Six hundred and thirty-six. Regatta
"Baron Skeleton, it turns out that you are just like that. The only thing that I can't understand is why you became a legend?"
When Elizabeth asked this naive question, Sir Monlington and General Rosen had to hold back their smiles and wait for Ernstbrem to answer the question.
Wang Weiyi was serious: "It's probably because I've never met a powerful opponent like you before."
"I would be happier if I could defeat you on the battlefield." Elizabeth smiled like a flower: "Joan of Arc"
Sir Monlington and General Rosen were amused and crying. As a future heir to the British throne, were he going to worship his former enemies?
If this is to be spread, it will really undermine the majesty of the British Empire royal family.
"Your Highness, Elgre Tea, your favorite afternoon tea." Fortunately, the butler's arrival resolved this embarrassment.
After the three of them sat down, Sir Monlington was a little confused: "Your Highness, you should be in Scotland now, why do you have to join the army? War is not a very pleasant thing."
"The whole of England is fighting, and I am no exception." Elizabeth's expression was very serious: "As the princess of the royal family of England, only in this way can we inspire the courage to fight to the end of England. My father and I beg for a long time and finally got his permission."
It is undeniable that Elizabeth is still a very brave woman.
This personality probably originated from her mother.
Elizabeth was 13 years old when World War II broke out. She and her sister Princess Margaret both went to Balmoral, Scotland to take refuge. At that time, someone suggested that the two princesses should take refuge in Canada, but they were opposed by their mother: "The children cannot leave without me, I cannot leave without a king, and the king cannot leave under any circumstances."
In 1940, Princess Elizabeth first published a radio broadcast targeting all children in shelter
Wang Weiyi took a sip of Eargrey tea and found that it was not right for his taste. He put down the cup and heard Elizabeth say again: "When Prime Minister Churchill reported to my father, I heard some rumors, such as the United States has declared war on Japan, and the Skeleton Baron has arrived in London."
Speaking of this, she glanced at Wang Weiyi: "To be honest, not only me, but about half of the British in London are interested in the Skeleton Baron. Of course, I used some royal privileges. I was lucky enough to meet the Skeleton Baron. Well, I hope that the next time I see it on the battlefield, the Baron will stop letting me and really let me see his bravery."
Wang Weiyi smiled and had some good feelings for Elizabeth. She was naive, but she was not stupid. She was even very smart.
She knew very well that even if the ten Elizabeths were combined, they could not be the opponent of the Skeleton Baron. The Baron was just giving in to her like everyone else.
However, after this "duel", coupled with the jealousy of those who have not seen it with their own eyes, Elizabeth, the future heir to the throne, will obviously add a mysterious halo to himself because of the "duel".
This is probably the real purpose of Elizabeth, who seems a bit reckless.
Not bad. Wang Weiyi, a very smart girl, thought so in her heart.
"Will you go to the rowing meeting tomorrow, Sir Monlington?" Elizabeth suddenly asked.
"Oh, of course, my rowing Prince Dobert has been preparing for this event for a long time." Sir Monlington became interested, and then he said to General Rosen: "Rosen, where is your "Hound"? What is the performance of your preparation this time?"
General Rosen shrugged: "I don't expect to get a good ranking. Sir Monlington, I know you hired a very good rowing crafter, Bloss. And I? Not that good rowing crafter."
Wang Weiyi was confused when he heard it?
Rowing? In December weather?
Perhaps seeing Wang Weiyi's doubts, General Rosen explained: "His Excellency Baron, this is a tradition. Before the winter is approaching, everyone with rowing can participate. Oh, I forgot, Your Highness Princess. I heard that you also found a good rowing player this time?"
"Are you talking about Lügeyi?" Elizabeth seemed helpless: "Poor Lügeyi, he is sick. Now my 'Royal Princess' has no rowing players."
"That would have let Philip down. I heard that Lu Geyi was the rowing boater that Philip personally chose for you." General Rosen said ambiguously.
Ah. Philip? That is the future Queen Elizabeth’s husband, right? Wang Weiyi thought quickly.
The understanding between Elizabeth and Philip is a bit legendary.
The future Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, was originally named Philip von Schleswig-Holstein-Zondeburg-Grüxburg. He was born into a royal family in decline in Europe. His father, Prince Andre, was the fourth son of one of the seven sons of King George I of Greece, and his great-grandfather was King Christian I of Denmark. His mother, Princess Alice of Hesse, was the great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria of England. Before he married the queen, he was a prince of Greece and Denmark. When he was young, Philip was over meter tall and his eyes were very rare "steel blue". It is said that he conquered Queen Elizabeth's heart with these charming eyes.
In 1939, King George VI of England and his family visited the Royal Naval School in Tartmouth. Philip, 18, was studying at that school. The young Philip brought his cousins to the garden to play croquet and tennis, which was the first time the future Queen of England and his husband met. In the game, 13-year-old Elizabeth noticed Philip's agile skills. When King George's yacht "Victoria and Albert" drove away from Dartmouth, Philip "requisitioned" a small rowing boat.
The force of the yacht was accompanied by the royal yacht and turned a blind eye to the increasingly severe warning signs of the Victoria and Albert. The future Elizabeth II watched with interest how the handsome young man with yellow hair rowed hard, and how his father, King George, shouted loudly, "This damn fool" and how the Yugoslavia queen, who was standing next to him, was embarrassed when she heard the king's curse, and finally let Philip leave with a loud commanding voice of "Uncle Dicky" Mountbatten.
Elizabeth seemed to feel very sorry that her rowing was unable to participate in the race, which was probably a competition that the British upper class attached great importance to.
At this time, Elizabeth's eyes fell strangely on Wang Weiyi. Then he asked: "Hisser Baron, can you row boat?"
"Ah? I know a little." Wang Weiyi quickly realized what Elizabeth meant: "But, I don't know anything about competitions or something."
Sir Monlington and General Rosen's expressions also changed suddenly, which was really ridiculous.
Who is Ernstbrem? He is the legendary skeleton baron, the Grand Marshal of the German Empire, and he is a stomping figure who stomps his feet. He is the most honorable guest in Britain!
If Elizabeth really wants to use that brain, it will cause serious dissatisfaction among the guests and may even cause diplomatic disputes.
However, before they could stop them, Elizabeth had already opened her mouth and said, "There is no need to know anything. The only thing to do is to win the championship. Hey, Baron, I lack a rower now, and you happen to be able to rower. Are you willing to be my rower?"
This time, Sir Monlington and General Rosen were really shocked. Their eyes fell on Wang Weiyi in unison, for fear of arousing Baron Alexander's furiousness.
What's strange is that Wang Weiyi didn't look angry at all, but instead asked with interest: "So, what benefits can I do? Ah, I have to remind you first, Your Highness, I have no interest in money."
Princess Elizabeth immediately responded: "So. What do you need to be my rowing boater?"
"Look, I don't want to show off anything, but I'm the Grand Marshal of the German Empire after all. If you act as your rowing boater, it will be a joke." Wang Weiyi blinked his eyes: "Or that's it, I represent Germany. A German baron acts as the rowing boater of the British princess. Do you think this is appropriate?"
Princess Elizabeth was speechless. She was just suddenly interested and suddenly made such a request that seemed unreasonable.
It's really a pity. If it's really possible to hire the famous Skeleton Baron as his rowing boater, it would cause a sensation all over the world.
My name will surely be known to all Europe.
Unfortunately, if you think about it carefully, your thoughts are really unrealistic.
However, Wang Weiyi then said slowly: "It's not that there is no solution."
Princess Elizabeth suddenly became excited.
Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "I can act as your rowing boater and will help you get a good ranking as much as possible, but the only requirement is that I want to own the name of this boat. I have to own half of the 'Royal Princess' rowing shares. Although a rowing boat is not worth much, and when the competition is over, you have to publicly announce this."
Sir Monlington didn't even think about it and immediately shook his head quietly at Elizabeth.
Ernstbrem is too cunning. If the "Royal Princess" is owned by a heir to the future throne of England and a German baron, it would cause an uproar throughout Europe.
Many people immediately regard this as a change in relations between Britain and Germany
Although Sir Monlington is a pro-German sect, it does not mean that he is a traitor. Such matters must not be announced until the problems between Germany and Britain are properly resolved.
However, Elizabeth seemed to have not seen Sir Monlington's expression at all, but his face was filled with endless expectations: "Are you saying true, Baron?"
You must know how sensational it is to let the Skeleton Baron participate in the competition for him, and not everyone can have such a chance.
She probably didn't expect what impact would have had for Baron Alexanderson to possess the Royal Princess.
Or, she has some other intentions
Elizabeth seemed excited: "I agree with your request, but I also have another request. You must win the top three in this competition before I can announce it."
Wang Weiyi nodded with a smile.
To be honest, he was not sure to get a good ranking. He did practice rowing when he was training before, which required strength and skills. With his skills, the ranking would not be worse than that.
Moreover, my most critical purpose is not to win a ranking, but to own a yacht with Princess Elizabeth.
Even if Elizabeth doesn't announce it, she will find a way.
Sir Monlington and General Rosen were stunned. They had never expected such a result to happen. It was so terrible, so terrible that it would cause a storm, and maybe it would be a big storm.
Elizabeth's ridiculous idea would make Europe mess up. But what's even more deadly is that Baron Alexanderson doesn't seem to be willing to give up such an opportunity at all.
The Skeleton Baron is so smart that he knows when to seize what kind of opportunity. Once the opportunity appears, he will never give up.
Now, a problem will soon be placed in front of the British, especially the British government
The current British king George VI was called "Berty" by his family, and before he ascended the throne, he was called "Prince Albert" by the public. He was the second son of George V and Queen Mary. In 1920, he became Duke of York, Earl of Inverness and Baron Killarney. It seemed that he had no chance of inheriting the throne because of his elder brother. The very popular and intelligent Crown Edward was ahead of him in the succession ranking.
Because of this, Prince Albert was allowed to serve in the Royal Navy during World War I and had greater freedom when choosing a wife. In 1923, he finally married Elizabeth Bosleon after being rejected many times. Since they were unlikely to inherit the throne, the couple was able to raise their two daughters, Elizabeth and Margrit in a relatively normal environment.
Albert was very shy and suffered from severe stuttering throughout his life. He was very unhappy when he learned that his brother who succeeded to the throne in 1936 was finally decided to abdicate for marriage and would inherit the throne. On May 12, 1937, he ascended the throne at Westminster Abbey. He changed his name to George VI. In this way, he followed Queen Victoria's last wishes. After ascending the throne, all British monarchs could not be named "Albert". On the other hand, they also rebuilt public confidence in the royal family by using the same name as his father.
Two years later, World War II broke out, and the low-famous royal family hoped to be a role model for leading the country to victory, and they were indeed an important factor in maintaining the fighting spirit of the British people during World War II.
Now, the king suffering from severe stuttering looked at his daughter Elizabeth with loving eyes: "Has he agreed?"
"Yes, father, he agreed." Elizabeth nodded: "And as you imagined. He made some requests in order to show everyone that Germany and Britain are easing the tension in the war."
When Elizabeth said this, she looked respectful.
George VI smiled slightly: "Yes, as I expected. Tell me, what kind of person is Baron Alexanderson?"
"Is he?" Elizabeth thought for a moment: "A very young and attractive man. Father, I have to admit that he can fascinate many women by it. His conversation is a real gentleman. But the only thing that I can't understand is why you should use this method? Even the Prime Minister doesn't know."
"My child, I have to do this." George VI put away his smile: "I was forced to ascend to this position, and now the burden on me is getting heavier and heavier. Similarly, the pressure facing Britain is getting heavier and heavier. Maybe Churchill didn't tell me, but I am very clear about the current situation in Britain. Baron Alexand came with peace sincerity, and he also received support from many people, but at home, there are still many people who oppose any form of negotiation with Germany. Churchill and Monlington are under great pressure. In such a situation, someone needs to share something for them, and this person is me."
Elizabeth said in a daze: "But this will damage your reputation."
"Is that important, my child?" George VI smiled again, "I shouldn't have sat in this position, but since I became the king of England, I must be responsible for this country, no matter what price I have to pay for it. Elizabeth, when this matter was announced, it would cause a sensation and force the opposition into a very embarrassing situation, and I was ready to abdicate."
"What? Father, you can't abdicate!" Elizabeth shouted loudly: "This is unfair, unfair!"
"Elizabeth, don't be excited." George VI smiled calmly: "There is no absolutely fair thing, and each of us has to do something to end the war. When I abdicate, you will become the queen of England. I hope you can remember what I said to you. God has given us such rights, and all we can do is cherish it."
