The Rise of the Third Reich

The cousin of German Emperor Wilhelm III, the cousin of German Prince Friedrich, and the future British old lady Queen Elizabeth II, is still a slim and beautiful girl. She was wearing a white court dress, standing in a living room at the Dollen Manor in the Netherlands (now owned by Prince Friedrich), with a charming smile on her face, and spoke somewhat stiff German to the Germans who were visiting the Netherlands. The new Minister of Defense, Field Marshal Hersmann, and Hersmann's wife, Chloe, introduce themselves.

"Your Excellency, Marshal of the Empire, Marquise, I am Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Wetting, first heir to the British throne."

"Waiting? Isn't it Windsor?" Hersman looked at Elizabeth II, who was still a lolita in front of her, and asked in English.

Elizabeth pursed her lips slightly, then looked lovingly at her eldest nephew Prince Friedrich, who was standing next to her, and said: "Friedrich thinks that I should restore the surname of the German Wetting family after inheriting the throne. ”

The little girl is quite good! Hessmann thought of this and looked at Prince Friedrich, who could hardly hold back the smile on his face.

As the fourth son of William III, he had no chance of being crowned king. Unexpectedly, a little cousin Elizabeth fell from the sky who could inherit the British throne, and she fell in love with him at first sight as his "uncle, cousin, and nephew".

This time, he really had luck in wealth, love and the throne. But all these "lucks" were ultimately brought to him by Hessman, and he also knew the purpose of Hessman coming to Doron Manor to meet Elizabeth.

As the leader of the Juncker Group, Hessmann came to Duolun Manor to inspect Elizabeth! If Hershman objects, then Elizabeth cannot become the future Queen of England. Although Prince Friedrich can still hold beauties in his arms, he is just a little beauty, not a little beauty queen.

Therefore, in front of Hersmann, Prince Friedrich did not dare to act like a royal husband. He politely asked the Hersmanns to sit down, and then said in a grateful tone: "Marshal of the Empire, you have done a great job for our Hohenzollern." The royal family has done so much, more than Prince Bismarck and Count Moltke combined. Without you, I would still be a penniless and destitute prince, so Elizabeth and I will never forget your contribution to the Hohenzollern dynasty. "

The "Hohenzollern Dynasty" he refers to here does not refer to the German Hohenzollern Dynasty that his second brother will inherit, but to the dynasty that he and Elizabeth II will create in the future - Elizabeth II and Frederick Prince Charles's children will be named Hohenzollern, and they belong to the British Hohenzollern dynasty.

Friedrich and Elisabeth did not forget Hessmann's contribution, and they would naturally be rewarded in the future. But Hessman doesn't care about Elizabeth II's return at all, because many people have said similar things to him. One of them is the Empress of Russia, one is the Shah of Iran, two are leaders of the Arab Baath Party, there are also the President and Prime Minister of the State of Israel, and, by the way, there is also the great Italian leader Mussolini.

However, Hessmann still smiled politely, and then asked Elizabeth in English, "Your Royal Highness, I hope you can tell the truth. In the future, there will be two Britains, one Britain and one plus, or one Britain each." Expression?"

Elizabeth frowned, feeling very confused by Hessmann's question. She looked at her cousin Prince Friedrich, who smiled and explained: "Elizabeth, the Imperial Marshal would like to know how you and His Majesty King George VI will meet." Will not be separated."

"It may be necessary to separate for a while." Princess Elizabeth said slowly.

"Then will he hand over the British throne to you?" Hersman asked again.

Princess Elizabeth shook her head and said, "I will be Regent of England."

That's "one English for each expression"! Hessman thought to himself that he originally thought that Britain would lose half of the surrender document, but he didn't expect that Fatty Qiu and George VI actually wanted Britain to hedge its bets. The fat man kept the king and went to Canada to continue to be a lackey accomplice of US imperialism. He asked Elizabeth to stay in the country and become the queen. He also asked Elizabeth to marry the son of William III.

In this way, no matter how the battlefield turns out in the future, the British Empire will not lose everything, and the British political elite will have a place to take power.

The calculations of these guys are much smarter than those of the German Nazis!

"Well," Hessman smiled and said to Elizabeth, "Your Highness, I sincerely hope that you can become the Queen of England in the near future."

Upon hearing this, Prince Friedrich looked at his beloved aunt with a smile - the Imperial Marshal nodded, and Aunt Elizabeth would soon be the queen.

"But... we also have conditions!" Hessman's tone suddenly became serious. He said, "King George VI and the British government can take away things that can be taken away from the British mainland. But they cannot be taken away. Things must not be deliberately destroyed and must be left intact to the British people, otherwise there will be no United Kingdom of Great Britain in the future!”

At the moment, the UK is still one of the most industrial countries in the world, with good domestic infrastructure and numerous factories and mines. If it can "take them all", it will naturally greatly enhance the industrial strength of the European Union. Although it still cannot catch up with the United States, the gap will not be particularly large.

Princess Elizabeth smiled and replied: "Marshal of the Empire, before I left London, my father said to me: What is going on between Britain and Germany is a gentleman's war, and both sides adhere to certain ancient and noble principles. So we will not fight like the Russians fought against Emperor Napoleon."

"We in Germany also hope to fight a gentleman's war, which is most beneficial to the whole of Europe." Hersman nodded with satisfaction. "We Germans also do not want to reduce Europe to ruins. After all, Europe is our common home."

…

"Ludwig, do you really want to keep fighting?"

After having lunch with the future Queen of England and her husband, Hersman and his wife Chloe left Doron Manor in a brand new Maybach bulletproof car. On the way to Rotterdam, Chloe suddenly asked about the course of the war.

"Yes, Elizabeth said she would become the regent after George VI leaves." Hessman sat with his legs crossed in the spacious and comfortable back seat, looking at the beautiful spring scenery outside, and said with a smile on his face. "It won't be long before Britain has a king and a queen."

"A king and a queen?" Chloe frowned, "It sounds like there's going to be a succession war?"

"Of course the war of succession will not start," Hessman smiled, "but the disintegration of the British Empire has begun. In the future, Princess Elizabeth will become the Queen of England, Scotland and Wales, and Princess Margaret will become the Queen of Canada. Queen."

"What about Australia and New Zealand?" Chloe asked with a smile.

Hersman shrugged, "I don't know...maybe it will become the territory of the Emperor of Japan?"

"Japan's Australia?" Chloe's eyes widened, "Would Hitler agree to such an arrangement?"

"We have nothing to do with this matter," Hessman waved his hand and said, "The Pacific Ocean is too far away and cannot be reached. Let the Japanese and Americans decide this. The Japanese must be given some motivation to fight, otherwise the United States People will use more power on the Atlantic Ocean.”

"Americans?" Chloe frowned again, "Are we still going to fight the Americans?"

"Of course, this is inevitable." Hersman smiled, "Why else would I come to the Netherlands? Isn't it just to fight the war with the United States?"

Shortly after the Battle of the Faroe Islands on March 25, Hersmann handed over the post of Chief of General Staff to Marshal Kesselring, and he took over the Ministry of Defense from Schleicher. Therefore, his main job changed from military command to military and political management, and he also became a minister in Hitler's war cabinet, so he naturally had to shoulder more diplomatic missions.

There are four diplomatic missions to be completed during this visit to the Netherlands. The first is to meet Princess Elizabeth; the second is to finalize the "South Africa for East Indies" agreement with the Dutch government; the third is to negotiate the purchase of three Dutch battlecruisers under construction; The fourth was for Dutch Guiana.

The three Dutch battlecruisers were historically called Project 1047. The first ship was named the "Esse Lake" class, which was designed and built by Germany with the help of the Netherlands. However, due to Germany's war against the Netherlands, the project was not completed.

However, in this time and space, the relationship between the Netherlands and Germany was as good as one family, and there was no invasion of the Netherlands. Moreover, both Hessmann and Schleicher did not regard the German "Scharnhorst" class as a treasure. When the Netherlands made a request for assistance, they directly handed over the drawings of the "Scharnhorst" class. It was given to the Dutch, so the three battlecruisers under construction in the Netherlands were improved on the basis of the "Scharnhorst" class.

The reason why the Dutch spent more than 200 million Dutch guilders to build three improved "Scharnhorst" class battlecruisers was not to defend the homeland but to deploy them to the Dutch East Indies to deter them. Japanese.

But now, the Dutch government has agreed in principle to "South Africa for East Indies". The Dutch East Indies will soon be handed over to Japan in exchange for Japan assisting Germany in seizing South Africa. Germany will then hand over South Africa to the Netherlands - "South Africa for East Indies". "East India" is of course also to further win over and support Japan so that Japan can better fight against the United States.

Without the need to defend the Dutch East Indies, the Royal Netherlands Navy did not need three expensive battleships, so it wanted to sell these three O-class ships under construction to Germany. Considering the inevitability of war with the powerful United States, Hersmann and Schleicher both agreed to purchase these three powerful battleships.

And the issue of Dutch Guiana is a key step in the fight against the United States!
