Captain Ludwig von Hessmann took a taxi carriage from the Army General Hospital branch in Toxson town to the Grand General Staff at Konech Square in Berlin; the cold and humid weather in Berlin in February was very similar to his mood at this time. He woke up in that damn broken hospital more than a month ago, as a German militarist injured on the battlefield of the Eastern Front of World War I... But he clearly remembered that before he fell into a coma, he was Lu Xiaohua, a Chinese student studying abroad at the First Natural School of Humboldt University in Germany!

"Damn German guy! Damn Old Man Shi! Damn Brain Wave Experiment..." Rearing on the back of the carriage, Captain Hessman cursed and spoke standard Chinese Mandarin. As a former "German fan", Lu Xiaohua was quite superstitious about "German" things or people, otherwise he would not have traveled far away to study in Germany - now it seems that this is a huge mistake. If he didn't come to Germany, he would not have met Professor Schlieffen, the Frankenstein, and would not have been fooled by this unreliable German old man to do any dangerous brain wave control experiments, so that his pure soul would not have inexplicably traveled into a large German Imperial officer a hundred years ago.

Although Lu Xiaohua liked "time travel" before he met it. However, it was not so easy to accept when he really fell on his head. This was not something Ye Gong Haolong, but he woke up in a dirty and worn military hospital with gauze wrapped around his head, and felt like he was about to fall apart. He was dying and wanted to say goodbye to everything he loved in the past - parents, brothers, studies, and girlfriend who had finally gotten into it, and then face a new life that was likely to be a tragic one!

Yes, it's very likely to be a tragedy!

Because the era when Lu Xiaohua's rebirth was a tragic era - it is March 1917, and the First World War was at its climax, countless lives were swallowed up by the war, and the entire Europe was almost turned into ruins. For Germany, where he is now, there is more than a year before his final defeat.

With the historical and military knowledge that Lu Xiaohua, a German fan who no longer believes in the Germans, could not think of any possibility of a German army captain saving the destruction of the Second Empire?

Even if it was Lu Xiaohua, no, it should be Captain Ludwig von Hessmann who received a notice asking him to report to the General Staff at Koenig Square... What role can a captain play even if he arrives at the General Staff?

At most, I would run a leg with tea and water. According to the memory left to Lu Xiaohua by Captain Hessman, who graduated from the Grosley-Heatherfield Officer School with excellent grades. Sending tea and water to the General Staff Department is a must for most German elites to rise.

According to the rules of the game in the German Army for father-in-law and academic qualifications, Captain Hessman (a Junker aristocrat) with a good education is a relatively promising army officer. He will wander back and forth between the General Staff, embassy and army units abroad for many years, accumulate various experiences, and gradually improve. When he is in his forties or fifties, he will be promoted to the level of generals if he is lucky or become a general in the General Staff... If he wants to go further, it depends on whether His Majesty the Emperor of the German Empire is worthy of this German Army elite who can speak five languages, is not tall, is a little fat, has a lot of freckles on his face, and is very likable when he smiles.

Of course, the above path to promotion of the German Army is meaningless to Hessman now. Because he knew that the arrogant German second Germany had only more than a year left.

Since Lu Xiaohua became a German captain rather than an admiral, no one could save this empire that was trapped in the quagmire of war. After the defeat, Germany would be castrated and bound by the Treaty of Versailles, and the size of the National Defense Army was only 100,000. Hessmann was lucky to stay in this small army without laying off and losing his job. He probably had to wait until the head of state came to power...

By the way, where is the head of state now? Recovering in the hospital or squatting on the Western Front? Do you want to go to his place early to be familiar with him? When the Nazis come to power, we will also get a marshal or something? But... Can that lunatic Hitler win the world war this time? If you defeat it again, you may have to follow the marshal of the Third Reich!

When he thought of hanging, Hessman felt his neck tight and he had difficulty breathing. He reached out and pushed open the window, and the cold and humid air blew into the carriage, driving away the feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath. His eyes turned to the streets outside the window, and the carriage had entered the city of Berlin, and was moving on the Elector Avenue. The road was very deserted. Although it was already noon, there were no pedestrians - most of the men who could pick up rifles were enlisted in the army, and all the places became depressed. A big city like Berlin was better, but if you went to the countryside, it would be even more depressed. Large tracts of land were abandoned because there was no labor force to farm.

The shops and restaurants on the streets were deserted, and half of them were simply closed. In fact, these shops and restaurants did not have enough goods to sell. There were only long queues in front of the shops that supplied the rationed materials... For Germany, the world war was too long and too large. The reserves before the war had been consumed, and too much labor turned into soldiers carrying guns, which also caused heavy damage to German production. Moreover, due to the blockade of the British Navy, Germany could not purchase urgently needed materials from overseas.

The combined combination of various factors makes the supply in Germany more and more difficult. Not only does it find it difficult for ordinary people to get enough food, but even the number of patients in the army hospital where Hessmann lives has become a little bad... It seems that this defeat was inevitable.

So what about the next world war? It’s related to whether you will not be on the gallows, so you must think carefully!

Captain Hessman's brow gradually condensed into a ball, and what emerged in his mind were memories of World War II brought by later generations, as well as various in-depth analysis of World War II Germany at the military forums in later generations.

If you abandon democracy, freedom, and anti-fascism, the high-end banner of World War II and World War I, it is a late-developing power to challenge the old empires that had long divided the world - mainly Britain and the United States. If you spread out the maps before World War I and before World War II, you will know that most of the undeveloped and underdeveloped territories in the world are colonies or spheres of influence between Britain and the United States.

Among them, Britain has the largest territory, claiming that the sun never sets, and its colonies are everywhere! It also owns two rich lands, India and South Africa (producing gold). Moreover, the British Empire also has the most powerful navy in the world, and is the master of the ocean!

The American colonies, which later generations, were not many, but their sphere of influence were not small. They claimed that America was American. Except for Canada and a few small colonies controlled by Europeans, the entire America can be regarded as the sphere of influence of the United States!

In addition, the United States has two important colonies in the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii and the Philippines, and their land is rich and vast. It is enough to support the world's largest economy and will definitely have a bright future.

In addition, America is quite close to the British Empire in terms of culture, thought, system and capital!

According to some non-mainstream economists in later generations, the British Empire and the American Empire were both countries controlled by large capital and large consortiums. And capital has no boundaries between Britain and the United States, so the world's dominance shifted from Britain to the United States, which was no different for these consortiums hiding behind the scenes - they could easily transfer capital from Britain to the United States, use the United States shell, and continue to rule the world!

However, if the rule of the world is transferred to the hands of the German Empire, which pursues nationalism, it will undoubtedly be the end of the world for the British and American consortiums. Although Germany also has many famous large consortiums, the one who ruled Germany was always the army that pursued nationalism, not the chaebol.

If the United Kingdom and the United States have a consortium owns a country, then in Germany, it means the army owns a country. The consortium must serve the army and the country, not the other way around.

It is precisely based on this point that the large consortium that ruled the United States did not want to see Britain defeated by countries outside the United States in the world war! It was even more unwilling to see the emergence of a European continent ruled by German nationalists...

According to this theory, the essence of the two world wars was the struggle between international capitalism and the nationalism of latecomer powers.

The result of the two struggles was that the nationalism of the latecomer countries was completely defeated! In the eyes of some keyboard politicians in later generations, this was a certain necessity - because the international capitalist side was united in the world war. Although there was a contradiction in national interests between Britain and the United States dominated by large capital and large consortiums, the contradictions did not turn into confrontation. On the contrary, European latecomer powers dominated by nationalism started a desperate battle.

The late-developing powers, such as Germany and Russia (including the Soviet Union, which pursues one country's socialism), not only could not unite in the world war, but instead fought each other, shedding blood, and became a stepping stone for the "selected country" of international capitalism to ascend to the throne of hegemony.

"What a tragedy!" Hessman lamented in pain, as if he had seen the hanging rope wrap around his neck.

"No! You can't let the evil American imperialism hang me... I must think of something!"
