Germanic Empire: please call me William 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 meant that Liu Chuan had already gained the support of the Germanic Navy and Army.

With the support of the military, Liu Chuan was almost ironclad about the throne.

Of course, whether it is Count Tirpitz or General Schlieffen, the reason why they support Liu Chuan is not only that Liu Chuan can provide a huge military expenditure for the navy and army, but also because of the talent that Liu Chuan has shown.

Although they are not completely sure yet, they have already recognized Liu Chuan’s performance. At least, it’s much better than Prince Etter Frederick and Prince Adalbert.

If Prince Etter Frederick had succeeded to the throne, they were really afraid that the Germanic Empire would be doomed. This is undoubtedly absolutely unacceptable to them.

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

“Your Royal Highness, it is not enough to have the support of the military. Although if we support you single-handedly, others cannot compete with you. However, this will make a big deal out of it, and it will make the entire empire boil, even turbulent. That would be very detrimental to the Empire. Next, you need to strike iron while it is hot and get support from the cabinet government and within the royal family. In this case, you have the support of the entire power class of the Germanic Empire! General Schlieffen advised.

“All right, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I will meet at once with His Excellency the Prime Minister, His Excellency the Foreign Secretary and others, as well as with representatives of the Royal Family!” Liu Chuan’s expression was serious.

Subsequently, Liu Chuan rushed to the Prime Minister’s Office to meet with Prime Minister Bernhard von Bilo. Not long after, Foreign Minister Holwig also arrived at the Prime Minister’s Office.

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

“O God! Your Royal Highness, this is a violation of the Imperial Succession Act! Prime Minister Bilo 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 didn’t I naturally become the heir to the throne? ”

Prime Minister Billot and Foreign Secretary Holwig both frowned involuntarily.

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

The sudden death of William II, coupled with the fact that Crown Prince William had become a vegetative person, made it possible for the situation in the Germanic Empire to go into chaos, and it was even very likely that the empire would face collapse. Therefore, they hoped that the throne would be smooth for the 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 would the Army and Navy support you?” General Schlieffen and Count Tirpitz would not have been unaware that their approach had violated neutrality, the Imperial Succession Act. Prime Minister Bilo asked.

“Because they don’t want to watch the empire go to ruin step by step.” The abilities of my two brothers, I think you all know. And although the empire is now developing, it is actually in danger. If my brothers were allowed to inherit the throne, would they be able to lead the empire to victory and glory?

No, they don’t have that ability. I, on the other hand, have the ability to do so. So, the military chose to side with me. The reason why they did this was entirely for the sake of the Empire! ”

Prime Minister Billot and Foreign Minister Holwig were silent.

Prince Eitel Frederick and Prince Adalbert were indeed not the most suitable heirs to the throne, and they knew it. But is Liu Chuan the most suitable candidate? They are also not sure.

“Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. Of course, in addition to my personal talents, I promised to divide forty percent of Auguste Mining’s annual revenues among the Army and Navy as special military expenses. If the Cabinet is willing to support me, I am equally committed to donating twenty percent of the annual revenue of august mining to the Imperial Treasury for the construction of the country and the improvement of the people’s livelihood.

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

Prime Minister Billot and Foreign Minister Holwig were moved when they heard this.
