Federal Chancellor Walter Albert was in trouble. India had decided to fund rebels in Cabo Verde and thus a civil war had ensued. As part of the second Cold War that was developing between the west and the Hindu-nationalist India, he had sent troops to the islands. They had failed miserably and The rebels had taken another island. At the same time another civil war had broken out in Nigeria, further putting strain on the German government. The SPD had continued to bleed seats under Albert's chancellorship, only Wilhelm Bernadotte's continued activism for the party had kept them in charge.A general election was coming next year and The SPD was behind, the CDU was leading and everyone expected them to win. As long as both civil wars dragged on, the worse the government looked. Walter knew he had to do something, so he took an unexpected step. He decided to address the Bundestag, "The chair presents Federal Chancellor Albert". Walter Albert stood "I am here to announce my resignation as Federal Chancellor, I endorse Wilhelm Bernadotte, my predecessor to succeed me".

Wille is standing in the Bundestag in disbelief, he cannot believe what he has heard. Walter Albert summons him to his office and says "You need to do it Wille", Wille says "I don't want to be Chancellor again". Albert responds "This is not about want or Want not, this is about what's best for the party, and what's best for the country!" Wille responds "Fine, I'll do it". He joins his son Erik who is now also a delegate of the Bundestag and his son's boyfriend Carl who is Governing Mayor of Berlin. "Did you see the news" says Wille, "Yes" says the two of them. Erik says "did you accept?" Wille sighs "reluctantly, the vote for the new Federal Chancellor is tomorrow, I am favored to win it". Carl asks "have you begun to plan your cabinet?". "Yes" says Wille, and he pulls out a sheet of paper and says "as we have a small absolute majority still, we can have an all SPD government" and he opens the sheet of paper, it says:
5th Bernadotte Cabinet:
Federal Chancellor: Wilhelm Bernadotte
Vice Chancellor: Simon Eriksson
Minister of Defense: Johannes Korn
Foreign Minister: Erik Bernadotte
Interior Minister: Angela Cello
Economic Minister: Joseph Meyer
And more are on the list....
Erik says "I'm going to be foreign minister, dad!" Wille responds "you did graduate top of your class in foreign relations".
