Chapter 741: One whale fell and all things came into being (Third update, please subscribe)
London Airport.
On the command tower, taking the coffee from his assistant, Philip said.
"Sir, the next few days will be very busy. We must make sure there are no accidents."
After saying this, Philip, who was an Air Force major, couldn't help but sigh. , like many British people who experienced World War II, he was full of reverence for George VI.
Now his king had left them.
While feeling sentimental, a call came from the tower radio.
“This is Nanyang Airlines Flight 001, requesting to land.”
Flight 001, Philip couldn’t help but be stunned and said in surprise.
“It’s Princess Margaret’s plane, how come she came back first?”
Soon the reporters waiting at the airport also got the news - Princess Margaret has arrived!
Before Crown Prince Elizabeth returned from Kenya, Princess Margaret, who was far away in Southeast Asia, first returned to London.
“Oh my God, how could Her Royal Highness come back so quickly!”
Finally, amidst people’s doubtful gazes, a plane as graceful as a white swan issued the order With an impressive roar, it landed at the London Airport in the morning light of London.
This unique aircraft immediately became the protagonist of the airport, and reporters took pictures of this C717 with their cameras.
"It's a jet!"
"Is it our comet?"
"No, it seems to be a jet from Nanyang..."
"It's Why is the engine at the tail of the plane? "
While the reporters were discussing, the door of the plane opened, and Margaret and Li Yian, dressed in black dresses, walked out of the cabin. Under the spotlight, the two of them stepped off C717. Margaret, who was held by her husband, tried her best to control the pace to make herself stronger. But the moment she set foot on the land of London, Princess Margaret, who was moved by the scene, couldn't help but start to feel happy again, while Li Yi'an hugged her tightly.
News of Princess Margaret's first return to London that day. It appeared in newspapers in London and even in European and American countries, and the front pages of the newspapers were all "Her Royal Highness the Princess's Mysterious Plane". The beautiful C717 immediately became the darling of the media. This jet aircraft, which flew nearly 12,000 kilometers in just eighteen hours, shocked the whole world with its outstanding performance.
While the whole world is stunned by the outstanding performance of the C717, for the current Britain, the king's funeral is a top priority.
An hour after Margaret arrived in London, Crown Prince Elizabeth also returned to London after passing through Cairo. Soon the two sisters met. They looked at each other speechlessly, not knowing what to say, but they could both feel each other's sadness.
Li Yi'an's eyes have always been on Prince Philip. Looking at this prince, who would have thought that Britain's first son-in-law would be able to be in love with Lafayette while outside in the next few decades. Have you got dozens of lovers?
From a long-legged actress to a wealthy businessman, she even cheated on the queen's cousin, good guy, and most importantly...it was all Elizabeth's tacit approval.
All I can say is... In terms of how to play, I am the hero!
However, in terms of generosity, they sisters are all... generous, which is a blessing for us!
While feeling emotional, Li Yian and Prince Philip chatted briefly while the sisters were talking. Prince Philip naturally mentioned the speed of the C717. Like everyone else, he was also shocked by its speed.
"If you have the chance, you are welcome to visit Nanyang. Times have changed now. With jets, it is basically a matter of morning and evening to travel from Europe to Asia."
"I hope I have the opportunity. Well..." As he spoke, Prince Philip turned his eyes to his wife, no, it should be to the king. From today on, he will be her subject!
From now on, the relationship between husband and wife will no longer be pure. In fact, it has never been pure at all.
The funeral of George VI is proceeding in an orderly manner, but the first thing to be done is not the funeral, but the enthronement of Elizabeth II. A simple ceremony was held on February 8 .
It was not until the 11th that the coffin parked at St. Mary Magdalen Church in Sandringham was loaded on the train and transported back to London. Then the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II and Margaret The Princess greets the King's coffin at Westminster Hall. The coffin was then parked in the hall for public mourning. More than 300,000 British people lined up to pay their last respects to the king.
As a guest attending the funeral, Li Yi'an mainly participated in the ceremony, but he was just a participant. Of course, he also witnessed the last glory of the British Empire - representatives from the dominions and colonies came here to see the king off.
The last such grand state funeral was the funeral of George VI's father, George V. At that time, the British Empire still had the word "emperor" in it. Now, with the death of George VI, the Indian emperor.
I, Daying, am the only one left.
As for the empire... it simply disappeared.
In the next few decades, only the Queen will be left in Great Britain, and then what? It is Lafayette. In the days that can be seen with the naked eye, Lafayette is as declining as Britain.
In fact, Li Yi'an is not just a spectator these days. After all, dignitaries from various countries continue to arrive in London during the state funeral. Taking advantage of such an occasion, everyone must of course communicate about the current international situation.
Of course, the Duke of Windsor is back, but the Duchess is still banned from entering the UK.
On February 15th, with the sound of church bells and cannon salutes, the funeral procession began to move forward slowly from the place of rest. The coffin was carried onto the cannon carriage, with the famous Duke of Windsor and his younger brothers the Duke of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent walking behind. Behind the procession were heads of state, members of royal families, dignitaries and other dignitaries. Li Yian was among them. Both sides of the street were crowded with people coming to see him off. Mourners gathered together to take a look at the funeral procession. Some held mirrors in the air to try to get a better view over the heads of others.
When the funeral procession passed by Queen Mary's residence, she watched her son through the window. The funeral procession arrived at Paddington Railway Station, and the coffin and mourners took the train to Windsor Castle. The funeral of King George VI takes place in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Although the funeral is over, the matter is not over yet. Although Elizabeth has ascended the throne, according to European tradition, she can only be regarded as the Queen of England after the coronation ceremony. As for when the coronation will take place, the cabinet needs to determine the time. The coronation ceremony marked the formal conferring of power on the emperor by the emperor.
After the funeral, facing Elizabeth, this old Buddha, now only 25 years old, said insincere words from Li Yian's mouth.
"The UK is now at a critical moment. When His Majesty needs help, even if we say it bluntly, Margaret and I will do our best to support His Majesty."
In fact, looking at the future, the British Empire The decline of China is inevitable, but what does Nanyang need?
One whale falls and all things come into being.
The death of my big whale, Daying, is a perfect opportunity for Nanyang.
"Thank you, Li, please take good care of Mary."
Elizabeth, who was wearing a black veil, looked at the man in front of her through the black veil. Throughout the funeral process, Margaret was in extreme sadness. In another world, in the decades after the death of George VI, Margaret Gregor has always lived in the memory of his father.
"I know, you also have to take care of yourself."
Looking at the girl behind the black veil, Li Yi sighed, this girl is also in trouble, in the next days , the British Empire under her control was like a piece of fat that was torn apart by the United States and Russia...
As for Fatty Qiu, after he passed away as the "last imperialist", there would be no more No one is protecting this country anymore. Even the United States, as an ally, is eating the flesh of Great Britain overtly and covertly.
Actually, we also want to eat this meat from Daying!
In fact, this is what happens in the world, it just repeats itself in decline and rise. The dawn comes, and it's a new beginning.
