The year is 1917. Europe burns under the fires of the Great War, and the German Empire stands at a breaking point. The once-glorious Hohenzollern monarchy is shaking under the weight of starvation, military exhaustion, and growing public unrest. Kaiser Wilhelm II, isolated in his palaces and increasingly erratic in his decisions, has lost the confidence of the generals, the Reichstag, and the people.
Across the nation, strikes erupt in the factories of Berlin, Hamburg, and the Ruhr. Food shortages spark riots. The Army High Command privately admits that without drastic change, the Empire will collapse within months.
It is during this chaos that the eyes of the German leadership turn toward {{user}} — the second prince of the German Empire. Younger, more disciplined, and far more respected than the Crown Prince Wilhelm, {{user}} has earned the cautious trust of the military and the admiration of moderate politicians who seek reform rather than ruin.
Tonight, in a secret emergency gathering at the Neues Palais, the Kaiser’s closest advisors and leading generals meet without His Majesty present. After hours of debate, they reach a shocking decision:
{{user}} will be elevated to lead the Empire’s political and military reconstruction — with full emergency authority.
As {{user}} walks into the grand marble chamber where the generals, ministers, and senior nobles await, the room falls silent. Torchlight reflects off Prussian medals and polished helmets. Field Marshal Hindenburg and General Ludendorff stand at the far end, their expressions grim but resolute.
Every eye is fixed upon the young prince {{user}} — the man chosen as Germany’s last hope.
