Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 91

When news of Oslo's economic and military alliance between Sweden and the Netherlands spread across Europe and even North America in just one day. It caused a wow.

April 19, 1862.

Inside the Embassy of the Kingdom of Prussia in France, Paris.

Bismarck is meeting with this unexpected guest today.

This person is the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Tolbeck, the legendary Prime Minister who was rumored to be so angry that William III abandoned the throne to his son William IV.

Since Tolbek came here, he secretly observed and found that this person is very stable, yes, that is stable.

In Prussia, the military and political minister von Byrne played a stable role, which is why he could not worry about the rear, and he could fight with Mao Qi's two swords.

After all, Prussia's plans are not small, but the Netherlands now has an adventurous William IV. If a stable prime minister is added, it will benefit the Netherlands a lot.

As soon as the two met, before taking a sip of tea, they began to fight each other.

Bismarck secretly said: "Let me try it out. How many pounds and how many taels do you have?"

Bismarck: "The Netherlands has been making frequent moves recently, which is dazzling, but the gains are the envy of Prussia. Prussia wants to cut off the interests of the Netherlands."

Sure enough, as Pearson said, this guy has nothing to do, and likes to attack others all the time without any reason.

Sure enough, as His Majesty said, this is a master who can't be idle.

Tolbeck responded with a smile on his face: "Prussia's plans are not small. The northern part of the German Confederation has almost become a province under the leadership of Prime Minister Bismarck. It can be seen that the implementation of the North German customs union in Prussia is indeed extraordinary. Recently, they received letters from the heads of government of the Grand Duchy of Saxony and the Kingdom of Hanover. They want to enter into a strategic agreement with the Principality of Luxembourg, which is also under the jurisdiction of the Netherlands of the German Confederation, but the Netherlands is still considering it. Allies too, aren't they?"

Threatening me with the German Customs Union?

Bismarck naturally won't admit defeat, "The two countries are allies, but I heard that what the Netherlands has done in South Africa is a bit unkind. We and France use real gold and silver, and the local soldiers support the Transvaal Republic. , while the Netherlands uses the East Indian indigenous army, the Netherlands does this, but it makes us and France uncomfortable."

"coming"

Tolbek said without changing his face: "That's not a good word, starting from January 1st this year, our Kingdom of the Netherlands has enacted a law, and our great His Majesty William IV personally signed the bill, as long as the nationality belongs to the Dutch, no matter what. Wherever they come from, we all recognize their identity as nationals of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, there are tens of millions of indigenous and other ethnic groups in the East Indies, and now after the promulgation of the Act, these people are all Dutch nationals.”

Speaking of this, Tolbeck raised his head to look at Bismarck and said proudly: "Therefore, the population of the Netherlands is now 16 million, not 6 million before."

Did the Netherlands really accept all those natives?

Bismarck was surprised.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

Do other skin colors that don't belong to white people really have one heart and one mind with the Netherlands? Does the Netherlands feel credible about their loyalty?

"In this way, the Netherlands has become a populous country, but in this way," Bismarck sneered slightly, "Sweden no longer has an advantage in the Holland League?"

Tolbeck: "In fact, Sweden and the Netherlands have a simple relationship, and the alliance is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. It is our three countries, but they are in each other's minds, just like this time Prussia actually helped France to choose an African colony."

Bismarck asked solemnly with an incomprehensible face: "What do you mean, is there any problem? If so, I will definitely give your opinion to our Majesty William I."

Tolbeck: "In this case, I really have something to say. I have heard that there are quite a few people in Schleswig and Holstein in Denmark who are trying to oppose the rule of Denmark. Saying that they are using the Prussian flag and are doing something that splits Denmark."

"It turned the gun on Schleswig and Holstein?" Bismarck looked suspiciously at Tolbeck, who was drinking tea with his head down.

I just don't know, how much does he know?

Will my plan with King William I be guessed by him?

For a while, Bismarck's thinking made the office where the two of them were suddenly quiet.

The atmosphere was dignified, but Tolbeck didn't care and continued to sip the tea, as if he was tasting the finest products in the world.

A moment later, Bismarck asked Tolbeck in an unprecedented and serious manner: "I wonder what your Excellency thinks, what benefits can Prussia win for the Netherlands in this meeting of the four prime ministers?"

Finally confessed!

Tolbek showed a sincere smile and said, "I think the Netherlands can replace the king of the Kingdom of Greece. Our predecessor, King William III, is a good candidate."

After Bismarck was stunned for a moment, he looked at Tolbeck strangely, "Your Excellency won't be ready to 'exile a thousand miles' the former king because of the conflict with His Majesty William III."

Tolbeck first saw Bismarck's eyes revealing and was curious, and then he realized that the whole European upper class knew about him and William III.

So he smiled bitterly: "How can I have such an ability, this is what our majesty means, you know, our majesty is still single and has no children."

When Bismarck heard about this person, he immediately made up his mind: William IV of the Netherlands had a great king and a young prince, but His Majesty William IV was single. The Greek kingdom, which is lower than the Netherlands and has a longer history, has cut off the power of William III within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and can completely control the entire Netherlands. The more Bismarck thought about it, the more curious and amazed he was of Wilhelm IV.

"What can Prussia gain?" He was amazed, and the actual benefits were what he saw.

"If Prussia can lead the support of the northern German Confederation, when we capture Schleswig and Holstein in the future Prussia," Tolbeck said heavily: "The Netherlands must support Prussia's position."

Restraining the restlessness in his heart, and the shock that Tolbek actually knew about his plan, Bismarck said, "What if we don't support it?"

Tolbeck smiled and said: "Then, I think it should be next month that Denmark can request Sweden to form the Nordic Alliance."

If the Nordic Alliance is formed, Prussia will not only face Denmark with a population of about 2 million, but also Sweden and Norway, which were originally part of the Kalmar Alliance. The three countries together have 10 million people, and Sweden Being so close to Denmark, Sweden wants to support Denmark at any time.

In this way, this is contrary to the strategy of rapid occupation that he formulated with William I, which made European countries react to it and has become a reality.

"It seems that Your Excellency and His Majesty William IV have decided on us?" Bismarck stared sharply at Tolbeck with a wry smile.

Unruly!

As expected, he was as ambitious as His Majesty said.

How can such a person be willing to be mediocre?

"Cooperation is only for the benefit of both parties. Don't forget, Your Excellency, I am also very busy helping the Kingdom of Prussia!"

Bismarck looked at Tolbek puzzled, waiting for his explanation.

"Don't forget, Your Excellency, the current Greek kingdom is in power, but the most hated Prussian in the German Confederation is Prince Otto of the Bavarian kingdom, who is also a **** of the Austrian Empire. If the Prussian ally, the Netherlands, can replace him, will the Prussian Royal Palace be able to reduce the number of South Africans? The strength of the German Confederation and the Central German Confederation?"

It is so!

Bismarck said with a smile: "As expected of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, I was very interested in Pearson. What I didn't expect was that the political elite in the Netherlands seemed to have reached an eruption period, and there were so many. It seems that European All countries have underestimated the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and it seems that things that countries will suffer in the future will happen more often.”

Tolbeck knew that Prussia supported William III to succeed Otto as king of Greece, and it was done!

On April 20, 1862, Olivier, the Prime Minister of the French Empire, Bismarck, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, and Tolbek, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, will meet with the British Prime Minister Henry John Tapper (also known as Paris) in Paris, the capital of the French Empire. Viscount Merston) held talks.

However, on April 19, 1862 ~www.mtlnovel.com~ on the eve of the talks, Marc, the French Foreign Minister, said that the French Empire was excluded from issues such as the situation in the Kingdom of Belgium and the security of the French in the Republic of Transvaal in South Africa. There will be no possibility of making any concessions. This person within the French Empire, who has always been known for being tough and in charge of the French diplomatic system, directly expresses his support for the British Empire's support for the implementation of the current policy of the Kingdom of Belgium, the British ** team. "Disappointment" in constant signals such as the brutal attack on the Transvaal Republic in South Africa.

Mark also made it clear to the newspaper reporters who had already rushed to Paris: "We will not make any concessions to the British. This is the will of our French, and it is also the point of view that the Netherlands and Prussia believe should be adhered to. Therefore, as you just listened to That's it. Concession to Britain, which is completely excluded"

Benin, spokesman for the Dutch Prime Minister, also said: "Our team is disappointed by the signals from London and Brussels over the past few days."

Before the talks, the three countries had already condemned Britain's military actions against the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State in South Africa. The two sides have been deadlocked on this issue for several weeks. The different views on the development of the situation in Belgium have caused the relationship to deteriorate sharply, and both sides are trying to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.

Rabe, spokesman for the Prussian Prime Minister, said that it is entirely possible for the four countries to abruptly end the escalating disputes after this meeting. "We cannot rule out anything, this is a completely possible situation, just like we think that the British should not It's like having a fantasy"
