When Ye Tianfeng put forward this proposal on behalf of Wang Guorui, both the British and German ministers couldn't help smiling knowingly. They felt that everyone could barely accept this proposal. ¤, and this plan makes both parties feel that it is quite acceptable. After all, it satisfies the interests of both parties. Although it is not very satisfactory, it is also the bottom line that both parties can reach together. So this kind of plan is also the one they are most happy with, so they all start to think about some plans in their hearts.

"Mr. British Minister, can you agree?" Ye Tianfeng asked the British Minister.

The British Minister replied: "We can barely consider this plan, but is the Netherlands willing to sell part of the management rights of Rodan Port and allow our British Empire to send a small amount of troops here? If our British Empire can obtain a part of Rodan Port Management rights, plus sending a small number of troops to station, then we don't have much opinion."

The focus of the British is actually on this Ludan Port, because the Ludan Port is just aligned with London, the capital of the United Kingdom. Of course, they cannot allow the Germans to take such a dangerous position. So their focus is on this port of Ludan, and the UK is worried that once the Netherlands and Germany marry, it is considered a formal alliance, and the Germans will take the opportunity to ask for the right to garrison the port of Ludan, and then they can give it to the capital of the British when necessary. That name, that is what the British are most worried about.

If the Netherlands can give up the port of Ludan, there will be no problem. As long as the Dutch are willing to give up part of the management rights of the port of Ludan, and allow the UK to send a small amount of troops, it can also be regarded as the British occupation of Ludan. port. Although the garrison of hundreds of people is a drop in the bucket, it represents the prestige of their British Empire and the interests of the British Empire. As long as the port of Rodan does not fall into the hands of the Germans. Then everything is no problem. Therefore, the focus of the British's purpose lies in the port of Rodan. They don't care who the first heir in the Netherlands marries, so they don't care about the marriage of the first heir in the Netherlands!

When the German minister heard this plan, although it was a pity, he didn't feel too disappointed. Because the Germans wanted to win over the Netherlands, in fact, their goal of Rodan Port was only one of the reasons. There is another more important reason, that is, Germany wants to implement the Schlieffen Plan. The so-called Schlieffen plan is to use the Belgian traffic network to enter France after quickly attacking Belgium through Germany, and then quickly cut up the French troops along the way, and finally wiped out a large number of French troops, paralyzed France and forced France surrender. Once France surrenders, the Germans can use their forces to go back and fight the Russians again. Although the Russians seem to have the ability to mobilize millions of troops, the industrial level of the Russians is so poor that they cannot even have a gun per person. However, the huge number of advantages is not something that the Germans can easily offend, so they naturally choose to hope to defeat France before the Russian army can be mobilized. Then fight the Russians again. This is actually a way to beat the time difference, and in terms of Chinese tactics, it is an out-and-out Tian Ji horse racing tactic. Use a small number of troops to delay the defense of the Russians, then use heavy troops to destroy the French first, and then go back to the decisive battle again.

The core of the German Schlieffen plan is one, that is, the Dutch should not intervene. Once the Dutch intervene, it will become an important dead spot of the German Schlieffen plan, and it will die at the touch of a finger. A little Dutch intervened, and when necessary, they could start sending troops into Belgian territory after the Germans entered France. Then occupy those transportation hubs, and the supplies of the hundreds of thousands of German troops in France will be completely cut off. That would surely kill him. Although the German army is very powerful, it does not mean that they are also very powerful without guns, ammunition and supplies. In the wars of this era, an army without bullets and shells is even easier to kill than a pig.

The Netherlands will be Germany's deathbed, and Germany will not sit back and watch the Netherlands and the UK come together. But now Ye Tianfeng proposed this plan on behalf of Wang Guorui, which is to satisfy their respective interests. The British prevented the Germans from sneaking up on them at any time by placing their navy in the port of Rodan. The Germans hope to be able to pull the Dutch and the Chinese, and finally implement the Schlieffen plan safely and worry-free, so that there is a key to victory.

"I have no objection!" replied the German envoy.

"In this case, I will ask the country for instructions, but I think they will agree!" said the British minister.

Britain quickly responded. As long as the Dutch hand over part of the management rights of Rodan Port and allow the British garrison, they will also give up the marriage plan. Everyone is happy with this choice, and it can be regarded as saving the Dutch from a catastrophe between the two countries. After all, it is not fun to be caught between two big countries and a war is imminent. Anyway, isn't it just handing over part of the management rights of Ludan Port, and allowing hundreds of soldiers to be stationed? Hundreds of soldiers are nothing, so let them be stationed. Anyway, the income right of Ludan Port is still in his own hands, so that is all right. Soon the Dutch parliament also began to formulate discussions on the transfer of management rights and the garrison with the UK, and these have nothing to do with Ye Tianfeng, the Chinese envoy to the Netherlands and Wang Guorui's personal representative. The envoy left the scene.

"Mr. Minister, our Lord Wang asked me to tell you that I hope that your general staff can keep the Schlieffen plan a secret and don't leak it. We can only help you here, otherwise we can't help you at all!" Ye Tian Feng said.

"What Schlieffen plan?" The German envoy obviously didn't understand. He just received an order to complete the marriage, and Germany told him that the Ludan Port was only second.

"I don't know what the Schlieffen plan is, that is, what our Lord Wang asked me to tell you, so you can tell the country like this. The Schlieffen plan must be kept a secret, otherwise I am afraid this time there will be another disturbance! Lord Wang Tell me, once the British or the French know about the Schlieffen plan, the consequences will be disastrous!" Ye Tianfeng said.

In China, Wang Guorui was relieved to receive a telegram that the Dutch problem was finally resolved, and Queen Wilhelmina could finally sleep peacefully. In the past few days, Queen Wilhelmina has been very worried about the affairs of the country. The Netherlands is likely to become a battlefield where two great powers go to war, and the Netherlands will be in dire straits. This feeling must be very bad. This feeling is like that during the Russo-Japanese War, Northeast China became a battlefield between the two countries. People fight life and death, no matter who loses or wins in the end, they just pat their **** and leave, and the one who loses in the end is the side that is the battlefield. The Netherlands has a small territory and a dense population. Once it becomes a battlefield between the two countries, the consequences will be disastrous. Wilhelmina has to care about this issue, after all, she is the leader of the Nassau family, and she is also the Queen of the Netherlands! Now that the problem is solved, she can finally sleep in peace.

"It's thanks to Hong'er that you thought of this this time, otherwise we might all fall into our own pit. Hong'er, you have made some progress, so come and sleep with me tonight!" Wang Guorui said.

Zheng Hong showed a smile. Obviously, it felt good for Wang Guorui to let her serve her today. It can be said that the relationship between the two has recovered a lot.

"The reason why the Germans and the British were unable to reconcile this time is that their interests are in conflict. In fact, the way we can break the situation is to use their information asymmetry. The Germans know the bottom line of the British. But the British didn't know the bottom line of the Germans, and this was the basis for the two sides to finally reach a condition. Although the Germans hoped to get the Ludan Port, the main purpose of the Germans was not the Ludan Port, but the Schlieffen plan The implementation of the plan. The British only saw the Rodan Port, but did not think of the Schlieffen plan. We also ignored it before. We know that the Germans have the Schlieffen plan, so people subconsciously know the Schlieffen plan for the British. But in fact the Schlieffen plan The British didn't know the plan~lightnovelpub.net~ The British didn't know that the Germans formulated the Schlieffen plan, so their eyes have always been on the Rodan Port. As long as the Germans abandon the Rodan Port Of course, the British would not take it seriously. Although the Germans lost Rodan Port, they guaranteed the safe implementation of the Schlieffen Plan, so they must have achieved most of their wishes. Although the Germans failed to Benefits are maximized, but the bottom line can also be reached. The British did not know that the Germans had the Schlieffen plan, so they thought that they had obtained the Ludan Port, which meant that safety was guaranteed. But in fact this was not the case. Instead, they Let the Germans implement the Schlieffen plan without any scruples. The reason why the Germans are desperate is because of the Schlieffen plan, not the Rodan Port. Now both parties can be satisfied, so they can be regarded as reconciliation !” Wang Guorui introduced.

However, Wang Guorui then changed the subject and said: "The Russians are ready to retreat, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces have been captured, and the peace negotiations with other countries are also ready to start. This war is completely over. Finally, I want to announce the succession The one thing that comes down is that I want to be the emperor!"

When everyone heard Wang Guorui's words "I want to be the emperor", everyone's eyes lit up immediately. Everyone knew that this time it was finally time to win the highest honor, and then at this time, they could get the chance to seal their wives and sons! We have struggled for several years, isn't it just for today? (to be continued.) u
