In the distant British Empire, the government and the opposition have been very lively in the past two days, because the queen of the empire actually promoted the title of Baron Philip, making him jump directly from a baron to a duke, not only that, but there are also a lot of rumors that Her Majesty intends to let this Duke Philip take over her class.

In a legal sense, Her Majesty has no problem promoting anyone's title, not to mention being promoted from a baron to a duke, even if it is directly promoted from a commoner to a duke, but before that, no imperial monarch has done this, after all, the right belongs to the right, and the public cannot be indifferent, after all, the aristocratic system is the foundation of the imperial rule, if the aristocratic status is given at will, and the noble title is promoted at will, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the imperial rule, But Her Majesty did just that, without consulting anyone.

Of course, Her Majesty has only promoted a baron, which is unconventional, but it can barely be said, but she can't say anything about the newly promoted Duke Philip. In the British Empire, the choice of the imperial monarch is decided in accordance with the law of succession to the throne, and the heirs to the throne stipulated in the succession law are also the sons of the imperial monarch.

Similarly, the imperial monarch can also ask the imperial parliament to amend the law of succession to the throne according to his will, unlike the ancient Eastern Empire, where the son inherits his father's business, in the Western Empire, the monarch is not too special to be succeeded by a non-heir, but at least in the current succession law of the British Empire, the previous succession belongs to the children of the monarch, and although Prince William died of illness, there is also Prince Charlie, even if Prince Charles has some accidents, Prince William's son is also qualified to take over, and he is lined up, In any case, it will not be the turn of a small collateral baron.

Therefore, for these rumors, most of the people of the empire, including the ruling elites, feel that they are chasing after the wind, and the queen may not know why she suddenly appreciates Baron Philip, but it is impossible for him to succeed him.

However, despite this, the rumors that Duke Philip might succeed him made everyone uneasy, especially Duke Thomas and Duke Jackson, because if this rumor did turn out to be true, then their years of hard work would be in vain, and they were completely unfamiliar with this Duke Philip.

In Duke Jackson's castle, all the letters sent from Paradise Island were spread out on the table, and the secret reports sent by the boat day and night made Jackson very surprised, James, the governor of Paradise Island, was actually assassinated, who was so bold as to dare to assassinate a dignified imperial governor?

In the letter, Sandro told Jackson that although James had not been in danger of his life since his assassination, he had been unconscious, and if this continued, he would arrange for a ship to send James back to the empire, so that Paradise Island would be leaderless, so he suggested that Jackson quickly appoint a new island governor.

Because the matter was not too big but not too small, Jackson wrote back to Sandro on the one hand, asking him to stabilize the situation on Paradise Island, especially not to let their secrets on Paradise Island leak anything, and on the other hand, he also reported the situation to the Imperial Cabinet and Her Majesty. However, Her Majesty doesn't seem to care much about this matter, just let Jackson catch the murderer as soon as possible, as for the candidate for the new governor, Her Majesty let Jackson decide by himself, and after thinking it through, he only needs to report to the cabinet for approval, the queen's attitude makes Jackson even more confused, because this is too different from Her Majesty's usual style.

Just when Duke Jackson was having a headache for the selection of the new governor, a man dressed in ordinary clothes walked in, and Jackson's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he immediately closed the door with his back and right.

"Lord Duke, everything is going well on our side, although the party is still potentially underwater, it has already reached a certain scale, according to their current plan, once Her Majesty really announces the new heir to the throne, no matter who it is, they will take the opportunity to launch a great revolution."

Jackson nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it's good, it's time to raise soldiers for a thousand days, and I spent so much effort on those people, and it should be time to pay off." ”

"It's just that Lord Duke, I'm a little worried that those people in the party are not under our control, and once they launch a revolution, it may not be so easy for us to suppress them in the future, right?"

"What you're worried about is a problem, that's why I'm asking you to plant an eye among them, especially the party's top brass must have people we trust enough, and in addition, they must be closely monitored for several secret arsenals, and once we no longer need them in the future, we must be able to cut off their weapons supply as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for someone to do it, and if the party launches a revolution, the capital of the empire will definitely be unsafe, do you want to go to other places for the time being?"

Jackson shook his head: "No need for the time being, Her Majesty the Queen is not so quick to make a decision, and even if I want to leave now, the Queen will not let me leave easily, the primary target of the party is the queen, the royal family of the empire, and then we people, so they will not do anything to me for a while, besides, as long as I let go out a little bit, they may take the initiative to seek my support." ”

"Well, there is one more thing, you asked me to know about Duke Philip before, and I also sent someone to investigate, that Duke really doesn't have any valuable information on him, he has always lived on Falklin Island, and he rarely even goes out far away, and because of his personality, he doesn't have much contact with people on weekdays, and this time it is really incomprehensible that Her Majesty was suddenly recalled to the capital and crowned the Duke title."

"In that case, then we don't need to know about his previous affairs, but we must grasp the dynamics after this in time, and it is best to be able to secure our people to his side."

"Well, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, since the Duke Philip came to the capital, he has been arranged to live in the palace, the palace is Duke Thomas's people, and inside is Her Majesty's personal guard, so it is not easy for our people to arrange it. Duke Thomas, in particular, has been keeping an eye on us. ”

"That old thing!" Jackson snorted disdainfully and asked, "What's going on on on his side lately?" Do his people know about the party? ”

"Duke Thomas should not be in a good mood lately, there are often servants who are crippled for offending him and transported out of the castle, as for the affairs of the party, he should have heard more or less, but it may be similar to the views of other high-ranking people in the empire, those people are petty fights will not become the climate after all, and the only ones who can make them really nervous are Suel's republican revolutionaries."

"That's the best, how can these fools understand that there can be other forms of revolution in this world besides the republican revolution. You have done a good job, keep working hard, and when things come to pass, what I promised you will definitely be fulfilled. ”

"Thank you, Lord Duke!"

After his men left, Jackson picked up Sandro again's secret report, which in addition to the assassination of James, also about the progress of the production of weapons in the island's arsenal, although it was a bit bumpy, but so far, the overall progress momentum is good, and the world is about to change.
