Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 14

Olivier was stunned for a moment, then gave Napilon III a heavy look, and said:

"Prussia is a very smart country. He used the decay of Austria to expand his influence and attractiveness. In the industry, he absorbed capital from the Netherlands to build his own industrial development. I believe that today's Prussia, if it continues to develop, Then it is the next France of the future, but the premise is that it can get rid of the dilemma of relying on the Netherlands to help her trade by sea, and complete the estuary in the Atlantic Ocean.

They still need to be able to take full leadership in the German Confederation. I know what Your Majesty means. The threat of Prussia is there, but now that Austria is there, it is not the most urgent thing. What we need most at the moment is to face the British Empire. The problems that are presented to us in front of us.”

Seeing that Napoleon III was puzzled, Olivier took out his latest news and gave it to Napoleon III.

The latter's face changed greatly after reading it, and it was extremely gloomy.

"us"

"Bang bang bang" Napoleon III was just dissatisfied with the news of Olivier, and was about to question the accuracy of the news, but at this moment, the door rang, and it was his chief guard's request. Voice.

This made him frown. Everyone under his character knew that when he was talking with people in the interview room, he didn't like being disturbed the most, and the head guard often accompanied the close guards around him. He was even more It's right to understand that he is still here at this time, except for very important things, it seems that he does not need to do so. Could it be that there is an accident with the 20,000 troops dispatched by Mexico? Napoleon was shocked.

"Come in," shouted to the door, then turned around and glanced apologetically at Olivier.

Olivier naturally won't have any opinions, but he understands better that he is still being disturbed now, and things should not be easy, but he knows more about the taboos of the royal family. Some people choose to disturb them at this time, which means that this problem must be very serious. Seriously, even to the point of having to interrupt the conversation between the king and the prime minister, what is it? It was necessary to let him even dare to interrupt the conversation of Napoleon III.

Olivier became interested in this matter, so when Napoleon III apologized, he was a gentleman with a smile and said it was okay, but he chose not to leave, and deliberately did not ask whether he needed to leave. avoided question.

The captain of the guard, Olivier, knew him. He had followed Napiron III for more than 20 years, and was highly valued by Napiron III.

After getting permission from Napoleon III, he walked in. When he saw Olivier, he hesitated a little. It seemed that Napoleon III's eyes represented something. He walked over to Napoleon III and spoke softly.

His voice was very thin. Even if Olivier had sharp ears, he could only vaguely hear familiar place names like Belgium and Brussels, but he didn't hear what he said clearly.

"what?"

Before Olivier was annoyed that he couldn't hear, he saw Napoleon III suddenly stand up, his face full of shock, which made Olivier even more want to know what happened, and made Napoleon III so hesitant .

Napiron III quickly calmed down. He was worthy of being one of the hegemons in Europe. I saw him ordering directly to the captain of the bodyguard: "Hurry up and call all the members of the Privy Council here. We are going to hold an emergency meeting."

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and touched his forehead. Only then did he remember that there was Olivier, the Prime Minister of France, next to him. He opened his eyes and looked at Olivier, who was hesitant to speak.

Napiron III said with a wry smile, "Our French Empire is going to be in trouble this time."

Seeing the puzzled look on Olivier's face, Napoleon III said angrily: "Our army stationed in Lille in the east, actually this morning, more than 200 people directly crossed the border to Belgium and participated in Hainaut in Belgium. At least one Dutch-speaking Belgian nobleman and 20 entourages were killed in the fighting between Dutch-speaking and French-speaking people in the province, and more than 10 were killed and 90 wounded in the French-speaking area. King Leopold I of Belgium has ordered the Belgian Prime Minister Valtaire Frere Orbon is arresting the French army that has crossed the border to calm the dissatisfied voices in Belgium.

The most important thing is that this nobleman is also the son of Charles Rogier, the former liberal Prime Minister of Belgium, who served two terms as a Belgian political strongman.”

what!

Rogerie was a Belgian-born political strongman. He was Leopold I's playmate since he was a child. He can be said to be one of the latter's most trusted officials. represent.

And his wife was a daughter of an English nobleman, and the matchmaker was Leopold I.

No wonder Leopold I directly ordered the arrest and brought him to justice, but seeing how angry he was.

However, can the people of France be caught by the little Belgian king?

Olivier and Napoleon III looked at each other, both with determination and the inherent pride of the French in their eyes.

The two quickly reached a consensus historically, that is, the dignity of France cannot be humiliated!

"Tell me, what's going on?"

When Napiron III and two received this message, William IV of Amsterdam also received this message, so he also found Tolbek.

Bill Charlie has been by his side for more than 10 years. He is 35 years old this year. He traveled through that time seven years ago. It was with his help that he quickly adapted to his new identity. It was also his reason that made him faster. Incorporated into his subsequent arrangements, it can be said that this person is his greatest hero, which is reasonable.

It is also his most trusted and loyal candidate.

So he didn't put on airs much with him,

"It is said that the two members of the Catholic faction are dissatisfied with the suppression of the liberals in the last two terms, while the Dutch-speaking areas in the north and the coast are more prosperous economically, and the French-speaking areas in the east and south are more prosperous because of low-lying areas. The land and plateau are located in poverty, resources are scarce, and the food harvest is also poor, so I am dissatisfied. Recently, I am going to hold a meeting of leaders of the French-speaking region in Mouscron to discuss the Belgian general election in April this year. people's votes, in order to break the possibility of liberals continuing to be re-elected.

But I never thought that people from the Dutch-speaking area were also holding a party there, and the two groups were in conflict, and the people from the French-speaking area happened to be related to an officer stationed in Lille in France. After receiving an invitation for help, He even took 200 of his men and crossed the border, eventually killing a young Belgian nobleman and his entourage, more than 20 people, and more than 100 others were injured. For this reason, Leopold I was so embarrassed that he ordered the Prime Minister to arrest him directly. people brought to justice"

Bircha thought for a while and reminded: "By the way, Your Majesty, the deceased teenager is the eldest son of former Belgian Prime Minister Roger Roger."

Bill Charlie's speech is very slow, but it is very methodical and detailed. When people listen to it, the context of the picture is directly displayed in front of them.

"What's the reaction in France?"

Tolbett has not spoken since he came in. Not speaking does not mean that he cannot think, and he chose to let others say that he is very strict with his work and strictly abides by the scope of his work, and his job is to execute His Majesty. The task assigned to help His Majesty handle state affairs.

"The French side is still silent and has not issued any announcements."

"What about Prussia, the British Empire, and Austria?"

"Up to now, these countries are either silent or discussing this matter, so so far there has been no announcement."

"Oh?" It's weird. Of course William IV knew why. In fact, as early as 1815, when the Vienna Peace Conference began to now, there have been many confrontations between the Dutch-speaking area and the French-speaking area in Belgium. Everyone is very dissatisfied with the status of the other party in the country. The Dutch-speaking area has the advantage of population, plains and sea, and it has an innate advantage in Belgium. More than half of the population is destined to dominate in Belgium.

The French-speaking area occupies 40% of the population. Although it lags behind the other side, it occupies about 60% of the area. The most important thing is that the French-speaking area is backed by the great French Empire. Who would dare to offend them easily. Therefore, the two sides are in Belgium. In this emerging country, although there are occasional fights, they are all peaceful, and the co-owner of the two parties, Leopold I, was a candidate introduced by the British Empire. The three parties are the best center for this situation.

But because of this, there is always some dissatisfaction in the heart of the British Empire, because Leopold I liked to strike a balance like Queen Victoria, and the three parties had been in peace for 30 years, but this election has destroyed this situation. crisis, because the liberals have already been elected two prime ministers. If the new term is still held by a liberal Dutch-speaking person, then it will be very embarrassing for French-speaking French people. After all, even if you people You can't completely occupy the prime minister's position. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Tolbeck knew it was time for him to speak:

"This time, the French-speaking area is full of anger, and a desire to win is carried through to everyone. So when the Dutch-speaking area went to the southern province of Hainaut to promote support for the liberals, they were naturally very angry. So there was a follow-up development, which eventually led to a malicious incident.

I guess it's not that France doesn't want to post it, but is waiting for herself to find an excuse to intervene in Belgium's internal affairs. After all, the most powerful contracting party of the Vienna Peace Conference, the British Empire, is the protector of Belgium. At this time, France suddenly became silent. Just give the British Empire a face.

But Napoleon III is not the one who suffers, and Olivier is also the person who hates the British Empire the most. Your Majesty, it seems that we don't need to do anything, Belgium will soon face enormous pressure."

William IV shook his head, he said: "Let's not underestimate Leopold I, who built a country with one hand, although everyone claims that this is the credit of Viscount Paterston, but who do we know? , Does Leopold I have a role in making plans that we don't do for human beings?

Therefore, we still need to make preparations, and even more clearly, we need to be the first to stand up first, so that we can drive other returning home to join in.”

William IV looked at Tolbek with some admiration, and said, "It seems that our No. 2 secret chess is beginning to feel unwilling to be lonely, and he came to such a trick. Prime Minister, you teach well."

Tolbeck didn't dare. But obviously there is a little satisfaction in the voice!

Because, his disciple did a good job, he didn't lose face!
