Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 369

Berlin.

William I was looking worriedly to the west, as if he could see the mainland of the Netherlands and England across the English Channel.

"At this time, Queen Victoria actually sent an invitation to William IV to visit London, and we didn't know the news until William IV agreed. London's blockade of information is strict, which makes us have to review it."

Mao Qi solemnly said: "Your Majesty is right. In the future, Prussia will need to face the United Kingdom head-on, and it will be difficult for the United Kingdom to know itself and its enemies. Any information that is missed may change the battlefield and diplomatic advantages, and it will change in an instant."

William I's face was very deep, and he was full of worries. Since the confrontation with the Netherlands, Prussia, the country of choice, seemed to be let down by God, and was suppressed by the Netherlands everywhere. At this moment, he originally felt that his own Prussia was the protagonist of the world. He, at this moment, actually had a little loosening.

Bismarck was unmoved, but instead said: "Your Majesty, the situation in the United States seems to be suppressed by the Netherlands at present, but we have not completely failed, don't forget, now Germans occupy 17% of the population there, as long as the These populations have a firm grasp, so with the support, it is very likely that a comeback in the next election is not impossible.”

Seeing that William I, Mao Qi and others were successfully attracted to him, Bismarck breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had already guessed it, there was still a difference between what he saw with his own eyes and what he had guessed. in one breath.

I have to say that the Dutch offensive was beyond Bismarck's expectations. From the time Prussia used Seward to take the initiative to unite with the Irish to suppress the Dutch, Bismarck originally thought that the Dutch would be defeated quickly, although he had already given the Netherlands a high score on the American side. , But President Lincoln was on their side. He didn't think the Netherlands could make a lot of waves. After all, the population of Dutch people is only more than 1 million, which severely restricted the system of governing by elections for the United States of America. With nearly four times the population of Germans in front of the Netherlands, it is absolutely easy to suppress the other party by voting.

But Bismarck didn't wake up until now. It turned out that in this world, a large population may not necessarily win the election, because he forgot that banknotes can buy and sell votes. The Dutch dominance in New England has created the most prosperous Northeast in the United States. The seven states have become the base camp of the Dutch, and with the support of the Kingdom of the Netherlands behind the Dutch, these Dutch capitalists have grown rapidly, almost occupying a monopoly position in various industries in these seven states, and the pace of expansion has continued.

The factories below were actually bought and acquired by these Dutch capitalists. It is normal for the common people to give up their votes for survival.

Thinking of this, Bismarck had to sigh to William I and Mo Qi: "Sure enough, I lived until I learned to grow old. I didn't expect that at my age, I would still be able to let William IV go with me under the pk of the Commonwealth of America. a lesson"

What hook? Looking at Bismarck's meaning, is there anything else Prussia can't ambush?

William IV, who was far away in London, didn't know that someone was watching him while he was visiting England, and he was still being tricked.

After William IV from all over the world visited Britain, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were full of imagination.

On April 16, 1868, William IV was invited to deliver a speech in the British House of Commons (the House of Representatives).

"In what direction will the relationship between the six major powers of Europe, including the British Empire, the French Empire, the Tsarist Russia Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, the AustriHungary Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, develop, will it evolve into a military bloc?

And the trilateral military bloc that appeared in the style of the original Hop-Prussian-French alliance? Will it trigger a new round of escalating tensions in the English Channel or the Atlantic North-Sea? What was the impact of my first defense of England, the sudden approach of England and the Netherlands, the relationship between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Empire of France, which had tensions with the Netherlands?

My visit to the UK has aroused international attention. What I have done after taking the lead in the Netherlands is obviously based on the interests of the Netherlands. I have joined Russia, France and Russia successively, and diplomatically, I have established the alliance with the Tsarist Russia Empire as the basis of diplomacy, and established a future-oriented policy. relations with international organisations led by the Netherlands.

Recently, I sent the Foreign Minister Heisbert Von of the Cabinet Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Prime Minister Tolbek to appear internationally. Tolbek hosted the first meeting of the South American Union in Guyana, South America, which attracted the attention of the world, and finally led to Nordic countries. Sweden and Denmark are seeking to join. And Peru in South America also applied at the same time, wanting to become a member of the alliance.

Heisbert Von visited Denmark and Sweden. After the foreign ministers of the three countries conducted various consultations, the three countries finally formed the Nordic Alliance.

Make northern Europe appear to be a less fragmented polity.

In addition, under my leadership, the International Organization of the Red Cross, the Women's Union, and the International Hague Tribunal have been established one after another. Last year, the International Labour Union, which was established under the leadership of the Netherlands, aroused the response of the working class around the world. The influence of the Netherlands is not strong. It is not big.

And it is also driven by the Netherlands to become an internationally influential organization.

In this case, the international status of the Netherlands has skyrocketed, and its international image has become the best country in the world. "

When William IV was talking, he saw that in the audience, Queen Victoria of England did not change her face, even when William IV looked over.

She also smiled at William IV and nodded, showing the temperament and demeanor of royal upbringing.

However, the British Prime Minister Disraeli next to her~www.mtlnovel.com~ is much worse. It seems that William IV's words made him very harsh, with a red face and a thick neck. Three-year-old children know him. in a bad mood.

William IV noticed that Russell, the British Foreign Secretary, who had met several times next to him, was still scheming. In him, William IV thought of Palmerston, who had passed away. This old buddy was obviously cute and scheming.

Then there was Clayston, William IV was a little bit incomprehensible about him. This man was supposed to be a Tory party before, but it was because he finally competed with Disraeli for the future successor of the Tory party, but he couldn't get it. Reilly, in a fit of rage, switched to the Whig party, and was appreciated by both Palmerston and Russell, eventually becoming the leader of the Whig party, resulting in the current leader of the different camps in the number of enemies.

To William IV's surprise, what he said a little bit offended Britain, but obviously, as the most powerful country in the world, these British parliamentarians, capitalists and aristocrats don't seem to be as stingy as later generations. dissatisfied.

"Hey, as expected of being a superpower now, even in the face of ridicule, he is much calmer."

Thinking of this, William IV wanted to continue to test the bottom line of the British, but he was afraid of causing a backlash.

He couldn't help but secretly said: I'm too difficult!

"Never mind, let's talk about it when it's cool, let's talk about it first, then lift it up." William IV finally decided to criticize Britain again.
