When Ernst August was deeply offended, Somerset, the Duke of Wellington's niece and confidant, had already led several Royal Guardsmen wearing bearskin hats and carrying pistols at their waists. Walked in. He also walked up to the Duke of Wellington and reported in a low voice: "Duke, the Duke of Cumberland only brought a small number of cavalry, and they were all left outside Windsor Castle."
Although his voice was very soft, Ernst August still heard it and was immediately frightened to the point where his hair stood on end.
The Duke of Cumberland quickly stared at the Duke of Wellington with one eye, "Duke Wellington, what do you want to do?"
The Duke of Wellington smiled and said: "Duke of Cumberland, don't you understand what I want to do? William should be the king of the United Kingdom first, and then the emperor of India. Instead of the emperor of India first, the king of the United Kingdom should be first." After... And the United Kingdom must not be without India! This is not just my personal opinion, and not just the opinion of everyone who appears in this hall today, but the opinion of 20 million British people! The Duke ,What do you think?"

"Me?" Ernst August glanced at his niece, and then said word by word, "I am a German, and I am the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Hanover in the German Customs Union... .To the United Kingdom, I am a foreigner!"
"What about the troops you brought from Germany?" asked the Duke of Wellington.
Ernst August said: "William is the king of Hanover...and the British King's German Infantry Regiment is theoretically loyal to the British King, so I can only let some of the teams remain neutral."
.......
London, St. James's Palace.
Emperor William was not unaware of the deep feelings that England's powerful men and capitalists had for India. In fact, he did not really intend to deprive them of their interests in India... The upper echelons of the Indian Empire in the future will still come from England. master!
And his purpose of transforming India into a unified, powerful, and advanced empire was not only to leave a large family fortune for his descendants, but also to create an empire that could resist the Ming Empire. A strong country!
In the view of Emperor William, the British mainland, which only has a territory of 310,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 20 million, cannot support a large empire that can resist the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why Britain lost this war was because the mainland was too small and the local population was too small to carry the chariots of the entire empire on which the sun never sets. In comparison, the area and population of the Ming Dynasty were much larger. Dozens of times more than in the UK!
Therefore, the British Empire on the battlefield is a huge but severely underpowered tank, and it is not very strong. The Daming is a smaller, more powerful and stronger tank than the Great Britain.
When these two tanks are not colliding, they both look very powerful, and even the British Empire is more powerful - after all, Britain has a larger territory, and it also has the illustrious martial arts of Emperor Napoleon who led European countries during the war. The Ming Dynasty has never really fought a war since the death of King Zhuge Wuzhong... and has almost zero actual combat experience.
But when the collision really happened, the problem of "insufficient power" in the British Empire was immediately obvious - with a population of more than 20 million, it really couldn't move it! Even if the working class in England is too busy to keep their feet on the ground, you can't defeat the Ming Dynasty... The Ming Dynasty has a population base of 400 million, and its industrial scale is several times that of the UK! Moreover, it can also quickly increase production capacity. If necessary, it is possible to achieve 10 times or 20 times the production capacity of the UK.
In addition, a population of 400 million can also provide more troops... If necessary, expanding the army by 20 million will only mobilize 5%, which will not affect industrial production too much. If Britain reaches this number, it will be men, women, old and young all joining the battle! But who will maintain industrial production then?
Therefore, Emperor William now understands that in order for the British Empire to be able to exert its full power, it must have a large and strong core!
And this core cannot be Britain, it can only be... the United States or India!
Wherever you are, if you are big, your upper limit will be big, and you will be able to become an "imperial master" like the Ming Dynasty. So to maintain the Anglo-Saxon world empire, imperial power had to be transferred between the United Kingdom and the United States and India.
Of course, the United States seems more suitable than India as the new core of the Anglo-Saxon world empire. After all, she is originally an Anglo-Saxon country. In addition, the United States is an emerging country with vast and fertile land and unlimited possibilities in the future...
But Emperor William cannot be the Emperor of the United States!
If imperial power is transferred to the United States, William and his descendants will have no place to be emperor.
So India is William's only option...but it is not easy to achieve this goal!
On the one hand, the powerful people in England may not agree with the transfer of power within the Anglo-Saxon world empire, and most of them also look down on the Indian Asan... Perhaps the "pro-rebellious son" of the United States is what they like better !
On the one hand, the Ming Empire is not stupid. They also know that the core of the United Kingdom is relatively weak, so they will do everything possible to prevent the transfer of power within the Anglo-Saxon world empire... So Emperor William Your Majesty must still fight with Daming for a while longer until Daming really feels tired.
And since the performance of the Indian army on the battlefield is a bit unsatisfactory, the United Kingdom's own life may be consumed by continuing to fight... In other words, the United Kingdom must sacrifice itself to achieve the future of the Indian Empire!
Will the fussy English agree? They are not willing to give the Irish a good meal, but are they willing to let the Indian Asan live a human life?
"We don't agree!"
"We object!
"We firmly refuse to agree..."
"King, come out quickly!"
When Emperor William was pondering British public opinion, a loud and noisy sound suddenly came to his ears!
He immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly stood up from behind his desk, walked quickly to a window with a view of the street, and stretched his stubby neck to look out. At first glance, I took a breath of cold air.
I only saw a large number of people gathering on the street outside St. James Palace. I don’t know when a large number of people began to gather. Emperor William quickly turned around and went to his desk, tremblingly took out a monocular telescope, then ran to the window, opened the telescope and started watching. I saw people dressed as if they were from all walks of life. Some were waving their fists, while others were holding banners with something written on them. Everyone looked very angry...and people were coming over one after another, more and more!
"Huck!"
Emperor William suddenly shouted.
Upon hearing this, his chief secretary Huck walked in quickly and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"
"Outside, outside..." Emperor William raised his hand and pointed out the window, "What is happening outside? Are they... are they wanting a revolution?"
Now is the time when revolutions are common in Europe. France, Belgium, Poland, German states, Austria, Italian states, etc. are all somewhat revolutionary, and it is not surprising that it is Britain's turn.
"No, it's not a revolution," Huck replies, "it's just a rebellion!"
