Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

v3 Chapter 311: ElBaradei beats Napoleon III

"Prussia kicked Austria out of the game and annexed other countries of the German Confederation. This simple and crude action attracted the world to look at Pulis, and it was already put into the toolbox of danger and ambition. It is hard to imagine that other countries would still Obediently joining the new organization created by Prussia, they are all afraid that the organization they joined will become the next German Confederation, and that they will become the target country of Prussia’s annexation.”

Speaking of this, Bismarck praised: "Britain and other big countries are also facing the same problem. William IV saw this right, so he launched these organizations one after another as a medium-sized country, and small countries joined in one after another. A rope with a lot of strength, which makes other big countries scruples.

If everyone didn't know the energy of these organizations before, this time through the use of the French Empire, at this moment, I think no one will not be envious of the influence of the two organizations dominated by the Netherlands.

They can't wait to take it for themselves, I think, the greedy British will make a move soon."

William I's face changed and he asked anxiously: "The Prime Minister means that the United Kingdom may take the opportunity of this cooperation to sanction the French Empire and the Netherlands and other countries, choose to take the same position, approach the Hague International Court of Justice organization, and then choose to join in"

In that case, William I believed that the United Kingdom that really joined would have the ability to suppress the influence of the Netherlands and become the dominant force of the organization. Show that no big country dares to underestimate each other again.

If it is used by the United Kingdom, then for Prussia, there will be a gap between the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom, and this will become even further. Therefore, William I looked at Bismarck very anxiously.

Bismarck said solemnly: "If we were in the position of Queen Victoria, what would Her Majesty think?"

William I opened his mouth and had to admit that if he were the king of England, he would also take the opportunity to join the organization in order to control this huge force.

William I said coldly: "No, Britain must be prevented from gaining this power. Prussia does not have it, and Britain should not have it."

When Bismarck heard it, they all nodded. Obviously, they didn't want Britain to get these weapons and hurt Prussia at that time.

.........

"Your Majesty means that the UK will choose to join the International Court of Justice in The Hague and try to control the International Red Cross Society in the near future?"

Queen Alexandra asked incredulously.

"Not bad," William IV said with certainty. "Britain is notorious for its greed, and the display of these two forces has already moved many careerists."

Queen Alexandra looked at William IV worriedly: "William, will this make the Netherlands a good ship? It is very likely that it will be squeezed by the great powers because of this?"

William IV looked at Alexandra in surprise, "Do you think not only Britain would think so, but also other countries?"

Alexandra nodded, "I think Prussia should also want to master this power."

Alexandra has been following William IV's words and deeds recently, and has begun to appear in William IV's office as William IV, the secretary of the Dutch king, and even has a taste of the king's think tank. .

This was deliberately done by William IV. Women are attentive. In the international political arena, the facts of later generations have proved that women can still hold the upper half of the sky. The future prime ministers, presidents, and various cabinet ministers in Europe and the Americas all occupy a lot of positions, and they are no worse than men. Among them, Merkel in Germany and Hillary in Millikin are internationally famous. figure.

Their advantages different from men have been exerted to the extreme, and it is precisely because of this that William IV has the idea of ​​​​training female politicians. Be queen.

The only person who can be trusted is his wife, Queen Alexandra.

So, as the vanguard of women in Dutch politics.

William IV chose Alexandra. As for how to push her up later, William IV has planned a plan, but it is not perfect yet.

However, the director general of the International Women's Association has greatly changed Alexandra's overall view, and the rest is the next experience.

Alexandra: "William, I think that when you asked me to create the International Federation of Women's Associations, you must have come with ulterior motives, but you must have a plan of your own."

William IV: "Yes, but it's not the time yet. Now that countries have ideas about the International Hague Tribunal Gill International Red Cross Society, we have to take a good defense."

Alexandra: "How to prevent?"

William IV: "Naturally there is a plan".

......

British Empire, London.

Queen Victoria and Prime Minister Disraeli are also talking about the two organisations.

Queen Victoria has inherited the British throne for 38 years. She has experienced the changes in Europe in the past 40 years. Therefore, the strange changes in Europe in the past ten years have surprised her to find that it is different from the previous 30 years. In particular, the rapid rise of the Netherlands has made her unable to react until now.

In less than ten years, the Netherlands has become an existence to compete with the French Empire and other European powers?

The ability of the little guy of William IV made Queen Victoria have to carefully explore it step by step. Now she regrets that she did not insist on the Anglo-Dutch marriage, which made the relationship between the two countries even tighter.

Put the Netherlands under the British Continental Royal Marriage Network.

"His Excellency Prime Minister Disraeli, in any case, we should maintain influence within both organisations"

"Your Majesty, the Netherlands seems to be very vigilant in this regard. Although we have hinted that we want to join it for many days, we seem to be blocked. Even Spain and other countries seem to be unwilling to join us alone."

Queen Victoria's eyelids wrinkled, "Go on"

Disraeli said with a wry smile: "It seems that they have reached a consensus that if the UK wants to join, then the UK must join with other continental powers, not just the UK."

Queen Victoria: "To check us?"

Disraeli: "It's good to think about it. You know, the UK's strength is too strong. They are not willing to accept the UK's dominance in it and lose the ability of the countries in the organization to maintain themselves."

Queen Victoria said dissatisfiedly: "It means that if the United Kingdom wants to join, it must wait for the big countries to join before they can enter together?"

"That's pretty much what it means, but" Disraeli said helplessly after seeing the Queen's dissatisfied expression: "The meaning from there is that they will not promote the participation of major powers. If the United Kingdom wants to join, we need to go to our own. Convince the other great powers to join with the UK, otherwise they will not agree to a single power joining."

"What, what logic is this, we apply for membership, and we still need us to persuade others? Is the UK also used as a tool?" Queen Victoria was greatly dissatisfied.

Disraeli sighed: "This is their country's response"

Queen Victoria heard that, although she was dissatisfied, she had to admit that the United Kingdom must remain a gentleman, either continue to apply, coordinate with other major powers, or directly cut off the plan to join.

In the end, the queen relented.

"I see that Prussia, Austria-Hungary and Tsarist Russia also have ideas. Let Russell's foreign ministry make contact accordingly, and the French Empire will face it. Of course, more importantly, the leader of these two organizations, the Netherlands, must be in the When communicating, give a certain amount of pressure, doesn’t the Netherlands care about the Kingdom of Siam very much? I think, let’s start with this.”

Disraeli also agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty"

......

As the plan of the International Hague Tribunal, which the British side chose to join, became more implemented, British diplomats began to travel to and from Prussia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Tsarist Russian Empire, etc. When the news broke in the "European Times", it seemed that other Great powers such as the Ottoman Empire also sent envoys to Amsterdam, fearing isolation.

This made the French Empire government and Napoleon III very afraid, because if these countries successfully joined the International Court of Justice in The Hague, which is now sanctioning the French Empire, then maybe these countries will face a bill to sanction France together.

At that time, the scope of the sanctions imposed on the French Empire will increase exponentially.

The French Empire would also be further isolated from the international community.

If you want to join these big countries, the remaining small and medium-sized countries around the world that have not joined will be eager to move, don't guess, and know that they will definitely choose to join.

As a result, the French Empire sent missions to various countries to lobby, trying to prevent countries from joining the organization, but it seemed to be ineffective.

This worried Napoleon III and the French imperial government.

The situation in European countries seems to be developing in a direction that is more unfavorable to the French Empire.

Napoleon III was at a loss with his Prime Minister Olivier, and it was at this time that William IV made his move.

A telegram from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, made them overjoyed~lightnovelpub.net~ On August 23rd, the French government and the International Society of the Red Cross announced at the same time that Director-General ElBaradei would visit Paris to meet with Napoleon III , Versailles has confirmed this.

ElBaradei's spokesman said on the day that ElBaradei will also hold a working meeting and lunch with French Prime Minister Olivier in Paris, France's largest newspaper Le Figaro reported.

ElBaradei "hopes to discuss with France how to bring peace to the Kingdom of Siam as soon as possible," the spokesman said.

In addition, ElBaradei is also in contact with the Bangkok side of the Kingdom of Siam to make arrangements for his visit to Bangkok.

The report pointed out that on August 20, Director General ElBaradei wrote letters to Paris and Bangkok through the Embassy of the French Empire in the Netherlands and the Embassy of the Kingdom of Siam in the Netherlands, respectively, requesting cooperation with Napoleon III and Rama IV of the Kingdom of Siam. meet the world.

The Palace of Versailles previously said that since the French Empire launched a military operation against the Kingdom of Siam, the International Society of the Red Cross had not tried to contact Napoleon III once, so the Palace of Versailles was dissatisfied with this.

Now that Napoleon III has changed his attitude, it is clear that the situation has changed.
