Chapter 789： British nobility

"If there is no India and Canada, and only our British mainland is left, then, even if we hold the mainland and defeat the Germans, what can we have?"

In Liverpool, 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 it, if we only have the homeland, what will our British empire be like? The land is in decline, even worse than France now!"

Lord Montestuart has not entered the core of power. It can be said that if His Majesty the King had not come to Liverpool, then he would not have the opportunity to speak up here.

The Bout family did not have a long time in the UK, and they were not an English family, but a Scottish noble family that originated in Cardiff and was closely related to the Stuart dynasty.

As early as 1766, when the then Lord John of Montestuart arrived in Cardiff, he married a local noble daughter and obtained huge real estate interests and mining rights in southern Wales.

The real success is their grandson, who built the first dock in Cardiff. This bet allowed Cardiff's coal exports to flourish, and the Butt family made a lot of money.

Until the grandson's son John, the third marquis of the Bute family, became one of the richest people on earth at that time.

In other words, their family belongs to the rising aristocratic family. Although according to European law, it takes at least three generations and a hundred years to cultivate a nobleman. However, it takes hundreds of years and thousands of years of old age. For the nobles, they are still a new class of nobles.

The Marquis of Montestuart at this time was quite opposed to the betrayal of the colony: "Churchill, it is simply betraying the future of our country, so that even if we win this war, we will lose. Destroy the entire empire! Your Majesty, I propose that Prime Minister Churchill be removed from office immediately. He was sent by the Germans!"

Hearing what he said, many people present were embarrassed.

These all fled from London together. 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 without any shame is simply denying His Majesty the King!

At that time, Churchill was also talking about it in the same way, telling everyone that now, if you want to save the empire, you must give up something. Compared with the colony and the mainland, which one is more important?

This is a difficult multiple-choice question, and after weighing the pros and cons, most people think that if one has to choose, then it must be abandoning the colony. You can't give up the local area, right? This is the root of Britain.

Moreover, how can these old nobles leave the country where they live?

So, they agreed.

And now, in the eyes of the unknowing nobles, these behaviors are absolute traitors! The colony is gone, and the empire is gone. This choice is simply brain-dead behavior!

King George VI did not speak, he was not good at speech. Now, if he talks to this aggressive nobleman, he will definitely stutter. At the same time, his heart is also hesitating and hesitating.

At the beginning, I agreed with Churchill's suggestion. Was it right or wrong?

George VI's face is still very calm, but his heart is extremely turbulent.

"Yes, Churchill, we must step down immediately!" Another nobleman said: "He will sell us all of Britain!"

"Sorry, everyone, I'm late." Just then, a voice came from outside.

The chubby Churchill walked in. At this time, he rarely smoked. At this time, he changed into a wide windbreaker, a tall hat, and a civilization stick in his hand.

Churchill is also a nobleman. At this time, he is dressed as a gentleman and nobleman!

Although Churchill’s current prosperity depends on women, that’s because Churchill is not the heir of their Churchill family, just an inconspicuous little character.

On August 13, 1704, John Churchill, now the ancestor of Winston Churchill, led the British army and defeated the French army in a small village called Blenheim in Bavaria, Germany, and won a battle that determined the fate of Europe. Of the battle.

The Battle of Blenheim, the Battle of Clécy, the Battle of Waterloo, and the Battle of Amiens, was called the four famous battles in British history books.

It is conceivable how great the credit of Churchill’s ancestors was. In order to reward him for his outstanding achievements, Queen Anne decided to seal the royal territory in Woodstock to him and allocated 240,000 pounds from Parliament to build it for him. A huge palace, the palace was named "Blenheim Palace" after the place where the battle was won. The prominent family history of the Churchill family began.

And now, the humble Winston Churchill has become the prime minister of the United Kingdom, and the Churchill family has all honored him.

The current Churchill did not come with the identity of the prime minister, but as an aristocrat. His steps were heavy, his eyes were cold looking at the Marquis of Montestuart who opposed him.

"Mr. Marquis, I would like to ask, under the current circumstances, is there any better way for you? Would you tell us all present that surrendering to Germany will pay a smaller price and be more beneficial to us? Britain?" Churchill's words were equally cold.

Churchill certainly knows what the other party thinks!

Montestuart is an emerging nobleman They care more about their own interests. If Britain refuses to surrender, the final terrible result will be that the entire United Kingdom becomes like Poland.

Britain has become a historical term.

These nobles, will also decline.

However, if Britain surrendered, it would be different. These nobles can 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 coals and continue to work for the Germans. They can continue to live happily under the enslavement of the Germans just like the French now, and even be complacent about the increase in wages.

"Your Majesty, if we surrender to Germany, the nobles present can live as before, but with a new ruler on top of their heads, but what about you?" Churchill continued: "Now, our British Empire, It’s an independent country. You are the leader of our largest empire, which includes a population of 47 million in our country and a population of nearly 400 million in colonies! All 400 million people respect you as our king, but, If you surrender to Germany, what position should you be in?"
