The Rise of the Third Reich

Chapter 784 The Socialist Republic of England

On January 17, 1943, Winston Churchill, the most reactionary and greedy prime minister in the history of the British Empire and the dictator whose hands were stained with the blood of the people, finally ended his life in panic with a pistol amidst the gunfire of the uprising. To end his life full of evil!

However, the suicide of the British Prime Minister does not mean that the good life of the people has begun. Instead, it seems to have opened a Pandora's box, releasing the bloody politics that disappeared from British soil after the Glorious Revolution.

British political life, from this moment until long after, will be full of bloodshed!

"Long live peace! Long live the Republic! Long live peace! Long live the Republic..."

Cheers came from all directions to Harry Pollitt, the great leader of the British Bolshevik Party, giving him a dreamlike feeling. In fact, he is not sure now whether everything that happened on the 16th and 17th was true or false, or maybe it was really a dream.

What I thought was a small revolution turned out to be extremely smooth. It only took a dozen hours for London to change! Tens of thousands of workers' pickets and 200,000 to 300,000 revolutionary masses controlled by the Bolshevik Party unexpectedly captured Whitehall Street, Downing Street, and King Charles Street, streets where British government departments gathered, and also took control of all London police stations and occupied Several barracks were built and thousands of reactionary troops were disarmed!

Moreover... the reactionary leader of the British Empire, Prime Minister and Dictator Churchill actually lost his life in the armed uprising of London workers!

This seems to mean that the British Revolution has won, at least half of it...

"Comrade Polit! Comrade Polit..."

Ivan Maisky's shout dragged the great British leader back to the real world as if he had fallen into a dream. He looked around. It was a luxurious-looking room, but it was very messy. It was an office. Documents and books were scattered all over the floor. Several portraits of reactionaries fell on the floor, allowing people to step on them. go.

This is the Ministry of Finance building! Pollitt remembered that the office was in the Treasury Building on King Charles Street. Churchill, the enemy of the people, shot himself in the basement of this building!

Ivan Maisky added: "Comrade Pollitt, the revolutionary masses are gathering on King Charles Street now, waiting for you to declare the founding of the Republic of England!"

"What? Announce it now?" Pollitt was stunned. "The comrades from the Labor Party haven't come yet. We..."

The influence of the Bolshevik Party among the British proletariat was not very great and could not be compared with that of the Workers' Party. Because the Labor Party participated in the previous London protests, one million people were easily mobilized to take to the streets. As for the London workers' armed uprising, the number of workers who directly participated was only a few tens of thousands, and the crowd cheering and watching the excitement only amounted to two to three hundred thousand.

It was clear that the uprising was not supported by the Labor Party. However, the Labor Party has no objection. If millions of Labor Party supporters took to the streets last night to support the government and the royal family. The garrisons and royal guards near London would not have remained "neutral," and the uprising would have failed long ago.

Therefore, Pollitt believes that the Labor Party can still win. As long as the Labor Party can stand with the Bolshevik Party, the revolution can succeed.

Hearing Pollitt's words, Ivan Maisky sneered in his heart. The British proletarian revolutionaries are really naive!

Had it not been for the workers' death squads directly controlled by agents of the Third International (actually Soviet agents) yesterday to attack the headquarters of the Labor Party and the residences of the main leaders of the Labor Party, the revolution would have failed by now.

"Attlee will not come!" Ivan Maisky said, "because he has been killed by reactionary troops loyal to the royal family! The Labor Party headquarters was also raided by the Royal Guards!"

"What?" Polite suddenly became nervous. Now the British Bolshevik Party can control only 30,000 to 40,000 armed forces, and most of them are mobs. As long as the Royal Guards are dispatched, they can be easily crushed.

Pollitt was dumbfounded again, "What would we do without the Labor Party?"

"How come there is no Labor Party?" Maisky glanced at Pollitt. "There are still many comrades in the Labor Party who survived. As long as we protect them, they will cooperate with us. So we can now declare to the outside world that the Bolsheviks The Party and the Labor Party are comrades fighting side by side, and at the same time we must tell the people that the future of Britain will be a socialist republic.”

While speaking, Maisky had already handed over a speech he had drafted a long time ago to Pollitt, "Comrade Pollitt, just say it as it is written. We must give it a go now and revolutionize the world." Victory is entirely possible..."

Pollitt took a sharp breath, took the speech and looked at it. There wasn't much in it, so he memorized it quickly. Then he, accompanied by Maisky and several senior British Bolshevik cadres, came to a balcony facing King Charles Street.

The streets were filled with darkness, mostly supporters of the Bolshevik Party, and some were onlookers. They saw Pollitt walked out surrounded by people, stood in front of a microphone that had been arranged in advance, and said loudly: "Comrades! I salute the proletariat and soldiers of the British revolution. You fought against Churchill's dictatorship." A victorious revolution that won precious peace for Britain - I have discussed the issue of peace with the leaders of the Labor Party and have agreed, so I can assure you that there will be peace and there will be bread. , there will also be milk.

However, before peace can be fully realized, there are still some major issues that need to be resolved, which is to overthrow the reactionary, decadent, and brutal Windsor dynasty and the landed aristocrats and capitalists represented by the Windsor dynasty!

In the future socialist republic of England, factories will no longer be owned by capitalists but by workers. The land should not belong to the aristocratic landowners, but to the peasants! Only in this way can the 46 million British people achieve true happiness after the arrival of peace... Comrades, please work with the Bolshevik Party and the Workers' Party to carry out the British socialist revolution to the end! March to Buckingham Palace, where the most reactionary Windsor dynasty in Britain is entrenched! "

Pollitt raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the British socialist revolution!"

"Long live the revolution! Down with the Windsors! The land belongs to the farmers! The factories belong to the workers!" The excited revolutionary masses on King Charles Street also cheered together.

The cheers of the revolutionary masses spread to Buckingham Palace, which was like an anti-revolutionary island. Everyone who gathered here - from the evening of the 16th to the 17th, many reactionaries gathered from all over London to the Elizabeth Palace. Everyone around the princess was feeling heavy, even a little desperate.

The British Empire, at least the British Empire they knew and loved, is gone now!

Churchill is dead, Eden is dead, and Labor leader Attlee is missing and may have been beaten to death! The Bolshevik Party, with the support of the Soviet Union and perhaps the United States, controlled most of London, and announced that it would establish a Socialist Republic of England!

There was no doubt that Britain was going to fight a civil war.

Such a very troublesome question is placed in front of various British reactionaries. Who do they want to be loyal to?

Britain now has no legitimate parliament, a caretaker cabinet is almost non-existent, and King George VI is far away in Canada. There is a power vacuum in the UK, and the current problem cannot be solved by the Powers Act and the Succession to the Throne Act.

If all kinds of British reactionaries are not willing to sit still and wait for death, then they only need to swear allegiance to one person-the British eldest princess Elizabeth!

The reactionary army and reactionary officials now owe allegiance to a princess of the British royal family instead of the Parliament that can control the royal family.

This means that even if Princess Elizabeth leads everyone to victory in the civil war, Britain will no longer be a constitutional monarchy with democracy, freedom, and the rule of law... Princess Elizabeth will step on the corpses of her enemies and ascend to the throne made of blood.

She...will be a D monarch!

"Friedrich, what should I do?" Princess Elizabeth is just a 17-year-old girl, but now she has to face a cruel era. She looked at her fiancé, who was more than ten years older than her. She didn't love him, she was just prepared to marry him out of responsibility. But now, this man who looks very tough is her only support - Princess Elizabeth is not stupid, she knows that the Duke of Windsor is a useless guy and cannot be relied on at all.

"The key now is the Royal Guard. Without their loyalty, we will soon be captured by the Bolsheviks!" Prince Friedrich said, "Princess, you must address them in person and ask them to swear allegiance to you... ... If you're not sure of their loyalty, I can do their job with Mr. Mosley."

"Do their work?" Princess Elizabeth didn't seem to understand.

"Buy!" Friedrich said, "Money, titles and land...cannot be given on the stage, because many people cherish reputation, but few people will refuse the wealth under the stage. There will always be many like fathers in an army. Characters like brothers, they may be officers or non-commissioned officers, as long as you get their loyalty, the Royal Guard is firmly in your hands. "

Unlike the British royal family, which had not held real power for a long time, the German royal family still held power until 1918, so they knew how to win over the morale of the military - the Junker officers received more than just medals and honors from the royal family.

"I'll give it!" Elizabeth nodded, "The royal family has a lot of land and wealth, which can be used, and titles can also be conferred. It's not a problem." Her eyebrows still did not spread, "But the royal guard only has 12,000 people... …I am no more powerful than Charles I.”

"There are still many troops in Britain," Prince Friedrich took a deep breath. "Most of them will not like the Bolsheviks. But what they need is a strong leader!"

"strong?"

With a determined expression on his face, Friedrich said: "Princess, your hands must be stained with the blood of the Bolsheviks before you can let other British troops fight for you! This is also Prime Minister Churchill's last words!"
