The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into solidification. Queen Victoria stared viciously at the Marquis of Anglesey, Secretary of State for War, with hatred and anger in her eyes. However, a trace of horror could be clearly seen in her eyes. At this moment, the royal family is like a paper tiger, they can only pretend to be very fierce, but in fact, they can only scare people by virtue of their appearance.

Face the Marquis of Anglesey, the War Secretary, who controls millions of troops, and the Earl of Stanley, the Prime Minister, who controls the actual power of the whole of Britain. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, are completely at a disadvantage. Even though the British royal family has a lot of influence in high society. However, in this particular period, the Cabinet, which controls the government and the military, is the real master of Britain. Once the Earl of Stanley and the Marquis of Anglesey decided to make a move against the royal family, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would simply not be able to resist it.

"Your Excellency, is this your loyalty to the royal family? Is this the oath you made to God when you inherited the title? Prince Albert said angrily. As a high-ranking nobleman of the country, when inheriting the title, he will swear allegiance to the king. The Marquis of Anglesey naturally went through such a procedure, but now, he wants to threaten the queen, which is simply a big rebellion!

"No, Your Royal Highness, I am not threatening the Queen, everything I have done is for the British Empire and for the benefit of the whole of Britain!" The Marquis of Anglesey tilted his head + to meet Prince Albert's gaze, and there was no intention of dodging at all.

"Your Majesty, everything we do is for the sake of the British Empire. There is the British Empire in existence. You are the noble Queen, if not for the British Empire. Then, you will no longer be the noble queen. Please think about it carefully! Earl Stanley also said.

"You ......," said Queen Victoria. But it was stopped by Prince Albert.

"You two, Victoria and I know that you are for the sake of your country. However, the wealth of the royal family does not only belong to the queen, but to all members of the royal family. We need time to convince the other royals! "Prince Albert chose to compromise. Compared to Queen Victoria, Prince Albert's political wisdom is much higher. He knew that this time the Earl of Stanley and the Marquis of Anglesey had already made up their minds, if the royal family did not cooperate. If you choose to confront each other, you will really tear your face with the cabinet. At this time, the royal family did not have the strength to confront the cabinet. Britain's millions of troops are in the hands of the Cabinet. If the cabinet is forced to abolish Queen Victoria's rule, they will be the ones who are really unlucky.

The Earl of Stanley and the Marquis of Anglesey looked at each other and nodded in agreement. They also know that they can't force the royal family hard. After all, if the royal family is overthrown. For them, it's not a good thing either. This will certainly cause turmoil in British society, and there are many people who are loyal to the royal family. When the time comes, unrest breaks out in Britain. It is only the Chinese who are happy. If it is not possible to weaken China, then God knows if those Prussians will use it as an excuse. What about the refusal to honor the secret covenant in the future?

"Well, Your Highness. We can give the royal family three days to think about it. We hope that the royal family and the cabinet will be able to come to an agreement. We all need to think out for the good of the British Empire. And not only looking out for their own interests! Earl Stanley said.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is right, if there is any opposition among the members of the royal family, the cabinet and the army will support the royal family!" The Minister of War, Marquis Anglesey, also said.

Prince Albert nodded, still smiling on his face. But the anger on Queen Victoria's face could not be concealed.

When the Earl of Stanley and the Marquess of Anglesey left Buckingham Palace, Queen Victoria's anger erupted again.

"My dear, why are you compromising with them? I am the Queen of England and I am supreme. How dare they threaten me, it's a big rebellion! Queen Victoria trembled with excitement.

"No, dear. It's a time of war, the Cabinet has the army, they have all the power, and we can't confront them at this time. Besides, in recent years, there have been calls for the abolition of the royal family in China, and without the support of the cabinet, I am afraid that the royal family will really be abolished. Prince Albert shook his head.

"Do they really have the guts?" Queen Victoria still couldn't believe it.

"My dear, at this time, anything that could happen is possible. Therefore, we can only compromise and not provoke them! Prince Albert said. He knew that if he offended the cabinet at this time, they might be in trouble.

"Then are we really going to hand over the wealth in the hands of the royal family to the cabinet? The rest of the royal family won't agree. Queen Victoria said. At the same time, she was reluctant. The wealth accumulated by the royal family over hundreds of years is undoubtedly an astronomical amount. If you give it away for nothing, it's simply unacceptable. What's more, Queen Victoria was originally a money-hungry person.

"My dear, for the sake of the throne, we can only choose to compromise. As for those who oppose the royal family, we can just leave it to the cabinet to deal with. In this case, the rest of the royal family will be people who support us! A cruel smile appeared on Prince Albert's face. There is no shortage of ambitious people in the royal family, who oppose Queen Victoria. In times of peace, the royal family is concerned about the influence and cannot act against them. But now, they can use the cabinet to borrow a knife to kill.

"Honey, what a genius you are!" Queen Victoria was immediately happy.

"But are we really going to give all our wealth to the Cabinet?" As soon as she said this, Queen Victoria was a little reluctant.

"Of course not! The Cabinet simply does not know how much wealth we have, we only need to give half of it to the Cabinet, and that is enough! The remaining half, the royal family needs to find another place to hide, and then use it to deal with other emergencies. Prince Albert said. How much wealth the royal family has, the cabinet is not clear. After all, the cabinet is a servant of the royal family, and has no power to manage the private property of the royal family at all, and can only make approximate inferences. However, this is too far from the wealth that the royal family actually has.

"Well, dear. Then give them half of the wealth! However, it is unforgivable that the Earl of Stanley and the Marquis of Anglesey, they dare to threaten the royal family. We must find an opportunity to get rid of them! A hint of anger flashed across Queen Victoria's face. The threat of the Marquis of Anglesey was a shame to her.

"Well, Victoria, it's all up to you. However, we can't do it yet, and we can't do it until we get through this crisis. Perhaps, when the time comes, we will not need to do it at all, and the angry people will directly tear them to pieces! Prince Albert said with a smile.

After the defeat, Britain will definitely pay a heavy price. And the people will live out of thin air because of this, and when the time comes, the anger of the people will inevitably go to the cabinet. The Stanley Cabinet will certainly be overthrown by the people. The royal family, on the other hand, can take the opportunity to grab more full strength. Once ousted, whether it is the Earl of Stanley or the Marquis of Anglesey, their strength will be greatly reduced. It would be much easier for the royal family to deal with them.

"Hmm!" Queen Victoria nodded. To be able to become the queen of England, she is naturally not a fool. It's just that it's easy to be impulsive a lot of times. But as soon as Prince Albert said it, she understood. In true history, the reign of Queen Victoria has been called the most glorious period of Britain. In fact, this is inseparable from Prince Albert's credit. Many times, Queen Victoria is just a puppet. And Prince Albert is the real top decision-maker in Britain.

Subsequently, the British royal family, with the help of the cabinet and the army, eliminated the opponents of the royal family. At the same time, they also delivered half of their wealth to the cabinet. These riches, including more than three thousand tons of gold and various gold and silver jewelry, were worth a total of an estimated billion pounds. And in the hands of the British royal family, there is another half of the wealth. These riches were scattered and hidden all over England.

The British Cabinet naturally knows about the small movements of the British royal family. It's just that they don't know how much wealth the royal family has set aside. This, together with this billion-pound fortune, has satisfied the Cabinet. Therefore, the royal family and the cabinet are still living in peace.

While the royal family and the cabinet were clash in secret, the island of Ireland seemed to be forgotten. by British Army General Edward. Hundreds of thousands of British troops led by Blakeney also fought fiercely with the Chinese army on the island of Ireland. It's just that the British army's counterattack is like a trapped beast fighting.

On 14 July, the vanguard of the Imperial Army's 13th Army had appeared on the outskirts of Dublin. Subsequently, the Imperial army launched an attack on Dublin. Edward. Admiral Blakeney led the LinkedIn Army in a counterattack. However, because of the Irish independence movement and the Jacobite Party, many British officers surrendered to the Chinese Army, which made the British defense line full of holes.

In just two days, the 13th Army of the Imperial Army captured Dublin. Most of the British troops stationed in Dublin surrendered, and only a handful were killed. The Imperial Army's 14th Army also took the opportunity to occupy most of the island of Ireland. The fall of the island of Ireland is inevitable. (To be continued......)
