The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

"Ladies and gentlemen, London has been captured by the German army, and our king has left the capital and gone to Liverpool. Do you think we should continue to fight? Even if we win in the end and repel the German army, what else can we do?"In a manor somewhere in Oxford, a debate is going on fiercely.

The person who is talking loudly is the famous Earl Spencer. This family has always been very eager for power, so the relationship with the royal family is also the closest.

Unfortunately, in recent years, due to the excessive power of the House of Commons, the rights of the nobles have been weakened a lot, and even many nobles can only gain power by joining the army.

At this moment, Earl Spencer's face was extremely angry:"Ladies and gentlemen, we died hundreds of thousands of young people for this war, and lost hundreds of islands in the Atlantic. The British Empire cannot go on like this, otherwise we will not even be a third-rate country. We have lost dozens of warships, and the foundation accumulated by the empire for hundreds of years is all gone."

Many of the nobles present have lost their former power. Now they are only slightly better than ordinary people, but they want to restore the glory of their families all the time.

"Now our Prime Minister wants to abandon the land where we have lived for thousands of years. Do you think you can agree to this? We nobles have lived on this land for hundreds of years at the shortest. How can we leave the country where we live?"Earl Spencer said loudly.

Hearing this, many nobles showed angry expressions on their faces. Yes, they have lived here for hundreds of years, and some have lived here for thousands of years. Now they are asked to give up everything and leave their homeland. They absolutely cannot agree to this.

"Lord Spencer, if you have any ideas, just say it directly. We are all nobles here and our interests are the same." The Duke of Cavendish asked with a gleam in his eyes.

Hearing this, Earl Spencer took a deep breath and said slowly:"I have received intelligence that King Edward VIII has announced his comeback and will serve as the new king of the British Empire, and he has stated that the rights of the nobles will be expanded."

These words were like a bomb that made many nobles present dizzy, and they asked in disbelief:"Is this true?"

"Of course it's true, don't you believe it? This is a handwritten letter from King Edward VIII."Earl Spencer took out a letter and said lightly.

Everyone looked at each other. If this was true, they really had to think about it. They had very complicated feelings for Edward VIII.

Although the other party married a commoner, it must be said that everything he gave for love deeply moved many people, especially those of Edward's generation, who were all impressed by his style. If it were them, they would definitely prefer the country to the beauty.

Before, they were worried that if they surrendered to the Third Reich privately, they would be cursed and perhaps become sinners of the empire, but now it is different. A former king stood up and announced peace talks, and they don't have to bear these charges. It can even expand their own rights and strengthen the development of the family. They, the old nobles, want to restore the glory of the family all the time.

After reading Edward VIII's handwritten letter, everyone's expressions became more complicated, with joy, excitement, and contradictions, all kinds of interweaving.

"Earl Spencer, what do you think?"A viscount asked

"What do you think? Edward VIII is the legitimate heir, and he is the legal heir announced by King Edward VII."Earl Spencer said lightly.

He worked so hard because Edward VIII promised that once he was restored to the throne, Earl Spencer would become the Duke of Spencer and become the core of the empire.

It was difficult to become a duke in the British Empire, unless you followed the king to conquer the world and had outstanding military achievements to be eligible for the title of duke.

Before this, it was impossible to be promoted to the duke, and those people in the House of Commons would not agree at all, but now it was different. As long as he declared his allegiance, his family would become a duke, which was his long-awaited wish.

"I am willing to join." The Viscount who spoke took a deep breath and said

"Congratulations, Earl Short, you made the right choice. Earl Spencer congratulated immediately.

Hearing this, Viscount Short asked in disbelief:"Earl?"

"Yes, the king promised that the first nobles to join would be promoted one level. You were originally a viscount, so you are now an earl. Earl Spencer promised.

The nobles were even more excited, and many of them announced their joining. Seeing that more than a dozen nobles had announced their joining, Earl Spencer smiled and looked at the Duke of Cavendish who had been silent.

"Your Excellency, Duke, what are your plans?"

To be honest, the conditions promised by Edward were indeed tempting, but the Cavendish family was already a duke, and that was the end of it. The prince was a royal title, and we couldn't grant him the title of prince.

"I need to think about it. You know, such a big thing requires some thought."The Duke of Cavendish did not refuse, but he did not win immediately.

Looking at the expression of the Duke of Cavendish, Earl Spencer chuckled.

He also knew what the other party was thinking.

However, the Duke of Cavendish was considered a very powerful family among the nobles.

The Duke of Cavendish, also known as the Duke of Devonshire, has been in politics for generations, and his family has been the Prime Minister.

There have also been Governors General of Canada and scientists.

Therefore, if the Cavendish family joins, it will save a lot of trouble.

At least half of the nobles will agree to join.

Moreover, he himself is a lieutenant general in the army. If he can join, more nobles will join.

After thinking about it, Earl Spencer sighed. His Majesty King Edward VIII has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts. He took out another letter and said slowly:"Duke Cavendish, according to imperial law, it is impossible to grant relatives to other nobles, because this is an exclusive title of the royal family, but His Majesty the King is willing to establish the title of Prince above the Duke, and specially grant it to meritorious nobles."

"Congratulations, Your Highness, the Duke of Cavendish."

The title of Duke was like a bomb, which made the Duke of Cavendish a little confused. He said with an expression of disbelief:"Duke? Is this true?"

"Oh my God"

"It turned out to be the prince!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"What a courage."

The envious voices around him made the Duke of Cavendish dazed.

He didn't expect Edward to have such courage to establish the title of Prince above the Duke and below the Prince.

This courage was not comparable to King George.

After a long time, the Duke of Cavendish showed a bitter smile on his face, and then said solemnly:"Your Majesty the King is really very courageous.

I, Edward William Spencer Cavendish, the current Duke of the Cavendish family, am willing to be loyal to my king.

May God bless my king!

"

"May God save my king!"

"May God save my king!"
