"Of course it's legal!" The Viscount of Melbourne assured Princess Victoria that "your seizure of the British throne by violent means, with the support of Parliament and the Army, with the tacit consent of the Royal Navy, and with the support of the people of England, is in accordance with the legislative spirit of the Glorious Revolution and has a precedent to follow." In 1688, Queen Mary II and her husband, King William III, overthrew Queen Mary II's father, King James II, by the same means. ”

The Duke of Wellington added: "Your Royal Highness, the United Kingdom is now facing more difficult problems than it was in 1688! It was nothing more than a religious conflict, a problem between Protestants and Catholics. And now is the question of whether the United Kingdom can exist? Will the revolutionary tide in Europe sweep Britain? Is it the bloody Revolution that will happen in London? If you can't step up, then when Kaiser Wilhelm and the Ming come to a peace agreement, the end of the United Kingdom will come! So the Army, which has always been loyal to the country, sincerely hopes that you can be crowned Queen of the United Kingdom at Windsor Castle! ”

The Viscount of Melbourne also said: "The Tories, the Whigs, and the Archbishop of Canterbury will all support Her Royal Highness!" So you will become queen with the support of the British Parliament, the Church and the Army! This is fully in line with the legislative and constitutional spirit of the United Kingdom! ”

Princess Victoria's bun face wrinkled, obviously a little overwhelmed. Although the Viscount of Melbourne was her trusted teacher, the Duke of Wellington was also widely regarded as a hero of the British Empire.

But the usurpation of the throne. It seems a little dangerous!

Just when Princess Victoria couldn't make up her mind, her mother, the Duchess of Kensington, suddenly interjected and asked, "When can we go to Windsor Castle?" ”

The Duke of Wellington and the Viscount of Melbourne did not answer immediately, but looked at Princess Victoria.

Victoria seemed to have made up her mind and put her head down.

The Duke of Wellington then said, "Duchess, you and Her Royal Highness the Princess can go to Windsor Castle at any time. The Royal Guard stationed at Windsor Castle will pledge their allegiance to you! ”

Guarded at Windsor Castle were the Old Royal Guards, the Serious White Guards, not the Gurkha mercenaries. They're royal guards! Now it was replaced by a group of Ah San mercenaries from India, and they were thrown to the countryside of Windsor Castle, so it's no wonder that they can be satisfied. And during the days when Emperor Wilhelm stayed in the Indian "Hapi", they always defended the regent Princess Victoria. Now, of course, it's time to side with Princess Victoria.

"When we get to Windsor Castle, isn't it?" The Duchess of Kensington asked again.

"No, no, not so fast," the Duke of Wellington shook his head, "there are still some questions that need to be discussed with the other party first. It is also necessary to sign the relevant secret agreement. ”

The Viscount of Melbourne then said to Princess Victoria: "Your Royal Highness, I hope you can write a personal letter to His Royal Highness King Lu of Naples asking if he would like to become Emperor of India in the future?" ”

"He became the Emperor of India?"

The Duke of Wellington nodded: "Yes, since India is a very macho country, it is difficult for their nobles and people to accept an empress, so it is a very ideal arrangement for His Royal Highness King Lu to be the emperor and you to be the empress!" ”

Victoria's cheeks flushed, a puffy bun with a shy expression on her face, and she said in an inaudible voice, "Duke, I haven't had it yet."

The Viscount of Melbourne smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness, for the sake of the United Kingdom, for the people of England, write a letter to the King of Daminglu, this is the most dignified way to end the war, and for Britain, it is also the least loss." ”

Victoria nodded shallowly and inquired in a low voice: "He, he agreed?" ”

The Duke of Wellington shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "He will definitely agree. Who would refuse the crown of India and a beautiful queen like you? And you should make it clear to him in your letter that you want to rule India with him, whether you become queen of the United Kingdom or not! ”

"What?" Victoria was stunned, "Is it possible that I won't be able to become the Queen of the United Kingdom?" ”

The Duke of Wellington nodded: "It's completely possible!" The United Kingdom, unlike France, is not an absolute sovereign state, but a union of three countries, and the interests of India are the glue of the three countries. If this glue is lost, the collapse of the state is nothing more than a matter of time. When the time comes, not only will there be no more power to prevent the European continent from moving towards unification, but there will also be no one to prevent the merger of the United States and Canada. Maybe in another ten or eight years, the European continent will be dominated by Napoleon II or Nicholas I. And the United States will also become a superpower with a territory of more than 10 million square kilometers and a population of 3,000 to 40 million! ”

"Is this really possible?" Princess Victoria looked at the Duke of Wellington in surprise, and with the political wisdom she currently possessed, she could not yet understand what the Duke of Wellington meant by these words.

In fact, the Duke of Wellington used a "bad strategy", that is, he calculated that the Ming Dynasty would not weaken Britain too much out of consideration for containing the United States and splitting Europe. Therefore, he and the elite who ruled Britain simply used "Britain is finished" to blackmail the Ming Dynasty in order to maximize India's interests.

Palazzo Portici, Naples.

Located next to the famous Mount Vesuvius and facing the coast of Naples, this luxurious residence is one of the four luxurious palaces owned by the Bourbons of Naples. Antonel's residence.

At the same time, it is also a bridge of peace between the two imperialist countries, Great Britain and Great Ming!

Although the world war is in full swing, the dawn of peace always shines in the Portage Palace. And with the decisive victory of the Ming Dynasty in the Pacific-Australia theater, the light of peace in Portage Palace became even more dazzling.

On the same day that the Duke of Wellington and the Viscount of Melbourne visited Kensington Palace, Emperor William's confidant Charlie Brown. Yilu and the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty who was "investigating" in Europe, the "first presumed Xianfeng Emperor" Aixin Jueluo. Yiwei was a guest at the Portage Palace.

And Zhuge Weijiu received three visitors together with Zhuge Weixue, the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Zhu Xiyou, the king of Lu of the Ming Dynasty, and Lin Zexu, the Ming Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who had just visited Europe.

Obviously, this is a fairly high-profile negotiation!

"His Royal Highness King Lu, His Royal Highness King Wu, Marquis Wuxiang is almost done! Emperor Wilhelm said that if you really refuse to let go of the Indian Empire, then after he defeated India, he could only marry Victoria to Napoleon II. When the time comes, the British and French monarchs will merge, and the crowns of the two continents will belong to the Bonaparte dynasty, and Napoleon II, who combines the power of Britain and France Hanover, will be powerful, not only the German heroes can't resist, but even the Rakshasa country is not necessarily an enemy. However, even if the Rakshasa can defeat Napoleon II, it will not necessarily benefit you Ming. Because after the victory of the rakshasa, Europe will be set on the statue of Nicholas I!

And a unified Europe can have a population of 200 million, the industrial strength is more than 50% of the Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of resources are also extremely rich, and there is a United States on the other side of the Atlantic, which is also a branch of Europe! If the United States and Rakshasa have another big alliance, can Daming deal with it?

In my opinion, if you have to be forgiving and forgiving, let Emperor Wilhelm continue to be the emperor of India, and let His Royal Highness Victoria and King Lu be the double kings of England together. Isn't this the world too peaceful? ”
