"Rebellion? Huck, what do you mean?"
Emperor Wilhelm looked at his chief secretary Hacker in shock.
Huck shrugged and said with regret: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I just received a call from the First Lord of the Admiralty. The Royal Navy has prepared the cruiser Bristol for you and is moored at the pier on the Thames River.
, as long as you board this cruiser, you can leave the UK immediately. After leaving the UK, you can go anywhere you want, except India!
Sir Nathan Rothschild also called and said that he has prepared a huge sum of money for you in his bank, including 10 million pounds. You can use it as you wish!
In addition, you don’t have to worry about the whereabouts of the Gurkha Guards and the British King’s German Infantry Regiment, everything has been arranged. They will all receive their due rewards, and ships will be arranged to send them back home.”
After all, he is a British gentleman. He also acted like a gentleman when he rebelled.
"But, why is this?" William was still unwilling, "I have promised to give up the throne to Victoria in the near future, why do they still treat me like this?"
Huck sighed: "Your Majesty, do you really not understand?"
Emperor William sighed, his face fell down, and the tears in his big eyes began to sway there without knowing when.
"It must be for India," Emperor William said in a gloomy tone. "I know that those Anglo-Saxons want to ride on the Indians' necks and become masters forever, but they don't even think about it. Once the British Empire loses and the Ming Empire
The strength to compete has become a country that obeys the rule of the Ming Dynasty, so why does she still have the cornucopia of India?"
"We can keep India lying on the ground forever and disintegrating from within. At the same time, a powerful Britain can keep Europe divided forever." Huck sighed, "It is possible to defeat a world empire of the size of the Ming Dynasty.
The only threats are a unified Europe, a resurgent India, or a thriving United States of America. If these three threats appear at the same time, even with the size of the Ming Dynasty, it is inevitable that one will lose sight of the other.
But if the UK can maintain the balance of power and division in Europe for the Ming Dynasty, and maintain the fragmentation and weakening of India. Then there is only one United States of America left, will the Ming Dynasty still be unable to suppress it? If the UK can play a role in the world system dominated by the Ming Dynasty.
With such an important role, how could the Ming Dynasty take away the cornucopia of India from our hands?"
It has to be said that as a man standing at the top of the British civil service system, Huck still sees the nature and value of the British Empire very clearly, even more clearly than any politician or hereditary prince - after all, most of those people
They were reincarnated, and British civil servants like Huck, who came from the middle class, can climb to their current position. Who is not the elite of the elite? It is not an exaggeration to say that they are actuaries of international politics!
And the geographical value of Britain can indeed make any world hegemon outside the European continent give her a good meal! And for the local Anglo-Saxons in England, the Ming Dynasty is far away from Europe.
The world hegemon will definitely give more preferential treatment than the United States and India, which are relatively close to Europe.
After all, there will be mustaches and red-haired men in Europe in the future, and the Ming Dynasty will have to go halfway around the world to send troops to intervene. If there is no "great hero" to support them, by the time the Ming Dynasty soldiers arrive, the mustaches may have unified Europe!
In addition, if Ming Dynasty wanted to suppress the United States of America, it would also need the cooperation of the British Empire, because the "Land of Longxing" of the United States of America is on the Atlantic coast, not the Pacific coast. It is impossible for Ming Dynasty to lock down its opponents by setting up a few island chains in the Pacific Ocean.
Even if it has now entered the New World, it can only curb the development of the western United States, but it cannot stop the development of the east coast of the United States.
Moreover, after the United States' westward advance is blocked, it can still go north or south. To prevent the United States from going south, it can rely on supporting Mexico, but to prevent the United States from going north, it must maintain a relatively strong Great Britain - otherwise the United States can compensate for the loss of the west by eating Canada.
and the loss of being unable to annex the entire Texas. Although the Ming Dynasty can occasionally bomb New York, it is unrealistic to deploy troops on the west coast of the North Atlantic for a long time. The long logistics line will drag down the country's finances, and it is difficult for the people to understand the country.
The significance of sending troops to such a distant place.
Therefore, maintaining Great Britain after defeating Great Britain has become the best choice for the Ming Dynasty.
Supporting the United States or India to compete with the Ming Dynasty for world hegemony may be the most beneficial to the entire Western civilization, but for the powerful and people of England, it is definitely a very painful choice!
Emperor William also understood that Huck's words were correct, but he was still unwilling to surrender. He was unwilling to surrender immediately.
But just when Emperor William was still trying to make a final struggle to get something more from his niece Victoria, in St. James Square outside St. James's Palace, a company of "work soldiers" from southern Germany was already marching on the London Labor Day.
In front of the people, barbed wire wrapped around the horse was placed, and Vickers heavy machine guns were set up. In front of the defense line composed of barbed wire and the horse, there was a cordon painted with white lime. Behind the cordon, there was a sign:
Write it clearly - rebellion is against the law, and you will be shot if you cross the line!
The commander of these German "engineers" was a company captain from the mountains of South Germany. He was in his thirties, not very tall, with a pair of blue-gray eyes that looked a little nervous, and a mustache on his lips.
.
His name is Adolf - a very ordinary German male name. And he is as strict and old-fashioned as most Germans, and doesn't know how to adapt!
The defense of St. James's Palace was an order from Emperor William, and firing when crossing the line was an order from Ernst August, Grand Commander of the King's German Infantry Regiment.
These two didn't just talk in vain, they both gave money.
And Adolf also signed a contract when he took money to serve as a soldier for Emperor William, promising to obey orders and obey orders - so shooting across the line was the spirit of the contract!
"Down with Kaiser Wilhelm!"
"Kuts get out of England!"
"Defend India to the death!"
"India is the India of the British"
The people of London were also shouting slogans loudly. They also had a spirit of contract and had received pounds from capitalists. Otherwise, it would be too late to work overtime. Who would have the time to oppose the emperor?
Moreover, most of these working people in London didn’t know German, so they didn’t know what those signs said? They just shouted slogans against the emperor while crossing the white line with their heads covered!
When Captain Adolf saw this group of British rebels rushing over regardless of dissuasion, he became anxious at the time - the British had a precedent of cutting off the king's head, were they going to kill Emperor William this time?
This is not possible!
So Adolf immediately shouted: "All attention. Defend the Emperor! Warning shots, rifle fire!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the German mercenaries who had been prepared for a long time immediately pulled the trigger, but did not hit anyone, and opened fire above the crowd. This was a warning shot, and if they did not retreat, it would be machine gun fire.
But at this time, there were too many people in the square and it was too noisy. The people in front were frightened when they saw the Germans opening fire, while the people in the back did not understand what was going on and continued to move forward, so they pushed the front
People move on.
As soon as Adolf saw this scene, he was not polite and immediately issued the second order according to the regulations: "Machine gun. Fire!"
A Vickers water-cooled heavy machine gun placed next to him fired first, with a "click-click" sound, and the flames swept directly through the crowd! There were also several machine guns placed throughout the defense line. Those machine gunners
Seeing that Captain Adolf was serious about it, he immediately followed the order he had received before and started opening fire on the unarmed people of London!
Chapter completed!
