Oh you know his jailors are going to straight jacket him and wheel in a TV to show him the wedding. Not a good idea by any stretch of the imagination, but the name of this story isn't "Rational outcomes and logical solutions" now is it?

Considering the main industries of the North, even with Dev and autarky, and barring any other butterflies, you are talking about a loss of viability in the north by the mid 60's at the earliest, early 80's at the latest.

A promotion upon retirement within the Luftwaffe to "Marshall of the Air Forces, retired, von Preußen". What with him having served as the Commander in Chief of all German forces, he'd be entitled to it, would be a way to keep the military happy and cut through and issues of security/protocol...

I had a hope it was a case of "unreliable witness" going on in that Ritchie wouldn't have been privy to whole details. Glad to know my hope wasn't misplaced.

....please not the "tank fuelled by gasoline goes up like a zippo" urban legend bs thank you. Assuming the Buford is either a Sherman analogue, or something later, that's a fallacy that needs to die.

That falls under the category of "worse than OTL ideas" though a bit I'd think.

A British Victory in the War of Independence would, best case scenario, just push the issue down the line for a few decades before it kicks off all over again. Worst case scenario it would turn the UK into an international pariah in the world as to keep Ireland, it would have to finally be rid...

I mean, Russia at this time is practically begging for a whole bunch of cults to pop up. I don't want to go too deep into it, lest I wind up turning this whole thing into a discussion of cults, but Russia right now ITTL is in a period of great economic growth coupled with a generation starting...

That is pretty much the rule, though Romania seriously considered the idea after the fall of communism, however the previous monarch was a) still alive and b) very personally popular.

By that metric, France too (well, the first time anyway) as it was a case of them wanting the King to be more like the British King, and then he wouldn't, and then Madame Guillotine got involved....

He's dead as of a couple of years back in story. Lung Cancer IIRC. Besides, even drunk, I don't think they'd nominate Kat. There is many dumb things a person can do while drunk, but for the type of people the Electors are, they'd need to be drunk to the point of invalidity to even conceive of...

Honestly if they wind up married before Ben and Kiki I think Louis (Kaiser) will just order his daughter married like it's Crusader Kings: the LARP

It seems to me at this point that the security details for the Kaiser's children is just one man, let's name him Hubert, who cycles through a various collection of disguises to give the appearance of multiple people while collecting the pay checks for multiple people all the while simply sitting...

I see no-one learned their lessons about the last time the heir to the German throne was allowed to an active warzone then....

https://archiveofourown.org/works/26630110?view_full_work=true. Ao3 link for Climbing the Ladder. First Ten chapters are up there, will do up batches of ten at a time till I have them all up on Sunday

I have created an Ao3 account. Will be posting Climbing the Ladder up there eventually. BIDSG will not be going up there. Will post a link here once it is up.

Truly, the wisest Mischner of all that one.

I mean, this is Hungary '56 levels. Just because we "know" Germany is in the right, doesn't make this any less of an international PR clusterfuck. Expect the next major US election to involve a lot of questions about why the administration didn't take a hard line against Germany. Hell, I'd...

Also Russia. Never forget, historical grievances go out the window when there is cash to be made.

I'm picturing a 6 foot 4 inches tall chiseled beast of a man who just looks naturally evil, but is not only current but very capable at Gynecology now working under Kiki. I love it. A bonus point if he's gay as well honestly.
