"It seems that Prince regards me as his enemy to inherit the throne." Oscar felt Crown Prince Wilhelm's deep hostility towards him.
However, Oscar doesn't care. Everything he did was to improve Germany's war strength so that Germany could win in future wars. It would be great if he could become Crown Prince of Germany. Even if he can't be Crown Prince, he doesn't care. Anyway, he remembered that Wilhelm II would live a long time. Even if you are Crown Prince, you will have to be a Crown Prince for decades. Besides, Wilhelm II is not a stupid Monarch, so naturally he will not let Crown Prince Wilhelm mess around.
Of course, Crown Prince Wilhelm targeted him again and again, which also made Oscar very angry. The so-called clay figurines are still angry, let alone Oscar. Blindly forbearing will only make Crown Prince Wilhelm push further.
"Crown Prince, German Welfare Lottery Company, part of the proceeds from each issue is allocated to the royal family and used for social welfare undertakings. In addition, I also donated 100 yuan to the Navy in my own name. Battleship. I think these are enough to show my return to the empire. Your unfounded accusation is a bit unfair to me. "Oscar behaves neither humble nor arrogant.
"You..." Crown Prince Wilhelm was furious, but he didn't know how to refute. Oscar indeed made a lot of money, but he also did not forget to give back to the society. In addition, the royal family also received a lot of benefits from this. Therefore, it is obviously inappropriate for Crown Prince Wilhelm to accuse Oscar in this regard.
"Okay, Prince, Oskar. Stop arguing. Prince, Oskar have given back to the empire more than you think. So, don't hold on to them. Don't use this as an excuse in the future." Wilhelm II said with a cold face.
"Yes, Father Emperor!" Oscar and Crown Prince Wilhelm had no choice but to stop arguing.
However, looking at Crown Prince Wilhelm's eyes, he was obviously very unwilling.
"Is it possible that Oskar guy has provided more support to the navy? Damn it, his financial resources are amazing. In this regard, there is no comparison between me and him!" Crown Prince Wilhelm was very angry.
"Father Emperor, I just established a Energy Company. In the next five years, my Energy Company will find a way to reserve two million tons of oil in Germany. However, once the war breaks out, it is difficult to say whether two million tons of oil will be enough." Oscar said.
When a Capital Ships goes to sea, it often needs to carry thousands of tons of fuel. Based on the future scale of German Navy, if all warships are filled with fuel, tens of thousands of tons will probably be needed. In this case, two million tons of oil will not last long at all.
Wilhelm II nodded. Oscar was willing to form Energy Company himself and contribute to the country's oil guarantee plan, which made him very satisfied.
"Your Majesty, although the navy's current military expenditure is very tight. However, in order to avoid restrictions on fuel in the future, the navy can find ways to reserve one million tons of oil to meet wartime needs." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz also said.
"Very good, in this case, the government is trying to build a reserve of two million tons of oil. Once a war breaks out, five million tons of oil should be enough to support us to win the war!" Wilhelm II said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Bernhardt von Chancellor Bülow nodded. Now that Wilhelm II has made a decision, he has no choice but to say nothing more. Although 120 million Mark is a large expense, if it is divided into several years, it will not cause too much pressure.
"Damn it, Oskar's proposal has been approved again. If this continues, won't his influence in national affairs become greater and greater? No, it can never continue like this." Crown Prince Wilhelm swore secretly. His hands were clenched tightly into fists, and his nails were almost digging into his flesh. It can be seen how angry he is in his heart.
It's just that Crown Prince Wilhelm doesn't have many ways to deal with Oscar. Compared to Oscar, Crown Prince Wilhelm is too weak in all aspects. If it weren't for the extra layer of Crown Prince's identity halo, he would be nothing at all.
Oscar, on the other hand, has no time to care about this. He is calculating whether the five million tons of oil reserves are enough.
"Five million tons of oil seems to be a lot. If the war can be ended within two years, it should be about the same. If it drags on longer, it will be very difficult to say. The key lies in whether the navy can defeat the Britain people in a short time. If it can win, everything will be easy to say. If it drags on longer, it will be troublesome." Oscar thought secretly.
What's more, Oscar also plans to promote the development of domestic motor vehicles in Germany. In this case, fuel consumption may further increase. At that time, once the motor vehicle market is developed, the consumption of oil will be truly explosive. Of course, once a war breaks out, fuel purchases can be controlled and restricted. However, doing so will make the people delay the war. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to take this approach.
"After the Italy people take over Libya, they will find a way to mine what is there and transport it to the country on a large scale. In this way, the oil reserves may be further increased, thereby alleviating the domestic oil shortage pressure." Oscar made up his mind.
Of course, Oscar also knows that once Libya's oil is extracted in advance, other countries will inevitably accelerate the exploration and extraction of North Africa's oil. Moreover, after the war breaks out, Libya's oil fields will also become the primary target of attack by Britain people and French. But Oscar doesn't care at all. As long as Germany can win the war, no matter how much the losses are, they can still be recovered after the war is over.
Therefore, winning the war is the most fundamental and important thing. This is the basis of everything. Oscar does so many things mainly for this reason.
In May 1906, Oscar instructed Karl? Von Jonath to establish a company named German Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company in Berlin. However, the company is nothing more than an empty shell. Oscar doesn't want to build a motor vehicle manufacturing plant from scratch. That would be too troublesome. He plans to use acquisitions to enable German Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company to quickly expand into Germany and even the entire Europe motor vehicle manufacturing field.
After all, after establishing Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company, it was possible to manufacture various military vehicles, even tanks and armored vehicles.
