Germanic Empire: please call me William 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 of Europe, he is definitely a very long-lived monarch. But now, everything has changed! Liu Chuan was deeply shocked.

Especially when he learned that Crown Prince William had also been directly thrown into a vegetative state because he had fallen off his war horse, he was involuntarily ecstatic.

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

Upon the death of Wilhelm II, Crown Prince Wilhelm would ascend to the throne and become the new Emperor of the Germanic Empire.

But now, even Crown Prince William has become a vegetative person. He no longer had the ability to perform the duties of the crown prince, no way to ascend the throne again.

This, then, meant that the Germanic Empire needed to choose a new person to ascend the throne and become emperor.

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

“According to the custom, it should be the second brother who ascends the throne and claims the throne.” However, for me, this opportunity is so good that it must not be missed. Liu Chuan thought darkly.

Although it was very difficult to seize the throne from the brother who was at the front of the line. But it was much simpler than seizing the throne from Crown Prince William before he was born.

Prince Etter Frederick was the heir to the throne, and that’s right. However, there are exceptions to everything.

Liu Chuan knew that in a dual monarchy like the Germanic Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia occupied an absolute leading position in the entire empire. The other kingdoms, the Grand Duchy, the Principality and the Principality, were subordinate. Even if the other three kingdoms were stronger, even if they were united, they would not be able to compete with the Kingdom of Prussia.

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 army.

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

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

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

“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.

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

As for Crown Prince William, there was even less brotherhood. Not only was he narrow-minded and could not see others well, but he also did not 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 Crown Prince William, Liu Chuan remembered very clearly. Even, he used the national righteousness and family interests to suppress Liu Chuan, asking Liu Chuan to donate gold mines to the empire. This made Liu Chuan very disgusted. To seize his throne, Liu Chuan did not have any psychological burden.

As for the second brother, Prince Etel Frederick, and the third brother, Prince Adalbert, the relationship with Liu Chuan is still very normal. Snatching the throne from their hands, Liu Chuan also did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.

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

Liu Chuan firmly believed that if it was still Wilhelm II who ruled the Germanic Empire, even if Wilhelm II suddenly hung up and was ruled by Crown Prince William. Or rather, ruled by his second or third brother.

The Germanic Empire eventually collapsed.

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

Under such circumstances, Liu Chuan was naturally unyielding to the throne and was determined to win.

“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 inherit the throne. Then, I will be able to inherit the throne naturally! Liu Chuan told himself.

Then he must persuade the army to take his side.

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

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

And this is undoubtedly Liu Chuan’s opportunity.
