Windsor Castle, Audience Hall.

Just when Princess Victoria was eating a nutritious breakfast carefully selected by her mother, the Duchess of Kensington, in her own small dining room, which was conducive to her growth and development.The Duchess of Kensington and the Duchess's most trusted Court Auditor, John Conroy, the Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington, who is coming from the audience hall and London, the Home Secretary, the Viscount Melbourne, and Princess Victoria's new court teacher and private The secretary, the Duke of Marlborough, was discussing the princess's marriage together.

"Prime Minister, can I understand that if you can't defeat the Ming Empire, you are going to sell your future queen in exchange for a humiliating peace?"

Talking to the Duke of Wellington in a stern tone was John Conroy, Auditor-General of the Court, a handsome, manly middle-aged man.This man was an attendant of Victoria's father, the Duke of Kensington, in his early years, and he also joined the army. Because of his relatively poor background, he was only a captain before retiring from the army (major is too expensive to afford).But after the death of the Duke of Kensington, he gained the trust of the widowed Duchess and became Auditor-General.
Because King William went to India in person, Victoria is now the nominal regent of the United Kingdom, and the Duchess of Kensington is acting as the regent, so the court auditor John Conroy also followed suit and became "" A person with a small amount of power——Britain's power lies in the Parliament, and the king has at most a little bit of "middle power". For him, the regent's mother's confidant, a little bit of power is not bad.

Although this John Conroy was small, he was quite courageous. He dared to speak loudly to a big man like the Duke of Wellington, and what he said was so harsh.

The Duchess of Kensington's political wisdom is obviously not high. After her "most trusted" Auditor General stunned the Duke of Wellington, she actually looked at the Duke with questioning eyes, as if asking: "Are you Want to be John Churchill second, want to betray my precious daughter?"

Although the Duke of Wellington hates John Conroy in front of him very much, and he is a little speechless about the political incompetence of the Duchess of Kensington-if it is not for the fierce war, King William can go to India and become emperor. Le, don't think English"?
"Captain, please pay attention to your words!" The Duke of Wellington deliberately shouted John Conroy's military rank, "In addition, I can also tell you clearly that the war between us and the Ming Empire is not decided by our two countries. Survival, but the domination of the world in the next century or even several centuries. No one will land in the British Isles, and no one will go to Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Tianjin to land. But the loser will still pay a heavy price, You may even lose your future!

Therefore, proceeding from the interests of the United Kingdom and the rationality of politicians, we cannot categorically reject the other party's request for marriage! "

"Prime Minister." The Duchess of Kensington said with a calm face at this moment, "Your meaning seems to be the same as what John said?"

Isn't that the same thing?

If you can't beat it, you have to beg for mercy. Or ask for help!
"No!" The Duke of Wellington glanced at Lady Kensington unhappily, "Duchess, the war has not really started yet. The marriage between Princess Victoria and King Lu of Ming Dynasty is just an acceptable marriage for the United Kingdom." Serious consequences. And this serious consequence will mean even more unfavorable consequences for some countries on the European continent. It may even lead to the disintegration of the country!"

Lady Kensington was bewildered and just looked at the Duke of Wellington in a daze.And John Conroy asked loudly: "Duke, please tell me clearly, who else in the European continent will face the possibility of falling apart because of the marriage between Princess Victoria and King Lu of Ming Dynasty?"

"Austria, and perhaps Prussia."

"Austria and Prussia?" asked John Conroy. "Why?"

"Because the marriage between Princess Victoria and King Lu of Ming Dynasty means that Ming has gained world hegemony, and the situation on the European continent will undergo drastic changes because of Ming's victory. Ming's traditional allies in Europe will be strengthened, and the United Kingdom will also It was arranged by Da Ming to return to the European continent, and then become a part of the new European balance of power. Captain, you should know who is Da Ming's traditional ally in Europe, right?"

John Conroy thought for a while, nodded and said, "France and Rakshasa."

"To be more precise," Duke Wellington said, "the two countries, the Bourbon Dynasty of France and the Romanov Dynasty of the Raksha Kingdom, will definitely be rewarded by Ming. The right to move freely in western North Africa and West Africa, while the Raksha State will have the right to liberate the Balkan Peninsula and Constantinople.

And our United Kingdom will certainly lose India, Australia and the Oregon colonies, but will definitely gain the right to expand in North Germany. The Kingdom of Hanover will be strengthened, thus making us a member of the European Continent! "

"But why did the United Kingdom get the right to expand in North Germany?" John Conroy still didn't understand. "Is it because King Minglu married Princess Victoria?"

"Captain, haven't you watched Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

This time it was a short, fat man with a big head, a fat face, and a cigar in his mouth.This fat man is George Spencer Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough who is well-known for researching oriental culture when he is full. Unstable, it is easy to break out fierce conflicts. Once a fierce conflict breaks out, it is easy to decide the outcome.

However, there are too many small but powerful countries, and it is easy for the Chinese to annex each other, making it difficult to maintain order.Moreover, Ming's size is relatively large, and it can also accept the situation where three major powers dominate Europe.

Therefore, Ming, which won world hegemony, would definitely arrange three powerful countries in Europe, and they had to be three powers occupying the corners. Only in this way can they check each other and form the so-called tripartite confrontation.Therefore, Rakshasa occupying Eastern Europe, France controlling Western Europe, and the United Kingdom occupying the north are the most ideal top three in continental Europe!
And Austria and Prussia, which are located in Central Europe, will definitely become victims of the new order of the three powers in Europe and be dismembered! "

It has to be said that Chinese-style strategies are fully written in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".And because the European powers on this timeline are not as powerful as the Ming Dynasty, they have always attached great importance to the study of China, and there are some real experts on China.

And how China will arrange Europe after winning the world hegemony, these experts can also calculate clearly.Not only this George Spencer Churchill can figure it out, there are also experts in France, Rakshasa, Austria, and Prussia who can figure it out.

Seeing that John Conroy finally couldn't ask any questions, the Duke of Wellington concluded: "The current war should be a war in which the entire West unites against the Yellow Peril. But until now, only we The British Empire is fighting hard, and other European powers are watching. If this continues, the yellow peril will surely sweep across Europe, so now other European powers must stand up and fight with us!"

The Duchess of Kensington frowned and asked, "Duke, the European power you're talking about isn't Austria?"

"Of course not," said the Duke of Wellington, shaking his head. "It's France! Napoleon's France!"

"Napoleon's France? But Napoleon is dead," said the Duchess of Kensington.

"There is a new Napoleon!" The Duke of Wellington sighed. "Although I am extremely reluctant to see the revival of the Napoleon Empire, but now... this is the only choice!"

"You mean Napoleon II?" The Duchess of Kensington shook her head, "but he is in the hands of the Emperor of Austria."

Wellington glanced at the Viscount Melbourne, who immediately stood up and said, "Duchess, we can let Princess Victoria go to Vienna and bring Napoleon II to London."

"Can this work?"

"Yes!" said the Duke of Wellington, "as long as the Austrians deliberately release the water."
