Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“How could Wilhelm II hang up like this? He’s only 44 years old now! In another time and space, he lived to be 82 years old! Among the monarchs in Europe, he is definitely the longest-lived monarch. But now, everything has changed! Liu Chuan was deeply shocked.

Especially when he learned that Crown Prince William was also directly thrown into a vegetative state because he fell off his war horse, he couldn’t help but feel a burst of ecstasy.

After all, Crown Prince William is the heir to the throne.

Once Wilhelm II died, Crown Prince Wilhelm would ascend the throne and become the new emperor of the Germanic Empire.

But now, even Crown Prince William is in a vegetative state. He no longer has the means to perform the duties of the crown prince, and there is no way to ascend the throne and claim the throne as emperor again.

Then, this also means that the Germanic Empire needs to choose a new candidate to ascend the throne and become emperor.

According to the heir to the throne, the third heir to the throne is the second prince, that is, Liu Chuan’s second brother, Prince Ettel Friedrich. The fourth is Liu Chuan’s third brother, Prince Adalbert. The fifth place was Liu Chuan’s turn.

“According to the convention, it should be the second brother who ascended the throne and became emperor. However, for me, this opportunity is so good that I can’t pass it up. Liu Chuan thought secretly.

Although, it was very difficult to take the throne from the brother who was in front of the ranking. However, it is much simpler than taking the throne from Crown Prince William when he was not yet born.

Prince Ettel Friedrich is the heir to the throne, that’s right. However, there are exceptions.

Liu Chuan knew that in a dual monarchy like the Germanic Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia occupied an absolute leadership position in the entire empire. The other kingdoms, grand duchys, principalities and princely states, were subordinate. Even if the other three kingdoms were stronger, even if they joined forces, they could not confront the Prussian kingdom.

The foundation of the Germanic Empire was the army, and the army’s allegiance was to the emperor, not the empire. This shows the importance of the military.

The army of the Kingdom of Prussia accounted for two-thirds of the army of the entire Germanic Empire. In addition, with the exception of the Kingdom of Bavaria, the Kingdom of Saxony and the Kingdom of Württemberg, which retained part of the army, the armies of the other Grand Duchies, Duchies and Princely States were commanded by the Kingdom of Prussia.

Thus, the Kingdom of Prussia was able to control 80 percent of its army directly and indirectly.

As long as you can get the support of the army, then you can surpass the two heirs in front and inherit the throne. The so-called succession law to the throne is still like a piece of waste paper in the face of absolute strength.

“This may be my only chance to change the fate of myself and the entire Germanic Empire, and I must seize it!” Liu Chuan told himself.

Wilhelm II hung up, and Crown Prince William became a vegetative person. Liu Chuan did not have much grief in his heart. Although Wilhelm II was his cheap father, there was actually not much deep affection between father and son. Wilhelm II’s most cared about son was Crown Prince William. The other sons, as if they were sent by phone bill.

As for Crown Prince William, it is even less brotherly. Not only is he narrow-minded and can’t see others well, but he also doesn’t regard Liu Chuan as a brother at all.

Liu Chuan found the gold mine, and when he learned the value of the gold mine, what was the face of Prince William, Liu Chuan remembered very clearly. Even, he pressed Liu Chuan with the country’s righteousness and family interests, asking Liu Chuan to donate the gold mine to the empire. This made Liu Chuan very disgusted. To snatch his throne, Liu Chuan has no psychological burden at all.

As for the second brother, Prince Friedrich and the third brother, Prince Adalbert, the relationship with Liu Chuan is still very normal. From snatching the right to inherit the throne from them, Liu Chuan also did not feel anything bad.

Besides, he knew the final outcome of the Germanic Empire, and naturally he would never allow such an opportunity to slip out of his hands.

Liu Chuan firmly believed that if William II still ruled the Germanic Empire, even if William II suddenly hung up, it would be ruled by Crown Prince William. Or rather, his second or third brother will rule.

The Germanic Empire eventually collapsed.

Only he can change all this. Only then could the Germanic Empire avoid collapse.

Under such circumstances, Liu Chuan naturally did not give up the throne, and he was determined to win it.

“If I want to inherit the throne, the support of the army is very important. As long as the army supports me, then force the second and third brothers to give up the right to the throne. Then, I will be able to inherit the throne naturally! Liu Chuan told himself.

Then he had to convince the army to take his side.

Fortunately, Liu Chuan is not without chips now, and the Grassberg gold mine, worth up to two or three hundred billion marks, is the biggest chip in his hands.

The German Empire navy and army of this period were eager to achieve rapid development. However, they also face a very serious problem, which is a lack of money.

And this is undoubtedly Liu Chuan’s opportunity.
