1825 My New Daming

Chapter 515 The Death of Emperor William (asking for a subscription, asking for a monthly ticket)

Hearing the news reported by Charlie Elliot, Emperor William was stunned!

The Ming army's carrier-based aircraft actually flew to London to drop bombs!This shows that the Royal Navy has given up political neutrality and has completely turned to Queen Victoria. After Emperor William obtained the long-wave radio station from Rothschild's bank, he immediately tried to contact the Marquis Nelson in India. Ask him to try to stabilize the Royal Navy, keep them neutral, and prevent external powers from interfering in the English Civil War.

Unexpectedly, the influence of the Marquess of Nelson was not enough to prevent the Royal Navy from falling to Queen Victoria-the Royal Navy's doing so was tantamount to destroying the principle of neutrality they had adhered to for 200 years, and became a tool of British domestic political struggle ever since.

But what prompted the Royal Navy to abandon its neutrality when the legitimate king still occupied London, and fell to Victoria, the heir to the throne hijacked by careerists and rebels?
Could it be that the main fleet of the Ming Navy has already sailed into the English Channel?

It's impossible, right?
What surprised Emperor William even more was that the Prussian army had already occupied the Kingdom of Hanover, isn't it too fast?

And this incident hit Emperor William no less than the Royal Navy's fall to Victoria!Because the armed forces loyal to Emperor William now, except for the Gurkha mercenaries and some British militias loyal to the emperor, there are no fewer than 20000 German troops.The backbone of these German troops all came from the Hannover Army.

Once Hanover is occupied by Prussia, the British King's German Infantry is likely to be unwilling to fight.

Also, how did Hannover collapse so quickly?Ernst August should have left 30000 troops to garrison the elite professional army in Hannover, Nakadu. To deal with the Prussian conscripts, it is not a problem for one to fight three!
How did Hannover collapse?What happened?How many troops did the Prussians send to attack?
Thinking about these unsolvable questions, Emperor William was already sweating, and then slowly became cold again.He stood up suddenly, and rushed out of his bedroom barefoot, George Elliot followed closely behind him.

He has other bad news for the Emperor - the headquarters at St. James' Palace is losing contact with the locals (places loyal to the Emperor). Sixty percent of the local command has lost contact since last night.There are also at least 60 army units loyal to the emperor who have also contacted a lot. I don’t know if they were wiped out by the enemy or turned back?
There are still a few forts in the lower reaches of the Thames, and those forts can't be contacted. Those forts are the key points to prevent ships supporting Victoria from entering the city of London along the Thames!
In addition, Guildford, southwest of London leading to Portsmouth, was originally under the control of a small group of German local militia (loyal to the emperor), and this morning also lost contact!

And in the direction of Windsor Castle, it seems that a large group of people is gathering!

All signs indicate that the rebel group headed by the Duke of Wellington who hijacked Victoria has received strong support from external powers and is about to launch an attack on London.

Kaiser Wilhelm stormed barefoot into his makeshift headquarters in the bunker at St. James's Palace.Inside, a group of German-speaking officers were discussing in disorder.Phones are ringing everywhere.Calm down and listen, the sound of shells exploding and exploding is becoming denser and denser.Seeing the arrival of Emperor William, most of these military officers from the Kingdom of Hanover surrounded them as if they had seen a savior.There was a lot of talk about asking His Majesty the Emperor to make up his mind quickly, but he didn't say what kind of resolution he wanted the Emperor to make?
But Emperor William could also guess what these people meant—what else could he make up his mind now?The industrial districts of London cannot be brought down by determination!If the London industrial area cannot be conquered, once the Duke of Wellington's army arrives, Emperor William will be caught blind. There are London Commune inside and army rebels outside. Even if the emperor has superpowers, he can't win.

So now there is no other way but to run away!
Thinking of this, Emperor William stood there barefoot, and issued an order loudly: "Notify the British King's German Infantry Regiment and the Royal Gurkha Guards to return to the camp around St. James's Palace as soon as possible! Stay behind the defense line around St. James's Palace. The troops immediately began to prepare dry food, vehicles and ammunition, and the command staff immediately began to plan the breakout route. The target is Dover!"

As soon as his series of orders came out, the staff officers present were all stunned.

The "determination" they urged the emperor to make was actually to surrender to Queen Victoria or stick to London in order to strive for better conditions.Instead of breaking out and fleeing to Dover.

Because Britain is an island and the Royal Navy has fallen to the enemy.Without the release of the Royal Navy, it would have been impossible for Kaiser William to board a ship from Dover and flee to France.

Of course, the possibility of the Royal Navy releasing water is not small.After all, Queen Victoria didn't really want to get rid of her uncle. She would most likely order the navy to let William go to France.

But it is absolutely impossible for her to let go of more than 2 Gurkha mercenaries and the King's German Infantry Regiment!

I can't let it go either!
It is also impossible for Napoleon II to send enough ships to transport more than 2 people to France to Dover. It would be good to be able to transport one or two thousand.

In addition, there are still some people in various parts of the UK who support the emperor and regard the emperor as the legal monarch of the UK.But if he abandons London and runs away, he will no longer be the monarch of England.
West of London, Windsor Castle.

Emperor William was mobilizing his troops and was planning to break out of the siege and leave London.Outside the walls of Windsor Castle, on the vast field, there are all British Army officers and soldiers with live ammunition.

After the Royal Navy took a clear stand and the Ming Navy's Atlantic Fleet put on the famous "ship reviewing" scene, some of the army and localities that were still waiting to see all turned to Queen Victoria.

Several industrial cities in central England that once accepted the leadership of the London Commune all turned against each other after receiving Victoria's pardon and promise of land distribution.

Now the entire United Kingdom, only the capital London and its surrounding area, is not yet under the rule of Queen Victoria.

And the London Commune has also sent representatives to contact Windsor Castle-in addition to asking for a pardon, the leaders of the London Commune also hope that Queen Victoria can give specific measures on the promise of land distribution... They hope that some agriculture can be established Organizations such as mutual aid societies to help farmers with small plots of land.

In addition, they also asked the Queen's government to protect the interests of British workers and allow them to have more benefits and higher wages.

Victoria did not agree to their request, because both the Duke of Wellington and Zhu Xiyou believed that it is better to use a battle to recover London instead of peace negotiations!
Because only then would the future United Kingdom government have enough prestige to rule.

Moreover, the British Army, which supports the Queen's government, has also assembled.

More than 6 regular troops have gathered around Windsor Castle.

Only with the Queen's order, they can go to recover London.

Under such circumstances, Queen Victoria certainly could not agree to the request of the London Commune...even if the Queen's government would adopt the same policy after the war.

But now is definitely not the time to compromise!
"Dear Alexandra," Zhu Xiyou's voice sounded in Victoria's ear, "please order troops to be dispatched...but please don't order troops loyal to you not to harm your Uncle William."

Victoria froze for a moment, "Why?"

Zhu Xiyou said solemnly: "Because in the history of Ming Dynasty, there was once an emperor who gave such an order... He didn't want to hurt his uncle who was his enemy, and lost everything in the end.

Therefore, please leave William's fate to the Heavenly Father, the Emperor, to decide! "

Victoria nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
