Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 12

For many people in later generations, for the sake of money, they can do anything by any means, but the premise is that they do not break the law.

But for some people with high morals, the former is the most disdainful, because to sum up in one sentence, it is full of copper stench!

As for the Belgians in 1862, the former favorite among the above two people was Marie Philippe.

Marie Philip was born in Limburg, Belgium in 1810. He was a member of the Kingdom of the Netherlands for the first five years after his birth. After Napoleon was defeated, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was assigned to the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815. He began to become the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Derain, fortunately this time, he has been a prosperous Dutch Kingdom for 15 years, but after 1830, he became a Belgian Kingdom again, and this time he became a Belgian Kingdom Liberal as a Belgian Principality Liberal .

Afterwards, he used his methods to slowly become a star politician in Hasselt, Limburg. He was a man of the hour in Belgium at that time. In 1849, Belgium's prime minister candidate, liberal leader, and fellow senator from Limburg province, Henri De Bruquere, took a fancy to him and invited him to be a campaign adviser.

Since then, he has soared into the sky, and he has become a close friend and aide of the Limburg senator.

In 1850, Henri de Bruquet was successfully elected as the Prime Minister of Belgium. For a time, he became the figure of thousands of Belgian consortiums and nobles.

And he's open to anyone, and he's the quintessential representative of the filthiest and darkest side of Brussels politics.

If there is something to say about the word fu, then the photo of Marie Philippe is the most recognized choice by the Belgians.

But no one denies that his 'talent' is the favorite and most exciting of all careerists.

He used his carefully woven friendships and his role as Senator Bruker's secretary, later adviser to the president, and an insider on national development to become the owner of hotel after hotel, machinery sales company, real estate company, and more. secret shareholders.

He likes to talk about pomp and circumstance. When he travels, he always chooses the most luxurious way.

But don't underestimate him. While enjoying it, he also took advantage of such occasions to play various roles with ease, just like the role he played for his patron of the Prime Minister.

It is a pity that after he failed to run for a second term at the end of Henri de Bruquet's term in 1853, in the autumn of 1854, when the Catholic Pierre de Brucker came to power, his various wishes The abacus was shattered, the future was in tatters, and the shrewd and cunning aide to the prime minister was charged with tax evasion. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but he was released early on January 1, 1856, on January 1, 1856. Came out in less than 2 years.

But because of his case, many people kept him at a distance, especially those who bowed their heads in front of him in the past, but now shake their heads and sneer in front of him. Do you really fear his revenge?

Or do you think he really doesn't have the capital to turn over the book?

However, when he thought of the situation at that time, he felt relieved, but after years of training, he recovered quickly.

However, when he thinks of the person he has helped during this time, he is a little horrified. The Netherlands has hidden such a number one person in Belgium, which is an amazing talent in the political arena. In his opinion, this person is too suitable for him to partner with, even Compared with the original Henri de Bruquet, he was more moved. His cooperation between the two no longer had the psychology of being forced from a low position, but the excitement from the depths of his heart, which was a kind of more than a husband and wife. A more in tune with each other.

Yes, the Dutch helped him get out of prison early, on the condition that he was asked to help a candidate formulated by the Netherlands to help him quickly move up the ranks, until the Prime Minister of Belgium.

And now the position of the person he supports is the senator of West Flanders, whose name is Jules Danetang, who is the person designated by the Netherlands.

And now this man is sitting across from him. Looking at the young man who was only 30 years old and energetic, Marie Philip was very envious. well! It seems that the original positioning was wrong, he should also be more positive, take less dark roads, and maybe be able to avoid the current life of other people's staff.

On the other hand, Jules Danetang, who was opposite him, looked at Mari Pu, who was even more dazzling, his heart was fluctuating, and he was full of pride!

Philip is still the same Philip. Although the scenery is gone, he is still so rebellious. In any case, although Philip used to be unbearable, it is undeniable that he is first and foremost a guy with a keen political sense. His slightly sarcastic eyes can see how things work, and he knows where the "treasure" is bought, whether on land or in the sea.

However, in terms of his ability in this regard, he was not the most wanted supporter of Jules Danetang before. In fact, what he wanted more was another No. 2 dark game in the Netherlands, because he knew that the opponent's righteousness was bright. The strategy, which has already made a name for himself in Belgium, is enough to make his candidacy more decent and give Belgians more favor, instead of doing anything for the election as is currently arranged, which makes his image, It can only be changed from the image that was originally in the middle, not biased towards the dark and too bright. Now with the two years of violence in Mali, Philip is his advisor and has to move closer to the former. Gradually, the halo turns black. Fortunately, the two The cooperation between the two countries has made some great achievements. For example, West Flanders has now become the most prosperous province in Belgium except Flanders Brabant, where the capital Brussels is located.

And his various support for West Flanders in the Belgian senators has been appreciated by West Flanders, and the support is even higher. Another election is not a problem. However, he does not want to try the Senate anymore. Because he wanted to directly challenge the position of Prime Minister, that is, the Prime Minister's election campaign on April 20, 1862, three months later. For this reason, his meeting with Marie Philip this time will be launched for this matter.

And the instructions from the Netherlands made it even more urgent for him to have the idea of ​​running for the prime minister.

Because his opponent is the current Prime Minister Valter Frel Albon.

"Philip, how are you, how likely do you think we are to succeed?"

Marie Philip thought for a moment, paused after organizing the language, and then said solemnly: "Valtel Frel Albon is cunning enough, he is a liberal like you, but this person manages The economic level is not very good, so there are many complaints from the people, especially his excessive favoring of King Leopold II and his excessive pro-British policy, which makes the Belgians very angry, especially the French and Dutch Prussians. That's all, this is an opportunity.

However, it is said that the French have put forward their own candidates. The Catholic Party Barthelemy Dete de Merante is what they used to defeat Valtaire Frere Orbon. UU Reading www.uukanshu .com If your candidacy distracts the liberals, that is, the internal stability of the new Jiao Lutheran, it will shake the tradition of our northerners ruling in Belgium, giving France an opportunity. "

Seeing Jules Danetang staring at him motionless, he was secretly happy for the other party's charming self-confidence, but also pleased that he was now bound to the other party, and said earnestly and arrogantly: "But who am I, I But Marie Philip, a man who helped a senator become prime minister, even though it has been 10 years.

We are worried, I believe that the same is true of the Prussians and the British who do not deal with France, so using this psychology, Leopold II is also closer to you in faith with us, I think, the main opponent, this time is still in Between you and the current Prime Minister Valter Frel Albon, who is also a liberal, what about him?"

"I believe you can do it," Jules Danetang said in a gentlemanly manner, but it was an eye-catching scene.

Every action this person does has an attractive attraction. Marie Philip thinks that he is too suitable for the political industry, the kind that he was born to raise!

"You" Marie Philip smiled wryly at the gentleman's way: "There is a way, but well."

"But what?"

"We just need to borrow the incident from the Netherlands about the entry of the UK into the Belgian port to make a fuss. Based on this, we can just make its support dilemma and support decline."

After he finished speaking, he whispered his plan in the ear of Jules Danetang.

For a long time, Jules Danetang looked at him with admiration and exclaimed, "I have to admit, I hired a good military advisor!"
