Chapter 494 Great Britain Can't Live Without India Let's Rebel Together! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

As soon as I heard that Ernst August, the Duke of Cumberland, was coming, I just talked about how to search. Oh, it was the English dignitaries who helped India. Looking in horror at the commander of the Australian Legion, the Duke of Field Marshal Wellington—there are several infantry regiments, cavalry regiments, and artillery regiments under the Australian Legion stationed outside Windsor Castle. Although they are all newly formed regiments, they are not very strong. However, the German army led by the Duke of Cumberland should not be allowed to come to Windsor Castle quietly, right?
What can I do now?In the "case law" of the British law system on rebellion, only if the rebellion succeeds is it legal!Failure to rebel is always illegal and will result in beheading!

The Duke of Wellington's complexion is not very good, he is the mastermind of this "princess legal rebellion" incident!

According to the "case law" of the British legal system, Princess Victoria must succeed in the rebellion, be crowned king, and hold the power of life and death to be legal!If the rebellion fails, it is illegal!Not only is it illegal, but it also loses your head!It is really unsightly to pull out a Victoria doll and kill it, maybe one of them can be killed by illness.But the Duke of Wellington didn't end well, he was either shot or hanged!

The Duke had difficulty breathing at the thought of being hanged!

Seeing the Duke of Wellington's pale face and the cold sweat on his forehead, the traitors and thieves in the throne hall of Windsor Castle were also a little panicked, and they all shrank back involuntarily.
On the contrary, Princess Victoria looked calm, and asked with a smile: "Where is Uncle Ernst? Please let him in!"

Seeing Victoria's demeanor, the Duke of Wellington couldn't help admiring him in his heart. He deserves to be the first presumptive heir to the British throne!Just keep calm. This rebellion incident was handled relatively secretly, and there was no solid evidence—such as documents, covenants, and oaths.Oh, and there is a copy of the Treaty of Mingying Portage!It must be put away and destroyed!
He was just about to take back the copy of the treaty that Viscount Palmerston had just sent out, when the half-blind Ernst August came in through the door with a civilized stick. .While walking, he yelled: "Alexandra (Victoria's Christian name), William asked me to tell you that he is going to give you the throne of the United Kingdom and the throne of Hanover after you marry King Da Minglu. Leave it to me, and he will be an Indian emperor himself. Hahaha, what do you think?"

At this time, Ernst August has already realized that something is wrong, the hall is full of people!He squinted one eye and looked around, "Hey, why are there so many people? Are you all here? Why are you all stunned? Duke Wellington, you are also here. By the way, what are you discussing? Tell me about it?"

The Duke of Wellington understood what he said.It turned out that Ernst August was not here to catch the rebels, but to announce the good news to Princess Victoria. What a joy!

"Duke Cumberland," Duke Wellington said to Duke Cumberland with a smile, regardless of destroying the evidence, "Congratulations. I am very happy that the Kingdom of Hanover can get a king like you. But we We are still at war with Daming, so have we reached some kind of peace treaty with Daming? The marriage contract between Her Royal Highness Princess and King Lu of Daming has also been negotiated?"

While speaking, the Duke of Wellington gave his niece-in-law and confidant Somerset a wink, and the latter would understand immediately, and then retreated quietly.
"Yes," Ernst August said, "His Majesty's secret envoy, Sir Charles Elliott, is currently conducting secret negotiations in Naples with the special envoys of the Ming Empire, Zhuge Weijiu and Lin Zexu, and the Crown Prince of the Great Jin Empire Mediate from it.

According to the telegram just received, a preliminary agreement has been reached, and the other party has verbally agreed not to further seek the territory of the Indian Empire, and also agrees that His Majesty the Emperor will continue to be the emperor of the Indian Empire!The conditions are to cede the Australian mainland and all the British islands in the Pacific Ocean; Ceylon Island in the Indian Ocean; the Malay Peninsula and its affiliated islands; transfer the rights and interests of the United Kingdom in the Oregon Territory; agree to marry Princess Victoria to the King of Ming Lu wait."

"These are the conditions for losing power and humiliating the country!" Before Ernst August finished speaking, the Duke of Wellington had already put on a straight face and became angry, "And he is trying to split the British Empire! India is the British Empire that cannot be divided The whole! If India is lost, the British Empire will cease to exist! How could His Majesty the Emperor agree to such peace terms?"

As soon as he took the lead, the people who were still terrified because of the failure of the conspiracy to rebel just now came to their senses.

It turns out that the Duke of Cumberland didn't come to arrest them, and he probably didn't bring his troops. Don't panic now, so hurry up and boo!
"Yes, India is an integral part of the British Empire!"

"Without India, there would be no British Empire!"

"The British Empire must not cede India!"

"This is the loss of power and humiliation of the country, no, it is a condition for the loss of power and the ruin of the country, we cannot agree!"

"Yes, we can't agree!"

Ernst August actually knew that the British aristocrats and capitalists were unlikely to abandon India, but he never expected that the reaction of this group of people would be so strong and so fast. After the division of the territory of the British Empire, he jumped up, as if preparing for a revolution!Those who didn't know thought they were conspiring to rebel in Windsor Castle!
As soon as he thought of this, his heart trembled—these people are now surrounding Princess Victoria, no matter how they look at it, they want to use the princess to make trouble!

In British history, isn't the so-called Glorious Revolution the rebellion of the princess against the king?

Could it be Princess Victoria too.
Thinking of this, he turned his remaining short-sighted eye to Princess Victoria sitting on the throne, and asked, "Alexandra, what do you think?"

Princess Victoria doesn’t really care much about India. All she cares about is that handsome guy, King Lu. But the people below seem to love India, so she has to love India too, and she can’t let India leave the warm family of the British Empire.

Thinking of this, she used the tone that her teachers trained her to master every day, and said seriously: "The United Kingdom and the Indian Empire are two countries in name, but in fact they are one. India is to the United Kingdom like Scotland and India." Ireland is to England. England cannot live without Scotland and Ireland, otherwise the United Kingdom will no longer be a whole, nor will it be an island power that can influence the situation on the European continent. If the United Kingdom does not have India, then the British Empire will cease to exist Great Britain would cease to be a world empire, and England would lose her markets and sources of wealth. Without the wealth of India, England would be unsustainable, the United Kingdom would fall apart, and the people of the islands would be forever poor and wanting, as Future Queen of the United Kingdom, future mother of more than 2000 million British people, I cannot sit by and watch my country and people suffer like this."

Of course, she didn't figure out what she said, but the people around her wrote it down for her to memorize, so that she could say it when needed.But after talking about these reasons why India cannot be lost, she didn't know what to do, so she looked at the Duke of Wellington.

The Duke of Wellington said calmly: "Let's go and petition the emperor together!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ernst August, "Duke of Cumberland, let's petition the emperor together!"

Petition together?Ernst Augusta said in his heart: "I'm afraid we are going to rebel together? But William's desire to turn India into his own empire is indeed a bit too much. The British Empire really cannot live without India!"
