Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Yannick narrated Brauchitsch's life story on his own.

"On April 9, 1241, your family officially moved from Germany to Poland. On December 7, 1259, your settlement was officially renamed Brauchitschdorf (Brauchitschdorf, just like the Chinese village) by the then king. Lijiacun, Zhangjiatun is the same)."

Unfortunately, due to the decline of the family and repeated setbacks in the competition among the nobility, the territory of the Brauchitsch family was taken back in 1636. By the end of the 17th century, the family itself could be said to have fallen apart, and each of them went off to pursue their own interests.

"Colonel Brauchitsch, you are the sixth of seven children in your family. When you went to school, it happened to coincide with the trial period of the Prussian army reform in 1877, so you went to school one year earlier than others. You attended the preparatory course of the military school at the age of 14. (Voranstalten), and then successfully admitted to Gross-Lichtfeld, the main school in Berlin." This school admits 15-year-old boys, most of whom are from aristocratic families, and the schooling lasts for four years. The students who enter will go through various arduous tests and layers of screening to hone their perseverance and loyalty, and only 20% will be left to graduate. Brauchitsch is one of these graduates.

Brauchitsch, who was 17 years old at the time, passed the officer candidate examination with the second highest score in Grosslichfeld's grade.

On April 1 of the same year, he was selected into Selekta (the name of each elite class in the school). (A brief explanation here is that this Selekta is not accessible to ordinary people. Not only does it not include any non-noble members, but the requirements for academic performance and military training are extremely high. Therefore, about 60 to 80 people are selected in each session. In the end Only about 40 can actually persist and graduate.) In Brauchitsch's class, 47 junior officers successfully graduated.

In addition, students from Selekta's elite class can be sent to the palace to serve as royal chamberlains or personal guards.

"Colonel, you served as Queen Victoria's personal attendant, and you also had a lot of contact with my grandfather. Everyone knows that my grandfather's temper is not very good, it can be said that he is violent.

During a palace football match, Colonel, you accidentally kicked my grandfather in the stomach when you were playing as a defender, so you also received two big slaps, right? "

Listening to Yannick's narration as if telling a story, Brauchic felt his back soaked with cold sweat. What kind of intelligence power does it take to investigate so carefully? "Your Highness..."

Yannick waved his hand. "If you still hold a grudge about this, then I apologize on behalf of my grandfather."

Brauchic was really panicked. If the car hadn't been too narrow, he might have jumped up to show his loyalty. "Your Highness, you are too harsh. I didn't even remember that incident. There is no such thing as holding a grudge or not. My loyalty to the royal family can be learned from time to time!"

Yannick looked into his eyes tightly and asked. "Then if there is a conflict between the interests of the German imperial power and the Junker aristocracy, which side will you choose?" Germany's Junkers are actually Germany's elite. Since the founding of Prussia in 1704, Junkers began to form. They received advanced education and were the actual rulers of Germany. Even the subsequent bourgeois revolution did not affect them, but some of them became the bourgeoisie. In other words, the Junkers in Germany later evolved into a mixture of the landlord class and the bourgeoisie.

Even though the Hohenzollern family fell after the First World War in the original time and space, the Junkers did not. The Huo Shi family was actually the general representative of the Junkers. After the war, all countries still had to rely on Juncker to support Germany.

"..." Brauchic opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time. Just as he was suffering, the driver in front slowed down. "Your Highness, it seems we have arrived."

Geer in the passenger seat also pointed forward. "Yes, I saw the two characters 'Lenin'." After saying this, he got out of the car after the car stopped, went to the back seat and opened the door for Yannick.

Yannick looked at Brauchic who had sweat on his forehead and smiled. "You don't need to answer now, just wait a few years. I hope you can make the right choice by then."

After saying this, he got out of the car, closed the car door before the people behind him got off, and asked Geer in a low voice. "Have you ever heard that Nicholas II had an orphan?"

The orphan of Nicholas II? Geer was stunned, quickly turned over the information in his mind, and then shook his head. "Without His Highness, I only know that the Tsar's family was wiped out."

"Yes, the family was wiped out. But we can't be sure that Nicholas II did not have any illegitimate children or other orphans." Yannick lowered his voice again and ordered. "Tell Reinhard when you get back and ask him to search for the blood of the Romanov dynasty, but don't make it too public." In fact, it won't be a big deal if you go out. How could that arrogant Dalin care that a tsar had an orphan? The most you can say is to sneer at it, right?

But now Germany really can't afford to offend anyone, even if it's just a few words or a few words, it can only behave with its tail between its legs. "If you really can't find it, then look for other related people in the palace at that time. Such as servants, cooks, court magicians, priests, etc. Collect enough details as much as possible, so that even if you fabricate an orphan out of thin air, no one will To the point of doubt.”

Just as Geer was about to nod, Yannick added. "By the way, I thought of a person when I passed through Poland the day before yesterday. There is a Pole named Marian Reyewski who should be studying at the University of Göttingen now. Let Reinhard secretly monitor this person."

Marian Rejewski, this guy will be an absolute disaster if he keeps it!

The Enigma cipher used by the Germans during World War II was first cracked by the deciphering team led by him.

Later, Britain and France obtained this method. Allied intelligence called the deciphered code ULTRA, which greatly helped the Allies. The extent of ULTRA's contribution is still under debate, but a typical evaluation of it is that the Allied victory over Germany was only two years ahead of schedule because the Allies deciphered the German code.

Prior to this, cryptanalysis mainly relied on "pencil and paper" to decipher using patterns and statistical properties in natural language. For the first time, Rejevsky applied pure mathematical methods to study a cryptanalysis instrument called "Bomba". He not only deduced the rotor wiring system of the British code machine, but also gave the deciphering method. This viable method of ciphering was put into use, fundamentally developing the science of cryptanalysis. With the assistance of colleagues, he designed and built replicas of the Enigma machine and instruments for cryptanalysis, deciphering nearly 100,000 pieces of German intelligence on the eve of World War II.

After Poland was occupied, Rejewski and others fled to Paris with their instruments and established Z Group. They continued their code-breaking work at the intelligence station in Vichy, France. During this period, they deciphered more than 9,000 pieces of German intelligence, which directly or indirectly led to the It resulted in the disastrous defeats of the German army in Yugoslavia, Greece and the Soviet Union, and supported the Allied forces' North African combat plan.

Although this guy is a scourge, he is willing to serve Germany and decipher the British and American codes. He is a rare talent.

Geer nodded. "Understood, Your Highness."
