I Became the Last Princess of the Brown Bear Kingdom

---

The German Revolution was bigger than I had imagined.

Wilhelm II, who had gone to East Prussia, attempted to retake Berlin with the Imperial Army, but—

During this time, the military had tightly suppressed the media, so the fact of the defeat had remained hidden. It was revealed by the Communist Party that the German Empire had lost all its colonies and had turned into a pawn of Britain, discarding its pride as Germans.

Especially, the act of printing money to “pretend” to pay reparations was caught, leading to a swift decline in public sentiment towards the royal family and the military.

And then.

“The Kaiser must abdicate! Wooo!”

“What have the Junkers done!”

“It seems like the Communist Party would be better!”

Even the truths that exploded before poking France with a spear only fueled the resentment towards the royal family and military.

Later, they began to propagate that they had planned to poke France, but—

That would never work.

“Another war?”

“Something is fundamentally wrong with these guys!”

The revolutions of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht diverged greatly from actual history.

While the German Empire somewhat lingered compared to real history, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht closely observed the disaster in the Soviet Union, and unlike the rapid and violent Russian Revolution, they slowly garnered public support from within and incorporated the regular army.

Differing from the Russian Revolution, which executed those who did not follow communism, the German Communist Party meticulously listed the mistakes made by the Kaiser, Junkers, and military, emphasizing that a revolt by the Communist Party was inevitable.

With that, support for the Communist Party began in southern Germany.

People outraged by the truths propagated by the Communist Party even terrorized the Junkers.

The German Communist Party subtly led the Germans to rise on their own. In contrast, the revolution in Berlin, which was suppressed by the right-wing Free Corps in actual history, was not suppressed this time.

“Is the revolution not being suppressed?”

“Your Majesty, please come this way!”

Wilhelm II, recalling the horrific execution of his relative Nikolai, finally showed signs of swift evasive action.

The German Communist Party had no intention of executing the royal family, having learned from Lenin’s complete failure.

The public sentiment was following the Communist Party, and the plan was to smoothly propose asylum to the royal family, successfully accomplishing the German Revolution.

However, like a ruler from the East in the 16th century who dominated speed and made the enemy soldiers stop in their tracks, he instantly fled back to East Prussia.

“The Kaiser has fled to East Prussia.”

“Damn it, is he still trying to fight till the end!”

Disheartened, many began to flock to the Communist Party. The German Communist Party also sought to organize the German People’s Army to forcibly seize East Prussia.

“Stop right there!”

“Is it the Brits again?”

As the British, who had been watching the revolution closely, moved Poland’s hands, they occupied Danzig, preventing the German People’s Army from heading to East Prussia.

The British mediated a truce, offering Danzig to Poland in exchange for recognizing the revolutionary government of Germany and also recognizing the Kingdom of East Prussia.

In this scenario, France subtly indicated that they could not trust Germany, conditioning the independence of the Rhineland as a neutral country. The German Communist Party strongly shifted the blame for the independence of the Rhineland onto the Kaiser and the Junkers, solidifying their revolutionary power.

Of course, the Kaiser family that fled to East Prussia wasn’t in good condition either.

“This is not good. Let’s fire!”

Maybe they had learned something from the Russian revolutionaries; the German Communists who followed to East Prussia blew up the carriage carrying the royalty. All of Wilhelm II’s children, except for Viktoria Luise, perished.

However, even though the German Communist Party had taken control of Germany, it was not complete.

There were still the right-wing Free Corps loyal to the Kaiser, and those who, though they disliked the Kaiser, also disliked the Communist Party, remaining everywhere. They did not recognize the Communist regime.

“Rosa Luxemburg. Isn’t that damned bitch a Jew?”

“Jewish-Bolshevism is science!”

With terror from the Free Corps targeting Jews and the German Communist Party nationwide, many Jews began to flee to other countries to escape the terror.

Surrounding countries wary of the Jew-Red connection. They couldn’t go to England, France, or Austria, and most moved to the Russian Republic, which was recently offering benefits to Jews and technicians due to the civil war.

Among them were Einstein and Fritz Haber.

And then.

“Our Great Russian Republic warmly welcomes you.”

Embracing Jews with a pro-Jewish policy, the famous Saint of Russia greeted them with a smile.

Will Japan really believe what I say?

Even if they do, they probably won’t be able to act on it, but maybe my words will sound like nonsense to them.

Of course, there is no way they would believe it.

If I suddenly said that a disaster will strike somewhere in their land, they would definitely scoff at me.

That was just lip service anyway.

Well, that being said, the problem isn’t Japan.

“God, save the Tsar!”

“O descendants of great Rome! Rise again in Constantinople!”

“Long live Tsarina Anastasia! Long live the Great Russian Republic!”

I am in the middle of my coronation.

With the crown of Rome atop my head, I have boldly taken the throne of the Emperor of Eastern Rome and the Tsar of Russia among the Russian White Army, royal family, and nobles.

This coronation is different from the usual Tsar coronations.

In Constantinople, the red backdrop with golden double-headed eagles fluttered majestically alongside the yellow background with the Russian-style double-headed eagle, while I confidently ascended to the throne of Tsar-Tsarina, which had been abruptly interrupted since Nicholas II.

The Russian Orthodox Church also fulfilled its duty of being the Orthodox Church that was almost severed due to the Soviet Union, assisting in my coronation.

Unlike Nicholas II, I am supported by a strong White Army military as the war empress. I also inherit the legitimacy of the Eastern Roman Empire.

And then.

Immediately after the coronation, I changed into military uniform.

This dress is such a hassle.

“Hm, it seems Her Majesty likes military uniforms.”

“Dresses are somewhat uncomfortable.”

I sighed, shaking my head at the teasing Baron Beria.

I even remodeled Princess Luise of Germany’s military uniform, with Russian imperial military trousers underneath.

The dress that draped and flowed down on me didn’t sit well at all.

Honestly, I came to Constantinople because it felt bothersome in the first place.

Now, this city, also known as Tsarigrad, was shedding its Turkic influences and transforming into Greek and Russian styles.

The ambassadors from various countries also openly showered me with blessings.

The British ambassador offended me by mentioning “the Red Empress.” However, I dismissed it, considering them ignorant pirates unfamiliar with Russian circumstances.

France secretly requested me to suppress the German Communist Party, but to manage the vastness of Russia, I can’t assist those frog people.

The Greek officials were fuming.

Even if I claim to inherit the legitimacy of the Eastern Roman Emperor, this place is too lowly to be my capital, so I planned to stay here for a while before returning to Moscow.

Thinking of the vast territories of Russia feels like taking a trip I never got to experience in my previous life many times over.

I really wonder what I would have done without the railroads.

“Your Tsarina has something to inform you.”

Boris Savinkov, who is now in charge of the Interior Ministry and the Okhrana, was glancing at me as if he wanted to say something.

“What is it?”

“It might be bad news, but it seems the civil war that erupted in Germany has now fully swung in favor of the revolutionaries.”

In the end, the Kaiser faction was losing in the German civil war, leading to the revolution’s success.

So, what will happen to Nazi Germany now?

What will become of Corporal Adolf Hitler?

What about the future where Martyr Adolf kills Hitler?

I even awarded medals through German officers for the sake of Martyr Adolf.

I had envisioned the picture where we would vigorously prepare defenses against German invasion and then thoroughly defeat the German army in an epic showdown.

But reality is always different, isn’t it?

Even so, the current Russia can be seen as the enemy of the revolution, can’t it?

Even if the German Communist Party maintained some distance from Lenin.

Now they seemed to be implementing a major reform that vaguely looked like socialism.

If this reform succeeds, the Communist Party would lose its reason for existence, and the communist revolution itself would be curtailed.

The Communist Germany would prepare for war, even for ideological victories.

Those German folks made me postpone the coronation briefly and gave me another urgent meeting item.

Can’t the Duma handle things themselves?

I just want to play around while approving things from above.

Becoming a master of signing documents is my dream.

Anton Denikin was still diligently adorning Constantinople.

Thanks to that, famous personalities like Fritz Haber and Einstein had come to Russia.

No matter what, Einstein is a jackpot.

I could just implement reforms and, at a suitable time, have them secretly conduct nuclear research in Siberia.

Since they came over due to the preferential treatment for Jews and technicians, they would surely work hard.

Once we develop nuclear weapons, even if they push us into war, we can just seize air superiority and obliterate Berlin or Paris with a nuke.

“The German Revolution happened in an instant.”

Well, that makes sense.

I am aware that my survival has been rolling the snowball quite a distance.

But I never expected Rosa Luxemburg’s communist revolution to succeed.

Then again, seeing the German Empire persist and watching Lenin screw things up, I suppose they had indeed prepared well.

Still, it’s ironic. This isn’t the Weimar Republic, but the German Free Socialist Republic.

“The German Communist Party has probably been preparing for a long time, having seen Lenin’s failure. Furthermore, unlike us, who have vast territories enabling the White Army to rise, Germany is different,” I stated.

As expected, the Reds are remarkable no matter their origins.

It’s in their cockroach nature.

“Do you think the Kaiser of East Prussia can reclaim the mainland?”

I cautiously asked Pyotr Wrangel.

Could the Kaiser truly have the ability to reclaim the homeland?

If so, that would imply a prolonged civil war, but does the worn-down Germany even have the strength to initiate a second world war?

If resolving the Great Depression proves completely difficult, then war is indeed the answer.

Just look at the United States; they endured with the New Deal and then addressed the issue with a second world war.

From what I’ve heard, Rosa Luxemburg is a formidable woman. She seems to have really devoured Germany this time.

I heard she’s Jewish.

She probably won’t become the general secretary. There’s a high chance it’ll be someone named Karl.

Our soldier Adolf would be utterly horrified.

Isn’t selling weapons to the Kaiser a bit too disrespectful, given how they’re in a position that received assistance?

The key issue is whether the Kaiser can allow for a prolonged war.

“I believe it’s impossible right now. The secret of Germany’s defeat has spread uncontrollably, and the German military has reportedly split into factions. It’s immediate that people suffering from the civil war are fleeing to neighboring countries, and quite a few have even come to our Russia.”

Hmm, I suppose that might be the case. Wilhelm really messed up badly.

I doubt France would want to help Wilhelm, whom they intended to deal with themselves.

“The Junkers are also dying out in large numbers.”

“Separately, the Kaiser requested assistance from my homeland.”

How desperate must they be to ask for support from a country that has already gone through civil war?

But it’s impossible.

We cannot provide weapons to revolutionaries, yet we are able to send German-made weapons to the Kaiser’s army, which has been armed by Anton Denikin.

At least we have enough supplies here, so there’s no problem.

Any complaints? What could they do about it anyway?

If they were so upset, they should have won the civil war.
