After successfully getting a smelting plant and 100 million marks from William II, Liu Chuan was so busy that his feet didn't even touch the ground.
He first rushed from Bolin to Hamburger, took over the smelter, and put it under the name of August Mining Company. After that, he started to purchase a large amount of machinery and equipment for mining from other factories, as well as equipment and materials that were urgently needed to build roads and ports.
Because Charles Jonalette needed to oversee the mine and wait until everything was on the right track before he could return. Therefore, Liu Chuan once again found a middle-aged man named Frank to be the deputy general manager of August Mining Company to manage the affairs here.
The headquarters of August Mining Company was not set up in Bolin, but in Hamburger.
After all, the main business of August Mining Company, other than the smelter, was the overseas mines.
Although Liu Chuan had been very busy during this period of time, he had been very fulfilling.
Most importantly, he was fighting for his future.
As long as they earned enough money, even the German Empire would not be able to avoid the collapse. Then, with this wealth, he could escape to the Lighthouse Kingdom before the empire collapsed and live comfortably for the rest of his life.
However, what happened next made all of Liu Fei's plans useless.
East Pronia, Royal Manor.
Just after New Year's Day, William II and Crown Prince William went to the manor for a holiday.
For the royal family of this era, hunting had become a form of entertainment. William II and Crown Prince William naturally loved hunting.
Under the protection of the guards, William II and Crown Prince William rode their horses into the forest to hunt.
Just as William II was demonstrating his marksmanship, an accident happened.
A large grizzly bear rushed out of the forest and headed straight for William II.
The guards immediately fired at the grizzly bear, but the grizzly bear was too close and they could not react in time.
An adult grizzly bear could weigh up to 500 kilograms. Not only was it extremely strong, but it was also agile.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The guards kept firing their rifles. After the grizzly bear was hit, it did not die immediately. Instead, it pounced fiercely.
"Boom!"
William II and his horse were thrown down by the grizzly bear.
"Your Majesty!"
The group of guards immediately panicked and rushed over.
Crown Prince William was also shocked. Panicked, he fell off his horse.
Coincidentally, when Crown Prince William fell on the snow, a stone was exposed. The back of Crown Prince William's head hit the rock. Crown Prince William rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Your Highness!"
The guards were all frightened by this sudden incident.
When they rescued William II from under the grizzly bear's body, they found that William II was no longer breathing and had no heartbeat.
As for Crown Prince William, he was unconscious.
The guards realized that they were in big trouble and immediately reported to their superiors.
After receiving the notice, Queen Victoria, Prime Minister Bernhardt, and Chief of Staff Alfred, rushed to East Pronia.
When they confirmed that William II was dead, and that Crown Prince William was in a vegetative state due to a brain injury, they were all stunned.
They had never thought that such a thing would happen to the flourishing Germanic Empire.
"Oh my god! What was going on? Why did His Majesty encounter a grizzly bear when he was hunting? And the crown prince had fallen into a vegetative state?”Queen Victoria felt that the sky was turning dark.
Prime Minister Bernhardt and General Alfred were equally speechless.
"Your Majesty, we have confirmed that it was an accident.”Prime Minister Feng Biluo said.
"Perhaps God doesn't want to see the rise of the Germanic Empire!”General Alfred van Schliefen was even more desperate.
"Is it possible for the crown prince to wake up?”Queen Victoria asked.
"The hope is very slim!" Prime Minister Bilo shook his head.
"Keep this information a secret for now. Inform the important officials of the empire and the princes. His Majesty had passed away, and the crown prince had become like this. However, the empire must not fall into chaos. The empire needed to choose a new successor!”Although Queen Victoria was sad, she knew that the most important thing for the Germanic Empire was to ensure that the new emperor ascended the throne and that the country was not in chaos. Otherwise, it would have disastrous consequences for the German Empire.
When Liu Chuan received the news, he was completely stunned.
He had never thought that history would change so much here. Could it be that everything had changed and become chaotic because of his appearance in this world?
However, this seemed to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him!
