On December 26, just after Christmas, a royal council on the future of Germany was held in the office of Wilhelm II. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe senior military and political officials of Germany* who attended the meeting all had serious faces.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the misfortune that just happened to Crown Prince William must have been known to everyone. The Royal Hospital has already diagnosed it, and it may be difficult for Crown Prince William to wake up again. A trace of sadness flashed in Wilhelm II's eyes.

"Oh God! Poor His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "Prime Minister Bernhardt? Feng? Bilo couldn't help but say.

The other ministers also nodded their heads one after another. Indeed, there is probably no more pitiful crown prince in the world than Crown Prince William, right? The heir of such a powerful empire has become a vegetative person, and the rest of his life can only be spent in bed or in a wheelchair. It's pitiful to think about.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that everything is God's will. God will bless this poor boy Prince. Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

The ministers all looked at Wilhelm II, waiting for his next words. As we all know, determining the next crown prince is the most important topic of today's meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at a time when Crown Prince William is no longer able to fulfill his responsibilities as crown prince, the empire needs a new crown prince. According to the law of succession to the throne, the second in line to the throne, Etel? Prince Friedrich was supposed to become the new crown prince. Do you have any comments on this? Wilhelm II asked.

"Your Majesty, it is very sad that such a tragedy has happened to Crown Prince William. However, I do not think that Prince Friedrich is a suitable person. The crown prince of the empire needs to have outstanding personal ability and excellent character. In my opinion, Prince Oscar is the most suitable person. "Marshal Count Tirpitz was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

The ministers all nodded subconsciously, if you want to let them be in Etelle? If there was a choice between Prince Friedrich and Qin Tian, there was no doubt that Qin Tiancai would be the best choice. After all, as important ministers of the empire, they all hope that the future of the empire will be better. And this, it is necessary to choose an excellent heir for the empire. And not an incompetent person.

Of course, there is no dissenting opinion among the ministers. For example, Moltke, the chief of the General Staff, did not think that Qin Tian was a suitable candidate. After all, from his own standpoint, a strong imperial successor will make the power in his hands extremely restricted. What's more, he had already offended Qin Tian, so he didn't want Qin Tian to come to power even more.

If it's Etter? If Prince Friedrich becomes the Crown Prince of the Reich and becomes the Reich Emperor in the future, it will undoubtedly be better controlled. After all, Etel who doesn't have much ability? If Prince Friedrich wants to secure his position, he must have his support.

"Your Excellency Tirpitz, I cannot agree with this statement. Prince Oscar's abilities are outstanding, very good, and I don't disagree with that. However, we have to admit that according to the law of succession to the throne, Prince Oscar is in fifth place, in front of Etter? In addition to Prince Friedrich, there was also Prince Adalbert, August? Prince William. If Prince Oscar becomes the crown prince, wouldn't that be tantamount to trampling on the law of succession to the throne? In the future, what criteria should be used to determine the heir of the empire, everything will be chaotic. Therefore, I firmly oppose the succession of Prince Oscar to the crown prince, and it should be in accordance with the law of succession to the throne, by Eiter? Prince Friedrich came to succeed him as crown prince. Moltke, the chief of the General Staff, jumped out and clearly expressed his opposition to Qin Tian's succession as the crown prince.

However, I have to admit that what Moltke said is also very reasonable. The German character is inherently very rigid and rigid. They have always strictly followed the law. It is undoubtedly very difficult to get them to trample on the law.

Even Wilhelm II couldn't help but nod. He also had some doubts about wanting to establish Qin Tian as the crown prince in his heart. Is this a good thing for Germany?

"Damn, little Moltke, this old fellow, is clearly for his own selfish interests and ignores the interests of the empire!" Marshal Count Tirpitz couldn't help but curse in his heart.

What kind of man Moltke the little was, Marshal Tirpitz knew very well. He also knew that Qin Tian didn't like Moltke Jr. Under such circumstances, in order to ensure his power, Moltke would naturally do his best to prevent Qin Tian from ascending to the throne.

"It is true that the law of succession to the throne cannot be trampled on in pieces. But now the Reich was about to face a huge war, and the future of Germany was at stake. We must choose an outstanding heir for the empire. In this way, the future will ensure that the Empire will be able to win in war. Marshal Count Tirpitz insisted.

"Your Excellency Tirpitz, Prince Oscar has indeed provided a lot of support to the Navy. But you can't trample on the laws of the empire because of that. I do not deny that Prince Oscar is a very distinguished prince. However, he is only 18 years old now. What the future holds, no one can say. What's more, even if Prince Oscar is not able to become the crown prince, with his ability, he can still support the construction and development of the empire's military strength. Moltke retorted.

Although, little Moltke knew that his statement would soon reach Qin Tian's ears. And by doing so, he would undoubtedly offend Qin Tian to death. However, now he is already difficult to ride a tiger. For the sake of his position and power, he had to do it.

Wilhelm II frowned, he didn't expect that Tirpitz and Moltke Jr. would have such a big reaction to Qin Tian's succession as crown prince. Originally, he thought that with Qin Tian's ability, these ministers would easily pass. But now it seems that things are a little bit unexpected! You know, these two are his trusted courtiers. The completely different attitudes of the two also made him have some more questions in his heart.

"Little Moltke, don't think I don't know what you think. You yourself have offended Prince Oscar, and you are afraid that after he becomes the crown prince, your post of chief of staff will not be guaranteed. Marshal Count Tirpitz said.

"Tirpitz, you're talking nonsense. When did I offend Prince Oscar? Even if there were, it would be for the good of the Empire. I don't think Prince Oscar would be so disregarded for the interests of the Empire. Little Moltke was a little annoyed.

"Okay, both of you should refrain from doing so, today's meeting is for everyone to express their opinions on the crown prince, not to mention anything else." Wilhelm II said with some dissatisfaction.
