The Rise of the Third Reich
Chapter 788 Can’t live without India
“God save the Queen,
I wish her a long life,
God bless the Queen!
Always victorious and bathed in glory;
The people's hope is high and their hearts are happy;
If you govern the country, your fortune will be long;
God bless the Queen! "
The melodious and high-pitched singing of "God Save the Queen" sounded not in Buckingham Palace, nor in Whitehall Street, but in the East End of London, where the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood has not yet dissipated!
On the third day after the East End of London was bloodbathed by the Royal Guards, that is, January 24, 1943, the Bloody Queen was officially crowned. Before the coronation ceremony, she rode in a gilt carriage, escorted by the Royal Guards cavalry, touring the London Circle. , including the streets of London's East End that had just been bloodbathed by the Royal Guards.
But what greeted her was not the angry working class, but the people who were extremely obedient and supportive of her. No one shouted "Down with the Windsors", no one shouted "Long live the Socialist Republic". As the motorcade passed by, people on both sides of the street first chanted "Long Live the Mountain" and then sang "God Save the Queen".
There is no sadness or anger in the singing, but a bit of joy and relaxation can be heard!
The British Empire finally has a wise king... Well, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that on the night of the 22nd, the Axis countries at war with Britain issued a collective statement after the Queen announced that London was completely under her control. Statement of armistice and congratulations to the Queen on her accession!
The war is over for the people on the British Isles - this is a matter of course. No matter how warlike the German emperor is, he cannot insist on putting his daughter-in-law to death! The British Empire will not belong to the Hohenzollern family in the future (a long, long time in the future)?
Moreover, all the Axis countries issued statements reiterating that they would abide by the post-war disposition of Britain in the Cairo Declaration.
The British Empire will also be preserved!
On the morning of the 23rd, two Liberty Ships flying the German swastika flag (captured by the European Combined Fleet) were filled with flour and egg powder (also produced in the United States) and milk (this was from the Netherlands), and sailed into the Thames River .
This means that traffic between the UK and continental Europe has resumed, and the bread and milk problem will be solved.
Also, at the same time the ships carrying food arrived in London. Members of the British Fascist Union began to set up food distribution points throughout the East End of London, distributing stocked bread and milk as well as Fascist Union propaganda materials to the proletariat in the East End for free.
These promotional materials claim that Her Majesty the Queen is very concerned about the suffering of the working people of the UK. Under the leadership of the Queen, Britain will implement national socialism like Germany, and the people will receive more benefits...
"Dear Friedrich," the queen looked at her fiancé with admiration and asked, "They almost overthrew the dynasty, why do you want to give them more benefits?"
"Because they almost killed us!"
Prince Friedrich said: "The experience and lessons of Germany and Russia tell me that people who can kill you and people who can protect you are very important! They must be appeased, otherwise our throne will not be stable. In Germany, these two types of people are the supporters of the National Socialist Workers Party and the Junker Knights. In Britain, they are both the working class who almost sent you to the guillotine and the backbone of the army who turned you into the Cutting Queen. The class that must be captured.”
What this prince is talking about is the routine of German politics. It did not start when Hitler came to power. It has been this way since the Bismarck era - the working class will be given some benefits, and the Junkers knights will be given some privileges. If both ends are grasped, the country will be stable. .
As for the bourgeoisie and middle class in the middle, don’t regard them as the masters of the country, because they are simply unreliable!
Prince Friedrich sneered and said: "Before this incident in London, most of the bourgeoisie and middle class in London had already gone to Canada and the United States! If we were to count on them, we would probably be dead!" "
In the year before the armed workers' uprising in London, it was true that many of the bourgeoisie, aristocrats and middle classes left for Canada and the United States. Their departure not only took capital and knowledge with them, but also changed the social structure of Britain and London. The middle and upper classes were greatly reduced in number and power. The number of people at the bottom has grown significantly due to the recession in the UK economy (because of the lockdown and a large amount of capital leaving).
This also resulted in the fact that when the London proletariat launched protests and uprisings, few people stood up to support the government and the royal family. Therefore, the Queen and Friedrich's court could not rely on the weakened bourgeoisie and middle class, so it was imperative to win over the working people.
"But how do we have the financial resources to win over the poor now?" The queen looked a little worried. "The empire's treasury is empty, the government is heavily in debt, the industry on the island of Britain is in decline, the fields are barren, and the pound has long lost its foundation and is like a piece of waste paper."
"Most of the debt can be ignored!" Friedrich said, "You won't have to pay back a penny of the money you owe the United States, and you don't have to pay back a penny of the money you owe India!"
The United Kingdom now has two major international creditors, one is the United States; the other is India. Although India is a British colony, the British are "righteous father and son, and they settle accounts openly." All materials transferred from India are settled by money. , and therefore owed India Asan a large sum of money.
However, Prince Friedrich was very thick-skinned and did not care about defaulting on his debt.
"The money owed to the United States will definitely not be repaid. The United States is a country in the enemy camp after all. But India is not our enemy. If the money is not repaid, Britain's international credit will go bankrupt." The Queen is thin-skinned and is embarrassed to refuse. Indian money.
"My dear, now we are defeated!" Friedrich smiled. "The defeated country cannot expect any international credit, and the pound will no longer exist... We must join the European Mark Zone, and even India must join."
"But the Indians are not satisfied with us..." The Queen frowned.
"What the Indians think is not important!" Prince Friedrich said, "because no matter how we please the Indians, they will definitely be dissatisfied. And the key to whether we can maintain the Indian Empire lies in Germany. As long as Germany supports us, We can have India, otherwise we are bound to lose India.”
He lowered his tone and said to his fiancée: "And in order to maintain the British economy and people's living standards, we have no choice but to exploit India! Since we want to exploit India, we can't expect to be favored by the Indians. "
Although the British mainland did not have the wishes of Stalin and Roosevelt and was beaten to pieces, the economy basically collapsed. Most factories are at a standstill or semi-stop due to lack of raw materials, and people's rations are seriously insufficient. If you want factories to have raw materials to operate and people to have enough food and clothing, you must exploit India, and Britain now has only India to exploit.
The Queen nodded, "I understand. We now need to use British industry and technology to please Germany, and then use India's wealth to win over the British military class and working class."
"Yes," Friedrich looked at his beautiful and very smart wife and smiled softly, "After the provisional government is established, I will go to Germany with you... I think there will be a satisfactory peace. Agreement, because we still have many very valuable chips in our hands.”
…
"Jets, new carrier-based fighter jets, new steam catapults used on aircraft carriers, radars, radio proximity fuzes, three Lion-class battleships under construction, dozens of well-preserved shipyards, and an annual steel production capacity of more than 1,000 10,000 tons, with an annual production capacity of more than 10,000 aircraft..."
Hersman held in his hand a list sent by Mosley, the chairman of the British Union of Fascists, and read it in a low voice.
Britain does have a lot of good things, some of which, such as the "Meteor" jet technology, radio proximity fuzes, radars, new carrier-based aircraft (Hessman estimates it is the Sea Fury) and three Lion-class battleships are still manufactured Some aircraft carrier technologies, as well as Britain's huge shipbuilding capabilities, are things that Germany needs very much.
In the end, Hessman laughed and said to the people in the headquarters conference room with a smile: "It seems that Her Majesty the Queen still has a lot of bargaining chips, but the most important bargaining chip is still missing from this list."
"The most important bargaining chip? What is it?" asked Adolf Hitler, whose face was almost full of smiles.
"Of course it's the Queen herself!" Hersman shrugged and smiled, "Is there anyone in Britain more precious than her?"
"Of course not," Hitler also laughed, "so now we must try to maintain the British Empire."
Hersman scratched his forehead and said: "According to the Cairo Declaration, we left three major colonies to the British Empire, the Canadian Dominion, the Australian Dominion and the Indian Empire... Now Canada and Australia are under the protection of the United States. We are temporarily We are unable to get involved. Then the key to maintaining the British Empire is the Indian Empire, and we ourselves also need India’s resources and markets.”
"Marshal Reich," German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop suddenly asked, "I remember you said that one of the conditions for an armistice the Soviet Union expected was India."
"Yes," Herschman smiled. "If Stalin gets nothing, then his status in the Soviet Union will be unstable... If he annexes India, his rule will be stable."
"We cannot agree!" said Hitler. "Without India for British exploitation, we would have to devote resources to maintaining the British economy."
"Yes, we can't agree!" Hersman fully agreed with Hitler this time. If the polar bear and the Indian elephant merged, it would be a big problem for the European Community in the future!
He paused and then said: "But Stalin will not give up the fight for India... He has been eyeing it for a long time. He has been waiting for the day when the British Empire will collapse, and now he has finally waited for it. So we must do a good job in supporting the British army. Prepare for a fight with the Soviet Red Army in India."
