Chapter 66: Taking a Desperate Approach (Seeking Collection)
Tirpitz shook his head: "This time, it wasn't necessarily Prince William who instructed Moltke Jr. to do this, and he didn't have the ability to do it." www.biquge.info But Moltke Jr. and Crown Prince Wilhelm are known to have a close relationship. And now you have posed a huge threat to the position of Crown Prince William. Whether you admit it or not, it's true. At least, that's what Crown Prince William thinks. So, in the future, Crown Prince William will definitely continue to find trouble for you. ”
Qin Tian nodded, and it didn't surprise him that Crown Prince William was targeting him. He had expected this for a long time. However, Moltke's attitude would be so obvious, which was somewhat unexpected to him.
"Your Royal Highness, I have news for you. His Majesty has complained more than once that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too paranoid, too narrow-minded, and too limited in his abilities, and I am afraid that he will not be able to rule the empire well. Tirpitz said.
"Is the problem so serious?" Qin Tian couldn't help but be stunned. Although, he already knew that Wilhelm II was increasingly dissatisfied with what Crown Prince Wilhelm had done. But I did not expect that Wilhelm II would complain like this. This undoubtedly shows that Wilhelm II's patience with Crown Prince Wilhelm has almost reached its limit. Otherwise, with the degree of favor that Wilhelm II has for the eldest son, Crown Prince Wilhelm, this will never happen.
"Your Royal Highness, the reason why this is the case, you are indispensable!" Tirpitz lamented.
"Your Excellency, what does this mean?" Qin Tian deliberately pretended to be stupid. Even if he was full of desire for the throne, he would never admit it until the dust settled. Otherwise, not only will there be no hope for the throne, but you may also suffer a catastrophe.
"Because His Royal Highness the Prince has performed too well, too dazzling. And this is in stark contrast to Crown Prince William. Crown Prince William only knows that by virtue of his status and identity, he dictates and meddles in state affairs. But in reality, nothing can be done. It's hard to imagine what kind of development direction such a person will lead the empire to once he becomes the emperor of the empire. Marshal Tirpitz shook his head.
Regarding Tirpitz's opinion of Crown Prince William, Qin Tian deeply agreed. Of course, on the surface, it can't really be recognized.
"Your Excellency, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's character is indeed too eager to get things done, which makes him unable to succeed in many issues." Qin Tian said.
Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded: "Your Royal Highness, if Your Majesty is willing to make you the prince, what will you do?" ”
"Your Excellency, the laws of the Empire will not allow such a thing to happen." Qin Tian shook his head. This is perhaps the biggest difference between the East and the West, the prince of the Eastern Empire is completely decided by the emperor. In Western countries, it is according to the law. The law of succession to the throne is not a decoration.
"It's true that such a situation is very unlikely. However, in the end, it will depend on the will of His Majesty the Emperor. If His Majesty the Emperor is determined to replace the crown prince, then everything is possible. If there really is such a day, the Navy will fully support His Highness. Because I firmly believe that only His Highness can lead the navy and lead the German Empire to a glorious victory. Marshal Count Tirpitz said with a solemn face.
The expression on Qin Tian's face also became serious, he knew that Marshal Count Tirpitz was showing his attitude. Unless Crown Prince Wilhelm does not have problems, once Wilhelm II wants to change the crown prince, he can get the support of the navy.
"Your Excellency, you say that you don't want to be the crown prince, that's impossible. However, I know it's very difficult. So, the most important thing right now is to do our own thing. Leave the rest to God! If I had that chance, I'd certainly do it. Qin Tian said.
Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded and said no more.
When Qin Tian and Marshal Count Tirpitz returned to Berlin, Moltke Jr., the chief of the General Staff, went straight to Potsdam. On a farm outside Potsdam, Moltke the Younger met Crown Prince Wilhelm. Is this farm house Mecklenburg? The estate of the Grand Duke of Schwerin. After the marriage of Crown Prince William and Cecilia, the farm was assigned to Cecilia's name.
"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, you are here. Sit down and try this glass of the estate's own wine. Although it is not as good as the red wine produced by the old wineries of Bordeaux, France, it has the same flavor. Crown Prince William smiled.
Seeing Crown Prince William's appearance, Moltke couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, and at the same time had some doubts about whether it was right or wrong for him to choose to support Crown Prince William. This crown prince is dedicated to pleasure, although he is ambitious, but he is ambitious and talented. Except for the slight advantage of having the eldest son of the royal family, there is no way to compare with Prince Oscar in other places. In this comparison, Prince Oscar is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the crown prince.
It's just that Moltke knows that he has no way to get off the ship. In the case that he had already offended Qin Tian, even if he wanted to change his position, he might not be able to be reused. And for someone like Moltke Jr., once he loses power, it makes him more uncomfortable than killing him. Therefore, for the sake of his position and the power in his hands, he has no choice but to support Crown Prince William.
"Your Royal Highness, are you still in the mood to drink? The situation is very bad now. His Royal Highness Prince Oscar decided to donate motorcycles worth 50 million marks to the army, which greatly satisfied the generals of the army, and their attitude towards Prince Oscar also changed very much. If Prince Oscar increases his investment in the Army, I'm afraid those guys will soon fall to him. Plus the navy, which has completely fallen to Prince Oscar. Then, His Highness has no chance of winning at all. Little Moltke said with a serious face.
"What? How so! Damn, what the hell is Oscar doing here? The navy was wooed, and the army was tried to woo the army. Crown Prince William was furious. The smile on his face has disappeared cleanly, replaced by a hideous face.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the current situation is already very critical, if you continue like this, you will directly give up the throne to Prince Oscar!" After Moltke said this, he turned and left.
"Bastard!" Crown Prince William was furious, and the bottle in his hand fell to the ground, shattering. The scarlet liquor stained the floor red.
"Oscar, you found death by yourself, you forced me, don't blame me!" Crown Prince William drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
