Chapter 320 The British Empire needs a fairy tale (Third update, please subscribe)
The rare sunshine in winter shines into the room through the window.
Although there is sunlight, the room is still groggy. London is always like this in winter, even when there is no fog, the sun is dim.
This is London!
Miller stood up from the sofa in a hurry and smiled when he heard the cuckoo chirping on the Bavarian alarm clock - this was his only connection with the past, as a chief As a gift, he took it out of Germany as early as 1937. During the years he lurked in England, this cuckoo was his only connection with the past.
To this day, he still remembers the scene of shaking hands with his comrades when he left Germany in 1937.
But, everything is over!
Now, the Third Reich is dead!
He often feels nervous about this, because there must be files on him within the empire.
It is a feeling of being unprotected.
In fact, he often waited for some uniformed men to arrive and arrest him for espionage.
Although the Third Reich has been destroyed, he was once a spy of the Third Reich.
This made Miller a little nervous. When he lay down to sleep, he would hide his pistol and grenades under his pillow, but even so, he still couldn't fall asleep. He would sometimes listen carefully to the roar of cars passing by in the distance, and if something was wrong, he would leave immediately.
Until one day, a man came to the door.
"Henric,"
The man walked up to him and said a name that he had long forgotten. For a moment, he even wanted to kill the other person until he revealed his identity.
“Do you know what is the greatest tragedy in life? It is that after the death of the country we once served loyally, we will not only be hunted by the enemy, but even our own country... is also hunting us,”
This is the biggest dilemma of the Third Reich’s overseas intelligence personnel, they are homeless!
“Yes,”
Miller sighed helplessly,
"For us now, this may be the tragedy of life."
"Amid the tragedy, there is still a glimmer of hope. When the doors all over the world are closed, there is still a window open for us. Well, we now have a new place of refuge!”
The person handed him an envelope.
"Here is 500 pounds. From now on, you can work again, my friend."
There is an octopus in the shape of a skull on the envelope,
What's this?
......
"Hydra!"
Thinking of this name, Miller, who put down the newspaper, stood up from the sofa with some difficulty and said to himself.
"Okay, today is..."
Then he went out into the street.
In London in November, the weather seemed a bit cold. Miller, wearing a coat, walked towards the bus stop as before. There was a newsstand near the bus stop. As a reporter, he looked at the newspaper. I glanced at the magazine, and just then the newspaper seller shouted loudly.
“The shocking secret—Princess Margaret is married and has a son.”
“Cinderella? No, Your Highness!”
“Look Shocking love...the shocking reversal of the king and the nurse!"
Princess Margaret is married!
The news spread throughout the UK like lightning. Almost everyone was talking about the news, but they were talking more about the ever-reversing love story - the king fell in love with When this contemporary Cinderella fairy tale was staged, there was a new twist - Cinderella was actually a princess, Princess Margaret of the British Empire.
For the British who are in the midst of a shortage of materials, the more they need fairy tales at this time, the more they long for beautiful things.
Almost everyone was impressed by Princess Margaret's fairy tale love story, so much so that when the newspaper mentioned that "the marriage of the princess during her amnesia may not be supported by the cabinet", many British women came to Go to the palace and use your actions to express your support for the princess' love.
Every woman loves to dream about Cinderella. Now that the fairy tale of Cinderella and the prince and princess is vividly displayed in front of them, how can they not yearn for it?
...
No matter how turbulent the outside world is, for Margaret, who has just returned to Buckingham Palace, all she needs to face is... her father's pampering. Even the moment she saw her father, Tears flowed out. Margaret confessed directly that she had never lost her memory, she was just afraid and didn't know how to face her father. After all, she was pregnant at the time.
Not only was her confession not blamed, but it made George VI even more heartbroken about his lost daughter. Even though several days had passed, he was still a little worried about it.
"Margaret, you have to know that I love you. No matter what decision you make, you will always be my child. No one can change this. I will I will always support you and be on your side.”
Looking at the daughter in front of him with doting eyes, Margaret will always be his favorite child in George VI’s heart. Even if she is a little rebellious and even brings these troubles, so what?
None of this can overpower his doting on his daughter! As a king, this is the only thing he can give his little daughter.
"I know, I know, but... I really don't want to cause trouble to you and the royal family. After all, there is also the cabinet, and I don't want to cause those troubles because of me,"
Facing her father, Margaret knew that now she only needed to be a good daughter, and her father would help her solve everything else. Of course, there is also my beloved husband, who will also come forward to solve all problems.
“Do you really love him?”
Again, George VI asked.
"I love him."
The daughter's firm reply made George VI sigh. He knew...the daughter did love him, and was even willing to give up everything she had for him. !
Thinking of this, George felt heartbroken and even became jealous of the son-in-law he had never met before. His daughter was coaxed away by that boy!
“So, would you rather be Lily Marlene? Instead of a princess, right?”
"Dad, I, I..."
Seeing his daughter's trembling look, George VI said.
“Well, my daughter, now that you are home, I can tell you that everything you are worried about does not exist. Whether it is the cabinet or the church, they...the cabinet...will Go solve these problems!”
As a father, George VI knew that all he needed to do now was to support his daughter. Just like in the past, he gave the throne to his eldest daughter, and his younger daughter... Just be happy if you need it!
Nothing is more important than her happiness!
…
“There is nothing better than love! Public opinion is very unfavorable to us, Mr Prime Minister, after learning that the Cabinet refused to support this marriage.”
Downing Street, listen Reading the secretary's report, Attlee frowned.
“I have never objected to Her Royal Highness the Princess’s marriage at all. I just said that “this kind of marriage is ‘unthinkable’ and goes against royal and Christian traditions!” ”
I just refuse to support. Not supporting does not mean I am opposed!
Damn newspapers, they slandered me!
"It is indeed unimaginable. We never thought that one day, a princess of the British Empire would marry an Asian, even if he is a king."
The secretary was helpless He said with a shrug of his shoulders.
“However, there is nothing more beautiful than love, especially under the current rationing system of material poverty. Women need to have that kind of Cinderella dream to anesthetize themselves. Now the vast majority of women support it. Her Royal Highness the Princess believes that the Cabinet should support this marriage! Many people even believe that the Cabinet does not support the Princess’s marriage, which just shows that the Labor Cabinet is still stuck in the old ideas of the last century.”
As Prime Minister. The secretary looked at the Prime Minister whose brows were furrowed and said.
"Now we should be thankful that the newspaper did not publish Li's photo, otherwise the voice of dissatisfaction will only become stronger. Especially those British girls who like handsome and elegant men and love to daydream. When they see him, They will definitely understand why the princess fell in love with him!”
He really couldn’t imagine what those girls and ladies who were usually very smart would do when they saw the energetic, handsome and tall king! No matter what he does, they will fall madly in love with him, and of course he will bless them.
Cinderella and the King.
The King and the Princess!
“From then on, the prince and the princess lived happily together. Your Excellency, this is the fairy tale ending that everyone hopes for.”
"Do you mean that the cabinet needs to support this marriage?"
Alide's brows knitted together. He did not approve of this marriage because the other party was not only Asian, but even Asian. Even the so-called title of king was bought.
God bless, how can such a person marry a princess?
But not only did she get married, she also gave birth to a child!
Even Alide has been talking about equality and freedom in the past few decades.
But all this was just words. In his heart, he didn't think that a commoner could marry a royal family, and certainly didn't think that an Asian could marry a princess of the British Empire.
It is precisely because of this that he feels that this marriage is simply unimaginable, even unreasonable.
"Divorce is not in line with Christian tradition. And compared to the royal family, we need public opinion and the support of the people more."
The secretary's words caused Alide to fall into silence. The royal family is not important, what is important is the support of the people. In his opinion, there is nothing more important than this. It is for this reason that he will go to Nanshan without hesitation, even giving up the colonies and fleet that are most important to the British Empire!
After thinking for a moment, Alide asked.
"So what do we do now?"
The answer is very simple, Britain now needs a fairy tale to warm people's hearts.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, in this period of scarcity, the people need a beautiful story. People hope that the princess and the prince will live happily together forever. Your Excellency!"
The assistant's answer made Alide felt helpless. Although he had made various promises to the people, what he could achieve was very limited. If he tried to expose this fairy tale now, he would definitely become a public enemy.
After thinking about it, Alide said.
"Since they need a good story, then give them a good story, if this is what they want."
