"Baron Skeleton, it turns out that you are nothing more than that, the only thing that makes me wonder is why you are a legend?"

When Elizabeth asked this childish question, Sir Montrington and General Rosen had to hold back a smile and wait for Ernst. How would Bream answer this question.

Wang Weiyi was serious: "It's probably because I've never met a powerful opponent like you before." ”

"I'll be happier if I can defeat you on the battlefield." Elizabeth smiled like a flower: "Just like Joan of Arc"

Sir Monrington and General Rosen couldn't laugh or cry, as a future heir to the British throne, to worship their former enemies?

This is going to spread the word, and it is really detrimental to the majesty of the royal family of the British Empire

"Your Royal Highness, Earle Gray tea, your favorite afternoon tea." Fortunately, the arrival of the housekeeper resolved this embarrassment.

After the three of them sat down, Sir Montrington was a little incomprehensible: "Your Royal Highness, you should be in Scotland now, why do you have to join the army?" War is not a pleasant thing."

"All of England is fighting, and I'm no exception." Elizabeth's expression was very serious: "As a princess of the English royal family, only in this way can you inspire the courage of all England to fight to the end." My father and I begged for a long time and finally got his permission."

It is undeniable that Elizabeth was also a very brave woman.

This personality probably stems from her mother.

Elizabeth was 13 years old when World War II broke out, and she and her sister Princess Margaret had taken refuge in Balmoral, Scotland. At that time, it was suggested that the two princesses should take refuge in Canada. Met with opposition from their mothers: "Children cannot leave without me, I cannot leave without the king, and the king cannot leave under any circumstances." ”

In 1940, Princess Elizabeth made her first broadcast. It is aimed at all children who are in evacuation

Wang Weiyi took a sip of Earle Gray tea, and found that it was really not to his taste, he put down the cup, and heard Elizabeth say again: "When Prime Minister Churchill reported to my father, I heard some rumors, such as the United States has declared war on Japan, such as Baron Skeleton has arrived in London"

Speaking of which. She glanced at Wang Weiyi: "To be honest, not only me, but about half of the British people in London are interested in the Skeleton Baron. Of course. I used some royal privileges and was lucky enough to meet the Skull Baron, and hopefully the next time I see him on the battlefield, the Baron will stop letting me. Really let me see his bravery."

Wang Weiyi smiled. Got some liking for Elizabeth. She's naïve, but she's not stupid, she's even very shrewd.

She knew in her heart that even if ten Elizabeth were combined, they could not be the match for the Skeleton Baron, who was just letting her go like everyone else.

But after this "duel", coupled with the cheering of those who did not see it with their own eyes, Elizabeth, the future heir to the throne. It is obvious that the "duel" will add an aura of mystery to itself.

This is probably the real purpose of Elizabeth, who seems to be a little reckless

Yes, Wang Weiyi, a very smart girl, thought so in her heart.

"Will you go to tomorrow's regatta? Sir Monrington? Elizabeth suddenly asked.

"Ah, of course, my rowing boat, Prince Dobert, has been preparing for this event for a long time." Sir Montrington became interested, and then he said to General Rosen: "Rosen, where's your Hound Dog?" What kind of performance are you going to have this time? ”

General Rosen shrugged, "I don't expect a good place. Sir Monrington, I know that you have hired a very good rower, Bloss, and I? Not so good rowers. ”

Wang Weiyi was confused when he heard it on the side?

Rowing meeting? In the weather in December?

Probably seeing Wang Weiyi's doubts, General Rosen explained: "Your Excellency, it is a tradition to have a rowing competition before the winter season is approaching, and anyone who has rowing can participate. Ah, I forgot, Princess, I heard that you found a good rower this time, too? ”

"Are you talking about Lu Geyi?" Elizabeth looked a little helpless: "Poor Lu Geyi, he is sick, and now my 'Royal Princess' has no rowers"

"That's a disappointment to Philip's kindness, I heard that Lu Geyi is a rower that Philip personally selected for you." General Rosen said with some ambiguity.

Ah, Philip? That's the husband of the future Queen Elizabeth, right? Wang Weiyi quickly thought.

Elizabeth and Philip's acquaintance is legendary.

The future Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, was originally named Philip. Feng. Schleswig-Holstein-Zondeburg-Glücksburg. Born into a royal family in the decline of Europe. His father, Prince Andrew, was the fourth son of one of the seven sons of King George I of Greece, and his great-grandfather was King Christian IX of Denmark. Princess Alice of Batenberg is the great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria of England, who was a prince of Greece and Denmark before marrying the queen. When he was young, Philip was over 1.9 meters tall and had eyes that were very rare "steel blue". It is said that it was with these charming eyes that he conquered Queen Elizabeth's heart.

1939 year. King George VI and his family visited the Royal Naval School in Dartmouth, where 18-year-old Philip was attending. Young Philip took his cousins to the garden to play croquet and tennis, and it was the first meeting between the future Queen of England and her husband. During the game, 13-year-old Elizabeth notices Philip's athletic skills. When King George's yacht "Victoria and Albert" sailed out of Dartmouth, Philip "requisitioned" a small rowing boat. Paddled with all his might beside the Royal Yacht and ignoring the Victoria and Albert's increasingly harsh warning signs, the future Elizabeth II watched with interest how the handsome boy with pale yellow hair rowed hard. And how his father, King George, shouted "this damn fool", and how the Yugoslav queen who was standing next to him was embarrassed when she heard the king's curses, and finally let Philip leave in the loud and commanding voice of "Uncle Dickey" Mountbatten.

Elizabeth seems to have lamented that she could not participate in her rowing, which is probably a race that is very important to British high society.

At this time, Elizabeth's gaze fell strangely on Wang Weiyi, and then asked, "Your Excellency, do you know how to row?" ”

"Huh? Will be a little. Wang Weiyi quickly reacted to Elizabeth's meaning: "But, for the game or something." I don't know anything about it."

The countenances of Sir Monrington and General Rosen also changed at once, which was ridiculous.

Ernst. Who is Bream? That's the legendary skeleton baron, that's the generalissimo of the German Empire. It is a man of the hour who stomps his feet and the European continent trembles, and he is the most honored guest of Britain!

If Elizabeth really wants to use that brain, it will cause serious dissatisfaction among the guests. There may even be some diplomatic disputes to come

But. Before they could stop it, Elizabeth had already opened her mouth and said, "Then you don't need to understand anything, the only thing to do is to win the championship." Hey, Baron, I'm missing a rower right now, and you happen to be rowing, would you like to be my rower? ”

This. Sir Monrington and General Rosen were really shocked, and their eyes fell on Wang Weiyi. For fear of provoking Baron Alexon's fury.

Strangely, Wang Weiyi didn't look angry at all, but asked with interest: "So, what good can I do?" Ah, I must warn you, Your Highness, that I have no interest in money. ”

Princess Elizabeth immediately said, "So, what do you need to be able to be a rower?" ”

"Look, I don't want to show off anything, but I'm the Generalissimo of the German Empire after all, and I'll be laughed at if I play as your rower." Wang Weiyi blinked his eyes: "Or to put it this way, I represent Germany, a German baron acts as the rower of the English princess, do you think this is appropriate?" ”

Princess Elizabeth was speechless, she had just made such a seemingly unreasonable request in a sudden mood.

It's a shame that if it were really possible to hire the famous Baron Skeleton as his rower, it would cause a sensation in the world.

His name is bound to be known to the whole of Europe.

Unfortunately, if you think about it, your own ideas are too unrealistic.

However, Wang Weiyi then said slowly: "It's not that there is no solution."

Princess Elizabeth suddenly became excited.

Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "I can act as your rower, and I will try my best to help you get a good ranking, but the only requirement is that I want to own the name of this boat, the 'Royal Princess' I have to own half of the 'Royal Princess' boat, although a rowing boat is not worth much and, when the competition is over, you have to publicly announce this"

Sir Monrington didn't even think about it, and immediately shook his head quietly at Elizabeth.

Ernst. Bream was so cunning that if the "Royal Princess" were to be co-owned by a future heir to the throne of England and a German baron, it would cause an uproar throughout Europe.

Many would immediately see this as a change in the relationship between Britain and Germany

Although Sir Montrington was pro-German, this did not mean that he was a traitor, and such a matter must not be made public until the German-British question was properly resolved.

Elizabeth, however, did not seem to see Sir Monrington's expression at all, but her face was filled with infinite anticipation: "Are you telling the truth, Baron?" ”

You have to know how sensational it is to have Baron Skeleton compete for him, but not everyone has the opportunity to do so.

She probably didn't think about the impact of having Baron Alexon in possession of the "Royal Princess".

Or. She had other intentions

Elizabeth looked excited: "I agree with your request, but I also have one more request. You'll have to take the top three in this contest before I can announce. ”

Wang Weiyi smiled and nodded.

To be honest, he wasn't sure he would get a good position, he had been training before, and he had done rowing, which required strength and skill to be his own. The approximate ranking will not be far behind.

Moreover, my most important purpose is not to win any ranking. Rather, he owns a yacht with Princess Elizabeth.

Even if Elizabeth doesn't announce it, she will figure it out

Sir Montrington and General Rosen were dumbfounded, they had not expected such an outcome at all. It's terrible, it's terrible. It's going to cause a storm. And maybe it's going to be a big storm.

Elizabeth's ridiculous idea is going to throw Europe into a mess. But what is even worse is that Baron Alexson seems to be unwilling to give up such an opportunity at all.

Baron Skeleton was too clever to know what opportunities to seize and when. Once the opportunity arises, he will never give up.

Now, a conundrum is soon coming to the British, and especially the British government

The current King George VI of the United Kingdom was known as "Bertie" by his family, and "Prince Albert" by the public until he ascended the throne. He was the second son of George V and Queen Mary. In 1920 he became Duke of York, Earl of Inverness and Baron of Killarney. At the time, it seemed that he had no chance of succeeding to the throne. Because his brother, the very popular and intelligent Crown Prince Edward, was ahead of him in the line of succession.

Because of this. Prince Albert was allowed to serve in the Royal Navy during the First World War and was given greater freedom in choosing his wife. In 1923 he finally married Elizabeth after being rejected several times. Bowes. Leon married. Since they were unlikely to inherit the throne, the couple were able to raise their two daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret, in a more normal environment.

Albert was very shy and suffered from a severe stutter all his life. He was unhappy when he learned that his brother, who had succeeded Edward VIII in 1936, had finally decided to abdicate for marital reasons and would succeed to the throne himself. He ascended the throne at Westminster Abbey on 12 May 1937 and changed his name to George VI, in keeping with Queen Victoria's last wishes, so that all British monarchs could not be named "Albert" after his accession, and on the other hand, to re-establish public confidence in the royal family by using the same name as his father.

Two years later, when the Second World War broke out, the royal family, who were of low prestige at the time, hoped to be a role model for leading the country to victory, and they were indeed an important factor in maintaining the fighting spirit of the British people in the Second World War.

Now, the king, who suffers from a severe stutter, looks at his daughter Elizabeth with loving eyes: "He agreed? ”

"Yes, father, he agreed." Elizabeth nodded: "And, as you supposed, he made some demands in order to show everyone that Germany and Britain were easing the tensions of the war. ”

When she said this, Elizabeth had a look of reverence in her eyes.

George VI smiled slightly: "Yes, as I expected." Tell me, what kind of person is Baron Alexon? ”

"Him?" Elizabeth thought for a moment: "A very young, very attractive man. Father, I have to admit that he can fascinate many women, and he is a true gentleman in his conversation, but the only thing that makes me wonder is why do you want to do it in such a way? Even the Prime Minister, Mr. Prime Minister, did not know what to say. ”

"My child, I have to." George VI put away his smile: "I have been forced to take this position, and now the burden on me has become heavier and heavier, and the pressure on Britain has become heavier and heavier. Maybe Churchill didn't tell me, but I'm well aware of the current state of affairs in Britain. Baron Alexon came with peace sincerity, and he had the support of many people, but at home, there were still many people who opposed any kind of negotiation with Germany, and Churchill and Monrington were under a lot of pressure, and in such a situation, someone needed to share something for them, and that person was me. ”

Elizabeth was stunned and said, "But this will damage your reputation."

"Does that matter, my child?" George VI smiled again and said, "I shouldn't have sat in this position in the first place, but since I have become the king of England, I must be responsible for this country, no matter what the price I have to pay for it." Elizabeth, when this matter is announced, it will cause a sensation and will put the opposition in a very embarrassing position, and I am ready to abdicate. ”

"What? Father, you can't abdicate! Elizabeth cried out, "It's not fair, it's not fair!" ”

"Elizabeth, don't get excited." George VI still smiled calmly: "There is no such thing as absolute fairness, and each of us has to do something to end the war." When I abdicate, you will be Queen of England, and I hope you will remember what I used to say to you. God has given us this right, and what we can do is to cherish it. ”

Elizabeth looked at her father, and suddenly, a line of tears flowed from her eyes. (To be continued......)
