Last year, the US media exposed the “operation London Bridge”, which was listed as Britain’s top secret. It means that once the queen dies, her private secretary will use “London Bridge is down” as a secret language, first inform the Prime Minister of the news, and then inform the government and the military senior level one by one. Then there will be a series of arrangements. In this regard, the British royal family was angry, but there was no way. This secret was probably deliberately leaked by the core figures of Britain. Because Prince Philip had just passed away in April last year, the media took the opportunity to fry him.
In fact, this so-called secret word should have two meanings: one is respect for the queen, which is the same as the word “death” used by ancient Chinese emperors; The other is to prevent the media from disclosing information too early, leaving public opinion in a disorderly state.
In fact, the Queen’s body was hit hard at the beginning of this year, that is, she was infected with covid-19 in February. The queen claimed that her condition after contracting covid-19 was very bad, and it was reported that she was in poor health in March. This time, the news suddenly came that he was in “medical custody”, and members of the royal family rushed to Scotland. In the words of Dickie abit, the Queen’s former press secretary, this kind of situation is “extremely rare”, and the BBC anchor changed into a black tie and a black suit early… Sure enough, a few hours later, the “London Bridge” really “collapsed”.
The queen is 96 years old, and she was seriously damaged by covid-19 at the beginning of the year, so it is not surprising that she passed away. However, just two days before her death, she also graciously received the new prime minister truss. Only two days after receiving truss, the Queen passed away.
The queen died just two days after truss took office. Although it was only a coincidence, objectively speaking, it was really unlucky. The fundamental reason for this bad luck for Britain is that Britain not only lost a queen who played a stabilizing role in the overall situation, but also came up with an extremely radical and unstable prime minister. Can such a Britain be good?
With the death of the queen, Britain has at least three major strategic losses:
1? Britain’s national status will decline
Elizabeth II is no ordinary person. She succeeded to the throne in 1952 and has been in power for more than 70 years. She is the longest reigning monarch in British history. After her coronation in 1953, she and her husband Prince Philip visited many countries. She was the most visited monarch in British history. She spent half a year traveling the world from 1953 to 1954, visiting colonies such as Australia and New Zealand, and visited the United States and Canada in 1957 and 1959. Objectively speaking, her visits after World War II stabilized Britain’s status and strengthened its relations with the Commonwealth countries, which were seriously weakened by the two world wars. She also often attended Commonwealth summits.
In fact, after World War II, the relationship between Britain and the colonies has been very weak. In order to stabilize Britain’s influence, her father established the Commonwealth organization. With her efforts, the number of members of the Commonwealth organization has increased from 8 to 54.
After more than half a century, the Commonwealth organization has been weakened due to the decline of British strength. Many Commonwealth countries have long thought of withdrawing, but due to the Queen’s face, there is no practical operation. However, with the death of the queen, many Commonwealth countries may consider withdrawing from the Commonwealth organization and breaking away from the special relationship with the United Kingdom, which is undoubtedly a great loss to British influence.
2? The declining influence of the British royal family has a serious negative impact on the stability of British politics
Compared with the queen, the influence and image of his son Charles are too far away. In particular, the death of Princess Diana in a car accident has been hyped up too much by the media, which has weakened Charles’s authoritative image. Therefore, the consequence of the Queen’s death is that the influence of the Royal family has dropped significantly.
The decline of the influence of the British royal family will be a serious harm to the stability of British politics. All along, although the queen never interferes in politics, her high status in Britain and even the world makes all British political figures respect her. However, now that she is gone, the influence of newly crowned king Charles can not be compared with that of the queen, which will make more British politicians ignore the existence of the royal family and become more extreme and unscrupulous in political behavior.
In fact, the queen does not like a particularly radical and iron fisted female prime minister, and the prime minister she dislikes most is Margaret Thatcher. If she dislikes Thatcher the most, then she may dislike truss, who is called the “new Iron Lady”. Moreover, truss is much more radical than Thatcher. Now, the influence of the royal family is weakening, which will strengthen the influence and power of the British government. When extremists like truss are encountered, the stability of British politics will be greatly reduced.
As a matter of fact, since Britain’s “brexit”, the stability of the British political arena has begun to decline, and by the time Boris Johnson was in office, both domestic and international were in turmoil. Now, there is another more demon like truss. Coupled with the death of the queen, British politics has undoubtedly entered the most turbulent period in decades. Even with the death of the queen, if the royal family can no longer maintain the stability of British politics and social politics, it is difficult to say whether it will ultimately affect the British constitutional monarchy. If Britain’s constitutional monarchy also collapses in the future, there will undoubtedly be greater turbulence.
3? It is unfavorable to the social stability of Britain
After the outbreak of the Russian Ukrainian war, serious problems have begun to appear in the social stability of the whole of Europe. In the past few days, there have been large-scale demonstrations in the Czech Republic and Germany. It is still warm now. When the weather is cold, in the face of energy shortage and serious inflation, the whole of Europe will have serious turbulence.
The situation in Britain is already very bad. The inflation rate has exceeded 10%, and it will certainly be higher in winter. The problem is that the new prime minister truss has not focused on domestic affairs, but on how the Russian Ukrainian war can enhance Britain’s influence. Given Britain’s current national strength and economic capacity, if the new prime minister still pretends to be a big deal like this, there is no doubt that his internal affairs will collapse. Therefore, it is difficult to say how long Britain’s internal stability can last. It is likely that new major turbulence will occur in the future and even within a year.
In fact, for Britain, a really serious problem is that the Queen’s national stabilizer has fallen, and there is another demon prime minister. It is really troublesome when combined! Moreover, because the UK rushes too hard, its relations with Europe may deteriorate further, and there may be a rift with the United States. All these are extremely unfavorable to the UK.
However, even so, the new British Prime Minister’s attitude towards China is also very unfriendly. If she shows a particularly Anti China side next, Britain will really be in bad luck! Because Britain, which can no longer afford to do so, has met such a demon capable prime minister, and the Queen’s death, this may add up to a serious problem.
Next, let’s watch the performance of the new prime minister after the Queen’s death. This female prime minister, who died less than three days after taking office, will certainly bring a lot of new tricks to Britain! I personally look forward to Tesla… No, truss!
