Then the bells on the guns are ordered to be poured, then in an urgent order all of them will be “Germanized”. And when a strange creature appeared in his environment, whose skin was unusually black and his teeth were unusually white, the faith of the common people, who had long been wary of the emperor, was wary that he was actively serving the dark forces.
