal to the royal family, and he did not think that there was anything unfair because of this, that is, the matter in front of him, in Hindenburg's heart, he also decided that it had nothing to do with the crown prince.

In the ensuing years, Hindenburg was restless about the successes in Germany, and a few months later he again asked for an appointment, this time the General Staff did not refuse, and a few days later the special car arrived at the Hanover railway station to receive him.

Hindenburg was assigned to fight against the Russian Empire on the Eastern Front, but unfortunately, he did not know that it was the defeat at the front that led the General Staff to agree to appoint him as a veteran.

At the end of 1914, Hindenburg, who had distinguished himself on the battlefield, was promoted to field marshal, and he was also the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of all German forces. Especially after the end of the First World War, the actions of the Czech principality were regarded by Hindenburg as ungrateful and betrayal!

In 1916, Hindenburg was promoted to Chief of the General Staff, and it was precisely because of Hindenburg that Germany held out for a few more years, otherwise the stalemate had already made the German soldiers tired of the war.

When the revolutionary movement broke out, the chancellor advised the Kaiser to abdicate and pass the throne to his grandson, but the Kaiser refused, and then the Kaiser wanted to command the army to suppress the revolution, and Hindenburg bluntly told Germany that the army would not obey the Kaiser's orders.

At this time, the Kaiser was forced to reluctantly say that he could give up the throne and only hoped to retain the throne of the King of Prussia, but no one answered.

In November 1918, the Berlin Revolution broke out, the Republic was proclaimed, the Chancellor had passed the election, and the Kaiser's position was very awkward.

He has always been loyal to the royal family Hindenburg without the slightest dissent, but in such a situation, the Kaiser was very angry with Hindenburg, and even hated him for it all his life.

Wilhelm II had it not been for Hindenburg's obstruction, he would never have been reduced to exile, and perhaps he was still the emperor of Germany and one of the decision-makers of Europe.

Although Hindenburg was the second war criminal after the First World War, he never left Germany or the army, and he once openly said: "Brothers, I am certainly not sure how far I can speak for you and the Entente, but I will always do my best to get you the best conditions I can get......

In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed, the German High Command was dissolved, and the 72-year-old man was disarmed and returned to the field, his influence was undoubted, even before the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, but the chancellor also specifically asked whether to boycott the Versailles Treaty, Hindenburg did not know how to answer, and his silence made the chancellor think that it was tacit approval.

Hindenburg hated politics, but he was such a man, after his disarmament, he frequently appeared in various public appearances, and he repeatedly stated that Germany was not defeated, it was only betrayed by the revolution, and if it were not for the revolution, Germany would probably be the victor of the war.

The Treaty of Versailles strongly condemned the Kaiser for his actions and held him accountable, to which the old man made it clear that he could stand in court in place of the Kaiser and leave him at their disposal, but he did not receive an answer.

When Germany's first president died of illness in 1925, and no candidate received a majority of votes in the ensuing elections, the chancellor personally went to Hindenburg's place of residence to invite him to run. In April of the same year, Hindenburg ran in the elections and was eventually elected president with 14.6 million votes.

In 1930, Germany transitioned from a parliamentary system to a dictatorship due to the economic crisis, and Hindenburg even surpassed the Kaiser in power, and this continued until Hitler became chancellor.

For Hitler, in fact, Hindenburg did not like it very much, and even secretly said that he could be the Minister of Posts at most, but because of the rise of the Nazi Party and Hitler's relationship with the imperial family, Hindenburg could only support him. Of course, there were some contradictions between the two men, but regardless of the process, Hitler did get his wish to become Chancellor of Germany, and as Hindenburg began to gradually abandon power at an age, Hitler's rise to power was almost unstoppable.

For the veteran Hindenburg, even if he didn't like him very much, Ernst still maintained respect, and over the years he gave a valuable gift on every birthday Ernst, and Hindenburg accepted them one by one, at least on the surface, both of them behaved very well.

Hindenburg's life was almost perfect, and the only thing that caused a "stain" was perhaps his appointment of Hitler, although if Hitler had won World War II, it might have been a different ending. (To be continued.) )
