Can it be done?
An Indian emperor led his Indian soldiers - of course this army was also a British-Indian army, but in order to highlight their Indian qualities, Emperor William allowed the Indian Asan in the army to wear military uniforms with Indian characteristics, and also allowed them to wear military uniforms with Indian characteristics. They have different sects and wear various turbans... And this army has a large number of people, as many as more than 20,000 people. It is organized into three rifle brigades, one cavalry brigade and Several battalions of troops.
The equipment is also quite sophisticated, not inferior to the real British army at all.
In addition, the Anglo-Indian Army of the Indian Empire is different from the British Army. Their allegiance is not to Parliament or the country, but to the Indian Emperor himself. Today's Indian Asans actually do not have the concept of a country. Their allegiance is still to the monarch and the The dynasty they represent, for them, the country of India is a geographical concept, and Emperor William of the Hanoverian dynasty is their master.
This is true for ordinary Indian soldiers. As the Indian soldiers in Emperor William's Guards who are particularly well-paid, whether they are Hindus, Sikhs, Devadanists or Gurkhas, they all declare their loyalty to the Indian Emperor without exception.
What would the British people think if such a large group of Indian emperor's personal soldiers appeared on the streets of London with their master?
Do they feel they have been conquered by foreign colonizers?
This is a bit hard to accept!
The British Empire has colonies scattered all over the place, and it is an extremely vast empire on which the sun never sets. In the end, its own homeland also became a colony. How can you make the British people feel so embarrassed?
Thinking of this, Marquis Nelson and Earl Amherst shook their heads together, looking embarrassed.
"No?" Emperor William was a little unhappy, "I am the Emperor of India! Why can't I take my Indian soldiers to England?"
"Your Majesty," Amesh said with a frown, "you are also the king of the United Kingdom... If you overemphasize your status as the Emperor of India, it will give the subjects of the United Kingdom the illusion that their The monarch is actually a foreigner."
"But I'm not originally from England!" Emperor William looked surprised. "Actually, I am a German. I belong to the Hanoverian branch of the Brownschweig dynasty, and the Brownschweig dynasty comes from the Welf family, an ancient German aristocratic family. , Otto IV of the Welf family was elected emperor of the German Holy Roman Empire in 1198...and I am the second emperor in the family, Emperor Wilhelm!"
Well, Emperor William from Germany is returning to London, which is loyal to him...
Emperor William was still surprised when he saw the Marquis of Nelson and the Earl of Amherst, so he went on to say to them: "In fact, the real English, or more accurately, the descendants of the Anglo-Saxons or Celts, There has been no British monarch since the Norman Conquest in 1066. After the Norman Conquest, the Norman dynasty, the Plantagenet dynasty, the Lancastrian dynasty, the York dynasty, the Tudor dynasty, the Stuart dynasty, The Orange Dynasty and the Hanoverian Dynasty all came from abroad. In the more than 700 years after the Norman Conquest, Cromwell was probably the only true Anglo-Saxon among the British rulers!
If the British people really care about the bloodline of their rulers, then the Cromwellian dynasty should be ruling Britain now. "
Emperor William was indeed right. Britain has been ruled by foreign monarchs since the Norman Conquest, and these foreign royal families will not intermarry with the Anglo-Saxons in Britain. This makes the British rulers not only Foreigners did not even have native British ancestry. The only exception was Cromwell... He was also the only British head of state who truly had British ancestry in the more than 900 years until King Charles III! But after his death, he was whipped and his body was in a different place for more than 300 years before he was able to rest in peace.
In addition, most of the real estate in England gradually fell into the hands of the Norman nobles and other foreign nobles after the Norman Conquest, and there was not much change until the era of Charles III.
From this perspective, the so-called Angsa people have actually been oppressed and enslaved in Britain for a long time.
Servant status...
After Emperor William exposed the cover of the United Kingdom, both Marquis Nelson and Earl Amherst had nothing to say.
Moreover, the two men also understood what Emperor William was thinking - the British had a precedent of cutting off the king's head and driving him away!
Therefore, Emperor William, who had already tasted the sweetness of power, did not feel comfortable leaving his fate to these British mobs. He had to bring an army truly loyal to him before he dared to return to London, which was loyal to him.
In this way, even if the British people no longer support him as the king of the United Kingdom. He could also rely on the force in his hands to return to India with dignity and continue to be his Emperor William.
As for the Marquis Nelson and the Earl Ame, they actually did not want Emperor William to lose his full power to rule India.
As Emperor William's cronies, the two of them also tasted what real power felt like.
The two exchanged glances, and then the Marquis of Nelson said to Emperor William: "Your Majesty, we will call the Duke of Wellington and ask him to approve you to personally lead 20,000 Indian troops to London to defend and participate in the battle of the British Empire!"
"Okay, that's it." Emperor William nodded, "Please tell the Duke of Wellington that if necessary, my army and I will fight on the soil of the United Kingdom. We will fight on the beaches, in the cities, and in the United Kingdom. Fight in the forests, on the hills, and everywhere else. Defend her from all enemies outside her borders by fighting off all who dare to attack her."
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor."
While the Marquess of Nelson and the Earl of Amherst agreed, they thought to themselves: "Isn't the Norman dynasty itself an enemy from outside the UK? And the various dynasties that inherited the legal system of the Norman dynasty are of course also enemies from outside the UK!"
Of course, the two of them could only keep this idea deep in their hearts.
After agreeing to Emperor William's request, the two quickly communicated with the Duke of Wellington via telegram.
Informed of the Emperor's intention to lead Indian troops in the defense of London. The Duke of Wellington approved without hesitation.
Because the Duke was eager to get the Emperor back to London...so that he could pass the blame for declaring war on the Ming Dynasty on Emperor William - in the event of defeat, he would not have to bear this responsibility.
So in June 1832, Emperor William, the Indian Emperor from Germany, who had been away from London for many years, finally led his Indian Asan Guards and sailed across the ocean on ships of the British Royal Navy and the Royal Indian Navy. Returned to the land of the United Kingdom.
On June 6, King William of the United Kingdom of India and King of Hanover, who returned to England, finally returned to St. James's Palace next to St. James's Park in central London amid the cheers of the people of London.
Furthermore, Emperor William announced to tens of thousands of cheering British people on the balcony of St. James's Palace that the British Empire would soon be in a state of all-out war with the Ming Empire in the East.
The British Parliament, which had long been angered by the Ming Empire's aggressive offensive, passed a resolution declaring war the day after Emperor William returned to St. James's Palace.
At this point, the relationship between the Ming Empire and the British Empire completely collapsed.
The two largest empires in the world are already in total war!
