Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 250

In the second half of the 18th century, Britain established 13 colonies along the Atlantic coast. Each colony was ruled by a viceroy sent by Britain. At this time, the colony had developed a large number of plantations and established various industries such as textiles, iron smelting, and mining, and the economy was relatively prosperous.

In order to increase fiscal revenue, the British government at that time continuously increased the taxation of the colonies and carried out excessive exploitation and exploitation of the colonies, which aroused great anger among the colonial people.

As a result, secret anti-British organizations such as "Sons of Freedom" and "Communications Committee" appeared in the local area, and anti-British incidents such as boycotting British goods, driving away tax envoys, burning tax stamps, and armed-resistance continued to occur in various places. In the end, the tea incident in Boston became the fuse and successfully angered the British government.

If it were just these locals, the United Kingdom would naturally not take it seriously, but they were dissatisfied with the British **** of North America, and Spain and France held grudges, so they finally took the opportunity to send a lot of resources to help these colonial locals deliver material support, and sent military instructors to They strengthened military training, and even participated in training plans to attack British troops in North America. Eventually, with the support of France and Spain, Millikin was established.

After Millikin became independent, compared with Spain, France increased its support to support Millikin's army, providing it with arms and other combat supplies.

Even on December 17, 1777, it became the first European country to recognize Millikin as a country, and signed a covenant with Millikin in February of the following year. France and Milliken began to be firmly tied together against the British. .

The United Kingdom, therefore, was interrupted by the idea of ​​​​having exclusive access to the North American continent, which has become a lost dream. The British hated France, of course, and the presence of Spain in Mexico also made the British feel unhappy. In the end, the British Royal Navy took the Strait of Gibraltar directly in revenge for Spain.

Even after France worked hard to develop the unfinished Suez Canal, it was directly taken away by the United Kingdom without thanks.

So Queen Victoria's face almost collapses when William Foury mentions the "masterpiece" of Latins in North America.

She said fiercely: "Latins are really not a good thing"

That's how you describe Latin people?

William I and Bismarck couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Bismarck's plan came from his heart and quickly started running: "Can Prussia benefit from the anti-Latin people in Britain? However, William IV made the topic clear, it seems that the Netherlands is also dissatisfied with the Latin people? If Prussia exerts too much force, will it be possible? Would it bring the Netherlands too close to the UK?"

Between gains and losses, it's a dilemma.

Joseph I was silent about this, because speaking of it, it was difficult for Austria to get close to Italy in the south, and because of the alliance between Prussia and Italy, the Austrian Empire collapsed and Venice was ceded to Italy.

Therefore, Italy is not a good thing, and Prussia is not much better.

Therefore, as the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Joseph I came in the name of the king of the Germanic Austrian kingdom this time, and it was somewhat "incompatible".

So he stood on the sidelines from the beginning.

As for Christian IX, now he is relieved.

Russell calmly watched William IV "perform", thinking about his intentions.

William IV looked away from Queen Victoria and fell on Joseph I: "Your Majesty Joseph, what does Austria think?"

Joseph I gave William IV a dissatisfied look: "It's clearly said that the younger ones will come first, how come it's my turn so quickly?"

"However, Latins are greedy enough"

Wilhelm IV immediately felt a sense of ridicule in his heart, the Latins are greedy, and your Austria is not weak.

William IV said: "Just now, His Majesty Karl XV and William IV both talked about the greatness and prosperity of Germany. I think as a German, I should be happy. However, as I just heard, Germany is now The enemies they face are also very powerful.

Although the glory of the Roman emperor is no longer among the Latins, the dead camel is bigger than the horse. Among the most powerful naval countries in the world, these four countries are all ranked in the top ten, France second, Spain third, Portugal and Italy although Slightly weaker, but also strong.

On the other hand, the British Empire ruled by the Germanic Queen Victoria is very exciting. After that, the Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, and Prussia are on par with Italy and Portugal. Therefore, the scale of victory has not completely fallen to Germany.

In terms of population, it has the advantage, France and Britain have about the same population, Italy has about the same population as Austria, that is, we have Sweden, the Netherlands and Denmark and Prussia, that is, the Germans are twice as many as European Latins.”

Joseph I continued: "Economically, France's industry is good, but it can't compare with England, Spain can't compare with Prussia, Italy can't compare with Austria, Portugal can't compare with the Netherlands, so economically we can't compare with the Netherlands. also won.”

Joseph I continued to analyze all the way, but he analyzed the Latins and Germans thoroughly.

Carl XV: "Everyone, I won three to two, but I'm not happy"

Bismarck stared sharply at William IV who was sitting opposite Karl XV~www.mtlnovel.com~ He seemed to have guessed something. Suddenly, he saw Russell on the opposite side, and I knew you would not be simple. So there was an awe in my heart. This old guy with the Viscount Palmerston who has dominated British politics for more than 30 years is indeed a deep-rooted guy. In the past, he was covered by the radiance of the Viscount Palmerston. Now Palmerston The absence of the Viscount made him unable to hide the glow.

William IV asked: "Don't know what Karl XV means?"

With the question of William IV, Bismarck knew it, and Russell on the opposite side also smiled.

Carl XV gave the other a compliment.

He said: "I'm not afraid of people saying that we don't avoid ourselves. If the Latin people follow the calculation just now, they may not be our opponents, but don't think that this will kill the opponent.

There is an old saying that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, don't forget, Europe is not only Germanic and Latin? "

"Karl XV means Slavic?"

It was Meck, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Austria, who was able to be regarded as the foreign minister of a country and was favored by Joseph I. Of course Meck was not a fool. Karl XV's words made everyone guess the Slavs. Who is Sweden's enemy?

That was the Tsarist Empire, the stronghold of the Slavs. Apart from that, only the principality of Serbia under the Ottoman Empire belonged to the Slavs.

Karl XV: "Yes, I think Joseph I has experienced the wolf ambition of the Tsarist Empire"

The latter nodded in agreement.

France is neither blind nor stupid, and Alexander II is even more insightful. I think that maybe the Germanic opponents are not one, but two possibilities, which is not small.
