Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

v3 Chapter 211: The European shield we don't want to do?

Alexandra was stunned at first, the two have known each other since childhood, and now they have been husband and wife for almost two years, which is considered to be a heart-to-heart connection.

And William IV did not even shy away from Alexandra in many national events, and sometimes taught the other party how to deal with it.

And Alexandra's political talent is also very good. Often, it can bring some unexpected new ideas to William IV and give William IV unexpected gains.

This made William IV want to put pressure on Queen Sandra to cultivate his ideas.

However, how to cultivate it?

So he threw the question to the pressure Queen Sandra?

The latter was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that William IV was a bachelor, that N would directly pack and throw this kind of question to her, how should she answer this?

Prime Minister of the Netherlands?

Just kidding.

Now there is no such thing as a female prime minister in the world, and even female cabinet members have not happened in any country.

Thinking of this, Queen Alexandra shook her head with a wry smile, and said angrily, "Aren't you embarrassing me?"

Seeing this, William IV helped her to put the messy bangs behind her ears and clip them.

A lot of positions for women to participate in politics have recently appeared in his mind. Many of the limiting factors in this era have been removed by him, but some positions can be carried out.

For example, the recent incidents of frequent wars, if Alexandra works well, the benefits to Alexandra, as well as the benefits to the Netherlands under pressure from Queen Sandra's position, are incalculable. of.

The intensity of Bulgaria's entry into the war began to slowly ignite.

According to the latest report from the Amsterdam Institute for Peace, there have been more than 150 incidents of shooting and shelling in the past month alone.

This is the highest single-day data since 1865 without regular battles.

Now, with the increasing number of Chen Bing Bulgaria in the Russian Empire, a large number of people here retreated south.

Although most of the people retreated in the direction of Constantinople, a large number of people retreated in the direction of the Greek kingdom.

This has increased William III's ruling predicament, but William III is fortunately prepared, but there is no situation in which he is in a hurry.

It is precisely under the escalation of the geopolitical conflict between the Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire that relevant parties such as the United Kingdom, Austria, and even French Prussia are using the previous bilateral mechanism to play games. Even in the case of the British alliance, the Tsarist Russia Empire has also begun to seek its own allies. partners, trying to maximize profits.

On September 25, 1865, President Lincoln of the United States met with Crown Prince Nicholas of the Russian Empire in Washington, the capital. After a secret meeting, the two countries announced a strategic alliance to support each other and jointly fight against possible national invasions. mutual aid.

After the news broke, an emergency meeting was held in London.

Later, Foreign Secretary Russell announced that he was dissatisfied with the signing of an alliance in the relationship between the two countries, saying that the intervention of the Russian Empire in North American affairs violated the practice of the United Kingdom and the Russian Empire not to compete in North America at the beginning, and violated the mutual trust between the two countries. The United Kingdom expressed this. Pity.

At the same time, he said that the United Kingdom will not give up its strategic decision in North America because of this, and called on the Russian Empire not to disappoint the British people.

Austria was also dissatisfied with the Lincoln government's decision and asked the Lincoln government to withdraw from the agreement.

The Ottoman Empire even condemned the Lincoln government's decision to support the Tsarist Russia Empire and said it would make a relevant counterattack.

Subsequently, the Ottoman Empire stated that it would provide 3,000 Ottoman soldiers to the British ally of the Southern United States of America to fight against the United States of America.

The Ottoman Empire's disregard for doing what it said was surprising to both the Russian Empire and the Lincoln government.

Both countries, especially the Commonwealth of Millikin, where the Lincoln government is located, secretly remembered this action of the Ottoman Empire. Because of this seemingly indifferent action of Amdullah Aziz I, the Ottoman Empire he belonged to was later seized. After the disintegration of the Mi Federation, the hatred was still not resolved, and they were ravaged one by one, causing the people of this country's latecomers to suffer enormous pain. This is a later story.

Abdullah Aziz I stated at a press conference on October 1, 1865,

"I don't want to see Britain and Austria adopt a policy of appeasement against Tsarist Russia, making the Ottoman Empire a victim of Tsarist Russia's ambitions.

If the Ottoman Empire does not get the support of the British and other countries, then the Ottoman Empire may be ready to negotiate with the Russian Empire.

Because we don't want to be a 'European shield' for the European countries sitting on the wall in the confrontation with the social empire.

In view of the different interests of European countries, the Ottoman Empire chose to see the backs of soldiers from various countries on the front line of confrontation, rather than the backs of our Ottoman soldiers standing alone in front of the Russian Empire's artillery fire. "

To this end, the Ottoman Empire summoned the ambassadors of all European countries except the Tsarist Empire to Constantinople. Ask them to give feedback to the nations of the Ottoman Empire.

They asked all countries to make it clear whether they wanted the Ottoman Empire to negotiate concessions with the Russian Empire, and if not, they should respond to the Ottoman Empire's request for countries to send troops.

The actions of the Ottoman Empire made European countries in a dilemma.

Europe has formed a need to stand in line with differences.

The United Kingdom and Austria resolutely supported the Ottoman Empire. The United Kingdom expressed its support for sending half of the ships of the Mediterranean Fleet to the Black Sea, intending to control the actions of Tsarist Russia at sea and compress the space for activities in the sea of ​​Tsarist Russia. At the same time, London will also send 20,000 troops Landed on the Bulgarian front.

Austria also said that on the basis of assisting the Ottoman Empire in protecting Serbia, an additional 30,000 troops would arrive in Bulgaria to form a coalition with the United Kingdom to fight the southern invasion of the Russian Empire~lightnovelpub.net~ Compared with the Ottoman Empire's "innocent statement" ” and “reasonable demands”, while the Tsarist Russian Empire was portrayed by the United Kingdom and Austria as a “warmonger” and an “invader.”

But these are not important what the Russian Empire should do and how to act, Alexander II will not pay attention.

However, after Austria increased its troops to Serbia, on the border of Austria's mainland and Hungary, the Tsarist Empire sent a large army to suppress the border, which caused constant complaints from the people in the two places.

Hungary, in particular, was originally dissatisfied with Austria's rule, but it was still calm.

But this time, Joseph I made such a provocation to the Tsarist Russian Empire without convening the entire imperial parliament to express his position, which made the Hungarians, who had always been good to the Tsarist Russian Empire, intensified their dissatisfaction.

More opposition to the rule of Joseph I of Austria.

To this end, Vienna could only decentralize power again, so that the anger caused by the Hungarian politicians could be quelled.

However, this also laid more roots for the subsequent split between the two places.
