Chapter 1359: Empress Victoria and Dreams
The sky was gray, it was frighteningly cold, and it was still snowing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Victoria, however, found herself walking barefoot on the snow, and wore very few clothes, as if she were only a white robe, and there was nothing in it!
How can an empress go out dressed like this? When she thought of this, someone suddenly shouted in her ear: "It's here!" ”
Where has it been? The Empress looked up and saw a huge wooden pier, and next to the wooden pier stood a nasty guy wearing a black robe and a black mask with two eyes exposed, and this guy was holding an axe in his hand!
My God! Is this the executioner? And ...... for yourself Is it someone who is going to be beheaded? The empress gasped, her eyes turned, and she suddenly saw a throne, and there was a tall and handsome oriental man sitting on it, who was it not Zhu Jishi?
"Jason, what do you want to do?" Queen Victoria asked aloud, "Are you going to kill me?" How can you do that? ”
"Victoria, don't you deserve to be beheaded? The good British Empire has been tossed and collapsed by you, and the American Empire has also been lost in your hands, shouldn't a mediocre king like you be cut off his head? Zhu Jishi said righteously and strictly.
Victoria cried, "Don't, don't do that...... Please, don't kill me. We're still relatives! Helena, what about Helena? ”
Then Helena appeared, dressed in a white court dress, draped in a red cloak, and wearing a crown...... Victoria recognized it at a glance as the crown she often wore.
"Mom, I have inherited the throne of England, and the United Kingdom will be ruled by me and Robin in the future. You can go to God with peace of mind. ”
Two thick and powerful arms suddenly grabbed Victoria. As if to pull her to behead. Victoria shouted in despair, "No. No, don't kill me! Jason, let them stop, I'll give you whatever you want, don't let them cut off my head, I don't want to die......"
And then...... Then the Empress noticed that someone was pulling her ears!
"Wake up, Victoria! Wake up...... "This is Prince Albert's voice. Empress Victoria snapped open her eyes and saw her husband's bald head. She hurriedly looked around. This is her bedroom in Fort Victoria, Toronto, and it's clear that she's just had a nightmare, and her head is still very safe.
"Thank God it was a dream!" The Empress wiped her tears and sighed softly.
"Victoria, you're having nightmares again?" Albert asked with concern. The Empress has always had nightmares these days, every day after the US Army's Missouri River defense line was breached by the Chinese army, as if the Chinese had fought outside Toronto.
"It was a terrible dream, I was caught by Jason...... He's going to cut off my head! He's a scoundrel! It's so bad in a dream, how can he be like this. How could he have someone cut off my head......"
Albert smiled bitterly and shook his head, Zhu Jishi would definitely not harm Victoria if he really wanted to catch it...... And that's not the case. The whole of Europe will not watch Britain completely crushed by China, not even Mathilde wants to see this day.
"It's okay, it's just a minor setback, and it's not necessarily a bad thing for us." Albert comforted his wife. "It is the Americans who have lost now, and after this battle of the Missouri River, they should have recognized the situation, and the United States can only survive if it is completely integrated with Great Britain."
"Dear Albert, shall we make peace with Jason?" Victoria looked at her husband, "Don't fight anymore...... War is terrible! In just three months, the Americans have lost a million people! If you fight like this, you will die! Why don't you let Helena be the queen of Australia? ”
Albert stretched out his arm, wrapped Victoria around his chest, and whispered comfortingly, "Honey, things haven't come to this yet...... The victory at sea has not yet been decided, and our Empress of India has been outfitted in advance, this is a 14,000-ton giant ship! The Chinese do not have a single capital ship to compare with it! And the United States is still able to resist, they need our support now, and this is our opportunity. As long as you can get all the United States east of the Mississippi River, even if you give up Australia, you won't lose money! ”
"Really?" Victoria looked at her husband.
"Of course!" The Prince nodded affirmatively, "Australia is just a place of exile for criminals, and it has no other advantages than a larger area. There is nothing to give to Helena, and North America can be divided equally with Chinese...... However, Malacca must not be given out, because India and the Cape Colony, the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State must also be saved! ”
Prince Albert said that he had planned to defeat the Chinese by desperate efforts. Now this battle of the Missouri River is even more convinced of his idea, war is not a simple math problem, it is an art, and this American prime minister does not understand it at all! And Zhu Jishi was so lucky that he actually gave birth to a military genius like Juan. Therefore, it is no longer possible to win this war, but only to seek a draw.
It would not be too much of a loss for Britain to reintegrate the eastern part of the United States into the empire and establish a new British Empire in North America, including the United States and eastern Canada, while keeping India and southern Africa, where huge gold reserves had just been discovered. Even if Britain lost its crown as the world's leading power after the war, an alliance with France would be enough to counter further Chinese expansion.
"But will the British support us?" Empress Victoria was a little skeptical, "In the end, don't the British catch me and behead me, right?" ”
The empress was now worried about her head, dreaming that Zhu Jishi was going to cut off her head when she was asleep, and when she was awake, she worried that the Americans or the British were not satisfied with her rule.
"The British people will understand that what we are doing now is for them and their children and grandchildren." Prince Albert sighed, "If the center of gravity of the empire cannot be moved to North America, the British Empire will definitely weaken soon, in fact, the current weakness of Britain is related to the fact that the mainland is too small." So we need a vast new homeland, like the native of the Chinese. ”
That's the truth, but can the British really understand? Empress Victoria was very skeptical. But there is really nothing to be done about it at this point, so I can only continue to go on with it.
"Dear Albert, Tomorrow Henry. Bush is coming, what are we going to do with him? ”
"Of course, it's about reorganizing the army...... Mixed the Army of the American Empire with the British Army. Prince Albert said, "As long as the British and American armies are combined, the following things will be done." ”
Victoria nodded, "So are we going to start peace talks with Jason?" Maybe through Helena...... She has a good relationship with Robin (Zhu Guojie), and Robin is Jason's eldest son, so his words must have a lot of weight. ”
Prince Albert shook his head slowly: "No, now is not the time, this war has just begun, and the navy of the British Empire has not yet wielded its might." Until then, there is no need for us to negotiate with Jason, everything will wait for the outcome of the naval battle. ”
"Can you be sure of a naval battle?" Empress Victoria seemed less confident.
Prince Albert nodded heavily, "No problem!" The navy of the British Empire is the most powerful in the world, and it will win! ”
Empress Victoria, seemingly inspired by her husband's faith, finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, she didn't know that in fact, Prince Albert was not 100% sure, after all, the battlefield of the Sino-British naval battle was too far away from the British mainland. However, he is very confident in one thing, that is, Zhu Jishi did not completely destroy the idea of the British Empire, because that would mean that the French would become the leaders of the entire white world, and a united white world would certainly not be what Zhu Jishi wanted to see. Therefore, this Chinese majesty will definitely do everything possible to keep the white world as more than two great powers, and the only one who can compete with France in the white world is the British Empire!
