Chapter 1 The Second German Family
Wandering in Neuschwanstein Castle, admiring reliefs and oil paintings hanging on the walls. Sun Yu once again felt a sense of disorganization. He repeatedly compared the similarities and differences between the castle in 1889 and the castle 125 years later. In this plane, his soul came to this world in 1880. And now, he has lived in this world and in the Wittelsbach family in Bavaria 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. As well as a feeling of integrating 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 Bavarian photographer Wang Changsun, the future Bavarian royal crown prince and family leader - Ruprecht Maria Lutpod Ferdinand.
To be honest, Sun Yu's time travel was very successful this time, at least he was born in a very noble family. He could surpass more than 90% of the time traveler predecessors in terms of material, political status, and even military power! The Bavarian royal family is considered the second family in Germany, and the only one higher than it is the only family of the German Emperor Hohenzollern. Even in the whole of Europe, the Wittelsbach family is also a top noble.
As for his body? It is also famous in history! When the German Field Marshal and Schliffen plan were implemented in the first battle, the commander of the Bavarian Legion, commander of the Sixth Army, had more than 200,000 troops and nearly 800 artillery. He successfully resisted the French offensive on the Western Front. He has always served as the commander of the German Army's army-level command since then. In the Battle of Fland in 1918, the troops controlled by Ruprecht **** reached its peak, with 2nd, 4th, 6th and 17th in his hands, a total of 4 armies! With 83 divisions of combat units! An army group named after him was established! If such a huge scale was put into the second battle, it would be at least at the level of Manstein and Zhukov!
As a time traveler who graduated from the mechanical major and amateur military and history enthusiasts, when thinking about his "predecessor" in history, Sun Yu felt extremely stressed! From the peaceful people to the marshal, this distance seems to be an exaggeration to describe it as a Long March! However, this guy also had heroes in his late age. He was called one of the most capable generals among all the royal members of Germany (note, one of them, and even more NB). However, with the failure of Germany in the first battle, the German Field Marshal would never have the chance to ascend to the throne that originally belonged to him. In the second battle, because of his opposition to the Nazis, he had entered concentration camps and was released after the end of the second battle. The first half can be described as a pride in spring, while the second half is more miserable.
As a time traveler, it seems that he should have the idea of changing his fate and laughing at the world. However, after ten years of travel, Sun Yu did not think so much. As a person with a certain understanding of history and a relatively good understanding of military history, combined with what he saw and heard over the past ten years, Sun Yu knew how difficult it was to change his destiny! He was not the disabled William II with one hand, nor the son of William II. Although the Wittelsbach family was NB, they were shrunk in a corner of southern Germany.
The German central government does not usually interfere in Bavaria's internal affairs, but I, well, even my grandfather, now the number one leader in Bavaria! It is difficult for the Regent Louis Bold to have a significant impact on the internal affairs and diplomacy of the German Empire. (Does the BB party feel a little familiar with this name? Yes, you guessed it right, a certain Caesar-class battleship was named after him!)
So in the first year after the time travel, Sun Yu's goal was to become a rich noble at least after 1 war, and the highest goal was naturally to obtain the crown that should have fallen on him! If you are rich, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be safe! It is best to be a king. If you can't be a king, you must spend your life well! This is Sun Yu's goal, which is very realistic!
However, although the situation is very serious, there is still good news. I don’t know if it was my time travel that triggered changes in time and space or some metaphysical changes. History had some deviations in the 1880s. What made the protagonist most pleased is that William II, a naughty child, did not ascend the throne in 1888! The one who is on the throne is still his father Frederick III!
Frederick III, who developed to the late stage of laryngeal cancer due to misdiagnosis by the doctor, did not die. After undergoing surgery in 1887, the prince, the emperor for 30 years, and the emperor who had been in the history of 99 days, escaped this great disaster. Although his health is still not good now, he sat firmly in the emperor's position! Sun Yu sometimes couldn't help but YY. If the old emperor knew the past history, would he have some benefits? For example, a platinum medal with a weight of one ton of diamonds.
Of course, the meaning of a simple old emperor's reign is limited. The most important thing is that the iron-blooded prime minister still controls the internal affairs and diplomacy of the empire! His Majesty the Emperor does not seem to have any intention of touching the prime minister. At least the telegram sent by the plenipotent representative of Bavaria in Berlin is written like this! It is obviously best to continue to take charge of German internal affairs and diplomacy in hundreds of years. Sun Yu even hopes that the Prime Minister can live a hundred years long, or even stop fighting, and then wait for himself to bring the crown safely in 1921! Well, it's very good!
Of course, this thing is just to think about it when you are fine. You must think more about everything and be prepared to do better. Although I am the eldest grandson of the king, there is also a father who is the regent and a grandfather who is the regent. (Bavaria died inexplicably when he took office as king, so the real power of Bavaria was the regent of Louisebord. When his son, Ludwig III, he ascended the throne and became the king of Bavaria. Sun Yu had to sigh that the water inside was so deep!) He, a 20-year-old alternative to the third generation, should not jump out now. Although Bavaria is not big, not even half a Hebei Province, there are really many things inside, which is really annoying! Even though he was a human being for two lifetimes, he is still a little difficult to deal with!
