In 1805, Marshal Edwin Fryer von Mandoffill was born in Magdeburg. In 1828, he became the chief of the cavalry of the First Hussar Regiment of the Prussian Royal Hussar Regiment and became the chief of the guard of Frederick William IV. In 1857, he was promoted to the chief of the Prussian military cabinet. It was not until 1878 that he retired from the chief of the military cabinet of Emperor William I of the German Empire.

Since the old Marshal Mandofir left the First Hussar Regiment (the famous skeleton cap badge, the skeleton division of the World War II SS also originated from this), he has not commanded the battle on the front line. However, behind the three dynasty wars, especially the brilliant achievements of the three heroes of the German Empire, it is even more inseparable from the selfless support of the old Marshal Mandofir in the military cabinet.

You should know that the military cabinet chief is actually the right hand of the old emperor William I in military affairs.

The powerful soldiers and generals of Count Ron, Marshal Maudrach and others are just sharp swords in their right hand.

Marshal Mandofir, the old Knights Order Black Hawk Medal, the German Medal of Merit, a member of the Blue Marx Club, and the honorary colonel commander of the Forever Prussian Fifth Dragon Cavalry Division.

After hearing the old emperor's plan, Marshal Mandofir did not immediately agree to William I's request and immediately attended the military cabinet meeting to support General Kusher.

Instead, it was proposed that it would take some time to understand the opinions within the army before finally deciding whether to support General Kusher or General Alberdir.

The implication is that even if the old emperor supports his son, he must first put national interests first in the honor and dignity he deserves due to the military Juncker.

Looking at the old Marshal Mandofir with stubborn hair and beard, the old emperor could only suggest that the old Marshal should listen to the opinions of the army, but also listen to the opinions of German political and economic people, such as the old Marshal's cousin Otto von Mandofir.

In addition to the army, the Mandofir family had the representative of Marshal Mandofir, in Prussian politics, the old marshal's cousin, Otto von Mandofir, the famous politician.

Since 1850, Otto von Mandoffel, the most famous barrister in Prussia, has been permanently appointed as the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs by Frederick William IV.

However, from 1862 to 1866, the above two positions were held by the old Prime Minister Bismarck. When the Pakatan Harapan War ended and the old Prime Minister Bismarck became the prime minister of the North German Federation, these two positions fell again on the cousin of the old Marshal Mandofir, until today.

Everyone in Germany knows that Otto von Mandoffier is a famous enlightened Junker. As the drafter of the Prussian Constitution in 1848, he clearly stated that the Prussian government should be the mediator of the conflict of interest among the Prussian people, rather than a participant in competing for interests with the people.

During his tenure as the Prime Minister of Prussia in 1856, the Prussian government's state control in the coal, steel and financial industries was abolished, and instead promoted the privatization process of the above industries.

During his tenure as Prime Minister Bismarck, in order to limit the criticism of himself by the German press, Prime Minister Bismarck once used taxation methods, that is, to impose heavy taxes on all news media, to severely attack the German press.

After Otto von Mandoffier re-appointed as the prime minister of Prussia, he adopted a more gentle approach and no longer adopted a censorship system for news. Instead, he published articles that favor government policies in important newspapers and magazines, he could accept supervision from the news media and defend the government's behavior.

This is a major change in the relationship between the Prussian press and the state. The Prussian government is not imposing rules on the press, but operates together with all media on the stage of the press. In the words of Otto von Mandoffier, the government must "develop with the wide participation of the people in public affairs."

Reusing Otto von Mandoffel is actually a kind of balance in Prussian politics and an art of power for Frederick William IV to the old Prime Minister Bismarck, a person who cannot be used in troubled times.

Needless to say, Otto von Mandoffel's political freedom claim is exactly the same as that of Crown Prince Frederick.

In addition to Edwin and Otto, the heads of the Mandofire family, the second generation of the Mandofire family either served as officers in the Prussian army, as officials in the German political circle, or as famous lawyers and economic figures.

By the way, Edwin von Mandoffier's family has a total of 7 children. Ernst Mandoffier is the youngest son he got when he was in his sixties. In addition to Hasso, Ernst has five sisters.

It can be said that everything about the Mandofire family is closely linked to the two emperors of the Hohenzollern family and is the cornerstone of the Junker family that truly supports the German Empire.

If you want to listen to your cousin's opinions, Marshal Mandofir listened to this suggestion from the old emperor. Soon, Sir Gruthen, the largest capitalist from Magdeburg, the hometown of Marshal Mandofir, received the old Marshal together with Otto von Mandofir.

After learning that Chile has huge metal treasures, especially after learning that it has huge copper reserves, the old Marshal Mandofir, who understood the important role of copper in the military field, became a firm supporter of Crown Frederick without hesitation.

Then, the old marshal began to travel between his home in Potstan and the Charlottemberg Palace. After visiting the old emperor many times, he finally decided to attend the military cabinet meeting.

When he participated for the first time, the old-fashioned General Kamek, under General Albertill's "good intention", questioned whether Marshal Mandofir, who had retired, was still qualified to participate in the military cabinet meeting in front of the imperial court.

After all, the members of the Military Cabinet Conference are His Majesty the Emperor and the Generals of the Empire. Even if a retired marshal is qualified to attend, he has no right to speak or vote.

In William I's eyes, General Kamek's difficulties were nothing more than a technical problem.

At the second military cabinet meeting attended by the old marshal, Prince Erich von Hartmann, the new minister of William I, announced that according to the laws of Emperor William I, Marshal Mandofire was re-ordered to be in service. According to Marshal Mandofire's qualifications, under the consent of Emperor William I, the old marshal officially joined the imperial military cabinet again.

General Kamek was speechless about this.

General Albertill narrowed his eyes and looked at the old emperor sitting on his head. He thought in his heart that since he became the chief of the military cabinet, the old emperor has always been a hand-off manager, and the daily management of the German army has always been decided by himself.

But today it seems that he underestimated the wisdom of the old emperor. Marshal Mandofir's return to the mountains not only could suppress the opinions of the Ministry of War, but also as his former senior officer, Marshal Mandofir still maintained a huge influence on the military cabinet and the military forces of the entire Germany.

"It seems that the wind direction is about to change." Thinking of this, General Alberdir couldn't help feeling a dryness in his mouth.

How could an old emperor who could control the three masters of the German Empire and Marshal Mandofir and fought three dynasty wars without management?!

The balance of power in the military cabinet is reset to zero.

Returning to zero is not the original intention of Marshal Mandofir. The draw is a failure in the eyes of Marshal.

After deciding that Marshal Mandofir could participate in the military cabinet meeting and had the right to speak and vote, at the fifth military cabinet meeting, the old Marshal began a typical offensive performance of the Prussian Army.

"In my eyes, this Germanic national volunteer army can be regarded as another embodiment of the Prussian National Guard." The old marshal looked at the crowd at the military cabinet meeting and fired the first shot.

"The Prussian National Guard is a form of reserve for the Prussian Army and is still the army of the empire. His Majesty had already said at the previous cabinet meetings that this time the issue of Chile cannot send troops in the name of the German Empire." General Kamek retorted.

"General Kamek, please note that the reserve is not active service, and the National Guard is essentially just a militia organization in the empire, every federation." Marshal Mandofir turned his head and stared at General Kamek. His white beard, which was born to grow upwards, suddenly raised upwards, with a head of unruly gray-white hair, like a white tiger that cannibalizes.

"The National Guard of the Kingdom of Prussia is only His Majesty's personal armed forces, not the German Empire's army." Looking at General Kamek who was punched hard in the stomach, Marshal Mandofir made a domineering conclusion, "So, the Germanic National Volunteer Army will not violate the promise of His Majesty the Emperor and not sending troops in the name of the German Empire!"

"Dear Marshal, the members of the House of Commons (Party) have always opposed the expansion of the number of reserve soldiers." General Alberdir reminded with a smile on his face, as if harmless.

"Is Carl Twesten?!" Marshal Mandofir glanced at General Albertill meaningfully, and said in a long tone, "Is it the middle-aged man who lost to me, a 70-year-old man in the duel?"

The generals here burst into laughter without restraint, even in front of the old emperor, this occasion that requires always paying attention to etiquette.

General Alberdir blinked and glanced at the old emperor who couldn't help laughing. He seemed to laugh the most. Even General Kamek, who was serious and a little scary, couldn't help laughing.

"I fought with him once for the National Guard's government budget." The old Marshal Mandofir once again glanced at the members of the military cabinet, holding his gray heads and said proudly, "I am 74 years old this year, and I am still willing to fight with him again for the National Guard identity of the German National Volunteer Army."

Now, the laughter became even stronger.

"My generals." Old Emperor William I held back his smile and reminded, "to keep the due respect to Mr. Speaker Twester, especially you, Ed."

This calmed down the laughter in the conference room of the east wing of the Charlottemberg Palace.

"Cunning old thing." General Alberdir looked at the old marshal with a smile, and cursed in his heart.

I wanted to expand the war and evolve the issue of the Germanic National Volunteer Army into a dispute over the military budget between the Federal Court and the government, but I didn't expect that Marshal Mandofir was not fooled at all, but instead brought this matter to the grudges of the personal duel.

To really get the old emperor to agree to send Germans to support the Chileans in this Pacific War, it means that the Bolivian and Peruvian federal troops supported by him and Wadesi lost their political support from Germany. No matter how tolerant the old emperor was, he could not tolerate the shadow of his own power in the opposite enemy.

Economic speculation without political support may not only fail to make money, but also lose less money.

"This must be stopped!"

"General Kamek, in the name of His Majesty, sent military personnel abroad to fight only. In the "Military Unification Code", does there be legal support?" General Alberdir asked the Minister of War, who was sitting beside him with a sincere look on his face.

"Oh?!" General Kamek was obviously stunned when he said to General Alberdir, and subconsciously looked at the code at hand.

"No need to check!" Marshal Mandofir interrupted, "Send troops to protect the Germans in the name of His Majesty. This is a contract that was made thousands of years ago."

"As early as the ancient Roman era, if the northern barbarian kings and nobles on this land wanted to maintain their rule, they had to lead the way to defend the people in exchange for the loyalty of the people under their rule."

"For thousands of years, as descendants of the northern barbarians, we Germanic, Frank, Anglo-Saxon emperors and nobles have always been abiding by this contract, and have always regarded it as glorious, and have never violated it, and have always fought for the reputation of the nobles like a heroic knight facing the enemy."

"The emperor's obligation to protect his subjects is like the divine authority of the monarch, which is God's requirement for the honor of the monarch."

"Today, in the name of Your Majesty, I sent troops to defend the Germans far away from home. This is exactly what His Majesty the Emperor is fulfilling his obligation!"

Marshal Mandofir said that this contract from the barbarians from far north is simply said, "The rights and obligations between the monarch and his subjects are equal. If the monarch does not fulfill his obligations, the subjects will also have legal principles to end his rule."

William I didn't want to, nor did the generals here dare to give their subjects a reason to end the legal rule of the Hohenzollern family. Therefore, the only way is to prove the legitimacy of their power.

Hearing this, Emperor William I stood up and looked around the generals, and said firmly without hesitation.

"According to the contract I have signed with my subjects, I will wield my sword to defend my subjects. This is my duty and glory as the Emperor of the German Empire, and also the obligation and glory of all the generals."

"People who are willing to fight for the country and for the reputation of the family, please extend your hand and draw out your sword!"
