Chapter 539: Moltke's Choice (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Your Royal Highness, you ...... How did you end up here? Little Moltke's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Didn't Crown Prince William become vegetative because he fell from his horse? It was precisely because of that that that Qin Tiancai took this opportunity to overtake several other princes and become the new crown prince. Although, at the beginning, Qin Tian was just the acting crown prince. However, in the position of the crown prince, Qin Tian's performance is undoubtedly obvious to all. This made the code on Qin Tian's head finally removed and became the real crown prince.
Now, Qin Tian's status in Germany is even more prosperous. In such a situation, who can fight him?
However, the sudden appearance of Crown Prince William made the whole incident change a little. After all, Wilhelm II promised that once Crown Prince William woke up, then Qin Tian would have to return the position of crown prince to Crown Prince William.
It's just that at the time, everyone thought that this was just a pretext. No one is really willing to give back the power they have acquired. In addition, everyone does not think that Crown Prince William, who has become a vegetative person, can wake up so easily. Otherwise, Wilhelm II would not have changed the crown prince. But now, everything seems to be different. Crown Prince William actually woke up.
"Good evening, Your Excellency the Count!" A smile appeared on Crown Prince William's face.
Due to his perennial bedridden, Crown Prince William's appearance has changed dramatically. The original Crown Prince William was personable, handsome and dashing. But now, because they look too thin, some of them look old.
"Your Highness, I really didn't expect you to wake up." Moltke Jr. sighed.
Indeed, being able to wake up from a vegetative state is already a medical miracle. At least, in Moltke's opinion, it was too lucky.
Crown Prince William nodded: "Actually, I woke up half a month ago. It's just that the situation is worse than it is now. Now, I'm recovering little by little. My legs are slowly becoming more numerous, and in a few months, I will be able to recover like a normal person. β
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Moltke Jr. was sincerely happy that Crown Prince William was able to wake up. After all, he used to have a very close relationship with Crown Prince William.
Crown Prince William smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that everything has changed in the years I have been asleep. My crown prince has been lost. β
Moltke opened his mouth to comfort him, but found that he could not say anything. After all, he also believes that Crown Prince William's position as crown prince may not be taken back.
"Your Highness, does Your Majesty know about your awakening?" Moltke asked.
"Father is very busy now, busy with the hegemony he is about to achieve, where will he care about my son who has become a waste? Besides, hasn't he already found an even more illustrious son? Oscar, my dear brother, has not he become the crown prince of the empire now? Crown Prince William looked sarcastic. In his words, there was a strong unwillingness. Obviously, he is very unwilling to lose the crown prince.
Moltke can understand this. After all, such a large empire, especially one that is about to become the hegemon of the world, does not belong to him anymore. Anyone will definitely be very unwilling to do this.
"Your Highness, there is no way around it. God forbid that you have been able to wake up. Moltke said.
Moltke Jr. vaguely felt why Crown Prince Wilhelm did not tell Wilhelm II the news after he woke up. Obviously, he was unwilling to lose the position of crown prince and wanted to get back his position. Moreover, Crown Prince William apparently hoped that he could help him, which put Moltke Jr. in a difficult situation.
Moltke Jr. still believes that even if Crown Prince William staged a coup d'Γ©tat, the chances of success were very small. But if it can be successful, then Crown Prince Wilhelm can not only become the crown prince, but even go one step further and directly become the emperor. When the time comes, those who support him will reap great benefits. Not only could he be reinstated to the post of Chief of the General Staff, but he would even be able to receive other benefits. This is undoubtedly very tempting for Moltke Jr.
Of course, Moltke was also worried that if he failed, the consequences would be unimaginable. If you don't do it, even your life will be threatened.
"Your Excellency, I hope to be able to get back what belongs to me. So, I hope you can help me. I guarantee that once I succeed, you will be appointed Minister of the Imperial Army and Chief of the General Staff. At the same time, your knighthood will be promoted to duke. I will divide for you a dukedom in those newly occupied territories in Germany, which will be passed down from generation to generation by the Moltke family. "Crown Prince William has made a condition.
Crown Prince William knew very well that the current Qin Tian was no longer something he could compare. If you want to move Qin Tian, it is undoubtedly very difficult. His previous strengths had already collapsed during the time he was in a coma and slumber. Therefore, if he wants to succeed in getting back what belongs to him, he must get more support.
The current Qin Tian, within the empire, is in full swing. Especially in the military, it is full of supporters. The Imperial Navy has completely become Qin Tian's supporter. Among the Imperial Army, nearly half of the troops were directly controlled by Qin Tian. Several other legions were also affected by Qin Tian.
It can be said that it is almost impossible for Crown Prince William to take back his position as crown prince in a righteous and bright manner, and it is precisely for this reason that he demanded that the news of his awakening be kept strictly secret, and even Wilhelm II will not be told.
Crown Prince William knew that his father, who originally loved him, had changed his mind. If Wilhelm II had known that he had awakened, he would never have had a chance to reclaim his crown princeship. Even, Wilhelm II, in turn, would have placed him under house arrest. Qin Tian's performance had already made Wilhelm II believe that Qin Tiancai was the most suitable candidate for the crown prince. Therefore, if he wants to get back his position as crown prince, he can only make dangerous moves.
Moltke Jr. was still thinking, but Crown Prince William didn't rush. He knew that it would be difficult for Moltke Jr. to make a choice.
It was only after a while that Moltke made his decision. In the end, it was his selfishness that triumphed over reason.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the position of the Imperial Crown Prince was originally yours, and I will do my best to help you!" Little Moltke said solemnly.
