"The German Empire is to become the Empire of the World. In the far reaches of the earth, everywhere should be inhabited by our fellow citizens. German goods, German knowledge, German diligence to sail across the seas......"

Emperor of the Second German Empire, King of Prussia and head of the House of Hohenzollern Friedrich. William. Victor. Albert. Feng. Hohenzollern, 1905.

The war was still going on, and under the call of Baron Alexon's great prestige, countless Germans began to flock to Berlin. Perhaps it would be safer for them to live in enemy territory, but it was just the life of a slave, and that life was no different from that of the walking dead.

To Berlin - to fight - for the freedom of Germany!

Groups of Germans arrived in Berlin by various means, and under the strafing of enemy planes and the bombardment of enemy artillery, they came to the city in battle.

Among these refugees, there was no doubt that a large number of enemy spies would be mixed in, and because of this, the Germans also intensified their searches in this area.

A new batch of refugees arrived, and the German captain in charge of the group quickly greeted them into Berlin and began to scrutinize them.

Among the Germans, there is a couple in their 50s who stand out. They were neatly dressed, walked calmly, and walked slowly and unhurriedly with the flow of people, without the slightest hint of anxiety.

At last it was their turn, but they found a woman with a little girl behind them, probably because of the weather. The little girl shivered from the cold. The husband quickly gave up his seat: "Captain, please let this lady and the child pass first." ”

The woman was grateful, and the captain couldn't help but say, "Sir." You are such a gentleman of integrity. ”

After a brief examination of the woman and her child, the woman and her child were released, and finally it was the couple's turn. The couple still behaved very calmly.

"Sir, may I ask your name, where are you from?" The captain asked politely.

"Hello, Captain. I'm Louie. Ferdinand. Victor. Edward. Albert. Michael. Hubertus. This is my wife, Kosfili, and we are from the Doron estate in the Netherlands. ”

The long list of names made the captain a little dizzy, but the fact that he was from the enemy-occupied Netherlands immediately alerted the captain. Maybe the other party is a spy? I heard that Berlin had just solved a spy case. Yes. Probably really could be a spy, and spies tend to pretend to be polite and polite to win favor with others.

The captain confirmed his thoughts, and the respect on his face disappeared: "Mr. Michael." I must give you and your wife a careful examination. ”

"Captain, you can't check on us."

Michael's answer was a surprise, and the captain was a little angry, and he was even more sure that there must be some ulterior conspiracy on the other side: "I must examine you." But before that I was curious. Why can't I get you checked? ”

"Because you don't have that power and qualification." Michael replied calmly, but there was no arrogance in his words.

The captain was very angry, he had never seen such a person before: "Sir, if you continue to refuse to check, then I will have to use force." ”

"Captain, please stay calm." Michael said lightly: "I know that this is your duty, and I don't mean to blame you in the slightest. But my identity is special. I want you to tell your superiors that Michael, the sole heir to the House of Hohenzollern, wants to see Ernst immediately. Marshal Bream. ”

The Hohenzollerns? What family is that? The captain had never heard of it. It can be seen that this Michael looks like this family, probably this family has some origins, right?

The captain did not dare to be careless. He had a vague sense that this matter was beyond his control. He hurried to call his boss.

At this time, Michael and his wife watched the city with affection......

．．．．．．

"The heir to the House of Hohenzollern? Not mistaken? ”

"Yes, at least that's what he said."

"That's the descendant of His Majesty the Emperor." Wang Weiyi tidied up his military uniform: "Tell Your Highness that I will go to him soon." ”

Descendants of His Majesty the Emperor - descendants of the last German Emperor Wilhelm II!

In Germany, although Wilhelm II was the last emperor and Germany under his leadership lost the First World War, the vast majority of Germans believed that the responsibility for the defeat should not be borne by Wilhelm II, and still had full respect for Wilhelm II and his family in exile in the Netherlands.

As for Germany, Wilhelm II and his family also fully demonstrated their loyalty.

On January 22, 1933, the crown prince sent a letter to Hindenburg, urging him to authorize Hitler to form a cabinet, and Wilhelm II provided 2 million marks in aid to the Nazi Party. For Hitler's brilliant victory in the early stages of World War II, Wilhelm II also sent a telegram to Hitler to congratulate and praise him.

In May 1940, when Hitler occupied the Netherlands, Wilhelm rejected Winston. Churchill invited him to England for political asylum, with kind advice, preferring to die in the Netherlands. On June 5, 1941, Wilhelm died of a pulmonary embolism in Doren, the Netherlands, and was buried at the Doren Manor, where Hitler held a small military funeral for him, attended by several hundred people. His tombstone bears the inscription: "There is no need to praise me, for I need no appreciation." Don't give me honor, because I don't want honor. Don't sanction me, because I'm about to suffer"......

Until his death, Wilhelm II did not forget his country. And as for his son, Crown Prince Augusta, and Ernst. Field Marshal Braham and Richthofen also had some unusual relations.

Michael was Augusta's second son, and it stands to reason that the crown prince's position should be given to the eldest son, William. Friedrich. Franz. Joseph. Christian. Olaf came to inherit, but unfortunately in 1931 Joseph gave up his inheritance because he married a commoner. So Crown Prince William's second son, Michael Elli, became the heir to the House of Hohenzollern.

At such a critical time in Germany, the appearance of the head of the Hohenzollern family was of great help in boosting the morale of the German military and civilians.

"The baron canonized by His Majesty the Emperor - Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Marshal Bream has arrived! ”

In deliberately doing so, Ernst. Marshal Bleum appeared in front of Michael. He bowed slightly to Michael respectfully: "Welcome home, Your Highness!" ”

Welcome home – Your Highness.

When these words came out of the baron's mouth, Michael burst into tears for a moment. For many years, my grandfather and father did not want to return to Germany, but they were not able to realize their dream until they died. And at this moment, I am back on their behalf.

"Thank you, thank you, Your Excellency." Michael controlled his excitement and said, "There is no need for you to call me Your Highness anymore. Now we are no longer the rulers of Germany. ”

Wang Weiyi replied: "Yes, there is no emperor in Germany now, but I will never forget it." It was who elevated me from a commoner to a knight, who gave me great power. No matter what became of Germany, I always had a great deal of respect for His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Michael was relieved that the baron was still the same baron he had been. Although this was the first time he had met the legendary Baron Alexon.

The Second World War broke out. After the Baron's first return, he exchanged telegrams with his father many times, sending greetings to each other, and he had heard of the Baron's glorious legend from his father countless times. Especially on that occasion, he and Field Marshal Richthofen risked their lives to rescue their father.

"Your Highness, this place is very dangerous, please follow me to a safe place."

"Really? Is there still a safe place in Germany now? ”

"Of course, if you think it's safe. Then it must be safe. Wang Weiyi smiled and said: "Even if the enemy attacks Berlin, Berlin is still safe." ”

Michael smiled: "You are exactly the same as the baron that your father said he was talking about. I never knew what fear was. ”

After inviting His Royal Highness and his wife into the car, Wang Weiyi whispered to the adjutant beside him: "Inform Firth and investigate the authenticity of the identity of His Royal Highness and his wife." Also, bring Leonie here. ”

At such an extraordinary moment, he had to be cautious, and he would not allow himself to make any mistakes.

When they came to their office, Wang Weiyi asked Michaeles and his wife to sit down, and at this time they were a little embarrassed about each other's identities. Although the Michaels were the heads of the Hohenzollern family, descendants of the former German emperor, and Wang Weiyi was theoretically their subordinate, at this moment, the status of both parties has changed dramatically.

Wang Weiyi is the real leader of Germany.

However, this does not seem to be a barrier to the conversation. Wang Weiyi opened his mouth and asked, "Your Highness, I am curious, why did you appear in Berlin at such a dangerous moment?" ”

"This is my homeland, although we have been overthrown." Michael does not shy away from the history of his family's overthrow: "And now that my country has suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, I must return, and those old grievances cannot stop us." ”

"To be precise, His Majesty the Emperor was not overthrown, but took the initiative to abdicate." Wang Weiyi said: "When His Majesty the Emperor leaves us, you will probably know that he still has a high reputation in Germany and is still missed by many people. I'm glad to see you back in Berlin, although it's not the best time to do it. ”

"We Germans don't just pay lip service." Michael said and pulled out a check: "Your Excellency, this is 2 million dollars, representing myself and the support of the Hohenzollern family for Germany. I know that this money will not make a decisive difference to the war, but I hope you will accept it. ”

"Of course, Your Highness, I also thank you on behalf of Germany." Wang Weiyi expressed his gratitude.

It is true that this money did not help Germany to turn the tide, which at least shows the attitude of the Hohenzollerns: they have never had any grudge against Germany, and they still love the country dearly.

"Baroness Alexon has arrived."

With this voice, Baroness Alexon Leonie walked in.

Michael and Cosfili immediately stood up and welcomed the Baroness in. They know the truth. When Leonie was still a countess, they were royal guests and were highly respected by William II and his wife. It even has a say in decision-making on some major domestic issues.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, you are so beautiful and young." Michael exclaimed sincerely.

"I am also very happy to see you, and I can see at a glance that you have the blood of His Majesty the Emperor in your veins." Leonie's status is much higher than that of the Michaels, and even if it is still the emperor's time, the identity of Baron Alexon cannot be compared with her, so she only faintly expresses her welcome to the Michaels.

When the group sat down again, Leonie suddenly said, "Is the neighbor's mill all right?" ”

"Ahh Of course, ma'am. Michael was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "When there is a conflict between legal and personal interests. The law must be strictly followed, even if the person is the emperor. ”

This is a well-known story in Europe and an illustration of the supremacy of German law over the emperor.

The German Emperor Wilhelm I built a palace in Potsdam, and an old mill is not far from the walls of the palace. Once. Wilhelm I visited Potsdam. I stayed in the palace and climbed to the top for a panoramic view of the city of Potsdam, but many of the views were blocked by the mill. William I was so discouraged that he ordered his attaché to go to the owner of the mill and dismantle it as soon as he bought it. But the owner of the mill despised the emperor very much, and said to the people who came to negotiate: "My mill has been passed down from generation to generation, and I cannot calculate its value." ”

William I was furious and immediately had the mill demolished. The mill owner was not afraid of this. While standing by and watching it be demolished, he said to himself: "The emperor can do such nonsense." What else is the use of the laws of our country? ”

Soon after, a lawsuit was filed in the Supreme Court for the matter. The Supreme Court ordered Wilhelm I to rebuild the mill and compensate the mill owner for the damages under German law. William I had to rebuild the mill that had been demolished.

Decades later, both William I and the owner of the mill died. The son of the owner of the mill could not keep his old business and went bankrupt, so he wrote to the emperor at the time, Wilhelm II, hoping to sell the mill to Wilhelm II, and told the story of his father and Wilhelm I. After reading the letter, Wilhelm II was very emotional, and wrote back in his own hand:

"Lovely neighbor, how can I bear to let you lose this inheritance? Do your best to keep this inheritance and pass it on to your descendants so that they may be under your lordship for generations to come. This matter is of great importance to our country, and this mill should be preserved for a long time as a memorial to the independence of the judiciary and the impartiality of our adjudication. You are in great difficulty, and I have great sympathy for you, and I present you with 6,000 marks to pay off your debts. Your dear neighbor William Fu. ”

After receiving a letter from Wilhelm II, the owner of the mill did not mention the sale of the mill and taught his children and grandchildren to cherish this ancestral legacy, so the mill has survived to this day.

Leonie's "neighbor's mill" is the story.

But then Leonie went on to ask: "When His Majesty the Emperor gave that neighbor 6,000 marks, do you know what he said to your father?" ”

"Of course, I once heard my father say that. His Majesty the Emperor told him at that time, 'This mill should always exist, and when we feel that we have supreme power, and feel that we can do whatever we want, we should go to the mill and have a look, and we know that the law of the Dao is far greater than that of the Emperor.' I used 6,000 marks to guarantee a commemorative sign of impartial law and an independent judiciary, and I think I got far more than I paid for the '......'"

"He's the true heir to the House of Hohenzollern." Leonie turned her gaze to Wang Weiyi: "Except for the heir of the royal family, no one can know this sentence. At that time, Augusta also told me that he would pass it on to his son, the sole heir to the House of Hohenzollern. ”

This is the real reason why Wang Weiyi invited Leonie, who knows many secrets of the German royal family, some of which outsiders simply cannot know. She can easily judge the authenticity of the other party's identity.

Wang Weiyi was also relieved, and he said without concealment: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude, at such an extraordinary moment, I must judge the authenticity of your identity." ”

"I don't blame you, Your Excellency." Michael didn't care at all: "You have the responsibility of leading the whole of Germany, and any mistake will make us lose this war in the end." And I came back this time to see what I could do, and to ask you to tell me what I could do. ”

"I want you and your wife to tour Berlin." Wang Weiyi was not polite: "Your appearance will once again inspire the confidence of the German military and civilians to fight to the end, and in Europe, some families with a long tradition will also consider the attitude they adopted in the war because of the appearance of the head of the Hohenzollern family." ”

He had to use all the power at his disposal, and these ancient families, who still wielded great prestige and power in Europe, were undoubtedly one of them. They will exert unimaginable power in war, even though they are no longer rulers.

Of course, that's not all, Wang Weiyi has more on his mind. He has to take everything that can be used, or whatever he can use, to the extreme, and finally make it achieve what he wants.

And all this was done for the sake of Germany's most reluctant victory! (To be continued......)
