London, United Kingdom.

Queen Victoria is taking her children to the Royal Gardens at Buckingham Palace, holding in her arms Princess Louise, who was born in March, her sixth child in her eight years of marriage.

Queen Victoria smiled comfortably at the little princess in her arms, humming a nursery rhyme she had heard when she was a child.

"Our mother river is the Rhine, which is the longest, then the Weser, the Elbe, the Danube and the Main

The Weser, the Elbe, the Rhine, where do they go? Their only destination is the North Sea."

It is almost the original version of the children's song "The Best of German Rivers".

Queen Victoria completely oblivious to the expressions of the nearby maids and maids, she was simply immersed in her own world and that of her children.

Although the Queen's maids and maids are British, it is normal for them to know a few foreign languages as a close minister serving the royal family.

The meaning of the lyrics is nothing more than a few simple nouns and tonal repetitions, but they have a lot of meaning to the ears of the British, especially when the Queen of England speaks them

Regardless of the complicated thoughts of some people, Buckingham Palace at this time is sunny, green grass, gentle breeze, and a little fragrance of flowers.

From time to time, the laughter of children and the soft reminders of the maids in the garden make people relax and want to take a break to enjoy the peace and harmony.

with the Irish who do their best for a bite to eat, even across the oceans; The textile workers who still have to work in the factories under the burning sensation of the steam engine in a confined environment in the summer heat, the orphans who have broken their hands, feet, and disfigurement at a young age, and can only beg on the roadside; With the women workers who can't live without selling their bodies

This is in stark contrast to the people of the British Empire who live at the bottom, but few people care, and almost everyone takes it for granted.

But that doesn't include Prince Albert, who, unlike the Queen, who is already lying flat and rotten, still harbors the dreams of his youth.

"Reflect on the shortcomings of our time, and call on all of us to start with ourselves to correct these shortcomings, and in doing so, to set a good example for others."

Prince Albert studied history and philosophy, and wrote in his book On the Germanic Mode of Thinking and a Brief History of Germanic Civilization.

As a royal carriage slowly drove into the royal gardens, a familiar figure stepped out.

The children flocked to him for a moment, because the father always brought back some new knick-knacks.

Prince Albert picked up his eldest son, Edward, and asked affectionately, "How are you reading?" ”

Edward, who was still very excited, immediately jumped off his father's arm and fled, and several other children were also nervously watching and ready to slip away.

Fortunately, Prince Albert was only strict with his eldest son, so he smiled and asked his attendants to distribute the gifts to the children, and walked alone to his wife, whom he had not seen for a long time.

The two of them spoke affectionately, hugged, and kissed like a newlywed Yan'er, which couldn't help but make the surrounding maids envious.

Victoria handed the little princess in her arms to Prince Albert, who looked at the little one in her arms with a loving smile on her face.

The little princess also stared curiously at her father's face, as if she felt the warm love, and a sweet smile bloomed on her face.

Victoria covered her mouth, tears glistening in her eyes, and Prince Albert approached the queen and held her and the child tightly in his arms, and the attendants around him were touched by the warm scene.

However, the happy time did not last long, Prince Albert's face became serious, and Victoria, as a wife, knew that her husband had something to talk about.

"Miss Linda, please take the children back first."

The queen's maid on the side immediately woke up from the sudden moment just now, and then carefully took the little princess and the other maids and sent the princess and prince into the carriage.

After the servants and children had left, Prince Albert was the first to speak.

"Victoria, England is in the midst of a crisis, and your most trusted teacher, Mr. John Russell, has screwed everything.

Tens of thousands of soldiers are missing, or have perished, and the total value of the lost fleet has exceeded 10 million pounds. In addition to the fleet, what is even more terrible is our loss in business.

Now our trade with the Mediterranean business district is facing the risk of total default, in addition to the fact that a large number of our merchant ships have also been intercepted by the enemy, and all the losses together are enough to detonate another financial tsunami.

Three-quarters of the UK's insurance companies will go bankrupt, along with a large number of banks, including the Bank of England. ”

The Bank of England would go bankrupt, something Victoria had never thought about, she only thought it was alarmist.

Albert certainly sensed from his wife's expression that the other party did not believe it at all, and he did not believe it at first, but the number of merchant ships intercepted in the Mediterranean, and the huge amount of compensation required, made him believe it.
