Chapter 0003: The Emperor's Fury

William II himself may not have anticipated that Qin Tian would dare to utter such words, and he was momentarily taken aback

This fool actually dared to refuse His Majesty the Emperor in such a manner, simply courting death. Crown Prince William was overjoyed in his heart

Oscar, what exactly are you thinking? You are a prince of the German Empire, a direct descendant of the Hohenzollern family. Do you wish to bring shame upon the great Hohenzollern family and the German royal family through your actions?

If he were to say this, he would certainly be regarded by Wilhelm II as the ramblings of a madman

On the face of Wilhelm II, an anger that could not be suppressed was evident, and from the depths of his eyes, Qintian could clearly see his disappointment. It was apparent that in Wilhelm II's eyes, Qintian had completely become a coward lacking ambition, even evading his responsibilities and obligations.

"Oscar, do you have any thoughts on this? If you really do not want to attend the Kiel Naval Academy, you could consider other academies. How about the Army Academy?" asked Wilhelm II.

Father, I no longer wish to attend university; I want to do something on my own.

Father, I do not wish to attend the Kiel Naval Academy!" Qin Tian looked calmly at Wilhelm II.

William II roared in anger, trembling with rage. He simply could not bear the fact that among his own sons, there was such a person.

As soon as Qin Tian uttered this sentence, the expressions on the faces of Wilhelm II and Crown Prince Wilhelm instantly became quite remarkable

However, Qin Tian did not want to attend the Kiel Naval Academy and waste four years of his time. Four years were already sufficient for him to accomplish many things. Not to mention, it was entirely possible to accumulate a considerable amount of wealth. In that case, even if Germany ultimately could not avoid defeat, he could at least live comfortably as a wealthy man with that wealth.

Moreover, being well-versed in the development of future history is also Qin Tian's greatest secret, which he would certainly not disclose. If someone were to discover that the body of Prince Oscar already housed another's soul, who knows what Wilhelm II would do; he might very well have him killed.

The ambitions of Wilhelm II ultimately ended in failure, entirely due to the overwhelming strength of his opponents. Although Germany was an emerging power, it was impossible to contend with established powers such as Britain and France, while also facing the newly risen power of the United States, which dealt a critical blow to Germany at a decisive moment, making victory unattainable for Germany in the war

Despite the fact that Crown Prince William looks down upon his reclusive brother from the depths of his heart and does not believe that Prince Oscar poses any threat to his throne, the idea of keeping Prince Oscar underfoot, with no chance of ever rising again, is undoubtedly something he is very pleased to see

A trace of displeasure flashed across Wilhelm II's face, but he concealed it well. He waved his hand to stop the incessant chatter of Crown Prince Wilhelm

"Oscar, go back to your room. I do not care what you think. In one week, you must report to the Kiel Naval Academy, and even if you are just going to mess around, you must stay there for a full four years. During this time, without my permission, you absolutely cannot return to the palace!" Wilhelm II angrily issued the order

Among the numerous monarchs in Europe, the power of the German Emperor is undoubtedly significant. Although it cannot be compared to that of the Chinese Emperor, it is nonetheless supreme. Particularly within the royal family, no one is able to defy his will

Qin Tian opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but in the end, he did not say a word. He certainly could not tell Wilhelm II that if Germany continued to develop at this pace, no matter how much it prepared for war, it would never be a match for countries like Britain, France, and the United States, and would ultimately be dragged down to its demise.

Under the gaze of Wilhelm II, Qin Tian immediately felt an immense pressure

Hmm? Wilhelm II could not help but furrow his brow

"Oscar, what are you planning to do? This is your father's arrangement for your future; how can you refuse? Such words from you completely betray your father's good intentions." Crown Prince William immediately jumped out, vehemently accusing Qin Tian, as if Qin Tian had committed some unforgivable crime.

However, a hint of a smile soon appeared at the corner of his mouth

You have truly disappointed me. Your brothers have either already joined the military or are about to enlist. As a member of the German royal family, it is our destiny to serve the interests of the German Empire, even if it means dying on the battlefield. And now, you are so cowardly that you have brought shame upon the German royal family.

Qin Tian knows that Wilhelm II is a man of his word; once he has made a decision, it is very difficult for others to change it

However, Qin Tian now can no longer afford to consider so much

Therefore, Qin Tian must reject the decision of Wilhelm II. Although he knows the consequences of doing so, if things go awry, it could provoke the wrath of Wilhelm II.

Qin Tian looked at Wilhelm II, a middle-aged man who exuded both authority and a hint of kindness, ambitious yet somewhat overreaching in his capabilities. Although Wilhelm II was somewhat obstinate and self-opinionated, it must be acknowledged that he was also a very distinguished monarch

After a brief moment of astonishment, Crown Prince William felt a sense of schadenfreude. He had not anticipated that Qin Tian would succumb to depravity even more than he had hoped. With this in mind, he could almost conclude that Qin Tian would pose no threat to him for the rest of his life

As the Crown Prince of the German Empire and the first heir to the throne, he certainly hoped that his brothers would all be incompetent individuals. Such a scenario would undoubtedly highlight his own abilities. At the same time, his throne would be completely secure, without the worry of being usurped by these brothers. Of course, the likelihood of such a possibility is very small. Unless he were to die young or Germany were to perish, it is almost a foregone conclusion that he would succeed to the position of Emperor of Germany.

This fool seems truly beyond redemption. However, this is actually a good thing for me. In light of our brotherhood, when you find yourself in dire straits, I will kindly offer you some assistance. Prince William looked at Qin Tian with a hint of sympathy in his eyes

The expression of Prince William, who was standing nearby and originally wore a cheerful smile, also froze.

In order to demonstrate loyalty to the German Empire and to win the affection of the populace, the princes of the German royal family often pursued military careers. Whether in the army or the navy, they were required to serve. This way, the public could see that the royal family stood at the forefront of defending the empire and the interests of the people
