Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne ~

On December 26, 1867, on the mainland of the Far East of the Netherlands, Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, in a class of Class 02, a senior at the University of Sydney.

Mr. Bit faced the famous "thornhead" Abraham in the class. Kaibo's "provocation" finally met.

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands has developed in a low-key manner in the past few years, and has already ranked first in Europe in terms of economic quality. Although it cannot be compared with the British Empire in terms of quantity, it cannot compare with the same old-fashioned power as the French Empire and the emerging Kingdom of Prussia. In addition, The annual output of industrial goods in the Netherlands is overwhelming that of other countries.

This is due to the Netherlands' dedication to economic development, absorbing the latest technology from various countries, and avoiding offending European countries.

However, there is a bottleneck stage in any career. The Netherlands is too small. William IV fully supported the cabinet government to move to the Far East and expand the potential of the Netherlands. These are the inevitable choices of the Netherlands on the road to the rise of a great power. I don't think any country in Europe would think that His Majesty William IV's actions were wrong. On the contrary, countries have different thoughts about it.

The Netherlands has obtained the resources of the Far East. According to the strength of the Netherlands' own technology and a population of tens of millions, if it really wants to continue to develop with great concentration, it will not be a problem to double its population in 20 years.

20 million Dutch! Similar to what is now Spain and Italy and the Ottoman Empire.

Combined with the country's proven practice of integrating indigenous peoples from the Netherlands, with a population of nearly 40 million indigenous people, the potential is absolutely staggering.

The Netherlands is currently promoting universal secondary education. If you think about it, in 20 years, if you count the tens of millions of people who receive secondary education, the Netherlands' national strength will be comparable to that of the world's powerful countries, but not weak.

This is a threat to all countries. Therefore, to check and balance the Netherlands, I think it will be the next step for countries, especially countries such as Britain, France, and the Commonwealth.

Of course, this is just a potential threat. After all, for Britain, France and Tsarist Russia are the opponents.

For France, the rising Prussia and Britain are rivals, and the Netherlands is just touching the lion's butt.

Of course, it's the kind that makes lions very disgusted. "

"Can I think that the teacher meant to say that the Netherlands took the lead in sanctioning the French Empire, and the French Empire did not dare to go all out to deal with the Netherlands, so she chose to ignore it?

Or is he afraid of facing several opponents at the same time, so he chose to 'forgive' the Netherlands? "

Abraham. Kebble continued to ask.

It was like this, Bit helplessly looked at the hateful guy in front of him. Every time, dozens of problems could be derived from such a problem, and the problems were endless.

Mr. Beet continued to laugh against his will and replied: "Abraham is a good question. In fact, Napoleon III is very happy according to European sayings, but in my opinion, sometimes His Majesty Napoleon III just likes to maintain the glory of the French Empire, but The method is wrong.

I don't know if all the classmates have noticed that Napoleon III has a characteristic, do any classmates know about it? "

Speaking of which, Mr. Bit looked proudly at the students under the stage, seeing that no one answered, just when he was about to speak.

"Teacher, is it that Napoleon III likes to make friends far and near in foreign policy?"

Mr. Bit's posture with his big mouth was fixed, and he looked at Abraham in disbelief. Kebble, with surprise in his eyes.

Teacher Bit's expression made everyone look at Abraham. Kebble, needless to say, they had guessed that the latter was right.

After a while, Mr. Bit calmed down and hurriedly asked, "How did you guess?"

At this time, you still use guessing to describe it?

Mr. Bit still loves face as always.

Abraham. The corners of Kaib's mouth pouted slightly, and he said confidently: "Napoleon III has ruled the French Empire for these years, including the Civil War in Milan, participating in the Crimean War with the United Kingdom to fight the Russian Empire, fighting the Austrian Empire in Italy, and taking advantage of the Milanese Civil War. Internal contradictions and Europe's opposition to the Monroe Doctrine of Millikin, the invasion of southern Mexico, the colonization of Africa, and the invasion of the Kingdom of Siam, etc., were all accomplished during the period of Napoleon III, while on the mainland. Except for the Belgian issue some time ago, the use of and The cooperation of the Netherlands and Prussia won the southern provinces of Belgium, and almost never had any major disputes with neighboring countries.

So, teacher, I think that what Napoleon III practiced was to attack far and near,"

When Mr. Bit heard the words, he agreed with this statement.

"Teacher, why don't we go back to the topic just now. What is the impact of the Netherlands' participation in sanctions against the French Empire at this time?"

Bit: "Of course there is an impact, it doesn't depend on the situation. If the Netherlands is currently being repressed by a powerful country, the French Empire may turn around to deal with the Netherlands after the Siamese Kingdom War is stopped, but I think His Majesty William IV We have considered France's response to this problem, and there should be a plan to deal with it, so we don't need to worry about the French Empire.”

"According to the teacher, isn't the difficulty in the Netherlands lies in the French Empire?"

"Yes~www.mtlnovel.com~ I am surprised by Prussia's attitude towards the Netherlands. I don't know if my classmates have understood it. Some time ago, Prussia just completed the second covenant with the Netherlands, and it is still in the Gulf of Oman on the Arabian Sea. Cooperation and coordination in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Under such circumstances, Prussia chose to make a knife in the back at this time. Although it did not come to the fore, it was enough to make the situation facing us in the Netherlands fall into the disadvantage.

At this time, how the Dutch government and the Dutch royal family respond will get very different results.

Prussia's approach is so strange that it's hard to fathom. For such an opponent, the Netherlands must be careful to prescribe the right medicine, or else they may be swayed by others and won't know about it. "

"The teacher's view of Prussia is negative on this issue, so Prime Minister Bismarck's actions against the Netherlands are obviously a surprise attack from the old view."

"Yes, you describe it well, Prussia has just annexed the German Confederation, the Netherlands is close at hand, and the danger index is actually very high, the position of the Netherlands in the Atlantic Ocean is destined to be jealous of Prussia, and the British and French Empire will stop Prussia's actions, you know me What do you guys say, however, Prussia obviously also knew that this idea was not desirable, so it was absolutely serious that Britain and France would prevent them from invading the Netherlands.

Of course, the Netherlands' military strength is not what it used to be. The price of Prussia's invasion of the Netherlands is absolutely high. If nothing else, Prussia will face the threat of intervention from Tsarist Russia, AustriHungary, Britain, France, Sweden and other countries. "
