Vol 3 Chapter 614 The 2 crown princes turned out to be the same

Greece, inside the Greek Palace in Athens.

William IV finally came to the head table of William III, Queen Sophie, and Queen Victoria and Prince Edward of England.

At this table, in addition to these four people, there are six people in total, Crown Prince Frederick and Princess Louise, who will be married tomorrow.

Queen Victoria looked at William IV who came from far and near, she smiled and said to William III: “Look, under the leadership of His Majesty William IV, the Netherlands is getting stronger and stronger in Europe, alas, no Not to mention, the current status of the Netherlands in Europe and even in the world can be described as a surge in influence. In my opinion, even the Ottoman Empire is far inferior in terms of geographical influence.”

Prince Edward curled his lips when he heard the words, but in the end he looked at Queen Victoria who was smiling and saw her sharp eyes, and he chose to express his dissatisfaction in his heart.

And Princess Louise, who was beside him, twitched her eyelids, raised her head and graciously caught the eyes of several people, but she didn’t want to participate.

However, Crown Prince Frederick was even more dissatisfied in his heart, and his face showed displeasure. Although he passed away in a flash, he was taken back by the good Queen Sophie of William III, and he sighed silently in his heart.

But what they didn’t realize was that Queen Victoria on the opposite side also took it seriously.

Crown Prince Frederick seemed to say casually: “The contacts of the Nassau-Orange family have now become the brother’s biggest support, but there is no way, after all, Greece is not what our Nassau-Orange family originally owned. ”

William III glared at him, opened his mouth to criticize him, but the approval sitting opposite was the second son’s mother-in-law, eldest brother-in-law and wife. If that was the case, it would make it difficult for him to step down, not to mention his own wife. Queen Sophie had already shaken her head at him, and since she only had her second son by her side, it would be hard to scold him and make him humiliated.

So he had to change the subject and said: “The Franco-Prussian War is currently raging. I don’t know if the British Empire thinks the two duchies will reach that level before they stop.”

Speaking of this, he couldn’t help thinking that his eldest son William IV had sworn to him that the Netherlands was fully prepared, especially when he mentioned the means of guarding against the United Kingdom. The submarine can really make this powerful man who has been in Europe for 30 years. Did Queen Victoria choose to turn a blind eye to the Netherlands?

To this day, he is still uneasy about this, and he has to say that what the second son said just now is true at all, that is, for the Nassau-Orange family, the Netherlands is the root of their family, and the rest are just expansion. Territory only.

I have to say that his question also attracted several people at the same table.

Prince Edward followed up: “At present, Prussia has the upper hand, Namur and Lorraine are all occupied by Prussia, and the east is already in danger. It is said that Napoleon III is about to stay in Reims. Thinking of how the dignified French Empire was occupied by Prussia so quickly, it is officially shocking to everyone’s eyes.”

Crown Prince Frederick smiled ingratiatingly at Crown Prince Edward, and when he saw the latter’s kind response, he agreed: “Yes, but if my brother lent the Duchy of Luxembourg to Prussia for no reason, Prussia would not be able to do it at this time. So easy to take so much territory in France.”

He turned to William III and said, “Father, I think in this matter, although my brother is the king of the Netherlands, the Duchy of Luxembourg belongs to our Nassau-Orange family and should not be sacrificed by my brother. After all, the wrath of France is unbearable for the Nassau-Orange family.”

“Yes” Prince Edward felt more and more that Prince Frederick, who would be his brother-in-law tomorrow, was very much to his taste. He was secretly glad that Louise married him instead of the guy William IV.

So he couldn’t hide the joy in his heart, but he said with a smile: “” At this point, I also think that His Majesty William IV can actually choose to be more neutral, rather than intervene in the Franco-Prussian War, those two are big countries , the size of the Netherlands is incomparable to them, if after the Franco-Prussian truce, France’s retaliation may be difficult to bear.”

Seemingly encouraged, ignoring William III, who was already smiling but slightly stiff, and ignoring his mother’s frequent reminders to him, Crown Prince Frederick complained: “If my father and I hadn’t come to Greece, If the Principality of Luxembourg is still in our hands, then there will never be such a turmoil. To blame, it’s just that my brother Hendrik was too self-righteous and eager to choose a side after becoming the king of the Netherlands, and he didn’t know if he was on the wrong team ”

When he finally said this sentence that he had held back for a long time, and was looking up at everyone who wanted to see their expressions, he found that all of them looked at him with strange expressions. Is there anything wrong with this?

Suddenly, he found that the eyes of his wife Princess Louise and Crown Prince Edward, who were getting married tomorrow, did not seem to be on him~www.readmtl.com~ because the eyes were not looking up, but looking up. Then, he saw that William III and his mother Queen Sophie on the side of him were also staring at his back at a 45-degree angle.

someone behind?

This is his first thought. He is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very smart. Because of his smartness, he chose to be very low-key when he was in the Netherlands, and he was also in the Principality of Luxembourg until his father, William III, became the king of Greece himself. After the crown prince, he believed that the overall situation had been settled, and then he carried out various venting-sexual slander against his brother Hendrick (William IV), who had been jealous before. With his marriage to Queen Victoria, the superpower of the British royal family, more Compared with William IV, who was only married to the royal family of Denmark, he felt a sense of superiority.

The geographical location of Greece is no worse than that of the Netherlands, or even better. Even if it is a big country, there are only the Ottoman Empire suppressed by Britain and the Austro-Hungarian Empire defeated by Prussia.

After sitting as the king of the Kingdom of Greece in the future, he will definitely be able to govern Greece better than the Netherlands ruled by Hendrick.

Just when he finished thinking, he was about to look back to see who it was.

“Although the idea is good, but your overall situation is still not good, you still need more strength, father, I think, it is better to let him observe the various regions of Greece next year. Of course, it is best to increase visits to various countries to understand the country Political order, so as not to come out of your mouth and laugh at you.”

“You are” Crown Prince Frederick turned around quickly to refute this person when he heard the words, but when that face appeared in front of him, he, who had been afraid of William IV since he was a child, was a little delusional.

William IV stared at him imposingly and asked, “What? I’m wrong.”
