The scene shifts from Buckingham Palace back to the British Senate.

In the face of Clayston's provocative questions and the sharp sarcasm of Prince Edward, William IV remained undisturbed.

"Do the Netherlands and England need to improve relations?" William IV asked Prince Edward rhetorically.

"What does His Majesty William IV mean? Isn't His Majesty eager to win over England to help Holland resist the pressure of Prussia and France?"

Crown Prince Edward sneered: "But Your Majesty doesn't have to hide anything, there's nothing shameful, our UK is notorious for helping the weak (actually, it is the pressure to help the weak), the Netherlands is facing the two major European powers. Under pressure, if the Netherlands is willing to compensate the UK to a certain extent, we can help the Netherlands out of the difficulties.”

William IV calmly watched Prince Edward's performance, and had seen me, Queen Victoria, and the Whigs in opposition and the Tories in power.

"Obviously these people are watching dramas and looking for their weaknesses. Maybe now in the British House of Commons, many people think of me as a gorilla."

Thoughts took turns, and William IV completed it in an instant.

"The Netherlands has no intention of seeking help from the UK at present. On the contrary, I think it is in the best interest of the UK to win over the Netherlands at this time."

"What, so arrogant"

"Isn't it bad to ask for help from the UK in a serious manner, why do you still have to look like you are high above and refuse to bow your head, is it worth it?"

The Netherlands is just a small and medium-sized country in Europe. It is still the boss in front of the most powerful country in the world. I think we, the British Empire, should cooperate with the French popularization action to test the pressure on the Netherlands, so that William IV in front of him understands what it means. It was an unbearable pain, and in the end, seeing him still obediently ran up to us and bowed his head, admitting his own mistakes.”

"Not necessarily, don't just look at the surface. Maybe the reason why this William IV in front of him is so confident comes from his reliance."

"What is there to rely on, isn't it the International Hague Tribunal Organization. It's a loose organization, and don't forget, these countries have their own interests, and the Netherlands is not their ally, that is, the threat of Prussia's annexation of the German Confederation is too great, so the Will stand with the Netherlands, if it were the United Kingdom, this organization would have already lost its heart."

"Yes, don't forget, we have close relations with Portugal and Italy, not to mention Belgium"

"Dutch people occupy the cabinet government and parliament in Belgium, and it seems that His Majesty Leopold II wants to support Britain and can't help it."

"You think badly. Under the sanctions of France facing the Netherlands, the French in the south of Belgium will not sit still. You know, I am recently launching a proposal in the House of Commons, asking the British government to help the Belgian issue. Leopold II drew closer relations with the French, and then sought French support for Leopold II to counterbalance the Dutch to do whatever they wanted in Belgium."

"I have also heard about this proposal. Don't worry, I will vote in favor of this proposal when it is reviewed."

"Yes, I support"

"I support the Dutch to be tough and oppose the Dutch overhead Leopold II rule in Belgium"

Foreign Secretary Russell was also surprised and looked at William IV. He didn't understand why he said that. It was his expectation that in order to seek British support, William IV would make a low-key state in Parliament and gain the goodwill of these British MPs. When entering the relationship between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, at that time, he, the foreign minister, will harvest a wave of Dutch leeks, but depending on the situation, it seems that the deviation is too great.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a headache, because during this time, many British capitalists have come to the door, asking him to help them buy some high-quality companies and enterprises in the Netherlands at a low price, and even the wineries are not spared.

Some people keep asking if they can help them open factories in the Far East, the Netherlands East Indies and Australia, and at the same time let the Netherlands give them tax-free access.

Although he was still thinking about how to reject them and not offend the other party, the words of William IV killed many people. Obviously, the uncompromising meaning of the Netherlands has made Russell understand the Whig party. The financial backers are going to be disappointed this time, and the other side is stinky and tough.

Prince Edward was even more sarcastic, although he tried his best to endure, but the expression on his face betrayed him.

Disraeli would be silent, as if a neutral were watching the two arguing.

Queen Victoria ignored everything and seemed to really treat it as a drama, with a very serious expression.

William IV didn't wait for them to be astonished, and continued: "The British Empire has been pushing up tension and inciting war for some time, and in the past period, Britain has moved to the Confederate States of America at least enough to arm the Kingdom of Belgium. Weapons, at that time, if all parties were doing the work of persuading peace, let’s examine the longitude and latitude of the conflict between the north and the south of the Commonwealth of Millikin, respect and take care of the security concerns, solve them reasonably, and properly make the situation a soft landing, what would the situation be like ?"

Many people in the British House of Commons were asked by William IV to the wrong questions, but they asked them to their hearts.

Yes, if Britain had not insisted on creating civil strife, and wanted to take the opportunity to help the British-majority Confederacy defeat the North and make Britain the suzerainty of Millikin again, it would not have taken hundreds of thousands of British casualties. The pressure on Canada even increased sharply, and finally had to push for a compromise in the south~lightnovelpub.net~ Britain even gave up British Columbia to quell the anger of the Lincoln government and the Confederates of the United States of America.

In that case, it may be as if the United Kingdom did not need to participate in the war and lost tens of thousands of people, and the United Kingdom would not lose face in the world again after the South African war, and was defeated again by the former colonies and defeated North America.

"We oppose any act of inciting war, so the Netherlands has been in charge from the very beginning, persuading the north and south sides of Milliken to stop the loss, and also persuading all parties including Britain, France and Spain not to raise tension and incite war. I think What the Netherlands is doing is just very responsible.”

William IV said, "I think everyone here knew that the British Empire had a strategic purpose in South Africa. In fact, many Boers there were just protecting themselves. Rabbits would bite when they were in a hurry. the famous Boers of Dutch origin"

Hearing this, many British MPs fell silent.

Yes, the Boers are notoriously tough in Africa, and the British only drove them away instead of killing them. I didn’t expect that the British governor at that time would use the strategy of driving tigers and devouring wolves for meritorious service, and wanted the Boers to open up wasteland for them. At the same time, after going to occupy the territory of the natives, the United Kingdom took the opportunity to follow up and seize it, which made these Boers angry and turned into a war between the two sides, and the United Kingdom suffered heavy losses.
