My German Empire

Chapter 27:

Although the various war plans mentioned by Wilhelm sounded unbelievable, they would definitely fight the Soviet Union and land in the United Kingdom in the future. At that time,maybe the United States will also join in.

But these are plans after all. Given the current situation of Germany, even if he wants to start a war, it will at least be a decade later. Maybe he will unfortunately die by then, and will not have to worry about it.

But right now he has to take on the responsibility of being the crown prince. "You are eighteen years old this year, right."

"Yes." Wilhelm's heart shook, and a bad feeling flashed through, is it possible that.. ?

Sure enough, what William II said next really fulfilled his premonition. "The little granddaughter of the Krall family is also sixteen this year. How about you take some time to meet up in a few days?" He mentioned this to Wilhelm two years ago. (With the permission of their parents, the Germans when 16 years old can get married. The premise is that both parties to the marriage are at least 16 years old. Young people who are at least 18 years old can get married without the consent of their parents because they have grown up and have rights and legal capacity.) But at that time Wilhelm was eating and drinking every day, he was not interested in marriage at all. Now Wilhelm has matured a lot, and it's time to get married.

"Forget it." Wilhelm refused without thinking.

"Why? I see that the little girl has a pretty face."

Wilhelm curled his lips. "This family is a chess piece in my plan. After ten years, this family will have to disappear. All members of the family, whether men, women, old or young, will be locked up in concentration camps to do coolies. Their family property and funds will be nationalized. How can I marry her? ."

William II was shocked. "What? What plan?!"

Wilhelm replied, touching his chin. "The plan is not yet complete, but I will remove all the worms that only get in the way, disobey the imperial power and hinder Germany all the time. Germany can only have one voice, that of the Emperor. If anyone dares to violate, they will become the enemy of Germany. Of course, I will not be merciful to enemies. Since they cannot change their minds, I can only destroy their bodies."

"..." William II asked after staying for a while. "Even if they are Junker nobles?"

Wilhelm nodded without hesitation. "Of course, the Junker nobility is the primary goal."

William II shook his head slowly. "That will cause turmoil in the country. Don't you know how powerful the Junker nobles are?"

Junker ( Originally referred to the children of nobles without any title of nobility, but later it was referred to Prussian nobles and big landlords, originated in the 16th century.

Leading the German Unification Movement and the establishment of the Second German Empire in 1871 were the nobles of the Kingdom of Prussia, the Junkers, and the Bismarck family was their representative.

Therefore, after the reunification of Germany until the collapse of the Second German Reich in 1918, Junkers controlled most of the country's power, especially the military power.

But after the second industrial revolution, German capitalism developed rapidly and entered the stage of monopoly capitalism or imperialism at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. As the power of the capitalist grew, they also shared a part of their power. It was the Junckers who had real power and actually controlled the state. However, these Junkers increasingly shared common interests with them due to their capitalistic approach to agriculture and investment in industry, and expanding armaments to prepare for foreign wars of aggression.

In this way, Germany at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century showed characteristics that other imperialists did not: On the one hand, the Junker aristocratic landlord controlled the state power; on the other hand, the bourgeoisie also shared power and had entered monopoly capitalism. The imperialist stage. Therefore, Lenin summed it up as "Junker bourgeois imperialism."

How could Wilhelm not know, and smiled disapprovingly. "Of course I know, Grandpa. But luckily they are a group, not a single person."

Seeing that William II didn't seem to understand what he meant, Wilhelm continued to explain. "I like what Marx said, 'With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent will produce eagerness, 50 percent positive audacity; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime which it will not scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged'." He took a piece of white paper from the desk, drew a triangle and two more horizontal lines forming a pyramid shape.

"If I erase the richest and most powerful group of people on the upper level and distribute the wealth and benefits to the lower two levels, will they still object? For them, their income will double. What reason do they have to refuse?As for the Junker officers referred to the top of the pyramid, I want to secretly develop non-Junker officers, if someday those guys come to resign collectively...", suddenly he heard a cold snort coming from William II.

"What's wrong? Grandpa?"

William II's face was a little angry. "It's nothing, I just remembered that these officers threatened me with resignation more than ten years ago."

"..." was there such a thing? Yes, it seems that the division of troops on the Eastern Front was the compelling result of the pressure from the Junker nobles. "The same thing will never happen this time. I have confidence, grandpa. I can assure you that the whole of Germany will unite even more after this plan is implemented."

William II nodded suspiciously. "Very well. But you are 18 and you should start a family."

Fuck, in the original time and space he was around 30 years old and not anxious about marriage. Why are you so hurried about? "Germany is now a weak country. As the German crown prince, how can I dare to think about my personal affairs first. Grandpa, don't worry about this matter. I will naturally get married after Germany becomes strong again. I think I can acheive it in 15 years. This is my wish. It will not be too late to get married then."

After listening to his words, William II was so moved that he almost burst into tears. It would be great if his unbelievable son had half the ambition of this grandson. Then he can abdicate early and take care of his life.
