Chapter 1209: The Fall of Ireland

The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into solidification. Queen Victoria stared at the Marquis of Army Minister Anglesey fiercely, her eyes full of hatred and anger. However, a hint of horror could be clearly seen in her eyes. The royal family at this moment was like a paper tiger, and could only pretend to be fierce, but in fact, they could only scare people by their appearance.

Facing the Marquis of Anglesey, the Minister of the Army who controls millions of troops, and the Earls of Stanley, the Prime Minister who controls the entire UK, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who controls the entire UK, they are completely at a disadvantage. Even if the British royal family has a great influence in the upper class, the cabinet that controls the government and the army is the real master of Britain. Once the Earls of Stanley and Marquis of Anglesey decide to take action against the royal family, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert will not be able to resist it.

"Marquis, is this your loyalty to the royal family? Is this your oath to God when you inherit the title?" Prince Albert said angrily. As a senior noble in the country, he would swear allegiance to the king when he inherits the title. Marquis Anglesey naturally also went through this procedure, but now he wants to threaten the queen, which is simply a rebellious thing!

"■↗No, Your Highness, I am not threatening the Queen. Everything I do is for the British Empire and for the benefit of the entire United Kingdom!" Marquis Angelsey raised his head and faced Prince Albert's gaze, without any intention of avoiding.

"Her Majesty, our actions are for the British Empire. With the British Empire, you are the noble queen. If there is no British Empire, then you will no longer be the noble queen. Please think carefully about it!" Earl Stanley also said.

"You..." Queen Victoria wanted to say something else. But she was stopped by Prince Albert.

"Two, Victoria and I know that you are thinking about the country. However, the wealth of the royal family is not only the queen, but all the royal members. We need time to convince other royal members!" Prince Albert chose to compromise. Compared with Queen Victoria, Prince Albert's political wisdom is much higher. He knew that this time, Earl Stanley and Marquis Anglesey had made up their minds. If the royal family did not cooperate and chose to fight, it would really break up with the cabinet. At this time, the royal family had no strength to fight with the cabinet. Millions of British troops were in the hands of the cabinet. If the cabinet was forced to force the cabinet and directly abolish the rule of Queen Victoria, they would be the real unlucky one.

Earl Stanley and Marquis Anglesey looked at each other and nodded at the same time. They also knew that they could not force the royal family to be cruel. After all, if the royal family was overthrown, it would not be a good thing for them. This would definitely cause turmoil in British society, and there would be many people loyal to the royal family. If the turmoil broke out in Britain, the only one who would be happy was the Chinese. If China could not be weakened, then God knows whether the Prussians would use this as an excuse to refuse to fulfill the secret agreement in the future?

"Well, Your Highness, Prince. We can give the royal family three days to consider. We hope that the royal family can reach an agreement with the cabinet. We all need to think about the interests of the British Empire, rather than just our own interests!" said Count Stanley.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is right. If anyone among the royal family members has objections, the cabinet and the army will provide support to the royal family!" said Marquis Angelsey, the Minister of Army.

Prince Albert nodded, still smiling. But the anger on Queen Victoria's face could not be concealed.

Queen Victoria's anger broke out again after Earl Stanley and Marquis Anglesey left Buckingham Palace.

"Dear, why do you compromise with them? I am the Queen of England and the supreme. They dare to threaten me, it is simply a rebellious!" Queen Victoria was so excited that her fat body trembled.

"No, my dear. Now is the war period. The cabinet controls the army and they control all their strength. We cannot confront them at this time. Besides, in recent years, there have been calls for the abolition of the royal family in China. Without the support of the cabinet, the royal family would have been abolished." Prince Albert shook his head.

"Do they really have the courage?" Queen Victoria was still a little confused.

"Dear, at this time, anything is possible. Therefore, we can only compromise and not irritate them!" said Prince Albert. He knew that if they offended the cabinet at this time, they might be in trouble.

"Then do we really want to hand over the wealth controlled by the royal family to the cabinet? Other members of the royal family will not agree." Queen Victoria said. At the same time, she was reluctant to let it go. The wealth accumulated by the royal family over hundreds of years is undoubtedly an astronomical figure. If it is given out in vain, it is simply unacceptable. What's more, Queen Victoria is originally a greedy person.

"Dear, for the sake of the throne, we can only choose to compromise. As for the opponents of the royal family, we can just hand them over to the cabinet to deal with. In this way, the remaining members of the royal family will be those who support us!" A cruel smile appeared on Prince Albert's face. There are also many ambitious people in the royal family who oppose Queen Victoria. In peacetime, the royal family took into account the influence and could not attack them. But now, they can use the cabinet to borrow a knife to kill people.

"Dear, you are such a genius!" Queen Victoria immediately became happy.

"But, do we really want to hand over all our wealth to the cabinet?" Queen Victoria was a little reluctant to let it go when she said this.

"Of course not! The cabinet doesn't know how much wealth we have. We only need to hand over half of the wealth to the cabinet, which is enough! The royal family needs to find another place to hide the remaining half and then use it to deal with other emergencies." Prince Albert said. The cabinet is not clear about how much wealth the royal family has. After all, the cabinet is a servant of the royal family and has no power to manage the royal family's private property, so it can only make rough inferences. However, this is too far from the wealth that the royal family actually has.

"Well, my dear. Then give them half of their wealth! However, Earl Stanley and Marquis Anglesey, they actually dared to threaten the royal family, which is unforgivable. We must find an opportunity to get rid of them!" A trace of anger flashed across Queen Victoria's face. Marquis Anglesey's threat was a shame to her.

"Okay, Victoria, I'll listen to you. But you can't do it now. You can't get through this crisis. Perhaps, there is no need for us to do it at that time. The angry people will tear them to pieces!" Prince Albert said with a smile.

After the defeat, Britain will definitely pay a heavy price. The people will live out of thin air. At that time, the people's anger will inevitably go towards the cabinet. The Stanley cabinet will definitely be overthrown by the people. The royal family can take the opportunity to seize more full strength. Once they are kicked off, both the Earl of Stanley and the Marquis of Anglesey will have a great decline. It will be much easier for the royal family to deal with them.

"Well!" Queen Victoria nodded. She was naturally not a fool to be the queen of England. However, she was often impulsive. But when Prince Albert said that, she understood. In real history, the reign of Queen Victoria was called the most glorious period in Britain. In fact, this is inseparable from Prince Albert's contribution. Many times, Queen Victoria was just a puppet. Prince Albert was the real highest decision-maker in Britain.

Subsequently, the British royal family used the cabinet and army to eradicate the opponents of the royal family. At the same time, they also delivered half of their wealth to the cabinet. These wealth, including more than 3,000 tons of gold and various gold, silver and jewelry, were worth an estimated billion pounds. The British royal family also had another half of their wealth. These wealth was scattered by them in various parts of the UK.

The British Cabinet naturally knew the small actions of the British royal family. However, they did not know how much wealth the royal family had reserved. In addition, this wealth worth one billion pounds had already made the cabinet very satisfied. Therefore, the royal family and the cabinet still lived in peace.

When the royal family and the cabinet secretly confronted each other, the Ireland seemed to have been forgotten. Hundreds of thousands of British troops led by British Army General Edward Blackney were still fighting fiercely with the Chinese Army on the Ireland Island. However, the British counterattack was like a trapped beast fighting.

On July 14, the vanguard of the 13th Army of the Imperial Army had already appeared outside Dublin. The Imperial Army then launched an attack on Dublin. General Edward Blackney led the British army to fight back. However, due to the Irish independence movement and the James Party, many British officers surrendered to the Chinese army, which made the British defense line full of loopholes.

In just two days, the 13th Army of the Imperial Army captured Dublin. Most of the British troops stationed in Dublin surrendered, and only a very small number were killed. The 14th Army of the Imperial Army also took the opportunity to occupy most of the Ireland Islands. The fall of the Ireland Islands is inevitable. (To be continued...)
