Chapter 181: On the Eve of the End of War (6)

PS: Today's subject one exam, last night's temporary memorization, forgive me for one less chapter, but it is estimated that the recent update will not be stable, the thesis opening report needs to be handed in on Friday, and the thesis teacher also hopes to hand it in when he leaves after the exam on the 18th, very busy and busy! I hope the brothers will understand!

The military parade in the Czech principality was also held before the surrender of Germany, and this was probably the last gathering of the German royal family! The result is already doomed, and the emperors of the countries at this time have also let go a lot. This time, the military parade of the Czech principality gathered monarchs from Austria-Hungary, the German Empire, the United Kingdom of Great Britain, the Kingdom of Italy and other European countries.

It was clear to everyone that at this time the kings of Europe had practically little power, so there were few options to refuse the invitation of Ernst, the archduke of a rival state. France arrived with a vice president, even the United States, the secretary of state, and several generals in person.

Prague Palace Ribert was busy, after all, this can be regarded as the last grand occasion Ernst could not but be more solemn, the crimson marshal with the golden tassels and epaulettes are unique to Ernst, who is already 24 years old, he is too young and too young compared to the guests who arrived.

Youth is capital, this is not an empty word, if Genghis Khan was not because of his age, it is estimated that Europe is still under his shadow at this time. Caesar, Napoleon, Genghis Khan...... One by one, the names appeared in the hearts of the distinguished guests, and Ernst was still so high-spirited in such an environment, and it was no wonder that the kings of Europe thought so.

Archduke Ferdinand was also among the invited guests, and seeing that his youngest son had begun to be a little strange, Archduke Ferdinand's heart was very complicated. If Ernst had not left Vienna and had succeeded to the throne of Austria-Hungary, would the situation in Europe have changed somewhat?

The answer is only clear when it really appears, and thinking too much at this time is just an empty word. Archduchess Sophia had completely different ideas from Archduke Ferdinand at this time, she was only proud of her son, and the only one who could stand with these people in the Habsburg family over the years was Emperor Franz, and now ......

Father...... Weng Weng

I don't know when the parade began, and the first thing that appeared was naturally the fighter group that Ernst had not revealed! More than 300 of the latest fighter jets of the Czech principality stunned the generals and military advisers from all over the world, not to mention the agility they had just shown to outperform them for a whole decade.

At this time, there was no such fancy, but the straightforward scene of the swarm alone was enough to shock anyone, the sky seemed to be obscured, and the whole of Prague seemed to be shrouded in death.

If, if these fighters are in the skies over their capital, then what should they do? Not only Britain, France, and Italy also thought the same thing, but even the distant United States looked at Ernst with a slight panic. You must know that the Czech principality also has its own power in Asia, and it is not impossible to cross the Pacific.

With that faint smile on his face, Ernst waited for the arrival of the army, as if he had not seen the expressions on the faces of the European dignitaries. Compared with the Air Force, the Czech Duchy is famous for its land force, which is not inferior to the German Army.

"In a few years, the Czech Republic has been a country that is not inferior to Austria-Hungary, but it's a pity that ......"

Wilhelm II had a hint of old age on his face, and even he could not help but worry about the successive defeats in the war, after all, the most unlucky people after the defeat were not the generals who held real power, but he, the German emperor.

"We are all members of the Allies, and our interests are aligned."

What else could Ernst say at this time? However, Ernst's words were not all appeasements, and the Czech principality, Austria-Hungary, and the German Empire were really of the same origin in the final analysis. Whether it was the Germanic Empire or the Holy Roman Empire, this was the difference between them and England and France.

As if to understand what Ernst meant, Wilhelm II couldn't help but smile. Oh, yes! Although the German Empire was defeated, was the Czech Duchy in some ways the successor of the German Empire? Central Europe still belongs to them, to them to the Germanic peoples!

"The wedding of Misimilian and Victoria is taking place next month, and I hope you will be here by then!"

The parade also gave Messirian a gift, that is, Wilhelm II no longer hesitated, Messimilian was also 26, he was not young at this time, and he was engaged to Victoria for many years, and it was also time to get married and have children, and give birth to new offspring for the family.

Since losing power, Archduchess Sophia's wishes seem to be placed on these things, I don't know who said about Jessica, and the castle on the outskirts of Prague is a place she frequents in the past few days.

"Mesimilian is my older brother, and I will naturally attend his wedding. Uncle William, are you ready? ”

With a straight face, Ernst said something very vague but everyone understood, Wilhelm II's face was also a little ugly, but he nodded firmly: "This is the treatment that the defeated should have, I was ready 10 years ago, but I didn't expect this to be the result." ”

A hint of bitterness appeared on Wilhelm II's face, and at this time, a column of elite Royal Czech Army appeared in front of them. Seeing this like the rising sun, Wilhelm II of the Royal Czech Army couldn't help but look in the direction of Berlin, which was the rising sun that Germany...... It should be the sunset!

It was already noon, and the sweat was falling from the faces of the soldiers, but none of them wiped it, and they walked in orderly steps past the parade hall and in front of Ernst.

"Long live the Czech Duchy, long live the Habsburgs, long live the Archduke Ernst!"

Huhe, who belonged to thousands of boys, suddenly remembered that the eyes of Archduke Karl and Archduke Ferdinand on the side couldn't help but be a little moist, not for anything else, just for that one Habsburg family! For the first time, Karl thought that if the emperor of Austria-Hungary at that time was Ernst, then maybe the outcome would have changed somewhat.

Of course, it is too late to say this, even if there is a real chance to compare with Karl and will not give up the throne, after all, it is not tens of thousands of pounds or ordinary or even slightly expensive things, it is the crown of the crown, tens of millions of people, millions of lands, and untold wealth.

I could have changed all this, but because of my own courage to let everything continue as it is in history, Emperor Franz, I am ashamed of Austria-Hungary and you!

Looking at the different expressions on the faces of the heads of state and the royal family of Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Austria and Italy, Ernst silently said this sentence to Emperor Franz, who had gone to meet God. It wasn't true that he didn't have the opportunity to become the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, after all, he also vaguely understood what Emperor Franz meant.

But he did not dare to stay in Vienna, for the country was too old and too decaying to be controlled by a large ship that had decayed. Ernst wanted to protect himself first and foremost, and if he took over the ship, the only thing he could do was to die or open the sky!

Ernst had never been a gambler, so he chose to give up, he chose to build a new boat of his own, and now it seems that he did the right thing. Compared to Austria-Hungary, his Czech principality was easier to control and easier to survive in World War I.

I don't know when Archduke Ferdinand came to Ernst's side in a wheelchair, and he was very satisfied when he looked at his second son, who was much taller than himself. The responsibility of the Habsburgs should be inherited by their own line! Many years ago, the Habsburgs also split into the Spanish Habsburgs and the Austrian Habsburgs, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to be back in the past.

"Daddy......"

Suddenly, seeing Archduke Ferdinand beside him, Ernst opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Archduke Ferdinand's smile as soon as he spoke.

"The development of the Czech Duchy has been beyond my expectations, not only I believe that no one expected it to be so powerful, although you are a younger brother, but I hope that in the future you will be able to ......"

"Mesimilian will always be my older brother, I know that very well."

Unceremoniously interrupted Archduke Ferdinand, but this did not displease him, for he already knew Ernst's attitude towards Messilian, and that his purpose had been achieved.

Powerful was the first impression of the Czech principality after the parade, and the soldiers reminded them of the fierce German Army, and at the same time had fewer concerns than the German Army, the Royal Czech Army, who only had to obey the orders of one man, even if the order was wrong.

If at the time the Anglo-American Entente had some quarrels over what to do with the Czech principality, now they had agreed that it was not appropriate for the war in Europe to continue, and that it was not appropriate for them to be consumed with such a powerful authoritarian monarchy, because that would only please their political enemies.
