Assume this scenario:in 198 WW1 ends with a negotiated peace: long story short Germany loses it's coolonies, Alsace-Lorraine to France, Eupen-Malmèdy to belgium, and nothing else, no reparations, no armament limits etc etc., while keeping Brest-Litovsk gains
Now assume that due to a more violent 1918 revolution (the war lasted slightly longer, due to Spring offensives having more success, and ensuing negotiations taking time and forcing the germans to keep troops at the front), chaos spreads in germany to teh poinjt that William II has to abdicate.
When the Bavarian Socialist Republic is declared, austrian landwehr troops move in a ìnd crush the republic; in the mean time, troops coming back from the front crush the rebellion, but the Hohenzollernare by ow deiscredited to the public for having spilled so much german blood, while gainipng "nothing" (do not assume public opinion to understand the subtle advantages of a very favourable peace in the east), and cedeing holy A-L when "German troops where at the outskirts of Paris" (this would be the public's perceprion after a somewhat succesful spring offensive forcing the western allies to the negotiating table).
In such a scenario Karl von habsburg is offered the german crown, wich he gladly accepts, leaving it's crumbling danubian empire, to well...crumble).
So, after the war you have an habsburg dominated Germany, with OTL borders to the west; to the east they gain Bohemia, wich is not allowed indipendence Karl will award posenland and the Danzig corridor (but not Danzig, nor High Silesia, eg. Kattowitz) to newly formed (and Habsburg-ruled) Poland (he would do this to weaken Prussia's position in the union, while also stripping Prussia of Silesia, Rheinland, Westphalen, and recreating Hannover). To the south Germany will keep Carniola (wich is current days Slovenia) and South Tyrol, while awarding Italy Trentino, Triest and Istria
Now, also please assume, that Karl leaves tyhe german general staff widely untoiched, recognizing it's quality as opposed to the austrian one.
Finally assume the following:
A) In Russia White forces win their war with the Bolsheviks, or at east win so much as to force them to negotiate; in the end a constitutional monarchy is restored wutgh Kyrill Romanov as the new Tsar, but real power to a moderate conservative, strongly isolationist dominated-Duma.
B) in order to appease Russia, Germany lets it regain Ukraine and Belarus (Poland's estern border ITTL is that of the historical Kingdom of Poland, not that of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth)
C) German buffer zone to the east is therefore composed of Poland, Lithania, and the United Baltic Duchy (wich is formed as per OTL plans)
D) Serbia is awarded Bosnia and hungarian Vojvodina; Huingary is crushed by the combined forces of Romania, what remains of serbian forces and Slovakian partisans. germnay oes not move ine fingers, and ties friednly relations with Slovakia. Hungary retains small particles of territory in Slovakia (those who were awarded after Münich, OTL). Croatia is indipendent and strongly Habsburg-friendly. Bulgaria relinquishes control of Macedonia, and Thrace, but gains Dobrudja from Romania, wich in turn gets all of Transylvania and Bessarabia.
E) without german reparations, and deeply indebted with the USA, British finances are in deep trouble, while French ones are on the brink of bankruptcy; also both countries (but mainly France) show signs of internal unrest. All of this will negatively impact post-war modernization and expansion of the armed forces of both countries (especially France, but also the UK), as well as number, training, and overall quality of soldiers in all services
F) Concernig anything else, assume OTL.

Now you are the german leadership; the year is 1923; post-war situation has stabilized; how do you move, diplomatically? What are you militray choices on the strategical and tactical level? Long story short...what do you do? How do you manage the nation?
(Ps bonus points if you get a WW2 of some kind)
You are only forbidden to have a second socialist revolution in Russia
