As soon as I heard about the Duke of Cumberland, Ernst. August came, just now they were talking about how to loot, oh, it was the English magnates who helped India Ah San were all silent, and they all looked at the commander of the Australian Legion, Field Marshal Duke Wellington - there are several infantry regiments, cavalry regiments, and artillery regiments under the Australian Legion stationed outside Windsor Castle, although they are all newly formed regiments and do not have much combat effectiveness, but they should not let the German army led by the Duke of Cumberland quietly touch Windsor Castle, right?

What now? In the "case law" of the British law system on rebellion, only a successful rebellion is legal! Failure of rebellion is illegal...... It's going to kill your head!

The Duke of Wellington's face is not very good-looking, he is the mastermind of this "princess's legal rebellion"!

According to the "case law" of the British law system, Princess Victoria must succeed in rebellion, be crowned king, and have the power to kill and kill...... It's still legal! If the rebellion fails, it will not be legal! Not only is it not legal, but it will also lose your head! Victoria's doll pulled out and killed is indeed unsightly, maybe it can be mixed up and died of illness. But the Duke of Wellington will not end well, either shot or hanged!

The thought of being hanged made it a little difficult for the Duke to breathe!

Seeing that the Duke of Wellington's face was pale and cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead, the rebellious ministers and thieves in the throne hall of Windsor Castle were also a little panicked, and they all shrank back involuntarily......

Princess Victoria, on the other hand, looked calm and relaxed, and asked with a smile, "Where is Uncle Ernst?" Invite him in! ”

Seeing Victoria's bearing, the Duke of Wellington couldn't help but admire it in his heart, he deserves to be the first presumptive heir to the British throne! It's just to be calm...... This rebellion was still relatively secretive, and there was no solid evidence - such as documents, covenants, and affidavites. Oh, and there is a copy of the Mingying Portage Treaty! It has to be put away and destroyed!

He had just wanted to take back all the copies of the treaty that Viscount Palmerston had just sent to him that was about to lose his head. August had already come in through the door with a stick of civility. As he walked, he shouted: "Alexandra (Victoria's Christian name), William asked me to tell you that he is going to give you the throne of the United Kingdom after you marry King Daminglu, and hand over the throne of Hanover to me, and he will be the emperor of India himself...... Hahaha, what do you think? ”

This time Ernst. August had already figured out that something was wrong, the hall was full of people! He squinted one eye and looked left and right, "Hey, why are there so many people?" Are you all there? Why are you stunned? Duke Wellington, you're there too...... By the way, what are you discussing? Can you tell me about it? ”

The Duke of Wellington had already understood when he heard him say this. It turned out that this Ernst. August did not come to catch the thief, but to give the good news to Princess Victoria...... What a joy!

"Duke Cumberland," said the Duke of Wellington, who did not bother to destroy the evidence, but said to the Duke of Cumberland with a smile, "Congratulations...... I am glad that the Kingdom of Hanover has a king like you. But we are still in a state of war with the Ming Dynasty, could it be that we have reached a peace treaty with the Ming Dynasty? The marriage contract between Her Royal Highness the Princess and King Daminglu has also been negotiated? ”

As the Duke of Wellington spoke, he gave his niece-in-law and confidant Somerset, who immediately understood and quietly withdrew......

"Yes," Ernst. August said, "His Majesty's secret envoy to the Emperor, Charles. Sir Yilu is currently in secret negotiations in Naples with the envoys of the Ming Empire, Zhuge Weijiu and Lin Zexu, and is being mediated by the crown prince of the Dajin Empire.

According to the telegram just received, a preliminary agreement has been reached...... The other party has verbally agreed not to further seek the territory of the Indian Empire, and has also agreed that His Majesty the Emperor will continue to be the Emperor of the Indian Empire! The condition was to cede all the British islands in mainland Australia and the Pacific Ocean; the island of Ceylon in the Indian Ocean; the Malay Peninsula and its affiliated islands; transfer of the United Kingdom's interest in the Oregon Territory; Agree to marry Princess Victoria to King Daminglu and so on......"

"These are all conditions for losing power and humiliating the country!" Ernst. Before August could finish speaking, the Duke of Wellington had already put on a straight face and was angry, "And...... Also an attempt to split the British Empire! India is an indivisible whole of the British Empire! If India is lost, the British Empire will cease to exist! How could His Majesty the Emperor agree to such peace conditions? ”

He took the lead, and the people who were panicked about the failure of the rebellion just now came back to their senses.

It turns out that the Duke of Cumberland didn't come to arrest them, and he shouldn't have brought troops here, so don't panic now, so hurry up and coax!

】

"That's right, India is an integral part of the British Empire!"

"Without India, there would be no British Empire!"

"The British Empire must not cede India!"

"This is the loss of power and humiliation of the country, no, it is a condition for the loss of power and the country, we can't agree!"

"Yes, we can't say yes!"

Ernst. Auguste actually knew that the British aristocracy and capitalists were unlikely to give up India, but he never expected the reaction of this group to be so big and so fast...... As soon as he heard that Kaiser Wilhelm was going to separate the Indian Empire from the territory of the British Empire, he jumped up and was ready to make a revolution! Those who don't know think that they are plotting a rebellion at Windsor Castle!

As soon as he thought of this, his heart trembled—these people are now gathered around Princess Victoria, and no matter how you look at it, they want to use the princess to make trouble!

And in British history, isn't the so-called Glorious Revolution a rebellion of the princess making the king?

Could it be that Princess Victoria is also ......

Thinking of this, he turned his only remaining short-sighted eye to Princess Victoria, who was sitting on the throne, and asked, "Alexandra, what do you think?" ”

Princess Victoria actually doesn't care much about India, all she cares about is the handsome little guy King Lu...... But the people below seem to love India very much, so she must also love India, and she can't let India leave the warm family of the British Empire.

Thinking of this, she said solemnly in the same tone that the teachers had trained her every day: "The United Kingdom and the Indian Empire are two countries in name, but in fact they are one, and India is to the United Kingdom what Scotland and Ireland are to England. England could not do without Scotland and Ireland, otherwise Britain would no longer be a whole, nor would it be an island power that could influence the situation on the European continent. And if the United Kingdom does not have India, then the British Empire will cease to exist, Britain will cease to be a world empire, and England will lose her market and financial resources...... Without the wealth of India, Britain would be unsustainable, the United Kingdom would fall apart, and the people of the islands would be forever impoverished and deprived, and as the future Queen of the United Kingdom, the future mother of more than 20 million British people, I cannot sit idly by and watch my country and people fall into such misery......"

Of course, her words were not configured out by herself, but written by the people around her for her to memorize, so that she could say them on the occasions she needed. But after saying these truths that India cannot be lost, she did not know what to do, so she looked at the Duke of Wellington.

The Duke of Wellington said in a calm tone: "Let's go and petition the Emperor together!" ”

So saying, he looked at Ernst. August, "Duke Cumberland, let's go and petition the Emperor together!" ”

Petition together? Ernst. Augusta said to himself, "I'm afraid we are going to rebel together, right?" But...... William's desire to turn India into his empire is indeed a bit excessive, and the British Empire really cannot live without India! ”
