"Dear, can you not leave me and the child this time?"

Nicholas's wife, lying in his arms, her eyes full of reluctance.

Nicholas shook his head: "No, I am a major now. I have finally been promoted to this military rank. You should understand how difficult it is for civilians like us.

Oh yes, the Roman Empire now does not seem to have a promotion ceiling for civilian officers, but this is just an official statement. After all, I am still affiliated with the Prussian Army."

"Dear, the king of the Kingdom of Prussia has surrendered and abdicated, and the war has ended, why do you still want to leave here?

Can't you apply for defense transfer to nearby cities?

You are already a major, we don’t need any future, it’s great to have a safe residence, after all, our children cannot lose their father.”

Nicholas smiled bitterly: "Yes, the war in Prussia is over.

We should thank Frederick William III for his abdication, but he was a kind king. Because of his order of surrender, millions of Prussians were spared from the suffering of war.

But don't forget that the Prussian Kingdom now has a new king, and it is also a monarch who has endless desire for expansion and war - Levi Charles.

Tomorrow I will go to Berlin to attend the oath ceremony and swear allegiance to the new Prussian king.

With the style of Emperor Li Wei, I am afraid that a regular army officer like me will not take long to enter the Eastern battlefield and fight against the Russians."

"No!

Dear, we shouldn't fight for a foreign monarch, do we?"

“You’re thinking too simple.

What's more, it's impossible for me to take off this major military uniform. This military uniform represents the future life guarantee for you, me and our children.

Even if I die in battle, I will die in battle as a major. The pension is enough to allow you and our children to survive the most difficult period."

"Dear, I don't understand.

Emperor Livi had the invincible Roman Guards to fight for him. Why did your surrendered troops still go to the battlefield?"

"Emperor Levi's Roman Guards were direct troops, and the number was limited. The number of Russian troops was too large. Moreover, the goal of Emperor Levi was not to defeat the Russians, but to eliminate the Russian Empire, which required a large number of troops to occupy the vast land of the Russian Empire.

Not to mention the regular Prussian army like me who surrendered, even the reserve militia of Prussia, Emperor Livi did not let it go.

Since Frederick William III abdicated and Levi became the king of Prussia, none of the Prussian troops received a notice of retirement, but were preparing for the expedition.

Including the battalion under my jurisdiction.

If it weren't for my major, I wouldn't even have a vacation to go home to visit you and your children.

But don't worry, Emperor Li Wei will not trust us in the army that surrendered to the past. Perhaps in the eyes of Emperor Li Wei, we are just a group of garbage troops such as defeated generals.

My troops and I should only be responsible for maintaining public order in the occupied areas, without having to go to the front-line battlefield, which is much safer than before.

Alas, now I think about it, my statement of loyalty was like feeding a dog, which is really ironic.

What are freedom and equality, what are national independence, as long as you cannot win the war, it will be a passing cloud.

You have never seen my bosses. After the surrender of the Kingdom of Prussia, they rushed to please the officers of the Roman Guards. I saw a Prussian major general following a captain of the Roman Guards to report their work.

But this is the privilege that the winner should have, isn’t it?”

"Dear, I don't understand these..."

“Sorry, I’ve said too much.

But there is one thing I want to tell you.

From now on, we must not say anything like the tyrant Li Wei. The public opinion control in the Roman Empire is very strict, and no one can protect us if we are reported!

Especially in public, say more words to praise Levi, and teach our children personally and make them accustomed to praising Levi on weekdays. This will only benefit!”

"Can what we said come to Li Wei's ears?"

Nicholas's wife asked in confusion.

After all, she was not asked to praise the Prussian king before this!

"There is a high probability that it will not be heard by Emperor Li Wei. However, the words praising Emperor Li Wei can often clear away the suspicion between us and the revolutionary party.

This is important for our future lives, especially as your husband is in the military, you and your children will only be subject to more severe scrutiny and surveillance!

People from the Roman Empire's Secretariat Division do not wear uniforms to patrol the streets. What they like most is to wear civilian clothes, patrol in public places with a lot of talk, and then arrest those civilians and even nobles who speak disrespectful words!

This is the job that the Spy Department is most passionate about, and it is related to their work performance.

I've just heard of these news recently.

I have to admit that the control of speech in the Roman Empire was many times stricter than I thought, but in the Roman Empire, as long as I control my mouth, life was not very difficult.

At least, nobility was not allowed to discriminate against civilians in the Roman Empire, and nobility was just an honorary title, and even their fiefs had been deprived.

The private property of civilians can also be protected by sacred laws. Emperor Liwei is worthy of being a monarch who came out of France where the great revolution broke out, and his status as civilians is relatively favorable.

Oh, by the way, you let you and your children memorize the title on this piece of paper, and it is very important that you are a major’s wife.”

Nicholas took out a piece of paper full of German words and handed it to his wife.

Thanks to the decades of compulsory education in the Kingdom of Prussia, even women can be literate.

Nicholas's wife held the white paper, looked at the words on it, and recited it in a scattered manner:

"The Emperor of the Roman Empire

King of the Kingdom of France

Lords of Piedmont and Savoy

King of the Kingdom of Italy

Arbitrators of the Swiss Federation

Protectors of Low Countries

Rulers of all provinces, territories, municipalities in the Rhine League

King of the Kingdom of Austria

King of the Kingdom of Hungary

King of Romania

King of the Kingdom of Serbia

King of the Kingdom of Bulgaria

Conqueror of the Balkans

Protector of the Governor of Greece

The King of Denmark

The King of Prussia...

My God, with such a long title, is it from Emperor Li Wei?"

Nicholas nodded and said, "Not bad.

This is the title of Emperor Li Wei. I guess the title of Emperor Li Wei will be longer after the end of this anti-French war.

Of course, ordinary people don’t need to remember this series of titles, but as a major’s wife, you must memorize this title and ensure that you can recite it skillfully during the random inspection of the Spy Department.

This represents our loyal belief in Emperor Li Wei!”

Nicholas's wife was a little uncomfortable and murmured: "Are we really going to do these formalistic work?

Could it be that being able to recite the title of Emperor Li Wei means our loyalty?”

Nicholas shrugged: “I don’t understand whether this represents loyalty either.

However, formalism is very common in the Roman Empire. Almost all holidays in the Roman Empire praise Levi's obedience and thank him for his gifts.

Although those who praise the title of Emperor Li Wei have never seen what Emperor Li Wei looks like in their lifetime.

We don’t need to consider formalism, you just need to know that doing so will allow us and our children to live safer in the Roman Empire!”

Nicholas's wife nodded obediently and carefully placed the paper full of the title of Emperor Levi.

With such a long title, I guess she and her children need to take it out and review it frequently...

There is no way, who said that her husband is already a major officer?

Although he was only an army officer in the Kingdom of Prussia, his status was not comparable to that of the Roman Guards, it was because of this that he was subject to more strict review by the Secretariat Division.

Nicholas did not tell his wife that the officers and soldiers of the Roman Guards would never be troubled by the Secret Spy Division, and even the spies of the Secret Spy Division met the officers and soldiers of the Roman Guards, and their attitude was as obedient as subordinates.

The status of the Roman Guards was incredibly high in the Roman Empire!

Not only the generals of the Roman Guards, but also the soldiers at the bottom!

This is something that Nicholas cannot understand, and he dare not understand it either.

However, Nicholas felt that the reason why the officers and soldiers of the Roman Guards charged without hesitation on the battlefield was probably because of the lofty social status given to them by Emperor Li Wei.

As for the rumors that the Roman Guards did not have military pay or various welfare benefits, it was just rumor after all.

As a member of the Prussian Army, Nicholas dared not even have the desire to inquire about this kind of news.
