v3 Chapter 316: Without the right of public opinion, you will face "four faces of embattlement"

But what was unexpected was that in the future, unexpectedly, she would become the crown prince of the Tsarist Russian royal family.

It turned out that in that history, it was recorded that Damag would write letters to Alexander II to comfort them because of the death of her fiancé, and even because of this, she became closer to the Alexander II couple and their other children. , In the end, she received a letter from Alexander II, in which the emperor tried to comfort the sad girl, even in the letter, Alexander II said very distressed to Damag, he still hoped that she could become a member of his own family.

After October 1867, after the second son of Alexander II, Prince Alexander and Alexandrovich became the crown prince, and with the support of Alexander II and his wife, Damag personally went to Denmark to present to Damag and Christie. An IX expressed his love for Damag and took out a letter from Damag's ex-fiancé Nicola, expressing the hope that this marriage would be inherited by his younger brother, Prince Alexander.

Finally, in 1868, the marriage of Denmark and Tsarist Russia was completed.

It was the appearance of this memory that made William IV almost lost his mind just now.

After that, he planned the gains and losses of the Netherlands in his mind, and used these to calculate the interests of the parties involved and the surrounding parties affected in the incident. That's why Alexandra saw it.

But it is wrong.

Seeing the absent-minded appearance of his sister-in-law today, William IV is still very distressed. It can be said that Damag grew up watching him. When she was studying in Denmark after 1857, she was only 10 years old. Now 10 years have passed, The little girl at the time has grown into a big girl, her youth has faded, and she has matured.

This made William IV sigh that he had been in this world for 10 years, and at the same time, he was "deep and deeper".

Damag's relationship with himself is like a brother and sister. In general, if it wasn't for the other's age, he was too young, he even wanted to introduce her to his younger brother Frederick, but it was a pity that they were a few years old.

"Damag, Alexandra is right, things have happened, and it's useless to think about it now. People look to the future to survive, not to live by the past, so you should cheer up Yes, look at your two nephews, they don't know anything, but they are happier than knowing everything, so forget him, maybe your future will be happier."

Seeing that Damag stopped talking, William IV pondered just right, and then said helplessly: "I know that you are very interested in the Tsarist Russian Empire, and you are very friendly to their royal family. They also want to come during this time. Very sad, I think so, you might as well exchange letters with them and complain to each other, so as to offset everyone's embarrassment, come here, it can be regarded as a vent."

Ignoring Alexandra's dissatisfaction, William IV just shook his head, signaling her to be calm.

Seeing this, Alexandra must have a deep meaning when she sees her husband like this, but in the end, she is not stopping this action of rubbing salt into the wounds of Damag.

Damag looked at William IV in surprise, not understanding why the other party did this,

But when she guided the family, it is sad to think about it now, and she felt the same. So, in the end, she agreed, and she wanted to relieve the family of grief, which was what she could do for the deceased fiance.

So not long after, she hurriedly left the two of them and returned to the residence Alexandra arranged for her.

With Damag's departure, Alexandra hurriedly asked: "William, you're crazy, you know what to do, but there is a cycle, and Damag is trapped in it, how can you pull it out?"

William IV looked at his wife brightly, but did not answer directly.

"It is said that Alexander II and his wife loved Damag very much"

"What's the point of loving it? Now that Damag's fiancé is gone, and they can't be their daughter-in-law, what's the use of loving it again?" Alexandra said.

"Who said it's useless, you found out, Damag is also very attached to the Tsarist Empire. In this case, if we don't guide her, it's very likely that she will be an ancient Buddha, a lonely life, you know, the feelings have reached that point. I don't want my sister-in-law to be a nun, and she's never married."

Alexandra opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she agreed with William IV. Perhaps, chatting in a letter may be able to untangle Damag's painful knot.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing for his sister.

However, she did not find that William IV next to him had his eyes full of light, and he began to calculate something again.

The fact that Damag's sister-in-law lost her fiancé made William IV to calculate, but the international situation also made him start to plan carefully.

Following his calculations, the French Empire unexpectedly fell into the trap he had calculated, and it was difficult to extricate itself from it.

The Netherlands even became famous in the first battle, and the two leading organizations were even more famous. This made William IV even more fond of the whetstone of the French Empire.

To be honest, he is very grateful to Napoleon III. If it weren't for his independent approach, which gave William IV an opportunity, many things might not be the result they are now.

Therefore, calculating the matter itself and calculating the characters in the matter are the fundamentals Many people do not explain why the Netherlands has achieved such a great success this time.

The Hague Tribunal is certainly one aspect, but William IV is more concerned with the other.

The control of public opinion that William IV attached great importance to is something that is not available in this era, and it has not yet appeared or valued in the European battlefield and diplomacy at this time.

The flaw in the public opinion of the French Empire is that quality control and logic are out of touch with facts, and it is often difficult to justify it.

This made William IV's Kingdom of the Netherlands take advantage of the situation, find logical weaknesses, and carry out precise strikes. Under such a one-sided public opinion war, the French Empire has lost its international support, so this has created the current situation.

In William IV's view, war and public opinion have never been inseparable, and wars that lose their effective right to speak often have no chance of winning.

In the historical allusions of the motherland in his previous life, there is a saying of "besieged on all sides", which refers to the ambush of the troops led by the famous Han Xin, the overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu. The army is disillusioned and has no fighting spirit, and the efficiency of the "public opinion war" is evident.
