Episode 495: The End and the Beginning (1)

[Dear citizens of the German Empire,]

August 12, 1937, the day after the collapse of the new government and the death of MacArthur ended the American Civil War.

[Yesterday, I received from President Roosevelt the news of the destruction of the rebel army calling itself the new American government and the death of its leader, Douglas MacArthur.]

“Dad, it started!”

“I’m going now, so wait, Anne!”

Hans’ speech announcing the end of the war began amidst the expectant gazes of the people focused on the radio.

[On January 20, 1936, the Axis powers that had started the second great war and plunged the entire world into war completely collapsed after 570 days. The world war that had caused suffering to billions of people across Europe, Asia, and America finally ended with the complete victory of the Allied Powers!]

“Waaa …

“The war is over! The war is over!”

“Long live the German Empire! Long live Kaiser Wilhelm! Long live Chancellor Hans von Zoy!”

“Peace, how sweet it is to have you back!”

A huge cheer echoed throughout Berlin.

Germans celebrated their second victory in World War II and their farewell to the agonizing war with passionate hugs and kisses from lovers and family members.

[We have won. The German Empire has won over the dregs of humanity, full of hatred and malice!]

“Stay here, Kaiser Wilhelm. Stay here forever, the glory of your people. The pride of mankind!”

“Feel the glory of the throne. It is great joy, the love of the people!”

“Long live our Emperor Wilhelm!”

The same was true of other cities and towns, including Munich, Dresden, Königsberg and Frankfurt.

Across Germany, red and black flags flew more than ever, and beer and wine flowed like water.

[But this is not our victory alone.]

“It’s time to go home, Franz.”

“Yes, Captain. It has been an honor to work with you.”

“It was an honor to be with you all.”

German troops outside Germany, including those in the United States, also began shaking hands and hugging each other as they prepared to return home to their families.

[This victory was possible because of our brothers, Britain and Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, Poland and Ukraine, Scandinavia and the Balkans. This victory was possible because of our friends in faraway Asia and America, and for that reason, it is an even more special and meaningful victory!]

“Long live victory! Long live the Allies!”

“Hurrah! Hurrah!”

Meanwhile, in other Allied countries, people took to the streets, waving their respective national flags and celebrating the end of the war enthusiastically.

Finland, Poland, and Ukraine, which greatly expanded their territories and were the biggest beneficiaries of this war, also had loud cries in Asian countries such as Korea, which had achieved independence.

“I won─!!”

“Long live the British Empire! Long live His Majesty the King!”

“You fucking war, get out of here!”

Especially Britain.

The cheers of the British, who had fought through the war as Germany’s main partner even though more than half of the country had been reduced to ruins due to the rebellion of the deposed Crown Prince Edward, were especially loud.

“It’s finally over, Bertie.”

“Yeah, it’s finally over.”

George VI and Tatiana too.

“Viva!”

“Rule Britannia! Let Britannia rule the waves!”

“A Briton will never be a slave!”

British politicians such as Churchill, Chamberlain, and Attlee.

“Tralalala traralalala~ho!”

And Tolkien, who was finishing up his monumental first work, The Hobbit, while still a professor at Oxford University, danced with his wife Edith’s hand at the return of peace and, above all, the news that his eldest son, John Francis Tolkien, who had been fighting in the war, was safe.

Of course, the hobbits of this world were quite different from those in the original history in many ways, such as the red eagle king who was three times faster, and the giant airships and land-based battleships, which were influenced by Tolkien’s experiences during World War I.

“The war is over, now let’s achieve real independence!”

“The British government must keep its promises!”

However, the cheers from the British government were not to last long.

As soon as the declaration of war ended, instead of cooperating with the war effort, voices for independence began to rise throughout the colonies, starting with the Indian National Congress, which had become indebted to the British government.

“… …Can’t I just ignore it?”

“Will that work?”

Of course, Mr. Gallipoli and conservative British politicians were not happy about this, and were even thinking of doing something anti-Hungarian like in World War I.

However, unlike World War I, when the British Empire was barely maintained, the current Britain, which had suffered through Edward’s Rebellion, had no power to maintain its colonies or prevent independence.

“I heard that France is also planning to give independence to Algeria, and that Germany and Austria-Hungary are also planning to give up all their colonies that were virtually semi-independent.”

“Your Majesty, that is… … .”

“So I think it is time for us, Britain, to lay aside our past glories for a better future. Putting aside Louis’s promise to Nehru.”

Moreover, George VI, whose authority had been consolidated after overcoming the rebellion and leading Britain to victory, was also in favor of colonial independence.

Churchill was still stubborn, as if to prove his Gallipoli class, but even a child could tell that it wouldn’t last long.

[The war has taken a great toll on humanity. There have been countless ruins and countless casualties. So now is the time to put down our guns and move forward once again for prosperity and peace.]

“Prosperity and peace.”

“Can our France get them back?”

De Gaulle smiled broadly at Mitterrand’s question about his entry into politics on his recommendation.

The war had taken so much from France.

Honor, pride, spirit, economy, human rights, life, etc… … .

There is even a saying that the ones who inflicted the greatest damage on La Roque were not the Allies, but France and the French.

“But we will rise again.”

De Gaulle said.

“Amid the ruins of the Hundred Years’ War, of the Revolution and of Napoleon, we France have always risen again. No matter how hard things have been, no matter how dirty we have been, no matter how desperately we have lost everything, we have always risen again with an indomitable spirit.”

It was no different even during the World War. It couldn’t have been different.

“Our France will be great again, not with bloodshed and vengeance like La Roque, but with history and culture, with passion and pride, with unity and tolerance.”

“dismissal…….”

“Of course, it’s not an easy task. It can’t be accomplished by just one person. So please lend me your strength.”

“Of course!”

De Gaulle nodded in satisfaction at the enthusiastic answers of his aides, including Mitterrand, and looked at Paris, which was being rebuilt in real time.

I looked at the statue of Gamelin being erected in the Place de la Concorde to replace the obelisk that was destroyed by bombing during the Battle of Paris and the burning of La Roque.

[We will leave the memories of war behind and transform this world into a better world. And I believe that this is not only my wish, but also the wish of all of you.]

And, as the German Chancellor, a spiteful but lovable nemesis, said, he hoped that France would move forward using the ruins left by La Roque as a stepping stone.

For a better future than now.

August 17th, a few days after Hans’s speech at the end of the war.

“Waaa …

“Long live His Majesty the Good Emperor Charles!”

“Long live Austria!”

In Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, cheers filled the air from the Austro-Hungarian people as Charles I appeared before the people for the first time in a long time.

Those who remembered the Sarajevo incident and the absurd death of Franz Josef, which led to the outbreak of World War I, wanted to dissuade the Emperor, but could not bring themselves to do so.

Today was a day of great significance for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and for the peoples of that empire with whom it had long been at odds, in some ways as significant as the end of a world war.

“My proud friends, Germans and Hungarians, Czechs and Slovaks, Croats and Slovenes, Bosnians and Serbs, Transylvanians and Italians, who swear allegiance to the Habsburg crown and banner!”

Charles I shouted as everyone’s eyes were focused on the Habsburg Emperor, who was the very embodiment of European history.

“In the past, we constantly fought and had conflicts. And these conflicts eventually led to the tragedy of the First World War.”

And Austria-Hungary looked so miserable that it could do nothing without the help of its ally, the German Empire.

“But when the Second World War broke out, we stood together as one against the evil that sought to dominate the world. We rose above the conflicts between our nations and fought with one heart and one mind, and as a proud member of the Allied Powers, we achieved victory!”

“Wow!!”

“Of course, this does not mean that the Empire’s chronic diseases have been completely overcome. However, thanks to the efforts of my uncle, Emperor Franz Ferdinand, and to your efforts, we have finally been able to take the first steps toward reconciliation and unity.”

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the square fell into silence.

Everyone was filled with anticipation, waiting for the Emperor to open his mouth.

“I hereby proclaim the establishment of a Greater Austrian State in place of the Dual Empire of Austria-Hungary.”

Franz Joseph’s useless pride in his own achievement of the Great Compromise and the strong opposition of the Hungarians who did not want to lose their power within the Dual Empire.

And with the shots fired in Sarajevo, the Greater Austrian Union, which had remained in history only the dream of Franz Ferdinand, was proclaimed.

“Waaa …

That fact caused a great cheer among the Austro-Hungarians, or rather the Greater Austrian States.

In particular, the voices of the Slavs, who had been unable to speak out politically for a long time due to being pushed out by the Austrians and Hungarians, and the Italians, whose numbers had increased significantly after Lombardy came over to Austria-Hungary following Veneto and Venice, were the loudest.

“In the end, this is what happened.”

“There’s no way around it. With the victory in the war, the authority of the imperial family has become stronger than ever.”

Of course, the Hungarians who had tried so hard to prevent the Greater Austrian Union did not cheer but only smiled bitterly.

“… … .”

When it came to Admiral Miklós Horthy, who had been representing the interests of the Hungarian people, he simply bowed his head in silence.

“Hahahaha! You’re so cute, Hungarians!”

This was a stark contrast to Josip Broz, whose face was brighter than ever, as he had made a major contribution to helping Charles I establish the Austrian Confederation.

“Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Austrian Union!”

“Thank you for your hard work, Father.”

Crown Prince Otto approached Charles I as he came down from the podium, waving to the cheering people.

“His late Majesty Franz Ferdinand will be very pleased.”

“Yes, his dream has finally come true. Anyway, the war is over and the big thing is over, so I should probably tell Duke Choi to hurry up and arrange your wedding.”

“Are you talking about a wedding?”

“I can’t leave the position of Crown Princess vacant any longer. Surely you won’t come now and say no, will you?”

“Absolutely not! I want to do it quickly!”

“Haha! I knew you’d say that.”

In response to the Emperor’s words, Crown Prince Otto smiled brightly and answered as if he had no complaints at all.

That smile was as bright as the future of the Habsburgs and the Austrian Union.

It was a smile that could not be seen on some earth that had fallen bitterly and miserably.
