Chapter 337: The Royal Family Escape (Central)

While everyone was shocked, the guards came to report: "The Marquis of Home Secretary Williams arrived."

"Prime Minister, everyone, sorry, I'm late." Marquis Williams apologized to everyone.

Liverpool frowned in displeasure: "Why is the Marquis here now? Today's meeting is very important." No wonder he didn't show Victorias a good look. When he was running for Prime Minister, Victorias was his most powerful contender and also received support from the royal family. Although he eventually defeated Victorias with a very small advantage and became Prime Minister, Victorias also became the Minister of Home Affairs with the support of the royal family and often opposed him.

"Your Excellency, I was not intentionally late. Just now, His Majesty the King came to me to learn from me why our army failed repeatedly in the war." Williams said proudly.

Liverpool has nothing to say now. Although the British King has been undermined, as the nominal head of state of the entire country, no one dares to say that he is wrong. Since Victoria was late because of the king's summoning, there is no reason for others to blame him.

"By the way, His Majesty the King summoned the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and the Ministers of various ministries at the Palace of Westminster, and hope everyone will go there as soon as possible." Williams paused for a moment and said.

Everyone was stunned when they heard that the king was going to summon him, but Liverpool immediately reacted: "His Excellency Williams, please tell the king that we will go immediately."

Williams nodded and left.

When Liverpool brought the ministers of the cabinet to Westminster Palace, it was already 10:30 in the morning. In the palace hall, King George IV wore a crown and sat upright on the hall. Next to him was Secretary of the Interior Williams.

"See Your Majesty!" Liverpool and his cabinet gave the lord and ministerial ceremony to George IV, and George IV also gave them seats. After everyone sat down, George IV asked: "My Excellency Liverpool, I want to know what the front line is now? Can my army defeat the abominable French?"

"This? His Majesty the King. Military affairs are all under the responsibility of the Army Minister, His Excellency Hammurabi. I think it would be better for him to introduce it to you." Liverpool immediately pulled Hammurabi out as a shield.

Hamurabi scolded Liverpool to death in his heart, but Liverpool was his immediate boss at least. He had no choice but to stand up and prepare to welcome His Majesty the King's anger. "Your Majesty, the war now is very unfavorable to us. So far, we have lost more than 200,000 troops. In the whole of England, there are only about 280,000 soldiers who can fight again, and they are still in a state of chaos in organization, low morale, insufficient weapons, ammunition and supplies. Our enemies now have 150,000 well-equipped, well-trained, high morale, sufficient ammunition and supplies in England. And there is still a legion preparing to land in our country." Hamurabi whispered.

"How could this happen? I know that when the war first started, more than 500,000 troops were gathered in England, but now there are only 280,000 left, and the French army has only lost 50,000!" George IV said in shock.

Liverpool's move to abandon the car was beyond the expectations of Williams and George IV. However, since Liverpool had taken the initiative to hand over the military power, they had to stop. It was impossible to use this matter to force Liverpool to resign as prime minister. "Okay, since your Excellency Liverpool has taken the initiative to hand over the military power, from now on, the British Empire's army will be fully commanded by His Excellency Hamurabi. Do you have any opinions?" George IV asked.

Everyone expressed no objection, and now they have understood what happened. Although the people from the Liverpool group are very unwilling to accept it, Liverpool's military power is no longer a matter of being cut off, so they have to make a decision.

"His Excellency Hanmurabi, you are now the commander of the entire British Empire. I want to know if you have any way to restore the decline on the battlefield?" George IV asked.

Hamurabbi said: "Now our army is in chaos. I think what we should do immediately is to reorganize the entire army, so that the army can form combat effectiveness. At present, the French offensive has stopped, probably because of the logistics supply and the need for rest. In addition, the 1st French Army Corps is preparing to land. I think we should have 4 to 6 days to reorganize the troops. After that, the center of the attack of several French troops is obviously London, and I will lead the entire army to fight the French in London. I think that with the support of the troops, the environment and the people, we still have a great possibility to defeat the French. After defeating the French attack on London, we can launch a full-scale counterattack and finally drive the French out of Britain."

Most people disdained the flamboyance of Hammurabi. Faced with the French army, the British army had only a slight advantage in military strength, but the combat effectiveness of the French army was several times that of the British army. Otherwise, they would not have defeated nearly 500,000 British troops with an army of 200,000. But George IV and Victoria were very excited when they heard it, as if victory was right in front of them.

"Okay, very good! Your Excellency Hamurabi, let's do as you said. I think each department will definitely give you the greatest support. I believe you will definitely win the final victory." George IV said excitedly.

"Don't worry, your majesty. I will definitely win." Hamurabi also said confidently. However, where his confidence came from, perhaps he didn't even know.

"Your Majesty, I have another question. I hope you can agree?" Hamurabi said after thinking for a while.

"Oh? You have something else to say." George IV asked with a smile.
