Chapter 106: Bar mitzvah

"Oscar, you will be an adult tomorrow. You should also consider your marriage. There will be many noble ladies at your coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow. I hope you can choose one of them and become a Your partner in life." Queen Victoria said to Qin Tian. She purposely called Qin Tian to the palace the day before his twentieth birthday, and specifically told him about this matter.

  Crown Prince William has become a vegetative state, and although Qin Tian is the acting crown prince, but his performance is becoming more and more dazzling, Queen Victoria has to accept this reality. After all, Qin Tian is also her son, but he was not reused before. Moreover, Qin Tian's performance now is even more outstanding than that of Crown Prince William back then.

   "Yes, Queen Mother!" Qin Tian nodded.

  As a member of the royal family, especially the crown prince, Qin Tian knew that it was almost impossible for him to decide on his own marriage. His wife could only be the daughter of a great nobleman in Germany, or a princess from another country. As for the common people, it is simply impossible to become his wife, the future queen of Germany.

  Of course, Qin Tian never expected to have a vigorous love. Right now, he simply doesn't have that kind of time, nor does he have that kind of experience. Qin Tian, ​​who was a standard nerd in his previous life, had no experience in dating. Qin Tian only hoped that he could find a beautiful and kind-hearted girl to be his wife, and that was enough.

  Queen Victoria nodded in satisfaction: "Oscar, you are the most outstanding prince of the royal family and my best son. I hope that this time you can find a girl you like."

  Qin Tian nodded and didn't say much. Although, he also held such expectations. But Qin Tian knew that the royal families in Europe were very chaotic. These aristocrats looked dignified, but behind their backs, they were full of thieves and prostitutes. Whether they could find a wife that satisfied him depended on God's arrangement.

   The next day, July 2, 1908, Qin Tian turned twenty years old. For the German Empire, this day is undoubtedly a very important day. Kaiser Wilhelm II will hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for Qin Tian in the imperial palace. The great nobles in Germany hope that their daughters will be valued by Qin Tian on this day, so that they can become the crown princess of Germany, and become the princess of Germany in the future. Queen. In this way, their family can gain huge prestige and benefits.

  Especially, Qin Tian was already a household name in Germany. This is not only because Qin Tian is the crown prince of the empire, but also because of Qin Tian's achievements in the business field. Deutsche Industries Group has now become one of the few large conglomerates in Germany, and its speed of making money has left others dumbfounded. And Qin Tian is also known as the youngest rich man in Germany.

   I don’t know how many noble women want to marry Qin Tian. If Qin Tian wanted to choose a concubine, the applicants would probably go straight from Berlin to Potsdam.

  Many foreign envoys were also invited to attend this coming-of-age ceremony. Especially the allies of the German Empire hope to further consolidate the close relationship with Germany. Emperor Franz Joseph I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire sent a special envoy to Germany to persuade William II to marry the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The princess of the Habsburg Dynasty married the heir of the Hohenzollern family, further to cement the alliance between the two empires.

   However, William II was not going to interfere with Qin Tian on this issue, and handed over the power of choice to Qin Tian. In the words of William II, the current German Empire is already very strong, so strong that we need allies, and there is no need to sacrifice the happiness of the Crown Prince.

   Qin Tian was very satisfied that he was not persecuted by William II and Queen Victoria in this regard. Although he cannot decide the identity of his wife, he can always decide who his wife is. He wants to choose a wife who satisfies him, rather than using his marriage as a political bargaining chip.

  The coming-of-age ceremony has a lot of cumbersome rituals. The archbishop of the Catholic German Diocese presided over this coming-of-age ceremony in person, making the whole coming-of-age ceremony even more sacred.

  Qin Tian endured his temper and finally made it to the end of the ceremony, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

   "Gentlemen and ladies, elites of the German Empire, thank you for being able to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of Crown Prince Oscar." At the end of the ceremony, William II made a routine speech.

  Although, William II still has a preference for Crown Prince William in his heart. However, he had to admit that when Crown Prince William could no longer fulfill his duties as Crown Prince, Qin Tian was undoubtedly the best candidate for Crown Prince. What's more, Qin Tian's performance in this position should have been better than that of Crown Prince William. William II often thought that perhaps it would be the best choice for Qin Tian to inherit the throne.

"The German Empire has become one of the most powerful empires in the world, and it will continue to grow stronger. Thank God for giving us the crown prince Oscar and giving us the best heir to the crown prince in the world. May God bless Crown Prince Oscar, bless the German Empire!" William II said loudly.

   "May God bless Crown Prince Oscar and the German Empire!" Everyone shouted.

  However, not everyone who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony wished Qin Tian sincerely. For example, the hostile countries of the German Empire, Britain, France, Russia and other countries, they do not want the German Empire to continue to grow stronger. A powerful German Empire is not a good thing for them. It would have been nice if the heir to the German Empire had been an incompetent. But it is a pity that Crown Prince William, who was previously ambitious and talented, became a vegetable, and the current Crown Prince is even more difficult to deal with.

  Besides these people, Qin Tian's brothers were also completely filled with jealousy and hatred. According to the law of succession to the throne, when Crown Prince William was unable to perform the duties of Crown Prince, they should be appointed as Crown Prince, and it would never be Qin Tian's turn. However, William II violated the law of succession to the throne and directly deprived them of their qualifications to be crown princes according to the law, which naturally made them very hateful. You know, their coming-of-age ceremony is far inferior to Qin Tian's coming-of-age ceremony this time! This made these princes extremely jealous.
