Chapter 81: Taking Office (Asking for Collection)
"Your Highness, congratulations. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "When Qin Tian returned to his residence in Berlin, the Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Count Tirpitz was still waiting here. It can be seen that he is very happy.
"Your Excellency, thank you for your help. Without your help, I would not have succeeded. Qin Tian looked very humble.
"Your Highness, to help you is to help the Imperial German Navy, to help the German Empire. I've always been convinced of this. I believe that you will become an outstanding monarch and lead the German Empire to victory in future wars. "Marshal Count Tirpitz is very confident in his vision.
"Your Excellency, I will do my best to lead the German Empire to victory in the future war." Qin Tian said solemnly. Now that he has become the acting crown prince of Germany, then he has no reason to save his strength. His fate was tied to Germany. If Germany had lost the war, he would have been worthless, or even a small life. Therefore, for his own sake and for the sake of the German Empire, he must do his best in the future war.
Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is still seeing you so late, has it already decided to appoint you as the crown prince?" ”
Qin Tian smiled helplessly, and then said, "Your Majesty has decided to appoint me as the acting crown prince!" ”
"Acting Crown Prince?" Marshal Count Tirpitz was also stunned, he didn't expect Wilhelm II to make such a decision. Since it was decided to make Qin Tian the crown prince, why did he add a code in front of it? Wouldn't that cause Qin Tian's dissatisfaction?
"Yes, Acting Crown Prince. It can be said that my position as crown prince is only temporary. If Crown Prince William wakes up one day, and I am not yet on the throne, the crown prince will be returned to Crown Prince William. Qin Tian looked helpless.
"What? How so? How could His Majesty give such a ridiculous order. How can there be such a thing as the return of the crown prince? Besides, you are better suited to lead the empire than Crown Prince William. No, I have to ask His Majesty why he made such a decision. Marshal Count Tirpitz looked indignant.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your support of me. However, since His Majesty has made such a decision, with his character, it is undoubtedly irrevocable. If you insist on bringing it up, it will only have the opposite effect. Qin Tian stopped Marshal Count Tirpitz.
Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded, of course he was also very clear about Wilhelm II's character: "Your Highness, this is so unfair to you!" ”
"Fair? There is no so-called injustice in this world, and the only thing I can do is to make some achievements in the position of the crown prince, so as to gain the recognition of everyone and His Majesty. Qin Tian said.
"Your Highness, it would be best if you could think like this. Either way, the Navy will be on your side and will always support you. Marshal Tirpitz said with relief. He was also worried that Qin Tian would be dissatisfied with this in his heart, so he would do something wrong.
"Thank you, Your Excellency! I promise that the Imperial German Navy will become the most powerful navy in the world. In the future, we will definitely be able to defeat the Germans. Qin Tian said with an oath. After becoming the crown prince, he had more power to promote new equipment in the navy. Submarines and aircraft carriers will become the focus of his next phase. In this way, after the outbreak of war, the German Navy will not only have a large and advanced surface ship formation, but also a first-class underwater submarine force and aviation force. This would give the German Navy a better chance of winning in future wars.
"Your Highness, I tell you that you will be able to do it." Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded, he didn't think that Qin Tian was talking about it. All along, Qin Tian has been constantly creating miracles. He believed that this time Qin Tian would definitely be able to do what he said.
Marshal Count Tirpitz soon left, but Qin Tian did not go to bed for a long time. Although Wilhelm II was only appointing his contemporary crown prince, the word 'generation' would be a great constraint on him. But Qin Tian was still very excited, he jumped from an ordinary prince to the acting crown prince with the right to inherit the throne. Once Wilhelm II died, he would be able to immediately succeed to the throne as Emperor of Germany. As for Crown Prince William, who has become a vegetative person, it is not so easy to wake up. After all, the awakening of a vegetative person can be called a medical miracle.
became the acting crown prince, which also meant that the burden on Qin Tian's shoulders was heavier. The fate of him and the German Empire was inextricably linked. For his own sake and for the sake of the German Empire, he needed to do everything in his power so that he could win the wars in the future. Otherwise, not only Germany will have no future, but also himself.
The next day, on December 27, Kaiser Wilhelm II issued an edict appointing Qin Tian as the acting crown prince of the German Empire, given that Crown Prince Wilhelm was seriously injured and could no longer perform his duties as crown prince.
Although, only the acting crown prince. But in the German upper class, it still caused an uproar. Those people at the bottom don't care much about this. They care about how to fill their stomachs, and as for who will be the crown prince, it has nothing to do with them. Even, there are many low-level people who support Qin Tian to become the crown prince. Over the years, Deutsche Welfare Lottery has been committed to social welfare and improving people's livelihood, which has benefited many people. In this regard, they were naturally willing to support Qin Tian.
In the upper class, there are also many people who believe that Qin Tian is suitable to become the imperial crown prince. After all, Qin Tian's outstanding talent was beyond question. Others, on the other hand, were opposed, clinging to the law of succession and arguing that Wilhelm II's appointment was illegal. It's just that Wilhelm II strongly pursued this order, and no one took the opposition of those people to heart.
Within the royal family, there has always been opposition. The happiest ones were undoubtedly Qin Tian's other three elder brothers. Especially Etter, who is the second prince? Prince Friedrich strongly opposed Qin Tian as crown prince. After Crown Prince William's accident, he waited for his successor to become the crown prince. Unexpectedly, he was actually cut off by Qin Tian, which naturally made him unacceptable.
It's just that these princes had to be honest after being severely reprimanded by Wilhelm II. And Qin Tian officially became the acting crown prince of the German Empire.
