Chapter 498 London Commune! (Please subscribe, please vote)

Well, the British Empire has another emperor (king)!

The heads of the trade unions, chambers of commerce, and banking industries in the conference room couldn't help but sigh.

Why is this British emperor so ignorant? Charles I rebelled, James II rebelled, and now William IV rebelled again. That’s three rebels! And that’s not counting Cromwell Jr. and the Duke.

What about the "anti-kings" of England before the Tudor Dynasty!

Let’s look at how well-behaved the emperors of the Eastern Ming Empire were? Ever since King Zhuge Wuzhong re-established the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have been good and law-abiding emperors, and none of them dared to rebel against the eight great families. It seems that this Ming Dynasty can become the number one leader in the world.

The empire is not unreasonable. The way the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty control the empire is more than one level better than the House of Commons of the British Empire.

"Gentlemen, don't sigh. The United Kingdom is in an extremely dangerous situation. Stubborn, heavily armed royalists and brutal foreign mercenaries are massacring the people of London! If we can't stop the killings of royalists and foreign mercenaries, wait until they

After killing the protesting people, Vickers Arsenal will kill us!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room panicked.

The most panicked among them is probably Nathan Rothschild. He is the richest person in the UK outside the royal family. However, the royal family’s money is all “dead money”. In theory, it belongs to the royal family, but in fact it is controlled by Parliament.

The royal family cannot use it at all - this is the most important reason why the British royal family was gradually controlled by Parliament after the Glorious Revolution (Emperor William lost control because he had the "big treasury" of the Indian Empire)! And Nathan Rothschild

Lord's money consists of real estate, stocks, bonds and other financial assets that may be confiscated at any time! And in order to buy the bottom, he recently used the bad news that Britain was about to lose the war to suppress the financial market, and then bought high-quality assets aggressively. This William

If the emperor succeeds in his rebellion, can he still keep his little possessions?

When I thought that the ill-gotten gains accumulated over the years would soon be confiscated, I ran out of ideas, so I followed the voice and found that the speaker was an old man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a sharp nose. It was Robert, the leader of the British trade unions.

.Owen.

Robert Owen is certainly one of the British capitalists that Nathan Rothschild hates the most!

This guy was originally a very capable capitalist! But he was not a good capitalist. He had to dream about "the world is for the common people", and even went to the Ming Dynasty to inspect, hoping to learn from the advanced experience of the Ming Dynasty that "the world is for the common good". After he returned from his studies, he proposed

It is necessary to allocate fields and land to the British working class - isn't this nonsense? Not to mention where this land comes from? Even if there is land, it cannot be distributed to the working people of the UK! If the working people have their own land

, are they still willing to work as cheap labor in factories? Have you not seen how much workers in the United States and Ming Dynasty are worth? Their hourly wages are 50%-100% more expensive than British workers! Even the income of Australia's "thieves"

It is also much higher than the hard-working British working class.

Therefore, Owen's opinions were ignored at all in the UK. But he refused to give up and gathered a group of friends who liked to think wildly like him. Together they sold their belongings and went to the United States to build a "New Harmony Commune". In the end, they lost money.

He lost all his money and returned to the UK empty-handed. After returning to the UK, because his ideas were very popular among British workers, he was elected as the chairman of the British National Union of Trade Unions!

However, at that time, the Ming Dynasty and Great Britain were already in a state of "undeclared war". With the enemy in front of them, Owen stopped messing around. After two or three years of stability, he gradually entered the circle of power of the British Empire. This time he wanted to expel

Emperor Z, of course, had to come forward as a trade union leader to shake things up - although it was completely "legal" for the British Army and Parliament to join forces to kill the King, the Duke of Wellington and the leaders of Parliament were still worried that the Army's addiction to rebellion was difficult to control.

After careful consideration, I still felt that we could first be polite and then be aggressive, let the union build artificial momentum first, and then give a large "abdication money" to let Emperor William run away on his own.

But I didn't expect that Emperor William was so decisive and directly ordered the King's German Infantry Regiment and the Gurkha Royal Guard to open fire!

With this opening, there is no room for bargaining - this is no longer a question of more money or less, but a question of life and death.

The thought of "life or death" made Nathan Rothschild furious - he was a big capitalist! A financial tycoon! He couldn't sit still and wait for death!

He stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth, waved his fists, and shouted: "We can't sit still and wait for death! We can't sit here and wait for the emperor's army to massacre! We must do it right away."

He wanted to run away immediately

But Robert Owen suddenly took over the topic loudly: "We must fight! We must arm the workers of the Wesk Factory!"

Arm the workers?

Nathan Rothschild felt something was wrong as soon as he heard it!

Why does armed workers sound a bit like the French Revolution?

Robert Owen didn't wait for Nathan Rothschild to object, and said quickly and urgently: "London is the largest city in the UK, with a population of 2 million, and it also has the largest number of industries in the UK, including a large number of arsenals! And

There are a large number of banks with countless gold and silver coins stored in their vaults! If the emperor controls London, 2 million people, countless gold and silver and a large number of arsenals will be controlled by him!

Moreover, London is also the capital of the United Kingdom, and all the fence-sitters are looking at whoever controls London will win the support of these fence-sitters.

Don’t forget, the reason why Charles I lost the civil war was because he failed to resolutely capture London in the early stages of the war!”

Not to mention, Owen's words are still very reasonable. The gain and loss of the capital is a landmark event in any country's civil war. For example, the French revolution depends on Paris, while the British look at London, and the Rakshasa Kingdom looks at it.

If it is Petersburg, Austria is Vienna. Even if it is the Ming Empire in the East, the ownership of the northern and southern capitals is crucial.

Therefore, if Emperor William could quickly control London before the start of this civil war, he would most likely be able to reverse the unfavorable situation and achieve a comeback.

The army ministries currently supporting Victoria and the Duke of Wellington might switch sides to support the emperor.

The thought of the emperor's possible victory frightened the rebellious officials and traitors present, and they expressed their support for Owen's proposal.

“The workers must be armed immediately!”

"Yes! London must not be given away!"

"If we give up London, even if we can save our lives, we will lose most of our property!"

"Fight with the emperor"

Of course, the rebellious officials and traitors were not willing to sit still and wait for death, and they all started to fight fiercely.

Nathan Rothschild also made up his mind - his bank in London is too important, with a large amount of gold, silver and bills stored in it. Once it is taken away by the emperor, the Rothschild family will be finished!

However, he was not worried about letting the workers run around with guns, so he looked at Owen with a burning gaze: "Mr. Owen, we can arm the workers, but how should we lead them?"

"A London Commune could be established on the basis of the GUA!"
