, the fastest update opening 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne latest chapter!

The Dutch submarines were the most shocking. In addition to the United Kingdom, the most powerful country in the navy, the high-level officials of both sides of the Franco-Prussian War could not help but be surprised.

On November 11, 1869, Empress Eugenie in Paris, France, was relieved, because she had just sent the Netherlands away from helping Prussia with the small islands in the Indian Ocean not long ago, and the relationship between France and the Netherlands had begun to thaw. The Netherlands and France The diplomatic envoys are back at their posts again.

Therefore, the appearance of the Dutch submarine at this time brought Paris more of a fluke under the shock. No one wants to deal with the unknown evil. France is currently exhausted in the face of Prussia. When faced with the Netherlands, which is one level lower, naturally, it will not look like a top.

It was Napoleon III in Reims, who was originally dissatisfied with the privately traded territories between Queen Eugenie and the Dutch Regent, Queen Alexandra of the Netherlands. At this moment, the cloud turned bright. Instead, he was grateful for Eugenie’s actions.

To this end, he could not help but speed up the deployment of Reims’ army. He wanted to organize a large-scale counterattack to completely drive Prussia out of French territory and save his lost face.

However, compared to Napoleon III’s forgetfulness, Bismarck’s faces were extremely solemn.

“I didn’t expect that William IV would have such a back-up move. It’s wonderful.”

At this moment of William I, this is a feeling of powerlessness.

I have to say that Bismarck and his team were actually planning before, and they also had ambitions for the Netherlands to advance or retreat.

But Bismarck and Wilhelm I had been hesitant for a long time, because Wilhelm IV seemed harmless to humans and animals but was actually very dangerous.

Mao Qi, the chief of the general staff, said with admiration: “I passed through the Principality of Luxembourg before, and I was still wondering why the Netherlands proposed to expire on October 20. Who knew that the Netherlands would extort the Indian Ocean from France without a word? two small islands”

Mao Qi said to William I: “Around October 20, the Netherlands let the French Empire have a love-hate relationship. It can be said that they used the means of play-playing-sex, and other countries are also surprised that the Netherlands is so playful.

Now, with the emergence of submarines, it is no longer suitable for major countries to look down on the Netherlands before. ”

William I also said: “Yeah, I didn’t understand why William IV would let the Netherlands move to the islands of the Far East to do some development. That’s why I was still wondering if the Netherlands would not be afraid to make wedding clothes for the United Kingdom. ?

Now I finally understand that William IV had something to rely on. The world’s third largest surface warship tonnage, plus the world’s unique underwater submarine force of 50,000 tons. Even if the UK, the most powerful country in the navy, faces such a Dutch combination, I believe that only a little brain knows that this is not the right time to show any ambitions to the Netherlands.”

William I took a deep breath, exhaled it, and stared meaningfully at Prime Minister Bismarck; “Prime Minister, the Netherlands is not suitable for the east at present. I don’t want all the coastlines of Prussia to be blocked by the combined surface and underwater of the Netherlands.”

Bismarck did not object when he heard the words, and he was bound to be strong. Although William IV was not in the Netherlands, he had to admit that the hand left by William IV really shocked the whole Europe and even the whole world.

At this time, Bismarck was still thinking about the one-third of an acre in the Netherlands, which really outweighed the gains.

“Please rest assured, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, I will naturally not impulsively touch the soaring Netherlands. But speaking of it, the United Kingdom is the country that should be most worried about the rise of the Netherlands’ naval power.”

Bismarck sneered: “I think it must be a headache for London now, after all, even if the first naval power is not lost this time, it will be pulled down from the altar.”

Mao Qi heard the words and said: “That guy Davidson actually called on the UK to raise the surface warships to the combined tonnage of the second and third competitors. It should be a very important suggestion that the UK has not yet built submarines. Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I think it’s time for Prussia to increase its surface ships. With all due respect, if we compare our international status, our navy should be called the third or second most powerful country in the world, even if it can’t compare to the Netherlands and France. , we should also occupy the fourth position.

In this way, our Army will not face threats from the sea.”

Moltke’s statement was endorsed by William I and Bismarck.

Obviously, in the face of the rapid expansion of the navies of the countries around Europe, Prussia is only ranked as the seventh naval power alongside Portugal and Italy, which is no longer compatible with its own status. They all realized that the navy would be one of the directions of the future Prussian military.

Bismarck nodded and said, “The Netherlands, the Netherlands, it will be calculated.”

William I and Mao Qi looked at him puzzled: “?”

Bismarck: “Prussia’s current shipbuilding capability is similar to its current status. You should know better than me, Chief of General Staff Moltke. Before the Dutch supported Prussia’s warship construction, it was true, but they were all fifth-tier battleships, fourth-tier battleships, etc. Tier 3, 2, and Tier 1 battleships are all slowing down our learning, but we still learn them.

However, we are also prepared for this, and we are biased towards the development of steam battleships. Therefore, Prussia’s shipbuilding progress is only in the middle tonnage part, and high tonnage construction still needs the support of the Netherlands.

Your Majesty, the launch of the submarine by the Netherlands this time is to remind us that we still need to rely on the support of the Netherlands at sea, and it is to warn us not to act rashly on the Dutch mainland”

Following Bismarck’s “confession”, William I’s face darkened and he smiled bitterly: “Co-author, are we all in the calculations of William IV?”

“That’s not true.” Bismarck shook his head and objected: “The rise of Prussia is the general trend. The Queen of Villia of the United Kingdom clearly can’t stop it, and she is unwilling to stop it. And William IV of the Netherlands can see it clearly and even more. To promote profit, so they are just a ride on the road to the rise of our kingdom, they just say that William IV is better at taking chestnuts from the fire and getting a bigger cake.”

He also pointed out: “The strategic agreement between the two countries that William IV is currently signing with Joseph I in Austria-Hungary has to be taken seriously.”

He said sternly: “The Netherlands and the Austro-Hungarian Empire cannot form an alliance~www.readmtl.com~ In addition to the Tsarist Russian Empire in the north and the French Empire in the south, Prussia will be the enemy. The key, therefore, is that the Netherlands is suitable for reassurance.”

Next, the three of them successfully confronted the table again, and the Netherlands did not move for the time being. Not only that, the three also agreed to win over the Netherlands, and William IV embarked on the road of visiting Prussia on November 11, 1869, and it was Prussia who attracted the Netherlands. best chance.

Therefore, the three top Prussian political leaders decided that after William IV arrived in Berlin, they would persuade the Hopp relationship to cooperate more closely.

And Wilhelm IV, who had just set foot in Dresden, the capital of Saxony under the Kingdom of Prussia, naturally did not know that the top figures of power in Berlin who were waiting for his arrival had already planned the content of the next meeting.

What he may not know is that because of the emergence of Dutch submarines, the Netherlands, the world’s second largest arms seller, is already hitting the world’s No. 1 position, and its customers are all over the world.
