President Ludwig could only nod in agreement with the military control of Germany discussed by Britain, France, and Australia.
After all, he had not yet seized control of Germany, and he knew that the support of Britain, France, and Australia was indispensable if he wanted to take charge of the whole country.
And after President Ludwig agreed, a ceasefire finally began on the Western and Northern European battlefields.
This was good news for President Ludwig because Rommel's Group B of the army could finally be released from being tied down by the British-French-Australian forces and could move east to support the federal government.
Some of the forces in Group B had been persuaded, and they were quite dissatisfied with the Imperial government that had been primarily pro-war.
During this time, some of the Junker nobility began to contact President Ludwig, including Manstein, who had repeatedly opposed the German Chancellor.
