May 5, 1833, St. James's Palace, London.
Emperor William suddenly woke up from his sleep. His King's German Infantry went on a killing spree in St. James's Square, and his Gurkha mercenaries killed and set fire to London's industrial areas. The sight of unarmed or armed London citizens lying in pools of blood. After the English Civil War started, it flashed into his dreams again and again. Emperor William was originally a kind and kind man. Before he became the emperor of India, the only acts that could be called cruel were probably whipping slaves and having sex with female slaves. Of course, this was in countries and regions that still retained slavery... ..There seems to be something wrong with him?
And after he became the emperor of India, he still implemented some benevolent policies! For example, they spread public debt, increased taxes, greatly expanded the army, and sent a large number of Indian soldiers to Malaya and Australia to fight against the Ming Dynasty. All of them ended up with no return!
However, until the "St. James Square Incident", Emperor William was still a good emperor who was diligent and caring for the people, so he wanted to continue to retain the throne of the Emperor of India after giving up the throne of the United Kingdom... so that he could concentrate on giving The Indian people have become a benevolent king.
But such a benevolent king as he was, he was forever linked to such atrocities as the "Massacre in St. James's Palace Square" and the "Destruction of London's Industrial Area." In each of his nightmares, there would always be some unarmed London citizens, sometimes even women and children, covered in blood or burned, with faces facing him with painful expressions. Screams and questions: "Tyrant, why did you do this?"
Emperor William sat on the bed, breathing heavily, staring at the darkness in a daze. He is not a tyrant! He is obviously ready to give up the throne of the United Kingdom to Victoria, and also agrees to Victoria's marriage to King Zhu Xi of Minglu... He just wants to retain this long-term valuable asset of the Indian Empire! And this is in the long-term interests of the British Empire. Once India developed, it became a powerful and leading industrialized country with a population of 600 million, 800 million, or even 1 billion. Then the Ming Empire will meet its real opponent!
Perhaps in a few decades, two industrialized countries with a population of 1 billion will start a "Thucyrid Wars" in the East. At that point, the chance would come for the British Empire to be great again.
What a far-sighted plan this is! This is completely dedicated to Great Britain!
Although Emperor William was prepared to let his descendants inherit the Indian Empire and at the same time decouple the Indian Empire from the British Empire... he still felt that he was not motivated by selfishness, but entirely for the sake of the British Empire and her people.
But why can't this cunning man in the United Kingdom understand the painstaking efforts of his emperor? Why did they gather in St. James's Square to cause trouble? Why start a riot in an industrial area of London after the King's Regiment of German Infantry and the Royal Gurkha Guards killed just a few hundred untouchables? And they were still so tenacious after the riot. The Royal Gurkha Guards and the King's German Infantry Regiment attacked for more than a month, almost reducing the London industrial area to rubble, and they still persisted there! Not only are they still persisting, but they are still firing endlessly at St. James's Palace with a 6-inch cannon!
"Boom boom boom..."
The bombardment of the London Commune begins again!
The 6-inch shell roared across half of London, and then slammed into the surroundings of St. James's Palace, causing violent explosions. The loud noises and vibrations caused by the explosions passed through more than ten meters of soil and reached the In the bunker where Emperor William is located.
This fortress located beneath St. James's Palace was originally an underground warehouse for storing weapons and gunpowder - St. James's Palace was built in 1530 on the order of Henry VIII. That Henry VIII was a powerful monarch! Moreover, he was an enemy of the Holy See and brutally suppressed Catholics in the country. Therefore, you need to store a large amount of weapons and gunpowder in your palace in case of emergency.
Unexpectedly, the weapons and gunpowder in this warehouse were hidden until they were scrapped, and the warehouse itself was put to great use... It became a shelter for a desperate British king.
During this period, Emperor William was bombarded and had nightmares. It was almost impossible to sleep, and his whole body was inevitably haggard. His originally strong body had become a little thin, and the original shirt and uniform were worn on him. They were one or two sizes too big, and they looked like they were stolen.
Suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and the door was pushed open, and in came the commander of the Royal Guards, Charles Elliot. Although this guy was a navy man, he was "shame-conscious" and could be considered loyal to William IV. He was on his way back to London when the incident in St James's Square occurred. After learning the news, he did not flinch, but traveled through the stars and nights to return to his emperor.
Emperor William also had great trust in him. After he arrived in London, he immediately appointed him as the commander of the Royal Gurkha Guards and ordered him to unified command the various units attacking the London industrial area... It is a pity that Charles Justice Just because the law is loyal enough does not mean that he is capable enough. Before he took over the Royal Guards, the Gurkhas burned and killed while attacking. Although they destroyed a small half of the industrial area, they also caused huge civilian casualties. However, considerable progress was made, and the London Commune armed forces also suffered heavy losses. If the progress at that time had been followed, Emperor William would have controlled the entire London by now.
But Charlie Elliot felt that the Gurkhas had gone too far... After taking over the troops attacking the industrial area, he ordered the Gurkhas not to kill innocent people indiscriminately or to destroy wantonly. They also executed a group of Gurkha officers and soldiers for misbehaving, which greatly dampened the spirit of the Gurkha people. In addition, the Gurkha soldiers were exhausted from the continuous attacks, so the Gurkhas quickly began to "fish" and fight "foreign labor battles" on the battlefield, and even lost a lot of them due to the counterattack of the London Commune. turf.
Emperor William, who felt the difficulty of advancing the war, had to call back the King's German Infantry Regiment sent to attack Windsor Castle and let them attack the London industrial area... But at this time, the London Company also received support from France and England. Support from the Central Industrial Zone. There were also some British Army soldiers from the industrial areas of London who deserted and returned to London to join the Commune army, thus greatly increasing the strength of the Commune.
Therefore, the attack launched by the British King's German Infantry Regiment did not make much progress.
Just when the civil war in London was reaching a stalemate, a devastated Charles Elliot appeared in Emperor William's bedroom.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
When an oil lamp was brought into the underground bedroom by the emperor's Indian servant, the emperor saw Charles Elliot's panicked expression and asked in surprise: "What's the matter? What happened?"
Charlie Elliot said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, St. James's Palace is being bombed by planes... It is the Ming Dynasty's Feilong 2 carrier-based bombers that are dropping bombs! These planes also dropped leaflets saying that Queen Victoria was about to leave. Leading her army into London, she would pardon all the rebels who had taken part in the London Commune and... as well as the officers and men of the King's Regiment of German Infantry and the Gurkha Guards, if they would give up resistance.
In addition, these leaflets also stated that the Prussian army had completely occupied the Kingdom of Hanover! "
