On November 11, 1918, Germany officially announced its surrender. German representatives signed the Armistice of the Forest de Compiègne in the Foch carriage at the station of the Forest de Compiègne in the northeast of the country north of Paris, thus ending the First World War.

......

"Have you treated the soldiers who have returned victoriously? What do you think? "

A strange experience, Earl, unforgettable."

"Yes, but did you come back early?"

"I think the most important thing is to let those soldiers rest well."

"So you're rushing back now..."

"Of course, to reward the heroes of this war." You say yes, Mr. Count, who killed more than 4,700 people.

Queen Mary pounced and gave Accardo a big hug.

"Please maintain your manners, Your Royal Highness."

"It's all to blame on you, Mr. Accardo, although I am 51 years old now, because I am a vampire, my physical functions and appearance remain when I was young."

As soon as Queen Mary finished speaking, her appearance changed, and after a while, she became a young girl in her 20s.

"You're really unreasonable, Mei."

"You finally called me Mei again."

The young girl smiled and winked at Accardo.

Accardo was a little amused by her reaction, raising his right hand slightly, but there was no further movement.

Mary grabbed her hand at great speed, rubbing his palm against her hair and cheeks.

"Are you coquettishly coddling me in disguise?"

"No, you took your hand first."

"Okay, just keep talking like this."

"Forget it, I admit it's my fault, after going through this war, it should be a little abnormal. Where is the country headed? Dear Count.

Queen Mary's hand gripped his arm, and her eyes revealed a rare confusion.

"Remember what you told me before, just do your best in the process, and leave the rest to time to decide."

......

One night in 1920 –

"So, this is the castle?"

"Well, yes, to be precise, it's Palazzo Merupado."

A huge Gothic castle stands in front of Accardo, with tall walls made of goose yellow and ivory brick and dark red spire roof, bringing a touch of solemnity and solemnity to the whole building.

The only regret is that the palace has not yet been completely completed, only a general outline. Even the Gothic style is evident from the small spires on all sides, and the main building in the middle has not yet been built.

"Construction had started eight years ago, but it stopped halfway through the war and didn't start again until three months ago."

"Why is it that after such a terrible war, it takes time and effort to build such a big project?"

"On the one hand, the reason for my perseverance, on the other hand, the king also hopes to show a positive attitude and outlook to the world and the people through this huge project."

"So, does it correspond to the Palace of Westminster, but it's a good place."

"yes, do you think so too."

Queen Mary's eyes curved into two crescents, and she said with some joy.

"I'm leaving these days."

"Where to?"

When Queen Mary heard this, her brows couldn't help but furrow. The world war brought her unease, and she was reluctant to let Accardo go, but...

"The United States."

"Okay then..."

For powers such as Wiegand that are expanding overseas, they rely heavily on overseas trade. But when war broke out, they didn't have as much energy to continue trade. In the competition for overseas trade, it is natural to start lagging behind.

The United States successfully became the successor of these countries, declaring its neutral position at the earliest stages of the outbreak of World War I. Then, it began to develop trade in Latin America and the Far East. Constantly consolidate the interests in these places and reap a large number of foreign trade interests. During the First World War, they firmly held some important resources in their hands. Especially Latin American countries. Like the coffee of Barcy, the oil of Mexigo, the tin mine of Zhili, and so on.

During the war, the production of those participating countries was greatly affected, especially when the war reached a stalemate. Both sides did their best, and they feared that they would fall behind. They will import a lot of things from abroad, from military supplies to everyday consumer goods.

The huge gap in trade made Wiegand have to be soft on the United States and had to pay in gold. Compared to currencies that can depreciate at any time, gold is a hard currency. During World War I, the United States held 40% of the world's gold in its hands.

At this time, although the force of the United States is not as good as that of Wiegand and other countries, it has the capital to make them soft.

Get maximum benefit with minimal losses in the war.

Of course, Accardo also made a lot of money, and his cooperation with Urenye Maru made his wealth skyrocket.

......

1926 -

"What's wrong, Earl.

"She would be a good queen."

After hypnotizing all the people around him, Accardo looked at the infant girl and said out loud, as if he saw the advent of an era.

"Elizabeth, how so? The future king should be Edward, and the heir should not..." Queen

Mary looked at the baby girl who didn't know anything yet, her face surprised, but she did not continue to question Accardo. Because decades ago, she didn't believe she could become queen.

"So what should I do now?"

"Don't do anything, May. I brought you here just to let you see the birth of a generation of queens and nothing more, not to hope that you would change anything. Watching her grow up safely was enough.

"Oh, dear Count, are you able to see through the future?"

Queen Mary looked at Accardo with a hint of affection and admiration.

"Looking through the future, far from being so exaggerated, just knowing a little more than others."

"Stop being stunned, Mei, you are still needed in this era, don't slack."

"Oh, I understand, Mr. Count."
