The Rise of the Third Reich

The British Royal Guard is theoretically an armed force belonging to the royal family. Every officer and soldier has sworn to defend the royal family at all costs and execute any order of the king.

But the same oath has been sworn by the Guards in Russia, France, Germany, and all monarchies that have experienced revolutions.

But at the critical moment, no one of the sworn Guards or Royal Guards can be relied on - Prince Friedrich knew this firsthand! And this understanding played a huge role in the critical moments after January 17, 1943.

He, Mosley, the chairman of the British Union of Fascists, and several regimental and battalion commanders of the Royal Guard (all barons and viscounts at the regimental and battalion levels), all hold royal treasures and knighthoods, as well as land deeds and stocks. , as well as admission notices from Oxford and Cambridge, etc., to talk to junior officers and non-commissioned officers in the Royal Guard about life and ideals.

After the conversation, these people's mental outlook suddenly took on a new look, and they became confident about their future. They no longer have to worry about not being able to buy a house in London, they don't have to worry about not being able to find a good job without a diploma, and they don't have to worry about not being able to catch Bai Fumei. In short, the future becomes brighter and life is no longer bleak.

Princess Elizabeth's status in their minds has also undergone earth-shaking changes. She is no longer a condescending little royal girl, but a little mother Elizabeth who is closer than their own mother!

When the backbone of the British Royal Guards found their goal in life, outside Buckingham Palace, all parties were not idle, but went to full throttle to start various political and diplomatic activities and behind-the-scenes transactions.

Let’s talk about London first. On the morning of the 17th, the leaders of the Third International and the Bolshevik Party mobilized workers' armed forces and the masses to surround Buckingham Palace. However, they did not attack immediately, because the Royal Guards set up barricades around Buckingham Palace in a posture of resistance.

Starting from the afternoon of the 17th, the leaders of the British Bolshevik Party seemed to be rushing to the scene, holding speeches one after another in several working-class and petty-bourgeois neighborhoods in London.

All kinds of bad checks were written out like water, such as distribution of factories, distribution of land, distribution of houses, free medical care, free education, high pensions... Of course these are all promissory notes.

The people of London were most concerned about current issues, peace and an abundant food supply - two problems that the leaders of the Bolshevik Party could not solve.

The problems facing the British revolution now are indeed somewhat similar to the Russian Revolution of 1917. The key to success lies with Germany, and Germany is observing and studying the situation in Britain.

"Marshal Imperial, you participated in the Russian Revolution and are very experienced in this issue. Do you think it is possible for the British Bolsheviks to succeed?"

This time it was not German Chancellor Hitler who was asking the question, but the ailing Emperor William III. The British revolution was related to the future and fate of his son and daughter-in-law, and William III could certainly intervene.

"Impossible," Hersman said. "The Russian Revolution was successful because of our support. And we will never support the British Bolshevik Party now, whether they change their name to the Social Democratic Labor Party or not. Will give up all territory except the British Isles."

The two conditions of changing the name and giving up all territory outside the British Isles were conveyed to the German government by the British Bolshevik Party through the Dutch Embassy in London. In addition, the British Bolshevik Party also promised to pay a large amount of reparations to Germany and agreed to allow Prince Friedrich, who was besieged in Buckingham Palace, to leave London.

"So Stalin made a wrong calculation?" William III asked.

"It's not completely wrong..." Hessman shook his head and frowned, "Your Majesty, I don't think Stalin is naive enough to think that we will tolerate a Bolshevik party controlling Britain. He directed the Third International and The purpose of the British Bolshevik rebellion is to mess up Britain and make Britain a trouble for us!”

"Is it troublesome?" William III asked again.

Hessman nodded and said: "There are some troubles. The situation in London is very serious now, and Britain can no longer avoid a civil war. And... I am not sure whether the German army will intervene in the British civil war."

"Intervene?" the emperor asked, "Isn't it impossible to win?"

"It will definitely win!" Hersman said with a shrug, "but... it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath, and Britain will be beaten to a pulp."

Hirschman originally wanted a complete Britain, including the industrial base, scientific and technological achievements and some surface ships under construction, to win them all! In this way, the European Community is expected to equal Germany in terms of industrial strength and will definitely surpass the United States in terms of science and technology. The only thing lacking is that there is not enough oil. However, the oil sea in the Middle East is under German control after all, and the problem of oil is the problem of drilling wells.

But now that there is a proletarian revolution in London, the problem is very complicated. The revolution...of course will not succeed. Not to mention that German imperialism will not allow Britain to become a Soviet country. Even the reactionary forces in Britain cannot be underestimated.

But in the current London, it seems that the Bolshevik Party is more powerful. Once London is completely controlled by the Bolshevik Party, things will be somewhat troublesome.

In addition, Prince Friedrich and Princess Elisabeth, who are now trapped in Buckingham Palace, are the targets of Hessmann's support. If they cannot cope with the current situation, Germany will have no choice but to choose another partner in the UK.

No matter who is chosen, William III’s son and daughter-in-law will never be as reliable.

"So what can we do now?" William III frowned and asked, "Now that Frederick and Elizabeth are trapped in Buckingham Palace, is there any way to help them?"

"Yes!" Hersman said, "We can bomb the East End of London... The plan has been drawn up. As long as the weather conditions permit, the bombers can take off!"

Bombing the East End of London, where workers live, is a practical action to tell the working class in London that Germany will not negotiate peace with the British Bolsheviks, so the British Bolsheviks will not bring them peace!

…

The bombers sent by Hessmann were temporarily unable to reach London due to continuous rain and snow. However, the British Bolshevik Party's "political offensive" against Buckingham Palace is getting stronger day by day.

The means of the "political offensive" is to organize more than 100,000 to 200,000 working people in London to demonstrate and shout slogans around Buckingham Palace every day, exerting psychological pressure on the stubborn Royal Guards and Princess Elizabeth and her followers who are hiding in Buckingham Palace - as long as Elizabeth could not withstand the pressure and negotiated with the Bolsheviks to leave London. Then the Bolsheviks won another major victory.

However, despite the slogans being chanted for several days, the people holding on to Buckingham Palace showed no sign of wavering.

"Down with the Windsors! Long live the Republic of England!"

At noon on January 19, when Princess Elizabeth walked out of the room and stood on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, the slogans of the protestors came towards her like an angry wave. The princess in military uniform trembled slightly, and then a big, powerful hand pressed on her back.

The princess immediately stopped shaking, took a deep breath, and then looked at the place where the protest slogans came from - it was several kilometers away from Buckingham Palace, and the crowd was blocked by Royal Guards officers and soldiers.

Then the princess looked at the square below. The square was densely packed with Royal Guard officers and soldiers wearing red uniforms and bearskin hats. They formed a neat formation and stood firm in the rain and snow.

At this time, a microphone was placed in front of the princess, and the speech she was about to deliver would be broadcast to the Royal Guards officers and soldiers, hundreds of thousands of marchers, and the entire British Isles through several loudspeakers and the newly installed Buckingham Palace radio station.

"Officers and Soldiers of the Royal Guards, citizens of the City of London, citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

I, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Wetting-Windsor, Heir to the British Throne, Prince Regent and Commander of the Royal Guards, will address you at a time of grave crisis for the whole of Britain and the British Empire. My stance and persistence.

First of all, I feel extremely indignant about the riots and killings in London on the 16th and 17th, as well as all violations of British laws. I condemn such atrocities, not because the perpetrators are against the Wettin-Windsor dynasty, but because of this This behavior completely undermines the political principles that our island country has adhered to since the Glorious Revolution - non-violent consultation and majority voting! This is the cornerstone of the stability, development and prosperity of the United Kingdom, but now this political cornerstone, which we are all proud of and cherish so much, no longer exists because of the ambition and atrocities of a few.

Our British politics will be stained with blood from now on! And I, as the heir to the British throne, the British regent and the commander of the Royal Guards, will never be afraid of bloodshed and killing! I will never give up my throne and my responsibility to the country! Britain will never be handed over to a handful of careerists and lunatics!

I will fight to the end! I will not be afraid of sacrifice!

I will soon be crowned King of the United Kingdom and the British Empire!

I will lead all the subjects and armies loyal to me to fight the enemy and win the final victory!

After victory, I will rewrite British legal and political principles with the blood of martyrs and enemies!

Now, you swear allegiance to me! "

Elizabeth's speech was drafted by her fiancé, Prince Friedrich, and sounded hegemonic, as if Wilhelm II was addressing the troops. People who were accustomed to the little sheep-style royal family were all stunned. Even the demonstrators a few kilometers away (who also heard the speech from the loudspeakers) opened their mouths and were speechless.

At this moment, shouts like a mountain falling and the ground breaking suddenly burst out. It was the officers and soldiers of the Royal Guard who were shouting.

"Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen! We pledge our loyalty to the death!"
