Chapter 870: Condolence for the Queen (Part I)

"Your Majesty, Britain has sent a telegram to the whole world, saying that their Queen Victoria has died due to ineffective medical treatment, and the ministers and celebrities of various countries in Britain can go to mourn as appropriate!" Jun Ji-hyun said with a telegram.

Wang Guorui was surprised: "Victoria, that old lady is dead? Well, is that Her Majesty the Queen dead? ”

Wang Guorui counted the days, it seems that Queen Victoria died at about this time in the original history, and now it is January 1901 and it is almost February, and it seems that the original history also died at this time, and Wang Guorui does not know which day it is.

"It seems that Queen Victoria knew about it months ago, so she also wrote her will." Jun Ji-hyun said.

Wang Guorui also knows that some old people are so strange, and they all seem to know that their time is running out before they die, so they will also feel something. It's a strange feeling, and it's generally incomprehensible. However, this kind of is indeed like this for some old people, and it is not impossible for Queen Victoria to feel this way, after all, she is also old, and it is normal to feel at this time. However, Queen Victoria died at this time, which actually had no impact on the world pattern. After all, Britain has completed the constitutional monarchy, and Queen Victoria, although she was quite powerful when she was young decades ago, is becoming more and more powerless in her old age. The real power of the British royal family has begun to decline rapidly, and the power of various bureaucrats has begun to rise. Even Victoria can't stop this trend, and even Wang Guorui knows that his descendants may have this day, and maybe even when he is in his forties, he will start this trend.

This is the general trend of history, and Wang Guorui has no way to reverse it, or he has no idea of reversing it at all. But now that Queen Victoria has died, there must be some condolences too. Even if Wang Guorui's relationship with Britain is very poor. But after all, there have been contacts. Although the UK has not officially recognized Wang Guorui's new China, what should be sent is still to be sent, and this is also a ceremonial condolence. China is also an influential power in the world, and it is still necessary to have etiquette when sending a telegram of condolence.

"Okay, go and inform the government, go and draw up a telegram of condolence. Then let's have someone in our London office go and go to China instead of us to offer our condolences! Wang Guorui said.

Naturally, someone will draw up this telegram from the government, and Jun Ji-hyun only needs to inform the government side, so it doesn't have to be complicated. However, Jun Ji-hyun then said a somewhat surprising news.

"Your Majesty, do you also want to mourn as a junior? After all, you and the royal family of Europe are also a bit related! Jun Ji-hyun said.

"Related? No way? I've been Chinese for generations! Even if I didn't know that my ancestors had some ethnic minority ancestry, they would never go to Europe! Wang Guorui said.

"It's not yours, it's Queen Wilhelmina's. As the husband of Queen Wilhelmina, you are naturally the younger generation of Queen Victoria. It's not impossible for you to send a personal message of condolence as a junior. Jun Ji-hyun said.

Wang Guorui asked, "What is the in-law network between Mary and the European royal family?" ”

"That's right. The mother (great-grandmother) of Queen Wilhelmina's grandfather - Princess Wilhelmina of Prussia was the sister of Wilhelm II's great-grandfather (Frederick Wilhelm III). The two are distant relatives and have not yet come out of five suits. Wilhelm II's aunt, Princess Louise of Prussia, was also married to Prince Frederick of Orange-Nassau in the Netherlands. As for Wilhelm II's mother, Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, the eldest princess, and ......"

When Jun Ji-hyun told the relationship network between Wilhelmina and the entire European countries one by one, Wang Guorui was blindsided. Wang Guorui can't figure out the relationship here, and it's hard for this Jun Zhixian to be able to memorize it. However, Wang Guorui seemed to have a hard time seeing this Jun Jixian, and he had to recall it carefully before he could remember. even spared a lot of small countries that were not familiar with even Wang Guorui. And then it finally went around to the UK.

As a result, in the end, Wang Guorui was also dizzy. I didn't even know the order of this. Wang Guorui estimates that it is not so easy to sort out this relationship even if it is written on paper with pen and paper.

"Okay, okay, since the bad guy is also my elder, I also draft a telegram in my personal capacity. Then let the director of the office stationed in London, England, go with him, and since he represents the country, he will also send a message of condolence on my behalf. This Queen Victoria is known as the grandmother of Europe, and if Queen Mary and I have some daughters in the future, if we find them a Chinese colt. Is this going to bring Victoria's blood to the East? I'll it, it's a lot more complicated. Wang Guorui smiled bitterly, if he and William Minna's daughter are also looking for a husband in the East, then not only will the West be involved in the blood of this old grandmother, but even the East will be involved.

Wang Guorui finally understood why some later generations said that the history of war in Europe was actually a civil war within a family, and these European royal families were involved in many things. From a macro perspective, they are really a family. However, these families should still fight, and they have never heard of any mercy. However, that's just that there will be no mercy on ordinary people, and if you catch the royal family or the nobles captive, you can not kill or not, and they are also relatives!

However, Wang Guorui suddenly had a bad idea, and said: "According to my meaning, you go and work with those English translators to prepare a speech, and then send it to the director of our office in London, and let him give a speech." Disgust those Brits, don't disgust the British, then I'm not comfortable! ”

"Your Majesty, it's better to keep some virtue, after all, people are also dead, and the dead are great! People are dead, no matter how great the hatred is, it should be gone, right? Jun Ji-hyun said with some hesitation.

Wang Guorui shook his head and said, "No, no, no, you think I'm going to swear?" Don't worry, I'm swearing without dirty words! ”

In London, Buckingham Palace is preparing for someone to come and pay their respects. And this time is when Queen Victoria died, after all, this Queen Victoria is the grandmother of Europe, and then their descendants are all royal families of various countries, so no matter how the royal families of various countries are, they have to give face. No matter what happens to the countries now, no matter how many conflicts there are between Germany, Britain and other countries and the British, then they will not be able to find them bad luck at this time. So at this time, there are definitely a lot of people who come to mourn, even the French in the republican system, they all come to mourn. After all, France and Britain have been allies for many years, and this kind of ******** alliance will not be easily changed because of a change of government or the implementation of a different political system. Therefore, republican France and England can still be negotiated.

"Hua Changfeng, director of the Yanhuang Empire's office in London, on behalf of the Yanhuang Empire's government, Emperor Wang Guorui, and Wang Guorui's personal representative came to offer condolences!"

The nobles from all over the world who came to investigate heard the condolences of the director of the Chinese office in London, which made everyone feel interesting. After all, Wang Guorui was the emperor of China, but the British still had different opinions on whether to recognize the Yanhuang Empire. Because Wang Guorui did not recognize himself as the successor of the Manchu Qing, he did not recognize the treaty signed between the Manchus and the British, so the British were very embarrassed. If China is a weak person, they will naturally play as they want, but now China is not a weak person, and this is what they are embarrassed about.

As for the one who represents the emperor in the back, this one is a little surprising to everyone, isn't this representative of the emperor? Why is there a personal representative of Wang Guorui, isn't this too redundant? However, some people soon understood, after all, the European royal family is related to each other, since Wang Guorui is the husband of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and has a daughter, so it may be considered a younger generation of Queen Victoria, so it is not impossible to mourn on behalf of Wang Guorui personally.

Although the British did not have a good impression of Wang Guorui, it was impossible for them to come to mourn with the director of the Chinese government's office in London at this time, and it was also the representative of the Chinese royal family and Wang Guorui.

After Hua Changfeng, director of the Chinese office in London, signed a message on the condolence book, he finally began to give some speeches. However, this is generally the praise of those great men in various countries, and it is rare to say that he is at fault. After all, the country is still there, and it has not been overthrown, so it is naturally impossible to scold him. This kind of thinking that people die is greater is also found in foreign countries, at least for a country, the leader will not curse people after they die. If you curse people at this time, then I am afraid that many people will definitely be offended.

However, that Hua Changfeng was thinking in his heart: "This speech drafted by the emperor is really lacking in morality, I'm afraid that those British people may seem to be eating flies!" Maybe I'll have a good look at it later, but it will be really interesting at that time. Although our army can't fight the British, it's still okay to make them disgusting, let you bully us China for so many years, hum! (To be continued.) )
