Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 130

September 10, 1862.

The Ministry of Education of the Netherlands proclaims this day every year as Teachers' Day in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which is a tribute to all teachers who have contributed to the cause of education.

On Teachers' Day, the Netherlands will require schools to give all teachers and students a day off.

As soon as this novel Teacher's Day came out, it caused a sensation all over the world including European countries.

"This is a very creative way of publicity. I admit that I was conquered by the practice of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and we in Sweden have also decided to make this day a day for all teachers in Sweden, because their hard work educates the flowers of the future country, but it is worth it this honor"

The Swedish Prime Minister of Justice Louis de Gil Sr. made the above remarks after the proposal to recognize Teachers' Day was just passed in the Swedish Parliament.

Not only Sweden, but also the President of the Danish Government Council, Karl Christian Hall, declared September 10th as Teachers' Day in the country.

Many people have doubts about the Three Kingdoms.

After all, it would be understandable if Sweden followed the Netherlands, but Denmark is also following, which seems confusing.

Unfortunately, this doubt was soon relieved.

On September 12, 1862, the Dutch royal family and the Danish royal family announced that the two countries would be married, and the object was that William IV would marry the eldest daughter of Crown Prince Christian of Denmark, the eldest daughter of Crown Prince Alexandra. On November 1st.

The wedding was on May 1, 1863, six months later.

The news caused an uproar.

You know, as early as when the Royal Family Trust Conference was held in Amsterdam, it was rumored that Crown Prince Edward of the United Kingdom fell in love with the county owner of Denmark at first sight. Since then, the news has not been interrupted, and many people are envious of Alexander. Della flew on the branch and turned into a phoenix, and it was really good luck to be able to see Prince Edward.

So Alexandra became the envy of European aristocratic women.

Of course, many people also envy Crown Prince Edward's beauty, because in London, there have already been rumors of his unruly life, but now they are targeting the most beautiful county lord in Denmark, and they are about to succeed. I did, but I didn't expect that someone would come out in the middle of the way to grab love, making Prince Edward all his previous achievements all to naught.

As the news of the engagement of Alexandra County and William IV spread everywhere, many people cast more envy towards Alexandra County.

It actually caused jealousy between the British crown prince and the Dutch king. How much charm would it take.

A craze of Alexandra suddenly set off in Europe, her dress, her makeup, have become the follower of the royal women.

Especially in the European market, there are many clothes of the same style that are sold well and are out of stock.

Countries have made their own judgments about the impact of this marriage.

"What is the Netherlands doing? It is clear that Prussia will attack the Kingdom of Denmark in Schleswig and Holstein, but William IV is now marrying Denmark first. Does the Netherlands want to, in the future, Can't you help Denmark against us?"

"Your Majesty, there are some things that seem to be normal, but they are actually weird. William IV likes to play the most incomprehensible method, so as to keep his power.

This is their consistent style in the Netherlands. Even the ambassador to Prussia, Nicholas Pearson, is in the same line of foreign policy. Therefore, we develop ourselves in an orderly manner. With domineering and kingly power, no matter how much the Netherlands has diplomatic skills, it is only It is in vain. "

"that means"

"We are calm, neither opposing nor supporting it, because some countries will be more anxious than us."

"Okay, then as the Prime Minister said"

It was William I who spoke as King of Prussia and Bismarck, Prime Minister of the country.

"However, Your Majesty, we have to prevent Denmark from forming a genuine alliance with Sweden and the Netherlands. After all, Sweden and Denmark have already been reconciled, but they are still in conflict with each other as leaders in the Kalmar Alliance.

But if the Netherlands enters, it will have a chemical effect on this alliance, and it may be brought back to life, and the three countries will form a stable pattern. At that time, we, our west and north will increase the pressure.

Perhaps it is because of this that the Netherlands promotes the alliance with Sweden, and if they come to win over Denmark, obviously the Netherlands should be aiming for this purpose.”

"Prime Minister, did the Netherlands forget that the three countries of Hop, France, and France are also allies. Do they want to eat both ends?"

"It's impossible to say that both ends are eaten, at least the French Empire doesn't care, because speaking of it, when we formed an alliance, the purpose of the alliance was to use each other to fight against the British and to make trouble with each other. It was also to take advantage of the situation. The benefits of the alliance, but we don't get much benefit, so the alliance has actually reduced a lot of its role.”

"Isn't the joint operation on the African side for our phalaenopsis colonies?"

"Then if we do this with Spain, the effect will be the same."

William I was stunned when he heard the words. Bismarck's statement made him suddenly puzzled. He was the one who advocated the alliance at the beginning, but now he has

Seeing this, Bismarck explained: "Your Majesty, the environment has changed, and we also need to change with the times. Now that the Netherlands has stepped out of the diplomatic predicament of having a bad relationship with the United Kingdom.

They even sloganed to develop the Far East, and even the deputy capital came out. This proves that the country has begun to focus on the Far East. A person's energy is limited, and a country's financial resources are also limited.

Therefore, these actions of the Netherlands all prove that he will reduce the investment of resources in Europe. For us Prussia, it is not clear whether it is good or bad at present, but the role of the Three-Power Alliance has actually been reduced. "

As the protagonist of this incident, he had already left Amsterdam and started to get on the Dutch fleet heading to the Far East.

"Peter, the size of the navy must be accelerated. Only when the navy is built fast enough can we protect our assets."

William IV said expectantly: "Australia and the original Dutch East Indies have a vast territory, and the serelated coastal areas are the most countries in the world. If there is no strong navy to guard, then no matter how fast the economic development is, no matter how good it is, In the end, it's just a wedding dress."

The ~www.mtlnovel.com~ that William IV sat on was the Rotterdam, one of the two first-class sailing battleships of the Dutch Home Fleet.

There are also more than 10 other battleships of all levels.

This fleet is already half of the maritime strength of the Dutch mainland fleet.

This time, in addition to the Minister of the Navy, Jan Peter, the Minister of the War, Pete de Jong, also came.

In addition to them, there are also the Director of the Netherlands International Intelligence Service, Mackay Sean, the Minister of Industry, Wem Cotter, the Minister of Education, Rude Bells, the First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Venus, and the Chief of the Army Staff, Jopp Il, etc. , and the others stayed on the Dutch mainland.

Jan Peter was overjoyed when he heard this. This shows that His Majesty still attaches great importance to the navy, so next year's Chancellor of the Exchequer should be able to relax the financial constraints.

So he said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, I think the navy should be vigorously developed. Now when the Netherlands is officially developing and building everywhere, every item here is very important to the Netherlands and cannot be lost, so, I think your Majesty is right."

The army chief of staff, Jop Ilton, was envious of the navy at the time. Your Majesty is trying to solve the financial austerity of the navy. When will it be the army's turn?
