Chapter 589
The cousin of German Emperor William III, the cousin of German Prince Friedrich, and the future British old lady Elizabeth II, is still a graceful and beautiful girl. She is wearing a white court dress and standing in a living room at the Dutch Manor (now owned by Prince Friedrich), with a charming smile and introducing herself to the new German Minister of Defense Hessman and Hessman's wife Chloe, who was visiting the Netherlands in a somewhat stiff German.
"His Excellency Marshal of the Empire, Marquis de Marquis, I am Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Wetting, the first heir to the British throne."
"Wetting? Isn't it Windsor?" Hessman looked at Elizabeth II, who was still loli in front of him, and asked in English.
Elizabeth slightly flattened her mouth, then looked at her eldest nephew, Prince Friedrich, who was standing beside her, and said, "Friedrich believes that I should restore the surname of the German Weting family after inheriting the throne."
The little girl is quite well-behaved! Thinking of this, Hessman looked at Prince Friedrich, who could hardly hold back the smile on his face.
As William III's fourth son, he had no chance of being with the throne. Unexpectedly, a little cousin Elizabeth who could inherit the throne of the United Kingdom fell from the sky, and fell in love with him, the "uncle cousin" at first sight.
This time he was really lucky, with his love luck and throne luck. However, all these "lucks" were brought to him by Hessman, and he also knew the purpose of Hessman coming to Doron Manor to meet Elizabeth.
Hessman came to Doron Manor as the leader of the Juncker Group to inspect Elizabeth! If Hessman opposes, then Elizabeth cannot become the future Queen of England. Although Prince Friedrich can still hold the beauty back, he is just a little beauty, not a little beauty queen.
So in front of Hessman, Prince Friedrich did not dare to act as a prince. He politely invited Hessman and his wife to sit down, and then said in a grateful tone: "Marson of the Empire, you have done too much for our Hohenzollern royal family, more than Prince Bismarck and Earl Moltke combined. If it weren't for you, I would still be a penniless prince, so Elizabeth and I will never forget your contribution to the Hohenzollern dynasty."
The "Hohenzollern Dynasty" he mentioned here does not refer to the German Hohenzollern Dynasty that his second brother would inherit, but refers to the dynasty he and Elizabeth II would establish in the future. The children of Elizabeth II and Prince Friedrich, who belonged to the Hohenzollern Dynasty in England.
Friedrich and Elizabeth did not forget Hessman's contribution, so they would naturally be rewarded in the future. However, Hessman did not care about Elizabeth II's reward at all, because many people have already said similar words to him. One of them was the Russian Empress, the other was the King of Iran, the two were the leaders of the Arab Baath Party, the president and prime minister of the State of Israel, and by the way, there was also the great Italian leader Mussolini.
But Hessman smiled politely and asked Elizabeth in English, "Your Highness, Princess, I hope you can tell the truth. In the future, there will be two British, one British, one Plus, or one British, or one British statement?"
Elizabeth frowned and was very confused by Hessman's question. She looked at her cousin-nephew Prince Friedrich, and the prince explained with a smile: "Elizabeth, the Marshal of the Empire wants to know if you and His Majesty King George VI will separate."
"It may take some time to separate." Princess Elizabeth said slowly.
"Then will he hand over the British throne to you?" Hessman asked again.
Princess Elizabeth shook her head and said, "I will become the Regent of England."
That is "one British will play each other"! Hessman thought to himself that he thought Britain would surrender and lost half of the book, but he didn't expect that Fatty Chiu and George VI actually wanted Britain to make bets. The Fatty saved the king to Canada and continued to be accomplices of American imperialism, allowing Elizabeth to stay in the country as a queen, and also let Elizabeth marry William III's son.
In this way, no matter what the battlefield will be like in the future, the British Empire will not lose all, and those British political elites have a place to take power.
These guys' small abacus is much smarter than the German Nazis!
"Well," Hessman smiled and said to Elizabeth, "Your Highness, I sincerely hope that you can become Queen of England in the near future."
Hearing this, Prince Friedrich looked at his beloved aunt, the Marshal of the Empire, with a smile, and nodded. Aunt Elizabeth soon became the queen.
"But...we have conditions too!" Hessman's tone suddenly became a little serious. He said, "The things that can be taken away from the British mainland, King George VI and the British government will take them away. However, the things that cannot be taken away cannot be deliberately destroyed. They must be left intact to the British people, otherwise the United Kingdom will not be in the future!"
At present, the United Kingdom is still an industrial country with a large number of industrial countries all over the world, with good domestic infrastructure and numerous factories and mines. If it can be "taken all", it will naturally greatly enhance the industrial strength of the European Union. Although it still cannot keep up with the United States, the gap will not be particularly large.
Princess Elizabeth smiled and replied: "Martyr of the Empire, before I left London, my father told me: Now there is a gentleman war between Britain and Germany, and both sides adhere to certain ancient and noble principles, so we will not fight like the Russians did against Emperor Napoleon."
"We Germany also hope to fight a gentleman war, which is the most beneficial to the whole of Europe." Hessman nodded with satisfaction, "We Germans do not want to turn Europe into ruins. Europe is our common home after all."
...
"Ludwig, do you really have to fight?"
After having lunch with the future Queen and the Queen, Hessman left Doron Manor in a brand new Maybach bulletproof sedan with his wife Chloe. On the way to Rotterdam, Chloe suddenly asked questions about the war.
"Yes, Elizabeth didn't say that she would become a regent after George VI left." Hessman sat in the spacious and comfortable back seat with his legs raised, looking at the beautiful spring scenery outside, and said with a smile. "It won't take long before there will be a king and a queen in England."
"A king and a queen?" Chloe frowned, "It sounds like a war on succession to the throne?"
"Of course the war of succession to the throne cannot be fought," Hessman smiled, "but the fall of the British Empire has begun. In the future, Princess Elizabeth will become the queen of England, Scotland and Wales, and Princess Margaret will become the queen of Canada."
"What about Australia and New Zealand?" Chloe asked with a smile.
Hessman shrugged, "Then I don't know... Maybe it will become the territory of the Japanese emperor?"
"Australia in Japan?" Chloe's eyes widened, "Will Hitler agree to such an arrangement?"
"We don't care about this," Hessman waved his hand and said, "The Pacific Ocean is too far away, it's not reachable. Let the Japanese and Americans decide this. You have to give the Japanese some motivation to fight, otherwise the Americans will use more power to the Atlantic Ocean."
"American?" Chloe frowned again, "Are you going to fight with the Americans?"
"Of course, this is inevitable." Hessman smiled, "Why should I come to the Netherlands for what? Isn't it just for war with the United States?"
Shortly after the Battle of the Faroe Islands on March 25, Hessman handed over the position of Chief of Staff to Marshal Kesselin, and he took over the Ministry of Defense from Schletcher. Therefore, his main work also changed from military command to military and political management, and he also became the minister of Hitler's wartime cabinet, so he naturally had to bear more diplomatic missions.
There are four diplomatic missions to be completed during this visit to the Netherlands. One is to meet Princess Elizabeth; the second is to finalize the agreement with the Dutch government to exchange for South Africa for East India; the third is to negotiate the purchase of three Dutch battlecruisers under construction; the fourth is to make the Dutch Guiana.
The three Dutch battlecruisers were historically called Project 1047, and the first ship was named "Esai Lake" class. They were designed and built by Germany to help the Netherlands. However, because Germany launched a war against the Netherlands, the project was not finally completed.
However, in this time and space, the Netherlands and Germany had a good relationship with each other as a family, and there was no incident of invading the Netherlands. Moreover, Hessmann and Schletcher did not regard the German "Schernhorst" class as a treasure. When the Netherlands made a request for assistance, they directly gave the "Schernhorst" class drawings to the Dutch. Therefore, the three battlecruisers under construction in the Netherlands were improved on the basis of the "Schernhorst" class.
The reason why the Dutch spent more than 200 million Dutch guilds to build three improved "Shankhorst" class battlecruisers was not to defend the local area but to deploy it to the Dutch East India to deter the Japanese.
But now, the Dutch government has agreed in principle to "South Africa for East India". The Dutch East India will soon hand it over to Japan in exchange for Japan to assist Germany in seizing South Africa. Germany then handed South Africa to the Netherlands for "South Africa for East India" to the Netherlands. Of course, it is also to further win over and support Japan so that Japan can better fight against the United States.
Without the need to defend the Dutch East India, the Royal Dutch Navy did not need three expensive battleships, so he wanted to sell these three O-class under construction to Germany. Hessmann and Schletcher both agreed to purchase these three powerful battleships, considering the inevitability of going to war with the powerful United States.
The Dutch Guiana issue is a key step in confronting the United States!
