Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 322

On October 1, 1867, a heavy news came from the royal family of the Tsarist Russia. The Danish princess Damag was recognized by Alexander II and the entire Russian royal family. After several deliberation, the Tsarist royal family broke Princess Damag's promise. In an embarrassing situation, Alexander II asked his second son, Prince Nikolai Alexandrovich, to replace his dead brother and inherit the marriage with Princess Damag. At the same time, Alexander II also announced that Nikolai Alexander Drovich succeeds the crown prince.

Come back to life, a miracle is born. This is what it says.

Brother dies, younger brother inherits his fiancee?

For the first time in the history of the European royal family, such a situation has occurred.

This made almost everyone stunned.

When the news reached the Netherlands, Queen Alexandra and William IV of the Netherlands both received the news, but their faces were different.

And Princess Damag, who is still "relying" in the Netherlands, is even more surprised.

Alexandra had an unbelievable expression on her face.

"how so?"

"How could His Majesty Alexander II send such a message? This is no joke."

"What's going on with the Tsarist Russian Empire, what will happen to Damag in this case? It seems unreasonable to agree. If you don't agree, when you offend the Tsarist Russian Empire, it will also damage the reputation of Damag. This Tsarist Russian Empire is going crazy. ?"

As the party concerned, Princess Damag looked confused and didn't seem to have reacted.

Alexandra's words made her completely lost her mind.

How did it turn out like this, Nikolai? Want me to go with that guy Nikolai? Thinking about his previous identity again, Damag felt embarrassed to think about it, but for a while he lost his mind again.

William IV calmly took the expressions of the two into his eyes.

I sighed inwardly, the wheel of history has not changed, and Alexander II did it anyway, and after the death of Damag, the little sister-in-law, was still her fiancé, and she was finally asked by the future father-in-law Alexander II for his second son Nikolai to marry him. .

Seeing the appearance of the two, he could think that in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, the cheap father-in-law Christian IX is definitely not much better.

William IV guessed right, and now the Danish royal palace is in chaos.

"Father, it's not a gentleman for Alexander II to release such important information without discussing with us." Frederick will be engaged to Princess Louise of Sweden in a few months, so the recent etiquette The classes are more frequent, but when faced with the fact that her younger sister, Princess Damag, has been retreated to the cusp of the European royal family so many times, she showed dissatisfaction. After all, this is not a good reputation.

The second son of Christian IX, Prince George who just took Queen Victoria's third daughter Princess Helena as his wife not long ago, said even more irritably: "The Tsarist Empire has always been known in Europe for its barbarism, Alexander II It's not surprising that Shi did this, but if it's someone else we don't care, the problem is that the other party is our family's Damag, for us, this is an insult to the Danish royal family, father, I think we should reject it "

When Christian IX heard the words, his face changed, he was about to say something, and wanted to stop the second son's statement, but Princess Helena, the daughter-in-law sitting next to Prince George, said: "Yes, father, I think the Tsarist Empire is too much. Now, Princess Damag is beautiful and decent, and she is the best choice in Europe. It is said that our mother, Her Majesty Queen Victoria, still praised him? She even sighed that it is a pity that Princess Damag has made a contract with the Tsarist Empire. If not, she would have wanted to marry Princess Damag for my second brother.”

what!

All members of the entire Danish royal family were shocked, and even Prince George was shocked by his wife's words.

It is really too much information for Princess Helena.

Christian IX looked at Princess Helena.

Did Queen Victoria pay attention to Damag?

Queen Victoria still wants to marry Damag for her second son, Prince Alfred?

Although Prince Alfred is only the second son, there is Prince Edward in front of him, so it is not his turn to inherit the throne.

However, no one would think that his weight will become too small, because, as everyone in the UK knows, he is Queen Victoria's favorite son.

Born in 1844, he began to serve in the army for many years at the age of 16. Even in 1862, he was the first in the heir to the kingdom of Greece, and the Greeks also recognized it. However, Queen Victoria strongly opposed it and categorically rejected the possibility of letting her son inherit. William III.

After that, the queen wanted to inherit the Duchy of Sacklincoburg in the German Confederation, but she did not expect that Prussia would occupy the entire German Confederation, but it changed the Queen's plan.

At the Queen's Birthday Banquet in 1866, Queen Victoria made Prince Alfred the Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Elster and Earl of Kent. In the same year, Prince Alfred won a seat in the British House of Lords (that is, the Senate almost), where it happened on behalf of the Queen.

Now that Edward VII is not married, Prince Alfred is still the second heir to the British throne, second only to Prince Edward.

Therefore, it is understandable that Christian IX is disturbed by several people.

And Princess Helena, who saw this scene, is also very proud. Her family is strong, and she naturally has more status and voice in her husband's family. Although Helena is among the many outstanding children of Queen Victoria, she is often called privately. The chest is brainless, but under the influence, it can't be said that there is no scheming, it depends on who is on the background board.

Moreover, among the queen's children, many camps have also formed early.

Not to mention that the eldest daughter, Princess Victoria, is loved by everyone. The second daughter, Princess Alice, has always been the closest to Prince Edward, while the third daughter, Princess Helena, has the best relationship with Prince Alfred.

Princess Louise was a loner, and followed almost the same.

The others are still young.

It is precisely because of this that Princess Helena revealed her second brother to Christian IX and others.

The identity of Prince Alfred is not bad. This is the idea of ​​several people from Christian IX.

However, Alexander II's public proposal made it difficult for Christian IX to refuse.

At this moment, Queen Louisa next to her took out a letter and gave it to Christian IX.

"It's from Alexandra with William's words on it"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Christian IX.

Alexandra's letter?

Look at the mother's hesitant expression, and the topic just discussed. Take it out at this time, no need for everyone to guess, and know that this is about the topic.

As the eldest princess, Alexandra is respected by her siblings, including the Christian IX couple, who also attach great importance to her opinion.

What's more, the other party is now the queen of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the director general of the International Women's Association. These identities have made the arrogant Princess Helena also choose to keep a low profile.

After all, they were also the ones who defeated several sisters and won the Queen of William IV.

Seeing this, several people didn't say anything. They were vaguely young, and the 13-year-old Princess Tira and the 9-year-old Prince Valdemar were even more proud of the big sister's reputation and the second sister-in-law.

Besides, after reading the letter, Christian IX's face was less hesitant and more solemn.

Seeing everyone looking over, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Alexandra and William think it's good for Damag to marry into the Tsarist Russia, and Da Marge doesn't dislike Alexander II and his wife."

Tsarist Empire, St. Petersburg.

Alexander II solemnly took out the letter that William IV wrote to him again.

"The Netherlands asked the Russian Empire to stand in line? Don't you know that the Russian Empire has always been unwilling to participate in direct confrontation with Western Europe?"

"However, the incident with Damag can be considered a successful conclusion."

He has already received a response from Denmark, agreeing to the marriage of Damag and Nikolai, which made the original layout not much changed. Alexander II took a sharp look and said: "Britain withdraws from the North American War. It seems that the Balkans can only be reconciled, but the Caucasus can be manipulated. The Arabian Peninsula? The Middle East?"

He sighed: "Prussia and the Netherlands are going to make trouble there, the Russian Empire can only toss in the Caucasus"

"The outbreak of the French Empire's invasion of the Far East ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is a bold move by the French Empire to reshape the geo-space of the Far East. The Kingdom of Siam has become a quagmire of the French Empire, and the surrounding form of the French Empire has undergone a major reversal. Since the Vienna Conference in 1815, European countries defeated Napoleon I Zhang, the French Empire has developed its economy, industry and military in a low-key manner, intending to restore its former strength. In the past 50 years, the achievements of the French Empire in reshaping the space will be zero overnight.

The outbreak of the Siamese and French wars will bring geopolitical fission and reorganization not only in the Far East, but even spill over into Europe and the Americas.

Why do you say this? Because of the invasion of the French Empire in the Far East, the results of Napoleon III's operation in Mexico for many years were abandoned. This is one of the most significant waste of resources. You must know that the number of casualties of the French Empire there can be calculated in tens of thousands. .

The loss is not small, which is why Napoleon III must want to do something in the Far East, after all, the domestic pressure is too great.

Second, because the French Empire even abandoned Mexico, Paraguay in South America did withdraw from its original invasion of western Brazil. Although the confrontation between the two countries remains, Paraguayan President Pelos has indeed calmed down a lot.

France's resource allocation has made Paraguay weak in South America.

As a result, South America was much quieter, and the French presence was less influential.

Third, European relations deteriorated, and the French Empire paid a heavy price. All countries have begun to launch various alliances against France, which put a lot of pressure on Napoleon III. "
