Episode 496: The End and the Beginning (2)
“It’s miserable.”
Arriving in Washington, D.C. after the declaration of war, Franklin Roosevelt sighed as he looked out over the ruins of the American capital.
MacArthur is also a really bad writer.
No matter what, it’s amazing that the capital city named after the father of the nation, Washington, has come to this point.
‘Not just Washington DC.’
It was a civil war that lasted for six years.
During that time, many cities and towns in the United States were destroyed and many people died.
Many, indeed, died in battle, in bombing, and in the massacres of the MacArthur government that could not tolerate resistance.
The population, which was over 100 million before the civil war or over 20 million, has decreased to just 100 million.
For Roosevelt and the politicians, it was a situation where they had no idea where to begin rebuilding.
“I feel like I should give up the presidency to the governor.”
“You speak so well, even though you had no such intention.”
“Hehe, did you notice it?”
“It was obvious. It’s been years since I’ve experienced a person like you.”
Roosevelt chuckled and laughed at Long’s barbed remark.
But the laughter didn’t last long.
Because it is true that it is daunting.
“Tell me, Governor. Do you think our country can ever recover its economy and influence, even before the Civil War, before the Great Depression?”
“It will be difficult right away. Neither agriculture nor industry is doing well. At least the diplomatic situation is better than under Hoover.”
“Does that make any sense?”
Long shrugged at Roosevelt’s remark.
It meant there was none.
No one would do something like Hoover, which would cause diplomatic friction with Germany, unless they suddenly developed dementia.
First of all, the United States is currently in a position where it needs economic aid from Europe for the time being in order to recover.
The German Empire, which had become the leader of Europe and a world-leading superpower through this war, had no reason to fight like Wilson or Hoover, as long as it looked good.
“But we will do it. Didn’t our ancestors come to the New World naked?”
“You mean the pioneering spirit?”
“Yes, that is the American spirit that we forgot during the war.”
At the same time, it was a spirit that needed to be engraved again.
“We must unite more than ever, as my dear friend Hans von Tsoi said, to overcome the hatred and devastation brought by war and to bring prosperity and peace to this land once again.”
“He is my friend too.”
“Haha, think whatever you want. But in that sense, things aren’t so bad.”
Americans have fought against the evil of fascism through difficult times.
Rich and poor, white and black, mafia and milkman, they all came together as one to fight for American freedom and win.
And these experiences will serve America well in its future.
“Of course, there are still those who have not escaped the era of hatred and conflict. But isn’t it our role to fight against such evil?”
“Yes, so let’s tell the racists this: Everyone is a king.”
“Hehe. I used to think the governor was extreme, but now I think he might be better at the role of president than I thought.”
Roosevelt burst into laughter again at the sight of Long proudly speaking his signature motto.
“Of course, after I become president.”
“You’re such a fucking old man.”
“Hahahaha.”
Looking at the sun emerging from between the clouds and beginning to illuminate the earth.

“Father, are you still thinking about it?”
“Friederike.”
“Today is my wedding day, you need to look good.”
The eldest daughter nodded in agreement at the voice of the man wearing a pure white wedding dress that had become popular in Europe since Queen Victoria’s wedding.
But still, the corners of my mouth were not easily raised.
There is no need to say why.
The resignation was rejected.
It’s been so long since the war ended, and you’re already thinking of taking a break? He tells me to finish up the post-war cleanup first.
“You’ve worked hard until now, so why don’t you just take a break now!”
“What will the empire do when Dad rests? You are still in the prime of your life, so why are you retiring so soon?”
“Freddie, Freddie. It’s been 36 years since this father was taken in by your maternal grandfather. And during those 36 years, he has served the Empire without fail every single day.”
If not, the German Empire would have also perished amid the eccentric collaboration between the war-minded Junkers and Wilhelm II-style diplomacy.
And my life would have been ruined too.
That’s why I’ve been working hard up until now, and I’ve finally seen the results.
The great German Empire that survived both world wars.
It is an empire for all of us that will never perish like the history of the original.
“So it’s only natural that Dad enjoys the leisure and rest he hasn’t had before.”
I want to leave Berlin and go to Friedrichshof, a place with good air and water, and live happily with Luise.
‘Of course, it’s not good to just play around too much, so sometimes you should write a book and get some advice.’
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to tend to a garden.
You can also cook meals using the crops you grow yourself for your grandchildren who visit occasionally.
This is the perfect retirement life.
“I think it would be faster to just give up.”
“Why does everyone always speak negatively when I say I want to retire?”
“Ask yourself, father. Anyway, stop whining and come here. Your mother is waiting.”
“Okay, okay.”
I slowly started walking after hearing Friederike grab my arm.
“Ugh.”
The sighs that escaped me as I realized that retirement was just around the corner but not quite there were also some things I couldn’t grasp.
“You’re finally coming.”
Louise, who passed the guests who greeted her with long self-introductions every time she took a step and then immediately went to where her family was, crossed her arms and started nagging them.
“What about your father-in-law?”
“It’s still the same.”
“Wow… … Our Freddy has grown so much already… … .”
Wilhelm II, who was extremely sad that his beloved granddaughter was getting married and leaving for the United States of Austria, spent the whole day wiping away tears with a handkerchief.
Reinhard and Christian look like they’re annoyed by their sister’s wedding and everything.

“Victoria! Marie! Where have they gone now?”
And the twins were twins.
Is it okay for our family to be like this?
“That’s not something my father should be saying.”
“That’s harsh, son. By the way, I think the Princess of Luxembourg is looking for you. Would you mind going?”
“I’ll go and check later. It’s not like the wedding will last a few hours anyway.”
“But it’s not polite to keep the profiler waiting for too long. Just go as soon as the filming is over.”
“Okay, so stop giving me dating advice. Christian is more than enough for that.”
Reinhardt, who had said that, grimaced as if he was dying from boredom.
Christian guy won’t even care about his nose.
“By the way, Reinhardt also needs to hurry up and get married before it’s too late.”
“Let’s just let this year pass, honey. Frederick’s wedding is already a struggle, and if we go through with our eldest son’s wedding too, I’ll be the first to die from overwork.”
Why do all my children end up marrying royalty?
As for Christian, there are talks of marriage between him and the British royal family.
It’s not my place to say this, but to be honest, I’m dying from all the useless work.
I’m already worried about when my twins will get married.
“Your Majesty, can we start filming now?”
“Honey, where are the twins?”
“There, Christian is bringing it.”
“Master, stop crying and come here. Isn’t this a good day? I should send Freddie off with a smile.”
“Sniff, yeah. That’s right.”
“… … If someone saw me, they would think today was my funeral, not my wedding.”
“I wouldn’t say that even as a joke, Friederike. Anyway, since you’re all here, please take your seats.”
The children each take their seats in response to Louise’s words standing next to me.
“Then, I’ll take a picture if you count to three.”
As Wilhelm II finally regained his composure and resumed his solemn appearance, the photographer stood behind the camera and answered.
“One, two, three!”
Click!
A peaceful daily life after the war.
It was an incredibly precious daily life that we all longed for.

“Good morning, Prime Minister. It is a pleasure to see you in your office again this year.”
“I’m not happy at all. By the way, Minister Adenauer, aren’t you going to run for the Chancellor position again?”
If you just say you’ll do it, I’m willing to hand it over right away.
“Heh heh… Well, I don’t plan on quitting politics, but now that the war is over, I’m thinking about taking a vacation for a few years.”
“No, I can’t retire either, so how dare you?”
“Isn’t the Prime Minister still at an age where he has a lot of work to do? Unlike me, who is old.”
“Tsk, I don’t know about other people, but when Minister Adenauer says that, it sounds like a joke.”
Isn’t this the person who served as Prime Minister even though he was an 80-year-old grandfather?
To be honest, I’m scared that I’ll be looking at that face in 30 years.
“Now, stop whining and get to work. As you know, Prime Minister, there are still mountains of work to be done.”
thud!
Adenauer, who had said so, placed a heavy stack of documents in front of me like a professor assigning homework before a holiday.
“First, I would like to ask you to approve the agenda related to the post-war reconstruction plan, commonly known as the Keitel Plan, and also to review the plan for the creation of the European Union, as there are additional parts. Oh, and I heard that the Reichspacht also wants to push forward with the reform of the imperial integration that was halted due to the Great Depression and the war.”
“… … .”
“And the IOC Commission requested a meeting with the Prime Minister to discuss the issue of adjusting the dates of the 1940 Berlin Olympic Games. President Roosevelt also requested a summit on trade issues, and many countries, including Korea, requested a visit.”
“Do you really want to make me die from overwork, Minister?”
No matter how much I do, there’s no end to it.
And why are there so many requests for overseas visits?
“It’s tough being popular.”
“Fuck.”
“Anyway, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, I would like you to fulfill all your overseas schedules, if nothing else. With the creation of the European Union imminent, we need to solidify the Empire’s influence more than ever.”
“I know that too. I’ll talk to the Secretariat and try to secure a schedule. And how’s the UN issue going?”
“Once the issue of the permanent members has been more or less resolved, things are going smoothly.”
When I asked him, sighing at the reality that there was no way out of the paperwork hell, Adenauer scratched his head and said,
The United Nations, whose creation has been discussed since the war to replace the previously powerless League of Nations.
The permanent members of the Security Council included the three major Allied powers, Germany, the United States of Austria, and the United Kingdom, as well as the United States and the Ottoman Empire.
‘Actually, at first, China was more influential than the Ottoman Empire.’
But now China was not one.
It was divided into the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the Federation of China (formerly the Chinese Communist Party).
-What more can I say? Our country should become a permanent member of the Security Council representing China!
-Ha! Qing represents China? Even a passing dog would laugh! Our Republic of China, a true Han nation, is the one qualified to become a permanent member of the Security Council!
-What? Are you done talking?!
– Okay, let’s all calm down. If we keep doing this, we’ll never reach a conclusion. In that case, our federation…
-Reds out!
And none of the three Chinas would tolerate another China taking a permanent seat on the Security Council.
“It was a headache.”
“If I had to say, it is the Prime Minister’s own fault.”
King Chiman: Many Chinas are more beautiful than one China.
The current structure, which is like looking at Zhuge Liang’s division of the world into three, is also perfect.
Anyway, after China was eliminated due to political issues, the Ottoman Empire, which was second in line, became a permanent member.
When I think back to the days when I used to listen to the voices of patients in Europe, there is no such thing as a wall between the two.
‘It’s not a bad thing for us either. Like Austria, the Ottomans are ultimately a country within our sphere of influence.’
Thanks to this, Churchill and Roosevelt looked at me with cold eyes, but with China out, there was no other candidate but Osman.
First of all, when looking at other East Asian countries, Korea is a newly independent country, and Japan is not even worth mentioning.
Expanding the scope further, there is India, whose independence is increasingly becoming a fait accompli, but in the 21st century, that level may be different, but now it is too low, and there was also great opposition from Britain, which did not want its colony to be on par with itself.
So what remains is Osman.
This was the reason why Britain and the United States could not oppose the Ottoman Empire becoming a permanent member of the Security Council.
“This is truly the German era.”
“That means I have a lot more work to do.”
When will I be able to get out of here?
Honestly, I don’t even get it anymore.
