"Your Highness, congratulations." When Oscar returned to his residence at Berlin, Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, the First Sea Lord was still waiting here. It can be seen that he is very happy.
"Your Excellency, thank you for your help. Without your help, I would not have been able to succeed." Oscar looked very humble.
"Your Highness, helping you is helping German Empire Navy and German Empire. I have always believed in this. I believe that you will become an outstanding Monarch and lead German Empire to win the future war." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz is very confident in his own vision.
"Your Excellency, I will do my best to lead German Empire to win the future war." Oscar said solemnly. Now that he has become acting Crown Prince of Germany, then he has no reason to save his power. His fate is already tied to Germany. If Germany loses the war, he will be worthless and even lose his life. Therefore, for himself and for the German Empire, he must try his best in the future war.
Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz nodded. "Your Highness, Your Majesty wants to see you so late. Has it been decided to appoint you as Imperial Crown Prince?"
Oscar smiled helplessly, and then said, "Your Majesty decided to appoint me as acting Crown Prince!"
"Acting Crown Prince?" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz was also stunned. He didn't expect Wilhelm II to make such a decision. Since we decided to let Oscar become Crown Prince, why do we need to add a code in front? Wouldn't that cause Oscar to be dissatisfied?
"Yes, acting Crown Prince. It can be said that my Crown Prince position is only temporary. If Crown Prince Wilhelm wakes up one day and I have not yet sat on the throne, this Crown Prince position will be returned to Crown Prince Wilhelm." Oscar looked helpless.
"What? How could this happen? How could Your Majesty give such a ridiculous order? Why is there such a thing as returning Crown Prince's position? Besides, you are more suitable to lead this empire than Crown Prince Wilhelm. No, I have to ask Your Majesty why he made such a decision." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz looked unhappy.
"Your Excellency, thank you for your support for me. However, since Your Majesty has made such a decision, based on his character, this cannot be changed. If he insists on bringing it forward, it will only have the opposite effect." Oscar stopped Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz.
Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz nodded. Of course he knew Wilhelm II's character very well. "Your Highness, this is so unfair to you!"
"Fair? There is no such thing as fair or unfair in this world. The only thing I can do is to make some achievements in the position of Crown Prince, so as to gain the recognition of everyone and Your Majesty." Oscar said.
"Your Highness, if you think so, that's the best. No matter what, the Navy will be on your side and will always support you." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said happily. He was also worried that Oscar would be dissatisfied with this and do something wrong because of it.
"Thank you Your Excellency! I guarantee that German Empire Navy will definitely become the most powerful navy in the world. In the future station, we will definitely be able to defeat the Germany people." Oscar said confidently. After becoming Crown Prince, he has greater power to promote new equipment within the navy. Submarines and aircraft carriers will become the focus of his implementation in the next stage. In this case, after the war breaks out, German Navy will not only have a powerful and advanced surface ship fleet, but also a first-class underwater submarine force and aviation force. This will give German Navy a greater chance of winning in future wars.
"Your Highness, I know you can do it." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz nodded. He did not think that Oscar was talking nonsense. All along, Oscar has been constantly creating miracles. He believes that Oscar will be able to do what he says this time.
Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz left quickly, but Oscar didn't go to bed for a long time. Although Wilhelm II just appointed him as acting Crown Prince, the word "generation" will impose great constraints on him. But Oscar was still very excited. He jumped from an ordinary Prince to acting Crown Prince with the right to inherit the throne. Once Wilhelm II dies, he can immediately succeed and become German Emperor. As for Crown Prince Wilhelm, who has become a vegetative state, it is not that easy to wake up. After all, the recovery of a vegetative person is a medical miracle.
Becoming acting Crown Prince means that the burden on Oscar's shoulders is even heavier. His and German Empire's fates have been tightly combined. Whether it is for himself or for the German Empire, he needs to do his best so that he can win in the future war. Otherwise, not only Germany will have no future, but he himself will also have no future.
The next day, December 27, German Emperor Wilhelm II issued an edict. In view of Crown Prince Wilhelm being seriously injured and unable to perform the duties of Crown Prince, Oscar was appointed as acting Crown Prince of the German Empire.
Although, it's just acting Crown Prince. But in Germany upper class society, it still caused an uproar. Those lower class people don't care much about this. What they care about is how to fill their stomachs. As for who will be Crown Prince, it has nothing to do with them. Even, there are many people at the bottom who support Oscar to become Crown Prince. Over the years, German Welfare Lottery Company has been committed to social welfare and improving people's livelihood, which has benefited many people. In this regard, they are naturally willing to support Oscar.
There are also many people in the upper class who think Oscar is suitable to become Imperial Crown Prince. After all, Oscar's outstanding talents cannot be questioned. Another group of people are opposed. They hold on to Imperial Succession Law and believe that Wilhelm II's appointment is illegal. It's just that Wilhelm II strongly implemented this order, and no one took the objections of those people to heart.
Within the royal family, opposition has always existed. The happiest ones are undoubtedly Oscar's other three brothers. Especially Eitel? Friedrich Prince, who is the second Prince, strongly opposes the appointment of Oscar as Crown Prince. After Crown Prince Wilhelm's accident, he was eagerly waiting to be succeeded as Crown Prince. Unexpectedly, he was actually cut off by Oscar, which was naturally unacceptable to him.
However, these Prince had to be honest after being severely scolded by Wilhelm II. And Oscar has officially become acting Crown Prince of the German Empire.
