King William I of Prussia couldn't help sighing when he heard the words: "This is true. Who would have thought that the Netherlands would suddenly rise up and pick the peaches we planted"

Steven, director of the Institute for Strategic Studies at the University of Berlin: "The Netherlands currently operates allies in Europe because local constraints are destined to be so, but the Far East is developing rapidly, according to the estimates of our Institute for Strategic Studies at the University of Berlin,"

He looked at William I and Bismarck, and said urgently: "If no one stops the development of the Netherlands, then within 20 years, the economy there will at least reach the level of Western Europe, a large land area of ​​Australia and New Guinea. The Indo-Pacific centers such as the island and the East Indies are absolutely unparalleled in the radiation influence, I am afraid that by then, the British construction in India will be nothing but helping others make wedding clothes."

Hearing this, William I and Bismarck's expressions changed drastically.

He looked at Steven involuntarily.

Steven is the director of the School of Strategy at the University of Berlin, but he is also the chief think tank of the think tank of the two kings of Prussia, including William I.

In the rise of Prussia in these years, the participation of this organization is absolutely essential, in addition to the credit of the king and the cabinet government.

Although Bismarck is conceited, he is also ashamed of his professionalism in political and diplomatic skills.

Even discuss it with Steven from time to time.

This man who was loyal to the royal family was one of the biggest trump cards for William I to control Prussia.

Therefore, his opinion can definitely attract Bismarck's attention.

William I even showed a dignified view of Steven as his right-hand man.

William I couldn't help but said: "In this way, Britain will meet the Dutch in the Pacific Ocean?"

"That won't happen," Steven shook his head, "I'm afraid, the many organizations that the Netherlands is currently creating are just to put a shackle on the UK."

"The yoke?" Bismarck asked hurriedly: "You mean that the Netherlands has predicted that the United Kingdom will rebound, so the new organizations established at present are used to deal with the United Kingdom, or even form gangs, in order to suppress U.K?"

"That's right" Steven: "If the Netherlands doesn't do this, then the Netherlands will face the UK alone. You must know that the second power that challenges the first power has always faced the threat of war from the first power since ancient times."

"The second most powerful country? No, the Netherlands should be far from being called at present." William I did not agree with the Netherlands' second most powerful country.

"It's the second naval power." After Bismarck finished speaking, he looked at Steven, "Has the UK noticed something?"

Steven nodded.

Bismarck asked: "But now Britain wants to pull France to eliminate the threat first? But it doesn't look like it."

"That's because the UK hasn't made up its mind to go it alone," Steven said, "The UK is afraid that France and Prussia will benefit from it after it goes alone with the Netherlands, so it pulls France on one side to reduce its own losses. At the same time, it also binds old opponents together to consume future enemies together to prevent old opponents from taking advantage of the opportunity to become big.”

"Gene Era"

Steven said this, but let Ren see the bright moon light up when he saw the clouds and mists.

As expected of a professional background, he will be grounded and thorough at the same time.

Bismarck was even more ashamed.

However, Bismarck quickly recovered and said: "If I were the Netherlands, I would also draw countries to help tide over the difficulties. According to the current pace of the Netherlands, I don't think the Netherlands will sharply expand its alliance system in the future. On the contrary, They will further solidify the inherent organizational alliance system."

William I moved slightly.

Steven raised his head and smiled: "That's not bad, but it will depend on whether the UK will let the Netherlands easily stabilize the ally system."

"Where will Britain start?" This time it was William I who asked.

The spirit of William I makes it impossible to see that he is over 70 years old.

Steven stood up to the rough map on the wall, stretched out his hand to point to a place, and said, "If my guess is right, he will attack the Netherlands from here."

William I's eyes narrowed, and his eyes showed surprise.

Bismarck was also very surprised, and looked at Steven with William I.

"It turned out to be it, Britain would choose there?"

Steven: "As a result, the United Kingdom once forced the Netherlands to cede a lot of territory there, and even not long ago, it was said that the United Kingdom and the Netherlands almost caused a military escalation locally for the waterway.

The two countries are currently negotiating this, but there seems to be no result.”

Bismarck did not relax a little, and said, "I think Mr. Steven's fancy, where should it be the geographical location, the dispute between the three countries in one channel, the British seem to have a good calculus."

Steven laughed: "Of course, there are no stupid people in London, at least not since the 19th century. This is correct. The British are the masters who refuse to suffer."

......

British Empire, London, within 10 Downing Street.

Disraeli now has only one guest, the British Crown Prince Edward.

"Will the Prime Minister do this, will it trigger the first move between the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Siam?"

Just now, Prime Minister Disraeli revealed to him that Britain is currently intervening in the dispute between the Kingdom of Siam and France~lightnovelpub.net~ and even broke away from the previous practice of supporting sanctions against France, which seems to be against the norm.

At first, Prince Edward was still puzzled, but after someone else's guidance, he quickly thought of Disraeli's intention.

Sure enough, there is no one thing that can be a prime minister.

"If you don't do this, it will be difficult for the UK to take action there. Don't worry, our Crown Prince, the cabinet government has made a comprehensive plan, and even reported it to Her Majesty the Queen, and Her Majesty has no objection."

Disraeli glanced at Edward and took advantage of his inattention to reveal one of the ridicules, but he flashed it quickly, regaining his sincere eyes, and said excitedly: "The Netherlands is not currently an opponent of the United Kingdom. Rising, I think William IV jumped too high this time, it's time to be demoted."

Prince Edward clenched his hands, and veins appeared in his fists.

Seeing this, Disraeli smiled secretly and said, "William IV, who has knocked down the world, can make Holland return to the position he should be in, not the wrong position he is currently sitting in."

"That's right," Prince Edward agreed: "It was pleasing to the eye earlier, but this time it's better to embarrass him."

......

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Royal Palace of the Netherlands.

"Judging from the current intelligence, the UK has deliberately provoked this time on Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula."

William IV looked at Foreign Minister Heisbert Von, Prime Minister Tolbik, and Dutch Chief of General Staff Mark Rudd, and said with great dissatisfaction: "Britain has set up a small island in the Andaman Islands outside the Indian Ocean exit of the Malacca Strait. Fleet, and added defenses and ports in Kuala Lumpur and the city of the Malay Peninsula. Obviously beware of the Netherlands. To the north is the Songkhla port of the Kingdom of Siam, and to the west is the port of Medan, Sumatra, the Netherlands."
