Chapter 203: Catch it and talk about it
With so many parliamentarians and reporters here today, everyone wants to hear Elizabeth's real position. In fact, since ancient times, most of the love between Elizabeth and Ondet ended in tragedy, and there were few perfect endings.
John? Sir Anderson, as Speaker of the House of Lords, presided over the opening remarks:
"Distinguished parliamentarians and journalists,
Good afternoon;
On the morning of August 30, 39, the despicable German devils attacked our naval base at Scapa Bend through an undeclared sneak attack, so that all the main warships of our home fleet were sunk, which is undoubtedly a shocking news, the British Empire suffered the heaviest losses since the Age of Discovery, and it was Ondelt who committed a heinous crime against Britain? Krupp, I think you already know this man, he is Princess Elizabeth's lover.
If it was peacetime, we would not interfere with Princess Elizabeth's private feelings, but now that Germany has attacked the British Empire, the British Empire has also declared war on Germany, and Princess Elizabeth, as the heir to the British Empire, is responsible for leading the future Britain on the road to strength, so in this national crisis, we have invited Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth today to give a speech at this time, so as to reassure the people and settle the hearts of the army as soon as possible. ”
"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"
All the councillors expressed their absolute support for Anderson with applause, and Princess Elizabeth should indeed take a stand on this matter. Otherwise, everyone thinks that this is a fight between two people, a fight at the head of the bed, and a fight at the end of the bed, so that the people will have no fighting spirit and the army will have no fighting spirit, so Britain will be defeated if it does not fight.
Elizabeth's face was still a little pale, but much better than before, and in terms of spirit, there was no such sad look on her face, and the queen was Elizabeth's own mother. Elizabeth is more or less inherited from the genes of the queen's strong woman. Elizabeth, who stepped onto the podium, began to give her own speech:
"Gentlemen. Ladies,
Good afternoon;
As the eldest princess of the British Empire, the first in line to the throne, Elizabeth, I swear in the name of God that I will never put personal feelings above the interests of the country.
Just yesterday. Ondet? Krupp, the man who keeps saying he loves me. With a huge fleet of aircraft carriers with a despicable and shameless sneak attack. Attacked the home fleet at Scapa Bend, sinking dozens of absolute capital ships of the British Empire. The British Imperial Navy had never suffered such losses since the beginning of the Age of Discovery. Nor has there ever been such a great defeat, which is a great disgrace to the British Empire, and a disgrace to all the British.
So in the name of God, in my Elizabeth? Cindy declared war on Ondel himself in the name of Cindy, and since Ondt was so ruthless and did such a kind and unrighteous thing, then I, Elizabeth, would also declare war on Ondel according to the will of the British people.
I, Elizabeth, swear in the name of God that I will bring Ondet to England, and I swear that in this life I will bring him to the British people to judge this man who has committed a heinous crime against the British Empire, and that the honor of the British Empire shall not be challenged, and the dignity of the British Empire shall not be trampled on, and anyone who dares to provoke the majesty of the British Empire will be duly punished. (Elizabeth means swearing in the name of God, and Cindy means the goddess of the moon)
"Bang bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......"
After Elizabeth finished her speech, she bowed slightly to everyone below and walked off the podium, and everyone saw Elizabeth off with eyes and applause, and Elizabeth had dispelled the scruples in their hearts. Elizabeth was only a princess at this time, and the country's declaration of war was a matter for the prime minister and the king, not to mention that Britain had already declared war on Germany, so Elizabeth had no choice but to declare war on her lover Ondet.
Elizabeth, who stepped off the podium, hurried out, because Elizabeth was not worried about her two little princes, and in the corridor of the parliament building, Churchill caught up with Elizabeth:
"Your Royal Highness, please wait, I have something to ask you about."
"Oh! Mr. Prime Minister, is there anything going on? ”
Elizabeth and Rose had no choice but to stop and wait for Churchill to come up and ask questions:
"Your Royal Highness Princess, may I ask if we catch Ondet, can we let Ondette compensate for the losses of the British Empire?"
After Churchill finished speaking, he hurriedly lowered his head and looked at Elizabeth from the corner of his eyes, you must know that all the property of the Krupp family will be inherited by Elizabeth's two sons in the future, and Churchill asked Ondette to compensate, which is tantamount to stealing money from the British royal family in disguise, will Elizabeth agree?
"Mr. Prime Minister, how about the compensation? What if you don't compensate? ”
Churchill was still respectful, but his words were aggressive, after all, the British royal family was only a symbol of national honor and did not have much real power:
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, if Onde does not compensate for the losses of the British Empire, then we will send him to the Nuremberg Inquisition and send him to the gallows, and if Onde compensates for the losses of the British Empire, I can call the shots and hand Onde over to Her Royal Highness the Princess for disposal."
Elizabeth was so angry when she heard Churchill's words! But what about it? Elizabeth doesn't have any power, Churchill This is a naked political deal and threat, Churchill's meaning is very clear, I don't care who the Krupp family's money belongs to in the future, as long as we catch Ondet, then he must compensate for all the losses caused by this sneak attack, otherwise we will hang Ondet, and you Elizabeth will go and collect the body!
This time, Li Mo inherited seven battleships, four aircraft carriers, fifteen heavy cruisers, and more than 30 warships, and a battleship of about 50,000 tons is 200 million marks, almost 80 million US dollars, and the value of gold at this time is 1 but about 1 US dollar, so 80 million US dollars is equal to 80 tons of gold, which is still the value of a battleship. (The battleship was basically a hundred million dollars, and Bismarck was that price, which is true.) )
On average, according to 40 tons of gold, the loss caused by Li Mo to Britain this time is 1,600 tons of gold, worth about 20 billion US dollars. Judging from the above compensation data, the navy is built up with gold, does Germany have the national strength to support such a huge naval expenditure? It is absolutely impossible, especially when the army, navy, and air force need to be developed.
Therefore, in history, the "Z Plan" of the German Navy was terminated by Hitler because the military expenditure exceeded Germany's ability to bear. Now, under the influence of Limer, the German Navy has begun to change its concept, not to build those huge and expensive battleships, even in this case, the German Navy can still only build two aircraft carriers, and the other aircraft carriers can only be converted with the least cost of merchant ships, just to save money to build destroyers and submarines.
"This ...... This...... Let's wait until you catch Ondet talking! I have no right to decide the fate of Krupp, and I declare that if it is the Onde that I, Elizabeth, have captured, it is not you, then the Onde can only be disposed of by myself. ”
…… (To be continued......)
ps: I'm on duty today, I'm late for the update, please forgive me, friends.
Send a little poem of your own understanding on the way home to atone for your mistake:
Stepping on the dim street lamp
Dragging a tired body?
Lonely walking between grey buildings?
A cold wind blew
Even the dead leaves on the branches do not want to
-- Lonely in the treetops
I walked alone on the long, icy street
The dim street lamps illuminated my lonely figure
Aloneness
――Spread into the air and haunt me?
Wind
- Stroking my cheeks and blowing my hair?
I like this kind of loneliness and messiness that is blown away by the wind
