Crown Prince Wilhelm's patience with Oscar has also reached its limit. He regards the throne as his own, and he will never allow others to take the throne away. If someone dares to do that, he will use all means to retaliate, even kill the other person. Even if that person is his biological brother.

"Oskar, even though you are my younger brother, you have ambitions that you shouldn't have. The throne is mine and you can't take it away. Since you want to take away my throne, you clearly don't regard me as your brother, so I naturally don't need to be merciful anymore." Crown Prince Wilhelm came up with this lame reason to convince himself. In fact, he just thought that Oscar wanted to get involved in his throne, so he wanted to kill his biological brother.

Crown Prince Wilhelm quickly wrote a letter, and then asked his confidant to send it to Mecklenburg Schwerin and give it to his father-in-law Friedrich Franz III. I hope Friedrich? Franz III can send someone to kill Oscar. Once Oscar dies, no one will be able to compete with him. And his throne is naturally impregnable. As for the other younger brothers, Crown Prince Wilhelm didn't take them seriously at all.

"Oskar must die this time. Only if he dies, Father Emperor will not teach me a lesson. Only in this way can my throne be stable." Crown Prince Wilhelm said secretly. After repeating this several times, the hesitation on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by a look of determination. In order to keep his throne, he has regarded Oscar as the person who must be killed.

"By the way, Oskar still has so much property. It would be better if those properties could be seized after his death. With that money, I can give the navy more money to build warships and equip the army with more advanced weapons. When the time comes, they will definitely support me wholeheartedly. In future wars, I will definitely defeat Britain and French, as well as Russians, will become a more outstanding emperor than Wilhelm the Great! "Crown Prince Wilhelm seems to be immersed in his own imagination, thinking that he is God and everything will obey his will.

Crown Prince Wilhelm is full of jealousy for Oscar having so much wealth in his hands. Of course he thought about how he would arrange it if he could have so much wealth. As for how to earn more wealth, he has not considered it.

Oscar has no idea what Crown Prince Wilhelm has done. Although he knew that Crown Prince Wilhelm was very dissatisfied with him, he did not expect that Crown Prince Wilhelm would take such desperate measures. After all, this is Germany, and Wilhelm II is still here. With Wilhelm II's control over the country, Crown Prince will never be allowed to hire assassins to assassinate the remaining Prince. If such a thing really happens, it will undoubtedly be a scandal for the entire royal family. Hohenzollern family will become the laughing stock of the entire Europe and will be laughed at for a hundred years.

Oscar thinks that even if Crown Prince Wilhelm is unhappy with him, there is nothing he can do about it. After all, everything he did was to enhance Germany's military strength so that Germany could win future wars. More importantly, Wilhelm II nodded and acquiesced to all this. Wilhelm II already acquiesced to Oscar doing this, what else can Crown Prince Wilhelm say?

Friedrich? Franz III, when he received the letter from Crown Prince Wilhelm, it was already the night of the next day. When Friedrich? Franz III finished reading the entire letter, he locked himself in the office.

As the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Schwerin, Friedrich Franz III was undoubtedly an important member of the upper class in Germany. Marrying his daughter to Crown Prince Wilhelm means that their family's status will rise in the future. After all, when Crown Prince Wilhelm succeeds to the throne and becomes Emperor of the German Empire, he will be able to further strive for more benefits for the family by relying on the father and daughter.

However, everything that was originally planned has now gone wrong. The sudden rise of Oscar has made Crown Prince Wilhelm's position somewhat embarrassing. Although Crown Prince's identity makes him still the heir to the throne among all Prince. However, the light of Crown Prince Wilhelm has been completely overshadowed by Oscar. Especially in Oscar has mastered huge wealth, but he did not indulge in sexual activities, but used it to invest in other industries and even support the development of the military. This makes Oscar gain the favor of the military. At the same time, this also poses a direct threat to the status of Crown Prince Wilhelm.

"Alas! I originally thought that Cecilia marrying Crown Prince Wilhelm would bring us huge benefits. But now it seems that the risk is too great!" Friedrich? Franz III sighed.

Crown Prince Wilhelm's request really embarrassed Friedrich? Franz III. But if they refuse, not only will Crown Prince Wilhelm be resentful of them, but all their previous investment in Crown Prince Wilhelm will be in vain. Such consequences are also unbearable.

Friedrich? Franz III made a decision after hesitating for a long time. He decided to send someone to assassinate Oscar. He naively believed that as long as he did it secretly, he would be foolproof. Even if they are eventually exposed, it will be difficult to trace them.

Time passed little by little, and autumn entered in a blink of an eye. Germany in autumn, the climate is cool. The work of Oscar is finally free. After completing the layout in several industries, he only needs to wait for these companies to grow into towering trees in their respective industries. All this takes time. Once these companies really grow up, Oscar will have Germany and even the world's top industrial groups.

On October 24, Oscar and Karl left German Welfare Lottery Company's building. Prepare to take the bus back to Potsdam. While waiting for the driver to drive over, a young man came over holding a map.

"Hello, sir, I am a first-time visitor to Berlin. How can I get from here to Brandenburg Gate?" the young man asked as he walked.

Oscar was about to answer, but suddenly his heart tightened and all the hairs on his body stood up, as if a disaster was about to happen. This feeling made Oscar take a step back immediately.

And Karl, who was next to Oscar, also discovered something unusual about Oscar.

They then noticed that the young man who approached them and asked for directions actually held a pistol in his hand under the map.
