Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Dust Settles (Ask for Collection)

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, what do you think about the selection of the new crown prince?" Wilhelm II looked at Chancellor Bernhardt? Feng? Birlo. The attitude of the www.biquge.info military was so sharp that Wilhelm II needed to listen to the opinion of the civilian faction.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Oscar is undoubtedly a very good candidate for excellent ability and good conduct. But unfortunately, he is too far down in the rankings. If Prince Oscar is allowed to be the new crown prince, I am afraid that it will cause opposition from many people. Of course, everything depends on the meaning of His Majesty. If His Majesty decides that Prince Oscar will be the crown prince, even if there is opposition, it will not have much impact. Prime Minister Bilow said.

There is no difference between what Prime Minister Bilo said and what he didn't. He undoubtedly meant only one thing, and that was that the attitude of Wilhelm II was very important on this issue. As long as Wilhelm II decided, the opinions of others simply did not matter.

"Your Excellency, what is your attitude?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Your Majesty, our international environment is very bad right now. Britain, France, and Russia have come closer and closer, and have even formed a de facto military alliance. In such an external environment, if there is a dispute over our succession to the throne, it will inevitably cause their interference. They will even use this to accuse us and further smear us internationally. "Feng? Kidren? Vahit was a little worried.

"Humph! The succession to the throne of the empire has nothing to do with other countries. What the empire should do, it is not their turn to have their say. Wilhelm II snorted coldly. The succession to the throne belongs to the internal affairs of one country and has nothing to do with other countries. As a very powerful monarch, Wilhelm II naturally did not want the internal affairs of the country to be interfered with by other countries.

Feng? Kidren? Vahit nodded, and said no more. He had already expressed his opinion, and as for how to choose, it was not for him to decide.

Wilhelm II's brows furrowed tightly, and now the focus of the question was on whether the confirmation of Qin Tian as the crown prince would violate the law of succession to the throne and cause large-scale dissatisfaction. However, if other princes were chosen as crown princes, their abilities were very limited, and Wilhelm II did not think that they were capable of being good crown princes. The situation in Germany is not good. Therefore, the crown prince of the empire must be a capable person. This point, Wilhelm II is more agreeable.

How to choose, this made Wilhelm II a little undecided.

Marshal Count Tirpitz couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw such a situation. Originally, he thought that letting Qin Tian be the crown prince should be a sure thing. As long as these important ministers of the empire are not caught in the door, they will not object. But who knows, because of Moltke's troubles, the focus of the contradiction has been successfully shifted to the law of succession to the throne. He had promised Qin Tian that there would be no problem in making Qin Tian the crown prince of the empire! If he doesn't succeed, won't that make him lose his trust?

"Damn little Moltke, this old guy is so shameless to ignore the general interests of the country for his own selfish interests!" Marshal Tirpitz was furious.

"Your Majesty, I still think that Prince Oscar is the most suitable person. The most important task for the Empire at present is to win future wars. Therefore, we need a crown prince with excellent ability. Future wars are a matter of life and death for the empire, and we must do our best in all aspects. Marshal Tirpitz continued.

"Humph! Tirpitz, the old guy, seems to be determined to put that kid Oscar in the position of crown prince. However, I refused to let him get his wish. Moltke sneered in his heart.

As Moltke was about to speak, another man preemptively spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister also believes that Prince Oscar is the best candidate for the crown prince. Although Prince Oscar is relatively low in the rankings, these are extraordinary times, and we must think about it for the sake of the Empire. In the event of a war in the future, the affairs of the empire will be very large, and His Majesty needs a competent crown prince to assist. Among the many princes, there is no one more suitable than Prince Oscar. Even if the law of succession is violated because of this, it is worth it as long as the empire can win the war in the future. What's more, with Prince Oscar's prestige in the Empire, I'm afraid there are very few people who oppose him becoming the crown prince! ”

The person who spoke was none other than the Minister of War Feng? Falkenhein.

In the army system, Moltke Jr. was the first person to be the leader. But, von? Falkenhain is the second army boss after Moltke Jr. Unlike Marshal Count Tirpitz in the navy, Moltke Jr. and von Pitz Jr. Falkenhein, in order to compete for power, is often very unpleasant. Moltke relied on the trust of Wilhelm II and kept pressing von? Falkenhayin at one end. And this also makes Feng? Falkenhain always wanted to drive Moltke Jr. down, and it was better to replace Moltke Jr. as Chief of the General Staff. In this way, he would be able to establish himself as the first man in the army, like Marshal of Count Tirpitz.

Now, the change of the crown prince has made Feng? Falkenhayn saw an opportunity. Moltke Jr. and Crown Prince William were close, but now Crown Prince William is in a vegetative state. If Qin Tian can become the crown prince, with the relationship between Qin Tian and Little Moltke, Little Moltke will definitely have no way to sit firmly in the position of Chief of General Staff. And this, it was also given to Feng? A great opportunity for Falkenhein.

So, at this time, Feng? Falkenhayne made a quick decision and showed his support for Qin Tian.

Little Moltke looked at Feng with an angry face? Falken Hain, he had no idea that he would be stabbed in the back at this time. When he had argued with Marshal Count Tirpitz before, he thought he was representing the opinion of the entire army. But now, there is infighting within the army. This greatly reduced the weight of his words.

Marshal Count Tirpitz couldn't help but laugh when he saw such a situation. He knew that the scales of victory had begun to tip in his favor. Wilhelm II's attitude will change as a result.

Sure enough, Feng? Falkenhein's statement was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Wilhelm II quickly made up his mind. Now, for the sake of the Empire, certain changes must be made.
