Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 430

"Three sailing battleships of the Kingdom of Prussia appeared in southeastern Africa and the eastern part of the Mozambique Strait in the southwestern Indian Ocean to circumnavigate Madagascar for a week"

On September 5, 1868, Europe's largest newspaper, "Europe Times" reported that according to the Dutch Ministry of Defense, the three Prussian battleships sailed south from Somalia in the north on September 3, passing through the British colonies of Seychelles and the Netherlands. After the overseas territories of Kenya, Tanzania and the Comoros Islands of the Netherlands, they entered the Mozambique Strait between the Dutch North Mozambique and Madagascar. When the local Dutch army thought that the Prussian fleet just wanted to pass through the strait, they never thought about it. After passing through the strait, the Prussian fleet chose to sail eastward along the coast of Madagascar for a week. After passing through the Mozambique strait for the second time, it went south through the Strait of Magellan where the Cape of Good Hope is located in British South Africa.

The Dutch navy stationed in Madagascar and Northern Mozambique monitored and collected intelligence on the fleet's operations against Prussia.

According to the "Dutch Daily" report, the Dutch Ministry of Defense announced on the 5th that it was confirmed that two Prussian warships were passing through the sea off the coast of Rotterdam, the largest city in the south of the Netherlands. Hours later, the two Prussian warships sailed southward through the English Channel heading south after firing artillery fire. After passing through the English Channel, they entered the Mediterranean Sea from the Strait of Gibraltar. It is said that they were going to arrive in Somalia for garrisoning after passing through the Suyens Canal. .

The Dutch Ministry of Defense announced on September 5 that it confirmed that the two Prussian naval warships appeared at the same time outside the ports of Madagascar and Rotterdam. At the same time, His Excellency Mark Rude, Chief of the General Staff of the General Staff of the Netherlands, has personally sent a telegram to Mauch, Chief of the General Staff of the Kingdom of Prussia, questioning the "provocative" behavior of the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Netherlands is currently waiting for Prussia's response.

Not long after the Dutch Ministry of Defense released the news on September 5, 1868, on September 6, 1868, at the regular diplomatic conference of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dutch Foreign Minister Heisbert Von directly accused Prussia, "I don't. I understand what Prussia's intention to provoke the Netherlands is at this time, and I don't even know what is the benefit of Prussia doing so, but one thing, I can be very clear to my Prussian colleagues, the Netherlands is very firm in defending the country's territory. If anyone dares to Invasion-invading the territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, we will not hesitate to fight back”

When a reporter asked the Netherlands how to fight back, Hesbert Fonbie said meaningfully: "The Netherlands is not the Kingdom of Hanover, which was invaded by Prussia, nor the Kingdom of Bavaria, nor the Kingdom of Denmark, which was weak in the past few years. The Netherlands has a set of rules. The military measures that are enough to resist the invaders, and our military reforms are enough to resist the invasion of the big powers, believe me, the Netherlands can protect itself, of course, if the big powers really come to war against the Netherlands , I think that the mainland of Europe may be occupied, but the Netherlands will also make the big country pay a very, very high price. Perhaps after the invasion of the Netherlands, the big country will split into several countries.”

When the reporter continued to ask what the foreign minister meant, Hesbet Feng said with a smile: "You know, the German Confederation is made up of several countries."

After he finished speaking, Heisbet Feng did not go any further.

But it did not prevent the people present from being full of reverie.

So the pens on their notebooks slid quickly,

"The Netherlands believes that under the current integration policy of the Kingdom of Prussia, although the countries of the original German Confederation are temporarily suppressed from Prussian rule, the Netherlands warns that if Prussia invades the Netherlands, there will be a chance that these original countries will take the opportunity to break away from the Kingdom of Prussia. would be unprecedented" - from Le Figaro of the French Empire, September 7, 1868.

"The Netherlands warns Prussia of the dangers of present provocation, Hesbet Fung says the Netherlands is strong enough to withstand any Prussian invasion" - Financial Times, British Empire, September 7, 1868.

"Dutch Foreign Minister Hesbet Von responded to the news from the Dutch Ministry of Defense that the Netherlands will conduct preventive-xing military exercises on the national territory of the Netherlands, the main purpose of which is to prevent the stupid behavior that may be made by careerists in other countries"—— From the Kingdom of Italy, La Milano, September 7, 1868.

"European countries are on the rise. In the past, the Netherlands circumnavigated Sri Lanka and the Chagos Islands in the British Far East, causing shocks in Europe. In the future, the Prussian fleet circumnavigated the Dutch overseas territory of Madagascar in the southwest of the Indian Ocean, and at the same time the Dutch port of Rotterdam20 Kilometers away for artillery fire drills~www.mtlnovel.com~ The sudden participation of Prussia made the situation in Europe even more confusing.

The relationship between England, Holland and Prussia is complicated. It is rumored that the United Kingdom seems to be supporting the Rothschild family in the United Kingdom to financially attack the Commonwealth of Millikin. President Andrew of Dutch descent is defending it. Taking action, does it mean that the Frankfurt Rothschild family in Prussia also joined the urging of the Prussian government in Berlin to join the British government?

It is said that James Rothschild sent his son Edmond Rothschild to London not long ago. Obviously, this is an obvious declaration of family unity. Maybe soon, everyone will be able to see European countries in the Rothschild family. Under the pressure of this financial hegemony, they have adopted anti-Dutch confrontations one after another. Maybe the future of the Commonwealth of Millikin will lead to a lot of debates in the Commonwealth of Millikin." - A pro-German from the Commonwealth of Millikin The newspaper The San Francisco Times.

The newspapers of various countries are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, like sharks smelling fishy, ​​rushing to report relevant news one after another, which makes the world feel like a storm is coming.

At this moment, a piece of news surprised all countries.

On September 10, news came that the British Indian Ocean Fleet actually dispatched 10 warships. In particular, the United Kingdom even dispatched an Indian Ocean steam battleship to lead it. After arriving in northern Australia from September 4, it began to choose a detour. After making a lap of the Australian mainland, Jane chose to stop in New Zealand, a British overseas colony.

At this time, after stepping into Prussia, the United Kingdom also made a sea detour to the Netherlands?

However, when I think of the islands that the Netherlands circumvented in the United Kingdom before, I am relieved.
