"Earl of Granville, don't cry here. Although the empire doesn't know the specific amount of wealth of the British Empire, it still knows how much it is. ≤6 billion Chinese dollars are more, it is not a big problem for the British Empire. I think the wealth you have hidden is enough to pay the war reparations." said the empire's Prime Minister Lin Zihao.

"Your Excellency, the war in one year has consumed a lot of wealth for the British Empire. There is not much wealth left, and it is impossible to pay so much war reparations!" Earl Stanley said quickly. Although the wealth they have now can indeed afford this war reparation. But if it can be reduced a little, why not? After all, the reconstruction and development of Britain will still require money. If Britain wants to take advantage of the next war rise, it will require more money.

"Your Excellency Earl, there is no need to say anything else. This is the condition proposed by the empire and it cannot be changed. It doesn't matter if you don't agree. You can go back and think about it carefully." Lin Zihao interrupted Earl Stanley.

Earl Stanley was shy and angry, but there was no way. Even though the Chinese Empire spoke loudly, they had no way to refuse.

"Third, the Empire was very dissatisfied with the current royal family of the British Empire. Although Queen Victoria was a woman, her ambition to expand externally made the Empire feel threatened. Therefore, the Empire hoped to abolish Queen Victoria's rule over Britain." Lin Zihao continued.

"What? This is impossible. Her Majesty the Queen has received support from the general public in England and is the best candidate to rule Britain. In addition, even if Her Majesty the Queen's rule is abolished, there is no more suitable person to take over the throne!" Earl Stanley did not expect that the Chinese Empire had this plan. This is not a good thing for Britain!

Although Britain is a constitutional monarchy, the king is just a symbolic head, and the real idea is the cabinet. However, the royal family has a relatively large influence in Britain. If you encounter a stronger king, the work of the cabinet will not be able to be carried out. Especially the king who controls the strongest, it is even more constrained by the cabinet. Queen Victoria is undoubtedly an enlightened monarch, and she is far better than other kings. Earl Stanley does not want to replace the British royal family.

"There are many suitable candidates. Among the children of William IV, many people are willing to serve as kings of Britain!" said Wei Yuan, the imperial foreign minister, said. The Empire also had a lot of knowledge about Britain and had a lot of information on the British throne.

The previous king of Queen Victoria was William IV, and the previous king was George IV. They were all sons of King George III of England. However, William IV did not have an orthodox descendant, and his children were just illegitimate children born to his lover. The illegitimate children had no right to inherit in England. Therefore, after William III's death, the king's position fell on Victoria. She was George III's granddaughter.

"No, William IV's children are all illegitimate children, and they do not have the right to inherit in England!" Earl Stanley opposed.

"If the empire supports them, then they have the right to inherit!" Lin Zihao said directly. Even if he was an illegitimate son, if the Chinese Empire directly expressed its support for them, or even sent troops to support them, they would still be able to hold the throne of Britain.

Earls Stanley and Earl Glenville both looked gloomy. The Chinese Empire forced the rule of inheriting the throne with force, and they had no choice. Who told them to lose in the battlefield?

"Finally, for the sake of the Empire's interests, the Empire will limit the future military power of Britain. The British army cannot exceed 50,000 people. It cannot have a navy, or a warship of more than 1,500 tons. Otherwise, the Empire will use force against Britain to disarm Britain!" Lin Zihao continued.

"There are too few troops in 50,000. In order to maintain Britain's security, we need enough troops!" Earl Stanley tried to argue. However, in the face of the strength of the Chinese Empire, they had no choice.

"Okay, this is our condition. You go back and discuss it! If you agree, sign the peace agreement. Then the war will be over. Our British army will also withdraw. If you disagree, then the military control will continue until you agree!" Lin Zihao did not give Count Stanley and the others the chance to argue.

Earls Stanley and Earl Glenville left the conference room dejectedly. It was obvious that the verdict of the Chinese Empire made them very depressed. The demands made by the Chinese Empire were simply unacceptable to Britain. However, if they were not accepted, the Chinese Empire would have always controlled the UK military, and such a result was even more unacceptable to Britain.

After returning to the British Embassy in the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Earl Stanley and Earl Glenville immediately sent a telegram to the country to seek the intentions of the cabinet ministers. At the same time, the news that the Chinese Empire tried to abolish Queen Victoria's rule and instead ruled Britain by William IV's descendants was also sent to Buckingham Palace. This made Queen Victoria and Prince Albert very panicked.

"O God! Those despicable Chinese people are actually going to abolish my rule. My rule over the British Empire is recognized by God. The illegitimate sons of William IV are not qualified to rule Britain at all." Queen Victoria roared, she did not want to be abolished.

"Dear, let's think of other ways! Perhaps, it can make the Chinese change their minds!" said Prince Albert.

"Is there any way?" Queen Victoria looked at Prince Albert with hope.

"The Chinese are very greedy. If we can give them enough money, they may change their minds!" Prince Albert said. Fortunately, when the cabinet asked the royal family to hand over all the wealth, he left one hand and left nearly half of the wealth in order to prevent such unexpected situations. Even in the plunder of the occupied forces of the three countries of China and West, the royal family lost a lot of wealth. But the remaining wealth was still very amazing.

"Dear, give all the wealth to the Chinese, as long as they recognize my rule!" Queen Victoria said immediately. In terms of the choices of wealth and dominance, she chose to maintain her rule without hesitation.

"Okay, my dear, I will instruct people to negotiate with the Chinese right away!" said Prince Albert.

On the evening of November 20, James, the British Minister to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, went to negotiate with the Chinese delegation. And this was on the back of the British cabinet. If the cabinet knew that the royal family had left so much wealth, it would definitely have a stumble with the royal family.

"Dear Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, good evening. I'm sorry to come here to visit!" Minister James looked humble. As a British diplomat, their status has changed a lot because Britain failed one after another in the war. Originally, they were all arrogant roles in countries around the world. However, with Britain's defeat, their status also declined rapidly.

"Please sit down, your magistrate! I don't know what you are doing?" Lin Zihao smiled.

"Your Excellency, I am negotiating with your country on behalf of Her Majesty. Her Majesty does not want to be abolished. For this reason, the royal family is willing to pay the price to satisfy the Chinese Empire!" Minister James continued.

"Oh? What price is Her Majesty willing to pay?" Lin Zihao asked with a smile. In fact, the purpose of proposing to abolish the British royal family during the negotiations was to extort enough wealth from the British royal family. Now it seems that the British have taken the bait.

"Prime Minister, Her Majesty the Queen is willing to pay 100 million Chinese Yuan. As long as your country will abolish the royal family from the negotiations, it will be enough!" said Minister James.

"100 million Chinese Yuan? No, this price does not satisfy the empire. That is the throne of Britain! How could it be worth only 100 million Chinese Yuan?" Lin Zihao shook his head repeatedly.

"So, Your Excellency, how much does your country need Her Majesty to pay?" said Minister James. Although using the throne to trade made Minister James feel guilty from the bottom of his heart. However, he was very excited to be able to participate in the change of the throne himself.

"Twenty billion Chinese dollars, no less than a cent. If you agree, then the empire will no longer mention the abolition of the royal family. If Her Majesty Queen Victoria disagrees, then she will be ready to move out of Buckingham Palace!" Lin Zihao spoke directly.

"Two billion Chinese Yuan? This is simply blackmail!" Although the Chinese people have already prepared to speak loudly, the price of 2 billion Chinese Yuan still stunned Minister James. You know, the total war reparations China asked the UK to pay was only 6 billion Chinese Yuan. If Queen Victoria wanted to keep her throne, she would need 2 billion Chinese Yuan, which was really a sky-high price.

"Your Excellency, this price is not high. You should discuss it with Her Majesty the Queen!" said Wei Yuan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire.

"Okay!" Minister James had to leave from the Imperial Embassy in the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

When Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who were far away in London, knew the offer of the Chinese Empire, they were also stunned. However, they had no choice but to accept it. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
