"Fifty-five years ago, I stood here, and I said to those before me: I have taken the gravest attention to the events which have taken place in China, which have caused the severance of trade relations between our subjects and the country, and will continue to pay attention to this event, which affects the interests of our subjects and the dignity of the royal family.

As a result, the Diet passed the war proposal, and the first Sino-British war broke out.

Whether that war was moral or not, I am not prepared to preach and judge here. Justice is never paramount to the national interest, and it is even less important to the monarch.

As long as war is in the interests of the British Empire, it should be waged.

The capital of the Seychelles, the largest lake in Africa, Victoria Falls, the capital of British Columbia, two states of Australia, and Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, China, are all named after me. Yes, I am Alexandrina, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Queen of India. Victoria, this series of noble titles, this series of 'Victoria', are the result of the war.

As one of the few female monarchs in the history of Great Britain, my name, given the title of the era, is a symbol of honour and a symbol of an era of unprecedented glory. 1837~1894, my 57-year reign, was the peak of the British Empire in all aspects.

And all this was achieved by war.

Fifty-five years ago, Governor Lin of China wrote to me asking me to intervene to stop the opium trade. What nonsense! Personally, I despise those addicts very much, but opium is good for the country, otherwise what would we use to get back the lost silver from China? So contrary to the wishes of the Governor of Lin. I addressed Parliament and called for "the good of the British Empire". War against China.

And so a new era began. The empire's colonization of the Far East went further, and victory came with great ease. The plundering began. For 55 years. The empire reaped unimaginable benefits from China.

And not only China, but also the British Empire planted the flag in many places such as the Suez Canal and New Zealand. Let's not forget the foundations on which the empire on which the sun never sets.

The plains of North America and Russia are our cornfields, Canada and the Baltic Sea are our wooded areas, Australia is our pastures, Peru is our silver mines, South Africa and Australia are our gold mines, India and China are our tea plantations, and the East Indies are our sugar cane, coffee. Spice Plantation, the southern United States is our cotton plantation. Three-quarters of the world's population served the British Empire. On my territory, the sun never sets.

And how did all this come about? Don't forget about war, always remember it, keep a clear brain and a sane heart, and remember the path to the rise of the empire! ”

On the third day of the sixth lunar month, Liu Xian saw a queen's speech forwarded by the European Office. This was the Queen's parliamentary speech -- "The Sun Never Sets" -- "The Sun Never Sets" -- that day, which was delivered by the "Times", "Daily Telegraph", "The Guardian", "The Sun", and many other British heavyweight media.

"He is truly the architect of the Victorian era."

The plains of North America and Russia are our cornfields, and Canada and the Baltic Sea are our forest areas. Australia...... Three-quarters of the world's population served the British Empire. On my territory, the sun never sets.

Liu Xian was very envious. What a fiery self-confidence and great feats it takes. Look at this momentum!? What king doesn't want to be happy? Liu Xian suddenly had a trace of regret. It's a shame that you haven't seen this old European grandmother in person!

Just this one paragraph. This queen is not a rubber stamp. The mighty empire on which the sun never sets, is now truly brilliant and dazzling. Queen Victoria was not at the helm of the British Empire, but she was definitely the spiritual leader of the British Empire.

Under the pattern of a constitutional monarchy. She only leads right, not with an iron fist. Bringing the British Empire to its zenith was the proudest thing a monarch could ever do.

But this glorious empire on which the sun never sets is already in decline. A Boer war cost them too much money, and a Sino-Russian war that left Britain draining its treasury. The pace of social innovation in Britain has stalled, it has been left far behind the new world led by virtue, and the historical failure of the British Empire has been defeated by its lack of complacency in technological innovation. It's like being infected by the bad disease of the former Qing Dynasty.,Blindly arrogant.,Proud!

Liu Xian came out of the admiration, his mind regained his composure, and wondered if he would also give a speech, although there was no radio yet, just like Queen Victoria, writing it in the newspaper could boost morale. But the literature in the stomach is limited, and after thinking about it again, I still pull it.

In June, the flames of war had been ignited. From the Aral Sea to the West Siberian Plain, more than 600,000 Wehrmacht troops flooded across the Sino-Russian border for thousands of miles.

Behind these front-line troops are two reserve armies with a total strength of more than 300,000 troops. These are the real essence of the construction of the Wehrmacht over the past three years. Whether it is the airship army, paratroopers, mechanized troops, or armored troops, they are all concentrated in this group of troops. Because of the huge amount of equipment and the lot of equipment that had to be covered up to the greatest extent, the more than 300,000 troops were not only slow to assemble, but also slow to advance towards the Russian border.

The airship flew only at night and landed at its intended flight site before dawn. The armored vehicles and tanks, since they are about to start, of course, it is impossible to really achieve absolute secrecy along the way, but they are also doing the greatest precautions. It's still the same old saying - the killer is in a new word. It's all about suddenness, it's all about getting the most out of new equipment.

But Liu Xian's attention was not on the Western Front at all, and his eyes were always on Singapore's Combined Fleet. It was a huge fleet that could be crippled by an army -- the British, Spanish and Dutch countries joined forces to have a total of two battleships, two 10,000-ton ironclad ships, five second-class ironclad ships, and five large-tonnage armored cruisers, making a total of 14 capital ships. And that's not counting the top-tonnage dome cruisers and protective cruisers.

And the British Navy, which is the main force, is really a deterrent, although they haven't touched the real guy for a long time. But Liu Xian just doesn't have much confidence in his own navy, and he always feels that if he really pulls to the sea to fight, he may lose himself. I always feel that China's navy is too lacking in war experience and time.

The United Fleet, a huge group of warships on the water, was parked in Singapore Harbor at this moment, and Liu Xian did not have the ability to let the airship fly to Singapore to play bombing. None of the airships have been tested in the deep sea, at most they are on the shore. The wind at sea is too strong and too fickle.

Liu Xian did not know when the huge fleet would go north, and the British army there was only trying to eliminate the Chinese community and small groups of armed forces in the city, and a large number of Chinese fled from Singapore, and the British did not stop them. Liu Xian felt that the British were the Iron King, so did they want the Nanyang Fleet to take the initiative to provoke for a while?

Can't! can only make a fuss about Lan Fang. Liu Mingchuan has divided his troops into two routes, and he has gone north to attack the Luzon Islands and has landed on Mindanao. On the other hand, a battalion of troops, called five American-flagged merchant ships, landed in Semarang and seized control of this important city with little effort with the cooperation of the local Chinese People's League.

The troops also expanded to six or seven thousand people like balloons.

However, Singapore and Batavia, which are not far away, are all immovable, and Liu Mingchuan's main forces at hand can only stay in the two cities of Pontianak and Kuching. The troops he used for the Luzon raids were only five or six thousand people, and the main force was only one battalion of regular troops, and the rest were Lan Fang's militia volunteers.

Singapore's combined fleet did not move, and the main Dutch and Indian forces in Batavia were not dispatched, so Liu Xian could only order the troops in the Malay Peninsula and Lan Fong to make persistent efforts.

The former had to press on Singapore and put pressure on the British, while attacking Lower Burma with the Taiping Army and part of the Yunnan garrison, echoing the uprising of the anti-British forces on the Shan Plateau.

The latter needs to make bigger waves in Luzon and Java, making both Manila and Batavia nervous, and also to put pressure on Spain and the Netherlands, the two leading brothers, the United Kingdom.

He himself took a special train and took the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard to the south to Songhu. In the city of Beijing, he also couldn't sit still.

War is so immeasurable. I thought that with the arrogance of the British, as soon as this war started, it should not be pressed in by warships, and a big war aimed at severely damaging or even annihilating the Nanyang Fleet would immediately come. As a result, such a powerful combined fleet was stunned to stay in Singapore, and the Beiyang Fleet on this side was about to arrive in Hawaii.

Liu Xian could only stare at the war situation in the Malay Peninsula and Java, and at the same time look at the war in Sumatra, where the Chinese also had a strong force, and the Qin consortium and the Chinese government had many oil fields and many seaports and docks in Sumatra.

The average Dutch and Indian army was so weak that it had to use the main forces of Batavia.

The British also made a move. As the Defence Force and the Taiping Army approached the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, the British forces in Singapore began to move north, massing outside Kuala Lumpur and soon launching an offensive against Kuala Lumpur.

Kuala Lumpur has a militia group organized entirely by local Chinese children, and then trained by Defence Force instructors, with a strength of 3,000 people, is it strong?

It's powerful.

In the entire Malay Peninsula, except for the British, the Kuala Lumpur Chinese were able to sweep away all the indigenous sultans with these 3,000 militias.

But in the face of the 20,000 British lobster soldiers killed in Singapore, no matter how strong the 3,000 militia is, they have to stop cooking. The leader directly gave up Kuala Lumpur, anyway, the discipline of the British is still good, of course, looting is indispensable, but there are not many killings. Many Chinese also deliberately sent their eldest girls and little daughters-in-law to hidden places outside the city, or hid them in the cellar of their homes.

They won't fight the British. In a few days, the army of his own family will be killed. At that time, it will be better to fight well, and now it is completely a loss-making deal. The British alone had more than 100 cannons, which was too much stronger than the Kuala Lumpur militia. (To be continued......)
