"The German Empire wants to become a world empire. Our compatriots should be inhabited everywhere in the far part of the earth. German goods, German knowledge, and German diligence must travel across the ocean...."
Emperor of the Second German Empire, King of Prussia and Friedrich, the leader of the Hohenzollern family.
William.
Victor.
Albert.
Feng.
Hohenzollern, 1905.
The war continued, and under the call of Baron Alexander's great reputation, countless Germans began to flock to Berlin. Perhaps their lives would be safer in the enemy's occupied areas, but that was just the life of a slave who was destroyed. Such a life was no different from a walking corpse.
Go to Berlin - go to fight - for Germany's freedom!
Batches of Germans arrived in Berlin in various ways, and under the strafing of enemy planes and under the bombardment of enemy artillery fire, they came to this city in battle.
Among these refugees, there is no doubt that a large number of enemy spies will be involved. Because of this, the German army has also strengthened the search in this regard.
Another group of new refugees arrived. The German captain in charge here quickly welcomed the group into Berlin and began to conduct careful inspections.
Among this group of Germans, a couple in their 50s were particularly eye-catching. They were dressed neatly and walked calmly, following the crowds without any anxiety.
It was finally their turn, but they found a woman behind him with a little girl. Perhaps due to the weather, the little girl was trembling all over.
The husband quickly gave up his position: "Captain, please let this lady and the child go there first."
The woman kept thanking her, and the captain couldn't help but say, "Sir, you are such an upright gentleman."
After a brief check on the woman and her child, it was finally the turn of the couple. The couple still acted very calmly.
"Sir, where are you from, your name?" the captain asked politely.
"Hello Captain. I am Louis Ferdinand Victor Edward Albert Michael Hubertus. This is my wife, Cosfil, and we are from the Doron Manor in the Netherlands."
A long list of names made the captain a little dizzy, but it came from the enemy-occupied area, but it made the captain alert. Maybe the other party was a spy? I heard that a spy case was solved in Berlin. Oh, it might be that it was a spy. The spy often pretended to be polite to win others' favor.
The captain determined his thoughts, and the respect on his face disappeared: "Mr. Michelle, I must conduct a careful examination of you and your lady."
"Captain, you can't check on us."
Michael's answer was surprising. The captain was a little angry and was more sure that the other party must have had an ulterior motive: "I must check you, but before that I was curious. Why can't I check you?"
"Because you don't have the power and qualifications." Michael replied calmly, but he could not hear any arrogance in his words.
The captain was very angry, and he had never seen anyone like this before: "Sir, if you continue to refuse to check, then I have to use force."
"Captain, please stay calm." Michael said lightly: "I know this is your duty, and I have no intention of blaming you. But my identity is quite special. I hope you will tell your boss, Michael, the sole heir of the Hohenzollern family, to see Marshal Ernst Breme immediately."
The Hohenzollern family? What kind of family is that? The captain has never heard of it. It can be seen that Michelle looks like, probably this family has some background, right?
The captain did not dare to be careless. He vaguely felt that this matter was beyond his ability to manage. He quickly called his boss.
At this time, Michael and his wife looked at the city affectionately.

"The heir to the Hohenzollern family? Didn't make a mistake?"
"Yes, at least that's what he said."
"That's the descendant of His Majesty the Emperor." Wang Weiyi sorted out his military uniform: "Tell Your Highness, I will go to his place soon."
The descendant of His Majesty the Emperor - the descendant of William II, the last German emperor!
In Germany, although William II was the last emperor and under his leadership, Germany lost the victory of World War I, the vast majority of Germans believed that the responsibility for failure should not be borne by William II, and they still respected William II's family who was exiled in the Netherlands.
And they fully demonstrated their loyalty to Germany William II and his family.
On January 22, 1933, the Crown Prince wrote a letter to Hindenburg, urging him to authorize Hitler to form a cabinet. William II provided 2 million marks of assistance to the Nazi Party. For Hitler's brilliant victory in the early days of World War II, William II also sent a telegram to Hitler to congratulate and praise him.
In May 1940, when Hitler occupied the Netherlands, William rejected Winston.
Churchill invited him to England for good advice to seek political asylum. He would rather die in the Netherlands. On June 5, 1941, William died of a pulmonary embolism in Doron, the Netherlands and was buried in Doron Manor. Hitler held a small military funeral for him. A total of hundreds of people attended William's funeral. His tombstone was engraved with a line of words: "No need to praise me, because I don't need to praise me. Don't give me honor, because I don't want honor. Don't punish me, because I'm about to suffer."

Until his death, William II did not forget his country. As for his sons, Crown Prince Augusta, and Ernst.
Marshal Breme and Richthofen also had some extraordinary relationships.
Michael is Augusta's second son, and the position of the crown prince should be William.
Friedrich.
Franz.
Joseph Christian.
Olaf came to inherit, but unfortunately, in 1931, Joseph gave up the right of inheritance because he married a civilian, so Prince William's second son, Michael, became the heir to the Hohenzollern family.
At such a critical moment in Germany, the emergence of the leader of the Hohenzollern family was of great help to boost the morale of the German military and civilians.
"The baron of the emperor's canonization - Marshal Ernst Alexand von Breme is here!"
In the name that is deliberately made like this, Ernst.
Marshal Breme appeared before Michael, and he bowed respectfully to Michael: "Welcome to home, Your Highness!"
Welcome home - Your Highness.
When this sentence was spoken from the Baron, Michael burst into tears in an instant. For many years, his grandfather and father didn't want to return to Germany at all times, but they were unable to realize their dreams until they died. At this moment, he came back on behalf of them.
"Thank you for greeting me in person, Lord Baron." Michael said, controlling his excitement: "You don't need to call me Your Highness anymore. Now we are no longer the rulers of Germany."
Wang Weiyi replied: "Yes, Germany has no emperor now, but I will never forget that it was the elevation of me from a civilian to a jazz, who gave me great power. No matter what Germany becomes, I always respect His Majesty the Emperor."
Michael was very pleased that the Baron was still the Baron of the past, although this was the first time he had met the legendary Baron Alexander.
After the outbreak of World War II, after the Baron's first return, he had telegrams with his father many times and greeted each other. He had heard of the Baron's brilliant legend from his father countless times. Especially that time, he and Marshal Richthofen risked their lives to rescue his father.
"Your Highness, this place is very dangerous. Please follow me to a safe place."
"Is that so? Is there any safe place in Germany now?"
"Of course, if you think it is safe, it must be safe." Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "Even if the enemy attacks Berlin, Berlin is still safe."
Michael smiled: "You are exactly the same as the baron you said in your father, and you never knew what fear was."
After taking His Highness and his wife into the car, Wang Weiyi whispered to the adjutant beside him: "Notify Fels to investigate the authenticity of His Highness and his wife's identity. Also, invite Leonie."
At such an extraordinary moment, he must be careful and he will never allow himself to make any mistakes.
When he came to his office, Wang Weiyi asked the Michelle and his wife to sit down. At this time, their identities were a little awkward. Although the Michelle and his wife were the leader of the Hohenzollern family and descendants of the former German emperor, Wang Weiyi was their subordinate in theory, at this moment, the status of both sides had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Wang Weiyi is the real leader of Germany.
But this does not seem to be a barrier that affects each other's conversation. Wang Weiyi asked, "Your Highness, I'm very curious, why did you appear in Berlin at such a dangerous moment?"
"This is my motherland, although we have been overthrown." Michael did not shy away from the history of the overthrowing of his family: "And now my motherland has suffered unprecedented disasters. I must come back, and those grievances that have been passed cannot stop us."
"To be precise, His Majesty the Emperor was not overthrown, but voluntarily abdicated." Wang Weiyi said: "When His Majesty the Emperor left us, you will probably know that he still has a high reputation in Germany and is still missed by many people. I am very happy to see you return to Berlin, although now is not the best time."
"We Germans will not just talk about it." Michelle said, taking out a check: "Hisser Baron, this is $2 million, which represents my own support for Germany and the Hohenzollern family. I know that this money will not make any decisive changes to the war, but I still hope you can accept it."
"Of course, Your Highness, I also thank you on behalf of Germany." Wang Weiyi expressed his gratitude.
Indeed, the money did not help Germany turn the situation around, which at least showed an attitude of the Hohenzollern family: they had never had any resentment towards Germany, and one still loved the country deeply.
"Baoness Alexanderson is here."
Accompanied by this sound, Baroness Alexander Leonie walked in.
Michael and Cosfille immediately stood up and welcomed the Baroness into the scene. They knew that when Leonie was still the Countess, they were the guests of the royal family, and were respected by William II and even had a say in the decisions on some major domestic issues.
"I'm so happy to see you. You are so beautiful and young." Michael exclaimed sincerely. "I'm also very happy to see you. I can see at a glance that the blood of His Majesty the Emperor flows." Reoni's identity is much higher than that of Michael and his wife. Even if it's the emperor's era, Baron Alexander's identity cannot be compared with her, so she just expressed her welcome to Michael and his wife indifferently.
When the few people sat down again, Leonie suddenly said, "Is the neighbor's mill okay?"
"Ah, of course, madam." Michael was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "When the law conflicts with personal interests, the law must be strictly abide by, even if this person is the emperor."
This is a famous story in Europe and an example of German law being superior to the emperor.
German Emperor William I once built a Li Palace in Potsdam, and there was an ancient mill not far from the wall of the Li Palace. Once, William I visited Potsdam and moved into Li Palace. He climbed up to a high place to see the panoramic view of Potsdam. However, many scenery was blocked by the mill. William I was disappointed and ordered his escort to find the owner of the mill, and then demolished it after buying the mill. Unexpectedly, the owner of the mill despised the emperor very much and said to the person who came to negotiate: "My mill has been passed down from generation to generation, and it cannot be calculated."
After hearing this, William I was furious and immediately asked someone to demolish the mill. The owner of the mill was not afraid of this. While standing by and letting it demolish it, he said to himself: "If the emperor can do something wrong like this, what's the use of the laws of our country?"
