Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

After General Schlieffen expressed his support for Liu Chuan, Lieutenant General Moltke Jr. naturally expressed his support for Liu Chuan without any surprise.

The statements of the two of them can almost be equated with the attitude of the army.

This also means that Liu Chuan has received the support of the German Imperial Navy and Army.

After receiving the support of the military, Liu Chuan was almost ironclad to the throne.

Of course, whether it was Count Tirpitz or General Schlieffen, the reason why they supported Liu Chuan was not only that Liu Chuan could provide a huge military budget for the navy and army, but also because of Liu Chuan’s talent.

Although they are not completely sure now, they have already recognized Liu Chuan’s performance. At least, much better than Prince Ettel Friedrich and Prince Adalbert.

If Prince Ettel Friedrich really succeeded to the throne, they were really afraid that the Germanic Empire would go to extinction. This is undoubtedly absolutely unacceptable to them.

The Germanic Empire was not just the empire of the royal family, but also their empire. In the event of the death of William II and their chosen heir to the throne, Crown Prince Wilhelm, became a vegetative person, they naturally had to choose a more suitable heir for the Germanic Empire as much as possible. In this way, it would be possible to ensure that the Germanic Empire continued to go to glory, not destruction.

“Your Royal Highness, it is not enough to have the support of the military. Although if we support you wholeheartedly, others will not be able to compete with you. However, this will make a big deal of trouble, and will make the entire empire boil, even turbulent. That would be very unfavorable for the empire. Next, you’ll need to strike while the iron is hot and get support from the cabinet government as well as within the royal family. In this way, it is equivalent to having the support of the entire power class of the Germanic Empire! General Schlieffen suggested.

“Okay, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I will immediately hold a meeting with His Excellency the Prime Minister, His Excellency the Foreign Secretary, and others, as well as representatives of the royal family!” Liu Chuan’s expression was serious.

Afterwards, Liu Chuan rushed to the Prime Minister’s Office non-stop to meet with Prime Minister Bernhardt von Biello. Not long after, Foreign Minister Holwig also arrived at the Prime Minister’s Office.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, I have the support of the Army and Navy. They all supported me to replace my brother as the heir to the imperial throne! In front of the prime minister and foreign minister, Liu Chuan had a direct showdown.

“Oh God! Your Royal Highness, this is a violation of the Law on Succession to the Imperial Throne! Prime Minister Bilo suddenly exclaimed.

Liu Chuan shook his head: “No, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think that with everyone supporting me, my two brothers will definitely compromise and give in.” They voluntarily gave up the throne, so wouldn’t it be logical for me to become the heir to the throne? ”

Prime Minister Bilo and Foreign Minister Holwig couldn’t help but frown.

They never imagined that the situation would turn out like this.

The sudden death of Wilhelm II and the fact that Crown Prince Wilhelm became a vegetative state made the situation in the Germanic Empire likely to become chaotic, and even very likely to collapse the empire. Therefore, they hoped that the throne could be a smooth kingdom and ensure the stability of the empire.

However, Liu Chuan actually came to such a move, which naturally caught them off guard.

“Your Royal Highness, why do the army and navy support you? General Schlieffen and Count Tirpitz would not have been unaware that their actions had violated neutrality and violated the Law of Succession to the Imperial Throne. Prime Minister Bilo asked.

“Because they don’t want to watch the empire go down step by step.” The abilities of my two brothers must be known to you. And although the empire is now constantly developing, it is actually full of dangers. If my brothers are allowed to inherit the throne, will they be able to lead the empire to victory and glory?

No, they don’t have the ability. I, on the other hand, have the ability. So, the military chose to be on my side. The reason why they did this is also completely for the sake of the empire! ”

Prime Minister Bilo and Foreign Minister Holwig were silent.

It is true that Prince Ettel Friedrich and Prince Adalbert are not the most suitable heirs to the throne, and they know this. However, is Liu Chuan the most suitable candidate? They are equally uncertain.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, Your Excellency Foreign Secretary. Of course, in addition to my personal talent, I also promised to distribute forty percent of the annual revenue of August Mining Company to the Army and Navy as special military expenses. If the cabinet is willing to support me, I also promise to donate 20% of the annual earnings of August Mining Company to the Imperial Treasury for domestic construction and improvement of people’s livelihood.

What I found was not a copper mine, but a gold-copper mine, at least more than three thousand tons of gold, more than ten thousand tons of silver and forty million copper of gold, worth two or three hundred billion marks! ”

Prime Minister Bilo and Foreign Minister Holwig were immediately moved when they heard these words.
