"Carter, send this Telegram to Berlin immediately and ask your father to hand it over to Father Emperor." Oscar said to his captain of the bodyguard, Carter? Feng? Jonath. After becoming Crown Prince, Oscar formed his own bodyguard, and the chief of the bodyguard was Carter? Feng? Jonath, the former chief of the bodyguard of Crown Prince Wilhelm.
After becoming a vegetative state, Crown Prince Wilhelm can be said to be useless. As the captain of the bodyguard, Carter? Feng? Jonath also had his future ruined. However, his father Essen? Feng? Jonath, as Wilhelm II's housekeeper, was also very good to Oscar. In addition, his younger brother Karl? Feng? Jonath helps Oscar manage a huge business empire. Under these factors, Oscar naturally has to look at Carter? Feng? Jonath in a different light.
As for the issue of loyalty, Oscar is not worried at all. Jonait family originally served Hohenzollern family. Now, he is the Crown Prince of the empire, the future emperor of the empire, so Jonait family will naturally be loyal to him wholeheartedly. Especially when his future was almost ruined, Carter? Feng? Jonath undoubtedly cherished this opportunity even more. If Oscar also had an accident, or missed the throne, then Carter? Feng? Jonath would also have nothing great to accomplish in this life.
"Yes, Your Highness." Carter immediately went to send Telegram.
"Prittwitz, I'm really sorry this time. Who made you hit the muzzle of my gun? I have no choice but to borrow your head." Oscar said secretly.
If you want to establish your authority, there is nothing more appropriate than killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Now, Prittwitz jumps out to be the chicken, and Oscar certainly won't let it go. Although Oscar cannot take Prittwitz's head this time, transferring the emperor's favorite away from 8th Army Corps is undoubtedly a severe slap in his face. This is also a great shock to other generals. In this case, it will be much easier for Oscar to establish his prestige among 8th Army Corps.
Of course, Oscar is not sure at all whether Wilhelm II will support him. Oscar can only hope that Wilhelm II will remember the love between father and son and help him again. Otherwise, under the opposition of Moltke the Younger, it would be impossible to transfer Prittwitz away. Oscar also had someone notify Feng Falkenhayn and asked him to support him on this issue.
The offices of Berlin and Wilhelm II. Although, it is already late at night. However, Wilhelm II did not rest, but continued to deal with official duties. It is not easy to manage such a huge empire. Even though Wilhelm II prides himself on having extraordinary talents, he still needs to spend a lot of time dealing with official duties.
"Your Majesty, your coffee is ready." Essen? Feng? Jonath walked in with a cup of coffee.
"Put it on the table!" Wilhelm II didn't even raise his head.
However, he soon noticed that Essen? Feng? Jonath did not leave after putting down the coffee.
"Is there anything else?" Wilhelm II raised his head and asked. For this playmate who grew up with him, Wilhelm II has no airs of an emperor at all.
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Oskar seems to be in trouble. This is the Telegram he gave you." Essen? Feng? Jonath handed Telegram to Wilhelm II.
Wilhelm II took Telegram, and soon his expression became very ugly.
"Damn it, that guy Prittwitz, who gave him the courage to provoke Imperial Crown Prince?" Wilhelm II was furious. Even though Prittwitz is his favorite, he is still very dissatisfied.
"However, Oskar seems to have gone too far. Prittwitz just missed the ceremony and dinner to welcome him, do we have to transfer him?" Wilhelm II obviously thinks that Oscar is a little too pushy.
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince is still young, only twenty years old this year. Young people are inevitably a little more energetic. However, Prittwitz did not do what he should have done this time. It's time, we shouldn't rely on Your Majesty's trust in him, and even Crown Prince should not take it seriously," Essen? Feng? Jonath said. Jonait family and Oscar have a close relationship. Of course he will stand on Oscar's side and speak for Oscar.
Wilhelm II frowned, seeming to be thinking about how to deal with it.
"You mean, should I agree to Oskar's request?"
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince takes over the military power of a legion for the first time. It is exactly when you need your support. Prittwitz's behavior is undoubtedly a blow to Your Highness's prestige. Your Highness will Prittwitz has no choice but to transfer away from 8th Army Corps. Only in this way can he maintain his prestige. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Your Highness to gain respect from 8th Army Corps." Essen? Feng? Jonath suggested.
"If Prittwitz is transferred away from 8th Army Corps, he will also be embarrassed." Wilhelm II said.
After all, Prittwitz is also one of Wilhelm II's favorite courtiers.
Essen? Feng? Jonath remained silent. He has already said this. If he talks more, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to help Oscar, but it will have the opposite effect.
Wilhelm II thought about it, and then asked, "Prittwitz returned to Berlin this time, are you really sick?"
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, General Prittwitz was not sick at all. After returning to Berlin, he went directly to the home of the Chief of General Staff. It is said that the two drank until late at night." Essen? Feng? Jonath said.
Suddenly, Wilhelm II's face became even more ugly. If Prittwitz was really sick and went back to Berlin to see a doctor, then he was absent from Oscar's welcome ceremony, which is undoubtedly understandable. However, it seems that is clearly not the case now. Moreover, he also went to Moltke the Younger's house to drink, which made Wilhelm II doubt whether all this was discussed between Moltke the Younger and Prittwitz.
Although Wilhelm II favors Moltke the Younger, Prittwitz and others, it does not mean that he can condone their misbehavior, especially when he bullies his own son, Crown Prince of the empire, which makes him even more unacceptable.
No matter how favored a minister is, a minister is still a minister. How could he bully his master in turn?
"Let Moltke the Younger come to see me immediately. Also, let Minister of War come too." Wilhelm II ordered.
Now, Wilhelm II has made up his mind and wants to help Oscar again. Since Oscar wants to use Prittwitz to establish his prestige, then naturally he, as a father, can say nothing to hold him back.
