Episode 497: The End and the Beginning (3)
“Our Ottoman Empire is a permanent member of the UN Security Council. It’s a day like this, Prime Minister Kahraman Turk.”
“It was because of His Majesty’s good will and the efforts of the Ottoman people.”
“The Prime Minister’s virtue cannot be left out either.”
Kemal Kahramanturk smiles broadly at the praise of Mehmet VI.
Although it was not a position obtained solely by the power of the Ottoman Empire, but rather a fortunate one due to the power struggles among the Chinese trio, the support of Germany, and political reasons such as the need to have at least one Asian country among the permanent members, a permanent member is still a permanent member.
It was not a situation to be taken lightly or taken lightly, so even Kemal, who was always calm, could not help but laugh this time.
“By the way, it’s surprising. That old bastard Venizelos is just watching while our Ottomans are appointed as a permanent member of the Security Council.”
Although relations between Greece and the Ottomans had changed from the bitter enmity of the past to more of a bickering rivalry, Mehmet VI expected to find at least one or two nitpicks.
Because he’s a grumpy old man whose hobby is nagging Osman whenever he does something.
“Isn’t it time for Venizelos to die too?”
It is not wrong to say that Venizelos has outlived his original history, perhaps because of his conflicts with the vanished royal family and the effects of his occupation of Constantine, now called Constantinople in Greek.
“Of course, there was also German influence.”
“Well, that would be the biggest one. Anyway, the war is over, and the empire has regained its position as a force to influence the world, even if it is only a facade. So we must continue to exert more effort in internal affairs and acquire the dignity and national power that befits it.”
“Of course, Your Majesty. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.”
“Haha, that’s a good point. Who said that?”
“That’s what Prime Minister Choi said.”
And Hans, as you all probably guessed, is a rip-off of some Spider-Man comic.
“These are words that those involved in politics must take to heart.”
Of course, Mehmet VI, who was unaware of this fact, exclaimed in admiration.
If Padishah knew the truth, he would have looked beyond dumbfounded and bewildered.
“By the way, I heard a rumor recently that Jews have been bothering the Prime Minister. Is that true?”
“Unfortunately, it is true. Of course, not all Jews are like that, and some extreme Zionists are making a fuss. They are talking about the oppression and massacre of Jews by the Axis powers and want to move to the old land of Israel.”
It was absurd to think that not only did they have nothing to do with the persecution of the Jews, but even the French Jews, the biggest victims, did not agree with their claims.
The conflict with the locals living there and the resulting fallout for the Osmans is completely ignored.
“That’s not very good news. I trust the Prime Minister will handle it well, but with Egypt in such turmoil recently, it would be no good for nearby Palestine to be thrown into chaos.”
As soon as the war ended, Mehmet VI sighed deeply as if he had encountered yet another trouble.
Recently, a coup took place in the Kingdom of Egypt, which was experiencing continued political instability, and the monarchy collapsed.
After the Cairo Conference, King Farouk, who had been plagued by demands for his abdication every day, went into exile in Persia where his sister was married, and a military led by young officers such as Anwar Sadat and Gamal Abdel Nasser seized power in Egypt.
This was not a good thing for the Ottomans, who were right next door and a fellow Islamic country, and who could be affected in some way by the Egyptian coup.
This was especially true when we consider that the young officers who staged the coup were advocating pan-Arabism.
For the Ottoman Empire, the story of pan-Arabism naturally brought to mind the rebellion of the now-extinct House of Saud.
“The war is over, but it still seems like God’s peace is far from coming to this land.”
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. Our Ottoman Empire has overcome the brink of destruction many times before, and we will surely overcome this time too.”
Mehmet VI smiled and nodded at Kemal’s assurance.
Although complete peace in the empire still seems a long way off, no matter what hardships may arise, the Ottoman Empire will once again advance into an era of glory and prosperity.
Because Osman is not alone.

“This place hasn’t changed since the old days.”
Meanwhile, in the old capital of Imperial Russia, which had returned from Leningrad to St. Petersburg after it became a Finnish territory, Nicholas II and his eldest daughter Olga were touring the Winter Palace, which had once again become the property of the Romanov family.
“The hanging picture, the scratches on the wall… … it’s just as I remembered.”
“father…….”
Despite Olga’s emotional voice, the old Nicholas II could not take his eyes off the walls and columns that held old memories, the walls and columns of the Winter Palace that had once again become the Romanovs’.
“Thank you, Mannerheim. If it weren’t for you, I would never have gotten this place back in my lifetime.”
“No, Your Majesty. On the contrary, I feel sorry that this is all I can do to help you.”
Mannerheim, who had been a man of great loyalty to the Tsar and who had remained friendly with the Romanov family even after the Kingdom of Finland was established, answered with a regretful expression.
Although I would have liked to completely destroy the Soviet Union and return the crown of Russia to the Tsar, that was impossible.
This is because not only did the upper echelons of the Allied powers have no interest in the revival of Imperial Russia, but even the Russian people would not welcome the return of the Romanovs.
As vicious as Soviet rule was, so was the rule of the incompetent Tsar.
“For me, this is also something to be thankful for.”
Above all, Nicholas II had no lingering attachment to the throne.
What was important to him now was not Russia, but his life as a dairy farmer with his cows as his friends.
“Besides, I’m busy.”
The war that stood in the way of Romanov Dairy’s efforts to build a milk empire has ended.
With Yusupov, the head of the U.S. branch, also safe (he had survived by being held in a camp other than Washington, D.C.), Nicholas II was eager to resume business in the United States.
Moreover, the mafia that had been in the way was also in decline due to MacArthur’s oppression and civil war.
If the stake is acquired, it would not be a dream for Romanov Dairy to take over the North American market following Europe.

“Father has become a businessman now.”
“I like the ranch owner side, but that’s why I’m thinking of handing over the company to Anastasia once the business stabilizes and retiring from the front lines.”
“I don’t know if the Romanov Dairy can handle that brat.”
“Haha, I guess everyone will get used to it as time goes by. Anyway, Moscow still seems to be noisy.”
“Yes, I thought Andropov would sort things out quickly, but it seems he’s having a much harder time than I thought. It’s a good thing for Ukraine, though.”
Actually, Andropov felt aggrieved.
After demonstrating his ability and skill and almost finishing up the internal reorganization, Konev, who was released from captivity at the end of the war and returned to the Soviet Union, gathered together the anti-Andropov forces that were on the verge of collapse.
As a result, Andropov was struggling with a political dispute with Konev while still unable to properly deal with the aftermath of the war.
“The war is over, so it would be nice if we could just find peace.”
“Not everyone in the world is like my father. Even Trotsky left China for South America at that age, still determined to start a revolution.”
For Olga, the only thing that came to mind was that Trotsky was Trotsky.
Of course, the United States, which was trying to regain its influence in the American continent under the leadership of FDR, who had been President of the Republic of California and then President of the United States, would not sit idly by and watch this happen.
“Anyway, the political strife in the Soviet Union will end someday.”
And in Olga’s opinion, this was likely to end in Andropov’s victory.
He was a capable man, and above all, he was supported by people who suffered under the Stalinist regime.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether the Soviet Union will achieve peace and prosperity or will eventually collapse, unable to overcome its gap with reality.
“Let’s go back now, Father.”
“Okay, let’s do that. Olga, you said you were going to Berlin like this, right?”
“Yes, there is a very important event coming up in Germany soon.”
After two world wars, an event that would determine the future of Europe.
* * *
“A year ago today, we marked the end of World War II.”
August 12, 1938, exactly one year after the end of World War II.
Standing on the podium at the so-called Victory Day celebration hall, I slowly opened my mouth in front of monarchs, leaders, and politicians from various European countries.
“And today we will move beyond the memory of war and begin a new beginning, a new beginning for Europe.”
European Union.
The time has come to take a major step beyond the existing customs union and unite the power and voice of Europe under the banner of the Kaiserreich.
‘Of course, we’re still just getting started.’
As a practical matter, we have not yet reached the stage of complete economic integration represented by the euro.
In the first place, it will take more time to get there than it does now.
“Of course, conflict will not disappear. Hatred and discrimination will not disappear. But we have learned how to overcome them through hardship and trials, and we have realized that we must come together as one for the future we will leave to our children.”
Heart thump thump──
But the mere idea of uniting as one to put an end to the internal conflicts within Europe, represented by the two world wars, was enough to make the hearts of many gathered here today beat faster.
“Brothers and sisters of Europe, let us join hands and move forward. For an era of peace in which the flames of war will never again break out in Europe, in harmony among the nations and peoples, for an era of prosperity that represents the good old days of Europe that many still remember, let us join hands and move forward. In this way, let us make the era that everyone has only dreamed of as an ideal a reality!”
“Wow!!”
Bam baam baam~ Bam baam baam~ Bam baam baam~ Bam baam baam~
As soon as I finished speaking, a huge cheer and magnificent singing began to resound.
Even those who don’t know anything about classical music have probably heard of the 9th symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, the last symphony of the musical saint and considered the pinnacle of his works.
Among them, it was An die Freude, based on a poem by the German poet Friedrich Schiller.
[Oh joy, beautiful radiance of God, daughters of paradise. Let us all, intoxicated with passion, enter the sanctuary full of light (Freude, daring joy, let us all enter the sanctuary full of light, intoxicated with passion)!]
And from that day forward, it was a song that would be remembered as a European anthem symbolizing the European Union.
[Your divine power reunites those whom harsh reality has divided, and all men become brothers. Where your gentle wings rest!]
People standing up and swaying to the sound of a song that not only Germans but also Europeans cannot help but know.
“You who have received the great gift of heaven, you who have found true friendship, you who know the warmth of women, let us all sing a song of joy!”
At the same time, hymns flowed from their mouths, harmonizing with the voices of the choir.
“Yes, even if there is only one heart, all those on earth who believe in Him! But those who do not even have that, let them go away quietly, weeping!”
The hall was filled with harmony, as if the unity that the European Union symbolizes, transcending the times of conflict and strife, was here.
“Joy, beautiful radiance of God, daughters of paradise!”
“Let us all, intoxicated with passion, enter the sanctuary filled with light!”
“Your divine power reunites those whom harsh reality has divided, and all men become brothers!”
“Where your soft wings rest!”
Waaa …
As the song ended, a huge cheer echoed throughout the venue once again.
From the center of it all, I made a final cry to the united European people.
“We will achieve it. Harmony in diversity!”
And we will get there.
An era of peace, harmony, prosperity and development awaits us.
