Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 433

Some good people even suggested that the British and French navies temporarily give up their prejudices and jointly suppress the Netherlands before fighting, or they can choose to cooperate in the Pacific Ocean.

At the same time, many people suggested that they could cruise with Prussia and France in the Indian Ocean. After all, Prussia currently occupies Somalia in the northwest of the Indian Ocean, while the French Empire occupies Mauritius and Reunion in the east of Madagascar.

If the three countries cooperate in the Indian Ocean, it can threaten the connection between the Netherlands in Kenya, Tanzania, northern Mozambique and Madagascar, and at the same time, it can also threaten the safety of the routes across the Indian Ocean to the Australian mainland and Sumatra in the Far East.

This will cause the Netherlands to devote more energy to the Far East and Africa, and also interrupt the strong position of the Netherlands in these places, preventing the super-strong position of the United Kingdom in the Indian Ocean from being gradually squeezed northward by the Netherlands, and at the same time, the interests of the three countries can be reduced in Europe. The strength of the native Netherlands.

It has to be said that these people's opinions are unique, and even aroused the recognition of many elites of the Three Kingdoms.

Of course, these people's claims caused a lot of scolding after they reached the Netherlands.

On September 15, 1868, the Dutch government stated that the activities of Britain and France around the Dutch territory in the Far East tended to be frequent, and the Dutch garrison there had been on high alert, and they were continuing to analyze the voyage and maintain vigilance and surveillance.

The Dutch media commented that this was "British, French and Prussian troops divided into three routes to double-team the Dutch Far East", and also pointed out that such voyages will become the norm in the future.

The Dutch media also believed that the Dutch East Indies Squadron dispatched two first-class sailing battleships "Sumatra" and "Java" and three-class sailing battleships such as "Yogakarta" and "Surabaya" to challenge the French fleet. Conduct surveillance and intelligence gathering.

In the direction of the Australian mainland, the Dutch Far East Fleet is headquartered in Adelaide, southern Australia. It dispatched three first-class sailing battleships "Western Australia", "North Australia", "South Australia" and "Perth" ", "Darwin", "Adelaide" three second-class sailing battleships followed to supervise.

It is worth mentioning that the British and Dutch fleets had several brief confrontations outside Perth Port in Western Australia and Adelaide in South Australia and Sydney and other port cities, and finally the British chose to leave.

Although I know that the current position of the Netherlands has risen to the level of the king, but the United Kingdom and France. No one in Prussia has come forward to speak, and this time it's very strange.

This made the outside world imagine the action as always.

The comment pointed out that the Far East Fleet of the French Empire said, "The fleet passed through Malacca and then went around the Dutch East Indies to exercise just a routine exercise on imaginary enemies and islands."

In fact, he pointed out that this is just = to express dissatisfaction with the recent unfriendly response of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to France, especially the sanctions against France led by the Netherlands some time ago.

It believes that this is a warning from France to the Netherlands.

The commentary also believed that what the United Kingdom did was more of a retaliation. After all, it was the Netherlands that first made a detour to the British Far East, which was just an excuse for the United Kingdom to fight back.

The comment also mentioned, don't forget, as early as 8 years ago, this was an overseas territory of the United Kingdom. The British Australian fleet is second only to the Indian fleet in the Indian Ocean. This time the United Kingdom circumnavigated Australia in addition to fighting back against the Netherlands, more It is a reminder to the Netherlands that Australia was given to the Netherlands by the UK, let the Netherlands not forget this.

As for Prussia, as the Prussian naval fleet becomes larger and larger, the quality and the scale of the navy and the technology are improved and self-confidence, the Prussian navy has formed an army and its formation has continued to expand, so the overseas deployment will become more and more frequent. After all, the world is currently Colonies in various places have been almost occupied by the old colonial countries such as Britain, France, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. At this time, Prussia is more of a show of strength. The purpose is to warn other countries not to touch Prussia's territory at the same time. It also represents Prussia's ambitions for overseas territories.

Therefore, this commentary believes that there may be private promotion in these three countries, but the interests of the government may not come together.

The folk here naturally refers to the Rothschild family.

From September 18th to 21st, 1868, Spain, the Commonwealth of America, the Ottoman Empire, the Tsarist Empire, and the Prime Minister of the Netherlands visited Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in the past 4 days.

Many people in Britain, France and Prussia are very dissatisfied with the slow action of their governments. Some time ago, the French Empire even invited some countries, but some countries were unwilling to attend and postponed the visit, which reminded the outside world of the current French diplomacy. predicament.

In the UK, some people think that the British Empire has increased its invitation to high-level officials from various countries to visit London, because they believe that the Netherlands is seizing the moral resources of diplomacy. They believe that by not doing so, the UK will miss a major opportunity to defend its own interests

British opposition Whig leader-xiu and former Prime Minister Clayston said in a statement: "While Prime Minister Disraeli is struggling with his agenda, the Dutch government remains focused on harming Britain around the world, especially in the Far East. The Indian Ocean is a British exclusive interest."

Conservative Senator Todd of the British Whig Party also complained to British newspapers: "A day later in British diplomacy, the Netherlands has been spared another day in this vital area from the challenge of the British and European powers, their development in the Far East. It's just one more day's journey away."
