Chapter 306: East Prussia and the "Qin State"

Ernst and Mrs. Sun cannot be regarded as a subordinate relationship, to be precise, the two are cooperative, Ernst needs to use Mrs. Sun or Mr. Sun's influence to offset his improper "lease" behavior, and what Mrs. Sun wants is to maintain the interests of the people in this land and a certain sense of ownership. The female governor is just the title of the Four-Nation Alliance, in fact, Madame Sun has never admitted that she is a governor, she now uses her personal name.

Because of the Quadruple Alliance, many things that would have happened in history have not happened now, including the Japanese side, the Soviet side, and especially the Japanese side, which are completely two extremes from history, because the suppression of the Russian Empire Japan has not risen at all in this world, and has been trapped in a small island country and more than half of the Korean Peninsula.

Without the three eastern provinces and the Central Plains, without these resources, it would be difficult for Japan to traverse the East Asian region as Ernst did in his previous life, and its naval strength is indeed very strong, but it is simply wishful thinking to expect the current Japan to compete with Britain and the United States, and even the Japanese navy at this time does not dare to step out of its own waters.

The premier of the Beiyang government was changed again, but the people of Yanjing, who had become accustomed to it, were no longer interested at all, whoever became the prime minister was roughly the same, living in this period they could only live one day at a time, and death was not terrible because they were numb.

Fengtianfu is under construction, not only Fengtianfu, with the arrival of a large number of resources and appropriations, this area that has just been handed over is under construction. For those advisers from the Russian Empire and even Warsaw, Madame Sun did not mean to look down on or let go, and arranged them in quite important positions one by one.

Mrs. Sun is not a politician, her purpose is to make the lives of ordinary people here better. Naturally, she knows very well how to do it. The set she was familiar with obviously couldn't achieve her effect. Therefore, he had to turn to the wealthy advisors of the Quad Alliance, and this behavior also made those advisers have a great affection for this lady.

The entire Quadruple Alliance is a county, and the administrative area of the village is only in the legend, and now that this land has been leased, and it is still leased for a hundred years, they naturally have to follow the system of the Quadruple Alliance, and Ernst hesitated for a long time for this land and decided not to incorporate it into the Russian Empire.

Hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land (including parts of the land ceded to the Russian Empire during the Manchu dynasty and the Korean Peninsula) formed a new state, Qin, yes, Qin. The entire state of Qin was subordinate to Ernst. Ernst was also the king of the land, yes, a king and not an emperor.

Mrs. Sun was also very satisfied with this result, compared with the integration into the Russian Empire, the name of the country has naturally satisfied many Chinese, and even because of the word Qin, many overseas Chinese and wealthy businessmen have invested in the construction of this new country, even if this country is not recognized by any country. Ernst didn't care about this either, after all, the country's territory was still "leased", and it was up to people to recognize it or not.

The Qin State also uses the euro, diplomatic relations, and the military are all four-nation alliance systems, and to be honest, this is the main reason why Ernst doesn't care if it is not recognized. As long as the Council of the Quad is responsible for everything, it will be able to develop with peace of mind. To prove their good intentions. Qin and China were completely interconnected, which meant that there were no tariffs or restrictions on entry and exit, except for special periods. In fact, the entry and exit review is also very strict, but it is not strict in other aspects but in terms of health, as long as you do not have a large infectious disease, Qin will not restrict entry and exit.

Not many people are paying attention to Qin now, because the firepower of the revolutionary army has been aimed at Wu Peifu, and this unlucky old guy is about to become the first object of the revolutionary army's rise. The Yanjing government, the warlords in various places, and the revolutionary army, all their energy was focused on this battle at this time, and the Qin State ...... There is something that has been overlooked.

In fact, this is also the result of the warlords' deliberate cause, it is not good for you to admit this Qin State, and it is inappropriate not to admit it, after all, this is a matter unanimously approved by the Yanjing government and the independent governments of the three eastern provinces. But you admit that it may have a bad effect, after all, this is a "cession" of territory.

At this time, the southern government had already begun to make small achievements, and the fixed territory and the reorganized army were all favorable conditions for the southern government to march into the north, but it was a pity that there was still a big gap between their strength and that of the northern warlords, otherwise the revolutionary army would have invaded the north.

When Zhang Zuolin went to Yanjing from Tianjin, Ernst had already begun to attack East Prussia. At the beginning of April 1925, more than a dozen heavyweight diplomats of the Four-Power Alliance came to East Prussia to make open contact with the German generals in East Prussia...... East Prussia has completely lost contact.

East Prussia began a new region-wide vote, and the official vote on the question of the ownership of East Prussia was not the first time, but this time was undoubtedly the most important, and everyone knew that once the result of the vote appeared, the Kingdom of Poland-East Prussia-Lithuania would be established.

There was no doubt that Wilhelm II did not want to see such a thing, and the German government, the former Kaiser, and the Quadruple Alliance began to engage in direct confrontation over the matter of East Prussia, and each other began to strive for more votes in speeches. The Quadruple Alliance was a just country, and if East Prussia really lost the vote, then it would not be good for Ernst to directly and forcibly occupy East Prussia, which was the only chance left for Germany.

Presidential Palace in Berlin

"How's it going?"

Hindenburg wiped the sweat from his forehead, this is a crucial time, even the president of a country Hindenburg can't help but be nervous, even if he is a soldier.

"6.2% Mr. President, there are still 25 hours left until the end of voting."

Three days, three full days of voting, nearly two-thirds of the way has passed, but the German government ended up with only 6.2 percent of the vote, which is a great irony. Of course, compared to Wilhelm II, who still wanted to become the king of East Prussia, his results were not bad, you must know that the emperor Wilhelm II only won 0.3% of the votes, and the shame was lost to the whole of Europe. In fact, everyone knew from the beginning that this would be the result, which is why Britain and France let William II Baba run to run.

"Give it up! This is not the right time to offend the Quad Alliance, we still need them in the future. ”

With a faint sigh, Hindenburg chose to give up competing with the Quad Alliance, in fact, he didn't want to compete with the Quad at first, he just wanted to make the Quad Alliance make some compromises in other things, such as economic and military ......

Royal Palace of Warsaw:

"Your Majesty, great joy! We received 89% of the votes of East Prussia, which is destined to be ours and to you, His Majesty the King! ”

The official from the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom was very excited to shout in Ernst's study, if it was usually Bert would have been very dissatisfied to stand up and reprimand, but today he did not, he was also very excited, and even this official's shouting was very pleasing to the eye in Bert's eyes, but it was a pity for his identity, otherwise he would have accompanied the other party to do so.

"This is something that was expected from the beginning, there is no need to be so excited!"

With a faint smile, Ernst, who was practicing calligraphy, was calm. But the mouth is simple, is Ernst really so calm? Bert, who knew him well, could clearly see that the writing was rarely distorted, which was quite rare for Ernst, who had been studying for five years.

With a land area of more than 40,000 square kilometers, a population of more than 1.8 million, and an economic level of more than 80 million euros, such a place has not brought an increase in the overall strength of the Four-Power Alliance, but also a lot of international influence in Ernst.

The state of Qin, the Kingdom of Kazakhstan, and East Prussia, as these places became the territory of the Quadruple Alliance, the population under Ernst's direct rule has exceeded 80 million, of which the most populous area is the Far East, accounting for one-third of the whole, but it is also the poorest place in the entire Quadruple Alliance.

The combined population of the Kingdom of Hungary, the Czech Duchy, and the Kingdom of Poland-East Prussia-Lithuania was just over 20 million, and on average they were only 7 or 8 million each.

Speaking of East Prussia, it may be the first place with the most peace of mind, whether it is the Kingdom of Kazakhstan or the Qin State, these newly formed countries need strong financial support from the Four-Power Alliance, but East Prussia alone not only does not need any economic support, but can even stimulate the overall economy.

The arrival of East Prussia forced the Quadruple Alliance to add a new army group, and the commander of this army group was none other than Brauchitsch, the former major general of East Prussia. The deputy commander of the army group was a descendant of Ernst, Rommel who came from the German Army but was trained at the Royal Czech Army Academy.

At this time, Germany's generals from World War II began to appear one by one, but this time they stood in the position of the Quadruple Alliance instead of Germany, but this also changed their original tragic fate. Most of the German generals are still lieutenant officers, and Rommel, the major general and deputy commander, is the fastest promoted among them.

With the arrival of East Prussia and the establishment of the Qin state, the next thing Ernst had to do was to visit these two places, after all, he was the de facto ruler, and there was no reason why he should not show his face and let his subjects know his king.

Visiting these two places is nothing, and many officials of the Qin State have expressed different opinions, not because they are discriminatory or targeted, but simply because they are not worried about Ernst's safety, after all, this needs to pass over the head of the Soviets, in case someone beats them with more hands......
