The Rise of the Empire

Wander around Neuschwanstein Castle, admiring the reliefs and oil paintings hanging on the walls. Once again, Sun Woo had a confused feeling, and he repeatedly compared the similarities and differences between the castle in 1889 and the castle 125 years later. His soul came to this world in 1880 on this plane. And now, he has been in this world, living in the Bavarian Wittelsbach family for nearly 10 years!

"But it's good, at least on this plane I have experienced the power and luxury that ordinary people can't believe. And a feeling of being integrated into the tide of history, and rewriting and influencing history." Sun Yu smiled slightly. After 10 years of royal life, he has now adapted to the identity of the eldest grandson of the Bavarian photographer, the future Bavarian crown prince and family leader - Ruprecht Maria Luitpold Ferdinand.

To be honest, Sun Yu was very successful in this time-travel, at least from a very noble background. Whether it is material, political status, or even military power, more than 90% of the traverser predecessors can be thrown away! The Bavarian royal family can be regarded as the second family in Germany. The only one higher than it is the Hohenzollern family of the German emperor. Even in the whole of Europe, the Wittelsbach family is one of the leading aristocrats.

As for his body? It is also famous in history! German Field Marshal in World War 1, when the Schlieffen Plan was implemented, the commander of the Bavarian Army and the commander of the Sixth Army. It has more than 200,000 troops and nearly 800 artillery pieces under its command. And successfully resisted the French offensive on the western front. Since then he has been in command of the German Army Group, and in the Battle of Flanders in 1918, Prince Ruprecht's forces reached their peak, with the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 17th in his hands. , a total of 4 army groups! Combat units with 83 divisions! And set up an army group named after him! If such a huge scale is put into the 2nd World War, it is at least the level of Manstein and Zhukov!

As a mechanical graduate, an amateur military and history enthusiast, Sun Yu feels a lot of pressure when he thinks about what his "predecessor" has done in history! From a civilian in peacetime to a marshal, this distance seems to be too far to describe with the Long March! However, this buddy also has a heroic age. He is known as one of the most capable generals among all the royal family members in Germany. The German field marshal will never have a chance to ascend the throne that belonged to him. In World War 2, because of opposition to Nazi rule, he also entered a concentration camp. It was released after the end of the 2nd war. The first half can be described as complacent, while the second half is miserable.

As a traveler, it seems that he should have the idea of ​​changing his life against the sky and proud of the world, but after ten years of travel, Sun Yu did not think so much. As a person who has a certain understanding of history and military history, combined with his ten years From what he has seen and heard over the years, Sun Yu knows how difficult it is for him to change his destiny! What I passed through was not Wilhelm II, who had a disabled hand, nor the son of Wilhelm II. Although the Wittelsbach family was NB, they were shrunk in a corner of southern Germany.

It is true that the German central government generally does not interfere in the internal affairs of Bavaria, but it is, well, even its own grandfather, the current number one in Bavaria! It is also difficult for Prince Regent Luitpold to have a significant influence on the internal affairs and foreign affairs of the German Empire. (Are you BB parties familiar with this name! Yes, you guessed it, a certain battleship of the Caesar class is named after him!)

So in the first year after the time-travel, Sun Yu's top goal for himself was to become a rich enough aristocrat at least after World War 1, and the top goal was naturally to get the crown that should have fallen on his head! Being successful will help the whole world, and being poor will be good for you! It's best to be a king, if you can't be a king, you have to spend your life well! That's Sun Woo's goal,

Very realistic!

However, although the situation is very serious, there is still some good news. I don’t know if it is because of my own travel that caused the change in time and space or some metaphysical changes. History has undergone some deviations in the 1880s, and among these deviations, the protagonist is the most Fortunately, William II, the bear child, did not ascend the throne in 1888! Now on the throne is his father Frederick III!

Frederick III, who was delayed due to misdiagnosis by doctors and developed to advanced laryngeal cancer, did not die. After the operation in 1887, he had been a prince for 30 years and emperor for 99 days. Sadly urged the emperor to escape this catastrophe. Although he is still in poor health, he is still sitting firmly in the emperor's seat! Sometimes Sun Yu can't help YY, if the old emperor knew the past, would he benefit from it? Like a platinum medal full of diamonds weighing a ton or something.

Of course, a simple old emperor's reign has limited significance, and the most important thing is that the Jagged Prime Minister also controls the internal and external affairs of the empire! And His Majesty the Emperor doesn't seem to have any plans to move the Prime Minister, at least that's what the telegram from the Bavarian Plenipotentiary in Berlin says! It is obviously the best thing to have this genius, which is rare in Germany for hundreds of years, continue to be in charge of Germany's domestic and foreign affairs. Sun Yu even hoped that the Prime Minister can live a long life, or even stop fighting, and then wait for himself to wear the crown safely in 1921! Mmmm, very nice!

Of course, this thing is to think about it when you have nothing to do. Everything has to be more difficult to think about and be prepared to do better. Although I am the eldest grandson of the king, there is still a father who is preparing to be a king, and a regent. The grandfather of the king. (The death of the last king of Bavaria is a bit inexplicable, so the real power of Bavaria is the regent of Luitpold, and it was only when his son Ludwig III became king of Bavaria that he became king of Bavaria. Sun Yu had to sigh, inside. The water is really deep!) I'm just a 20-year-old candidate for the third generation, so don't jump out now, don't look at Bavaria, it doesn't even have half of Hebei Province, but there are really many things in it, it's really annoying. ! Even though the two worlds are human, the current self is still a little difficult to deal with!

As a soldier, the young traverser thought that he should start with the army and farming, but in fact he did! For example, tomorrow afternoon, he will discuss advanced fighting stance with his uncle, a big guy who is even bigger than him. And this morning, I want to report to my father the research results of farming over the past few years! The seeds planted since 1883 are finally coming to fruition. All the pre-technical preparations and administrative work have been completed, and it’s time for Dad to pay for the promotion! How can the prince not be nervous at this critical moment?
