Jagged Germany

"Father, isn't it inappropriate to transfer the Royal Shipyard to Oscar at such a low price! This has had a considerable impact on the interests of the royal family. Not to mention, you promised to lend him a loan Twenty million marks. In the end, he was allowed to pay with the battleships he built. In the history of the German Empire, there has never been such a precedent!" Crown Prince William looked angry and unwilling.

  King William II transferred the Royal Shipyard to Qin Tian, ​​and loaned Qin Tian a huge sum of money, but he did not inform anyone else. However, as the crown prince, Crown Prince William was still able to know these things through his own channels. And this naturally made him very unwilling and dissatisfied.

  In the view of Crown Prince William, William II is clearly supporting Qin Tian with all his strength. Once Qin Tian succeeds in the shipbuilding field, especially if the designed battleship is successfully built and proves to be excellent in performance, Qin Tian's prestige will inevitably increase, and he will even gain the support of the navy. In this case, it will have a huge impact on his succession to the throne.

  Crown Prince William believes that William II's support for Qin Tian in the recent period is too great. This made him very jealous. Even as the crown prince, he has never received such great support!

  William II gave Crown Prince William a cold look. He was becoming more and more dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. Of course, this does not mean that he intends to replace the crown prince. After all, Crown Prince William is the first heir to the throne, and it is impossible to replace him without making any major mistakes. In particular, William II still loves this eldest son very much, and still has great expectations for him.

   "Prince, as the crown prince of the empire, as Oscar's elder brother, are you so incapable? If you are narrow-minded, how can you command the empire?" William II looked like he hated iron.

   "Ah! Father, I'm not jealous of Oscar, I'm just thinking about the interests of the royal family." Crown Prince William quickly explained. He did not expect that William II would be so tough on this issue that he would not tolerate any doubts from others. Of course, this also made Crown Prince William even more resentful towards Qin Tian. If it wasn't for Qin Tian, ​​he wouldn't have been reprimanded by William II. You know, from childhood to adulthood, the number of times he was reprimanded by William II is one of the few.

"Hmph! Prince, I have told you many times that as the crown prince of the empire, you must have a broad mind. A person's talents are always limited. The development and prosperity of the empire requires Rely on a large number of elites and the people of the empire. If you are narrow-minded, how can you make those elites willingly work for you? How can you convince the public? I hope you will think about it, reflect on it, and get rid of these bad habits in the future!" William II said earnestly. He naturally hopes that his successor can lead the entire empire to become stronger and stronger, instead of winning and declining. Therefore, he will do his best to train Crown Prince William to be a qualified heir.

   "Yes, Father, I understand!" Crown Prince William said with his head down.

  Of course, it is very difficult to say how much William II can listen to these words. Crown Prince William has inherited William II's self-willed and conceited character very well, and he doesn't listen to many other people's opinions. Even if it was his father, the emperor of the German Empire, who advised him, it was the same. Such people are often self-centered. Even if you really did something wrong, you will only blame others, not yourself.

  If it wasn't because he was the eldest son of William II and had better luck than other princes, he might not be the crown prince of Germany at all! His ability was not much stronger than other princes.

"Don't mention the matter of the Royal Shipyard in the future. A medium-sized shipyard that has been losing money year after year can be transferred at a price of 50 million marks. It is better to use money to subsidize the interests of the royal family. As for the loan to Oscar, it is also calculated as interest. As for the battleship built by Oscar as the next-level battleship of the navy, there is a prerequisite. That is to build The battleships in China must be really powerful battleships, and they must be able to meet the design data. If not, I will certainly not allow those battleships to be the next-level battleships of the navy. All the funds spent must be It was paid by Oscar. In charge of it, with the profitability of Deutsche Welfare Lottery, this is nothing at all.

  If the performance of the battleships built by Oscar is indeed very good, it will be very beneficial to enhance the strength of the German Navy. After all, our enemy is too powerful, we must take all means to have the possibility of defeating our enemy. Those battleships built by Oscar will become an opportunity for us, and we must seize it. What's more, even if it fails, we have no loss at all. "

  In order to dissipate the jealousy in Crown Prince William's heart, William II still explained.

  Crown Prince William nodded, he naturally knew that Crown Prince William did this for the benefit of the German Empire. However, in his heart he was dissatisfied with Qin Tian's continuous success, and he even had a vague feeling that if Qin Tian was allowed to continue to develop, it would definitely pose any threat to his throne. It's just that, in front of William II, he didn't dare to show it anymore. Compared with Qin Tian, ​​who has already shown outstanding talents in the fields of commerce and shipbuilding, his only advantage may be his status as crown prince and the favor of William II.

  If he loses the favor of William II, how can he compete with Qin Tian!

  Crown Prince William was lectured by William II for more than an hour before he found a reason to leave.

  After returning to his room, the smile on Crown Prince William's face disappeared immediately. Instead, there was a ferocious face, making that handsome face look so fierce.

"Damn it! Father is too partial to actually support that guy Oscar. Oscar can no longer be allowed to continue to develop. Otherwise, the world will only know that there is an outstanding prince Oscar in the royal family, and they don't know about me, the German Empire. Crown Prince." William II had a grim expression on his face.

  Qin Tian's continuous success has indeed made William II feel a great sense of crisis.
