The spirit of the picture is ironical, but it throws a light on Bernhardi's reading of the signs of the times in Ireland.

To Bernhardi a nation is not a means to an end, a necessary organ of universal humanity, and therefore subordinate to humanity.

Refusing to be a party to the job, Bernhardi secures the election to the post of a man who is both competent and a Jew.

Bernhardi serves his term and becomes, much to his disgust, a political hero and a popular martyr.

Bernhardi even said that he doubted if the troops could face a European army.
