On March 2, 1868, when the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark formed the Nordic League, Prussia expressed dissatisfaction with it.

​​

In this regard, King Christian IX of Denmark made a clear statement the next day in support of the Danish Royal Palace joining the Nordic Union. He said that Denmark must join it without delay, which will strengthen the security of Denmark. Everyone knows that Schleswig and the Netherlands In the case of Stein, we in Denmark do not want such a tragedy, so we must strengthen Denmark's self-defense capabilities, and at the same time use like-minded allies to improve our shortcomings. As a member of the Nordic Union, Denmark will strengthen Defence linkages across the tripartite alliance.

​​

However, Prussia refuted Christian IX's statement. Prime Minister Bismarck said that Prussia was only taking back its own things, and there was no threat to Denmark. Prussia is willing to make friends with its neighbors such as Denmark, and is unwilling to restart the war, which is not beneficial to Prussia.

​​

Karl XV sneered at this: "Bismarck's words are like coaxing a three-year-old child. Think of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Kingdom of Bavaria. Such powerful countries have now become the land of Prussia, and the countries around Prussia are facing such a A powerful neighbor, who will be at ease?"

​​

Karl XV listed a public opinion report in Sweden stating that in recent months, the Swedish public's support for joining the three-nation alliance of Rejendam has reached a record high, according to the country's most influential "Domestic Post". The latest opinion poll shows that 76% of Swedes support the strengthening of ties between the three countries, while only 12% oppose it.

​​

Especially before the Pudan War and the Austro-Prussian War, the Swedes' approval rate for strengthening the alliance with Denmark and the Netherlands has been around 25% for many years.

​​

The Swedish newspaper quoted a source in the Swedish government as saying that Sweden has not only just chosen to strengthen its trilateral alliance with the Netherlands and Denmark, but Sweden will also prepare to sign a global comprehensive strategic partnership with the Netherlands and Denmark. Advance and retreat together.

​​

According to a Dutch diplomat, once Sweden and Denmark sign a comprehensive partnership treaty with the Netherlands, the three countries will automatically become a de facto coordinated unit of joint military operations. At that time, when facing other opponents, the three countries will report to the group to warm up. The effect of one plus one plus one is greater than three.

​​

The population of the three countries combined, the white population is close to 20 million, which is comparable to the Kingdom of Spain and the Ottoman Empire, reaching two-thirds of the British, French, and other countries, reaching half of the population of Pulis after the fusion of the German Confederation, and the Tsarist Russian Empire. one third.

​​

Regarding the Triple Alliance, the Prussian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a stern warning, accusing the three countries headed by the Netherlands that Prussia would be forced to take exaggerated military technology and other retaliatory actions in order to stop such threats to Prussia's national security.

​​

However, when Prussia used the term military-technical threat, many people could not help but remember that when Prussia strongly denied that it was planning to use force against Denmark in previous years, Bismarck used the same ambiguous term as a threat. What was the result? , for all Europeans to see.

​​

Prussia broke his promise. Not only did he not help Holstein's Germans by peaceful means, but he used force to attack Denmark to the extreme, and finally defeated the Austrian Empire, an ally who had jointly invaded Denmark.

​​

Therefore, in the face of the Prussian threat language, everyone thinks that there is no difference.

​​

Sweden, with a population of 5.5 million, can quickly mobilize up to 320,000 troops. Although its standing force is only about 100,000, Sweden has never abolished the conscription system after a peaceful period away from war like some European countries, and its annual conscription training The number is equal to its total standing army strength, and after retiring, the reserve soldiers need to participate in drills from time to time to maintain their professionalism.

​​

Compared with the establishment of the Nordic Union by the Netherlands and Sweden, Denmark's participation in the organization can only be a geographical extension of the umbrella of the two countries.

Before the events of Schleswig and Holstein, these three countries were all in their own way, but after the event, it caused too much impact on Sweden and Denmark, especially Denmark Almost terrified. It is said that more than 200,000 people in Denmark, originally 2.6 million people, have immigrated to the Netherlands and Australia in the Far East, choosing to avoid European hegemony.

​​

And Sweden also has more than 300,000 people running there, and immigrants from the two countries account for about 4% of the total white population there.

​​

While the three countries are training each other, the three countries are also holding more military exercises and joint naval patrols in the Baltic Sea and the Atlantic Seaport. The three countries may also rotate several troops from the other two countries on their respective territories.

​​

On March 10, 1868, representatives of the three governments of the Nordic Union signed a security agreement in Amsterdam for a period of 10 years, promising that if the three countries were attacked, the other two countries would provide support. This agreement provides the three countries with the strongest alliance foundation, laying the security environment for the Netherlands and the other two countries for the next ten years.

​​

"Your Majesty's move can make everyone break away from the situation in North America, it's wonderful," Tolbeck said in admiration.

​​

He knew the intention of William IV, so he was very sighed about it.

​​

Haysbert. Feng nodded in agreement.

​​

William IV smiled slightly and said: "The establishment of the Nordic alliance is the reality of the three countries. The alliance of the three countries will be very important to the future of the Netherlands. I plan to use the three countries as the core country. When the time comes in the future, I will absorb others. Countries can join, even the United Kingdom, etc. Of course, by then, the Netherlands will no longer be alone.

​​

Although the current alliance of the three countries will have a huge psychological impact on Prussia, since the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, there have been no major powers in Northern Europe, and the result of the alliance of the three countries can only be passive grouping to warm each other and protect each other. "

​​

When William IV thought about his previous life~lightnovelpub.net~ Several Nordic countries were also threatened by great powers, but the threat was only the country of Mao, and the one who supported them was Beiyue.

​​

Sweden and Finland in the Nordic countries are at the high-tech level related to national defense. For example, in terms of 5g technology, the two giants other than China's Huawei are also Sweden's Ailixin and Finland's Nojia, which is even more helpful. Yu Beiyue's long-term plan development in the military application of the Internet of Things in the future.

​​

Now Sweden and Denmark are more important to the Netherlands, and William IV is more concerned with the talents of their populations. This is what the Netherlands lacks.

​​

As long as the Netherlands draws these two countries together, the problem of population shortage will be greatly alleviated.

​​

In fact, William IV guessed that if someone else crossed over, he might have chosen to migrate across the country to Australia a long time ago, which would be too dangerous in Europe.

​​

But there is a saying that seeks wealth in danger and seeks in danger. He stays here, in fact, he is equipped to use the next 34 years of peace time to plunder the resources of European countries. The population of northern Europe will not pose a threat to the Netherlands. The same text The same kind, even the character is the kind of taciturn and meticulous.

​​

Europe's future economic development is rapid, technological progress is even more dizzying, and top talents are emerging. How could William IV escape in this most favorable period?

​​

He secretly said: "If I don't **** the blood of Sweden-Norway and the Kingdom of Denmark to strengthen the Netherlands, how can I be willing to come to this world?
