St. James's Palace, London.

For the first time, Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany sat on the throne of St. James's Palace, summoning his ministers and generals in the name of the King of the United Kingdom, and guarding him by guards from the Gurkha Rifle Battalion, which was under the direct command of the Emperor of India

When the British ministers and generals who walked into the throne hall saw the short, almost identical-looking Gurkha soldiers beside the emperor, they somehow thought of King Daminglu, who was now a guest at Windsor Castle, where Princess Victoria lived, as an ambassador to King Louis I of Algeria (black-haired Louis)!

Perhaps in a few years' time, the King of the Great Minru will sit in the throne hall of St. James's Palace with Queen Victoria as the Companion of the United Kingdom, and receive the audience of the Ministers and Parliamentarians of the United Kingdom.

Of course, such a thing would never have been acceptable to the British if it had been placed in another timeline during World War I and World War II. But now it is only 1832, and although the technology tree is almost growing to the First World War, the power to promote the "super-progress" of science and technology comes from the Ming Dynasty in the East, not Europe itself. Therefore, the social progress of Europe today lags behind science and technology, which is probably only equivalent to the level of the 50s of the 19th century.

During this time, on the European continent, as Napoleon II promoted the establishment of the Second French Republic, the Bonapartist elements of various countries began to merge with the republicans and began to promote the establishment of a republican nation-state.

First of all, the German states, Italy, and the non-German territories under the Habsburgs were all in chaos. Various proposals for a unified nation-state were proposed, some republican, others inclined to retain the monarchy, and the Habsburgs were the biggest of all!

And the Romanov family of the Rakshasa country is also in a hurry, for fear that the revolutionary storm will blow into the large and backward empire under their rule - the current Rakshasa even maintains the ancient serfdom! Moreover, the Romanovs also ruled over European countries such as Poland, Finland, Lithuania, Livonia, Estonia, etc., which were slightly more advanced than the Rakshasa itself. The peoples of those "advanced" countries look at Russians as much as they look at barbarians

As for the United Kingdom, although it is at the forefront of Europe in industrialization, the British national governance is actually relatively backward. Legally, Britain doesn't even exist! It is only a commonwealth of monarchies, only because the king of England, the king of Scotland, and the king of Ireland are held by the same monarch, and this monarch twists the parliaments of the three kingdoms together to facilitate governance, and creates a so-called United Kingdom.

In this United Kingdom, the Norman aristocracy and the English capitalists are really dominant, and after a series of revolutions and upheavals, these two groups have become a whole to maintain the stability and status quo of the United Kingdom, and this requires the existence of a king - if the king is gone, the United Kingdom will be legally dissolved.

Since the three kingdoms that make up the United Kingdom, England, Scotland, and Ireland (in fact, there is also a Duchy of Wales, but according to the Act of Union of 1536, Wales and England were legally united) did not consider the question of building a unified nation-state, but each formed three quasi-nation-states, so if England wanted to control Ireland and Scotland without a king, then the Irish and Scots would definitely see the English as colonizers.

And England if it allowed Ireland and Scotland to become independent. Could the powerful armies of France, Germany, or Rakshasa be stationed in Sovereign and independent Scotland? In this case, how can the UK's offshore balancing technique be carried out?

Therefore, the Norman aristocracy in England and the capitalists in England are now calculating and calculating, and they still have to accommodate the current William IV, the future Victoria, and the Zhu Ying dynasty that may appear after Victoria

A group of helpless British ministers and generals had no choice but to bow to Kaiser Wilhelm, who had already tasted power in India and was clearly ready to gain control of British power. Having just accepted the welcome of the people, and now seeing the deferential attitude of the people below, Kaiser Wilhelm was quite satisfied.

And when the emperor was satisfied, the ministers and generals below were not very satisfied, because William was used to governing the country as a real emperor!

"My Foreign Minister, when will our embassy in Beijing send the declaration of war to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Empire?" Emperor Wilhelm had already opened his mouth to ask in a majestic imperial tone: "Who else will declare war on the Ming Empire other than the United Kingdom and the Indian Empire?"

And in addition to the need to declare war on the Ming Dynasty, did the United Kingdom and the Indian Empire also declare war on Japan, Mexico, and all the vassal states of the Ming Empire? ”

After listening to the king's question, the ministers present frowned, and the king asked the foreign minister about the progress of the work, and it was clear that he was unifying and governing, and he was in power!

"Your Majesty, the declaration of war will be delivered as soon as possible. In addition to the United Kingdom and the Indian Empire, the United States will also follow Britain in declaring war on the Ming Empire."

Foreign Secretary Robert . Peel had no choice but to stand up and answer - according to the law, the king has the right to declare war, and he is also the commander-in-chief and owner of the armed forces of the United Kingdom! Of course, the Foreign Minister had to answer the king's orders and obey the king's will!

Robert. Peel continued: "In addition, I suggest that the Kingdom of Hanover, ruled by His Majesty, should also declare war on the Ming Dynasty!"

At the same time, we should also lobby the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain to declare war on Ming. Because not long ago, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to seize Sumatra under Dutch rule and South Luzon Islands under Spanish rule, and also shelled and blockaded Goa under Portuguese rule. ”

The King of England nodded: "The United Kingdom, India, the United States, Hanover, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, a total of seven countries, plus the Ottoman-Turkish Empire, let's make an eight-nation alliance!"

The Ming Empire's support for Egypt's Ali Pasha to create an Arab empire on the land of the Ottoman Empire has seriously violated the sovereignty of the Ottomans, and the Ottomans should have declared war on the Ming Dynasty. In exchange, we can also declare war on the Arab Empire! ”

In fact, Britain's declaration of war on the Arab Empire was a complete sham – Britain did not recognize the Arab Empire as a sovereign and independent state! The Arab Empire was just a rebel force within the Ottoman Empire, how could Britain officially declare war on the Arab Empire?

However, the current situation of the Ottoman Empire, if you can form an alliance with Britain to fight Ali, you can already wake up with a smile, and it is nothing to declare a Ming Dynasty. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty has always supported the Rakshasas, and the relationship with the Ottoman Empire has always been bad. If you really want the Ming Dynasty to win the war, the Ottoman Empire will be finished!

And the Rakshasa is now busy suppressing the rebellion in Poland and the Baltic region and Finland, coupled with the confrontation between the Rakshasa and the French Republic, he has no time to take care of the Ottomans, so the Ottomans are not afraid of the Ming Dynasty supporting the Rakshasa to fight themselves.

"Your Majesty is wise," said Robert. Peel would not argue with Emperor William, who ruled England, over a trivial matter, but he first sent a sycophant, and then said, "Your Majesty, according to the accepted principle of diplomacy, there is no diplomacy in a vassal country. Therefore, we do not have diplomatic relations with the vassal states under the Ming Dynasty, and we do not have to declare war separately, but we can mention it in the edict declaring war on the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Japan, Mexico, the Arab Empire, and the Kingdom of Oman are all independent countries at present. We should declare war on them! ”

Emperor Wilhelm nodded and said, "I understand, so even if the eight countries are against the five countries, then the next alliance summit to be held is the eight-nation summit!" He thought for a moment and asked, "Then shouldn't our eight countries set up a national organization to oppose the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor," said Robert. "Such an organization already exists, the North Atlantic Treaty Contracting Organization, which has been signed by the United States, the United Kingdom, India, the Kingdom of Hanover," Peel said. ”

Emperor Wilhelm nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, the eight NATO countries will deal with Daming together, and we will have a great chance of winning!" ”
