Chapter 192: The Rise of a Great Power! Does Germany also have a current situation map?
And a new day, a new sky appears.

[The rise of a great power! The rise of Germany! ]

【Empire Spring and Autumn! 】

The first thing that appeared on the sky was a beautiful city.

There are not only canals and classical buildings, but also thousands of acres of fertile fields.

Compared with many modern cities in later generations, the city with a classical pastoral style on the sky is obviously more pleasing to the ancient people.

More importantly, it seems that this road to heaven tells the story of the rise of Germany!

Thanks to Tianmu Science for the World War II video.

The ancients were also relatively familiar with later Germany.

I know this is a country with a strong military.

But in ancient times.

Especially those turbulent times in ancient times.

Military strength often means everything.

So, when the ancient rulers saw the sky curtain begin to tell the story of Germany's rise, they all opened their eyes wide, afraid of missing any details.

Huo Qubing said excitedly:

"Although the German army suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Moscow during World War II."

"But this does not change the fact that they were the strongest army in World War II."

“Is the new sky curtain going to tell the story of how Germany rose to prominence?”

"Rise requires war!"

"I really want to see the process of Germany's rise, and see how their army beat up European countries and rose smoothly."

While the ancients were paying attention, the sky curtain had an infectious sound.

Also began to tell the story.

【The Federal Republic of Germany is the largest country in central Europe. 】

【This land has been nourished by classical music and classical philosophy. 】

[Germany is also the birthplace of the Second Industrial Revolution and is world-famous for its modern universities and technology. ]

【But Germany was also the source of the two world wars, bringing profound disasters to itself and the people of the world.】

【And it became a major reason for the source of war. 】

【It is because of the German people’s collective memory of long-term division and war. 】

[The pursuit of national unity and strength has become the biggest driving force for Germany's development. 】

[In the two hundred years of pursuit of unification, what kind of tragedies and comedies have been staged on this land? ]

……

On the sky curtain, a group of German citizens holding musical instruments appeared.

They gathered in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, the capital of Germany.

【Citizens gathered in small groups to celebrate Germany's National Day. 】

[The Brandenburg Gate behind them is a landmark building in Germany. ]

[The goddess statue on the door is called the goddess of peace by the German people. ]

[More than two hundred years ago, Napoleon, the conqueror who captured the Brandenburg Gate, took away the Statue of Peace from here.]

[Napoleon led the invincible French army, swept across European countries, and easily conquered the German region in central Europe. ]

【Emperor Napoleon entered Berlin as a conqueror.】

[The Statue of Peace was also dismantled and shipped back to France as a trophy.]

Outside the sky.

The ancient people were a little dumbfounded when they saw this.

The invincible French army?

The French emperor conquered the German capital of Berlin?

Which world line is this from?

Isn't it said that France is weak and Germany is strong?
Shang Dynasty.

The picture King Zhou saw on the sky curtain was a painting.

A man with a show of force rode into the city on a warhorse.

The background of the picture is the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

Emperor Xin doubted and said:

"The French army, the shame of Europe, conquers Germany?"

"Could this be another joke from a later game?"

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng was also skeptical when he first saw it.

Is this a joke or even nonsense from Tianmu?

Seeing Ying Zheng's suspicious look, the ministers beside him also raised questions.

"This must be Tianmu's joke."

"Today's milking method, today's milking method! Today's milking method, today's milking method!"

"We all know how powerful the German army is. It's good enough that France is not destroyed! Not to mention entering the German capital."

"That Napoleon might be fake too!"

It can be said that Ying Zheng’s first thought was the same as that of the ministers around him.

But then I thought about it.

Ying Zheng shook his head slowly.

"Not necessarily. France may not always be so weak."

"After all, from a geographical point of view, the land in France is relatively fertile."

"If France had always been weak, they would have been divided up long ago."

"Maybe it was the only shining moment in French history?"

"Napoleon?"

Ying Zheng remembered this keyword.

When Tianmu was talking about the Battle of Moscow, he briefly mentioned Napoleon.

It is said that Napoleon also occupied Moscow.

Ying Zheng had already seen how difficult it was to conquer Moscow.

Since Napoleon was able to capture Moscow, it seems possible that he could capture Berlin. Han Dynasty

I admired Germany's Huo Qubing very much. I saw on the sky curtain that it was a shame that France, a mere country, had conquered German land and entered Germany's capital!
Huo Qubing just wanted to exclaim that it was impossible!
It is absolutely impossible.

But Huo Qubing had a good memory as a young man.

The first thing he thought of was Napoleon's conquest of Moscow, which was mentioned on the sky curtain.

So I came to a similar idea as Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng.

"Probably overall, Germany is much stronger than France."

"It was just that during that time, France crushed Germany because of Napoleon."

The sky continues.

[After Napoleon conquered Germany, humiliation once again befell this land known as the European Corridor.]

[Germany has been a strategic location since ancient times. Just like Xuzhou, it is difficult to say what is right and wrong.]

[Germans often become mercenaries for the powerful nations surrounding them.]

【Germans, killing each other on German soil.】

【After the Thirty Years' War, in which the great powers fought for hegemony on German soil, ended. 】

【The nations signed the Peace of Westphalia.】

【From a legal perspective, the status quo of the division of Germany is ensured. 】

[314 states of varying sizes were formed on the German land.]

[Although they all theoretically belong to the Holy Roman Empire of Germany. ]

【But in reality, each of them operates independently. 】

Central authority is almost nonexistent.

Qin Dynasty.

When Ying Zheng saw this, he smiled knowingly.

"I see. I was wondering how it was possible that Germany, which was so powerful in the future, could be easily defeated by France?"

"It turns out that they were in a situation where they were nominally one country, but in reality each was acting independently."

"I, Daqin, am all too familiar with this situation!"

"Isn't the so-called Holy Roman Emperor the Emperor of Zhou?"

"Since they are called the Holy Roman Empire."

"Then the Zhou Dynasty could also be called the Holy Great Zhou Empire."

"If Germany was divided into hundreds of small countries, it might not be a match for the unified French Empire."

"Don't even think that hundreds of countries can unite to fight against the invasion of a powerful enemy."

"But in reality, each will act on their own, with some resisting, some watching, and some simply surrendering."

“No wonder Napoleon was able to conquer Berlin.”

"It all makes sense."

Tianmu's next words seemed to verify Ying Zheng's speculation.

【When Napoleon's army invaded Germany. 】

【This so-called empire is completely powerless to resist. 】

[The two largest states at the head of the empire, Prussia and Austria, both suffered disastrous defeats.]

[Prussia even lost half of its land.]

[The nominal Holy Roman Empire, which lasted for nearly a thousand years, collapsed. ]

[Some German states were even controlled by Napoleon, and a Rhine Confederation was established. ]

【A few years later, the group disbanded.】

【After the Napoleonic Wars. 】

【When there is not even a nominal country on the land of Germany. 】

[People can't help but think of the German poet Schiller's sentiments. ]

【Germany, where is he? I can't find that place.】

[And Schiller's friend Goethe said it more directly:]

[There is no city or place that we can firmly say is Germany.]

【If we ask where this is in Vienna, the answer is this is Austria. 】

If we ask in Berlin where this is, the answer is that this is Prussia.

Where is Germany?

[This historical question tortures the heart of every German.]

【German musicians, such as Beethoven and Wagner. 】

【German poets, such as Goethe and Schiller. 】

[German philosophers, such as Hegel, Fichte, Liszt...]

[They are all seeking the answer to this question in their own way. ]

When Tianmu told the story here.

The background is an incredible-looking painting.

It was called the Partition of Germany among the Great Powers.

That is the current situation map of Germany.

……

《Bullet screen: self-evident, clear at a glance.》

"It turns out that Germany also has such a humiliating history."

History always repeats itself in a surprising way!

"It turns out that Germany also had a current situation map, which was even several decades earlier than the Qing Dynasty's current situation map."

"The second and third Germans were so powerful, but how could Germany be so poor a few decades ago?"

"Please tell me which states of the Holy Roman Empire those philosophers, musicians, and poets are from."

"No wonder ideas ferment so violently here."

"Heroes emerge in troubled times, and a hundred schools of thought contend!"

Voltaire: Neither Holy, Nor Roman, Nor Imperial!

"Where is Germany? Moustache: That's a good question!"
