Chapter 87 Alban finally steps down
On April 14, 1862, a huge scandal broke out in the Belgian political arena. The younger brother of Prime Minister Orban accepted the politics and donations of a Belgian company on behalf of Orban, and asked Orban to be re-elected, and the Belgian government he was in power fully supported the company. Expand business across Belgium,
The news broke out in a small newspaper and quickly gained national attention.
With more and more people's attention. Although they all denied it at first, even Orban has grown up to say that this is just an attack by a political enemy.
"I think this is the most bottomless attack against my dissatisfaction with my re-election as prime minister. This is an immoral act. We firmly oppose this foul campaign method, and there is no need for such a bad trick in politics. We should give them more than a wooden upside-down and say no"
However, when the evidence was conclusive, Orbon said that he would kill his relatives righteously.
"It's unbelievable. It's a pity that our whole family treats him so well, but now something like this has happened. As a brother, I only care about doing things for His Majesty, but I forgot to educate the people in my family. I'm really sorry.
I will pay attention to them in the future, and I will never use my power behind my back to do things against the interests of the country. At the same time, I will not interfere with the justice of Belgium's impartial justice. verdict, absolutely not.”
With his repeated assurances, he passed the second difficulty.
But when the third difficulty came, he was speechless, because this time he could no longer argue.
Because this time, the contradiction points to him.
It turned out that in the past few years of his prime minister's career, he opened various shell companies in Belgium in the name of relatives and earned state subsidies. This made Belgium unbearable, and riots began in Brussels.
The other provinces followed like wildfires and began to burn.
The other three candidates no longer remained gentlemen, but chose to stand up and directly criticize Orban.
In the end, King Leopold I of Belgium stood up and gave a touching speech as if he had abandoned his car to protect his handsomeness.
"I must have been blinded by his kind appearance. It turns out that we have been living in the lie of a liar who weaves sweet dreams and he is so perfect that we were all moved by what he said.
Orbon, you have wronged the love of everyone in Belgium, you have wronged God and my trust in you, you have wronged your conscience, and you have wronged the most basic qualities of the prime minister's post. Prime Minister of Belgium, and now, with my son Crown Prince Leopold as him, and a clean world in the Kingdom of Belgium. "
But even so, people all over Belgium did not buy it, and they all started to hold various demonstrations. Among them, Limburg, Antwerp, Luxembourg, Namur, and Hainaut were the most intense.
Even if the Belgian Defense Forces went to peacekeeping, they could not stop the dissatisfaction and demonstrations in the five provinces.
April 16.
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg of the Netherlands, Prime Minister Tolbeck of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Prime Minister Olivier of France and Prime Minister Bismarck of Prussia held trilateral talks. The three prime ministers confirmed the positions of the three parties on the Belgian issue, expressed their views on each other, and finally issued a statement , despised the corruption of the Belgian Prime Minister Orban, and said that it was an undemocratic performance for the Belgian royal family to hold the post of prime minister, and demanded that the Belgian royal family immediately return to power to the people.
And said that it would not rule out sanctions against the Belgian royal family.
The measures include prohibiting the Belgian royal family from conducting any economic exchanges with the three countries; prohibiting the Belgian royal family from passing through any territory and sea ports of the three countries; prohibiting anyone in the three countries from having any possibility of developing relations with the Belgian royal family.
In short, if the Belgian royal family does not return the power of the prime minister to others to end the **, then the three countries will completely block the Belgian royal family.
The deadline is set for April 30.
This is an earth-shattering move, and the entire European countries are shaken. If such a move falls on them, then the economic strength and industrial competitiveness of the three countries are the most famous in the world, as well as the military strength of the three countries. These are all things that everyone needs to be admitted to.
This is obviously the greatest level of stress.
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore, and this person was naturally the Leopold family.
He could only turn to England for help.
On April 17, the British Foreign Office announced that British Prime Minister Viscount Palmerston would visit Paris on April 20.
There, he will hold bilateral meetings with the prime ministers of the three countries.
A spokesman for the British Foreign Office told the media of various countries that Prime Minister Palmerston will hold a meeting with senior leaders of various countries, which will be agreed by the countries together. During the talks, Prime Minister Palmerston will also hold bilateral talks with Prime Ministers of various countries to discuss the current pressing issues between the UK and the countries.
For example, the Far East cooperation with France, the joint control of Ottoman Turkey in the Mediterranean, the joint opposition to the southern expansion of Russia and Russia, the coordination of positions in the American Civil War, the development of the situation in Belgium, etc.
Yingpu is within the German Confederation, and the UK will clearly require Prussia to abide by the status of Austria. At the same time, the two countries also require Prussia not to raise prices casually on Swedish iron ore, in order to prevent the UK from importing Swedish iron ore. The war caused unnecessary losses on both sides, and Belgium was also one of the main issues.
With the Netherlands, Belgium's top priority is the issue. After that, the UK will protest the Dutch deal with Kalimantan. The UK will also express dissatisfaction with the Netherlands' support in South Africa. The spokesperson also mysteriously said that the UK and the Netherlands There are other issues that will not be made public at this time. Finally, the spokesman also said that the Viscount Palmerston will visit Milan, the Kingdom of Italy on May 1.
On May 5th, I will also visit Vienna, and finally I will visit Tsar Alexander II in St. Petersburg board the British First Naval Fleet ship sent by the British Navy to St. Petersburg, ending the visit and starting from Return home by sea.
......
"The UK is indeed the UK, and a shot is a series of actions.
Directly inviting the three countries to hold talks in Paris, this kind of move really makes people feel that the United Kingdom is the kind of country that does not change its face against the three countries. This really greatly contributes to the prestige of the United Kingdom, but the three countries are still unable to refuse.
Because of refusal, this will attract hostility from the UK, and it will also resolve the previous moral high ground position on Belgium.
If you participate, you will face all kinds of crusades in the UK.
Britain is still the same Britain, and Palmerston is still the most powerful diplomat in Europe. "
William IV couldn't help but sighed at the old man of the other party, and he hit him as soon as he made a shot.
Other countries are still a little tender in front of them, and even he, who is familiar with history, feels invisible pressure.
I remember as if the old guy died in 1865, and with his death, Russell seems to have retired from politics, the Whig party was in the hands of Clayston, and the Tory party Disraeli has since followed. Creston's 20-year PK war with British politics as the chessboard began.
However, how could Holland under the leadership of him and Tolbek be willing to be trapped in the small cage he set up?
Not only him, but others such as William I Bismarck and Napoleon III Olivier would not bow to him easily.
It seems that the situation in Belgium can't be stopped any longer, cutting the mess quickly...
