What If Kaiserreich EXIST in Code Geass?

Title Idea: Code Geass x Kaiserreich: The Iron Order

Background Info:

In alternate world of Code Geass, the Holy Britannian Empire was the most powerful empire. Born from the defeated remnants of the British Empire. It was the world's dominant military superpower that ruled over one-third of the world and one of the large Empire-unions that control Earth initially in the early & mid 21st Century, thanks to the absolute monarchy and iron fist rule. However, their brutal tyranny towards the "Numbers" or slaves to the civilians was infamous for due of Emperor Charles zi Britannia's rule that "the strong is more powerful than the weak" system.

But Britannia is without its share its rivals. The European Union or Europa United & Chinese Federation were prime examples but both were corrupt & only care in politics and power which Britannia were not worried about. However, one nation remain defiant towards the empire.

That nation is Germany. Since 19th Century through early 20th Century, German states were united into one of the most powerful empire in Europe.

The Great War still happen but because America wasn't exist on that world, Germany remain strong thanks to their early advanced technology they created but the war stopped in stalemate in early 1917 a.t.b after Britannia annexed South America.

As peace and prosperity occured after the war, both Britannia & Germany competing each other to show who is the most powerful empire. Unfortunately, a Great Depression occured in 1929 a.t.b. which led numerous riots around Europe. Germany was disarray as anti monarchist/capitalist faction known as "Syndicalist" deposed Kaiser Wilhelm II and ruled the nation with anarchy & violence.

However, an Austrian-born painter and veteran from the Great War named Adolf Hitler led a faction of German resistance army known as "German Liberation Front", consist of militias and some German Army loyal to the Kaiser and launched a guerilla warfare against the Syndicalists.
(Note: In this version, Adolf Hitler was successful artist before joining to German Army during the Great War. However since the war ended in 1917 and the Kaiser wasn't abdicated, Hitler continue his successful career of his painting, married to Eva Braun and had a son named Otto. When the Syndicalists deposed the Kaiser and taken over Germany, Hitler rallied with his speech and call many people who served the Kaiser and launched a guerilla warfare.)

(German Liberation Front Flag; This faction was alternate version of Nazi Party but instead of mass murdering fanatics, they were fighting for the Kaiser & their freedom.)

After 2 and half years of fighting, the GLF finally retake the nation and restore the Kaiser back on the throne. As the nation rebuild, Hitler run for the office and elected as Chancellor of Germany(unlike his OTL counterpart, this version of him was benevolent ruler and not genocidal maniac). With his strong sense of iron will and charisma, the German Army turned into the powerhouse of war machines and decide to purge the rising Syndicalists and Communes around the Europe.

Thanks to their more resources of war materials and smart strategic decisions, the German Army managed to annexed some states including Austria while crushing the Syndicalists and Communes but when EU demanded to stop the war or threaten to declare war, Hitler saw them as "incompetent & corrupted" people and launched the invasion of France, the capital where EU was established. It started the Second Great War but after 19 days, France was fallen under Germany's boot.

As the Second Great War ends, Germany has conquered a less half of Europe including Ukraine and few Slavic states with the exception of Chinese Federation, Japan, Italy, the Nordic states like Finland and Russia. This ushered a new era of Germany with a new name: Greater German Reich.

After the war, Germany emerged as a new superpower which Britannia saw this as a new threat for world domination and both two empires remain tense and rule separately for decades.

In 2011 a.t.b. the Second Pacific War occured as Britannians invade and conquered Japan and renamed it as "Area 11". This event angered Germany as it boosted their defenses if Britannia might invade the entire Europe. Turns out, they were right as Britannia did attack Germany and the entire Europe. The colonies in Europe was conquered by Britannia as it renamed as Euro-Britannia. But Germany fought back and managed to recovered some few colonies & some massive reforms under the leadership of Kaiser Wilhelm V and a new Chancellor named Rupert von Hitler which restored the empire.

Few years later in 2017 a.t.b. as Britannia ruled half of the world, the Greater German Reich under Rupert von Hitler & the German Armed Forces were preparing for their anticipation that will change the entire course of Code Geass: the invasion of Area 11/Japan.

How will the lives of Lelouch vi Britannia, C.C., Suzaku Kururugi, Kallen Kozuki and others will affected when a new empire declared war on the Holy Britannian Empire?

My Thoughts:

I read some Code Geass fanfics involved American colonists under Washington survived the failure of American Revolution with the help of the alien and transported to extraterrestrial world where they created their own nation and preparing a war against Holy Britannian Empire.

This one is different because instead of American from extraterrestrial world fighting Britannia, how about another nation also had an empire of its own? That nation is Germany and its empire is quite similar from Kaiserreich game.

I would love to see two empires clashing and fighting each other to see who is the most powerful and dominating empire of the world with different ideologies. One empire with absolute monarchy and tyrannical iron fist and the other was imperial yet benevolent rule with a strong sense of iron will for the nation and its people.
