Chapter 67: assassinate
Crown Prince William's patience with Qin Tian has also reached its limit. He regards the throne as his own possession, his own taboo, and absolutely does not allow others to take the throne away. If someone dared to do that, he would use all means to retaliate, even kill him. Even if that person is his own brother.
"Oscar, even though you are my younger brother, you have developed ambitions that you shouldn't have. The throne belongs to me, and you cannot take it away. Since you want to take my throne away, then you obviously didn't take my throne away. As an older brother, I naturally don't need to be lenient." Crown Prince William came up with this lame reason to convince himself. In fact, it was just that he thought that Qin Tian wanted to get his hands on his throne, so he wanted to kill his own brother.
Crown Prince William quickly wrote a letter, and then asked his confidants to send it to Mecklenburg Schwerin and hand it over to his father-in-law Friedrich Franz III. I hope that Friedrich Franz III can send someone to kill Qin Tian. Once Qin Tian died, then naturally no one could compete with him. And his throne is naturally impregnable. As for the other younger brothers, Crown Prince William didn't care at all.
"Oscar must die this time. Only after he dies will my father not teach me a lesson. Only in this way can my throne be stabilized." Crown Prince William said secretly. After repeating this a few times, the hesitation on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by a look of determination. In order to keep his throne, he already regarded Qin Tian as someone who must be killed.
"By the way, Oscar still has so much property. It would be even better if those properties could be taken back after his death. With that money, I can give the navy more money to build warships, and give the army more money. I will be equipped with more advanced weapons. At that time, they will definitely support me wholeheartedly. In future wars, I will definitely defeat the British, French, and Russians, and become a more outstanding emperor than William the Great Yes!" Crown Prince William seemed to be immersed in his own imagination, thinking that he was God, and everything would obey his will.
Crown Prince William was full of jealousy for Qin Tian's possession of so much wealth. Of course he thought about how to arrange it if he could have so much wealth. As for how to earn more wealth, he didn't think about it.
Qin Tian had absolutely no knowledge of what Crown Prince William had done. Although he knew that Crown Prince William was very dissatisfied with him, he did not expect that Crown Prince William would take a desperate approach. After all, this is Germany and Wilhelm II is still alive. With William II's control over the country, there will never be a situation where the crown prince buys murder to assassinate the rest of the princes. If such a thing really happened, it would undoubtedly be a scandal for the entire royal family, and the Hohenzollern family would become the laughing stock of the entire Europe and be ridiculed for a hundred years.
Qin Tian thought that even if Crown Prince William was very upset with him, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, everything he did was aimed at strengthening Germany's military so that it could win future wars. More importantly, William II nodded and acquiesced to all of this. Even King William II acquiesced to Qin Tian's actions, so what else can Crown Prince William say?
When Friedrich Franz III received the letter from Crown Prince William, it was already the night of the second day. When Friedrich Franz III read 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 William means that the status of their family will rise in the future. After all, when Crown Prince William succeeds to the throne and becomes the emperor of the German Empire, he will be able to further strive for more benefits for the family by relying on his father and daughter.
However, everything that was originally conceived now has problems. Qin Tian's sudden rise made Crown Prince William's position somewhat awkward. Although the status of the crown prince makes him still the heir to the throne among the princes. However, the brilliance of Crown Prince William has been completely covered by Qin Tian. Especially in Qin Tianzai who has a huge amount of wealth in his hands, but he didn't indulge in sensuality, but used it to invest in other industries, and even to support the development of the army. This made Qin Tian gain the favor of the military. At the same time, this also poses a direct threat to the status of Crown Prince William.
"Alas! I thought that Cecilia's marriage to Crown Prince William would bring us huge benefits. But now it seems that the risk is too great!" Friedrich Franz III sighed.
Crown Prince William's request really made Friedrich Franz III feel embarrassed. But if they refuse, it will not only make Crown Prince William resentful towards them, but also make their previous investment in Crown Prince William be in vain. Such consequences are also unbearable.
Friedrich Franz III hesitated for a long time before making a decision. He decided to send someone to assassinate Qin Tian. He naively thought that as long as he did it a little more secretly, he would be safe. Even if they are finally revealed, it will be difficult to track them down.
Time passed little by little, and autumn entered in a blink of an eye. In autumn in Germany, the climate is cool. Qin Tian's work was finally free. After the layout of several industries has been completed, he just needs to wait for these companies to grow into towering trees in their respective industries. All this takes time. Once these enterprises really grow up, Qin Tian will own the top industrial group in Germany and even the world.
On October 24th, Qin Tian and Karl left the building of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company. Ready to drive back to Potsdam. While waiting for the driver to drive over, a young man walked over with a map.
"Hello, sir. I am a first-time visitor to Berlin. May I ask how to get from here to the Brandenburg Gate?" the young man asked as he walked.
Qin Tian was about to answer, but suddenly his heart tightened, and the hairs all over his body stood on end, as if a catastrophe was imminent. This feeling made Qin Tian immediately take a step back.
And Karl beside Qin Tian also noticed Qin Tian's abnormality.
Then they noticed that the young man who came up to them and asked for directions was actually holding a pistol in his hand under the map.
