Chapter 870: Condolences to the Queen (Part 1)

"Your Majesty, the United Kingdom has sent a telegram to the whole world, saying that their Queen Victoria passed away due to illness and medical treatment. Ministers and celebrities from various countries in the United Kingdom can go to express their condolences as appropriate!" Jun Zhixian brought a telegram and said. > Bar--=··-

Wang Guorui was surprised: "That old woman in Victoria is dead? Well, is that Her Majesty the Queen dead?"

Wang Guorui counted the days. It seems that Queen Victoria died at about this time in the original history. Now it is January in 1901 AD, and it seems to be around this time in the original history. Specifically, Wang Guorui didn't even know what day it was.

"It seems that Queen Victoria knew about it a few months ago, so she also wrote a will." Jun Zhixian said.

Wang Guorui also knew that some old people were so strange. Before they died, they seemed to know that their time was numbered, so they would feel it too. This feeling is very strange and generally incomprehensible. But this kind of thing is indeed true for some elderly people. It is not impossible for Queen Victoria to feel this way. After all, she is also old, and it is normal to feel this way at this time. However, Queen Victoria passed away at this time, which actually had no impact on the world structure. After all, the United Kingdom has completed the constitutional monarchy. Although Queen Victoria was quite powerful when she was young decades ago, she became more and more powerless when she was old. The actual power of the British royal family has begun to decline sharply, and the power of various bureaucrats has also begun to rise. Even Victoria couldn't stop this trend, and even Wang Guorui knew that his offspring might have this day, and maybe he would start this trend when he was in his forties.

This is a historical trend, and Wang Guorui has no way to reverse it, or he has no idea to reverse it at all. ﹎__﹍8··=-=···`But now that Queen Victoria has passed away, there must be condolences. Even though Wang Guorui's relationship with the UK is not good, after all, they have had contacts. Although the UK has not officially recognized Wang Guorui's new China, what should be sent still has to be sent. This is at least an etiquette condolence. China can be regarded as an influential country in the world, so it is necessary to be polite when sending a telegram of condolence.

"Okay. Go to notify the government, go to draw up a telegram of condolences, and then let our people in the London office go to condolences instead of us in China!" Wang Guorui said.

This telegram from the government will naturally be drawn up by someone, and Quan Zhixian only needs to notify the government. It doesn't have to be complicated. However, Jun Ji-hyun still said a somewhat surprising news next.

"Your majesty, do you want to mourn as a junior? After all, you are somewhat related to the European royal family!" Quan Zhixian said.

"According to relatives? No way? I have been Chinese for generations! Even if I don't know that my ancestors have some ethnic minority blood, I will definitely not go to Europe!" Wang Guorui said.

"It's not yours, it's Queen Wilhelmina's. As Queen Wilhelmina's husband, you are naturally Queen Victoria's junior. It's not impossible for you to send a personal condolence message as a junior." Jeon Ji-hyun Said.

Wang Guorui asked: "What is the in-law network between Mary and the European royal family?"

"It's like this, the mother (great-grandmother) of Queen Wilhelmina's grandfather - Princess Wilhelmina of Prussia, is the younger sister of William II's great-grandfather (Frederick William III). 8﹏>﹍--`··- `-·-`= The two are distant relatives, and they haven’t released five clothes yet. William II’s aunt, Princess Louise of Prussia, also married Prince Frederick of Orange-Nassau in the Netherlands. As for William II’s The mother was the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, the eldest daughter, and…”

When Quan Zhixian told the relationship network of Wilhelmina's marriage with the whole European countries one by one, Wang Guorui was confused. Wang Guorui couldn't figure out the relationship, and it was hard for Quan Zhixian to memorize it. However, Wang Guorui seemed to have a lot of trouble seeing this Jun Zhixian, and he had to recall carefully to remember it. He even spared a lot of small countries that even Wang Guorui is not familiar with. And then it finally came around to England.

As a result, even Wang Guorui was dizzy after being spared, and he didn't even understand the sequence. Wang Guorui guessed that it would not be so easy to figure out the relationship even if he wrote on paper with pen and paper, even if he did not use words.

"Okay, well, since they are my elders anyway, I will draft a telegram in my personal capacity, and then let the director of the office stationed in London, England, go with him. Since they represent the country, they will send it on my behalf. A message of condolence is ready. This Queen Victoria is known as the old grandmother of Europe, and if Queen Mary and I have some daughters in the future, if we find a Chinese consort for them, will this bring Victoria's blood to the East? I Damn it. This relationship network is more complicated." Wang Guorui smiled wryly, if he and Wilhelmina's daughter also find husbands in the East, then not only the West will be involved in the blood of the old grandmother, but even himself The East will also be involved.

Wang Guorui also finally understands why some people in later generations say that the history of war in Europe is actually a civil war within a family, and that the royal families of these European countries are all troubled and related. From a macro perspective, they are really a family. But these families still know how to fight. Never heard of mercy. However, that is just that they will not show mercy to ordinary people, and if they capture the royal family or noble captives at first, whether they can be killed or not, they are relatives anyway!

However, Wang Guorui suddenly came up with a bad idea and said: "According to what I mean, you go and draft a speech with those translators who can speak English, and then give this speech to our office director in London." , Let him give a speech. Disgusting those British, if you don’t disgust the British, then I’m uncomfortable!”

"Your majesty, it's better to keep some morals. After all, he died anyway, and the dead are the most important! Everyone is dead, no matter how great the hatred is, it should disappear, right?" Quan Zhixian said hesitantly.

Wang Guorui shook his head and said, "No, no, you think I'm going to swear? Don't worry, I don't use swear words!"

In London, condolences are being prepared inside Buckingham Palace. And this time was when Queen Victoria passed away. After all, Queen Victoria was an old grandmother in Europe, and their descendants were all royal families from various countries, so no matter what the royal families of various countries did, they wanted to show face. No matter how the countries are now, no matter how many countries such as Germany and the UK have conflicts with the British, it is impossible for them to find them bad luck at this time. So at this time, there are absolutely many people who come to express their condolences, even the French people in the republic system also come to express their condolences. After all, France and the United Kingdom have been allies for many years. This kind of alliance in the world will not be easily changed just because of a change of government or a different political system. Therefore, the republican France and the United Kingdom can still be negotiated.

"Hua Changfeng, Director of the Yanhuang Empire's London Office, represents the Yanhuang Empire government, Emperor Wang Guorui, and Wang Guorui's personal representative to express condolences!"

Those nobles from all over the world who came to investigate heard the director of the Chinese Office in London go to express condolences, which made everyone feel interesting. After all, Wang Guorui is the emperor of China, but the British still have different opinions on whether to recognize the Yanhuang Empire. Because Wang Guorui did not recognize that he was the successor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he did not recognize the treaty signed between the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Britain, which made the British very embarrassed. If China is a weak one, they can play whatever they want, but now China is not a weak one, and this is what makes them difficult.

As for the latter representing the emperor, everyone was a little surprised by this, wouldn't it be enough to represent the emperor? Why is there a personal representative of Wang Guorui? Isn't this too redundant? But soon some people understood~lightnovelpub.net~After all, the European royal families are all related. Since Wang Guorui is the husband of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and has a daughter, it is also likely. She is considered a younger generation of Queen Victoria, so it is not impossible to express condolences on behalf of Wang Guorui.

Although the British didn't have a good impression of Wang Guorui, at this time it was impossible to communicate with the director of the Chinese government's London office, and representatives of the Chinese royal family and Wang Guorui came to offer condolences.

After Hua Changfeng, director of the Chinese Office in London, signed and left a message on the condolence book, he was finally about to give some speeches. However, this is generally the praise of those great men from various countries, and it is rare to say his fault. After all, the country is still there, and it has not been overthrown. Naturally, it is impossible to scold him. This kind of thinking that death is the greatest is also present in foreign countries, at least for a country as a leader, you will not curse people after they die. If you swear at people at this time, I am afraid that you will definitely offend many people.

However, that Hua Changfeng was thinking in his heart: "This speech planned by the emperor is really extremely wicked. I'm afraid those British people might feel like they are going to eat flies later! Maybe, I have some later." Looks good, it was really interesting at that time. Although our army can't fight to the UK, it's still okay to make them disgusting, let you bully us China for so many years, huh!" (To be continued.)
