Officially appointing Tras as the new British Prime Minister, Queen Elizabeth completed her last job as King of the United Kingdom, and when she was finally mentally prepared to unload the burden of 70 years, the last pillar of life disappeared. With the death of the Queen of England, the last spiritual pillar of Britain will also disappear, the Commonwealth system that the Queen has painstakingly maintained will also face a severe test, and the old colonial system created by The United Kingdom is about to go to the grave, but this does not mean that colonial imperialism will disappear, and the threat of a new colonial empire era is approaching us.
The end of the old colonial system
After the Queen's death, even Britain, which had become one with this spiritual totem, began to undergo a painful process of de-queenization. These include as many as £4.5 billion in banknotes and coins, the Queen's head, the British national anthem, flags, the official appointment and oath-taking process and even the Church's prayers, with more than 600 businesses working with the British Royal Family losing their best spokespersons and soon removing all Queen-related signs.
This tossing down will consume a lot of British financial resources, making the United Kingdom, which is in a double crisis of energy and economy, worse. But this is not the most worrying situation for Britain, the most worrying thing for Britain is the disintegration of the entire British Commonwealth, although this disintegration has long begun after Ireland's secession from the Commonwealth, but when the Queen is still there, with the prestige of the Queen, Britain can still maintain a fragile colonial imperial system of 56 countries and regions, and once the Queen is gone, the Commonwealth will lose its last centripetal force.
Jamaica and Belize are currently considered to be the countries most at risk of secession from the Commonwealth, including Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines all with a more or less tendency to secede from the Commonwealth. And even within the Commonwealth, where the Queen is still there, member states will not regard the British monarch as a "co-owner", only 14 of the 56 members will regard the Queen as their own monarch, and it is difficult to say how many will be left after the Queen's death.
With the further decline of Britain's economic strength, the core position of the United Kingdom in the Commonwealth will also be shaken, especially after India's GDP has just surpassed the United Kingdom this year, the mockery of the United Kingdom by Indian netizens and the hysteria of british netizens towards India reflect the embarrassment of the United Kingdom today. For ambitious India, just as Prince Charles succeeded queen, India will also try to seek leadership in the Commonwealth system, just as India seeks dominance in the former colonies of South Asia, which is obviously intolerable to the West. If Britain could tolerate this, it would not prevent Sunak, the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Indian descent, from becoming Prime Minister of The United Kingdom.
Of course, the highest risk is the United Kingdom itself, the natural "anti-bone" Scotland's pursuit of independence is beyond reproach, and Northern Ireland, which has always been devoted to the United Kingdom, also has a tendency to leave, which makes the United Kingdom very headache. In addition, there is a Wales who has never been named, secretly observing, if the United Kingdom continues to be so bad, it is not excluded that Wales will also join the ranks.
The threat of the neo-colonial era
Will Britain sink here? That is not necessarily, the queen's death represents the end of a relatively peaceful era in Britain, people may have forgotten that Britain is one of the most belligerent and most warlike countries in the world, even in Elizabeth's time Britain still fought a lot of battles, although many people think that Britain is the war follower of the United States, but you can not deny the fact that the British army has accumulated a lot of valuable practical experience in these wars, which many great powers do not have.
Every time Britain was in decline, it always relied on war to turn itself around. This time will not be an exception, Britain will definitely not sit still, and the next Britain will definitely make a big fuss about the war in Ukraine and East Asia. The purpose of constantly instigating war is not to say that Britain is ready to send itself into the fire pit of war at all costs, but to try to put the three powers of China, the United States and Russia, as well as regional powers such as the European Union, Japan and India, into a fight, and to find room for Britain to rise again by provoking their war.
Britain has always spared no effort and succeeded in digging the foot of the wall, such as the British intercepting French and Australian nuclear submarine orders, successfully digging the Belgian trustee Rwanda into the Commonwealth in 2009, and taking away France's former colonies of Togo and Gabon in 2022, further reducing France's sphere of influence in Africa.
The UK is still strong in terms of soft power such as ideology, international media discourse, intelligence capabilities and technological strength. Don't say that soft power is useless, even if today's Britain has been made like this, there are still many people in the world who have become spiritual Britons, because they have long received the repeated beautification of Britain by the English media, and once the stereotype of people is formed, unless he can personally go to Britain to feel what is called human consumables and the collapse of faith, these spiritual Britons are difficult to change.
These are the capital of the British to overturn, and if you want to completely overturn Britain, you must further strengthen your military strength. At present, the development of the British army is seriously limited and its own economic strength status decline is directly related, but the British have not given up military reform, now the United Kingdom almost completely abandoned all of its traditional equipment, and the treasure is pressed on the artificial intelligence unmanned combat equipment, once the reform is successful, the British in terms of military strength and economic disadvantages will be wiped out, even if it can not become a superpower again, the rise to become a regional military power that can not be underestimated is still possible.
When the British military was restored, it was not impossible to reconquerature the colonies and launch a new colonial war. Unlike the Queen's soft-hearted policy, the current British Conservative government has become impatient and tougher with anti-colonial attitudes and anti-racism, while the rise of neo-colonial imperialism in the West, which is dominated by white supremacy, is a very dangerous signal.
