March 17, 1833, London, outside St. James's Palace.
Emperor William was still riding his own Indian folding horse, staring blankly at the scene of corpses strewn on the ground and rivers of blood in front of him, his mind went blank.
Can it not be white?
Everyone is dead, how will this end? The last person to do this was probably Charles I, right? He later ended up in a different place. Could it be that he had to...
"Hi! William! Hi! William..."
When Emperor William was in a daze, he suddenly heard cheers with a German accent. He turned around following the sound and saw a mustachioed German military officer leading a group of German soldiers who had just cleared the area around St. James's Square to raise their hands in a military salute to him - this was a traditional Roman military salute, the German Confederacy. The predecessor of the country was the Holy Roman Empire. There was "Rome" in the country's name, and of course Roman military salutes were required. And this tradition of Roman military salutes also spread to the British King's German Infantry Regiment.
"Long live the Emperor...! Long live the Emperor...!"
The curry-flavored English cheers started again, as the Gurkha mercenaries cheered for their emperor. This group of murderous guys went on a killing spree in this morning's "battle". Looking at their happy expressions now, it was as if they had won a battle and had no idea how much trouble they had caused.
Emperor William, who thought of "getting into trouble" and felt that he was going to be doomed, sighed and asked someone next to him in a low voice: "The last person who went on such a killing spree in England must have been Charles I, right?"
"No, he didn't do that." The person who answered this question was Harker, the King's Chief Secretary. This top civil servant was now standing next to the emperor's broken horse. He replied in a very respectful tone, "Actually, the last one It was Cromwell who treated the English so cruelly!"
"Cromwell?" Emperor William was stunned and looked back at Huck, "Huck, the Cromwell you are talking about is the Oliver Cromwell who was whipped and beheaded after his death?"
"Yes, that's him!" Huck said. "In fact, he was a quite cruel ruler. Massacring the cities that resisted and confiscating large amounts of land to distribute to the soldiers who followed him were just his routine operations... .. It was not just Charles I who was beheaded by him! He even suppressed the opposition in London, and even the Parliament was dispersed by him! And he also redivided England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales into 11 Districts, each district dispatches a military governor to implement military control. Everyone must abide by the Puritan regulations he formulated and prohibit all recreational activities!"
"What a madman..." Emperor William asked, "Was he whipped and beheaded after doing these immoral things?"
Huck smiled and said: "That's right... But if he doesn't do this, then he will have to be beheaded alive! It's better to be beheaded after death than to be beheaded while alive, right? At least It doesn’t hurt that much..."
Emperor William touched his neck and said in his heart: "This neck...I'm afraid I'm going to get an ax sooner or later! But whether I'm going to get an ax alive or dead, I can still work hard now!"
Thinking of this, Emperor William became very proud. He also gave a Roman military salute to the German soldiers and Gurkha mercenaries below, and shouted loudly: "Long live the United Kingdom! The Indian Empire... ...Long live!"
After shouting, he galloped on his horse and led a group of Sikh mercenaries to St. James Palace.
...
"Long live the Republic of England!"
"Down with the Emperor! Long live the free Republic of England!"
"Hang the tyrant..."
As expected, another accident occurred at the Vickers Arsenal. The arsenal workers who had just received the weapons did not shout "Long Live the Queen", but suddenly shouted the slogan "Long Live the Republic"!
This is actually a normal reaction - this is 1833, not 1733 or 1633. Now is the era of turbulent revolution in Europe, and France next door has achieved a second republic! The German Republic and the Italian Republic seem to be close at hand, and even the Rakshasa Kingdom, which has always been conservative and backward, is now
The republic was being fought, which made Nicholas I very anxious.
The war between the British Empire and the Ming Dynasty is about to be defeated, Australia seems to be lost, the Strait of Malacca is gone, and on the American side... the Ming army has also entered the western part of the Oregon colony.
This is really a loss of troops, loss of territory and humiliation of the country!
Under these circumstances, the working class in London had long expected revolution. And this revolution... of course is a republican revolution! Otherwise, what kind of fate would you change? Transform Emperor William into Queen Victoria? This life revolution is meaningless. Co-authored Before the revolution, it was the United Kingdom, and after the victory of the revolution, it was still the United Kingdom. So what is the difference between revolution and non-revolution?
Therefore, the revolution that the London workers thought was to transform the United Kingdom into the Republic of England.
And after the fighting started at St. James's Palace, the British trade unions fired guns at everyone in the name of the London Commune... It was the trade unions and the Commune again, and they also fired guns at the emperor. What do you think? What else could it be but a republican revolution?
Therefore, before Robert Owen had time to announce the goals of this revolution, in the main square of Vickers Arsenal, the workers who had just received their new Bess rifles, bullets and pound banknotes shouted "Long live the Republic of England" .
This time, Robert Owen, who was standing on the roof of a carriage and was about to give a speech, calling on everyone to support Queen Victoria, was put up - he was Robert Owen, not Oliver Cromwell. Overthrowing the Hanoverian dynasty and establishing an English republic was not part of his plan.
And he knew very well that the Republic of England must have a strong man like Cromwell to maintain it, otherwise the country would inevitably disintegrate...either into three independent republics, or the republic would collapse and the monarchy would be restored.
Because the reason why the United Kingdom can be "unified" is based on the "shared monarch". And the Republic...is for the people! How could the English Protestants dominate the Irish, the Scots, and the Catholics of England, if not maintained by violence by strongmen?
What’s even more troublesome is, how could the French Republic on the mainland give up this opportunity to dismantle Britain’s mortal enemy?
If the United Kingdom becomes three independent countries: England, Scotland, and Ireland, then France only needs to obtain the power to garrison troops in Scotland, and the United Kingdom will no longer be a troublemaker in Europe...it will no longer be a troublemaker. With the qualifications of a stick, why should Ming give the English a good meal?
So the Republic of England is a complete disaster for the English!
Just when Robert Owen didn't know what to do, Nathan Rothschild suddenly jumped on the carriage, grabbed the arm of Robert Owen, whom he hated most, raised it high, and shouted loudly: "Long live the Republic of England!" Down with the Emperor! Long live the free Republic of England!"
Robert Owen was shocked by the performance of Nathan Rothschild - the largest capitalist in the UK and a businesswoman who used all means to seize wealth, Nathan Rothschild was actually a republican... This hidden secret was terrible. Too deep!
Just when he was surprised, Nathan Rothschild was already whispering in his ear: "Robert... there is no way out, the emperor's army is coming towards the Vickers Factory! And leave The roads in London are blocked by damned Krauts... If we can't mobilize the workers, we'll all die!"
