May 5, 1833, London, St. James's Palace.

Emperor William suddenly woke up from his sleep. His German infantry regiment went on a killing spree in St. James's Square, and his Gurkha mercenaries killed and set fire to London's industrial areas. Unarmed or armed London citizens were bloody and bloody.

The scene of lying in a pool of blood flashed through his dreams again and again after the British Civil War began. Emperor William was originally a kind and kind man. Before he became the emperor of India, the only act that could be called cruel was probably

There seems to be something wrong in his mind about whipping slaves and having sex with female slaves, in countries and regions that still retain slavery?

After he became the emperor of India, he still carried out some benevolent policies! For example, he allocated public debt, increased taxes, greatly expanded the army, and sent a large number of Indian soldiers to Malaya and Australia to fight against the Ming Dynasty. All of them ended up with no return!

However, until the "St. James Square Incident", Emperor William was still a good emperor who was diligent and caring for the people, so he wanted to continue to retain the throne of the Emperor of India after giving up the throne of the United Kingdom. From now on, he could concentrate on being a benevolent emperor to the Indian people.

Already.

But such a benevolent king as he is, is forever linked to atrocities such as the "Massacre in St. James's Palace Square" and the "Destruction of London Industrial Areas." In every nightmare of his, there are always some unarmed London citizens.

, sometimes even women and children, covered in blood or burned, with faces facing him with painful expressions, screaming and questioning: "Tyrant, why did you do this?"

Emperor William gasped and sat on the bed, staring at the darkness in a daze. He was not a tyrant! He was obviously ready to give up the throne of the United Kingdom to Victoria, and also agreed to Victoria's marriage to King Zhu Xiu of Minglu. He just wanted to keep India.

The empire is an asset with long-term value! And this is also in line with the long-term interests of the British Empire. Once India develops, it becomes a powerful and leading industrialized country with a population of 600 million, 800 million, or even 1 billion. Then the Ming Empire

But you will meet a real opponent!

Perhaps a few decades later, two industrialized powers with a population of 1 billion will start a "Thucyrid War" in the East. At that time, the opportunity for the British Empire to become great again will come.

What a far-sighted plan this is! This is completely dedicated to Great Britain!

Although Emperor William was prepared to let his descendants inherit the Indian Empire and at the same time decouple the Indian Empire from the British Empire, he still felt that he was not motivated by selfishness, but entirely for the sake of the British Empire and her people.

But why can't these cunning people in the United Kingdom understand the painstaking efforts of his emperor? Why did they gather in St. James's Square to cause trouble? Why did they kill just a few hundred people in the King's German Infantry Regiment and the Royal Gurkha Guards?

Why did they launch a riot in the London industrial area after being untouchable? And they were still so tenacious after the riot. The Royal Gurkha Guards and the King's German Infantry Regiment fiercely attacked for more than a month, almost reducing the London industrial area to rubble, and they still persisted there! Not only

Still persisting, and still firing 6-inch cannons at St. James's Palace endlessly!

"Boom boom boom"

The bombardment of the London Commune begins again!

The 6-inch shells roared across half of London, and then slammed into the surroundings of St. James's Palace, causing violent explosions. The loud noises and vibrations caused by the explosions passed through more than ten meters of soil and reached William

In the bunker where the emperor is.

This fortress located beneath St. James's Palace was originally an underground warehouse for storing weapons and gunpowder. St. James's Palace was built in 1530 and was ordered by Henry VIII. That Henry VIII was a powerful monarch!

Moreover, he was an enemy of the Holy See and violently suppressed Catholics in the country. Therefore, he needed to reserve a large amount of weapons and gunpowder in his palace to prepare for emergencies.

Unexpectedly, the weapons and gunpowder in this warehouse were hidden until they were scrapped, and the warehouse itself was put to great use. It became a shelter for a desperate British king.

During this period, Emperor William was bombarded and had nightmares. It was almost impossible to sleep, and his whole body was inevitably haggard. His originally strong body had become a little thin, and the original shirt and uniform were worn on him.

They are one or two sizes too big, and they look like they were stolen.

Suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the door was pushed open. It was the commander of the Royal Guards, Charles Elliot, who came in. Although this guy is a navy, he is "shame-conscious", and he can be regarded as disrespectful to William IV.

Shang Zhongxin. When the St. James's Square incident occurred, he was on his way back to London. After learning the news, he did not flinch, but traveled by night and day to return to his emperor.

Emperor William also had great trust in him. After he arrived in London, he immediately appointed him as the commander of the Royal Gurkha Guards and ordered him to unified command the various units attacking the London industrial area. Unfortunately, Charles Elliot's loyal management was not enough.

It does not mean that his ability is enough. Before he took over the Royal Guard, the Gurkhas attacked and burned while destroying half of the industrial area and causing huge civilian casualties. But they also achieved a lot.

progress, the London Commune's armed forces also suffered heavy losses. If the progress at that time had been followed, Emperor William would have controlled the entire London by now.

But Charlie Elliot felt that the Gurkhas had gone too far. After taking over the troops attacking the industrial area, he ordered the Gurkhas not to kill innocent people indiscriminately or to destroy wantonly. He also executed a group of Gorkhas who behaved recklessly.

The Gurkha officers and soldiers, as a result, greatly dampened the spirit of the Gurkha people. In addition, the Gurkha soldiers were exhausted from the continuous attacks, so the Gurkha people quickly began to "fish" and fight on the battlefield to "squander foreign workers."

Battle", and even lost a lot of territory due to the London Commune's counterattack.

Emperor William, who felt that the war was difficult to advance, had to call back the King's German Infantry Regiment sent to attack Windsor Castle and let them attack the London Industrial Area. However, at this time, the London Company also received support from France and the industrial areas of central England.

There were also some British Army soldiers from London's industrial areas who deserted and returned to London to join the Commune's army, thus greatly strengthening the Commune's strength.

Therefore, the attack launched by the British King's German Infantry Regiment did not make much progress.

Just when the civil war in London was reaching a stalemate, a distraught Charles Elliot appeared in Emperor William's bedroom.

When an oil lamp was brought into the underground bedroom by the emperor's Indian servant, the emperor saw Charles Elliot's panicked expression and asked in surprise: "What's the matter? What happened?"

Charlie Elliot said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, St. James's Palace is being bombed by planes. It is the Ming Dynasty's Feilong 2 carrier-based bombers that are dropping bombs! These planes also dropped leaflets, saying that Queen Victoria was about to lead her troops into London. She

Amnesty will be granted to all rebels who participated in the London Commune, as well as officers and soldiers of the King's Regiment of German Infantry and the Gurkha Guards, as long as they were willing to give up resistance.

In addition, these leaflets also stated that the Prussian army has completely occupied the Kingdom of Hanover!"
