Chapter 1332: The End of an Era (Thank you for the reward from the invincible big bulb!) )
At Buckingham Palace, Queen Victoria, who has been seriously ill, has been lying on the hospital bed for more than half a month. The famous doctors in the country have been invited to see her, but there is no improvement at all, and the people in the palace know that the queen is dying, and now she is in a coma, and I am afraid that she has entered the dying moment.
And next to her, the heir to the throne, her eldest son, Prince Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, was crying sadly. Because Queen Victoria associated the death of her husband Prince Alberg with the absurdity of her eldest son, Edward, believing that the eldest son's ignorance and insolence affected the royal family's face and made her husband sick, she never allowed him to intervene in political or clan affairs, so that although Prince Edward was the first heir, he never learned about inheriting the throne. The Queen's second son, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, was clever and brave, but he had no intention of joining the throne and volunteered to join the navy, and was now fighting against the navy of the Kingdom of Prussia in the Baltic Sea.
Therefore, the royal family can only arrange for the Prince of Wales to stay at the queen's sickbed, waiting for the queen's call at all times.
Suddenly, Queen Victoria opened her eyes, and they were so bright that she woke up and asked Prince Edward, "What is the situation in Europe?" ”
Although Prince Edward was usually absurd, he was still very concerned about the situation in Europe during this special time, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the French army was defeated by the Prussian army at the Franco-Prussian border, and the French Emperor surrendered to Prussia. ”
Prince Edward knew that the queen was too weak to speak, and he carefully told the situation of the battle of El, according to the battle of El, which was analyzed by the British War Office and the newspapers, according to Prince Edward, the artillery of the Prussian army, which seemed to be imitating the oriental artillery, was extremely sharp, and it was for this reason that the most powerful French army in the world, coupled with command errors, caused this fiasco!
Hearing this, Victoria thought of the Eastern Empire again. The reason why he is like this is, in the final analysis, is because of the decay of Britain, and the decline of Britain, in the final analysis, is because of the rise of the Eastern Empire, because of the Oriental man named Feng Yunshan.
Victoria remembered that she had succeeded her uncle as Queen of England at the age of 18, and that Britain had become the most powerful country in the world. She regretted that she didn't send troops to completely defeat that eastern country, and even turned it into a colony, and even regretted that she didn't pay too much attention to the eastern country at the beginning, so that the rebel army named Feng Yunshan gradually grew stronger, so that now the sun never sets on the British Empire, the Straits Settlements of the East Indies, the Indian mainland, Australia and Ireland, and the British Empire has changed from the world's first power and the hegemon of the sea to what it is now!
"Oh God!" Victoria exclaimed faintly, that she had been following the war since the Franco-Prussian war, and that by this moment she knew that another great power had risen on the continent.
And this powerful Prussia really began to become stronger, all because they were friendly with that country in the East, and then obtained huge financial support.
She tried her best to sit up, but she couldn't, a white light flashed in front of her eyes, she couldn't see anything anymore, she could only mutter something faintly, and then she left......
Prince Edward stretched out his hand to support Victoria as early as when he wanted to sit up, his mother's abnormality made him very worried, his mother seemed to be telling something, he listened carefully, and seemed to be muttering something "despicable Feng Yunshan, return me India and Ireland, and return my empire where the sun never sets", and then the mother he was supporting, the Queen of England, suddenly weakened, and there was no sound......
Prince Edward hurriedly screamed, crying out for the royal doctor and weeping in panic and sorrow, knowing that his mother, Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Great Britain, had gone to heaven.
At the height of Europe's turmoil, Queen Victoria, the former Empress of the British Empire and India, died before she was 50 years old. And this sudden event will have a huge impact on Britain and the whole of Europe.
When Prime Minister Gladstone learned of Her Majesty's death, he immediately issued a national martial law order, sending all the military police and even reserve forces to maintain order everywhere, especially the unemployed workers in London and the people who had been hit by rubber stocks.
The stock market and bond market in London have also suffered huge losses because of the disappearance of the Queen's death, stocks in various industries have fallen deeply, and even banks have seen a run on the tide, and unemployed workers have also felt that the future is even bleaker because of the Queen's death.
The Times published a front-page biography of the Queen, with all pages devoted to the memory and remembrance of the Queen. Other newspapers also reported on the Queen's death and analysed the implications and trends in Britain and Europe.
For several days, the Times was caught in nostalgia for Queen Victoria's old events and that era. It commented: "She is faithful to her duty, to her kingdom, and to her people; She spends her time not only at work, but also on housework; She was faithful to her husband and strict with her children, becoming a role model for European monarchs.
Her unremitting efforts not only led to the prosperity of literature, art, education, technology, industry and economy of the Kingdom of Great Britain, but also to the good treatment and status of the people.
Her death also marked the official end of the British Empire, which changed from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and India to the Kingdom of Great Britain. It was the end of a glorious era, and at the same time a great sorrow for all Britons. ”
But the newspapers of Britain reported it greatly, except for the newspapers of other countries such as Switzerland and Portugal, which reported for a few days, the newspapers of other countries in Europe did not make much noise, and yes, the French Provisional Government was busy resisting the Prussian attack and making peace terms, and Prussia was even busier, not only attacking France, but also sending troops to rescue the troops in Tsarist Russia. The other Ottoman Empire, the Austrian Empire, Tsarist Russia, etc., were also busy with the war, and did not care about Britain, which had been greatly weakened and isolated from Europe, let alone a queen with no real power.
On the contrary, the Chinese Empire was far to the east, and the "Nanyang Daily" published the news of Queen Victoria's death, and used the phrase "Who does the sky spare?" As a title, it is commented that Queen Victoria experienced both the prosperity and decline of Britain, and that her death indeed represented the end of the era of British imperial maritime supremacy. And the queen's lack of fatherly love and growing up in isolation constitute her indifference to the world in adulthood, greedy and selfless, self-respecting, and completely disdainful of the people and the lives of the world, and because of this, she is the retribution of the heavens. The death of the queen represents the end of the old-style bloody colonial era and the advent of the new Eastern era created by the Chinese Empire!
