That basic stall speed increases with the square root of the 'g' not 1.4x1.4Vs.

Therefore, at 2g the aircraft will stall at (squareroot of 2) 1.4142 x basic stall speed.

at 4g the aircraft will stall at (squareroot of 4) 2 x basic stall speed. etc

This equation of IAS and g loading will induce the critcial AoA which will cause the wing to stall. If it could be measured the absolute AoA required to stall the wing is the same whether straight and level or pulling 2g, 3g, 4g etc etc
Er, you simply restated what I said - that an aircraft at 1.4Vs will have no stall warning/etc at 1'g' but will at 2'g'.
