Port of London, United Kingdom.

Looking at the crowd that would disperse as if the waves had receded, Robert Peel let out a sigh of relief.

Although there were some "hiccupes", the queen finally boarded the ship smoothly.

It seems that he is one step closer to his ideal great harmony between England and France.

In fact, the French side is also tense, and the situation of workers' strikes is also difficult to control.

In particular, barricades and police confrontations have once again been erected in the Lyon region, and the repression of the Bonapartist faction is clearly extremely ineffective.

Of course, it is inevitable that it will not be suppressed, after all, the local gendarmerie weapons are not as good as the workers of the uprising. Coupled with the constraints of the other two factions, it was even more difficult for the Bonapartists.

But when the Queen of England is about to visit Paris, it is now the royal party and the Orleans party who are anxious, because they do not want France to miss this opportunity.

The Bonapartists, on the contrary, did not care, because they hated England.

Although Britain was trying to repair relations with France, its support for the rebels was never cut off, and with the help of Austria, the rebels were effectively strong at this time.

If the higher-ups hadn't sold their weapons privately, they might have taken over the city by now.

Of course, Franz can't be too harsh on the leaders of the rebels, after all, they just want to have enough to eat and live a good life, and if they can't work hard, no one wants to do this kind of headless thing.

As for the so-called responsibility and consciousness, the vast majority of people did not have such a thing at that time.

In fact, at this time, someone had already published a relevant article in the Rheinische Zeitung, but the newspaper office had already been seized by the Prussian authorities.

In addition to the uprising in the Lyon region, the unrest in the Paris region also troubled Louis Philippe and his French government.

All this stemmed from that unscrupulous purchase, and British goods had by this time become the object of hatred of the French.

Louis Philippe's self-righteous move has pushed the French royal family to the forefront again, although crisis public relations has been done, but this does not mean that everything has been calmed down.

If, during the visit of the Queen of England, the citizens of Paris riot, the consequences are devastating.

So Louis Philippe strengthened the defense of Paris and enacted a lot of temporary laws, in fact, he also felt that the détente between Britain and France would give France a respite.

At this time, France was ostensibly glamorous, having recently acquired Wallonia, Belgium's richest territory, and even marched into Oceania to take Tahiti.

But in fact, there is a lack of funds everywhere, and as a result, the ground is laid down without even "sown food".

As mentioned earlier, many colonies are not very valuable for direct plunder, but require a lot of upfront investment to reap the benefits.

The problem facing the French colonies at this time was that they did not have the money to invest, or even to maintain stability. Algeria and Morocco in North Africa, Guatemala and El Saldovia in Central America (under de facto control of La Mosan), and other African and Asian colonies were not stable.

Among them, Algeria and Morocco are the strongest, and the number of rebels can reach hundreds of thousands. Secondly, although La Mosan in Central America has only more than 20,000 troops, the terrain is dominated by mountainous rainforests, which is the most difficult to exterminate.

As for the rest of Africa and Asia, the revolts were mostly in the form of tribes or families, and in fact posed little threat to the French. However, France's power in these areas is also weaker, and it is also unable to bring benefits to the country.

At this time, the most worrying thing for the French was Texas, which was brought in from the Mexicans, which could not only provide a large amount of taxes, but even some military resources.

But the situation in the colonies was nothing compared to the predicament at home in France.

Therefore, Louis Philippe also wanted to express his goodwill to the British, hoping that the two sides would temporarily abandon the confrontation, especially the confrontation in the Viceroyalty of La Plata.

At first, it seemed to be for the sake of French dignity and face, but now it seems extremely stupid, neither side has reaped the benefits, but has to maintain the military expenses of an expeditionary force for a long time.

As for their role, they are useless.

In addition, Spain's regent Christiana also plans to come to Paris, and this time the meeting between the three kings was advertised by the French press as a diplomatic event.

But in fact, Louis Philippe didn't want this Christian to be involved, mainly because this woman's character was too bad.

He was afraid that she would do something that would disgrace the French royal family, such as borrowing money.

That's right, it's the kind that you borrow and don't pay back.

The reason why Spain has such a chaotic situation today has a lot to do with the extravagance and extravagance of Queen Regent Christiana.

This woman openly sold the official mantle, which was nothing, but she actually named her male favorite as a magistrate, which eventually caused public resentment to boil and rebellions broke out.

In the end, Louis Philippe had to send troops to help her put down the rebellion.

Although the so-called regent had been set up by this time, Louis Philippe really had no reasonable reason to refuse her to attend the event in Paris.

In the port of London, the royal cruise ship "Victoria and Albert" slowly sailed away from the harbor with a long whistle.

On the sea, the accompanying officials began to introduce the cruise ship to the queen.

The Victoria and Albert uses the latest twin paddle wheel design and uses a state-of-the-art condensing steam engine with a thermal efficiency of 8 per cent, compared to the usual steam engine of 3 per cent

The officers in the entourage talked endlessly, but Victoria looked at the captain of the ship.

The officer looked a little embarrassed, but said anyway.

"This is Captain Adolf."

That's when Victoria spoke.

"Adolf Fitzclarenz, I know you, you are my uncle's child."

The middle-aged captain politely took off his hat and saluted Victoria.

"By mistaken love, my Majesty."

"Why are you here?" Victoria asked.

"This is my job, I am a member of the British Empire Navy and your subjects." Captain Fitzclarenc replied.

Victoria fell silent, but Captain Fitzclarenc spoke.

"Someone gave me fifty thousand pounds in the hope that I would blow up the ship."

As soon as these words came out, the people around them immediately became vigilant. Prince Albert pulled Victoria behind him, but it didn't really make any sense to do so.

If there were bombs on the ship, the chances of them surviving were extremely low, because it was a vast sea, and even if they weren't killed by bombs, they wouldn't be able to swim back from the coast.

And he didn't have a reason to hate Victoria, knowing that Adolf Fitzclarentz was the illegitimate son of the former king of England, William IV, and although he was favored by the previous king, he could not inherit the British throne.

Maybe this man will hold a grudge, and if he really plans to blow up the ship, the consequences will be unimaginable.

That's when Victoria spoke.

"So what are you going to do next?"
