Chapter 806 Churchill's Death - Going to Hell

Explosions were everywhere in London, and King Charles Street, Whitehall Street, Downing Street, Regent Street, Oxford Street, Burlington Market Street, and of course, a US military jeep with bombs exploded on the square outside Buckingham Palace, causing great chaos.

When the explosion sounded, Princess Elizabeth was having lunch with her fiancé Prince Friedrich, uncle Duke Windsor, and Mrs. Simpson, the wife of Duke Windsor, and discussing the issue of the armistice and Princess Elizabeth's ascendance to the throne. The princess still has many procedures to go through to become the queen.

This matter is a bit complicated in Britain. Unlike in China, if the officers of the Royal Guard put a yellow robe on Elizabeth, and then shouted long live the mountain, she would immediately become Queen Elizabeth II... This is definitely illegal!

Of course, legal procedures must be passed through parliament! In addition to the famous Bill of Rights, Britain also has the "Succession Act of the Throne", which is also a spell that is tied to the king or queen. Without this law, Prime Minister Baldwin would not be able to turn Edward VIII into the Duke of Windsor.

According to the provisions of the "Succession Act", the succession of the throne is decided by the parliament, not the monarch himself! Moreover, in history, the British Parliament also deposed the king twice, one was Edward II and the other was Charles I. According to the practice of impeaching the kings between these two times, the parliament could remove the king through the Book of Demons or the Book of Great Protest.

But Princess Elizabeth doesn't want to make it so ugly, and hopes to have a milder reason to deprive her father of her crown.

Prince Friedrich put forward a suggestion of "urging the king to return to his country", which could be adopted by the parliament as a "Letter to Urge the King to Return to his country". As long as George VI refused, he could be dismissed openly.

Just when the Duke of Windsor and Princess Elizabeth thought the steps were good, a car bomb exploded a few thousand meters away from Buckingham Palace.

"What's going on?" Prince Friedrich found an officer from the Royal Guard.

"Sir, someone put a bomb in James Park (the garden outside Buckingham Palace)!"

"Do you know who it is?"

"I don't know, but there are many places in London that have exploded!"

"What? Many places exploded?" Prince Friedrich immediately became alert.

Now is the critical moment for him to have both a country and a beauty! For some people with ulterior motives, now is also the critical moment for them to cause trouble and rebellion!

"Sir," just when Prince Friedrich didn't know what to do, another Royal Guard officer reported to him, "The people in the East District started to make trouble again, with more than 100,000 people taking to the streets, and slogans of "Churchill's government immediately stepped down" and "Immediately ceased to fight."

"Didn't Churchill resign?" Princess Elizabeth frowned when she heard Prince Friedrich's report, "He is already guarding the Prime Minister of the Cabinet... He is going to step down, who will preside over the government?"

"Or let Foreign Minister Aiden act as an agent?" The Duke of Windsor seemed to have not understood what was going on and proposed to let Aiden act as an agent.

"Duke, they are not asking Churchill to step down, but the Churchill government to step down!" Prince Friedrich reminded with a frown.

"But there is no way to organize a new government now." The Duke of Windsor looked helpless.

"Why can't it?" Prince Friedrich had just become a British man and his legal awareness was still relatively weak. "Isn't it enough for the princess to directly appoint Attlee to organize a temporary cabinet?"

"This is illegal!" The Duke of Windsor glanced at Friedrich from Germany and said to himself: Your wife is not a queen yet, how can you designate a prime minister in the cabinet? Moreover, the British monarch has not designated a prime minister for a long time. If it is designated by a princess who has not yet been crowned, it will probably cause new disputes.

"And Attlee would not necessarily accept such an appointment," said the Duke of Windsor, "because this commission greatly enhances the authority of the monarch..."

The British monarch is a rubber stamp. If a regent princess can designate a civilian (because the parliament was dissolved and Attlee is not a member of parliament) as prime minister, this authority will really rise! If Attlee accepts the appointment and relies on the Royal Guard loyal to the royal family to quell the rebellion, will it be the largest Parliament or the largest King in the future?

"Then send the Royal Guard to suppress it!" Prince Friedrich gritted his teeth and put forward another suggestion to greatly enhance the majesty of the royal family.

"This is not possible..." The Duke of Windsor shook his head repeatedly, "Do you want Elizabeth to become a monarch like Bloody Mary?"

Bloody Mary was Queen Mary I of England. During her reign, she adopted bloody suppression measures against Protestant forces and political opponents. She was a powerful queen who was not popular with the British people.

"What's wrong with being Mary I?" Prince Friedrich asked loudly. "Isn't the Tudor dynasty a golden age?"

Yes, what's wrong with becoming Mary I? At least I won't be removed from office because of marriage! The Tudor dynasty to which Mary I belonged was a golden age for the British monarch. In that era there was neither the Bill of Rights nor the Law on the Succession of the Throne. The army was the king's tool, the parliament was only responsible for providing advice, the ministers were the king's servants, and the people would never dare to go to the streets to protest if they were done or not.

The Duke of Windsor and Princess Elizabeth looked at each other, and neither knew how to answer Friedrich's question. At this moment, another officer from the Royal Guard rolled in and reported to Prince Friedrich.

"Sir, the marching masses are rushing into Whitehall Street and fighting with the London County Division!"

"Assault on Whitehall Street? Still fighting?" Friedrich frowned, "What's the fight?"

"I don't know," the officer shook his head, "but the gunfire from Whitehall Street is very dense!"

"What?" Prince Friedrich's face changed, and he quickly walked to a closed window, opened the curtains, and then pushed open a large bronze-framed glass window. The cold wind blew into the somewhat stuffy conference room. Everyone shivered, and then they heard crackling gunshots and slogans that were higher than a while.

"Peace is coming soon!"

"Down with Churchill!"

"Down with Windsor Dynasty!"

"Long live the Republic of England!"

The people's cry and the dense sound of gunfire reached the bunker where Churchill was, one after another, one after another. It was obvious that the number of people in the uprising in the areas of Whitehall Street, King Charles Street and Downing Street was increasing rapidly.

The bunker was also noisy, and the phone rings were heard one after another. Secretary, staff officer or higher-level officials were like ants on a hot pan, either holding the phone or yelling around. Only the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, who was at the end of the road, sat in his office, lit a cigar, and smoked slowly, as if he didn't care about anything.

Churchill's private secretary John Martin panicked and ran in, "Mr. Prime Minister, the phone still couldn't be reached, and no one sent out to contact him came back..."

The telephone line has been cut off! The Bolshevik Party and the Third International have been operating in London for many years, but there is still some foundation. The explosion on King Charles Street is a signal. At the same time as the explosion sounded, internationalist soldiers cut off the telephone line.

At the same time, the Bolshevik Party's suicide squads disguised themselves as British officers and soldiers and raided the headquarters of the Conservative Party, Labor Party, Liberal Party, Fascist Union and the residences of the bigwigs of these parties.

Such things would not happen before the last London protest, when London was under strict control. However, after the London protest, the prestige of the cabinet was ruined during the war, and the morale of the people and military began to float. The workers in the East District could form armed forces openly. Moreover, when the US military evacuated, they handed over a considerable portion of the weapons and food to the union controlled by the Bolsheviks, and the US Embassy gave millions of dollars in rebellion funds. These factors together caused the situation to gradually lose control.

Churchill was not ignorant of this, but he made the same mistake as Kerensky in 1917, trying to increase his prestige through a victory. However, the British army did not bring him victory...

"Where is Buckingham Palace?" Churchill asked lightly, "They shouted the slogan of defeating the Windsor Dynasty, and they should also send people to attack there, right?"

"Prime Minister, there will be no trouble in Buckingham Palace, where 12,000 Royal Guard soldiers are stationed."

"But they still pointed the finger at Buckingham Palace. Why is that?" Churchill asked the question, but did not wait for his secretary to answer, but said on his own, "Don't Stalin know that the British royal family has a tradition of ignoring politics? Didn't he know that the royal family has a royal guard? Why did he point the finger at the Windsor dynasty from the beginning? I think... he didn't think that the Bolsheviks in London could succeed! What he wanted was just a Britain that had lost its political foundation and democratic system and was completely in chaos and turmoil. That was what he wanted!"

"Mr. Prime Minister," John Martin had no idea to listen to Churchill's nonsense. He heard a burst of gunfire outside, and he hurriedly said, "It's almost impossible to defend. The rebels' firepower is very strong and the number of people is too large. The soldiers of the London County Division cannot resist... You must leave quickly!"

Churchill smiled bitterly and said, "No, I won't leave, I won't go anywhere except hell!" As he said, he took out his pistol from the drawer, "John, go by yourself. If you can enter Buckingham Palace, please tell the princess for me that if someone must have his hands covered with the blood of the people, I hope that person is her!"
