For German Navy, if Oscar can become Crown Prince, it will undoubtedly be the best result. Oscar has given the Navy so much help and support. Once Oscar becomes Crown Prince, it can be foreseen that Oscar will definitely provide more support to the navy.

Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz even believes that no one is more suitable to become Imperial Crown Prince than Oscar. This is in the best interest of Germany.

However, everyone knows that it is undoubtedly very difficult for Oscar to surpass several other Princes and become Crown Prince. First of all, Imperial Succession Law is not a decoration. There are still many stubborn people who believe that this law must be followed. Secondly, Wilhelm II's attitude is also very important. If Wilhelm II's attitude is to firmly deny it, and Oscar wants to become Crown Prince, then it will have to launch a coup. And this is almost impossible to succeed. Oscar As long as his head wasn't caught in the door, he wouldn't have done that.

"Your Highness, no matter what, the navy is your strongest supporter. We sincerely hope that you can become the empire's Crown Prince and lead the entire empire to a more glorious future." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said with a sincere face.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your support of me. If I really have the opportunity to lead this empire, I will definitely do my best to bring everyone the victory that everyone expects." Oscar also gave Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz a guarantee. At this time, the support of the military was also very important to him. He could not disappoint the military people either emotionally or rationally.

Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz nodded with satisfaction, a smile on his face. Oscar's answer was undoubtedly what he wanted.

Time passed little by little, and two days later, the subsequent development of the Crown Prince Wilhelm horse crash incident gradually became clear.

Essen? Feng? Jonath reported the results of the investigation to Wilhelm II, as well as Royal Hospital's diagnosis of Crown Prince Wilhelm's condition.

"Your Majesty, according to our investigation, it is certain that Crown Prince Wilhelm's fall from the horse was a complete accident. Crown Prince riding a horse while drunk is inherently very dangerous. In addition, the horse's front foot fell into a snow pit., causing it to break, so that Crown Prince was thrown out and his head hit the stone. If it was a human design, it would be impossible to make everything so perfect, "Essen? Feng? Jonath said.

Wilhelm II nodded. "Poor Prince! It seems that all this is really an accident."

Wilhelm II expresses sympathy for Crown Prince Wilhelm's experience. At the same time, a lot of the worries in my heart also dissipated. At least, the worst-case scenario didn't happen. That is Oscar's revenge on Crown Prince Wilhelm. This is where Wilhelm II feels gratified.

"What does Royal Hospital say? Can Prince be cured?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Your Majesty and Royal Hospital have been rescued and Crown Prince is out of danger. However, Crown Prince has been in a coma because of the impact on his head." Essen? Feng? Jonath said.

"So, when will Crown Prince wake up?" Wilhelm II asked.

"I'm afraid it's hard to say. Royal Hospital's conclusion is that they are not sure when Crown Prince will wake up. Because there is congestion in his head, which compresses his nerves."

"Okay, Essen, you just need to tell me whether Crown Prince might wake up." Wilhelm II interrupted Essen? Feng? Jonath's long speech.

"Your Majesty, the final conclusion of the hospital is that the possibility of Crown Prince waking up is very small. I am afraid that he will continue to sleep like this and become a vegetative state. Of course, we do not rule out the possibility of a miracle happening and Crown Prince will suddenly wake up." Essen? Feng? Jonath said.

"Vegetative state? Prince will become a vegetative state?" Wilhelm II's face became quite ugly. Such a result is undoubtedly difficult for him to accept.

"Your Majesty..." Essen? Feng? Jonath still wanted to persuade, but was stopped by Wilhelm II.

"Okay, Essen, you don't need to say anymore, I already know it. Don't worry, such a blow can't knock me down!" Wilhelm II said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Essen? Feng? Jonath nodded.

"Essen, you go inform Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, the chief of general staff, First Sea Lord and Minister of War, to convene Imperial Council tonight!" Wilhelm II said with a dark face.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Essen? Feng? Jonath knows the purpose of Wilhelm II convening Imperial Council. Since Crown Prince Wilhelm cannot wake up, naturally he can no longer perform the duties of Crown Prince. Then, now you have to choose another Crown Prince. German Empire cannot live without Crown Prince.

After Essen? Feng? Jonath left, a trace of sadness flashed in Wilhelm II's eyes. As a father, he felt very uncomfortable watching his son become a vegetative state. However, as an emperor, he does not have time to pay attention to the love between his children. He needs to focus on the overall situation.

"Is Oskar a suitable candidate for Crown Prince? If he is allowed to become Crown Prince, then I am afraid he will encounter great resistance. However, I have to admit that Oskar is indeed the best choice among the many Princes." Wilhelm II frowned.

Oskar is his fifth son. After Crown Prince Wilhelm became a vegetable, he still had three sons ahead of him. It is not that difficult to overcome these Prince and become the Crown Prince of the German Empire.

Of course, if Wilhelm II can make up his mind and strongly support Oscar to become Crown Prince of the German Empire, even if it is difficult, it will definitely be achieved in the end.

"What if Oskar becomes Crown Prince and Prince wakes up again in the future?" Thinking that this possibility indeed exists, Wilhelm II can't help but feel even more headache. Regarding Crown Prince Wilhelm's fall from the horse, Wilhelm II felt a little guilty. If the Crown Prince position of Crown Prince Wilhelm is taken away, and Crown Prince Wilhelm wakes up again in the future, it will probably be even more difficult to explain.

"Damn, how could this happen? Why would such an embarrassing thing happen?" Wilhelm II was speechless.

However, the matter has come to this, and Wilhelm II has no other option. With Crown Prince Wilhelm in a coma, this position of Crown Prince cannot always be reserved for him. German Empire needs a Crown Prince to ensure the stability of the country. Let the subjects of the empire believe that the future of the empire is still unlimited.
