"Everyone, what should we do now? Are we just going to watch Oskar lead the army, defeat Imperial Guard bit by bit, and then surround the palace. Finally break into the palace and catch us all? We won't He just launched a rebellion and killed His Majesty the Emperor. When the time comes, Oskar will definitely not let us go. What will be waiting for us is the gallows erected high," Duke of Württemberg said.

Duke of Württemberg also regretted it terribly. If he had known that Crown Prince Wilhelm could not succeed, he would have said that he should never have been involved in this incident. After all, as Duke of Kingdom of Württemberg and Commander of 4th Army Corps, he is definitely a high-ranking person in the German Empire. There is no need to involve yourself just because of the bad check written by Crown Prince Wilhelm! Moreover, maybe the whole Württemberg Royal Family will be involved. In that case, he will become the sinner of the Württemberg Royal Family.

The reason why Duke of Württemberg participated in this rebellion was entirely because Crown Prince Wilhelm proposed to him that if successful, Kingdom of Württemberg would be given maximum autonomy. Except for diplomacy and military, all other powers belong to the Württemberg Royal Family. It can even make him go from Duke of Württemberg to Kingdom of Württemberg's König. This makes the status of Kingdom of Württemberg the same as Kingdom of Bavaria within the Empire. Even compared to Kingdom of Bavaria, it has greater autonomy.

This is undoubtedly an irresistible temptation for Duke of Württemberg. Of course he wants to expand the power in his hands. If possible, he even hopes that Kingdom of Württemberg can one day become an independent kingdom. Of course, he knew that would be impossible in a short time. But the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. Duke of Württemberg believes that one day, his goal can really be achieved. It was precisely because of this that he defeated Crown Prince Wilhelm. But who knew that this was actually a huge pit! He was completely trapped. Now it is even more impossible to jump out of the pit. This made Duke of Württemberg very speechless.

"Oh! If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have been so obsessed with it in the first place. I wouldn't be like this now." Duke of Württemberg sighed in his heart. It is precisely because of this that he wants to actively find a solution.

"No, we absolutely can't just sit back and wait for death. We must find a way. Otherwise, we will be dead!" Crown Prince Wilhelm also said.

But what can be done now? The strength of the two sides is so disparate. Imperial Guard alone can no longer reverse the situation. Once the army led by Oscar takes over the palace, they will be dead.

"Chief of Staff, is there anything else you can do?" Crown Prince Wilhelm looked at Moltke the Younger.

There is no doubt that Moltke the Younger is the one with the most outstanding ability among his followers. If even Moltke the Younger can't do anything, then they are really dead.

"Your Highness, the current situation is indeed very, very unfavorable to us. If we want to reverse the situation, the possibility of success is very slim." Moltke the Younger sighed.

"Is there nothing we can do?" Eitel? Prince Friedrich asked.

As the second son of Wilhelm II, Eitel? Prince Friedrich originally had no extravagant hopes for the throne. But Crown Prince Wilhelm became a vegetable, which unexpectedly gave him a chance. After all, according to the heirs to the throne, he is the second in line to the throne. But unexpectedly, Wilhelm II directly passed him and passed the position of Crown Prince to Oscar. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him. This also makes Eitel? Prince Friedrich not only full of hatred for Oscar, but also full of hatred for Wilhelm II.

However, if he had known that the mutiny would not succeed, he would have said nothing and would not have participated. After all, as a Prince, his various treatments are still very good. But once the mutiny fails, he will definitely be dealt with. Although he did not kill Wilhelm II himself, he was an accomplice after all. Oscar will definitely not let him go.

"Crown Prince, the matter has come to this, we can only try our best at the end. After all, this is related to the wealth and life of all of us!" Moltke the Younger said.

"Count, what can you do?" Crown Prince Wilhelm asked.

"Once again, in the name of Your Majesty, send someone to notify Your Highness Oskar and ask him to come to the palace. Your Majesty summoned him, and Your Highness Oskar should come to pay homage to him both emotionally and rationally. As soon as he enters the palace, we will control him immediately and let him order the army and Marine Corps to withdraw, and then we can implement it step by step." Moltke the Younger said.

Crown Prince Wilhelm couldn't help but frown, because he knew that Oscar would never be fooled so easily. All fools know that the palace is now controlled by the Rebel Army. Entering the palace is undoubtedly entering Rebel Army's lair. Isn't that asking for death?

"Count, Oskar won't be so easily fooled, right?" Crown Prince Wilhelm said.

"Indeed, but what if we use Your Majesty's life as a coercion? If he doesn't come to the palace, we will kill Your Majesty. By then, he will probably be in a dilemma!" A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Moltke the Younger's eyes.

Crown Prince Wilhelm and others immediately understood what Moltke the Younger meant. Although, Wilhelm II is dead. However, this does not prevent them from luring Oscar into the palace under the guise of Wilhelm II. In that case, they still have a glimmer of hope.

Moreover, Crown Prince Wilhelm and others believe that this has a certain chance of success. After all, Oscar is Crown Prince. He can't just care about Wilhelm II's life or death! In that case, once the matter spreads, it will have a very big impact on Oscar's reputation.

"Very good, very good. Count, this will be a very good method. As long as Oskar can be eliminated, those armies will no longer obey his orders. We can turn defeat into victory." Crown Prince Wilhelm was very satisfied.

However, he didn't see the worry in Moltke the Younger's eyes. What Moltke the Younger is worried about is that even if they kill Oscar, those troops may not be able to capture him without mercy. At that time, the army might kill them all in anger. At that time, I don't know who will inherit the position of the Emperor of the German Empire. Maybe German Empire will fall into chaos because of this! However, for the sake of his own life, Moltke the Younger couldn't care less.
