Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Marshal Duke Württemberg, commander of the 5th Army of the Germanic Empire, was definitely a high-ranking figure in the Germanic Empire military. Not only because of his great merits on the battlefield on the Western Front, he successfully became a field marshal of the Imperial Army.

He was also the Duke of Württemberg, the ruler of the German Empire after the Kingdom of Prussia, Bavaria, and Saxony.

Throughout the Germanic Empire, the Duke of Württemberg was an absolute high-ranking figure.

Of course, the Duke of Württemberg also had deep worries in his heart.

As the Germanic Empire gained more and more advantage in this war, it was even about to win the final victory in this war. This will undoubtedly further enhance the prestige of Emperor August.

This is definitely not a good thing for the states!

It has long been rumored that August wanted to change the state structure of the Germanic Empire, no longer implement a dual monarchy, and directly become the emperor of the entire Germanic Empire. All states within the empire will be abolished.

Even if it was just a rumor, it worried the rulers of the states.

Of course, if August had to do this, they would have no way to object.

Once August took advantage of the power of victory and forcibly promoted the denationalization of the Germanic Empire, the states could not be stopped at all!

“Father, Her Majesty the Queen Mother has sent someone to invite you to the Potsdam Imperial Palace.” Albrecht Leopold, the eldest son of the Duke of Württemberg, said.

“Queen Victoria? She wants to see me? Can I help you? The Duke of Württemberg couldn’t help but frown.

After the last assassination of His Majesty the Emperor, Queen Victoria moved to the Potsdam Palace and lived in a shallow place. It is rumored that Empress Victoria did not have a good relationship with Emperor August.

This is no secret to the high-ranking imperial officials such as the Duke of Württemberg.

Ordinary people may not know what’s going on. However, the imperial hierarchy was well aware that Prince Etel Friedrich was involved in the assassination and even had to go into exile and could not return to the empire itself.

Queen Victoria was understandably dissatisfied with August because of this.

“Father, could it be that Queen Victoria is too lonely and wants to find you to accompany her and relieve her loneliness?” Albrecht Leopold laughed.

After hearing this, the Duke of Württemberg couldn’t help but be brightened.

Although Queen Victoria was fifty-seven years old, she was seven years older than him. However, after all, it is the Queen Mother! It was the emperor’s mother. Or the wife of Wilhelm II.

If an improper relationship with Queen Victoria could be maintained, the psychological satisfaction would be incomparable.

This gave the Duke of Württemberg a morbid sense of satisfaction.

The Duke of Württemberg had always been hostile to the Hohenzollern family. If it had not been for the Kingdom of Prussia winning the war and dominating the entire Germanic Empire, they would at least be the well-deserved controllers of the Kingdom of Württemberg. Even if the strength is not as good as the Kingdom of Prussia, it can finally stand on its own, and it will not completely become the courtier of the Hohenzollern family as it is now.

“Good, I’ll go to Potsdam. It just so happens that the 5th Army needs to rest. The offensive of the front against the Russian Empire has not yet begun, there is still enough time! After the Duke of Württemberg made his decision, he then took a special train and went to Berlin.

Upon arrival in Berlin, the Duke of Württemberg drove to the Potsdam Palace to meet Empress Victoria.

But he soon discovered that it was not what he had imagined at all.

In an office at the Potsdam Imperial Palace, he saw not only Queen Victoria, but also the emaciated Crown Prince Wilhelm.

“This… What’s going on? The Duke of Württemberg looked surprised.

The whole country knows that Crown Prince William has become a vegetative person! But now, Crown Prince William actually woke up.

At the same time, the Duke of Württemberg also knew that everything was crooked by him.

Even, clever he almost immediately guessed that there was a lot of weirdness about this meeting.

“Your Excellency, long time no see!” Crown Prince William had a smile on his face.

“Your Royal Highness, it’s great that you can wake up. I have to say, this is simply a miracle! The Duke of Württemberg exclaimed.

“yes! It was a miracle that I was able to awaken, and it was God’s will. Crown Prince William said.

The Duke of Württemberg did not say much.

“Your Excellency, I have been dreaming for the past few years. However, when I woke up, everything was completely different. The throne that belongs to me has been taken by Augustus. Even if the news of my awakening leaks, it will bring me a disaster. I think His Excellency the Duke and I are also friends. Your Excellency the Duke should not betray me! Crown Prince William said.

“Your Royal Highness, you are the brother of His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty will not treat you well.” Duke Württemberg said.

Of course, the premise is that Crown Prince William no longer has any delusions about the throne. Otherwise, you are looking for your own death.

“Hmph! August was vicious. If he knew I had woken up, he wouldn’t have let me go. My Excellency, I hope that this time you will be on my side and help me. Crown Prince William said.

Duke Württemberg’s face suddenly changed, and his heart was even more calculated.

If he could, he wished he hadn’t been here at all today.

The battle for the throne is not something that ordinary people can afford! If you fail, you will die! This is true even if he is in a position of authority.

Besides, even if he is dissatisfied with the Hohenzollern family, it does not mean that he wants to gamble the fate of the entire family!

“Your Excellency, if you help me regain the throne, I can restore the Kingdom of Württemberg as a kingdom. You will become the king of the Kingdom of Württemberg. In addition, the Kingdom of Württemberg will have greater autonomy. In addition to this, you can also achieve higher status. Minister of War or Chief of the General Staff, you choose any one! “Crown Prince William directly prescribed the conditions.

The Duke of Württemberg was suddenly silent, as if thinking about whether to stand on the side of Crown Prince William.

He had to admit that these conditions offered by Crown Prince William were very tempting and extremely attractive to him.
