Chapter 825 (1/2)
Windsor Castle, located in Windsor Maidenhead, Berkshire, southeast England, is the family castle of the Royal Windsor Dynasty.
However, from today on, these have become history, Windsor Castle will become the property of the Grand Duchess of Luxemburg.
Of course, it was claimed that it was the transfer of assets within the royal family. Li Zitao bought the castle at a ”high price”.
All arms previously delivered, including CGT and its cruise ships, were transferred to the Windsor royal family.
With the exception of Princess Adelaide, which was handed over to L.C.A (Lee C. Astor shipyard), the rest, together with the Queen Mary, was included.
It seems a bit of a loser to exchange tens of millions of assets and weapons for an ancient castle, but Li Zitao likes this castle.
The family castle of the British royal family is now his private property. It's nice to think about it.
Money?
What is money? It's for spending!
Besides, he is not without harvest. For example, the royal family's shares in Royal Dutch Shell will be transferred to him at a premium.
This is a private investment by Li Zitao and has nothing to do with a series of strategic cooperation agreements between Mobil and shell.
The board of directors of shell has always been on guard against him. He does not want to see Li Zitao intervene in shell's affairs in his own name or even be listed on the board of directors.
But in the end, he still got what he wanted, which was more perfect than his plan.
With 7.36% of the shares, Li Zitao became the largest individual shareholder of shell, not to mention the directors of shell, not to mention himself.
To this end, I would also like to thank his Majesty George VI, for the Windsor royal family seems to have a lot of information, ”would you like to find a chance to cut some more fat oil down to wash the pot?”
It was the unbearable humiliation of his dignity that made George VI decide to transfer the family castle to the Duke of Luxemburg.
He was the king of the British Empire and the commander-in-chief of the most powerful empire in Europe.
Let alone let him escape abroad to form a government in exile.
Maybe people from other countries and royal families can bear it, but he can't. He is different from other royal nobles and Britain is also different from other countries.
It was for this reason that George VI changed his mind and supported Churchill. He put down his face and called Li Zitao to get his help.
Of course, the effect is remarkable.
With the planes and cruise ships sent by Li Zitao, the situation in Britain was immediately stabilized, and both George VI and Churchill were confident of the great retreat.
We should know that six 5-ton cruise ships can become aircraft carriers immediately after modification, and it is the best platform for carrying lightning.
Before that, however, they must first find enough pilots to bring the 300000 troops across the border back to British territory.
…………
Dunkirk.
The beach is full of frustrated soldiers, photographing long dragons along the extended coastline.
The breakwater is full of soldiers waiting to evacuate, but their eyes no longer twinkle with hope.
The sky is the enemy's interceptors, from time to time there will be bombers appear above, shells and machine guns swept by.
When they show up, all the British and French forces can do is lie down on their heads and pray.
