One of German government's recent main tasks is to support the independence of Finland and Ukraine. According to the plan, the two countries will establish Kingdom of Finland and Kingdom of Ukraine. König is also responsible for the Emperor of the Empire.
"Your Majesty, Finland and Ukraine have all agreed that Your Majesty will serve as the König of both countries. However, they proposed that the next König can choose one of your descendants to serve." Prime Minister Bülow said.
Oscar shook his head. "It seems that they still want to completely get rid of the Empire's control and truly achieve independence! This article clearly rejects them. Tell them that König can only be held concurrently by the Emperor of the Empire in the future. The Empire royal family will not send Prince to serve as the König of these two countries. Of course, they can also refuse. But they should be clear about what that means."
Oscar knows that if his descendants serve as König for Finland and Ukraine, then once one or two generations pass, the two parties will also be separated. In this case, Finland and Ukraine can take the opportunity to get rid of the influence of Germany and truly achieve independence. Europe Countries are constantly at war with each other. But the royal families of various countries are often related by blood. But even so, everyone was beaten to death. In order to avoid this situation from happening, Oscar disagrees with the requirements of Finland and Ukraine people. As long as the König of the two countries is always held by the Emperor of the Empire, then these two countries will inevitably be affected by the Empire.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand. I will refuse Finland People's Day Ukraine. I believe they don't have the guts to refuse." Prime Minister Bülow said.
Oscar nodded, he also believed that Bülow would handle these people well.
"Although we have promised that the government affairs of the two countries will be handled by themselves. However, the governments of both countries are still being formed. There are many places that need Empire's guidance. The government should send a certain number of officials to guide them! I have only one request, and that is that the policies implemented in the two countries must be beneficial to the general public. Abolish those harsh taxes and make the people's lives better and better. Empire also needs to let them feel the real benefits in its trade with the two countries. In this way, the people of the two countries will be grateful to the Empire. Only then can Empire truly utilize the power of these two countries. Maybe, after many years, when the people of the two countries fully identify with the Empire, they will take the initiative to join Empire!" said Oscar.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange for someone to do it." Prime Minister Bülow nodded. He knows what Oscar means, which is to win the hearts and minds of the people in these two countries. After gaining the approval of the people of both countries, everything will fall into place.
Ukraine The capital is Kiev, and not far from here a Small Town, Ukraine people called Irpin are celebrating the lockdown. The heavy ears of wheat have been threshed and are being dried. After drying, it can be stored in a warehouse.
Almost every Ukraine person's face is filled with a smile of joy and happiness.
As Russia's main granary, Ukraine's grain plays a decisive role in Russia. However, it is a pity that Ukraine provides Russia with a large amount of food, but most Ukraine people cannot even fill their own stomachs. Many people even had to rely on wild vegetables to survive during the lean years, and not a few people starved to death every year.
Although the Ukraine people are the second largest ethnic group of Russia. However, they have no status in Russia. All along, I have been oppressed and exploited by Russians. Most of the food they harvest every year must be handed over to Russian government, and they can only keep a small part.
In order to be able to change their own destiny, Ukraine people also resisted. However, after the fierce Cossack cavalry used a saber to chop off the heads of all the Ukraine people who dared to resist, the remaining Ukraine people became honest and could only be exploited by the government. The only thing they could look forward to was perhaps going to heaven after death. Of course, no one knows whether there is a heaven, and no one has actually seen it. This is just a tactic used by the rulers to fool the people, just like the Chinese people believe in an afterlife.
But now, the lives of Ukraine people have undergone earth-shaking changes. Those vicious Russian tax officials have left. Replaced by the Ukraine government's own tax officer. The new taxes are also very low. Compared with the original Russians that required them to hand over most of their food to the government, the new tax revenue is only a small part of the food they grow. Most of the food belongs to them. This makes these Ukraine people even more motivated.
"God bless you, the cruel Tsar has finally been overthrown. From today on, the happy life of Ukraine people will come!" An old man with a gray beard looked at the wheat being dried at home, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum.
"Uncle Karl, what are you happy about? Are you smiling so happily?" asked a middle-aged man passing by.
"Is there anything that makes me happier than having a good harvest at home? This year, I finally don't have to go hungry." said the old man Karl.
"Yes! This year's tax is also very low. Finally, we don't have to look for wild vegetables to eat. Uncle, I heard that soon German Emperor Your Majesty will also serve as our König. Ukraine has not had its own country for many years." The middle-aged man said.
"No matter who comes to be Ukraine's König, as long as he can keep people full and not starve to death, my old man will support him and love him!" said the old man Karl.
Indeed, the people have become simple. This is especially true for farmers who work with the fields. As long as they can have something to eat and fill their stomachs, they will be content with the status quo and be grateful.
No matter who becomes their König, as long as they can do this, they will be loved by the people.
The same situation is happening throughout Ukraine. Ukraine people who are used to being exploited are very satisfied with their current lives. Although everyone is still very poor, they already have hope for their future life. They believe that life will get better and better in the future. Under such circumstances, almost no one objects to German Emperor serving as their König. Even because they can live a happy life, everyone loves His Majesty the King who is far away from Berlin. If someone wants to take away their current life, they will fight to the death.
