Chapter 137: Immortal
?? "His Royal Highness..." Von Falkenhain was very anxious and wanted to prevent Qin Tian from using the succession to the throne as a bet.
??Little Mao Qi and Plittwitz couldn't help flashing a gleam of joy in their eyes. Pulling Qin Tian down from the position of crown prince was what they longed for. However, they originally thought they had no chance. But he never expected that Qin Tian would take the initiative to use the crown prince as a guarantee. This is undoubtedly a god-sent opportunity! As long as the 8th Army fails to withstand the Russian attack in future wars, then Qin Tian will definitely resign as Crown Prince on his own initiative.
??If you can't become the crown prince, you won't be able to inherit the throne, but you're just an ordinary prince. Xiao Maoqi and Plitvich naturally no longer need to be afraid of Qin Tian's revenge on them. All the worries in their hearts naturally dissipated.
??Little Mao Qi and Plitvice had already made up their minds. Once the war breaks out, it will definitely cause Qin Angel a lot of stumbling blocks. Let the 8th Army be defeated by the Russians in the war as much as possible. In this case, Qin Tian will lose.
??In the eyes of both of them, personal interests are undoubtedly the most important. As for national interests, these need to be put on the back burner.
??William II sat on his throne and saw all this in his eyes. He took a deep look at Mao Qi and Plitvice, and then said to Qin Tian: "Oscar, have you thought it through? You can't joke about these things."
??King William II knew very well that Qin Tian was a person who never fought unprepared battles. If he dares to make such a decision, then he must be sure. However, this is about the succession to the throne of the German Empire! No one is taking this lightly.
?? "Father, I'm not joking, I've already thought it through." Qin Tian replied solemnly.
??King William II nodded: "Okay, let's do it according to His Highness the Crown Prince's opinion! If the Eighth Army fails to withstand the Russian attack in future wars, he will resign as the Crown Prince."
??Hearing what William II said, Little Mao Qi and Plittwitz couldn't help but smile on their faces.
?? "Father, now that I have made such a promise. Then, can the reform of the military system of the 8th Army continue?" Qin Tian asked. He placed such a big bet, isn't it for the continued advancement of the military system reform? Of course, it seemed like Qin Tian was taking a risk. But Qin Tian believed that the 8th Army, which had completed the reform of the military system and was equipped with new weapons, would undergo a radical change. Combat power will be greatly improved. At that time, let alone resisting the Russian attack, even if it is to defeat the Russians, it is not impossible. As long as he can win, Qin Tian will naturally fulfill his promise, and no one will ask him to resign as the Crown Prince.
?? "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, what do you think?" William II looked at Little Mao Qi.
"Your Majesty, since His Highness is so confident, let His Highness carry out the reform of the military system in the Eighth Army. If it can be successful, it will be a great thing, and it can even be promoted in the entire army." Xiao Maoqi's expression was serious. smile.
??Although he said so, in fact, he clearly thought that Qin Tian had no chance of winning. Although the combat effectiveness of the Russians is terrible, they have a lot of troops! The standing army of more than one million troops, once mobilized, can expand the number of troops to five or six million, or even more. Even if it is just the standing army launching an attack, it cannot be resisted by the hundreds of thousands of people in the 8th Army.
?? "Since this is the case, then let this matter be like this!" William II said.
?? "Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone replied.
??Everyone left the office of William II one after another, but Qin Tian was left behind.
"Oscar, you were too impulsive just now. I don't know, how did this happen between you and little Maoqi? You are the crown prince of the empire and my son. Little Maoqi is the chief of staff of the Imperial Army, and even more so, I Playmates from childhood to adulthood. Your relationship is very stiff, which makes it difficult for me." William II looked distressed.
"Father, I have always wanted to improve the relationship with the Chief of Staff. I even proposed to name the second-tier battlecruiser the 'Moltke-class' battlecruiser in order to ease the relationship. But It's a pity that the Chief of Staff seems to have a prejudice against him, and has been looking for trouble for me. Now, he is pressing harder and harder. I have no choice but to stand up and fight." Qin Tian looked very innocent.
"Well, well, let you go. However, this time you take the succession to the throne as a bet, are you really sure? Once you fail, you will never have a chance to go back on your word." William II I'm a little worried.
"Don't worry, father, this is the result of my deliberation. I believe that after the reform of the military system, the combat effectiveness of the 8th Army, which has been replaced with new weapons, will be doubled. Even if the Russians cannot be defeated, but insist on six In eight weeks, there should be no problem." Qin Tian seemed very confident.
??King William II nodded. If Qin Tian could really do it, it would be great. However, if Qin Tian can't do it, even if he is the emperor, it's not easy to show favoritism on this issue.
??William II finally gained some confidence in Qin Tian after learning about the content of the military system reform and the weapons and equipment of all levels of troops from Qin Tian in detail. He thought that Qin Tian might really be able to create miracles.
??Of course, this is not enough, and it is also necessary to prevent others from using other malicious means. William II also made up his mind, if Little Maoqi took the initiative to make trouble again, he would never tolerate it again.
??Qin Tian didn't stay in the palace for long, he still needed to go to the German Arms Company and urge them to produce the weapons and equipment needed by the 8th Army as soon as possible. After making such a bet, Qin Tian has no way to turn back, and can only go one way to the dark. Therefore, he must do his best.
??Of course, in Qin Tian's heart, he also hated the little Mao Qi who kept getting him into trouble.
"Little Maoqi, this time, we are going to die forever. When the 8th Army defeats the Russians, I will see what you have to say. At that time, I will make you unable to be the chief of the general staff. Don't even think about keeping it!" Qin Tian swore secretly.
??Qin Tian is not a saint in the first place, it is impossible for someone to slap him on the left cheek, and he still sends his face up. Little Maoqi and Plitvice treated him like this, so he naturally wanted revenge.
