"Your Majesty, Crown Prince are still too young after all! Regardless of the actual situation, he promoted Military System Reform in 8th Army Corps, not only forcibly changing The traditional military system of the German Empire Army has made many generals and officers resentful, and the entire 8th Army Corps has been greatly affected by this. If this continues, the combat effectiveness of the 8th Army Corps will not be improved. It's already very difficult to stay the same. When the war breaks out and Russians attacks East Prussia, how can 8th Army Corps resist? "Moltke the Younger accused Oscar sternly, as if if Oscar was not dealt with, 8th Army Corps would collapse and Germany would lose the future war.

Wilhelm II couldn't help but frown. He thought that it didn't seem to be as serious as Moltke the Younger said. However, Moltke the Younger said it so seriously, which made Wilhelm II's confidence waver. Is it possible that Oscar is really not suitable to serve as Commander to 8th Army Corps?

"Your Majesty, I believe that Crown Prince must be transferred away from 8th Army Corps. Otherwise, 8th Army Corps will be disgraced." Prittwitz also jumped out.

Wilhelm II knows that Oscar transferred Prittwitz away from 8th Army Corps last time, which made Prittwitz hold a grudge. Now, Military System Reform promoted by Oscar in 8th Army Corps may indeed have some problems, so he couldn't wait to jump out.

Wilhelm II is aware of Military System Reform conducted by Oscar at 8th Army Corps. However, he didn't think it would have any bad effects. He also hopes that Oscar can achieve great results in 8th Army Corps. In this case, he can take this opportunity to promote it to other legions.

"Okay, I understand. I will ask Oskar to return to Berlin immediately and explain this matter to me." Wilhelm II said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Moltke the Younger and Prittwitz replied. Although, Wilhelm II did not immediately issue an order to remove Oscar 8th Army Corps Commander, which made them a little disappointed. However, it is already a great victory for Oscar to rush back to Berlin from 8th Army Corps immediately and question him.

When the command from Wilhelm II reached 8th Army Corps, Oscar knew that it was Moltke the Younger who took action. He was not surprised by this. He had already expected that Moltke the Younger would definitely cause trouble for him.

"Your Highness, the news I got is that Moltke the Younger and Prittwitz impeached you to Your Majesty. Those two guys really shouldn't have done it. Don't they know, Military System Reform, can the large-scale replacement of new weapons improve the combat effectiveness of the troops? This has only benefits for the entire German Empire. "Hindenburg was very angry.

"It's not that they don't know this, it's just that they don't want Military System Reform to succeed under the auspices of Crown Prince. They know that once Crown Prince succeeds, they will completely lose the chance to overthrow Crown Prince. They also know that once Crown Prince inherits the throne, people like them will have no chance to be in high positions. So, they can't wait to jump out." Ludendorff said.

"Hmph! They won't succeed. I want to see what tricks they can pull off this time. In the face of the facts, Your Majesty will not listen to their nonsense." Oscar said confidently.

"Yes, Your Highness." Hindenburg and Ludendorff nodded repeatedly. They also dislike Moltke the Younger, Prittwitz, etc. who have little ability and are in high positions relying on their close relationship with Wilhelm II. It would be great if we could drive them down, or even drive out the army.

Oscar took a special train overnight and returned to Berlin. The next morning, he had already appeared in Wilhelm II's office. At the same time, Moltke the Younger, Prittwitz, Feng Falkenhayn and General von Waldow were also in the office.

"Oskar, how are 8th Army Corps's situation?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Father Emperor, 8th Army Corps's situation is fine. They are developing continuously. I believe that 8th Army Corps will soon become an elite force." Oscar is full of confidence in this.

"Crown Prince is exaggerating, isn't it? Didn't Your Highness make people angry at 8th Army Corps? Now he is deliberately deceiving Your Majesty, isn't it bad?" Moltke the Younger looked sinister.

"The sky is angry and people are angry? What's going on?" Oscar was stunned. Although he has touched the interests of some people because of his promotion of Military System Reform, it is far from the point of causing anger and resentment, right? This charge is too serious.

"Your Highness still wants to deny it? Your Highness insists on pursuing Military System Reform in 8th Army Corps, which has made the generals and officers very dissatisfied. If this continues, 8th Army Corps will collapse. How can we talk about becoming an elite army?" Prittwitz jumped out to accuse.

Oscar raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Lieutenant General Prittwitz as if he were looking at a clown. He had known that Prittwitz would hold a grudge for being kicked out of 8th Army Corps, and he also knew that he still had some partisans among 8th Army Corps. This time his Military System Reform and Prittwitz will definitely pop out. However, he didn't expect that the other party didn't even understand the real situation, so he jumped out and made accusations. He really doubted how such a person could be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General of the Empire and still be the commander of Infantry Corps.

Oscar's eyes made Prittwitz so angry that he almost cursed. However, Oscar's identity prevents him from treating ordinary people like that. I could only curse a few words in my mind to relieve my anger.

"General Prittwitz, it is too early to draw conclusions now. It is not too late to draw conclusions after investigating the facts!" Feng Falkenhayn spoke out in support of Oscar.

"Hmph! Isn't everything obvious? What else is there to say?" Prittwitz shouted.

The whole office became noisy. This made Wilhelm II very dissatisfied.

"Okay, shut up. Now I'm asking about Oskar's situation. No one else can speak without my permission!" Wilhelm II said angrily.

Seeing that Wilhelm II was angry, Lieutenant General Prittwitz remained silent. Although he has no ability in the military. However, the ability to observe words and emotions is very strong. Otherwise, he would not have become Wilhelm II's favorite, then promoted to lieutenant general and served as Infantry Corps's army commander. He knows that all his power was given by Wilhelm II. If Wilhelm II is angered and his power is taken back, he will have nothing.
