A smile appeared on Crown Prince Wilhelm's face, and he knew that Moltke the Younger would definitely choose to help him. After all, Moltke the Younger is a person who attaches great importance to power. After being dismissed, his heart was filled with resentment. Coupled with the feud between Moltke the Younger and Oscar, Moltke the Younger will definitely worry that once Oscar succeeds to the throne, it will pose a greater threat to him. Under such circumstances, supporting Crown Prince Wilhelm is undoubtedly the best choice.

After all, once Crown Prince Wilhelm successfully regains the right to inherit the throne, then Moltke the Younger will not only be able to resume his official position, but also take this opportunity to obtain a lot of benefits. Nothing is better than this.

Of course, if it fails, the consequences will be disastrous. However, Moltke the Younger believes that it is a failure. At least he could save his life. After all, his personal relationship with Wilhelm II is very good.

"Count, I am very pleased that you can make such a choice. I believe that you will never regret your choice today." Crown Prince Wilhelm looked confident, as if everything was already won.

"I hope so!" Moltke the Younger said.

"Count, please go back first. I have to meet with other people. Tomorrow night, we will discuss specific actions here." Crown Prince Wilhelm said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Moltke the Younger nodded. He knew that Crown Prince Wilhelm would definitely not be looking for him alone. Before becoming a vegetative state, there were still many people in Crown Prince Wilhelm. Even now, most of those people are no longer in place. But it can still be used by some people in the future.

Moltke the Younger and Lieutenant General Prittwitz left the manor by car and returned to Berlin overnight.

After returning home, Moltke the Younger did not reveal any news to his family. He knew that this behavior would be very risky. However, since he has promised Crown Prince Wilhelm to help him regain the right to inherit the throne, then he has no way out and must go all out. Otherwise, if it fails, the consequences will be unbearable for him.

"Your Majesty has obviously fully agreed with Oskar. The previous promise of Crown Prince Wilhelm returning Crown Prince's position when he wakes up is obviously no longer possible. So, it is obviously unrealistic for Wilhelm II to issue an edict to remove Oskar from his position as Crown Prince. In that case, I am afraid it will trigger a counterattack from Oskar. The army currently controlled by Oskar is enough to ensure his victory." Moltke the Younger thought secretly.

"Then, there is only one way to go. Directly launch a mutiny. Send troops to capture the palace and put Your Majesty under house arrest. Then recall Oskar, put him under house arrest, or even kill him. Like this If so, there will be no room for others to object. At that time, Crown Prince Wilhelm will be able to legitimately take back his right to inherit the throne, or even inherit the throne directly. "Moltke the Younger believes that this is the only feasible way.

Even though Wilhelm II is his friend, he doesn't care about that much anymore.

The next night, Moltke the Younger and Lieutenant General Prittwitz once again took a car to the manor on the outskirts of Potsdam. After entering, Moltke the Younger discovered that in addition to him and Lieutenant General Prittwitz, there were also Marshal Goltz and General Graf. Marshal Goltz is a veteran in the army, but now he has been relegated to the second line, but he still has a certain influence in the army. As for General Graf, he is the general of Imperial Guard.

In addition, Moltke the Younger also saw Duke of Württemberg, who was the nominal leader of Kingdom of Württemberg and also Commander of the German Army 4th Army Corps. In terms of status, among the people here, he is definitely second only to Crown Prince Wilhelm. Not even Moltke the Younger can compare.

Moltke the Younger did not expect that Crown Prince Wilhelm would find so many supporters. And this undoubtedly means that the possibility of Crown Prince Wilhelm's success will be greatly improved. This made his originally worried heart gradually return to his stomach.

"Everyone, thank you for continuing to support me. I promise that once I successfully regain the right to inherit the throne, I will not forget everyone's help." Crown Prince Wilhelm promised everyone.

Everyone readily accepted Crown Prince Wilhelm's commitment. After all, one of the important reasons why they will support Crown Prince Wilhelm at this juncture is that they are dissatisfied with their current life. They all want to gain higher status and greater power. Another reason is that everyone has issues with Oscar. In other words, Oscar cannot meet their requirements. Therefore, they can only find other people to support them.

No matter what, Crown Prince Wilhelm is undoubtedly the orthodoxy of the Empire. Choosing to support Crown Prince Wilhelm is easier to achieve success than choosing to support other ordinary Prince.

"Your Highness, His Majesty the Emperor's attitude has changed. He has fully supported Your Highness Oskar. Therefore, there are not many ways we can take." Marshal Goltz said.

"In other words, we can only take very extreme measures." Crown Prince Wilhelm's face was expressionless, and no one knew his innermost thoughts.

"Yes, Your Highness. We can only use force to force Your Majesty to depose Your Highness Oskar's Crown Prince position and return Crown Prince's position to you!" Moltke the Younger also said.

Crown Prince Wilhelm nodded. "Well, since there is no other way, let's take this method!"

"Your Highness, I think that if we do this, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be very dissatisfied with us. In the future, he will also look for opportunities to deal with us. Instead of doing this, it is better to make His Majesty the Emperor abdicate and let Your Highness succeed. In this way, we can be truly safe!" Lieutenant General Prittwitz said.

"This is a good idea." Others agreed. In fact, they also thought of this method. However, that would directly attack Wilhelm II, which might cause Crown Prince Wilhelm's dissatisfaction, so no one said anything.

In fact, after Crown Prince Wilhelm woke up this time, he no longer recognized the family affection between Wilhelm II. If we can get it right in one step and let him inherit the throne, that would be the best thing.

"Everyone, in order to avoid future troubles, I also think that we should take the latter method." Moltke the Younger also said.

"Well, since everyone says so, let's use the last method!" Crown Prince Wilhelm also said. In fact, this was exactly what he wanted. It's just that it's hard for him to say it himself, so it's up to others to say it.
