Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

v3 Chapter 360: Nordic Union observer country

Tsarist Russian Prime Minister Gorchakov was apprehensive after the conversation with Calvin Colin, the Dutch ambassador to Russia, but this time he spoke more frankly, saying:

"Our Tsarist Empire agrees with the Netherlands in principle, but, to be honest, if we don't have a harvest, then we can only do some work that doesn't work hard."

"Finally let go." Calvin Colin secretly rejoiced, finally accomplishing his mission.

"The Netherlands feels that the Russian Empire can participate in some Nordic alliance activities as an observer country. For example, if the three countries want to conduct military exercises in Northern Europe, we will notify the Russian Empire in advance and invite the Russian Empire to send observers to observe. Our exercises, to promote the understanding of our exercise process in the Russian Empire"

Gorchakov calculated: In this case, it would allow Tsarist Russia to understand the content of the exercises of the three countries and the progress of the cooperation between the three countries. At the same time, the Tsarist Russian Empire could also learn the strengths of the three countries, which is not bad.

However, he still looked at Calvin Colin calmly, as if he was unmoved by the "benefits" proposed by Calvin Colin just now.

Calvin Colin seemed very helpless, and a distressed look flashed on his face. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "The Netherlands can apply to the South American Alliance to help the Russian Empire become an observer state of the South American Alliance."

When Gorchakov heard the words, this time, a smile finally appeared on his face.

When looking at Calvin Colin, he put on an amiable expression and said, "The Tsarist Empire has been intimate with the Netherlands for centuries. The Netherlands is the Tsarist Empire's closest partner, and the Tsarist Empire is also the Netherlands' largest in Eastern Europe. The cooperation between the two countries is good news for Europe. Since the two countries are so friendly, I think we can have more cooperation in the future. Well, just as the ambassador said just now, we are in On the issue of suppressing Prussia, it is possible to cooperate"

Calvin Colin heard the words, the pain on his face disappeared, and nodded helplessly.

So, the meeting ended.

The news from St. Petersburg in Tsarist Russia soon spread to Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Dutch Foreign Minister Heisbet Von immediately felt the Dutch Royal Palace after receiving the telegram.

When William IV found out, he just smiled, as if it was insignificant.

Seeing this, Hesbet Feng felt a little helpless, His Majesty, the same His Majesty back then, was as expected.

William IV: "What's the outcome for Mike Davis on the UK side?"

The Dutch ambassador to the UK is in charge of all the diplomatic and consular affairs of the Netherlands in the UK. At the same time, he also cooperates with the Dutch Intelligence Service. Therefore, the top person in charge of the embassy is a very important position. Mike Davies is William The ambassador to the United Kingdom, personally promoted by King IV, is one of the most trusted candidates for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of William IV. We must know that the British Empire is currently the most powerful country in this century, and its embassy is also the most important in the world.

Mike Davies has proven his ability and the confidence of William IV by becoming British ambassador.

Heisbert Feng, the foreign minister, even knows that some time ago, the former Prussian ambassador Nicholas Pearson was promoted to the third minister of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs after leaving office in 1866. Many people who support Mike Davis are still It is a pity to say that he was surpassed by Nicholas Pearson.

But only he knows that His Majesty has never had such an idea, and not long ago, William IV also revealed to him that the Netherlands was going to set up a new department, and Mike Davis would be the head of the new department by then. The first minister, as for the name, has not yet thought about it, and mainly manages the influence of Dutch cultural communication.

"The UK is still hesitating," said Haysbert Fung.

William IV frowned and asked, "But clearly, where are the British concerns?"

Haysbert Feng: "It seems that the rise of Prussia has been cultivated to check and balance the alliance of Austria and Tsarist Russia, while distracting the attention of the French Empire and distracting France's threat to Britain."

William IV said curiously: "After Prussia drives out Austria and annexes other countries of the German Confederation, don't tell me that Britain has no sense of threat to Prussia?"

Haysbert Fung: "According to Mike Davies, Britain seems to be at ease because Prussia is currently surrounded by various countries, but it is not willing to provoke Prussia easily. You know, Princess Victoria was there, but became Victoria A Queen's Vision"

William IV was stunned, and then understood.

Hesbert Feng added: "The queen's eldest princess married to Prussia and became the crown princess. No matter how anti-British Bismarck was, it was undeniable that the two royal families were married, and William I had only one son, Crown Prince Frederick, the heir. The queen's son-in-law is the only heir, and the second in line is also her grandson.

The Queen should not believe that her son-in-law and grandson would make an unforgiving invasion of her country.

Therefore, the British Her Majesty has been hesitant to contain Prussia some time ago. "

Speaking of this, Heisbert Von is a little helpless. It is common for European royal families to marry. This kind of marriage is very destructive to the political arena of various countries. For example, in the United Kingdom recently, many people are opposed to the foreign alliance of the United Kingdom, because the United Kingdom is now the most powerful country in the world, and they do not think that the United Kingdom needs to rely on marriage to maintain its national status.

On the contrary, it is because of the marriage that foreign royal family members can have the line of succession to the British royal family king~lightnovelpub.net~ Now it is good that the queen has more sons and more daughters. The royal family has introduced an heir, so for the British ruling power, this will break the domestic unity. Therefore, many nobles and capitalists have proposed to the queen to ask the queen to marry the princess, so as to stabilize domestic support for the royal family. More blessings.

"A marriage between England and Prussia?" asked William IV. "What if Holland and England marry?"

Anglo-Dutch marriage? Hesbet Feng was stunned after hearing this, and glanced at William IV.

William IV was stunned for a moment, then reacted and glared at him before saying, "What are you thinking, it's not me, it's someone else"

William IV explained to him: "You may not know, I have proposed to Queen Victoria to ask for Princess Louise for my younger brother, Prince Frederick. At present, the Queen's reply is to ask for Louise. After the princess's opinion, she finally made a bet that if we win the "gladiator" between us and Prussia this time, this clever Princess Louise will become Frederick's princess, if it fails, then everything Don't mention it, just pretend it never happened."

William IV: "Now that the Tsarist Russia Empire has joined our side, then with this as a bargaining chip, we can let Mike Davis reveal this news to them"
