Chapter 653: The King of England who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger

The war in Liberia, with the attention of the whole world, ended so quickly, and everyone was shocked.

"The conspiracy of the Germans is completely bankrupt!"

The British Times Radio once again hung up Germany, pointing out that behind the scenes of the Liberian war, the German military did not want to hand over Liberia to the Chinese Empire, and deliberately caused trouble, and as a result, stealing chickens and rice not only did not save Liberia, but instead of saving Liberia, more than 100,000 German troops were killed, and even German Defense Minister Schriefen was killed.

Sitting in front of the radio, Ross, as Prime Minister of the British Empire, was very annoyed at the moment.

"Damn, didn't they warn them, don't always target the Germans!"

Ross angrily scolded that as a puppet prime minister controlled by the Chinese Empire, what he hated most at the moment was not the German Empire, which had always been against the British Empire, but to get rid of the control of the Chinese Empire.

The end of the world war is getting farther and farther away, but it is an eternal pain in the hearts of the British, because in that world war, the former British Empire was defeated, and now it is controlled by the Chinese Empire and has become a semi-colonial country.

However, most Britons simply didn't care, because they were getting used to the days of the Chinese Empire.

Massive aid from the Chinese Empire led to a significant improvement in the living standards of the British, who gradually recovered from the world war.

Of course, it was only quietly restored, and the military strength of the British Empire was not restored, but was constantly weakened, and the Chinese Empire would never allow the British Empire to rise again.

Ross wanted to get rid of the control of the Chinese Empire, but he did not dare to blatantly raise the banner, so he could only do it secretly, the disadvantage of this is that the British people outside did not know at all, they only thought that Ross was a British traitor, betrayed the British Empire, and became a lackey of the Chinese Empire.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the boss behind the Thames has changed, and they won't look at our faces anymore!"

The Secretary-General said with a wry smile that this was the Nth time he had reminded Rose, but Rose seemed to like intermittent amnesia every time.

"That's right, the position of the major shareholder was bought by the damned merchants of the Chinese Empire!"

Rose finally remembered, kicked hard, and turned off the radio.

The secretary general said: "We are now unable to influence public opinion, and the Chinese Empire is deliberately using public opinion to guide the people of the empire, so that the people of the empire will continue to hate the Germans." ”

Roston gritted his teeth and said, "Cunning Chinese, they are deliberately dragging our people into the water. ”

"It is true," the secretary general said, "that the people will not be aware of it for a short time, but the more time passes, the more obvious it will become, and by the time the people realize it, the hatred will be seared into the hearts of the people, and the prejudice against the Germans will be unstoppable." ”

"This is the genius of the Chinese Empire," Ross sighed, "using soft power to completely deteriorate Anglo-German relations. ”

The secretary general nodded: "But fortunately, we are secretly helping the Germans, and the German top brass knows our sincerity and knows that we are forced to do so." ”

Rose shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No! The ultimate direction of many things cannot be changed by a mere national leadership. When the citizens of the British Empire were completely hostile to the German Empire, even if the top leaders opposed it, it would be invalid and even deposed, because the consortium would always only look at money, and they would not offend the people who sent them money. ”

The secretary general said anxiously: "Then what should we do?" We can't watch the Chinese Empire topple our British Empire on the muzzle of the German Empire! ”

Rose returned to his seat, picked up the pen and tapped on the desk, and said for a long time: "Maybe an old saying from the Chinese Empire can help us." ”

Rise from the ashes!

Suddenly, Rose finally made the decision that he was going down a path he had never taken before.

Ross called it the curvilinear way to save the country, and perhaps this was the only way.

As for how to put it to death and come back to life, if the curve saves the country and gets rid of the control of the Chinese Empire, this is a complicated issue, and Ross himself can only take one step at a time, and he is not too sure at all.

In the hands of Ross, there is still a certain amount of power, after all, Ross is still the prime minister of the British Empire, and the Chinese Empire does not want to stimulate the British people too much, so it also needs the puppet of Ross to be the prime minister.

At Buckingham Palace, Rose meets with Edward VII, and the two go to a secret room to block everyone from disturbing.

"What? I don't agree, you're taking too much risk! The slightest negligence would have resulted in complete failure and implicated the entire royal family. ”

After listening to Rus's strategy, Edward VII fiercely opposed.

According to Rus's strategy, the British Empire in the future would take two paths to ensure that the British Empire completely got rid of the Chinese Empire.

One way is to have a complete showdown with the German Empire and be a pawn of the Chinese Empire in its attack on the German Empire, only in this way can we gain the trust of the Chinese Empire, make the army of the British Empire that is constantly eroding and retreat rise again, and lay a military foundation for finally getting rid of the control of the Chinese Empire.

The other way is the political line, Ross asked Edward VII to give the most beautiful princess Emily in the imperial family to the emperor of the Chinese empire as a concubine, and after gaining enough trust, carry out the assassination mission, as long as he succeeds in killing the emperor Li Weiguo, then the princes of the Chinese empire will fight for imperial power, and completely dismember the huge Chinese empire.

Of course, these two paths go hand in hand and complement each other.

Since the day the Chinese Empire occupied LinkedIn, there have been many British nobles who have encouraged the royal family to marry the Chinese Empire, but they have been rejected by the British Empire royal family, after all, the British royal family is arrogant, if the princess is married to the emperor of the Chinese Empire as the right wife, it is reasonable, but the problem is not only not to get the position of the right wife, but also to be one of the three thousand harems, for the monogamous British Empire government and women, it is absolutely unacceptable.

Now Ross not only proposed marriage in this way, but also married Edward VII's most beloved sister to the Chinese Empire, and even excessively proposed to make Emily a spy and assassin, whether it was successful or not, Emily would die, which simply made Edward VII explode in an instant and wanted to kill people.

"Listen to me!"

Rose didn't expect Edward VII's reaction to be so intense, it stands to reason that people who play politics have reached the level of a king, and they should treat family affection very lightly, sacrificing a sister in exchange for the rebirth of the British Empire, this deal is not a loss at all, why is such a big reaction, this is very different from the rumored discord between brothers and sisters!

Whatever the hell it was, Ross had to be careful to explain.

"I know Your Majesty, you have a hard time accepting it, but I hope you can take care of the overall situation, the only chance for the British Empire to get rid of the control of the Chinese Empire is in front of you, do you want to be a puppet king, or do you want to be a king who leads the British Empire to rise again?"

Edward VII snorted coldly: "I want to be a wise king who can lead the British Empire back up, and I also want to protect my sister!" ”

Rose was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is difficult!" You can't have both a bear and a fish's paw, you can only choose one! ”

In order to let Edward VII see the reality clearly, Rose explained to him bitterly.

"At present, the policy of the Chinese Empire towards the British Empire has been very clear, they allow us to be politically independent, and even help us improve the people's livelihood, but they do not give us the opportunity to rebuild the military power of the British Empire. The Royal Navy, which we are proud of, had more than 3,000 warships at its peak, but now there are only a few dozen rusty and broken ships left, and even the ships of the smuggling gangs are faster than the warships of our navy. ”

Ross was right, and Edward VII had to admit that the Royal Navy, which the British Empire was proud of, no longer exists, and is even inferior to a third-rate country, such as the Argentine Navy, which is stronger than the British Navy, and the clippers of those smuggling gangs are also faster than the warships of the British Navy.

As the newly enthroned King of England, Edward VII wanted to do something to make his achievements stand out and be recognized by the people of the British Empire, and at the same time he wanted to surpass any other British king in the history of the British Empire.

However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.

Edward VII repeatedly asked the Chinese Empire to strengthen Britain's own military power, but the Chinese Empire refused, and even Edward VII wanted to add new equipment to the British army, but was suspected by the Chinese Empire, so that the already small military spending was cut again, forcing the British army to disarm every year.

Now the entire British Empire has only 5,000 navy, 16,000 army, and only a pitiful 150 air force, so Edward VII himself knew in his heart that if he could not reassure the Chinese Empire, the British Empire would never be able to restore its military strength, and without military strength to support it, it would be impossible for the British Empire to get rid of the control of the Chinese Empire.

"In order to reassure the Chinese Empire, we must become a dog, a mad dog, to bite the Germans for the Chinese Empire, the master, and only then will the Chinese Empire restore the armed forces of the British army at some point," Ross explained. And marrying your sister far away to the Chinese Empire is to ask her to kill Li Weiguo at a critical moment, Li Weiguo has so many sons, and each of them is outstanding, once Li Weiguo suddenly hangs up, the Chinese Empire will inevitably fall into a civil war, and then we can take the opportunity to get rid of the control of the Chinese Empire. ”

Edward VII snorted coldly: "Even if the Chinese Empire is plunged into civil strife, even if we get rid of the control of the Chinese Empire, but don't forget that we are opposite the German Empire, once the Chinese Empire is in civil strife, the German Empire will replace the world hegemon, and then it will be equivalent to making a wedding dress for the German Empire, and even the first battle of the rise of the German Empire is to destroy our British Empire." ”

Rose was shocked, he never expected that Edward VII would have such a profound insight, which was not at all what he usually looked like.

Is it pretended?

When he chose to let Edward VII be the king of England, it was also out of some political need, Ross wanted dictatorship, and he didn't want a strong king to influence him, so he chose Edward VII, just because this guy was usually very "obedient", otherwise Ross would never let him take the throne.

Rose was suspicious for a moment, but he didn't take it to heart, thinking it was just a coincidence.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that today's Chinese Empire is so large that it occupies one-third of the world's land area, and even if there is a civil war, it is not something that the German Empire can easily defeat. On the contrary, the Chinese Empire will be in civil strife, and the entire world pattern will be restored to the world map of the era of the Industrial Revolution, when the British Empire has regained its strength with the help of the Chinese Empire and will be able to confront the German Empire. ”

Edward VII then sighed and said, "Since the Prime Minister insists on doing so, then do as you wish!" But on my sister's side, I will never come forward to convince me, you can figure it out yourself! ”

β€œhatοΌŸβ€

Rose was momentarily stunned, and when he saw the strange smile on Edward VII's face, he always felt like he had been deceived.

He instantly realized that Edward VII probably didn't care about his sister at all, and everything just now was fake.

I'm afraid this product was deliberately installed before!

The city of this goods is too deep!

Rose shuddered, and for the first time sensed that Edward VII in front of him was not a sheep, but a lion watching his prey.

Hemp eggs!

Rose scolded secretly in his heart, he was pecked by geese all year round, and he was tricked all year round. At the beginning, among all the people who could inherit the throne, only Edward VII was the most honest and peaceful, Ross thought he could control this guy, but now it seems that Edward VII in front of him is clearly a ruthless character who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.

But now is not the time for a showdown, Edward VII will be abolished sooner or later anyway, so let him be the shield today.

Rose sneered in his heart, but he didn't know that Edward VII was sneering in his heart.

As soon as the two reached an agreement, they immediately put it into action.

Rose came forward to convince Princess Emily, but she had to coerce and seduce, and was finally scolded, but in the end Emily chose to give in.

On the other hand, Edward VII also took the initiative to improve relations with the Chinese Empire, first expressing his sincerity to the European Theater Command of the Chinese Empire headed by Li Weijun, actively cooperating with any action, and even taking the initiative to increase the subsidy for the Chinese Empire's occupation forces.

Through the improvement of relations, Li Weijun and the officials of the entire European Theater Command had a favorable impression of Edward VII, and through his recommendation, Edward VII had the opportunity to visit China and meet with the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Li Weiguo.

In this way, Edward VII brought a large British business delegation to China to enhance Anglo-Chinese relations.

Of course, the most important thing is to bring the beautiful Princess Emily.

The British king led a delegation to visit China, and Li Weijun had already reported to Li Weiguo in advance.

When Li Weiguo learned that Edward VII planned to marry his beautiful sister Princess Emily to him, he immediately cried and laughed.

Today, Li Weiguo's energy is focused on the Moon Gate project, and there are few hunting talents outside, especially foreign girls, it is not easy to ask them to kneel and sing about conquest.
