Chapter 516: The Death of Emperor Wilhelm (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)

Hear Charlie. The news of the Yilu report, Emperor Wilhelm was blinded at once!

The Ming carrier-based aircraft actually flew to London to drop bombs! This shows that the Royal Navy has abandoned its political neutrality and completely leaned towards Queen Victoria...... As soon as Kaiser Wilhelm obtained a longwave radio from a Rothschild bank, he tried to contact the Marquess of Nelson, who was far away in India, and asked him to try to stabilize the Royal Navy, keep them neutral, and avoid outside interference in the English Civil War.

However, the influence of the Marquess of Nelson was not enough to prevent the Royal Navy from falling to Queen Victoria, which would be tantamount to undermining the principle of neutrality that they had adhered to for 1200 years, and would have since become an instrument of domestic political struggle in Britain.

But what prompted the Royal Navy to abandon its neutrality in favor of Victoria, the heir to the throne hijacked by careerists and rebels, while the rightful king still occupied London?

Could it be that the main fleet of the Ming Navy has now sailed into the English Channel?

It can't be, right?

What surprised Kaiser Wilhelm even more was that the Prussian army had already captured the Kingdom of Hanover..... That's too fast, right?

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

And this incident was no less than the blow to Kaiser Wilhelm as the Royal Navy fell to Victoria! Because now loyal to Kaiser Wilhelm's armament, in addition to the Gurkha mercenaries and some local militias in England loyal to the emperor, there were no less than 20,000 German troops. And these backbones of the German army came from the Hanover Army.

Once Hanover was occupied by Prussia, it was likely that the British German Infantry Regiment would not be interested in fighting.

Also, How did Hanover collapse so quickly? Ernst. August should have left 30,000 troops in Hanover...... The elite professional army of Nakodu, against the Prussian mobilizers, it is not a problem to fight three of them!

How did Hanover collapse? What the hell is going on? How many troops did the Prussians send to attack?

Kaiser Wilhelm thought about these unsolvable questions, and was already sweating profusely, and then slowly getting colder. He scrambled to his feet and rushed out of his bedroom barefoot. Righteous law followed him closely.

He had other bad news to tell the emperor - the headquarters of St. James's Palace was losing contact with the local (loyal to the emperor...... From last evening until now, 60% of the local command has lost contact. There are also at least 10 army units loyal to the emperor who have also made a lot of contacts, I don't know if they were wiped out by the enemy or defected?

There are still a few batteries in the lower Thames that cannot be contacted...... Those batteries were a key point in preventing the ships supporting Victoria from entering the city of London down the River Thames!

In addition, Guildford, southwest of London, leading to Portsmouth, was originally under the control of a small group of German local militia (loyal to the emperor), and also lost contact this morning!

And in the direction of Windsor Castle, it seems that a large group of people is gathering!

There are all signs that the rebel group led by the Duke of Wellington who has kidnapped Victoria has received strong support from outside powers and is about to launch an attack on London.

Kaiser Wilhelm stormed his temporary headquarters in the bunker of St. James's Palace barefoot. Inside, a group of German-speaking officers were chattering there. Phones were ringing everywhere. Listen to the sound of shells exploding and exploding, becoming more and more dense. Seeing Kaiser Wilhelm coming, most of these officers from the Kingdom of Hanover gathered around as if they had seen a savior. The gossip asked His Majesty the Emperor to make up his mind quickly...... But don't say what kind of determination you want the emperor to make?

But Kaiser Wilhelm could have guessed what these people meantβ€”what else could he decide now? London's Industrial District is not something that can be won by determination! If you can't defeat the industrial area of London, when the Duke of Wellington's army arrives, Kaiser Wilhelm will be blinded...... There was the London Commune inside, and there were army traitors outside, and the emperor couldn't win even if he had three heads and six arms.

So now there is no other way but to run!

Thinking of this, Kaiser Wilhelm stood there barefoot and issued a loud order: "Inform the British King's German Infantry Regiment and the subordinate units of the Royal Gurkha Guard to return to the camp around St. James's Palace as soon as possible!" The troops who remained behind the defensive line around St. James's Palace immediately began to prepare dry rations, vehicles and ammunition...... The staff of the command immediately began to plan the route of the breakout...... The goal is Dover! ”

As soon as his series of orders came out, the staff officers present were stunned.

The "determination" they urged the emperor to make was actually to surrender to Queen Victoria or to hold on to London in order to obtain better terms. Instead of breaking out and fleeing to Dover.

Because Britain is an island nation, and the Royal Navy has fallen to the enemy. Without the release of the Royal Navy, Kaiser Wilhelm would not have been able to escape from Dover to France.

Of course, the possibility of the Royal Navy releasing water is not small. After all, Queen Victoria didn't really want to get rid of her uncle, and she most likely ordered the navy to let William go to France.

But she would never have let go of the Gurkha mercenaries and the more than 20,000 men of the British King's German Infantry Regiment!

I can't put it either!

Napoleon II could not have sent enough to send more than 20,000 French ships to Dover, and it would be nice to be able to transport one or two thousand.

In addition, there are still people in all parts of Britain who support the emperor and regard the emperor as the legitimate monarch of the United Kingdom. But if he abandons London and flees, then he will no longer be the monarch of England......

......

West of London, Windsor Castle.

When Kaiser Wilhelm was mobilizing his men and horses to break out of London. Beyond the walls of Windsor Castle, the vast field was full of British Army officers and soldiers with loaded guns.

After the Royal Navy made its position clear and the Atlantic Fleet of the Ming Navy put on the famous scene of "ship parade", some of the army and localities that were still watching all turned to Queen Victoria.

Several industrial cities in the middle of England, once under the leadership of the London Commune, also defected after receiving Victoria's pardon and promise of land allotment.

Now the whole of the United Kingdom, only the capital London and its environs, are not under the rule of Queen Victoria.

Representatives of the London Commune had already been contacted by representatives of Windsor Castle – the leaders of the London Commune, in addition to asking for a pardon, hoped that Queen Victoria would give concrete advice on the promise of allocating land...... They hope to set up organizations such as the Laughing Agricultural Mutual Aid Society to help farmers who own small plots of land.

In addition, they demanded that the Queen's government could protect the interests of British workers by allowing them to have more benefits and higher wages.

Victoria did not agree to their demands, because both the Duke of Wellington and Ju Xi U thought that it was better to regain London with a campaign than to negotiate peace!

For only then will the future Government of the United Kingdom have enough prestige to rule.

Moreover, the British Army, which supports the Queen's government, has also been assembled.

More than 60,000 regular troops have been assembled around Windsor Castle.

With the Queen's order, they will be able to reclaim London.

In this case, Queen Victoria, of course, could not accede to the request of the London Commune...... Even if the Queen's Government would adopt the same policy after the war was over.

But now is definitely not the time to compromise!

"Dear Alexandra," Ju Xiyou's voice rang in Victoria's ears, "please give the order to send troops...... But don't order the troops loyal to you, and don't hurt your uncle William. ”

Victoria was stunned for a moment, "Why?" ”

Zhu Xiyou said solemnly: "Because in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was once an emperor who gave such an order...... He didn't want to hurt his uncle, who was his enemy, and in the end he lost everything.

So, leave William's fate to God the Father! ”

Victoria nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you!" ”
