Tirpitz shook his head. "This time, it is not necessarily Crown Prince Wilhelm who instructed Moltke the Younger to do this, and he does not have the ability. But Moltke the Younger and Crown Prince Wilhelm have a close relationship, which is well known. And you have now posed a huge threat to Crown Prince Wilhelm's status. Whether you admit it or not, this is the fact. At least, Crown Prince Wilhelm thinks so. So, next, Crown Prince Wilhelm will definitely continue to cause trouble for you."

Oscar nodded, Crown Prince Wilhelm targeted him, which did not surprise him. He had already expected this. However, Moltke the Younger's attitude was so obvious, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.

"Your Highness, I have a news for you. Your Majesty has complained more than once that Crown Prince's character is too paranoid, his mind is too narrow-minded, and his abilities are limited. I am afraid that he will not be able to rule this empire well." Tirpitz said.

"Is the problem so serious?" Oscar couldn't help but be stunned. Although, he had long known that Wilhelm II was becoming more and more dissatisfied with what Crown Prince Wilhelm was doing. But I didn't expect that Wilhelm II would complain like this. This undoubtedly shows that Wilhelm II's patience with Crown Prince Wilhelm has almost reached its limit. Otherwise, with how much Wilhelm II loves his eldest son, Crown Prince Wilhelm, such a thing would never happen.

"Your Highness, you have contributed a lot to why this happened!" Tirpitz sighed.

"Your Excellency, what does this mean?" Oscar deliberately pretended to be stupid. Even though he is full of desire for the throne, he will never admit it until the dust settles. Otherwise, not only would there be no hope for the throne, but he might also suffer disaster.

"Because Your Highness performed so well and so dazzlingly. This is in sharp contrast to Crown Prince Wilhelm. Crown Prince Wilhelm only knows how to use his status and identity to dictate and meddle in state affairs. But in fact, he can't do anything. It's hard to imagine what kind of development direction such a person will lead the empire once he becomes the emperor of the empire." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz shook his head.

Oscar deeply agrees with Tirpitz's opinion on Crown Prince Wilhelm. Of course, it cannot be truly recognized on the surface.

"Your Excellency, Crown Prince's character is really too eager to seek success, which makes him unable to succeed on many issues." Oscar said.

Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz nodded. "Your Highness, if Your Majesty is willing to make you the crown prince, what will you do?"

"Your Excellency, the laws of the empire will not allow such a thing to happen." Oscar shook his head. This may be the biggest difference between West and Eastern Empire. The prince of the Eastern Empire is entirely decided by the emperor. In West country, it must be based on the law. Imperial Succession Law is not a decoration.

"Indeed, such a situation is very difficult to happen. However, in the end, it still depends on the will of His Majesty the Emperor. If His Majesty the Emperor is determined to replace Crown Prince, then everything is possible. If it really happens Then, the Navy will fully support Your Highness, because I firmly believe that only Your Highness can lead the Navy and lead German Empire to a glorious victory." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said solemnly.

The expression on Oscar's face also became serious. He knew that Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz was expressing his attitude. Unless there is no problem with Crown Prince Wilhelm, once Wilhelm II wants to replace Crown Prince, he can get support from the navy.

"Your Excellency, it is impossible to say that you don't want to be Crown Prince. However, I know that it is very difficult. Therefore, the most important thing right now is to do our own thing well. Leave the other things to God! If I really have that opportunity, of course I will do my part." Oscar said.

Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz nodded and said nothing more.

When Oscar and Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz returned to Berlin, Chief of General Staff Moltke the Younger went straight to Potsdam. In a Farm on the outskirts of Potsdam, Moltke the Younger met Crown Prince Wilhelm here. This Farm is the property of the Archduke of Mecklenburg Schwerin. After Crown Prince Wilhelm and Cecilia got married, this Farm has been transferred to Cecilia's name.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, you are here. Please sit down and have a taste of this glass of wine brewed by the manor. Although it is not as good as the red wine produced by Bordeaux's ancient winery in France, it still has a different flavor." Crown Prince Wilhelm said with a smile on his face.

Seeing Crown Prince Wilhelm's appearance, Moltke the Younger couldn't help but shake his head. At the same time, he also had some doubts about whether his choice to support Crown Prince Wilhelm was right or wrong. This Crown Prince is devoted to pleasure. Although he has great ambitions, he has great ambitions and little talent. Apart from the advantage of having the eldest son of the royal family, there is no way to compare with Prince Oskar in other places. In this comparison, Prince Oskar is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for Crown Prince.

However, Moltke the Younger knew that he had no way to get off the ship. Having offended Oscar, even if he wants to change his stance, he may not be able to be reused. And for people like Moltke the Younger, once they lose their power, it will be more uncomfortable than killing him. Therefore, for his own status and power, he has no other choice but to support Crown Prince Wilhelm.

"Crown Prince, are you still in the mood to drink? The situation is very bad now. Prince Oskar Your Highness decided to donate Mark motorcycles worth 50 million to the army, which greatly satisfied the generals of the army. Their attitude towards Prince Oskar has also changed drastically. Once Prince Oskar increases their investment in the army, I am afraid that those guys will soon turn to him. In addition, the navy has completely turned to Prince Oskar. Then, Your Highness has no chance of winning." Moltke the Younger said with a serious face.

"What? How could this happen! Damn it, Oskar, what on earth is he trying to do? He has won over the Navy, and he is also trying his best to win over the Army." Crown Prince Wilhelm suddenly became furious. The smile on his face had completely disappeared, and was replaced by a ferocious look on his face.

"Crown Prince, the current situation is very critical. If you continue like this, just give up the throne to Prince Oskar!" After Moltke the Younger said this, he turned and left.

"Asshole!" Crown Prince Wilhelm was furious, and the wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. The scarlet wine dyed the floor red.

"Oskar, you are seeking death on your own. You forced me to do so. Don't blame me!" Crown Prince Wilhelm drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
