Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 54

"Mr. Pearson, you seem to be a little late."

The wry smile on Prime Minister Bismarck's face, and the dissatisfaction on William I's face all showed that the meeting between the three was not a pleasant one from the beginning.

The last King William I, the West respected the right, and Bismarck sat on the right hand.

Pearson was placed on the top left. After he sat down and the attendant put down the cakes and tea, William I waved his sleeves and all exited the king's exclusive office reception room.

Faced with the two giants of Prussia, ordinary people have long lost their peace of mind, not to mention the anger revealed by the expressions of the two people, which will erupt at any time, which is not a good sign.

However, Pearson smiled, took the teacup and sipped it gracefully, and then put it down gently, as if he was afraid that the teacup would be damaged.

Bismarck couldn't help looking at William I. Seeing that he was ready to show off, he hurriedly shook his head at him.

Moments later, after tasting the Prussian specialty dessert, Pearson said with a respectful face: "Actually, I'm here so late because I just helped Prussia a big favor."

He had met Bismarck, but during this period of time, William I, except for the first time when he sent his credentials, the two never saw each other again.

Pearson looked at William I and scrutinized it. He felt that it was difficult to identify.

A face with a Chinese character, his appearance is dignified, but at the moment, it seems that because of the use of kerosene lamps at night, the light is not very clear, making him look a little stubborn, his face is white, his eyes are black, his face is morbid, haggard.

It is said that this King William I can eat and drink normally. Many people guess that it is not a problem to live another twenty or thirty years, but it looks like this now. Pearson's mind moved quickly.

It seems that William I and Bismarck already knew the dilemma that Prussia was facing now. Even with the plundering behavior of the Netherlands around the world, the desire in the heart has been raised, so you can't sleep and feel exhausted?

He couldn't help but sigh that the benefits of wealth and silk are intoxicating people's hearts.

When summoned by these two Prussian bosses, Pearson quickly ran his mind and analyzed the purpose of the two. According to the investigation in Prussia in the past two months, he found that Prussia is really a strange and magical world. The people and things here are rare to make him curious.

No wonder His Majesty William IV, when chatting with him, specially asked him to come to Prussia, and the first person he made friends with was Bismarck. This person, in Prussia, is the one who speaks his mind. This is from William I just now. To get angry, Bismarck's movements fell into his eyes, and he could know a general idea.

According to his judgment, the two would force the Netherlands to compromise on their goals before the showdown, and today's summons can only prove that these two pillars of Prussia have discovered Prussia's unique situation.

Even if the two of them have already made some compromises, he is not sure yet.

Pearson had a kind smile on his face, but the words "Just did Prussia a big favor" made William I stunned.

Even Bismarck, who had always maintained a friendly expression next to him, was a little surprised.

Although William I and Bismarck talked about when they were negotiating just now, Prussia and the Netherlands have started closer cooperation to increase Prussia's strength in all aspects, especially now that the Netherlands is obviously unwilling to be a small country, Prussia can Use the ambition of the Dutch to accomplish some things that Prussia cannot do clearly, such as...

However, although the two made up their minds to make a good relationship with the Netherlands, it can be said that Pearson will be the character they will try to win when they meet. I was ready to sing with a black face and a white face, but now it is suddenly lost by Pearson. This sentence made the two of them stunned. When the season came, the two of them had planned to use the night to make things difficult for each other, but they could not continue.

Principal Pearson will also be too direct, too blunt.

William I laughed in anger, and sneered:

"Oh, what a big job, I'm a little curious, why does the Prussian difficulty need the help of the Dutch ambassador?"

Bismarck's face also showed the usual iron-blooded ruthlessness, and the previous smile had long since been frozen.

The previous sympathy for Pearson's colleagues when they met, but now because of the slight insult to Prussia by the other party, his impression in Bismarck's heart plummeted.

"Ambassador Pearson is joking," Bismarck said: "I don't know what Ambassador Pearson said, but I know it will affect the firm friendship between the Netherlands and Prussia, especially the three-country agreement just signed. , eventually invalidating this agreement, for Ambassador Pearson, the youngest Dutch diplomat in a century, the future will be cut off because of this, it is not impossible.”

It sounds like she's thinking of me, but in fact it's revealing a threat!

Pierson secretly said something powerful.

However, fortunately, he already had a draft.

Seeing William I, he also sneered with dissatisfaction on his face. Try to increase the pressure on him.

Pearson seemed fearless, and said with a dignified expression: "What is my personal future? The national safety of Prussia, the great ally of the Netherlands, is the most important thing. I personally hope Prussia very much. Looking around the surrounding countries, Prussia is the most suitable for my appetite. Too bad I'm not Prussian."

"You can join Prussia. When the time comes, you and I will cooperate, and I believe that Europe will be able to let you and I fly at that time," Bismarck invited.

"I think so too, but unfortunately I still think about it in the end. Continuing to make more contributions to the international friendship between the Netherlands and Prussia is also a kind of loving dedication to like and help Prussia."

"Then I don't know what Ambassador Pearson just said about helping us. What is it?" William I asked indifferently.

"Speaking of which, of course it is a good thing to help Prussia," Pearson said with a smile.

William I laughed, but said in a gloomy voice:

"Ambassador Pearson is so young, I'm afraid it's not long since I took up this position. I've seen and dealt with countless ambassadors from various countries. When I was a prince, I also worked as a diplomat for a while. I can also be regarded as your senior. As a senior, I would like to remind you that sometimes it is good to be young and energetic.

However, depending on who the target is, Prussia is neither the Duchy of Württemberg nor the Grand Duchy of Saxony, the two most powerful leaders of the Prussian-German Confederation.

Even you, William IV of the Netherlands, would not dare to interfere in Prussia's international exchanges, let alone you, let me give you a hint, look at the food, the ability to do things, the ability to be a man, if you think that you are in Württemberg and Saxony You can do whatever you want, in Sweden, the atmosphere is good and your self-confidence is soaring, and you think the job is good, then, for you, it will be a wrong perception, really, you may be wrong, Prussia doesn't need your help "

William I's eyes were full of ridicule and jokes. The dignified sixth-largest country in Europe was actually considered by the ambassador of a second-rate European country to be able to intervene in Prussia's national affairs. This was born when his self-confidence was inflated to that level.

27 years old, just a kid, William I glanced at Pearson with disdain.

However, it is Bismarck who is somewhat different from him. Because he is the only one who has dealt with Pearson, and it is the kind of professional confrontation between diplomats and forged a way of dealing. The two know each other's way of doing things in detail. Pearson just said that, although Bismarck was dissatisfied, but , he didn't think Pearson would be a rumour-monger.

However, what is it that makes the other party so calm and not afraid of the threats and pressure tests from the two of them?

"That's right, not necessarily!"

Pearson's smile was still the same, his words were like nails, and he pushed back without any fear!

Bismarck looked at Pearson coldly.

Pierson was calm, unafraid, and even had a smile on his face.

William I showed a little impatience on his face.

Seeing this, Pierson knew that the atmosphere was enough, it was time!

So the smile on his face disappeared, and his face was full of dissatisfaction and seriousness.

This change was so fast that William I and the two almost thought they were dazzled by old age before, and a smile had never appeared on Pearson's face.

I saw him say carefully:

"On January 20, Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I and Tsar Alexander II met in St. Petersburg. The two countries announced that they would assist in maintaining the stability of the two countries and would not invade each other's territory. At the same time, they also confirmed that the two countries would On the Crimea and Venice issues, mutual understanding of each other's core issues,

Many people are analyzing, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Is this the point where the two countries seek common cooperation on the point of difference in issues, in order to pave the way for future alliances. "

William I's discoloration changed. The meeting between Russia and Austria last month really touched the nerves of everyone in Prussia, even William I. Even the guy Franz Joseph I was in St. Petersburg in those two days. He stayed for two days, and he had insomnia for those two days. He was afraid that when he fell asleep, when he woke up, there would be bad news about the alliance between the two countries from St. Petersburg. , to relieve tension.

So, deep memories, but unstoppable embarrassing memories.

Bismarck was a bystander, until Pearson was on the top of his heart, but Wilhelm I got it right.

He secretly said a lot, so he coughed twice, William I came to his senses, and looked at Pearson, who was still serious, in dissatisfaction. This time, he didn't say anything to threaten Pearson.

An ambassador who has never seen strength, and an ambassador who makes him suffer, are very different in weight. At the same time, he also regretted it a little bit. He had just forgotten that Bismarck had reminded him to pay attention to this person from the beginning, but since the meeting until now, he seemed to be in a state of irritability and did not calm down.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Bismarck with some horror. Bismarck sighed and nodded.

William I glanced at Pearson in disbelief. This young, outrageous Dutch ambassador, from the very beginning...

Bismarck looked at Pearson, and the more he looked, the more he liked it. It was a kind of respect and emotion that the peers fought more and cherished each other.

However, even if you dare to embarrass our King of Prussia, even if I like you again, I have to beat you first, so as not to get carried away."
