Potsdam is located on the banks of the Havel River, only 27 kilometers away from Berlin. This is a small town with beautiful scenery. The German royal family built a palace here. The Kaiser lives here for more than half of the year.

  A young man was sitting by the Havel River, watching the quietly flowing river, without saying a word.

  This boy is named Qin Tian. Of course, this was the name of his previous life. Now, he is called Oscar. This is undoubtedly a name that makes Qin Tian very speechless, because he will always be associated with that American movie award. Fortunately, even movies have just started now, like a toddler, naturally there will be no movie awards with various names in later generations.

  Why he became Oscar, or why he traveled to this world, Qin Tian didn't know. He just clearly remembered that it had only been a year since he came to this world, as if his soul had merged into the body of this young man named Oscar. And, it's not the twenty-first century, it's the beginning of the twentieth century. In other words, now he lives more than a hundred years ago.

  In another time and space, Qin Tian had a very wealthy family. Both parents are successful businessmen, which makes them busy with business all day and night, almost becoming trapeze. Naturally, he didn't have much time to take care of Qin Tian.

   And Qin Tian didn't do evil like other rich second generations, relying on money to do evil, but became a complete nerd and a military enthusiast.

  Qin Tian is keen on collecting military historical materials, weapons and equipment from various countries, and even various military historical relics and weapon models, aircraft cannons, tanks and warships, everything that one expects to find.

   Qin Tian is particularly interested in Germany. In his view, Germany is undoubtedly a very tragic country. The people of this country are industrious, rigorous, and rigid, as if they were machines. However, their strength cannot be denied. In the two wars in the first half of the twentieth century, they almost defeated the strong enemy with few enemies and became the hegemony of the world. However, every time it fell short.

  Qin Tian even guessed that if in the First World War, Germany defeated Britain, France and other countries and dominated the European continent. Then, is the subsequent history of the world different from the history he is familiar with?

   It's just that there is no way to repeat history, let alone hypothesize.

  However, God seemed to have played a joke on him. When Qin Tian got a big Iron Cross medal from Germany at a huge price, when he opened the package excitedly, a burst of dazzling light flashed. After feeling dizzy for a while, Qin Tian realized that he had become another person.

  The current Qin Tian has a prominent status. He was Emperor of the Second Reich of Germany and Prince Oscar, the fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. However, Qin Tian, ​​who is familiar with the fate of the Second Empire, is not satisfied with this identity.

  Once the Second Empire collapsed, the princes of the German royal family had almost no good end.

  In another time and space, Prince Oscar died at the age of sixty. But almost all of them are just trying to survive and live in the world. This kind of life is not what Qin Tian wants to live.

   "What should I do? It is already 1904. The war is only ten years away. Is it true that the fate of Germany's defeat cannot be reversed?" Qin Tian murmured.

  Now he feels a deep sense of helplessness and anxiety.

  Although Germany's industrial output value has surpassed that of the United Kingdom, it has become an industrial power second only to the United States. Moreover, in terms of high technology, especially military technology, Germany is several streets behind the United States.

  The United States today is not the Uncle Sam of later generations, it can be regarded as Boy Sam at best. Although it has achieved great success in industry, there is still a big gap compared with Europe. Europe is now the center of the world.

  But Britain controls the most colonies in the world and has the most powerful navy in the world. Compared with Britain, Germany has huge disadvantages in many aspects.

   First of all, although Germany has a developed industry, it lacks various minerals except coal. The sales market of various industrial products is heavily dependent on overseas markets. Once the war broke out, the German navy could not break the blockade of the British navy. German industrial products cannot be sold overseas, and various natural resources cannot be obtained by sea. There is undoubtedly only one final result, and that is to be dragged to death alive. It can be said that this is undoubtedly the main reason why Germany was defeated in the two world wars.

  Secondly, Germany, located in the middle of Europe, is strategically located. The traffic can be described as extending in all directions. But at the same time, it also made Germany fall into a situation surrounded by powerful enemies. Britain and France to the west and Russia to the east are all enemies of Germany. Although the ally of the Austro-Hungarian Empire exists, the Austro-Hungarian Empire only has the name of a powerful country in the world, but it is actually vulnerable. Their performance in the war can be described as rubbish. Such an ally will not only fail to help Germany, but will also drag Germany down. The so-called not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. When the enemy and the enemy's allies are all god-like opponents, while their own allies are like pig-like teammates, no matter how strong Germany is, it can only be beaten to death!

  Although, Germany now has begun to build a powerful navy. The ambitious William II was even more eager to build a powerful fleet capable of defeating the British Navy. But because there are enemies all around, this makes it necessary for Germany to have a strong army. Therefore, it is impossible for Germany to invest all its financial resources in the construction of the navy. This made the gap between the German Navy and the British Navy not only not narrowed, but also widened. When Germany began to build battleships on a large scale, the British pointed out even more arrogantly that when Germany launched one battleship, they launched two, always maintaining an overwhelming advantage over the German navy.

   "Damn it, no matter how you look at it, Germany is bound to die! Is it possible that, as a prince of Germany, I will end up surviving and surviving forever?" Qin Tian thought helplessly.

  Although, it has been a year since he was reborn as Prince Oscar. I am already very familiar with this world. But Qin Tian didn't feel the joy of being a prince at all, instead fell into endless crises and worries. This also made him appear more taciturn in the eyes of others.
