Heil dir im Siegerkranz,

Herrscher des Vaterlands!

Heil, Kaiser, dir!

Fühl in des Thrones Glanz

Die hohe Wonne ganz,

Liebling des Volks zu sein!

Heil, Kaiser, dir!

Good luck with the crown of victory.

Ruler of the Fatherland!

We wish you well. Emperor!

In the glory of your throne

Feel its great joy fully.

Beloved of the people!

Good luck, Emperor!

A militaristic state where the military owns the land.

The imperial anthem wishes you well....

Where shall I go to war?

You warmongers!

***

As the coronation drew to a close, I sat down on the throne and began to speak.

I told everyone to relax.

"Today I accept my responsibilities and duties as the third Emperor of the German Empire. I will continue the great legacy of my ancestors and lead it to prosperity and peace, and under my rule, the German Empire will remain a strong, united nation."

"...?"

"One nation? Isn't the German Empire a federal state?"

"...Does that mean you're going to expand imperial power?"

Are they born politicians?

They were interpreting my words, giving them meaning.

I hadn't even started.

"The whole world will have to respect our supremacy, and we will ruthlessly crush all challenges that stand in our way. East, West, South, North.... No one will be able to stop the expansionist march of the German Reich."

"...!!!!"

"All citizens of the German Reich! Be loyal to the Reich. Be enthusiastic for the Reich. And die for the sake of the Reich. .... Die, for on the basis of your sacrifice your descendants will enjoy unlimited glory."

"...!!!!"

"Until the day we fulfill the German dream, our German Empire will move forward like a train without stopping. Long live the German Empire! Long live the German Empire!

"Long live the German Empire! Long live the German Empire!"

"Long live the German Empire! Long live the German Empire!"

"Long live the German Empire! Long live the German Empire!"

.

At the end of the speech, the Coronation Hall was filled with the cheers and applause of the nobility and royalty.

A powerful Germany.

A hegemonic Germany.

An expansionist Germany.

Some of the Junkers were moved to tears when they heard the words best suited to the militaristic German Empire.

They were young beauties, so they looked very sweet and lovely as they sobbed.

[And so the coronation of Wilhelm II, cheered on by the Junkers and the imperial court, is recorded as a historic moment opening a new chapter in the German Empire].

"Wouldn't it be nice if it went down in the history books as -?"

"What?"

"Even on this beautiful day, conspiracies to bring down the German Empire are still lurking around every corner. And I was able to find evidence of this not long ago...."

"...!!!!"

"...!!!!"

"...!!!!"

Treason.

The faces of the Junkers turned rotten at the mention of my having proof.

For the Junkers, who have had a vested interest for centuries through their allegiance to the House of Hohenzollern, treason is not only a capital offense, it's a pariah....

If things went badly enough, the emperor could be at the helm of the army throughout William II's reign.

Freedom.

For the Junkers, who wanted freedom from the military, it was a disaster.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. What the fuck kind of asshole tried to start a rebellion?

It's a conspiracy.... Did he sell secret military information to the British Empire, or the French Third Republic, or the Russian Empire?

Wilhelm II wouldn't have produced evidence that didn't exist, no matter how flimsy, damn it. This is going to be a bloodbath.

Is this how we Junkers' dreams die?

Unlike the Junkers, who rolled their eyes, the Reichsführer's expression changed only slightly.

They were confident.

Confident that not even the Kingdom of Prussia could draw a sword on them.

However, their expressions quickly turned sour at my words.

"The doctor of the Kingdom of Saxony killed my mother, and .... A doctor from the Kingdom of Saxony crippled my arm. This is all the fault of the Kingdom of Saxony."

"...!!!!"

"His Majesty's arm was crippled by an English doctor..."

"Shut up. My arm was crippled by a doctor from the Kingdom of Saxony."

"..."

"I only hid the fact because my grandmother and mother didn't want their relationship with the Kingdom of Saxony to suffer..." ".... The memory still haunts me. The sight of the doctor from the Kingdom of Saxony looking at me with a sinister expression and subtly smashing my arm to pieces...."

In a past life I was

"An English doctor killed my father, and an English doctor crippled my arm. This is my mother's fault."

-said.

But this life is different.

I used my mother's death as a springboard to take on the Kingdom of Saxony.

Did I have a bad premonition when I started my speech?

Albert, King of Saxony, darkened at the mention of the new Emperor of the German Empire placing all the blame on himself, and quickly hardened at the mention of holding the proof.

With a trembling voice, he turned to me anxiously.

How does it feel to have a dirty man, who isn't even a beautiful woman, desperately looking for me? ....

This is so fucked up.

"Your Majesty...."

"But, Albert. You don't think the King of the Kingdom of Saxony is trying to get away with the cowardly act of confession, do you?"

"Of course not, sir, but.... I only wish to prove my innocence to the world."

"Prove your innocence...?"

At Albert's words, I stroked my chin and thought to myself.

"He's talking shit. What kind of insolence will get me out of the pit of death?

Albert, King of the Kingdom of Saxony.

He's a dangerous old man who's been in politics as long as the lines on his forehead.

To put it bluntly....

If I didn't have the unprecedented title of 'Emperor of the German Empire', I would be no match for him in terms of political power.

That's why I must get rid of him today.

I must use any means necessary to accomplish my task of uniting the empire.

It is the only way forward for the Aryan people.

"..."

While I was lost in thought, the coronation hall, which had just been filled with madness, was filled with a deep silence.

The Junkers, the Fang Clan, and the Imperial Family were all expecting a grand party as soon as the coronation was over.

The scent of the noble blue blood that was to be shed from that day on was the rawness and ferocity that naturally flowed from the indecisive William II.

He is by no means an indecisive emperor.

Compared to the emperors of the past, who waged wars and expanded their territories at will, .... his authority and majesty never waver.

Ah.... We've been deceived all along.

William II. What on earth do you hope for!!!'

A cold silence filled the room.

Everyone's eyes are downcast, thinking about what is to come.

"Your Majesty!!"

"Oh. My faithful servant, Bismarck, why have you summoned me in this atmosphere?"

"I beg your pardon, my lord.... I, a faithful servant of the German Empire and Your Majesty, have something to offer you right now."

"This is ....."

Dressed in her Prussian uniform, she walked over to me and offered me a document sealed in luxurious black leather with both hands, then immediately dropped to her knees, her eyes downcast.

The problem was that the eyes of Albert, the monarch of the Kingdom of Saxony, as well as several Junkers and other princes and emperors, danced like mad when they saw the black leather that Bismarck handed them.

This kind of reaction, while others scratched their heads at the documents Bismarck handed them....

What?

Are you advertising that you want to fondle me?

***

I started to tear open the document, but Albert, who was always as calm as a political puppet, quickly stopped me.

"Kaiji! Stop it!"

"But why, Albert?"

"Your Majesty is the most exalted person in the German Empire. What do you think is in that leather briefcase, a goddess terminal?"

Several high-minded Junkers nodded at Albert's words.

The problem was that the man handing them the briefcase was Bismarck, a man whose loyalties lay with MAX.

"You don't trust Bismarck, I trust my loyal servant."

"..."

"Besides, the arrogant tone you usually use to look down on even me is gone, and you're anxiously searching for your luggage in this urgent tone..." "...."

"..."

"I suppose this document, dedicated to my faithful servant Bismarck, is that important?"
