Chapter 354 Either sell the Queen or invite Napoleon! (Please subscribe, please vote)

Windsor Castle, Audience Hall.

While 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 Palace Auditor

John Conroy was in the audience hall discussing the princess's marriage with the Prime Minister Duke of Wellington, the Home Secretary Viscount Melbourne, and Princess Victoria's new court tutor and private secretary, the Duke of Marlborough.

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

The person who was speaking to the Duke of Wellington in a stern tone was the Palace Comptroller, John Conroy, a handsome, somewhat masculine middle-aged man. In his early years, this man was an attendant to Victoria's father, the Duke of Kensington.

, also once joined the army. Because he came from a relatively poor background, he was only a captain before retiring (a major was too expensive to afford). However, after the death of the Duke of Kensington, he gained the trust of the widowed Duchess and became an auditor.

long.

Because King William went to India on his own expedition, the United Kingdom now has Victoria as the nominal regent, and the Duchess of Kensington acts as the regent. Therefore, the palace comptroller John Conroy also took advantage of it and became "

A person with "little power" - the great power in Britain lies in the Parliament, and the king has at most a little "middle power". As the regent's confidant, a little power is good.

Although this John Conroy has little power, he is very courageous. He dares to speak loudly to a big man like the Duke of Wellington, and his words are so harsh.

The Duchess of Kensington's political wisdom is obviously not very high. After her "most trusted" auditor general criticized the Duke of Wellington, she actually looked at the Duke with questioning eyes, seeming to ask: "Are you?

Do you want to be like John Churchill and want to betray my precious daughter?"

Although the Duke of Wellington extremely hates the John Conroy in front of him, and is a little speechless about the political incompetence of the Duchess of Kensington - if it were not for the fierce war, King William could go to India and become emperor.

"Happy, no longer thinking about English"?

"Captain, please pay attention to your words!" The Duke of Wellington deliberately called John Conroy's military rank. "In addition, I can also tell you clearly that the war between us and the Ming Empire will not be decided by our two countries.

Survival or death is about world domination in the next century or even centuries. No one will land in the British Isles, and no one will land in Guangzhou, Shanghai, or Tianjin. But the losing side will still pay a heavy price.

You may even lose your future!

Therefore, based on 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 spoke with a calm face at this time, "What you mean seems to be the same as what John said, right?"

Isn’t that the same thing?

If you can't beat him, you have to beg for mercy or ask for help!

"No!" Duke Wellington glanced at Mrs. Kensington angrily, "Duchess, the war has not really started yet. The marriage of Princess Victoria and King Minglu is just an acceptable marriage for the United Kingdom.

It’s just a serious consequence. And for some countries on the European continent, this serious consequence will mean even more negative consequences. It may even lead to the disintegration of the country!”

Mrs. Kensington was confused and just looked at the Duke of Wellington blankly. John Conroy asked loudly: "Duke, please tell me clearly, who else on the European continent would do it because of Princess Victoria and the Ming Dynasty?"

The marriage between King Lu and King Lu is facing the possibility of falling apart?"

"Austria, and maybe Prussia."

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

"Because the marriage of Princess Victoria and King Lu of Ming Dynasty means that Ming Dynasty has achieved world hegemony, and the situation on the European continent will change drastically because of Ming Dynasty's victory. Ming Dynasty's traditional allies in Europe will be strengthened, and the United Kingdom will also

He was arranged by the Ming Dynasty to return to the European continent and then become part of the new European balance of power. Captain, you should know who are the traditional allies of the Ming Dynasty in Europe, right?"

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

“More precisely,” said the Duke of Wellington, “the Bourbon dynasty of France and the Romanov dynasty of the Rakshasa Kingdom will definitely be rewarded by the Ming Dynasty. France will have control over Italy, the Rhineland and

The right to move freely in western North Africa and West Africa, while the Rakshasa Kingdom will have the right to liberate the Balkans and Constantinople.

And our United Kingdom will definitely lose the Indian, Australian and Oregon colonies, but will definitely gain the right to expand in North Germany, and the Kingdom of Hanover will be strengthened, 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 seen "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

This time the speaker was a short, fat man with a big head, a face full of fat, and a cigar in his mouth. This fat man was the Duke of Marlborough, Georges, who was famous for studying Eastern culture and had nothing to do but eat well.

Spencer Churchill only saw him taking a puff of his cigar and explained: "In the eyes of the Chinese, the struggle between the two powers is the most unstable, and it is easy for fierce conflicts to break out. And once a fierce conflict breaks out, it is easy to decide

Victory or defeat.

There are too many small but powerful countries, and in the eyes of the Chinese, it is easy to annex each other, making it difficult to maintain order. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is relatively large, and it can accept the situation of three big countries dominating Europe.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty that won world hegemony will definitely arrange three powerful countries in Europe, and they must be three corner powers. Only in this way can they restrain each other and form the so-called tripartite confrontation. Therefore, the Rakshasa who occupies Eastern Europe, France and France who control Western Europe

The United Kingdom occupying the north is the ideal three European powers!

And Austria and Prussia, located in Central Europe, will definitely become victims of the new order of the three major powers in Europe and be brutally dismembered!"

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

of.

As for how China will arrange Europe after winning world hegemony, these experts also have a clear calculation. Not only George Spencer Churchill can figure it out, but there are also experts in France, Rakshasa, Austria, and Prussia who can figure it out.

Seeing that John Conroy finally had no questions to ask, the Duke of Wellington concluded: "The current war should be a war in which the entire West unites to fight against the Yellow Peril. But until now, it is only us.

The British Empire is fighting hard, and other European powers are waiting and watching. If this continues, the Yellow Peril will definitely 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 are talking about is not Austria, is it?"

"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!" Duke Wellington sighed, "Although I am extremely reluctant to see the resurrection of the Napoleonic Empire, now. This is the only choice!"

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

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

"Will this work?"

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