Chapter 27 Planning 8

Although the various war plans mentioned by Yannick sound a bit unbelievable, they are going to attack the Soviet Union and land in the UK. I am afraid that the United States will be involved by then. Does that mean that the United States will also be attacked together?

But these are just plans after all. With the current situation in Germany, even if he wants to launch a war, it will be decades later. Maybe he would be gone by then, and there would be no need to worry about that.

But now he has to shoulder the responsibility as an elder. "You must be eighteen years old this year."

"Yes." Yannick's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling flashed through him. Could it be possible?

Sure enough, what William II said really came true to his premonition. "The little granddaughter of the Krall family is also sixteen this year. How about taking the time to meet in the next few days?" He mentioned this matter to Yannick two years ago. You can get married. The premise is that both parties are over 16 years old. Young people who are over 18 years old can get married without the consent of their parents because they have the rights and legal capacity.) But at that time, Yannick was eating, drinking and having fun every day. , not interested in talking about marriage at all. Now Yannick has matured a lot and it's time to start a family.

"Let's forget it." Yannick simply refused without thinking.

"Why? I think that little girl looks pretty."

Yannick pouted. "This family is a pawn in my plan. In ten years, this family will disappear. All members of the family, men, women and children, will be sent to concentration camps to work as coolies. Their property and funds will be nationalized. How could I marry her? ”

William II was suddenly shocked. "What? What plan?!"

Yannick touched his chin and replied. "The plan has not been completed yet, but when the time comes I will once and for all clear out these military, political and business bugs who are only getting in the way, disobeying the imperial power, and holding back Germany. Germany can only have one voice, that of His Majesty the Emperor. If anyone dares They are the enemies of Germany. Of course they will not be merciful to their enemies. Since they cannot change their minds, they can only destroy their bodies. "

"..." William II was stunned for a long time before he asked. "Even if they are Junker nobles?"

Yannick nodded without hesitation. "Of course, the Junkers are the first targets."

William II slowly shook his head. "That will cause turmoil in the country. Don't you know how powerful the Junker nobles are?"

Junker (Transliteration of German Junker. Originally refers to a noble child without a knight title, and later generally refers to Prussian nobles and big landowners. It originated in the 16th century.

Those who led the German unification movement and the establishment of the Second German Empire in 1871 were the aristocrats of the Kingdom of Prussia, the Junkers, and Bismarck was their representative.

Therefore, after the reunification of Germany until the defeat and disintegration of the Second German Empire in 1918, Juncker always controlled the political power, especially the military power.

However, after the second industrial revolution, German capitalism developed rapidly and entered the stage of monopoly capitalism or imperialism at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. As the power of the bourgeoisie grew stronger, they also shared part of the political power. It is still the Junkers who hold real power and actually control the state power. However, these Junckers increasingly share common interests with the bourgeoisie because they adopt capitalist methods to manage agriculture and invest in industry, and they expand their armaments and prepare for foreign wars of aggression on their behalf.

As a result, Germany at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century had characteristics that other imperialisms did not have: on the one hand, the Junkers aristocratic landowners controlled the state power, on the other hand, the bourgeoisie also shared the power and had entered monopoly capitalism, that is, imperialist stage. Therefore, Lenin summarized it as "Junker bourgeois imperialism".

How could Yannick not know? He smiled disapprovingly. "Of course I know, Grandpa. But fortunately they are a group, not one person."

Seeing that William II didn't seem to understand what he meant, Yannick continued to explain. "I really like Marx's saying, 'If there is 10% profit, capital will be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, capital will be active; if there is 50% profit, capital will take risks; for 100% If there is a profit, capital will dare to trample all laws in the world; if there is a profit of more than 300%, capital will dare to commit any crime." He took a piece of white paper from the desk, drew a triangle, and filled in two more words. Horizontal lines form a pyramid shape.

"If I wipe out the richest and most powerful people in the upper layer and distribute the wealth and interests to the two lower layers, will they still object? For them, this is more than 50% of the interests. Yes, some people will even get more than 100% of the benefits. What reason do they have to refuse?

As for the Junker officers who are related to the top of these pyramids, we must secretly develop non-Junker officers. If one day those guys resign collectively..." Just after saying this, William II suddenly snorted coldly.

"What's wrong? Grandpa?" What does he mean?

William II looked a little annoyed. "Nothing, I just remembered that these officers threatened me with resignation more than ten years ago."

"..." Is there such a thing? Yes, it seems that the world military said that the division of troops on the Eastern Front was the last resort under the pressure of the Junker nobles. "The same thing will definitely not happen this time. I am confident, Grandpa. I can guarantee that after the plan is implemented, the entire Germany will be more united and share the same hatred."

William II nodded doubtfully. "Okay, forget about this girl. But you are already 18, it's time to get married."

Tsk, there are so many people around in the original time and space who are not in a hurry to get married at the age of 30, why are you in such a hurry? "Germany is no longer a country, how dare I, as the crown prince of Germany, talk about love affairs. Grandpa, don't worry about this matter. I will naturally get married when Germany is really strong. I think I can fulfill my wish in fifteen years at most. It's not too late to get married then."

After hearing his words, William II was so moved that he almost burst into tears. How great it would be if his disappointing son had half the ambition of this grandson. Then he could abdicate early and live out his days in peace.

While William II was feeling infinite emotion, Yannick was thinking of Audrey Hepburn, who was praised as "the angel on earth".

It's a pity that the beautiful angel will come to the world next year. But then I thought, it's not that I can't wait. When she's 15, he'll only be 34, in the prime of his youth. But then again, if I waited for her for more than ten years and she didn't like me in the end, wouldn't it be a waste of time? But if everything went according to his script, he would have been the emperor who unified Europe by then. There's no reason not to like him, right?

Forget it, at worst, I can just date William II and get along with him first, and then we can talk about it later.
