The year 1882 was marked by two momentous events for Britain. The first thing was the outbreak of revolution in Egypt, and the newly incumbent Fatherland Party formed a cabinet that formed a state that opposed British colonial rule and emphasized the autonomy of Egyptians. Alabi became Minister of War and the system of double supervision was abolished.

The second event, which had a relatively small impact on the British government, but which had a profound impact on Gladstone personally, was the death of Empress Eugenie.

Eugénie's death has brought great shock to London, and the fact that a regent of a former French royal family was robbed and killed in London will make everyone wonder if there is any other political conspiracy behind it. When Prime Minister Gladstone received the news, he immediately suspected that the Tuileries Palace was behind the scenes, but the British side did not dare to rashly accuse Napoleon of a series of conspiracies and assassinations because of the lack of evidence.

Gladstone knew that it was his letter that caused the trouble, and although he had cleared up the relationship, he also left it behind without careful consideration. So when Queen Victoria summoned him, he deliberately concealed this detail. If the queen knows that she secretly intervened to cause Eugenie's death, I am afraid that his political career as prime minister will be miserable.

Queen Victoria has been depressed since Eugénie's death, and she has repeatedly urged Prime Minister Gladstone to catch the murderer of Empress Eugénie, but the police have searched all over London and have not found any clues.

This incident was not as simple as robbery, but more of a political conspiracy. Gladstone knew very well that Napoleon knew that he would not dare to speak out, so he boldly carried out the assassination plan.

"Gladstone, Lord Gladstone, are you listening to me?"

Queen Victoria called both sides, Gladstone came back from his contemplation, he looked back at Victoria, nodded quickly, and said, "We have notified all the police in London to be on heightened alert, and the whole of London is tracking down the whereabouts of Eugenie's murderer, and after investigation, we found that this incident is even worse than Scotland Yard imagined." Every knife of the murderer was fatal, and there was no possibility of letting Eugenie go. ”

Queen Victoria said meaningfully, "Does Prime Minister Gladstone really think this is just a simple robbery?" ”

Prime Minister Greston looked the Queen in the eye and did not dodge. He re-emphasized.

"From the evidence available to Scotland Yard so far, this is indeed a robbery. We have not been able to find any evidence that other forces are involved. So the death of Empress Eugenie...... For the time being, it can be attributed to the accident of robbery and homicide. ”

"An accident of robbery and murder?"

"Even I can see that you think it's just a simple robbery accident?"

Queen Victoria shook her head angrily and amusefully, and asked Gladstone, "Is this what you call the result?" ”

"Yes."

Prime Minister Gladstone, of course, could not have implicated the British government in this conspiracy, and quickly lied and said, "So far we have no direct evidence, so we can only define this incident as a robbery and murder." If Queen Victoria insists that this is a conspiracy of revenge, the British government will conduct a cautious investigation, but it may not have the outcome Her Majesty wants, because everything that surrounds Eugénie will eventually become a secret. ”

He had made it clear that the Queen of England was reluctant to delve into the matter because they feared they would end up putting themselves in it.

The British dared to accuse the Tuileries Palace of being the murderer behind the scenes, and it is estimated that Napoleon dared to shake out the letter written by Gladstone to the other party, so that he was involved in this conspiracy in disguise.

On the surface, they still need to maintain a friendly and cooperative relationship with the royal family.

The Queen of England understood Gladstone's expression, and she got the answer she wanted from the other side.

"I just want to ask, did they plan it?"

Queen Victoria tried to maintain her peace on the surface, but she still had mixed feelings on the inside.

Gladstone whispered, "It is indeed a conspiracy planned by them, and the British government does not want to get too involved in this issue, so it ......"

"Okay, I see."

Queen Victoria waved her hand, and she sighed, "I didn't want to interfere with anything, I just wanted to know an answer." Now I know the answer, I won't ask what the British government is going to do, but if there is to be a war in the future, Paris will be killed. ”

With Napoleon IV dead, and Eugénie now dead, Queen Victoria felt as if she had lost some important sustenance.

"Remember, I'm going to make that triumphant face finally pay for my mistakes."

Queen Victoria restrained her anger, she knew that she was only a powerless queen, and she could not change anything, so she could only quietly wait for the right time.

Prime Minister Gladstone just nodded, he suddenly remembered that there was another question, and remembered her attitude towards Napoleon now, and hurriedly said to Queen Victoria, "There is one more thing I need the support of the British royal family, and then France and Britain may completely tear their faces on the issue of Egypt, but now Congress is holding on to our war budget." The UK is ready not to have the same bad situation as before. ”

Before Granston came to power, he promised not to engage in war expansion at will, but when he came to power, he directly violated his own principles. Continue to advance the war. This made Congress very unhappy.

The previous Boer wars were themselves a mess, but the Egyptian issue was a very different one, a test of Gladstone-style diplomacy, which tried to emphasize the strength of the British in North Africa.

Although Queen Victoria is only the nominal head of state, many noble members of Parliament have a close relationship with the Wang family, so she still has a little weight in her words.

"Egypt."

"The British royal family will show their attitude for the sake of it, and we only need a commitment from Prime Minister Gladstone now. In the case of Egypt, will you be able to suppress the revolt and expel all the French? ”

Victoria stared into Gladstone's eyes and asked word by word, "Can you wipe out the damned French?" ”

"Absolutely."

Gladstone took advantage of this opportunity and said, "We're going to get those hateful French guys out of this land." There is also the right to reclaim the use of the Suez Canal. The Tuileries Palace will never again have a chance to cross the question of North Africa. ”

"Good."

Queen Victoria took a deep breath and said coldly and calmly, "I want to see the disgraced leaders of the Tuileries, and I want to see a guy pretending to be Napoleon pay for what he has done." ”

"I'm going to let the French ZTE stop here."
