v3 Chapter 123： Dutch Diplomatic Feast

Holland, Amsterdam, on the podium of the Diplomatic Academy, William IV is already a frequent visitor here because he is an honorary tutor here. Every month, there will be a teacher-student conference course promoting his diplomatic philosophy.

This was originally requested by Foreign Minister Haysbet Feng, and he agreed to it for no apparent reason at the beginning, but now, he can't get away.

With the familiarity, he no longer resisted, but felt that it was very beneficial to his rule.

During this period, other departments have also established the same directly affiliated colleges to train professional talents. Among them, the College of Industry, the College of Agriculture, the College of Finance and Economics, the College of Business, the College of R&D Technology, etc., have become the graduates of universities in the Kingdom of the Netherlands today. longing for the place.

On the last Friday of each month at China Foreign Affairs University, at 9:00 am, he is giving lectures to all teachers and students in the hall of the Political Research Institute of China Foreign Affairs University. However, today is a bit special because many people came to China Foreign Affairs University this time. The point is that almost everyone from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and foreign ambassadors attended.

Every quarter, they will return to Amsterdam in the last month for a face-to-face report on the situation in the country where they are located, so that the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs can accurately grasp the dynamics of the countries and implement the most powerful and beneficial foreign policy for the Netherlands.

Therefore, in the audience, in addition to Foreign Minister Heisbet Fung, there are Prime Minister Tolbeck, Deputy Foreign Minister Venus, Ambassador to the United Kingdom Mike Davies, and Ambassador to the French Empire Jefferson Breen , Ambassador to the Russian Empire Calvin Colin, Ambassador to Prussia Nicholas Pearson, Ambassador to the Austrian Empire Jason Ma, Ambassador to the United States Al Gore, Ambassador to Belgium John Carr, Ambassador to Spain Cairns, to Portugal The Kingdom of Weiss. Weir... In addition, there are other staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The number of people in today's assembly is about 300.

"Since the 18th century, European artillery fire has been rampant. Does anyone know what European wars took place?"

Every time William IV lectures, there will be an interactive plot, and this plot talks about feelings, but he has to ask questions.

And it's not like that, it's not the person who used to be asked by him and asked by other staff to answer. He is not very satisfied with this, so now, he is directly facing the people seated below, and then directly Ask questions.

This is an elegant method to test whether the other party has learned the life course of this college.

This time, William IV did not look at the students going to the area, but in the area of ​​the ambassadors stationed abroad who came back to report their work. This made the students of China Foreign Affairs University, who were already envious, excited, especially some female students. Showing ambiguous eyes, because, there, there is a well-known ambassador to Prussia Pearson, only 27 years old, unmarried.

There is also the most promising ambassador to the UK, Davies, although he is 32 years old, but after the recent disputes between the UK and the Netherlands, Davis, as the most direct communication object between the two countries, has no role. People will deny it.

In short, these students who have not yet left the academy and entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs seem to see their future in front of them, and they are full of energy.

William IV ignored the hot eyes of the students, because he had seen a lot in his previous life, and that was the way fans would see their idols.

But this made him a little moved. Although Europe is starting to develop well in theater, it is all the development within each country, but there is no multinational theater idol. If the Netherlands has made achievements in this regard, then the Netherlands will be in the image of However, in this era, following the example of the United States, it has occupied a positive image in the world, in order to increase soft power diplomacy.

His thoughts were completed in an instant, and he finally said to Jefferson Brin, the oldest ambassador to France in the diplomatic corps abroad: "Ambassador Brin, you have worked hard in France all these years, everyone here, you are more or less You should know that Ambassador Brin is in front of you. He is the oldest envoy in the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is 54 years old this year. He has contributed more than 30 years of youth to the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Is such a person? Applauded"

Clap clap clap...!

Everyone, including Tolbek, stood up and applauded Brin.

"Thank you, thank you colleagues and colleagues in the future, Your Majesty, when you say this, why do you feel like you are digging a hole for me? After putting a high hat on me, you are going to stun me with questions and make me unable to step down."

Brinja had a serious tone, and what he said made everyone quiet, and they were all stunned.

William IV was smiling at him as a gentleman, waiting for the next paragraph.

"However, I like such a majesty, because I like difficult challenges."

"Hahaha......"

Brin's cold joke made the atmosphere of the scene mobilized by him, which made many people have to sigh that Brin is indeed a veteran of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If nothing else, just mobilizing the atmosphere makes many younger generations envious. .

"Your Majesty, since the 18th century, Europe has suffered many disasters, but man-made disasters have been the most common. In chronological order, the well-known European wars include the War of Resistance Against Spain, the War of Spanish Succession, the War of the Spanish Succession, and the War of Austrian Succession. , the Seven Years' War, the Anglo-Dutch War, the Anti-French Alliance, the Crimean War, etc."

In the 18th century, European artillery fire was full of fire. In chronological order, the well-known European wars included the Spanish War of Succession, the Northern War, the War of the Austrian Succession, the Seven Years' War, and the First Anti-French Alliance. "

William IV spread his hands, expressing his innocence and not intending to frame him, but this action caused a burst of laughter.

"Very well, these frequent wars stimulate the rapid progress of this military technology, but also mean that the army is more and more, and more and more money is burned."

William IV said solemnly to the audience: "In the middle of the 18th century, in Europe, more than 1.5 million troops and 400 main battleships were deployed. In order to survive in the brutal competition, the major European powers must have two brushes."

"Hahaha......"

"Your Majesty is so apt."

"Yes, although His Majesty is young, the lessons he taught are easy to understand and have no philosophy, which has benefited us a lot."

In the ambassador area, Jason Ma, the Dutch ambassador to the Austrian Empire, smiled at Nicholas Pearson, the Dutch ambassador to Prussia next to him: "It seems that over the past few years, His Majesty has become more and more majestic as a king."

Pierson asked rhetorically, "Isn't your majesty always like this?"

"I said you two You won't be in those two hostile countries for a long time, you are infected, why are you now bringing the atmosphere of hostility between the two countries back to the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs"

The speaker was Davies, the ambassador to the UK.

"I said Davis, you are a nosy yourself, our brothers are playing around, you should look at Wes Weir next to you, I guess, he is thinking about how to communicate with you recently, in exchange for Are you worried about the Anglo-Portuguese war that is on the brink of war?"

The speaker is Jason Ma.

Hearing Jason Ma talking about himself, Weiss Weir said with a wry smile: "Lisbon is a little confused now, so because of the convenience of debriefing, many countries have built embassies in Portugal in the coastal area, but now everyone is in Consider whether to evacuate the embassy"

on stage.

"So, how did the great powers in Europe develop?"

William IV said: "I asked the ambassador to France, Mr. Breen, and now I want to ask him, how did France develop?"
