Prime Minister Bilo and Foreign Minister Holwig never expected that Liu Chuan's August Mining Company would discover such a shocking amount of gold and copper. What surprised us even more was that Liu Chuan was willing to donate most of the profits to the military and the cabinet for free. If it was an ordinary person, it would be impossible for them to do this. What a huge fortune!
"Prime Minister, Foreign Affairs Minister, I am not using money to buy the throne. I sincerely want to make the Empire stronger. This way, the Empire would be able to win in future wars. The current international situation is getting more and more tense. I'm sure you're aware of this. The Gaul Kingdom and the Russian Empire were already enemies of the empire. The Sun Never Sets Empire also strengthened its suppression of the empire. If nothing unexpected happened, the people of Sun Never Sets would definitely join the Gaul Kingdom and the Russian Empire.
"At that time, it will form a military and political alliance between the Gaul and the Russians. Even though we have two allies, the Austro-Hun Empire is in decline, and the internal conflicts are very sharp. Under such circumstances, it was simply unrealistic to expect them to display much of their combat power in future wars and share much of the pressure for the dynasty. As for the Caesar Kingdom, not only was their strength relatively weak, but they were also fence-sitters. It was difficult to say whether they would really stand on the Empire's side.
"Therefore, once a war breaks out in the future, we can only rely on ourselves. As the prince of the Empire, I naturally do not wish to see the Empire lose in future wars. Naturally, they had to do everything they could to increase the Empire's strength so that the Empire could win in future wars and not lose!
I hope that you can support me. I swear to God that I will do my best to lead the Empire to prosperity!”
Liu Chuan said sincerely to Prime Minister Bilo and Foreign Minister Holwig.
"Your Highness, it seems that you are indeed a very suitable candidate to inherit the throne. Compared to Prince Ertel Frederick and Prince Adalbert, he was more suitable to inherit the throne.”Prime Minister Bilo expressed his stance.
The military had already supported Liu Chuan, and Liu Chuan had shown talent that far surpassed the other two princes. Liu Chuan was also willing to donate so much wealth to the Empire for free.
Logically speaking, they would naturally support Liu Chuan's succession to the throne.
"Yes, Your Highness. I admire your dedication. The empire needs an heir like you!”Foreign Affairs Minister Holwig added.
"Thank you. I hope you can help me convince the other cabinet ministers.”Liu Chuan said.
"No problem, we will convince the other ministers!”Prime Minister Bilo immediately said.
"With the military and us supporting His Highness, the other ministers will not have any objections.”Holwig said.
After the meeting with Prime Minister Bilo and Foreign Minister Holwig, Liu Chuan returned to the Bolin Cathedral.
All the members of the royal family were gathered here.
Liu Chuan found an opportunity to have a conversation with Prince Heinrich.
Prince Heinrich was the younger brother of William II. He served in the Imperial Navy and was already an admiral of the Imperial Navy.
Prince Heinrich had great influence in the royal family.
Naturally, Liu Chuan wanted Prince Heinrich's support. Moreover, he hoped that Prince Heinrich could come forward and persuade the other members of the royal family.
"Uncle, the army, navy, and cabinet are all on my side. Everyone supports me replacing Frederick and inheriting the throne. I hope that uncle can support me and help me convince the other members of the royal family.”Liu Chuan said to Prince Heinrich.
Prince Heinrich was stunned. He never expected that Liu Chuan would fight for the throne just after William II passed away. Moreover, he had already received the support of the military and the cabinet.
"August, are you challenging the Law of the Imperial Succession?”Prince Heinrich was somewhat dissatisfied. In his opinion, Liu Chuan's behavior was too unruly.
"Uncle, this is definitely for the good of the empire. You should know what kind of people Frederick and Adalbert are. If one of them were to inherit the throne, what would the consequences be? The reason why the military and cabinet support me is undoubtedly enough to prove this point!”Liu Chuan said.
Prince Heinrich fell silent. He knew very well that Liu Chuan had gained the support of the military and the cabinet.
If he did not want to cause a division or even turmoil in the empire, he would not be able to do so. In that case, it would be best if the royal family stood on Liu Chuan's side.
"Uncle, I promise that everything I do is for the empire, for the empire to become stronger. I can swear to God!" Liu Chuan said.
Prince Heinrich hesitated for a while and finally compromised.
He knew that it was impossible to stop Liu Chuan. In order to avoid causing more damage to the empire, supporting Liu Chuan had become the only way and choice.
