Oscar fled from William's office in embarrassment. Under the fury of his father, he didn't dare to stay at all. He didn't want to further anger father, as that would not do him any good.
Once father directly removed him from the Hohenzollern family in a fit of anger, he would be really miserable. At that time, he will not be able to get along in Germany or even the whole of Europe. A person who has been expelled from the royal family will become the object of criticism wherever he goes.
"Is it possible that I really want to go to Kiel Naval Academy for four years? In that case, wouldn't it be a waste of four years,that much time?" After returning to his room, Oscar was very unwilling.
"I have to think of other ways." Oscar said. He began to think a better solution to the problem.
The order from Father was for him to report to the Kiel Naval Academy within a week. And, without permission, you are not allowed to return to the palace. It can be seen how hell bend Father is on sending him to academy.
Suddenly Oscar thought "If Dean Ludwig von Reuter can open a back door for me, even if I go to Kiel Naval Academy, I will have enough time to do my things."
Of course, Oscar didn't need to think about how difficult it would be to get the old-fashioned Dean Ludwig von Reuter
to open the back door for him. The Germans have originally civilized the world with rigidity. Dean Ludwig von Reuter has been in the position of dean of the Kiel Naval Academy for many years and has trained a lot of talents for the German Navy. At the same time, it also won the trust of Father. It's gone difficult to make him bend the law for personal gain!
"No matter what, you have to try it. Otherwise, you will really spend four years in jail at the Kiel Naval Academy!" Oscar made up his mind.
"Karl, buy two train tickets to Kiel!" Oscar ordered.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness Prince" Carl von Jonneret outside the door replied. At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
The news that Oscar was rebuked by William II and made William II angry has already been known to everyone in the palace. This also made Carl von Jonneret feel a sense of crisis. He who is close to Oscar, his fate is almost tied to Oscar. Once Oscar was disliked or even removed by King William II from family, he would not even think about having a good future.
Fortunately It seems that Oscar have figured it out, and wants to report to the Kiel Naval Academy. This made Carl heart that had been hanging around, and he was finally able to put it back to its place.
The transportation in Germany is way more convenient than many other countries. The railway network in Empire is vdense and spread like a spider web on whole of Country and also connect some other countries as well. Almost every German city is connected by railway. In the era when there were no planes, taking the train was undoubtedly the most convenient way to travel.
Relying on their status and money, Oscar and Carl easily got two first-class train tickets to Kiel. However, even the first-class carriages are far from comparable to the trains of later generations. But considering that this was more than a hundred years ago, we can't force too much.
Although it is only more than 300 kilometers from Potsdam to Kiel. However, at the speed of the current train. When Oscar and Carl got off the train at Kiel Railway Station, it was already night.
"Find a place to rest. We will visit Dean Ludwig von Reuter early tomorrow morning."
Carl nodded and didn't say much
The two quickly found a nice hotel. Because of the exhaustion of the journey, I ate something and went to bed.
However, Oscar, who was lying on the bed, couldn't fall asleep. He needed to find a way to get Dean Ludwig von Reuter permission for letting him free rather than spend 4 years in Academy .After sometime later, Oscar finally thought of a solution. At this time, he fell asleep with a smile on his face.
Early the next morning, Oscar and Karl rushed to Kiel Naval Academy after having breakfast.
Kiel was originally a small city, and almost everything here was related to the navy. There is not only the Naval Academy here, but also an important base of the German Navy. In the face of the threat of British navy, the German navy can be deployed in Kiel, which is relatively safe. Once something happens, you can go through the canal to Wilhelmshaven and enter the North Sea to engage in battle.
In addition, there are Imperial shipyard and German Shipyard in Kiel, both of which are large shipyards capable of building battleships.
After arriving at Keele College and showing their IDs, Oscar and Karl were quickly taken to the office of Dean Ludwig von Reuter.
Dean Ludwig von Reuter, or Hans Hermann Ludwig von Reuter was a German admiral who commanded the High sea fleet when it was interned at Scape Flow in the north of Scotland at the end of world war 1. He is barve German and at last he sink the German battleships, so they didn't get in hamds of British.
"His Royal Highness, welcome to the Kiel Naval Academy. Are you going to report officially?" Dean Ludwig asked. There was no trace of a smile on that old-fashioned face. Obviously, the news of Oscar's refusal to study at the Naval Academy had already reached his ears.
In the eyes of Dean Ludwig, Oscar has become synonymous with members of the royal family who are ignorant. If it wasn't for Oscar's identity, he wouldn't want to waste his tongue anymore.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Dean. However, I hope that your Excellency the Dean can satisfy me with a small request." Although Oscar didn't know what Dean Ludwig was thinking. But in general, you can guess about eight or nine.
"A request? Your Highness, please speak." Dean Ludwig frowned.
"Your Excellency, President, I hope that during the enrollment period at the Kiel Naval Academy, I will not have to participate in the daily study, but only come to take the exam at the end of the term."
After hearing Oscar's request, Dean Ludwig's face suddenly turned dark,even after knowing maybe why Oscar came to him, Dean felt Oscar didn't have what a royalty should have. As the cradle of German naval officers and generals, almost everyone who enters the Kiel Naval Academy is an elite. After everyone entered the Naval Academy, they all studied hard so that they could serve the country after graduation.
As the royal family of the German Empire, members of the Hohenzollern family should have set an example for the people of the whole country. However, now that Oscar made such an unreasonable request, this naturally made Dean Ludwig very angry. At the same time, the eyes looking at Oscar were also full of contempt. Such a guy is simply not worthy of being a member of the Kiel Naval Academy.
Carl, who came with Oscar also Shocked, never expecting that Oscar would make such a request.
"Your Highness Prince,if you don't want to study at the Kiel Naval Academy, I am not forcing you to study. To be honest, it was His Majesty's request to let your Highness become a navel officer. I can send a telegram to His Majesty immediately and ask him to take it back!" Dean Ludwig said looking indifferent.
