Germanic Empire: please call me William III

Thanks to book friends** for the tip!
Prince Etter Frederick did not hesitate much time, and he made a choice in his mind.
For him, the throne was so important that it almost enchanted him.
If Auguste had not been killed, he would not have had a chance to succeed to the throne. Or, when Augustus’s heirs were born, even if Augustus was killed, the throne could not fall on his head.
So, he only had one chance. This time, it must be successful.
“Well, I’m willing to work with you. If I ascend to the throne, your interests will be guaranteed! Prince Etter Frederick gritted his teeth.
The middle-aged man’s face couldn’t help but show a smile.
“Very well, Your Royal Highness, you have made the right choice! I believe that the future empire will become stronger under our rule. And you will become one of the most outstanding emperors in the history of the Empire. The middle-aged man said.
Prince Etel Friedrich also had a smile on his face, as if he were already dreaming of the future when he became emperor.
“Your Royal Highness, go back and wait for the good news!” After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he drank the beer in the cup and got up and left the tavern.
Prince Etter Frederick did not stay long in the tavern and soon left as well.
Bai Lin, in a palatial official residence.
A middle-aged man is reporting to an old man with gray hair.
“Your Excellency, His Royal Highness Prince Etter Frederick has agreed to cooperate with us. However, he was a man of great ambition and talent, and he had no talent. If he were to become emperor, would he really be able to make the empire continue to be strong? Middle-aged people were a little incredulous.
“Without talent, ambition is the best choice.” If he had the same talent as His Majesty William III, we would not have chosen him as a partner. The more incompetent he is, the easier it is for us to control the country! The old man said.
The middle-aged man nodded: “Your Excellency, can we really succeed this time?” Although, many people in the officer corps supported us. However, His Majesty William III was very influential among ordinary soldiers and junior officers, even among middle-ranking officers, and even gained their admiration. Even among the senior generals, there were many people who supported him. ”
The old man shook his head: “All this is based on the personal prestige of His Majesty William III. As long as you get rid of him, everything will be very easy. We did this not only for our own benefit, but for the entire Germanic Empire. His Majesty William III was preparing for war, and he had put too much power into the navy to challenge the Imperial Royal Navy. How could this possibly succeed! If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. The army is the foundation of the empire, and only when the army is strong can it ensure the stability and security of the empire. So, we have to get the Empire back on track. Only then will the Empire be saved! ”
The middle-aged man nodded his head, and his eyes became more and more determined.
“Well, you go back and prepare according to the plan!” This time, we must succeed! The old man said.
“Yes, Sir!” The middle-aged man then left.
This old man, no one else, was None other than The Imperial Minister of War, Admiral Heringen.
Although, in front of August, he has always been a promise, and his orders to August are also completed to the letter.
However, in his heart, he was very dissatisfied with Auguste’s vigorous development of the navy and the investment of a large amount of financial and material resources to develop the navy.
In his opinion, with the strength of the Germanic Empire, it was simply delusional to challenge the Empire of the Sun Never Setting, and it was too difficult. The Germanic Empire should vigorously develop the army and further strengthen the army in order to ensure that the Germanic Empire can defeat the Gaul and Tsarist Empires and ensure the supremacy of the Germanic Empire on the European continent.
August’s decision was completely wrong.
Even if Auguste was also vigorously developing the army, in the eyes of Admiral Hellingen, this was completely insufficient.
Coupled with Auguste’s reform of the Army, although it made the Army’s command system more efficient and faster. However, this cost the Junkers officer corps dearly. This further seriously damaged the interests of the Junkers Officer Corps. The influence of the Junkers officer corps in the military is in constant decline.
From the time of the Kingdom of Prussia, the Junker officer corps had been a pillar of the kingdom and had unparalleled influence in the army.
Even the king depended on the Junker corps.
By the time of the Germanic Empire, the Junker corps had also developed tremendously, and its influence had further expanded.
But now, Auguste has used a large number of generals and officers from civilian origins to replace the generals and officers of the Junkers Officer Corps, so that they can retire in advance.
This was absolutely unacceptable to General Hellingen and many of the generals of the Junker Corps.
“Your Majesty William III, for our own sake and for the sake of the Empire, I can only be sorry for you!” Admiral Heringen’s expression was equally determined.
On April 8, 1712, the Germanic Emperor Auguste left the naval base in the port of Kiel in a special train and returned to Pellin.
By the afternoon, the special train had reached Pellerberg, which was only more than a hundred kilometers away from Bo lin.
Just then, a loud explosion sounded over the railway.
“Boom!”
In the midst of the violent explosion, several carriages in the special train were blown away, directly blowing up into scrap iron.
The remaining special trains were also thrown away by great power and fell below the roadbed.
On the entire railway, a huge crater appeared.
At the time of the explosion, Auguste was in the carriage of a special train handling government affairs.
He only felt the mountain shaking under his feet, and there was a loud noise in his ears, and the whole person flew up and smashed the carriage. Then, it fell down as if the bones on his body had been broken.
On the forehead, a slit was hung out, and the blood flowed.
“Someone is going to kill me!” August was aware of the problem almost instantly.
He had no idea that in the Germanic Empire, someone would actually try to assassinate him.
However, when the explosion ended, he found that he had only suffered a slight injury and had not been killed.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time his face became very ugly.
