London is destined to never sleep tonight.

At midnight, many homes are still brightly lit, and the crying of babies and the quarrels of couples are constantly heard in the house, all because of the latest issue of The Times.

The newspaper published the full content of Mavi's speech in Archbishop's Park, and when he saw Mavi's remarks in support of women's rights, many men let out disdainful laughter and sarcasm.

They saw the indifferent gaze of his wife.

Putting aside the matter of giving women more jobs, Ma Wei's focus on voting rights and property inheritance rights are closely related to life, and most people don't care whether their wives have the right to vote or not, but property inheritance rights are really important.

It is common for a family of three to have a child, if it is a girl, then the wife and daughter have no inheritance rights, and once something happens to the man, the property will be inherited by the man's brother or father, male relatives.

At that time, men's wives and daughters could only be reduced to each other's vassals, sent under the fence.

How good can they live?

When it comes to the issue of property, many men take it seriously, as husbands, they prefer to inherit property to their own children rather than brothers, who would want their wives and children to live a life that looks like people after death?

But if you agree with Ma Wei's remarks about improving women's rights, you must agree with giving more jobs to women, which makes many men unwilling.

Starting from the actual situation of the Kingdom of Windsor, the economy is really growing rapidly, and the jobs are far from saturated, even if some are given to women, it is harmless, but there are people who are unwilling to set this precedent.

"Nicholas must be stopped!"

At Clarence Palace, the eldest prince slammed the newspaper on the table and said angrily: "He must not be allowed to succeed!" If women are given the right to vote, his approval rating will instantly surpass that of Donal! ”

Who is proposing to empower women?

Nicholas von Manstein!

Who do women vote for when they get the right to vote?

This seems to go without saying.

Even the eldest prince had to admit that Ma Wei gave him a trick and caught him off guard!

"Your Highness, with all due respect, Nicholas is so ruthless, he has provoked the opposition between men and women, who has no women? Who has no mother and wife? Butler Nicks said with a solemn face: "Just like the original proposal to abolish slavery, when the times develop to a certain extent, it will naturally lead to many incredible situations. ”

"Do you agree with Nicholas?" The eldest prince was surprised, "Do you think he is right?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness, I think that Mr. Nicholas is not wrong at all, if you put aside your personal grievances and think from the standpoint of a bystander, you will find that it is only a matter of time before women's rights are raised."

The eldest prince was silent, he was really not calm, and when it came to the election, his mood swings were too serious.

Think about it

The Knicks were right, and Nicholas was right.

Once this layer of window paper is pierced, it can no longer be filled, and it must be faced head-on.

It would be unwise to go against Nicholas at this time.

"But if we agree with Nicholas's remarks and really improve women's rights, the ultimate beneficiary will be Nicholas, which is extremely detrimental to the election." The eldest prince groaned.

"Your Highness, Mr. Nicholas's remarks today, we can also quote, are not his own property, he was the first to bring it up." "We can get Congressman Donnell to strongly support women's empowerment and push for legislation so that the votes don't go all over to Mr. Nicholas," Nix said. ”

"You're saying a good thing." The eldest prince nodded slowly: "Inform Donal, let him hurry up and prepare the proposal and submit it to the parliament before Nicholas." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Also, send someone to ask Mr. Butler, why hasn't he done it for so many days? As long as Nicholas is dead, no one can threaten us! ”

"Understood."

"Interesting."

In the Shavali family villa, the candlelight flickered in the lampshade, and in the dim light, Freya looked at the newspaper report about the content of Mavi's speech, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

As the leader of a political party, she certainly knew what kind of turmoil this story would cause, and it was something that could turn the situation in London upside down!

Perhaps from now on, women will be able to enjoy the same rights as men

"I'm afraid there's no better chance than this."

With a roll of her eyes, Freya picked up the bell in the corner of the table and rang it.

Jingle bells.

Click.

The door opened, and a white-gloved butler walked in, and said in a respectful tone, "Madam, what do you command?" ”

"Inform Roslet, Pique, and Hymarno that they want to come here immediately, I have something important to do."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment: "Madam, it's so late, you call the leaders of the political party to meet."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Freya smiled: "Once women get the same political status as men, it proves that they have value, and in order to obtain rights and interests, there will definitely be outstanding people who will stand up and urge legislation, and what I want to do is to gather the best of these women, set up a women's union, and seize the opportunity!" ”

"Understood, I'll do it."

Following.

Several proposals were sent to the Diet early in the morning, and the content was basically the same, all of them were bills on the promotion of women's rights, and the people who sent these proposals were all behind the figure of the eldest prince or the second prince.

In less than a day, the issue of women's rights caused an uproar in London, many people had no intention of working, and many women gathered together to talk about their grievances with their husbands, as if it had become a crusade, and all the previous grievances were vented at this moment.

In the afternoon, the Times once again published Mavey's new rhetoric about whether women receive the same education as men.

This report once again intensified the contradictions, but this time, Ma Wei's target was not ordinary civilians, but aristocrats watching from the sidelines!

Women who are qualified to go to school are all lucky people from wealthy families, they have no shortage of food and drink from the moment they are born, and only daughters are worshiped as pearls in the palm of their hands, but no matter how hard they try, they cannot get the same opportunity to go to school as men, so they can only enter the school as 'auditors' or go to the so-called 'boarding school'.

This is an unfair system, but no one dares to mention it, and now Ma Wei is proposing it in public, undoubtedly challenging the rules of the Windsor Kingdom since ancient times, according to common sense, pioneers like Ma Wei should be burned alive, but this time.

There were many more voices of support behind him.

Several female students organized a club and launched a march on campus, a brave act that caused a response from other public schools, and in just a few days, a feminist movement began with a vigorous demonstration, with female students holding signs on the streets of London despite their father's obstructions.

Demonstrations are not allowed, according to the law of the kingdom, large gatherings must be reported in advance, in order to maintain law and order, the government sent the Scotland Yard police, but the police arrived at the scene to find that most of the participants in the parade were the daughters of aristocratic families, and only those who had received elite education had the courage to challenge the 'rules'.

Just when the police hesitated to catch or not.

Freya appeared.

She rode in an expensive carriage and joined the parade as a duke, and the female students were so excited that they flocked to the palace and the parliament as if they had a backbone, and when they saw this scene, Rhodes IV and Prime Minister Winston and others sitting in the palace were silent.

"Your Majesty, I seem to have seen the figure of Duke Freya" Prime Minister Winston took a puff on his cigar: "What should I do?" Are you going to arrest her? ”

"What is she mixing with!" Rhodes IV coughed angrily, it was his order to send the police, but he didn't want to see Freya arrested.

Even if you don't care about the feelings, you have to look at the title of Duke Freya, the duke is already the highest-ranking nobleman in the Kingdom of Windsor except for the prince, and his influence is not trivial, representing the interests of the old nobles, if today the king ignores the title of nobility and orders the arrest of a duke.

What would the other nobles think?

Have their titles become ornaments?

After the Glorious Revolution, the power of the king of the Kingdom of Windsor has long since disappeared, and he still has appeal and influence, all of which depend on the support of these nobles.

Even Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who was sitting next to him, came from an old aristocratic family!

Unable to catch it, and unable to catch it, he couldn't drive it away, and Rhodes IV had a great headache and hurriedly convened the cabinet to discuss.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince and the second prince have both sent a proposal to improve women's rights, and the parliament has accepted it" Prime Minister Winston took a big breath of his cigar and said depressedly: "In this matter, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party are surprisingly unanimous, even the Duke Freya is the leader of the party, and the three of them are afraid that this proposal will be forcibly passed." ”

What lies in front of us is reality.

The Conservatives and Liberals have already won more than half of the seats in the House of Commons, and even though many nobles insist on following the old 'rules' on issues related to women's rights, they cannot resist the joint pressure of the eldest and second princes, coupled with the increasing number of demonstrations

There are more and more parliamentarians who agree with the proposal, and it is only a matter of time before the House of Commons passes, and as for the schoolgirls marching outside the House of Lords, all of whom are daughters of aristocratic families, many of whom are members of the House of Lords, what can they do?

Is it difficult to sever the father-daughter relationship?

The House of Commons compromised and passed the proposal, and only one last hurdle remained.

As long as the cabinet and the king sign the document, the proposal is officially adopted.

Although the documents are not yet in front of them, that day will not be too far away.

Rhodes IV didn't know what he was holding onto, maybe he just didn't want to be led by the nose, but the situation couldn't help him.

Even if the king does not sign, the cabinet can force the bill to pass, and if the cabinet does not agree, of course the bill cannot be passed, but the problem is .

The House of Commons, like the king, has the special power to re-elect the cabinet!

The arms can't be twisted into the thighs.

"What does the church say?" Rhodes IV pinned his last hope on the Church, hoping that Pope Ubrey I would intervene and settle the matter for him.

Speaking of the church, the corners of Prime Minister Winston's mouth twitched: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten a very important matter?"

"What's the matter?"

"The God of the Church. It's a goddess. ”

“.”

"The Church has no intention of intervening at all on the issue of women's rights, and not only that, but Pope Ubri I also celebrates a large Mass for a week, during which he will not see anyone." Winston took a sip of his cigar and exhaled a thick white smoke: "Your Majesty, don't count on the church, they're already hiding." ”

Would Pope Ubly I dare to insult women?

Why is a goddess called a goddess?

This is a very delicate question.

If Ubrey I supported Rhodes IV and did not agree to the promotion of women's rights, then he was not loyal enough to the goddess.

Even if the goddess didn't care, Ubre I didn't dare to take such an unnecessary risk.

What does it matter to him whether women's rights are raised or not?

He represents the church, not the nursery!

Because of the goddess, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny directly hid and resolutely did not make any remarks or express any attitude on this matter.

Go with the flow.

The last hope was dashed, and Rhodes IV stopped struggling: "Well, since the matter has come to this, let's speed up the passage of the bill and put an end to this farce quickly."

"Your Majesty, it seems that Duke Freya wants to form a women's union, do you think?"

"Let her go, the bills have passed, can you still stop her?"

"Yes"

With the acquiescence of the King and the Cabinet, the Women's Rights Act was passed in less than three days, and the attitude of the whole Parliament was unanimous, and when the news of the bill's passage broke, women celebrated their victory.

"The bill has passed."

At the flower street grocery store, Ma Wei finished reading the latest issue of the newspaper: "Women have the right to vote, the right to inherit property and the right to work, although the content of the bill is still a little sloppy and needs to be optimized, but it is not easy to do this step in such a short time." ”

"Big brother, it's a good thing for us that women have the right to vote!" Levin said excitedly: "It's this bill that you proposed, and the women of London will definitely give you the ticket!" ”

Ma Wei smiled: "As far as I know, Councillor Donnell has made the same remarks as me, and even expressed his willingness to fight for women's rights on my basis, and he has received a lot of support. ”

"It's still not as good as you, big brother." Levine shook his head and said, "Big brother, do you know that recently, there have been rumors about your new nickname in London?" ”

"A new nickname?" Ma Wei was stunned and said, "I really don't know, what nickname did they give me?" ”

"Friends of Women!"
