Li Junhao was supposed to leave for Shanghai on the 20th, but because of what he heard from Rist yesterday, he decided to explore the secret of the surname Stuart.

So he stayed for another day, and after returning to Washington, he went to the Library of Congress for half a day to inquire about the materials, and found out about the Stuart family.

It's a bit of a legend about the history of the UK.

In 1603, the Tudor dynasty in England ended due to the absence of a queen, and James VI, the ninth king of the Stuart dynasty who was born in 1566 and ascended the throne in 1567, succeeded to the throne as James I of England because of blood relationship, and Scotland and England entered the stage of co-monarchy.

In 1625, James I died and was succeeded by his son, Charles I, Prince of Wales (mother Princess Anne of Denmark), as the tenth Scottish king and the second king of England and Ireland under the Syats dynasty.

In 1640, the bourgeois revolution broke out in England, Charles I fought two civil wars with parliamentary forces, and was beheaded by parliament for treason after defeat in 1649.

In 1650, Charles II, the eldest son of Charles I in exile (his mother was Princess Henriatan Maria of Spain), was crowned King of Scotland, returned to England in 1660 and was successfully restored, and in April 1661 he was crowned King of England and Ireland. Its main achievement, in addition to the restoration of the Stuart dynasty, was the signing of the Law on the Protection of Human Rights in 1679.

In 1685, Charles II died and became childless, and his half-brother James II ascended the throne.

In 1688, the Glorious Revolution broke out in England, and James II was forced to abdicate and go into exile in France, under the protection of King Louis XIV (Sun King) of France; Britain entered the constitutional monarchy, and the British throne fell into the hands of James II's daughter Mary II and son-in-law William III (Dutch).

In 1694, Mary II died, leaving William III alone.

In 1701, the British Parliament established the royal "succession law" to determine the order of succession to the throne.

The Succession Act provided that if all the heirs provided for in the Bill of Rights of 1689 died without a successor, the throne would be inherited by Sophia, the Elector of Hanover, a granddaughter of the former King James I and a female descendant of the House of Stuart, and her Protestant descendants.

In 1702, William III died, and as he had no queen, Mary II's sister Anne ascended to the throne, Queen Anne.

In 1707, England and Scotland united to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

In 1714, Anne died, and the Stuart dynasty came to an end.

According to the "Succession Act of 1701", the royal parliament extended George Ludwig von Hanover, the son of the Elector of Hanover, who was ranked 52nd in the succession sequence of the throne at that time, that is, the king of Great Britain and the king of Ireland, for George I, thus creating the Hanoverian dynasty and the beginning of the Germanic blood of the British royal family (later, during World War I, George V abandoned the German surname in order to appease the people and changed the royal family name to "Windsor", which is still the case). ）

It is believed that the Stuart dynasty was terminated because of the severance of the bloodline, and the third king of the dynasty, Charles II, began without a successor.

From the history of the British royal family, it can be seen that from 1714 to the present, Britain is actually ruled by a German royal family, and the previous World War I and the now ongoing World War II, Britain and Germany are the main opponents, which cannot but be said to be a historical irony.

Li Junhao admits that this Stuart family is indeed prominent enough, but what does this have to do with him?

Yesterday, Rist had only said half of his sentence, saying that he should be surnamed Stuart, but he refused to say anything more, so that he could not go down.

Well, even if he really is from this family, so what? A descendant of the King of England 350 years ago, the family has long lost the throne, what else can be done in today's society?

However, there seems to be something wrong, the British army stationed in Huhai specially sent him 50 elite guards before evacuating, and later he knew by controlling these people that they were from the British mainland, and they were sent by the royal guard, is this the reason?

So what about the Stuart family on the American side? He didn't find this in the library......

By noon, he gave up his efforts and it! For a year and a half, he didn't know anything about Stuart, but he had come over and had a pretty good time—apparently he didn't want to admit that the family name had brought him benefits, though he knew it in his heart now.

——

In the afternoon, Li Junhao walked around the downtown area of Washington and went on a big shopping trip, but he only bought one of everything, including uncommon firearms, daily necessities, food, tobacco and alcohol, etc., to the surprise of the salespeople.

In addition, he bought a lot of books, all electrical products including radios and record players, and various electronic accessories such as tubes, circuit boards, capacitors, and resistors......

In short, as long as it was a "necessity" that could not be bought in Shanghai, he bought one, using the checkbook that Lister gave him yesterday, and did not use the cash in his carry-on space at all.

That evening, he returned to Ayers' house, and did not mention what Rist had told him, and though he was sure that the old man must have known a lot, including his origins, he had lost interest in inquiring into it, so let them keep it a secret! Anyway, they have to protect themselves now, isn't it okay to enjoy all this on their own? When you get into trouble, who is more anxious?

Ayres instructed him that after returning to Huhai, he still had to build up his troops...... In addition, it is also important to remember that when you have not received his orders, you must not follow the orders of any other department or person and hand over control of Huhai, no one can do it! But when you receive his instructions, you must execute them immediately, and don't waste time!

Li Junhao realized that this topic was a bit serious, but Ayres refused to explain it again, just asked him to remember these two points, and he must not forget them.

Of course, at night, he slept very unsteadily, always thinking about what he had heard in the past two days, and he didn't know when he fell asleep......

The next morning, before dawn, Li Junhao, Nick, and Avni got up and left, and went to Andrews Army Air Corps Base, 15 kilometers east of Washington, D.C., where the modified P-24 bomber was waiting for them.
