World War I had a great impact on the world economy, especially the position of the economic hegemon was almost replaced, and in fact, although Britain did not admit it, the United States had surpassed Britain and began to gradually widen the distance between the two.

On the eve of the World War in 1913, the world hegemon at that time was the United Kingdom, and based on the industrial level of 100 in 1900, then in 1913 the industrial value of the United States had reached 126 and the United Kingdom was only 115. The world war largely weakened Britain's economy, which is why the distance between the two is widening.

At that time, the industrialization level of Germany was only 85, France 59, Austria-Hungary 32, Italy 26, Russian Empire 20, and Japan 20, and the gap between the strongest and the weakest was more than 6 times. With the Entente occupying the top two places and Germany, the strongest of the Allied powers, separated Japan by only two-thirds, the defeat of the war was not inevitable, but it was not surprising.

Why does Germany want to take the continent as quickly as possible? The aim is to reduce the gap between the two, after all, the level of industrialization can only be perfectly reflected in a protracted war.

In 1913, Germany was the second largest producer of steel in the United Kingdom, but it was still some way from the United States, or almost half as much as the United States. Although the United States consumes four times as many resources as the second-ranked United Kingdom, the United States, which has a vast territory and abundant resources, does not need too many imported materials. In 1913, the United States accounted for about 32.0 percent of world trade, followed by Germany with 14.8 percent.

With the end of the world war, there will naturally be some changes in the economic rankings of various countries, and the United States will not move first, or even more distant from second. In second and third place were Britain and France, and Germany had already withdrawn from these rankings because of the war reparations, and it was even believed that the Czech Duchy would soon be able to surpass Germany in the rankings.

All in all, the economy of Europe was very depressed at this time, of course, there was hope in the eyes of the citizens, no matter how good the economy is, it is better than the war, and there is hope for people as long as they live, which the citizens of Europe have deeply experienced.

Rebuilding Europe requires a large amount of steel and other building necessities, and the Czech principality, which has long been prepared, competes with the United States for the first time, and even if the low-cost and high-quality goods are provided by the defeated Czech principality, everything is no longer important in the face of profits, and 100% of the profits have been able to make the businessmen pay everything, not to mention that it does not require to pay for their lives but only offends the United States.

To be honest, the status of the Czech Republic in the hearts of Europeans is far greater than that of the United States, especially in the eyes of some aristocrats, the United States is the homeland of cowboys, the synonym of desolation and barbarism, and even the British aristocrats bluntly say that Americans have a smell of cow dung, which is very disgusting.

The status of the Americans in Europe is not much stronger than that of the Orientals in Europe, but with the end of World War I and World War II, the United States successfully proved itself with its own strength, which not only made Europeans dare not underestimate but also made them a little afraid, because the United States was the world hegemon after World War II. Of course, it is too early to say this, the seizure of the market by the Czech principality has already caused the wrath of the United States, and it is conceivable that revenge against the American capital consortium is imminent.

First of all, the U.S. government made some policy proposals for the identity of the Czech principality as a defeated country, but these proposals were not approved by the European countries, compared to the United States to continue to develop, Britain and France were willing to make the Czech principality stronger, after all, in a certain respect, the Czech principality is its own people.

The Czech principality did not disappoint the British and French, and in the same month that a large number of construction materials contracts were signed, the Czech principality began to increase its military presence on the Soviet-Czech border, which made the Soviet government nervous.

As the status of the Czech Duchy continued to grow, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade was established, and Crispin, a Jewish merchant from England, became the first Minister of Foreign Trade. At the same time, it was also a special arrangement for some disputes within the Czech principality, and this Minister Kristin and Jessica are of the same family.

Rosa's birth touched the nerves of many people, especially after Ernst recognized Rosa's status as a princess, there was a lot of change in the cabinet. But soon Ernst enacted a law in the Czech principality that did not allow women to inherit the throne, which temporarily quieted the already turbulent cabinet.

Maria was never a good woman, Rosa's birth was a threat to her, and although she would not do anything to make people angry, it was normal to suppress it slightly.

With the arrival of Maria, the relationship between the Russian Empire and the Czech Duchy became closer and closer, and many Russian generals, nobles, and officials came to the Czech Duchy and held some important positions. Ernst's friend in St. Petersburg, Major General Tolubko of the New Russian Empire, was also in the Czech Principality, where he was serving at the Ministry of Defence.

In the eyes of these Russian nobles, there is no doubt that Mary is their dependence, and they surround her in the hope that her son will inherit the throne in the future, and only in this way is in their best interest, and their interests are the most secure.

In fact, it wasn't just them, but Ernst wasn't it? If it were not Maria's son who succeeded to the throne in the future, then the Czech principality and the Russian Empire would be two empires, and only their sons would inherit the throne, and the Czech Principality and the Russian Empire would have the possibility of becoming an empire. Yes, just maybe. The example of the Austro-Hungarian Empire should not be overlooked, and ethnicity is a big issue, especially at a time when the nationalization of the state is becoming more and more obvious.

Kristin became Minister of Commerce and Trade and a member of the cabinet was a warning to the Russian faction, and at the same time, several Russian nobles were also removed from their posts, and it was not clear what Ernst thought in their hearts, but at least the cabinet of the Czech principality was quiet for the time being.

At this time, the cabinet of the Czech principality was a hodgepodge, with officials from Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Russian Empire, and the Czech native forces concentrated in one government, and it would be false to say that there was no struggle and competition among them. Fortunately, in the short term, everything is still going well, but in the long run......

There are nine ministries directly under the Cabinet of the Czech Principality, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Social Resources, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and the Ministry of Industry.

In addition to the direct departments of the Cabinet, there are the Royal Intelligence Service and the Ministry of Homeland Security and the Royal Guard, as well as the noble parliamentarians and the House of Representatives in the Czech principality. The former is mainly to make laws to contain the government, while the latter is to provide various local proposals for the election of parliamentarians in the provinces and regions.

The royal family has full authority over the members of the House of Nobles and a veto in the House, while the House of Representatives has the power to supervise government departments, especially local judicial decisions.

If the Czech principality at this time is compared to the Ming Dynasty in the East, then the aristocratic parliamentarians are equivalent to the domestic servant cabinet such as the celebrant supervisor, and the cabinet is still the cabinet, and the House of Representatives is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's Guozijian. However, compared to the government students who did not have the right to do so, the members of the House of Representatives had the right to participate directly in the judiciary.

The members of the House of Nobles need to be carefully selected, and the president of the House of Nobles at this time is Ernst's brother-in-law Flender, who is honest and simple and can be called a medieval knight, is very new to Ernst, so Ernst is also relieved to put this important right in his hands.

In fact, Flender did not fail Ernst's new appointment, he played an important role in several important decisions, not only did not let Ernst show the surface, but even did things perfectly.

The House of Nobles is like the celebrant of the Ming Dynasty, they have an important responsibility to control the cabinet, that is, to bear the blame for the emperor. Good deeds are undoubtedly the work of His Majesty the Grand Duke, and if it is a sinner or something unpopular, then it is the fault of the House of Nobles, and they will stand up and take responsibility for it.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were not a few eunuchs who died for this, and although the Czech principality did not have such a cruel punishment, it was inevitable to lose their officials and be dismissed. If a historian studies the functions of government in the Czech principality, it can be found that it is very similar to the Ming Dynasty, because Ernst also has the notorious "East and West Factory" Royal Intelligence Service and the Ministry of Homeland Security.
