Chapter 35: Noble Class and Legionnaires

3rd pov

It has been 2 weeks since the Imperium Daciae was established, with Johan Von Rotenburg being crowned Emperor or "Cezar" of the Imperium, Dmitrievna being crowned Empress-Consort or "Augusta", as well as being crowned King and Queen of Jerusalem.

Ferdinand was crowned Crown Prince of the Imperium Daciae and the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

The negotiations with the Former Leaders of the Rebel Cells and Organizations bore a lot of fruit, managing to reach an agreement with them and thus preventing any unnecessary internal conflict.

The Rumeli Republic was established after the Treaty of Bucharest was put into effect, with some Dacian troops already being sent to Bunkhra, the capital of the Rumeli Republic, to occupy the Garrisons that were promised.

However, this Republic had started with several problems because of the Treaty of Bucharest, because of that, Evrim Pasha, Ex-Pasha of Magna Rumeli and now the 1st President of the Rumeli Republic, declared a State of Emergency in the first days of his Government, causing the country to become a dictatorship.

The Rumeli Blue Guard and the first troops of the Rumeli Republican Army were busy dealing with rebellions and protests, as well as hunting down any Royalist, Socialist, or Democrat in the country, making extra-judicial arrests and executing anyone who resisted.

Of course, Evrim Pasha needed to ask the Imperium for permission to do so, which they saw no problem with, but the Dacian Troops in Rumelia kept a close eye on any suspicious acts by the Rumeli Government, with the Dacian Secret Service also present.

The borders of Imperium Daciae with the Rumeli Republic were demilitarized on the Rumeli Side, the same happened on the border with the created Arbemanian Nation, which was named the Arbemanian Union State.

The Kingdom of Jerusalem was starting to have a Constitution that would be quite Organic, with the Government being just like in Dacia, having Fanatics who followed the ideals of the Dacian National-Legionary Party, in addition to making a small change in the flag, removing the white background and putting a purple background, apart from that, the Cross of Jerusalem remained the same and in the same position.

In the Dacian Imperial Palace.

Ferdinand was in Johan's office, he and Johan were talking about creating a New Nobility in the country, as Dacia lacked Noble Families, with the only nobility really being the Dacian Imperial Family, which would be good for many, but not for the Ferdinand's future plans.

"So Ferdinand, what do you think should be done regarding the creation of the Nobility?" Johan asked while sitting in his chair, he wanted to know Ferdinand's opinion.

Ferdinand never went wrong with his plans so far, while he had far from normal methods of dealing with national problems, he put them aside, because as Ferdinand once said to him "Question the Methods, but never the Results", something that was supported by Dmitrievna.

"Hmmm...Soldiers who have shown Great Valor should achieve knighthoods such as Sir or Lady, with competent Officers achieving Baronet titles, etc." Ferdinand replied after thinking a bit.

Ferdinand would start by giving the first titles of Nobility to the Exemplary Military within the Armed Forces, this would make future generations of Soldiers who would enter the Armed Forces more motivated, as the Nobility would receive certain privileges, in addition to some pieces of Land to build a farm or something like that.

"Hmmm, I see...now changing the subject, Ferdinand, how do you think we should use the Imperial Guard?" asked Johan after thinking for a while and then focusing on Ferdinand.

The Imperial Guard has increased greatly in recent months, currently managing to have 3 Divisions under Cezar's direct Command, with 1 Division being Armored, Ferdinand was preparing a Private Army.

"Father, I believe we should have 2 Imperial Guard Divisions in the capital at all times, with the rest being able to be used on the Battleground, this way we could ensure that our Imperial Guards remain the best they can be." Ferdinand replied.

Ferdinand wants to have only the Elite of the Elite under his command in the future, so sending the Imperial Guard to the battlefield is crucial, as it is only on iron, blood, and fire that true Soldiers are born.

Ferdinand wants to use the Imperial Guard in the future War against the Russy Federation, but they will not commit War Crimes like massacres or anything like that, as it would tarnish the Monarch's image, he would have to use other people to commit these crimes for him.

The Legionnaires were ideal for the job, Ferdinand was looking forward to having the Dacian National-Legionary Party's Paramilitary Wing used, making it the Men in Black under his command.

Of course, to ensure they weren't out of his control, these Legionnaires would first swear Oaths of Allegiance to the Monarch, in addition to having Imperial Guard Officers with them.

Johan nodded his head upon hearing what Ferdinand said, it would be really good for the Imperial Guard to have fully capable troops to deal with the enemies of the Imperium, especially in case of any Communist trouble.

"Very well, I will do as you say" Johan said before dismissing Ferdinand, he needed to think a little about some things.

'Sigh...I wish Ferdinand was a more normal child' Thought Johan as he looked at a map of the Continent he had in his office.

'Thanks to his ideas, we managed to become a full-fledged Empire...but he's still a child, as Dmitrievna once said' Johan thought before closing his eyes for a few seconds and sighing.

'I think I'll talk to my wife, making Ferdinand see the other countries would be good for him, instead of being stuck in Bucharest.' Johan made up his mind before getting up from his chair and leaving the office, intending to speak to his wife.
