The Third Reich: I Became Emperor
Chapter 118
"Cousin, this throne is yours. You are just taking back everything that once belonged to you. What are you worried about?"August did not come as an emperor this time, but as a cousin.
The mother of German Emperor Wilhelm II was Queen Mother Frederick (Princess Victoria), the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, so Wilhelm II was her grandson and a cousin of
George V. Duke William was the eldest son of George V, and August was the son of William II. So the two sides were cousins, but this relationship was very weak. But now it was borrowed by August, which was very timely.
Hearing this, the Duke of Windsor did not say anything. He was not surprised that August called him cousin. They were indeed cousins and had met when they were very young. Of course, He had only just met him once.
However, he could naturally guess August's purpose, but he didn't know how to start the conversation.
In fact, his abdication was indeed forced. On the one hand, it was because the queen he married was not of noble birth, but a commoner, not even a native of his country, but an American. This made many nobles very dissatisfied. After all, the theory of bloodline has lasted for a thousand years.
On the other hand, he was too close to the Third Reich, often making some sympathetic remarks, and even advocating to help the Third Reich in many public occasions, which made many politicians feel that he was not suitable to be king.
In the banquet hall, looking at the food on the table, the Duke of Windsor had even more mixed feelings.
"Cousin, London has been captured by us now, and the war is over."August was the first to speak. Calling him cousin reminded the Duke of Windsor that the two sides were indeed relatives, and they had a deep blood relationship. His father was the grandson of Queen Victoria, and William II's mother was the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria. Strictly speaking, they were not yet out of the fifth degree of mourning, so the relationship between the two sides was still very close.
"Yes, you are right, the war is over, and civilians don't have to suffer the ravages of war anymore."The Duke of Windsor sighed.
Although he was exiled to the Bahamas, he still cared about the situation, but George didn't see the situation clearly at all, and he sold almost all the islands in the Atlantic.
Why did the British Empire become the Empire where the Sun Never Sets? It was because they had colonies all over the world, and they could see the sun rise and set no matter where they were, so they were called the
Empire where the Sun Never Sets. However, in order to protect their homeland, they sold all the islands in the Atlantic. Can it still be called the Empire where the Sun Never Sets?
Now that these islands have been lost, the British Empire has become a second-rate country.
Such a price is really too high. In comparison, it is a better choice to negotiate and continue to maintain the original colonies.
"Now that London has been liberated, we hope that you, my cousin, Edward VIII, can return to London and continue to be your king. August stood up and said
"As for my brother and sister-in-law, they will also become the happiest queens."
Hearing this, the Duke of Windsor hadn't spoken yet, but the lady next to him was already excited. She married the Duke of Windsor partly because she wanted to become the queen. Later, in order to marry her, the Duke of Windsor gave up the king, which moved her very much. Now that she can regain the status of king, she thinks she should fight for it.
However, the Duke of Windsor did not agree immediately. Instead, he quietly picked up a glass of wine, took a sip and said lightly:"Good wine, at least fifty years old, it should be the wine produced by Rothschild Manor."
August smiled, he knew that the Duke of Windsor agreed.
"If you like it, I'll have someone send you a few bottles later. I still have some." August said with a smile.
"In that case, thank you very much."The Duke of Windsor drank the red wine in his glass in one breath and said again:"Your Majesty, I want to know how the British Empire will exist and whether the colonies can continue to be preserved."
Since he chose to regain the throne, he naturally had to consider it from the side of the British Empire.
August was not dissatisfied with the Duke of Windsor's change. Instead, he smiled, indicating that the other party was willing to cooperate. It depends on the conditions offered.
"The British Empire can continue to rule the entire colony, and the territory remains the same as before. The only thing that needs to change is the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, which we need to control. In addition, we have other areas of cooperation. For example, we will integrate all the factories in your country."
"At the same time, a joint bank will be established throughout Europe. At that time, the resources of the whole of Europe will be integrated together, so that greater advantages can be brought into play. At that time, there will no longer be any barriers, and goods from various countries will flow between each other."
August was boastful and said a lot in a row.
And a picture flashed through the Duke of Windsor's mind. The Emperor of Europe?
This is to complete the dream that the Emperor did not complete. The Duke of Windsor was a little dazed for a moment.
In fact, if you want to compete with the Allies, you can only be qualified if you integrate the whole of Europe, but the integration will be affected by their respective interests.
Fortunately, the strong combat effectiveness of the German army has reduced a lot of troubles. For example, France was defeated, and their announcement of joining would reduce a lot of resistance. Now that the British Empire has joined, everything will be smoother.
The other small countries did not dare to have any opposition at all. As for Italy, it was already in the hands of the German army, and it could not turn the world around.
As long as Europe can be integrated in the shortest time, plus the huge colonies, it will be enough to compete with the Allies.
August talked eloquently, talking about how to develop now and how to develop in the future. Everyone present was fascinated, even the Duke of Windsor was aroused by his interest.
When August finished speaking, the Duke of Windsor lit a cigar, smoked silently for a while, and slowly���He said:"I am very moved by what you said. I am also willing to witness the whole of Europe become one. I am willing to become the King of the Sun Never Sets and restore peace to Europe. This damn war should have ended long ago."
With the Duke of Windsor's agreement, the situation of the entire Sun Never Sets has actually undergone major changes. At least the resistance of the British Isles will be reduced.
"Congratulations, my cousin, Edward VIII."August said with a smile
……
"Bastard, traitor, as a member of the Windsor family, how can you compromise and bow your head, how can you surrender to the Third Reich!"Because of anger, King George spoke very smoothly without the slightest stuttering.
"Damn it, if you want the throne, I will give it back to you. I don't want to be the king at all."
"Aren't you in the Bahamas? Why did you go to Berlin?"
King George was very angry. Why did his brother surrender to the Third Reich and why did he want to take back the throne?
Fatty Qiu, who had just arrived at the temporary palace, also heard about this. He was also very angry. This was equivalent to marking the complete division of the British Empire into two countries.
Moreover, Edward VIII also had a certain prestige. At least many old nobles in the overseas colonies still missed Edward VIII.
For the first time, Fatty Qiu felt that the situation had become very serious. Even if the capital was lost, he did not despair. This time he was really desperate.
He could now think of those old nobles who had originally agreed to resist. Now that they heard that Edward VIII was back, they would definitely run to London to meet the new king.
"The situation will be difficult from now on." Fatty Qiu thought silently.
