Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

v3 Chapter 368: Embassy of the Netherlands in the UK

British Empire, London, inside the Dutch embassy in the UK.

​​

"It's mediocrity to not be envied by others! Have you ever seen a big country that is truly good-neighborly and friendly?"

​​

The words of William IV made Heisbertvon look ugly, and he was about to persuade him again.

​​

At this moment, next to him was the Dutch ambassador to the UK, Mike. Davies cut in gracefully and in a timely manner: "But the foreign secretary's worries are right, and, with Queen Victoria, the Tories and the Whigs forming the internal contradictions of the upper echelons of the British Empire, the Netherlands doesn't have to do it herself, Your Majesty, I I also think that they will all do it on their own first, so it’s better for us to back away for now.”

​​

This year, with the Dutch Foreign Minister Heisbet. Feng is also a 38-year-old Dutch ambassador to the UK, Mike. Davis may have grown up in a wealthy family since he was a child, so he is pampered, his temperament is very elegant, gentleman, and intelligent and restrained.

​​

This is similar to the old rival, former ambassador to Prussia and now the third minister of the Netherlands, Nicholas. Pearson stands out differently.

​​

They were hailed as the double-track operation of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

​​

Heisbert Von gave him a grateful glance.

​​

These fell into William IV seriously, looked at him, and pondered for a while.

​​

Let a person who used to be horizontal and vertical in the Netherlands and even internationally to let their counterparts from all over the world retreat three points, now chooses to retreat in front of his own men and previous opponents, the psychological factor in this is definitely a big problem, some people will be because of this And they are extremely suspicious of the people around them, and some people can't even bear it and directly slap old accounts and insult each other, but William IV knew that,

​​

Heisbert Von is not such a shallow person, and Mike. Davis is not the kind of person who only knows how to measure.

​​

William IV looked at the two, but he was full of confidence in the diplomatic elites of the Netherlands in the diplomatic field of the future world. Although Bismarck is currently apprehensive, but after a fight, William IV was only in his heart. Thought, as for the American diplomatic whale of the 1870s, Seward, who has already been disheartened by him, will be the first to get out if the Dutch-born becomes president in this election.

​​

As for England, the rivalry of Disraeli and Creston, from the late 1860s to the late 1880s, has been fighting for nearly 20 years to the point of madness, and the fight between the two seems to have overshadowed The overall interests of the British Empire, if not for the existence of Queen Victoria, who has a powerful controlling force, might have caused internal strife in the British Isles in the past twenty years. With the help of external forces, it is not impossible for a civil war to occur.

​​

Napoleon III of France speaks volumes, and there are no diplomats.

​​

As for the others, William IV did not underestimate them. Just relying on his own strength without borrowing from future prophets is enough to not be afraid of anyone.

​​

On the other side, Queen Victoria is meeting with Prime Minister Disraeli and Foreign Secretary Russell.

​​

"William IV was invited to come to the UK, what do you think?" After Queen Victoria asked, she looked at Disraeli. Although she wanted to ask Russell more.

​​

Disraeli's eyes flashed, and he said, "Your Majesty, William IV was invited by the Queen this time, and he was here to negotiate with Princess Louise and the Prince of the Netherlands. No, now he should say that he hopes for the marriage of Crown Prince Frederick. , but I think that perhaps the situation in the Commonwealth of Millikin caused the conflict between the Netherlands and Prussia, and perhaps caused William IV's eagerness for British support. Therefore, I think the British Empire can put forward some British support in the meeting between the two countries. Request, I don't think William IV will easily refuse."

Queen Victoria's eyes flashed fiercely, her eyes stopped on Disraeli for a while, and then she asked Russell, "Does the foreign secretary think so too?"

​​

Russell was a talkative, but plain-looking man, over six feet tall, with pale blue eyes, dark brown hair, a wrinkled face, a bulbous chin, a bulbous nose, puffy eyes, and not much of a British man. Like, if you don't know him, no one would have thought that he is the noble former Prime Minister of the British Empire and the British Foreign Secretary who has served several terms.

​​

The 76-year-old Russell blinked and glanced noncommittally at the 66-year-old Prime Minister Disraeli, secretly thinking: He and the 62-year-old Creston, the heir of Viscount Palmerston, are indeed less old town than each other.

​​

He thought of this and said with a smile: "Speaking of William IV, Her Majesty and I have been dealing with him for nearly seven years since 1862. What was he like? The evaluation of a king is: to be methodical to the extreme, to pay attention to details, and to make no difference."

​​

I am orderly to the extreme, pay attention to details, and there is no difference. !

​​

Queen Victoria and Disraeli's expressions changed.

​​

"This is a very high evaluation. In other words, it means that there is no last resort, and others can fight for nothing?"

​​

Disraeli sneered: "I think the Viscount Palmerston's evaluation is a bit exaggerated. Although I respect him very much, I still think that William IV was regarded too highly by His Excellency the Viscount."

​​

"Oh." Russell gave him a dissatisfied look, and sneered, "What's the Prime Minister's opinion?"

​​

Disraeli turned a blind eye and said: "I do things in an orderly manner, but I agree. After all, after migrating from the Netherlands to Australia, the Netherlands has been able to persist for many years without interruption. Obviously, this is after I don't know whether it was William IV or the Dutch cabinet government. It was planned, but the plan is implemented and implemented, but the Viscount said to pay attention to the details~lightnovelpub.net~ I don’t think there is any difference. I feel that it seems a bit biased. After all, according to this statement, we don’t need to mix things up in European countries. The Netherlands is already king and hegemony"

​​

"What's more, my foreign secretary," Disraeli said "my foreign secretary" very seriously, as if reminding the other party that he is only a member of his cabinet.

​​

Disraeli: "Don't forget that the situation in the Netherlands is not optimistic these days. If this comment is brought out, it seems a bit of a joke, although I admit that the Netherlands temporarily suppressed Prussia in the Commonwealth of America. But that is the United Kingdom, etc. The surrounding countries all want to see the Prussian joke, what happened, if the United Kingdom cooperates with other countries, I don’t know, how much does Your Excellency Russell think the Netherlands can still win in Milliken?”

​​

Russell greeted the other party: "Perhaps William IV has already counted your thoughts?"

​​

Disraeli laughed angrily and said, "If you want your Excellency to say that, then William IV is already a god-like figure?"

​​

"Stop" Queen Victoria said with a helpless expression on her face: "I said, continue the topic just now. How do you view William IV's visit, don't deviate from the topic?"

​​

Back at the Dutch embassy in the UK.

​​

William IV smiled proudly and said: "People are unpredictable, big countries like to watch others fight for their own profits, and this is the most important decisive factor for the recent success of the Netherlands.

​​

However, there has been a lot of commotion in the Netherlands recently, maybe it will be quiet for a while soon.”
