Chapter 791 British Nobles
"If there is no India and Canada, and only our homeland is left, then even if we defend our homeland and defeat the Germans, what else can we have?"
Liverpool, in a temporary palace, a debate is going on fiercely. At this time, the person who is talking and talking is the head of the famous Bute family, the Marquis of Montestuart.
At this time, the expression on his face was extremely angry: "This kind of behavior is simply betraying our country! Have you ever thought about what our British Empire would be like if we only had our own homeland? The land will decline, even worse than the present France!"
Lord Montestuart didn't get into the heart of power, so to speak, if His Majesty the King hadn't come to Liverpool, he wouldn't have had a chance to speak up here.
The Bout family has not been in the UK for a long time, and they are not an English family, but a Scottish aristocratic family that originated in Cardiff and is closely related to the Stuart Dynasty.
As early as 1766, after arriving in Cardiff, the then Lord of Montestuart, John, married a local noble daughter, and obtained huge real estate interests and mining rights in the south of Wales.
The real fortune was that their grandson built the first dock in Cardiff. The bet has allowed Cardiff's coal exports to flourish and the Bout family to make a fortune.
Until the grandson's son John, the third marquis of the Boot family, became one of the richest men on earth at the time.
That is to say, their family belongs to the aristocratic family. Although according to European rules, it takes at least three generations and a hundred years to cultivate an aristocrat. For the aristocracy, they are still a new aristocratic class.
At this time, the Marquis of Montestuart was quite opposed to the betrayal of the colonies: "Churchill, you are selling the future of our country, so that even if we win this war, we will lose. The entire empire! Your Majesty, I propose that Prime Minister Churchill be dismissed immediately, he was sent by the Germans!"
Hearing his words, many people present were embarrassed.
These, they fled together from London. At the beginning, they all participated in the meeting of the House of Lords. These agreements on the transfer of colonies were approved by His Majesty the King.
Now, to say that these plans are wrong is to deny His Majesty the King!
At that time, Churchill was also eloquent, telling everyone that now, if you want to save the empire, you must give up something. Compared with the colony and the homeland, which one is more important?
This is a difficult multiple-choice question, and after weighing the pros and cons, most people feel that if they have to choose, they must give up the colony, but they can't give up the mainland, right? This is the foundation of Britain.
Moreover, how can these old nobles leave the country where they live?
So, at the time they agreed.
And now, in the eyes of the unknowing nobles, these actions are absolute treason! If the colony is gone, the empire will also be gone. This kind of choice is simply brain-damaged behavior!
King George VI didn't speak. He was not good at words. Now, if he talks to this aggressive nobleman, he will definitely stutter. At the same time, his heart is also hesitant and hesitant.
At first, I agreed with Churchill's suggestion, right or wrong?
George VI's face was still very calm, but his heart was extremely turbulent.
"Yes, Churchill, you must step down immediately!" Another nobleman said: "He will sell us all of England!"
"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm late." At this moment, a voice came from outside.
The fat Churchill came in. At this time, he rarely smoked. At this time, he changed into a wide trench coat, a high hat, and a civilized stick in his hand.
Churchill is also an aristocrat. At this time, he is dressed like a gentleman and aristocrat!
Although Churchill's fortune now depends on women, that is because Churchill is not the heir of their Churchill family, just an inconspicuous little character.
On August 13, 1704, John Churchill, the ancestor of what is now Winston Churchill, led the British army to defeat the French army in a small village called Blenheim in Bavaria, Germany, and won a battle to decide the fate of Europe. 's battle.
The Battle of Blenheim, together with the Battle of Claisey, the Battle of Waterloo and the Battle of Amiens, is called the four famous battles in British history books.
It is conceivable that Churchill's ancestors have made great contributions. In order to reward him for his outstanding achievements, Queen Anne decided to give him the royal domain in Woodstock and allocated 240,000 pounds from Parliament to build it for him. A huge palace, the palace was named "Blenheim Palace" after the victory of the battle. Thus began the illustrious family history of the Churchill family.
And now, the humble Winston Churchill has become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and the Churchill family is proud of him.
The current Churchill came not as a prime minister, but as a nobleman. He walked heavily and looked at the Marquis of Montestuart, who opposed him, with cold eyes.
"Mr. Marquis, I would like to ask, under the current circumstances, is there any better way for you? Will you tell all of us present that surrendering Germany will cost less and be more beneficial to us. England?" Churchill's words were equally cold.
Churchill certainly knew what the other party thought!
Montestuart was a new generation of nobles, and they cared more about their own interests. If Britain refused to surrender, the final terrible result would be that the whole of Britain would become the same as Poland is now.
Great Britain became a historical term.
These nobles will also decline.
However, if Britain surrendered, it would be different. These nobles could continue to enjoy their privileges, continue to live leisurely, and continue to obtain various vested interests.
For example, the Montestuart family can continue to mine coal and continue to work for the Germans, they can continue to live happily under the slavery of the Germans like the French now, and even be complacent about the increase in wages.
"Your Majesty, if we surrender Germany, the nobles present can live as before, just with a new ruler on top of their heads, but what about you?" Churchill continued: "Now, our British Empire, An independent country, you are the leader of our largest empire of 47 million people including the native population, including nearly 400 million people in colonies! All 400 million people respect you as our king, but, What position would you be in if you surrendered Germany?"
