Chapter 328: Proposal

On the mainland of the British Empire, the newly appointed Prime Minister Duke Jackson recently put forward a new proposal, based on the good performance of Paradise Island for a period of time, he proposed to implement the abolition of slavery in more parts of the Empire, or even cancel it altogether, this proposal set off a huge wave in the entire Cabinet Council, because when the abolition of slavery was tried out on Paradise Island, it was opposed by many people, and it also caused a lot of controversy and panic among ordinary people in the Empire. Later, the reason why the queen agreed to test it on Paradise Island was mainly because she thought that Paradise Island was far overseas, and no matter what the outcome was, its impact would be controllable, and at the same time, it could also appease some people in the country through this system to curb the development of the republican revolution.

So in the eyes of many people, it is a very distant thing to really abolish slavery, and it is impossible to achieve it without going through a rather long process, and now Duke Jackson has just sat in the position of Prime Minister and put forward such a proposal, which is incredible.

Of course, when Duke Jackson first proposed this proposal, most people were briefly surprised and did not take it too seriously, because although Jackson was the prime minister, although he put forward the proposal, it was not so easy to pass.

According to the process, the cabinet members must first unanimously pass, this is not difficult, the bill proposed by the prime minister will generally not be opposed by cabinet members, because this proposal is not an ordinary administrative resolution, involving the repeal of the bill, so it needs to be discussed and reviewed by the House of Commons of the Reich, and then submitted to the Reich House of Lords for verification after the review is passed, and finally signed by Her Majesty the Queen.

Of course, if the queen directly signs the queen's decree, all the processes can be simplified, but if slavery is completely abolished, there are many issues involved, political, people's livelihood, economic, and even moral and ethical aspects, and the queen is unlikely to make a decision directly.

In addition to these potential constraints, there is another point that will make the proposal die, the speaker of the Imperial House of Lords is Duke Thomas, he has always been Duke Jackson's sworn enemy, everyone has lost count of how many times the two have fought over a certain proposal, many times the dispute has even gone beyond the proposal itself, and has become opposition for the sake of opposition, plus Duke Thomas has always been a staunch opponent of the abolition of slavery, so it is unlikely that Duke Jackson wants to pass him.

However, surprisingly, when Duke Jackson put forward a proposal to abolish slavery, other officials, large and small, did not speak up, but the always cautious Duke Thomas was the first to express his support for Duke Jackson's proposal, and his statement surprised everyone.

In Thomas's internal statement, he pointed out that in order to consolidate the rule of the British Empire, the empire must make a little change, and the abolition of slavery can alleviate many class contradictions, release the goodwill of reform to the people, and also silence some revolutionaries.

Duke Thomas's statement is sincere, it is completely from the position of the empire and the royal family to share the queen's worries, but not many people want to believe the reasons in his statement, and everyone thinks that Duke Thomas must have his own little ninety-nine.

Believe it or not, all in all, Duke Thomas is openly supporting Duke Jackson, and now he has pushed the problem in front of the queen.

The queen didn't say anything after reading the proposal, just told Duke Jackson to follow the normal process, and report to her at any time if there was any situation. The queen had no opinion, but Duke Philip put forward his own opinion, he thought that the cabinet headed by Duke Jackson should first come up with a package of solutions to the problems that might arise after the abolition of slavery, and then consider whether to go through the abolition process, and should send someone to Paradise Island to organize a vote to see what the citizens of the empire there think about the abolition of slavery, and what practical problems they encountered during the trial period. Duke Philip's proposal was also very reasonable, so it was quickly supported by many officials and nobles.

Duke Jackson also gladly accepted Duke Philip's proposal, and he suggested to the queen that he should take the lead and set up a temporary high-level delegation to Paradise Island to find out in person with Duke Philip, Duke Thomas and other important members of the empire.

In the royal palace of the Empire, the aged Queen sat in a chair in the corner with a dull expression, and on the throne she was supposed to sit on was a young woman, and in front of the woman was Duke Philip, who had recently been very favored.

"What's the matter, don't you want to come down again when you sit on the queen's throne?" , Philip asked with a smile as he looked at the young woman on the throne.

The young woman said disdainfully: "Cut, what is there to be nostalgic for, isn't it just an ordinary chair, and it's not the first time I've sat on it." ”

"You don't want to sit, there are a lot of people who think, it's not an ordinary chair, that's the supreme right."

"As long as you have everything under control, it doesn't matter if you sit in this chair or not. By the way, what do you think of Jackson's proposal? ”

When Duke Philip heard Jackson's name, he walked up and down the room with his hands behind his back, and said, "This Duke is not simple, I always feel as if he has not been transformed by memory. ”

"Not transformed by memory? Impossible, right? Didn't you secretly retrieve the script materials of the major magnates of the British Empire before coming to Landis? ”

"Yes, I also think it's strange, there is a record of his transformation in the data. Could it be that there is something wrong with the alpha chip? ”

"It's possible, but it's not absolute, we're just skeptical right now."

"So what are you going to do next? Are you really going to go to Paradise Island with Jackson and them? ”

"Why not? I also want to know what exactly our Cotani professor is doing there? ”

"But there will be dangers in this trip, Jackson and Thomas can come together to find common ground, and the target is obviously you."

"So what? As long as you are the queen, they don't dare to do anything to me. Of course, just in case, I will have the newly appointed commander of the expeditionary force go with me. ”

"Alas, it's a pity that we only have a puppet chip in our hands, so if we have a little more, why bother so much."

"There's nothing to be sorry for, we should be content with one of them, you know, this puppet chip was I got it at the risk of becoming space junk."

At Jackson Castle on the outskirts of the imperial capital, Duke Thomas's carriage roared under the protection of a large number of guards, and after getting out of the carriage, Duke Thomas quickly entered the castle.

The two powerful imperial dignitaries sat together, looking at each other and smiling, and Jackson was the first to ask, "How is it, have you thought it all through?" ”

Duke Thomas also smiled and said, "Of course I think about it, otherwise why would I come to see you?" ”

"Well, as long as you think about it, you and I can't stop us together."

After some conversation, Duke Thomas quickly left Duke Jackson's castle under the protection of a group of guards.

Far away on the outskirts of the castle, two mysterious men crawling in a meadow looked at Duke Thomas's motorcade as they looked away, and got up to leave.
