Vol 3 Chapter 608 Greek wedding to touch porcelain
On October 4, 1869, when the French Empire changed the Chalon army retreating to Paris from Reims to support the eastern fortress of Metz, Napoleon III in Reims and Queen Eugenie in Paris regency did not expect that they would In fact, they have already fallen into the trap that Bismarck has already prepared for them.
At the same time, King Willem IV of the Netherlands summoned the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Heisbert von .
“Actually, the 3rd Army, led by Crown Prince Frederick of the Prussian army, continued to pursue McMahon’s army and made a bold detour to the right. It seemed that they were preparing to cooperate with the newly formed 4th Army to move McMahon. The Chalon army led by Napoleon III annihilated at Sedan, or besieged at Sedan.”
William IV thought of this and knew the time had come.
He said to the foreign minister Hesbet Feng, who was standing next to him: “I contacted Prussia immediately and said that I would visit Spain, Italy and Greece from October 7th to October 21st, and I will be in Greece attended the wedding of my younger brother, Crown Prince Frederick of Greece. And this half-month period is the time for the Principality of Luxembourg to borrow from Prussia.”
Hesbet Feng’s eyelids jumped up at William IV’s words.
He felt that this was the most exciting time in his life. It seemed that the Netherlands was in his own hands between peace and war. The Netherlands was so close to war.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands suddenly used the Principality of Luxembourg to give the troops of the Kingdom of Prussia to pass through Grand France. Just thinking about it makes people feel irritated and frightened.
Although Hesbert Feng knew in advance that he had fought against Prussia, he promised Prussia. But he didn’t expect that at the moment, he was still trembling in his heart. Looking at William IV with a very calm face, he couldn’t deny that His Majesty was indeed the most ruthless.
The question is, isn’t His Majesty afraid that after Prussia enters Luxembourg, Bismarck and Moltke will keep the Prussian army from leaving?
In the end, Haysbert Feng still expressed this concern.
When Heisbet Feng said that, not only did William IV show no anger, but he smiled. The laughing Heisbet Feng, the number one official of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was heartbroken.
He suddenly noticed the murderous aura in William IV’s eyes.
At that moment, Haysbet Feng’s scalp felt numb.
he realizes one thing
Was William IV really helping Prussia against France?
Haysbert von has been the Dutch foreign minister for 8 years. Will he believe that Prussia, which occupies France, will be more friendly to the Netherlands?
He didn’t believe it, so would His Majesty be worried?
William IV swept a firm look at Hesbet Feng and said, “It is precisely because I don’t believe in Prussia that for this three-nation naval exercise, I not only arranged for the Strait of Calais, but also the Baltic Sea and the northern Netherlands. The North Sea as the exercise area. I think Bismarck will understand our ‘difficulties'”
In this world, no one knows that he will understand the history of the future,
At this moment, perhaps no one knows that the Netherlands has taken a different path from the history of the previous life, so no one cares, the Netherlands has obtained many opportunities for strategic changes that did not exist in the previous life.
Hesbet Feng didn’t know what William IV was thinking, he only felt his scalp tingle, and exclaimed in his heart: Europe is about to change!
……
At 8 a.m. on October 5, 1869, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Amsterdam announced that King William IV of the Kingdom of the Netherlands brought his 4-year-old eldest son Prince Albert (Queen Alexandra was pregnant with her third child and her eldest daughter Princess Anna) 2 years old, so the two did not go together), will officially set off at 1 pm on October 5th from Amsterdam to Greece by sea to the Mediterranean to participate in the Greek Crown Prince Frederick and Queen Victoria’s sixth child, Fourth Princess Princess Louise’s wedding.
On the way, after entering the Mediterranean Sea on October 8, he will stop by the border to visit the Balearic Islands, Spain’s most important island in the Mediterranean Sea. In the capital Palma, he will receive a grand reception by King Isabella II of Spain. People will have a strategic dialogue between the two royal families.
After a day off, William IV left on the morning of October 9 and continued eastwards, finally making a one-day visit to Sicily in the Kingdom of Italy. During this period, William IV met with the Italian King Emmanuel II in Sicily. The two also held talks, but the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not talk about the content of the talks. William IV will leave Catania, the capital of Sicily, on the morning of October 10, arrive in Athens, the capital of Greece, on the morning of October 11 to land and attend the wedding of the Crown Prince of Greece on October 15.
With the announcement of William IV, the world began to squeeze some eyes from the Franco-Prussian War to the Kingdom of Greece.
On the morning of October 6, 1869, the Russian Empire announced that Alexander II would send Crown Prince Alexandrovich to participate in the marriage of the Kingdom of Greece and the United Kingdom.
At the same time, as the Orthodox Church, the Slavic Orthodox Church of the Russian Empire will interact with the Greek Orthodox Church.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused the concerns of the United Kingdom and Austria-Hungary in Central and Western Europe.
It seems that they are unwilling to let the Russian Empire specialize in beauty. On the same day, Karl XV of Sweden and King Christian IX of Denmark attended the wedding in person. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Or it is because they do not want to see the Orthodox Church reconcile between the North and the South.
Queen Victoria of the British Empire went to Athens in person for the wedding.
In the ongoing war, the French Empire sent the French Speaker to replace Napoleon III.
Prussia was traveled by Princess Victoria with the little grandson of William (later William II)…
The royal families traveled to Athens for their weddings without slowing down the Franco-Prussian War.
…..
“Your Majesty, we are about to arrive at the location of the naval exercises of the Netherlands, Denmark, and the Netherlands.”
In addition to Prince Albert, King William IV was accompanied on this visit, as well as Director of the Netherlands National Security Council and Atlantic Affairs Coordinator Cantur, Chief of the Dutch Navy Staff Josef Karls, Director of the Netherlands International Intelligence Agency Mackay. Sean, Deputy Foreign Secretary Nicholas Pearson, etc.
The organizer of the joint military exercise of the three-nation fleet is Jan Peter, Minister of the Navy of the Netherlands.
“When you arrive, give them a naval salute.”
William IV followed up: “They will be the most important weapons for us to leverage the benefits of various countries to the Netherlands. They are our heroes.”
On the afternoon of October 6, 1869, before passing through the Strait of Calais, the fleet accompanying William IV on a visit to Greece conducted a coordinated combat exercise with the combined fleet of the exercise. It went perfectly.
This took countries by surprise.
Has the Dutch Navy reached this level of combat tactics?
I don’t know about other places, but the relevant departments of the London Navy are in chaos for this, and the Royal Navy holds various meetings for this.
