Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

Chapter 149 Talking about how to usurp power

August has not returned to Sanssouci Palace for a while. Although it is very beautiful, it is still a bit far away from the city of Berlin. If she does not have to go to Sanssouci Palace for some special reasons, she usually will not come here. .

But this time many big shots came, and August invited them all to come to Sanssouci Palace to have fun, which would help the emotional exchange between the two parties.

Of course, August mainly wanted to talk to Lillian and hear what was going on with her plan and if she needed any help from him.

August invited Lilian alone to a tea party in the courtyard outside. Britain cannot lose black tea, just like the 3D Zone cannot lose Jerusalem.

In August's opinion, Lillian looked younger and shorter than him, just like his sister. Her expressions occasionally showed were quite cute, but she was not very frank. Thinking of this, August Te's hand touched Lilian's head inexplicably.

"Stop touching him, he won't grow taller!" Lilian pouted and shook her head desperately.

"Oh, Miss Lillian is so cute, I can't control it..." Although he said this, there was no reflection on August's expression.

"I know I'm cute, but what's the matter with your Onnisa look? I'm obviously older..."

"Ara, I can't see it at all..." August's eyes saw Lilian's chest, which was a scene of vigorous vitality and all things competing. To put it bluntly, the future is promising. To put it nicely, it’s still developing, but to put it badly, it’s Wuhu taking off, as long as you have the skills.

Lillian noticed August's strange gaze, and followed August's gaze to look down. It was indeed flat, just enough to see her feet. She immediately blushed and said, "I'm still in the growth stage."

"Oh...really?" August sneered.

"I always feel that you are thinking of something very rude..."

"Where is it? I'm sorry, Lilian Onai-chan~"

"Well, you'd better stop yelling like that, but I'll just try to forgive you." Lilian suddenly felt confident again.

August said with a smile, "Miss Lillian is surprisingly very innocent."

"Humph, I wouldn't have formed an alliance with you if I had known that... It's true... that old bastard Napoleon III is even more amiable than you!" Lilian said angrily.

"Then you can go to him to form an alliance, but who will listen to your complaints except me? Besides, your naming skills are really poor. What is the name of the National Socialist National Party of Great Britain? The name is so long and the ingredients are so colorful. Hey, it’s like announcing the name of a dish.”

"It sounds much better than the Conservative Party. I have listened to your opinion. There is no such thing as burning bridges. Why should I complain? You obviously also like to complain about the people in the Prussian Parliament. Well, let's do it." I was like a little kid.”

"Isn't Miss Lillian just a child?"

"If you say that again, be careful and I'll stab you in the back!"

"Okay, let me make you a cup of tea to calm down."

August poured a cup of tea for Lillian. Although Lillian still looked unhappy, she was not really angry.

After drinking a cup of tea, Lillian's expression became serious, "August, you should know what that last name means, right?"

"Of course I know, so what, I can't give him lunch just because of his surname. And if it's not, he's not the only one with the surname Hitler. And even if it is, it doesn't matter. I will change this. Everything.”

"Although I say that, you still have to pay a little attention. Even half of his name is enough to scare people."

August: "Don't worry, whether it is for Britain or Germany, I will not allow an imperialist Germany to survive into the twentieth century. I will fight all the wars in my life and let this land People can live happily on this continent.”

"To put it lightly, I always want to do everything in my own life. This is always impossible. Each generation will have its own problems. You cannot handle all the problems alone. As long as the problems exist , will spawn all kinds of extremists, can you stop the 'Hitlers'?" Lilian raised this question, but she thought for a moment and then said, "Can you represent the will of the Germans? "

"I don't know, but if the people are still willing to believe in me, then I have the obligation to lead the country in the direction that I think is right. The reasons for each choice may not be so just, but I hope that Germany will be better in a hundred years." People, when our descendants look at the past, I can tell them on my epitaph that I have tried my best to leave them a paradise to live and work in peace and contentment."

August looked at Lilian, and the corner of her mouth curled up with a smile inexplicably, "It would be great if that's what you think. Although we are opponents from a standpoint, I agree with what you said, no matter what I don’t want to face your German Empire, and you don’t want to face my British Empire. The world is big enough to accommodate two superpowers.”

"So? When will you be able to take office? The continental balance policy implemented by the Conservative Party has made it difficult for me to win the Bohemia region. If I can't defeat Austria in one go, won't it be difficult for me to play later? "

"Britain is not Prussia. You can get to the top if you want. Besides, I am still expanding my party. In the UK, even the monarch cannot monopolize power like you. The military and political affairs are in one hand. It is not uncommon for various strata to argue with each other. , and it’s difficult for me to get support from the middle class, and because I want to nationalize, I can’t get support from the bourgeoisie. It’s still too difficult to rely on the proletariat alone.”

Lillian certainly wants to use violence to overthrow Parliament, but her party does not represent the entire UK. Workers in her party account for [-]%, farmers account for [-]%, and military personnel account for [-]%. , the remaining class is only about [-]%, basically only representing the working class and the military. Those in the middle class support the Conservative Party and believe that it is best not to change the status quo, even if Lilian promises that she can provide better benefits , they also refused because of their risk-averse instinct. Even now that Britain is sinking deeper and deeper into the economic crisis, they believe that the Conservative Party can solve the problem and does not need the more radical Social Democratic Party.

The bourgeoisie are even less likely to give up their privileges. Lilian has done nothing to win the support of the bourgeoisie from beginning to end. The British bourgeoisie is very powerful. Basically, it can be said that whoever they want can be the prime minister. .

Lilian's own charm is naturally impeccable. She successfully won the absolute loyalty of the army by relying on the prestige she accumulated in the army during the war, but it was useless. The British generally believed that it was not the time yet.

"I see... According to my opinion, you still need the help of the bourgeoisie. Not only that, you also need the support of the aristocracy. In this regard, you have an advantage. You have a legal basis for the position of the Queen of England. , after all, you are the granddaughter of George IV and have a claim to the British throne. Although the current queen is Victoria, and she can still sit for a long time, she seems to like you quite a lot. You can trick her into giving up the throne to you. Well!"

"Your idea is really rebellious... But I have more than twenty brothers above me. How do you want me to seize the throne... Wait, it doesn't seem impossible... ....."

Lilian then remembered that her support rate among the people seemed to be very high. As long as Victoria was willing to give up her position to her, it seemed that based on seniority, she could not completely defeat those people who came from who knows which village. Compared with those messy brothers, , my bloodline seems to be a little purer.

"By the way, Lilian, let me teach you another good way to control capitalists, but this may require you to be able to establish your image among the people."

"I'm quite confident about this. Basically everyone in the UK knows me... There shouldn't be a big image problem, and I don't have any scandals."

"That's good, let's create a cult of personality!"
