“Isn’t this bad?”

“What’s wrong with that?”

In Berlin, there were actually differences of opinion within the empire regarding the selection of the new queen of the British Empire.

Mainz proposed that George V’s granddaughter, Elizabeth, who was now two and a half years old, should be the new queen.

But this proposal was opposed by everyone.

Himmler felt that he had to remind his own head of state at this time, and said,”Although everyone knows that even if the British Empire is restored, it is just a puppet in our hands, but even so, we cannot go too far on the surface and let a child who is only two and a half years old be the new king.

Even an idiot can see that she is a puppet we have supported.

Not only will this not be recognized by the British Empire, but it will also provoke their resistance.

I think this is not worth the loss!

”

Not only Himmler, but Propaganda Minister Goebbels also stood on his side at this time.

After hearing what Himmler said, Goebbels nodded in deep agreement and said:

“Yes, Mr. President, the two-year-old girl is really too young, and this candidate is really not suitable. If you want to choose a suitable candidate, there are actually many other options, such as the children of King Edward VII, including Princess Victoria, Prince Alexander, Princess Louise, etc.!”

“They are all brothers and sisters of George V. The reputation of these people is not much lower than that of George V. If they are supported, then others will have nothing to say!”

Mainz glanced at the others and found that they all nodded, obviously opposing his proposal.

They were all very confused. They didn’t know why their head of state insisted on nominating this two-year-old girl. This little girl was obviously not suitable to be the queen of the British

Empire! Mainz touched his nose. How to explain this? Should he tell these people that this little girl would be the longest-ruling queen of the British Empire in the future?

This kind of thing obviously couldn’t be said, but these people’s attitudes were so consistent. It seemed that his proposal did have some problems.

“So, who do you think is more suitable among the remaining few people?”

Since the young Elizabeth cannot choose, then we can only choose a few other people.

Everyone looked at Himmler. After the British Empire was captured, all the royal families of the British Empire fell into the hands of the German army. Because of their special identities, these people were not imprisoned with ordinary prisoners of war. They were all secretly escorted back to Berlin by the SS and imprisoned in a castle on the outskirts of Berlin.

Himmler coughed lightly and said,”Among George V’s brothers, Prince Alexander died a long time ago, Princess Maud is not in Europe at this time, but in North America, and Princess Louise fled to South Asia with George V. The only princess in our hands is Princess Victoria.”

Princess Victoria was born in 168 and is just 60 years old this year. She is three years younger than George V. There is no problem in letting him succeed to the throne. If she succeeds, it should be Victoria II.

“but……”

Just when Mainz was about to make a decision, Himmler came to intervene!

“”But what?”

Goebbels asked, frowning.”Why are you panting so hard when you speak?

Can’t you just say it all in one breath?”

“But Princess Victoria is in poor health. I’m afraid she won’t last for a few years. Even if we put her on the throne now, I’m afraid it won’t be long before we have to consider replacing her!”

Himmler’s words left everyone speechless. Why didn’t you say this earlier? Isn’t this a waste of everyone’s expression?

“Are there any other suitable candidates?”

Mainz rolled his eyes at Himmler, who smiled awkwardly, then lowered his head and touched his nose.

When everyone heard Mainz’s words, they all frowned and thought. George V’s brothers and sisters did not seem to be suitable at the moment, so they could not choose among them. If they could not choose from these people, they could only choose from his offspring. However, the number of George V’s children who fell into the hands of the German army was very small, and these people were one generation lower than George V. If they were supported, they might lose a lot in prestige!

This is obviously not conducive to the fight for the orthodox status of the British Empire. Therefore, everyone felt that the method of selecting the heir to the throne from the children of King George V was not feasible!

“Führer, we don’t necessarily need to choose from the members of the British royal family!”

Ribbentrop, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

This sentence was like opening a skylight for everyone, and immediately aroused heated discussion among everyone!

“Yes, how could I have forgotten about this!”

“That’s right. Didn’t the Holy Roman Empire also select its emperor from among the imperial elects?”

“That’s right, and until now, there are still many countries in Europe whose kings are succeeded by nobles from other countries, such as the king of Romaniya!”

Everyone started talking at once, and the atmosphere became lively.

In fact, the royal family in Europe is not fixed, especially for the defeated countries.

If they are defeated in the war, their kings are very likely to be exiled, and then the country will either change the political system, abolish the monarchy, and adopt a republic, or choose a person from the nobles of other countries to succeed the king.

The nobles from other countries have no blood relationship with the local royal family, which is basically equivalent to a change of dynasty.

However, this kind of thing is quite common in Europe, and no one thinks it’s a big deal.

After all, the interests of the nobles will not be greatly damaged by the change of the king. As long as the king does not touch their cake, the nobles do not care who will be the king!

Of course, the nobles of the British Empire at this time were severely damaged in the war and had been wiped out. Moreover, the powerful Third Reich stood behind the new king. Even if there was a conflict with their interests, they would not dare to be dissatisfied!

Therefore, the Third Reich did not need to follow the rules to select an heir from the original royal family members of the British Empire. They could completely choose a noble from their own nobles to inherit the throne!

“Führer, I think there is someone who is extremely suitable. She is a noble and well-known in the Third Reich. Most importantly, her interests are highly tied to the empire and you, so she will never betray you!”

When Ribbentrop put forward the previous point of view, he obviously already had a suitable candidate in mind!

And from his confident look, it can be seen that he thinks the Führer will be very satisfied with the person he chose!

“Oh? Who is it?”

Mainz asked with a smile. Ribbentrop was so confident that he couldn’t help but become curious!

“Elizabeth von Levinsky!”
