On the other side, an uninvited guest also came to the estate of former Prime Minister Chamberlain. Looking at the person in front of him, Chamberlain was stunned for a long time.

"Earl Spencer? Why are you here? Chamberlain was very impressed by this active earl in politics. He was a little surprised to see him now.

"Mr. Chamberlain, I am here on the orders of His Majesty the King, hoping that you can serve as Prime Minister of the Empire again."Earl Spencer said with a complicated expression. In fact, Chamberlain almost died of illness two years ago. He was finally rescued and has been living in seclusion in the manor since then. However, the leader of the Conservative Party still has a high reputation. If he can come out, even as a mascot, it will make Edward VIII's throne legitimate.

At this time, Chamberlain did not know that the Duke of Windsor was about to succeed to the throne, and thought that King George had asked him to come.

""Didn't Fatty Qiu do a good job?" Chamberlain said sarcastically. He had always looked down on Fatty Qiu. This prodigal son had basically ruined the foundation of the empire.

Although he stepped down with disgrace, at least he made an indelible contribution to the internal development. Otherwise, Fatty Qiu's prodigal methods would have long since failed.

"Not him, His Majesty King Edward VIII has declared his accession to the throne, and you will be the new Prime Minister of the British Empire." Earl Spencer explained

"Edward VIII? Duke of Windsor? He's back?"Chamberlain was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect it to be the Duke of Windsor. He was very familiar with this famous figure.

"Yes, His Majesty the King hopes that you will continue to serve as Prime Minister of the Empire. He has seen and remembered your contributions over the years."Earl Spencer said.

Hearing this, Chamberlain was moved. He finally met someone who understood him. He thought that apart from the great losses in foreign policy, he had worked hard on domestic development and was worthy of the title of Prime Minister.

Moreover, he was the Chancellor of the Exchequer when Edward VIII was King. He actually knew the king very well, but in the end, Chamberlain still refused.

"I'm old"

"Mr. Chamberlain, this is a letter written by His Majesty the King himself. He said that after you read it, you will definitely not refuse it."Earl Spencer handed over a letter respectfully and said.

With curiosity, Chamberlain took the letter, opened it, and the more he looked at it, the more his face changed. After a long time, he sighed and said slowly:"Tell His Majesty the King that I agree."

In fact, the content of the letter was very simple, just one sentence, promoting Chamberlain to the Duke, hereditary succession, and the fief of Birmingham. This honor was very high, and it was really difficult for him to refuse. At his age, although he had let go of everything, he still had to consider his descendants. He couldn't be like him, who almost couldn't afford the tuition.

………

In London, the fire has been put out. Although it was severely damaged, most of the main body is still there. As long as it is cleaned up later, it is not difficult to restore the previous appearance.

Buckingham Palace has not suffered any damage. After all, it is a symbol of the royal family. The bombing of German fighter planes is also very particular. Some places cannot be bombed randomly.

At this time, the Duke of Windsor, who should not be called Edward VIII, stood in front of the gate of Buckingham Palace with a complicated mood. He returned here again six years later.

Thinking of the way he left six years ago, and looking at the way he came back, there seems to be no big difference.

"David, don't worry, I will always be with you."Mrs. Simpson said solemnly while holding Edward VIII's arm.

Hearing this, Edward VIII was moved. He had lived through so many hardships over the years, but she still stayed with him without any complaints. He must make her the happiest woman in the world.

"Don't worry, it's nothing." Edward shook his head and said.

But when he pushed open the palace gate and looked at the nobles standing on both sides, Edward's eyes were full of disbelief. He originally thought that no one would come, but there were so many people welcoming him.

There were many familiar faces among them, and many of them were his childhood playmates.

Mrs. Simpson beside him was a little nervous and at a loss when she saw so many people.

"I'll take care of everything." Edward said with a smile:"Long time no see, my old friends"

""Your Majesty, we are all looking forward to your return. Only you are worthy of leading the entire British Empire." In the distance, Short, who had just been promoted to earl, said excitedly.

And the greatest contributor, the Duke of Spencer, said respectfully:"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne, and His Holiness the Pope will crown you."

Next was a series of coronation ceremonies. Since Edward had been crowned before, all the procedures were very familiar. Another coronation was just to show the people that Edward VIII's throne was legal and unquestionable.

At this moment, Simpson will also become the queen of the British Empire, and will become one of the most noble women in the world.

At this time, Simpson was very happy, nestling in Edward's arms, and many people were envious.

After the coronation ceremony, Edward VIII said with a serious expression:"Next, let's discuss some urgent matters. We need to rebuild the capital and restore it to normal."

The war not long ago left North London in a mess, but when Fatty Qiu evacuated, not only did various institutions evacuate with him, but even banks moved with him.

Therefore, Edward VIII is now very poor and has no money.

It doesn't matter that he has no money.

All the nobles present are rich people, and many of them have just been promoted.

When it comes to expressing their loyalty, the Duke of Spencer immediately stood up and said,"Your Majesty, cleaning up and rebuilding London is the first thing you will do when you take office.

We will definitely support you.

Please rest assured that each of our families will contribute a sum of money to help clean up London.

"���What do you think?"

As soon as the voice fell, the newly promoted County King Cavendish immediately expressed his willingness to donate 10 million pounds to support the development of the empire.

The rest of the nobles donated hundreds of thousands of pounds, and the most donated millions of pounds. It didn't take long for 1 billion pounds to be raised. It must be said that although these old nobles have little power, they have a very strong foundation. They can easily raise 1 billion pounds.

With this money, the preliminary work can at least be carried out. When everything becomes stable, the treasury will slowly be filled, and there is no need to worry about money.

""Prince of Cavendish." After solving the money problem, Edward VIII turned his attention to Cavendish.

This ancient family is considered to be an old noble family in the British Empire. They are very powerful. From the fact that they just donated 10 million pounds easily, we can see that they have a strong foundation.

"Your Majesty!"

"I appoint you as the Minister of Defense. Go and wipe out the guerrillas everywhere and form a new Royal Army."Edward VIII said in a calm but unquestionable tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty."King Cavendish's eyes flashed with excitement. The army finally regained its royal title.

"Your Majesty, I want to ask you, are we still allowed to have an army? Won't our territory be ceded?"

Although France on the other side surrendered, half of its territory was gone. They didn't want this. After all, three-fifths of the country's territory belonged to the nobles. If the territory was ceded, these nobles would never agree and would rather fight to the end.

"The army will continue to be maintained, but the number will not exceed 200,000, with all branches of the military, including the Royal Navy, the Air Force"

"The territory will remain the same, but our ports will need to be shared with the Third Reich, and they will station no more than 100,000 troops."

"In addition, the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal must be handed over to them, and there are no other conditions."Edward VIII said calmly, and at the same time took out the contract, which had been signed.

"This is the contract. I have already signed it. All that is missing is the royal seal. If you think it is OK, you can stamp it."

King Cavendish took the contract and took a closer look. He found that it was indeed as Edward VIII said.

"It seems that the conditions are much more relaxed than those in France."King Cavendish nodded.

The other nobles also circulated the contract to each other. Some of them had studied law and found that there was no trap at all. They nodded in agreement.

As for the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, they were too far away from them. Although they could bring huge profits every year, they could not be kept without strength.

"If you think there is no problem, then stamp it. Edward VIII asked again

"No problem, Your Majesty." The nobles, led by the Prince of Cavendish, shouted in unison.

The next step was the appointment of various departments. All the nobles who had defected to Edward VIII were appointed, which made the nobles very happy.

On the other side, Augustus' face was also full of joy after receiving the news:"Next, it's time for Spain to make a choice."
