"Okay, I already know everyone's opinions. I will think about it carefully. Tomorrow, I will formally notify everyone of my decision." Wilhelm II said. After fully understanding the opinions of the ministers, Wilhelm II has undoubtedly made a decision in his mind.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the ministers said one after another.

Moltke the Younger saw that Wilhelm II had made a decision. Although he felt unwilling to do so, he still said nothing in the end. He knew that if he talked too much, it would only arouse Wilhelm II's resentment.

Moltke the Younger knows the character of Wilhelm II very well and knows that he is a headstrong and conceited person. Once a decision is made, it cannot be questioned by others. Otherwise, he will regard it as a provocation to himself. Moltke the Younger knows that the reason why he is able to reach this point is entirely because of Wilhelm II's trust in him. Otherwise, he would never have had such a day. Therefore, following Wilhelm II and avoiding offending Wilhelm II has always been his style and principle.

After all the ministers left, Wilhelm II leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

"The navy and part of the army support Oskar. It seems that Oskar's successor as Crown Prince is already expected by everyone." Wilhelm II said.

Although, he still had some doubts about it, and a little bit of resistance. However, he knows that for the benefit of the empire, it is undoubtedly the best choice for Oscar to take over and become Imperial Crown Prince. Oscar is qualified in all aspects for the position of Crown Prince.

"Essen, ask someone to find Oskar. I want to see him!" Wilhelm II ordered.

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

After receiving the notice from the palace, Oscar rushed to the palace immediately. Although, Imperial Council has just ended. However, the specific content Oscar already knows. He knew that Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz had given him strong support at the meeting, which moved him very much. In addition, Feng Falkenhayn's critical support allowed Wilhelm II to make the final decision. There was also Moltke the Younger's attack on him, which Oscar also knew clearly. He kept these in mind. Once he becomes Crown Prince, he will be gradually liquidated.

"Moltke the Younger, at this time, you actually made such an unwise choice. When the time comes, you will be the one to look good." Oscar secretly made up his mind.

In Oscar's opinion, Moltke the Younger is simply not suitable to serve as Chief of General Staff. It was precisely because of his modifications to Schlieffen Plan that German military was unable to quickly open up the situation at the beginning of the war in another time and space, and fell into a deadlock, causing Germany to be dragged to death in the end. If given the chance, he would definitely replace Moltke the Younger and replace him with a qualified and competent Chief of General Staff.

After arriving at the palace, Oscar went directly to Wilhelm II's office. From Essen? Feng? Jonath, he knew that Wilhelm II had been waiting for him after Imperial Council ended.

"Father Emperor, I'm here." Oscar stood in front of Wilhelm II.

"Oskar, sit down!" Wilhelm II pointed to the sofa in front of him.

Oscar was sitting on the sofa, waiting for Wilhelm II's next instructions. He knew that if he wanted to become Crown Prince, today's meeting with Wilhelm II should be the final word.

"Oskar, Prince fell off the horse, so that they can no longer perform the duties of Crown Prince. The empire needs a new Crown Prince. Almost all ministers think that you are suitable to become the empire's new Crown Prince. What do you think of this?" Wilhelm II stared at Oscar with burning eyes.

"Father Emperor, the eldest brother fell from his horse and has not yet woken up. This is undoubtedly a disaster for the empire. I have been praying to God that he can wake up. I believe that God will definitely bless the eldest brother. As for the position of Crown Prince, everything is controlled by Father Emperor will decide. If Father Emperor has a more suitable candidate, I will try my best to assist. I promise that whether I can become Crown Prince or not, I will contribute my strength to the empire." Oscar knows that there is no more suitable candidate in the empire now.

Wilhelm II nodded. "Oskar, I very much recognize your ability. Your conduct is also very good. It can be said that you are a perfect candidate for Crown Prince. However, it is precisely because of this, but it makes me a little suspicious. You know, you were not like this two years ago. At that time, you seemed to be withdrawn and mean. But in a blink of an eye, you seemed to have changed. This makes me very confused."

"Father Emperor, a person has to grow up. Especially men, they must learn to take their own responsibilities. It was precisely because I understood this that I changed." Oscar replied calmly.

Of course Oscar would not tell Wilhelm II that there was a soul from more than a hundred years later in Prince Oskar's body. In this case, he would not be allowed to use it for slice research, or even be tied to the stake and burned alive! Anyway, as long as he refuses to admit it to the point of death, there is nothing anyone else can do to him.

Wilhelm II frowned, and after a while his brows relaxed. It seems that he agrees with the statement Oscar.

"Oskar, no matter what, you are my son. I hope you can fight for the empire. Only when the empire is strong can we, the masters of the empire, enjoy our current life and power. Once the empire is destroyed, everything we have will cease to exist." Wilhelm II said with sincerity.

"Yes, Father Emperor!" Oscar tried hard to control the joy in his heart and tried to make his expression look as calm as possible.

Wilhelm II nodded. "Oskar, I hope you can really do it."

Then, Wilhelm II continued, "After comprehensively considering the opinions of the ministers, I decided to make you the acting Crown Prince of the empire."

"Acting Crown Prince?" Oscar was stunned, Crown Prince is just Crown Prince, why is there such a thing as acting Crown Prince? Is it possible that Wilhelm II wants to continue testing him?

"Oskar, Crown Prince's position belongs to Prince after all. Even if he does something wrong, he is still your big brother after all. I hope that one day he can If you wake up, you can return Crown Prince's position to him. Of course, if he hasn't woken up when I'm reincarnated, then everything will be over." Wilhelm II said.

Once he dies, Oscar will definitely succeed and become the emperor of the empire. By then, even if Crown Prince Wilhelm wakes up, Oscar will not be able to return the throne to Crown Prince Wilhelm. All levels of the empire would not allow such a thing to happen. After all, the change of throne is no child's play.
