Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 355

The failure of the Commonwealth of Millikin to impeach the Lincoln government made everyone shocked. The victory of the Irish and Germans represented the failure of the Senate and House of Representatives led by the Netherlands to encircle and suppress President Lincoln.

This makes the world look at the Netherlands with a little curiosity. As the backer of the Dutch, it is obvious that this time is also a failure for the Netherlands. For such a result, the Netherlands is about to face a tested and ready to face the Netherlands. The Netherlands would face embarrassment as a result of a tougher Lincoln government.

On February 27, 1868, Mexican Foreign Minister Sebastian Teharda visited the Kingdom of Prussia and handed over to Prime Minister Bismarck and William I the Mexican President Benito. Letters handwritten by Juarez.

The next day, Prime Minister Bismarck met with Sebastian. Tejada

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Prussia said that Prime Minister Bismarck emphasized during the meeting that Prussia fully supports the German-American people of Millikin who may be treated unfairly, and vowed to continue to support those who lead the Germans and even the United States of America in a peaceful manner. Support for other minorities on the path to democracy and greater autonomy.

The Prussian Prime Minister even emphasized in the meeting that Prussia expressed dissatisfaction with Mexico's execution of Massimiliano I last year, and asked Mexico to clarify the reasons for the decision. Similar dispositions are implemented.

Prime Minister Bismarck also said that Prussia cherished the relationship with the Mexican people, and also demanded that Mexico must accept European values ​​so that Europe would accept Mexico's integration into the international community.

And the Mexican Foreign Minister Sebastian. Tejada proposed to strengthen the relationship between Mexico and the Kingdom of Prussia, and welcomed the role of the Kingdom of Prussia in the Americas. On behalf of the President of Mexico, he invited Prime Minister Bismarck and William I to visit Mexico City at an appropriate time.

Prussia invited the Mexican foreign minister to visit Berlin?

And the time of choice was chosen after the impeachment of the United States of America?

With this invitation, many people understand that in this North American senatorial vote, Mexican senators helped Germans and Lincoln?

However, the current development of the situation shows that the Netherlands has fallen into a disadvantage. After all, in the Americas, Lincoln won. Now Mexico, which is alcoholic, also chooses to be close to Prussia.

Just when everyone was "worried" about the Netherlands, they found that the Netherlands seemed unmoved.

Facing such a situation, on March 5, 1868, when William IV deliberately chose to be interviewed by the most influential British newspaper "Financial Times", he said indifferently: "Why is the Netherlands able to rise rapidly in Europe? It's not that we care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool, but our continuous long-term plan. The Commonwealth of Millikin is our ally. Although the current cabinet government does not seem to be very friendly to the Netherlands, there are many of us in the Commonwealth of Millikin. Friends of the Netherlands, we are not worried that there will be an anti-Dutch trend in the country.

What's more, not only do we have a relationship within the emerging Communist Party, but even with the Democratic Party, we have a good relationship, so I feel relieved about the mature relationship between the two countries. "

When asked whether the Netherlands would be dissatisfied with the visit of the Mexican foreign minister to Berlin in the face of Prussia's current upper hand?

William IV affirmed: "Of course there will be, I am just dissatisfied with why the Prussian Palace is puzzled by why a government that kills a monarch should allow him to visit Berlin, the political center of Prussia, I think Vienna in AustriHungary must be very dissatisfied now. "

William IV was asked how the Netherlands would respond to the aggressive actions of the Prussian Bismarck against the Netherlands.

William IV said: "The Netherlands has enough ammunition to meet all adversary provocations, we do not want to take the initiative to deal with anyone, but if other countries feel that the Netherlands is weak, then they are very wrong, because the Netherlands now Have enough tools to fight against incoming enemies, believe me, we in the Netherlands have risen, I hope the big countries don't have any delusional thoughts about the Netherlands, if there is, then he will need to face the preparations to be beaten."

When asked what specific measures the Netherlands has taken, William IV gave an example, that is, the Netherlands has the world's most advanced steam battleship technology construction speed, and the Netherlands' construction speed far exceeds that of the United Kingdom and the French Empire.

William IV was asked how the Netherlands would face Britain if Britain and the French Empire wanted to launch a water attack on the Netherlands now, before the Netherlands had built enough ships in the fleet to be of real power. Or a French attack?

William IV laughed, "Although this is a hypothetical issue, this question is very creative. I think it's good. If you really want me to answer you, then I can only, your assumption just now is wrong."

Why do you say that? The newspaper interviewer asked.

"Why?" William IV proudly said: "Because the tonnage of warships in the Netherlands has reached 100,000, and in the Far East, we have also built not less than the tonnage of the fleet, and in Alaska, we also have a large tonnage. In fact, our current tonnage is almost the same as your British Empire. Of course, there may be some gaps in combat power, you know. The Netherlands lacks the baptism of war, and the United Kingdom is the best at this.”

what!

When the report of William IV's interview with the Financial Times was published ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the whole of Britain was boiling.

The United Kingdom, which has always been known as the world's strongest navy, has been caught up by other countries unknowingly? And it's not the French Empire that has always been on guard, nor the Kingdom of Prussia, which has recently been arrogant in Europe, nor the Tsarist Russia Empire with a two-headed Eurasian policy, but the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which is close at hand and whose population is only one-third of the United Kingdom.

Major British newspapers immediately reprinted the report of the Financial Times, so in the British Isles, there are people who are both happy and sad, and on the island of Ireland, many Irish people have smiles on their faces.

They like to see the unhappy faces of the English people the most, especially the way they are slapped in the face is the best.

On the contrary, Buckingham Palace and Number 10 Downing Street are sad.

The Netherlands even announced the strength of its navy.

With the whole news released by William IV, the European countries will not be able to shake a few times.

Queen Victoria asked Princess Louise, her 4th daughter and unofficial secretary, "My daughter Louise, what do you think the Netherlands has chosen to announce at this time, what is the ulterior purpose?"

Princess Louis was stunned. She didn't expect Queen Victoria to suddenly ask her a question, but her response was not slow. "I think this is an exploit of William IV."
