Chapter 388: The truth is out, can you refuse?
How should I put it? Britain is a country with extremely inflated ambitions.
They were once glorious, having built an empire on which the sun never set. However, after World War II, they fell into decline.
Their relationship with Old Mi is very delicate.
They were defeated by the US in that war. That's how the US became independent. And, at one point, they even challenged the British.
To put it bluntly, these are the lackeys who ran away, and now they're riding on their heads and defecating on them.
Anyone would find this unbearable! However, Old Ying had no choice. Unable to win, he could only compromise.
Therefore, they have always been allies.
In fact, it's more accurate to say they're America's little brother than allies.
Who could tolerate being a lackey of their former servants? But unfortunately, they had no choice but to endure it.
Now, after listening to Old Mo's words, the Queen sitting above seemed to have finally realized something.
She stared intently at the old woman, her mind racing, before finally uttering a single sentence.
"Mr. Chen, I can grant your terms and even appoint a Chinese person as King of England. However, you must answer one question for me. You must tell me the truth."
Old Mo smiled and said, "That shouldn't be a problem. I'll answer you if I can. If I can't, then I can only apologize."
The Queen took a deep breath and asked, "Did you take the gold from Old America? How much did you take?"
This is a very important question.
If the US side has been emptied out, they must be in a complete mess right now.
Then this old Queen of England has nothing to fear. If you have no money, how can you wage war?
A toothless tiger has nothing to fear from you!
"Forehead?"
Everyone present was stunned. They never expected His Majesty to ask such a question.
Old Mo was also a bit speechless. Could he even answer that question?
Old Mo thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I can only tell you that it is true that the United States lost gold, probably several thousand tons!"
I can't tell you exactly who did it, but I can tell you that this information is absolutely true.
It turned out to be true.
The Queen was instantly stunned.
The prince was also stunned.
No wonder a country that has lost thousands of tons of gold is now hesitant to take a hard line.
When they came to request the extradition of Old Murdoch, the Queen refused.
In the past, their attitude would have been much tougher.
But this time, they were very docile.
I see, I see!
However, she then got a headache.
Although Lao Mo didn't directly admit it, it was tantamount to admitting that he was the one who did it.
In other words, they answered his question honestly.
Should we give him the princeship?
The Prince of Hong Kong! If he were given that position, he could practically do whatever he wanted in Hong Kong.
The Governor of Hong Kong and the Commander of Hong Kong, no matter what, had to bow respectfully to him.
Given Old Mo's abilities, with this title, the entire Hong Kong would practically belong to him.
The King of Hong Kong was personally appointed by His Majesty; who would dare to disrespect him?
Furthermore, a prince may even have his own small personal army.
So, when Old Mo returned to Hong Kong with this title, he truly became the King of Hong Kong!
What? You're saying Hong Kong will be returned to others in another twenty years or so?
Bullshit, it's only 1971 now, she never even thought about paying it back.
There has never been a Chinese prince in British history.
So, she was conflicted again.
Seeing her hesitate, Lao Mo quickly said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with my answer?"
The Queen finally realized what was happening and quickly said, "Mr. Chen, please calm down. Anne, I want to ask your opinion. Are you really sure you want to marry him? He has several wives. Are you sure you won't regret it?"
Old Mo looked at Princess Anne.
Princess Anne quickly stepped forward and said, "Mother, I'm sure I won't regret it. Please grant my request."
The Queen said, "Anne, you are a princess and have the right to inherit my position, putting everything else aside. By marrying a Chinese man, you have essentially disqualified yourself from competing for this position. Are you truly not regretful?"
No one would support a princess who marries a Chinese man to become queen.
Even marrying a Chinese person is not allowed. There's no way around it; in their eyes, Chinese people are considered too lowly.
Upon hearing this, Lao Mo became unhappy.
"Your Majesty, you can't say that. Why should marrying a Chinese person disqualify her from competing for this position?"
The Queen said calmly, "Mr. Chen, I know you're not convinced, but that's the reality, that's the state of the country. Without the support of nobles and officials, how could she possibly have a chance? Even if I passed it on to her, she wouldn't be able to hold her position; no one would listen to her."
The queen was quite patient and explained things very clearly to Old Murdoch.
Old Mo smiled and said, "With my support, that's the greatest, best, and most reliable support. What do you say, Your Majesty?"
The Queen frowned again.
If Lao Mo hadn't said that, she might have agreed already.
But now, she dares not agree.
If Princess Anne marries Murdoch, he'll likely use money to buy her way in. Coupled with his incredible abilities, Princess Anne might actually end up in her position.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. This saying is universally applicable in China, and it applies here as well.
It's quite fun in Britain; Princess Anne could make her husband king.
Yes, Her Majesty could have made her husband king. However, she didn't; she simply made him a prince.
Making a person of Asian descent their king is a bit of a joke.
No, even if Old Mo doesn't become king, his children will become kings in the future.
This is the real reason why they are unwilling to marry their princess to a man of Asian descent.
The thought sent a chill down the Queen's spine.
Seriously, there are just too many problems here.
Old Mo laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I know what you're thinking. Since you've already guessed it, you should know who has that gold. Can you really refuse me?"
The Queen paused for a moment, then realized what was happening.
Yes, Old Mo has thousands of tons of gold! Refusing him is like pushing that gold away.
Thousands of tons of gold! More than their national treasury and the gold in their banks.
He had thousands of tons of gold, so what if he became king? What happened?
This was clearly a calculated scheme, but she just couldn't refuse!
What? Capture Old Mo and take all those thousands of tons of gold for themselves?
But doing that is very dangerous!
They were able to get so much gold from the US, do you really think you can get your hands on it?
Her Majesty the Queen is numb.
The prince standing to the side was also stunned.
