……………………………………………………………………
Just when Miss Lin Huiyin, who was later recognized as the "first beauty of Seris", was reciting in front of everyone, the British were holding an urgent imperial meeting.
Since it was a royal council, it was natural that among the participants was the first monarch of the Windsor dynasty, George V, whose full name was George Frederick Ernest Albert.
Then there is his wife, the Queen of England, whose full name is Victoria Mary Augusta Louise Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes...... I won't translate it.
She was the daughter of the Duke of Teck of Württemberg, and her mother was the "Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge", which meant that she was the granddaughter of George III. But she herself grew up in the UK.
The marriage of the two of them is worth talking about.
George V was not the eldest son of Edward VII but the second son, and he also had a brother, Prince Albert.
By the way, Edward VII loved to the most, and even had a leg with Winston Churchill's mother.
However, at that time, the British elite was not ashamed but proud, and Churchill's father felt that there was nothing embarrassing to be a brother-in-law with the king. This shows that his wife looks okay.
Of course, Churchill himself did not say anything about this.
It is said that George V fell in love with his cousin, Princess Marie, the daughter of the Duke of Edinburgh.
The fathers of both men and women, as well as their grandmother, Queen Victoria, were happy to see such a bond, but their mothers did not agree.
Why is that?
Anyone who knows a little bit of history knows that George V was the cousin of Wilhelm II. Both of them were grandfathers of King Christian IX of Denmark. His mother was naturally a Danish princess.
The woman's mother was a Russian princess, the only daughter of Tsar Alexander II. This pair of concubines just can't get used to each other, and the relationship is very poor.
George V's mother, the Prince of Wales, disliked the other party too pro-German, that is, pro-German. Think about it, the British prince and the Russian princess are actually German fans, isn't it very important to listen to it?
As the only daughter of the Tsar, the Duchess of Edinburgh has always been obsessed with the fact that she can only be a duchess.
So she told her daughter that marrying the second son would be the same duchess as my mother and me at most, what did it mean? Mom, I'll ask your grandfather to introduce you to a prince who can inherit the throne.
The Lord of Mary cruelly rejected George V's proposal and married the future King of Romania, Ferdinand I, in 1893.
In short, this love affair actually involved the royal families of Euroaba's four countries. It is a pity that there are no film and television works with this theme in later generations.
This has already been heard by the blowers, but it is even more because of the blows later.
After being rejected from marriage, both George V and his brother Prince Albert fell in love with their cousin, Lord Turkshire.
His brother was the first in line to the British Empire, so he was naturally engaged to the Lord of Turkshire. Of course, this incident also affected the relationship between their brothers. George V wrote to his grandmother Victoria to complain that he was not valued by the royal family.
Well, the British royal family doesn't value him, God does. His brother died of pneumonia six weeks after his engagement.
So George V not only married the woman he wanted, but also became the king of England.
Now this loving couple who have had a rather "bumpy" emotional experience sits on the throne with a sad face...... My eldest son was taken hostage, can I not be sad?
The Prime Minister, who had not slept all night, was also constipated, and the meeting hall where the Cabinet and the Imperial Family were basically gathered was even more silent.
Well, the center of the British Empire has nothing to do but wait for the damned "Hibiscus Legion" to make a statement.
Not long after the sun rose, someone hurried in and handed a copy to Prime Minister Lloyd.
The British Prime Minister took the manuscript and looked at it......
He didn't care that he was in front of the palace, so he stood up and said hatefully: "It's so hateful!" ”
"It's so damnable!"
"Yes, it's disgusting!"
WHEN OUR MASTER YUAN WROTE IT, AND HIS FEMALE DISCIPLES RECITED THAT ELOQUENT ESSAY AND READ "SHAME ON YOU", THE BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY AND THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR COLONIAL AFFAIRS WHO WERE LISTENING IN THE LEGATION WERE ALREADY SO ANGRY THAT ONE BUDDHA WAS BORN AND THE SECOND BUDDHA ASCENDED TO HEAVEN.
Although they were hostages, the more than 50 people left behind were not affected, and these people were not even tied hand and foot.
Unfortunately, most of these people are past the prime of life and have been in high positions all year round.
Compared with young people, they are naturally a little less agile and blind, and a little more hammer and scruples.
At least the Marquess George Curzon and Mr. Winston Churchill did not even think of fighting the robbers.
But now they really have the heart to take a chance.
Because this hibiscus army is too cunning!!
Well, translated into Japanese, it is a great loss of conscience.
It turned out that what they said in public about the Shandong issue was just a false shot.
If, as they said last night, it was only for Japan to abolish the "Treaty of Shandong," then in the final analysis it was nothing more than a political incident.
However, they have now elevated their criminal actions to a higher level than politics – morality.
Politics is rational, so even if the Japanese government refuses to back down, it is understandable.
Morality is emotional, so it would be absolutely incomprehensible to assume that the British government would not apologize.
The problem is that these two senior cabinet officials knew very well that the British Empire could not apologize for its colonial policy.
The two guys had no choice but to sulk for a while, and watched as the people of the Hibiscus Legion and the two ladies returned to the legation and closed the door.
Churchill suddenly whispered: "George, have you noticed that half of this hibiscus army has been showing up for a long time. ”
Marquis Curzon frowned and asked, "Winston, what do you mean......"
"I mean what are they doing?" Churchill said thoughtfully, "Are these people really willing to be taken away?" ”
The Foreign Secretary shook his head and said, "Winston, you're too worried. Now that they are surrounded on all sides, they can't even fly out, so where can they go? ”
"I hope so......" the Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs sighed and smiled to himself, "George, if they can find a way to get out safely, maybe we'll be able to get out of here safely." ”
Marquis Curzon thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Winston, what you said is good. I'm kind of hoping they'll find a way to evacuate now......"
"Found it!"
