1825 My New Daming

St. James's Palace, London, England, 1833 January 1.

"Idiot! What an idiot! The Navy is an idiot! The Army is also an idiot! 21 divisions and 21 divisions! It was over in less than 10 days? What kind of battle did this Goff fight? Was his rank bought with money? ? Now that the Australian campaign has just begun, as the commander-in-chief, how can he propose to give up defending Australia? Duke of Wellington, I want to hear your opinion!"

The person who waved his fist and roared in the throne hall was, of course, the King of the United Kingdom, the King of Hanover, and the Emperor William of the Indian Empire.

Just about an hour ago, Hugh Gough, who had been "lost" for almost a day, finally sent him a telegram.

The telegram is a little long.Tell Emperor William in the telegram that the Australian Army has suffered an irreparable defeat!
Fortress Brisbane fell, and the large corps of 21 divisions was also completely defeated by the Ming army's chariot corps on Tabletop Mountain and Tara Grassland. The Ming army used a large number of armored chariots and a kind of multiple rockets There were Congreve rockets in the early years, so Hugh Goff still wanted to know what kind of artillery he encountered?) There is a huge generation gap for the Australian and British troops!
So no matter how hard the British army tried, they couldn't defend Australia anymore, so let's just give up. At the end of the telegram, Hugh Gough told the emperor that he was leading thousands of remnants to Sydney, and there would be at least 10 days before he could make peace. His Majesty the Emperor has contacted.It is also possible. There will never be a way to contact the emperor!
See what this means, it means goodbye in the next life!
After reading Hugh Gough's telegram, Kaiser William jumped.

It is not surprising that Hugh Goff lost the battle. Daming was already very powerful, with the largest population and the largest industry in the world.But how could Hugh Gough, as the commander of the Australian Army Corps, put forward the suggestion of "let's just give up"?
How did this defeatist soldier become an army general?
Does the British Army know how to be ashamed?
"Your Majesty," the Duke of Wellington replied with a face of shame when he heard Emperor William's question, "It's all my fault. I promoted Admiral Goff with money. , it can be seen that he is a soldier with corrupt moral character and lack of leadership ability. Resign!"

"Resign?" Emperor William was stunned.

What does this Wellington mean?Seeing that the situation is not good, you are about to run away?
Seeing the astonished look in Emperor William's eyes, the Duke of Wellington quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the only way to save the situation is for me to personally serve as the commander of the Australian Army. Therefore, I must resign as the British Prime Minister!"

Oh, this is a shame!

Emperor William nodded approvingly: "Okay! Duke, I agree to your request."

The Emperor looked at Gray, the leader of the Whigs in Parliament, who was now Secretary of State for War, and the Whigs had the majority in the House of Commons.If the Duke of Wellington resigns, he should undertake the task of forming a cabinet. …

"Your Majesty," said Lord Grey, "I, as Secretary of State for War, am equally responsible for Australia's failure, and I shall resign."

"You" the emperor didn't know what to say.

The resignation of the Prime Minister means the disintegration of the current cabinet. Why do you resign?
"My lord," the emperor wanted to try again, so he said, "You are the leader of the majority party in the House of Commons, shouldn't you take on the important task of forming a cabinet now?"

"No, no," said Lord Gray, "We, the Whig Party, have no intention of taking on the task of forming a cabinet at this time, and I myself am the Secretary of State for the War. Prime Minister."

"what?"

Emperor Wilhelm couldn't even handle it.

Is this England?The majority party in the lower house of parliament refuses to form a cabinet, what does your majority party want to do?
"Sir Peel," Lord Gray refused to form a cabinet, so Emperor William had to ask the leader of the Tory Party, Robert Peel, "Is the Tory Party willing to form a cabinet?"

"No, no," Robert Peel shook his head like a rattle, "The Tories are a minority in the House of Commons and have no basis in public opinion, so they cannot form a cabinet."

Well, the majority party does not form a cabinet, and the minority party does not form a cabinet.

The majestic British Empire was defeated and lost its cabinet!

This is too outrageous!
Emperor William had no choice but to find Viscount Palmerston, who was quite popular in both the Tory and Whig parties, and just wanted to propose that he organize a coalition government.The Viscount Palmerston spoke first: "Your Majesty, I am the Minister of the Navy. I should be responsible for the failure of the Pacific War. I will also take the blame and resign."

Take the blame and resign, of course you can't form a cabinet!
Otherwise, it would be a promotion!
Therefore, Emperor William could only look for someone else, so he found the No. [-] figure in the Whig Party, Viscount Melbourne William Lamb, "Viscount Melbourne, you are not responsible for the defeat in Australia and the Pacific, are you?"

The Viscount of Melbourne is the Minister of the Interior, mainly in charge of the security of the British Isles.If he has any responsibility for Australia's failure, it is probably because there are fewer thieves caught, so Australia doesn't have enough cannon fodder for the army, right?

"Your Majesty the Emperor," said Viscount Melbourne, "Although I did not directly participate in commanding the war, as the Minister of the Interior of the current cabinet, I also have an inescapable responsibility for the current situation, so I am not suitable to lead the next cabinet. And I I believe that under the current situation, no British MP or aristocrat is qualified to take on the important task of forming a cabinet."

what?
Kaiser Wilhelm didn't know what to say at all?
No one can co-author the Prime Minister of the British Empire?

After thinking for a while, he asked calmly, "Viscount, do you think I should appoint an Indian nobleman to be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom?"

The Viscount of Melbourne looked at Emperor William seriously: "Your Majesty, which Indian nobleman do you plan to appoint as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom?"

"You..." Emperor William really didn't have a suitable candidate for the time being.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, the Viscount Melbourne suggested again: "Your Majesty, in view of the current situation, you may consider that it is not necessary for the United Kingdom to be the Prime Minister in person. In fact, the official title of the so-called Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is The first chancellor of the exchequer, because King George I could not speak English, it was difficult to communicate with the parliament and the big people, so he entrusted the first chancellor of the exchequer, the first earl of Orford, as his agent to take charge of the cabinet. It became a custom."

The Duke of Wellington added: "This is just a convention, and there is no statutory basis. His Majesty the Emperor can no longer appoint the First Chancellor of the Exchequer, and then personally control the cabinet. Under the current circumstances, the First Chancellor of the Exchequer is actually I am no longer capable of leading the cabinet. I believe that the only way out of this predicament is for you, His Majesty the Emperor, to lead the country personally."

Lord Gray, the leader of the Whig Party, also said: "I also agree with the Duke. The current situation is too difficult for any nobleman or member of parliament. No one can bear such a heavy responsibility. Only Your Majesty the Emperor, to be responsible for leading the British Empire and her people at this difficult time."

The leader of the Tory Party, Robert Peel, also said: "Your Majesty, this is also our opinion of leaving the party... Now please take back the rights that George I gave to the First Chancellor of the Exchequer. Please go to England and become ruled by the king again. country."
