Chapter 196: Reception

Although he was allowed to board the special train arranged for the German Führer, Sir Fay's mind was still a little uneasy, and although the titles of Member of the House of Lords and Royal Sir of the British Empire were honorable, it did not mean that the German Führer would look up to him.

Sitting in the carriage was the uncrowned king of Europe, who had accomplished something that even Emperor Napoleon had not done, and once the new European system he led was built, the entire world pattern would be changed as a result.

In the face of a powerful alliance never before seen in the history of Europe, perhaps restoring the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets is no longer an empty hystery. The Europa Alliance, a grand idea, is becoming a reality, and the choice of what role Britain will play as part of this alliance is not in London's hands. Sir Fay knew this very well, for everything depended on the attitude of the man in the carriage.

"Sir, the Führer agrees with you, please come with me." A major in the German army walked up to Sir Fay, who he already knew to be the personal adjutant of the German Führer, and he was impressed by the unusually youthful countenance of the major.

"Thank you, Major Tysenhowen." Sir Fay thanked him politely, and then followed Tysenhofen through the aisle between the carriages.

"Twenty or twenty-two, definitely not more than twenty-five." His Excellency the House of Lords looked at the back of the Führer's lieutenant and wondered to himself.

This train was specially ordered by the British government for the King of Egypt, and the British Empire has always taken this kind of matter of royal face very seriously. The Plymouth carriage factory built the King's Train almost entirely by hand, and the interior of the carriage was designed in a traditional Egyptian style by experts who specialised in making works of art for the royal family.

The materials are made of precious woods, leathers, precious metals and precious stones from various British colonies, and all the furniture and articles in the carriage are of the finest quality, including a set of silver-inlaid enamelled tableware, which was specially made for the British royal family in the Victorian era, and bears Queen Victoria's personal insignia.

The king of Egypt was known to be a piece of mud that could not hold up to the wall, and he had no interest in inspecting his land in the sun and rain, he only liked to hang out in the comfort of the palace with a group of beautiful women, or hold banquets and wait for the opportunity to steal the belongings of the guests.

The King's Train has not been used once in a few years, but the Egyptian Railways have been meticulously maintaining it, and now it seems that the hard work of the engineers has not been in vain, and the train has finally ushered in a true master worthy of its status since its birth.

Pushing open the black oak door with red leather in the middle, Tysenhowen led Fay into the carriage, which served as a living room. The overall style of the interior of the carriage is Victorian, but there are plenty of Arabic elements in the moldings and patterns, a fine Turkish wool carpet on the floor, and embroidered tapestries of Iranian origin hanging from the panels at both ends of the carriage. In the middle of the carriage was an oval-shaped table with a circle of armchairs wrapped in red lambskin.

In the corner of the carriage was a delicate small desk, next to which was placed an Arabic-style high-backed chair, on which the German Führer sat at the moment, with one hand on his chin, listening carefully to the German generals beside him.

"My Führer, Member of the House of Lords of the British Empire, Colonial Envoy Sir Fay." After the briefing, Tysenhowen stepped to the side, giving way to the Englishman behind him.

"Good afternoon, Your Excellency the Führer, it is a great honour for me to be summoned by you." Fay touched his left chest and bowed respectfully.

"Good afternoon, Sir Fay, and I'm glad to see you, too." The Imperial Führer nodded slightly in return.

"Your Excellency, I also bring greetings from His Majesty the King." Fay bowed respectfully again.

"Please reply to His Majesty King George for me, I have been very concerned about him since the last time we met, and if I have free time, I hope that King George will come to Germany as a guest, and I will accompany him to hunt and fish." The German Führer said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, I will convey your words to Your Majesty truthfully, can this be regarded as a formal invitation? Your Excellency the Führer. Fay looked at the Reich with a happy face.

"What do you think, Mr. Sir?" The German Führer raised his chin slightly.

"His Majesty will be pleased, Your Excellency the Führer." Fay hurriedly bowed his head humbly.

King George VI has not yet announced his abdication, so the Duke of Windsor has not officially become regent, because the cabinet is too sensitive to this issue, Britain has just suffered a defeat, and it is really not appropriate to stimulate the nerves of the people at this moment, so the replacement of the British throne has been postponed.

After Churchill took all the blame and George VI was portrayed by the media as an innocent monarch who had been deceived by the prime minister, the British seemed to forget their previous grievances with the king and began to sympathize with the king's situation. Some royalists took the opportunity to write letters to cabinet ministers, asking them to petition the German government to scrap the provisions of the Treaty of Termination that held the royal family accountable.

To the relief of the British Cabinet, the German Führer graciously agreed to Chancellor Chamberlain's request and agreed that George VI would continue to retain the throne, and as for when the Duke of Windsor's regency order would be issued, the Germans did not seem to be in a hurry.

The British cabinet was happy that the Germans didn't care, otherwise they really didn't know how to shirk it, after all, the king himself signed the document. So the abdication of George VI has been delayed until now, and it seems that everyone is happy without mentioning it.

Incidentally, Chamberlain's health was gradually improving after the use of antibiotics and new treatments, and the bacteria at that time were not resistant, and the prime minister died of complications after the operation, but now it seems that he can at least be on the stage for a while.

If there is anyone in Britain who is unhappy about this, it is the Duke of Windsor and his henchmen, especially the Lady of Windsor, who has long been eager to take the crown of Queen of the British Empire. This is a woman of great vanity, who will do whatever it takes to regain her lost title, even to the side of the enemies of the country.

The Duchess was a staunch supporter of the Nazi Party and was said to have had a close relationship with the German deputy foreign minister, and if someone like her became Queen of England, it would probably be more intolerable to the British parliament than defeat in the war.

Sir Fay would have been thrilled by a simple invitation from the German Führer, not because he had made a fuss and had not seen the world, but because it meant that the Führer still recognized King George's ruling position, and to put it more bluntly, at least until George VI visited Germany, the cabinet did not have to worry about the king being forced to relinquish power.

As for whether Mrs. Humpson would be mad by this, it was not something he needed to consider, not to mention that the Duke of Windsor's house had collapsed, even if the building collapsed to his Fay.

Sir Fay was not very loyal to George VI, he just looked at the problem from the perspective of a politician, and if he brought the news back to London, it would definitely cause an earthquake in the House of Commons, and Fay, who was at the center of the incident, would accumulate a valuable political capital.

Of course, the king would not regard him as an object of gratitude, because it was the head of the empire who made the decision, but Sir Fay, as the negotiating envoy, would definitely be noted in the king's heart.

After a good start, the German Führer and the British knight had a friendly and cordial conversation. The English knight is quite a talkative man, because even the most clumsy man will be mixed up as an old oilman if he stays in the House of Lords for a long time. Soon the conversation turned to the ongoing war on the Arabian Peninsula, with the German Führer saying that he was pleased with the current state of affairs, but at the same time he was concerned about the lack of transport forces on the front line.

"Your Excellency, I am a mere layman on strategic and tactical matters, and I am not in a position to make any useful comments. But if it's purely a matter of transporting troops, I can make a small suggestion. Fay said as he put a spoonful of honey into the black teacup.

"Please, Sir Fay." Xu Jun lit the cigar cigarette on his lips with the match in Tysenhofen's hand.

"Your Excellency, I would like to ask you a question first, what do you think about the animal like the mule... How much do you know. Fay leaned over to the German Führer and said in a mysterious voice.

"You mean... Mule? The German Führer was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
