v3 Chapter 346： Prussian trump card power: Light-Ming-Pie

"Prussia and the Netherlands fought a war?" Crown Prince Frederick asked dissatisfiedly: "The Prime Minister thinks that the neighboring German Confederation, which Prussia has integrated with, is a small country? So there is room for the Netherlands?"

"No, my crown prince, you may not have heard clearly, I mean fight, not fight."

William I was calm, Frederick was stunned, and Prince William was curious.

Bismarck saw the expressions of the three generations of several people.

"I don't think it's in our interest to go to war in Prussia now," he explained.

"In that case, what does the Prime Minister's fight mean?"

Frederick's questioning again made William I look sideways, and little William nodded in agreement.

Bismarck said indifferently: "The rise of the Netherlands is too fast. It is not good news for Prussia. I think the crown prince should agree."

Frederick wanted to refute, but he had to admit that the rise of the Netherlands was too fast and violent. If it only reached the level of Spain, then it would be fine. However, although the population of the Netherlands is obviously only about half of Spain's in terms of national strength, its economic strength is Far beyond Spain, its science and technology are on par with Britain and France, and it is also above Prussia and Millikin, especially in terms of industrial development, it is enough to challenge Britain's super-powerful position.

In terms of military, as the hundreds of thousands of Boers who suffered heavy losses from Britain in South Africa joined the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the return of the Dutch remnant, who were all soldiers, allowed the Dutch military capability, which was not weak enough, to enter the ranks of European powers.

You must know that in order to deal with the Boers, the British mobilized more than 300,000 British troops successively. After losing nearly 100,000 troops, although they finally had a slight upper hand, the final victory was won only when the Dutch Boers took the initiative to withdraw from South Africa.

The British Army was seriously injured because of this, and even had to tighten its operations in India. Later, in North America, they could only watch the Union of Millikin beat the Southern Union of Millikin, which they supported, to retreat, and even finally had to admit it. Relations between the two countries eased after the Commonwealth of Millikin took control of British Columbia.

The reason why the United Kingdom stood up against the Netherlands' French policy this time was actually a small revenge after the Netherlands caused harm to the United Kingdom in South Africa.

Holland can make Britain suffer such a big loss, how can Prussia not be wary of the other side?

Frederick asked again: "Even so, when Prussia is surrounded by powerful enemies, it seems that it is not a good time to start?"

Little William nodded in agreement with his father Frederick's statement.

"Whether it's a good time, the crown prince may decide not to," Bismarck continued without waiting for Frederick to retort: ​​"Because that's what the Netherlands and the international situation have to say."

Bismarck said solemnly to William I: "Your Majesty, now the Netherlands has stirred up the situation in Europe. Just like a tornado, whatever is rolled into it will be pulled into it. If it enters it, it may be shattered. It will be left alone. This is from the fact that after the multiple organizations launched by the Netherlands, countries have chosen to join and can peep in general.”

"This is really good. Since the Netherlands established major organizations, small countries have joined them one after another, but the big countries are unwilling to coexist with each small country on an equal basis because of their face. The Netherlands does provide a platform for these small countries to show themselves. It seems to provide a platform for these countries to compete against the great powers on the international stage. However, it also hates the great powers.”

William I praised: "But despite this, the Netherlands has established a dominant position in the small and medium-sized countries."

William I had been with Bismarck for many years, and Bismarck's idea, in fact, did he not know?

Little William's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Grandfather means, the Prime Minister is concerned about the ability of the Netherlands to form gangs?"

Crown Prince Frederick also nodded secretly, and I have to say that the ability of the Netherlands to create a new organization is truly amazing.

"Workers' strikes following the International Federation of the Red Cross, the International Federation of Women's Associations, the International Court of Justice in The Hague and the recent uproar of antitrust actions throughout the Western world have morphed into the last Dutch-founded International Labour Confederation"

Bismarck praised: "Each organization created by the Netherlands will cause a sensation in the world. Shouldn't Prussia be alert to the creativity of such a convincing world organization?"

Speaking of this, Bismarck turned his eyes and fell on Crown Prince Frederick, and said solemnly: "What's more, the current contest between us and the Netherlands is only in the battle of the agents, but it is far less than the real one. Hard work with real swords"

Wendou? agent?

Crown Prince Frederick suddenly thought of the battle between the Germans and the Dutch in the United States of America in North America.

William I interjected at this time: "The Netherlands has suddenly gained the support of major ethnic groups. Have you investigated clearly what caused it? I don't believe that the Netherlands has such a big appeal, and all countries are behind it. They, if that's the case, there would have been no Germans there, and even the situation in Europe would not be so calm."

Bismarck's face changed slightly, and after a long time, he said: "The Netherlands seems to have received the support of the Bilderberg Society. According to the news passed by Secretary Seward, the Bilderburg Society suddenly summoned all the members of the United States of America, A member meeting was held in New York recently, although the content is unknown, but since where it started, many members of Congress, businessmen, capitalists and even high-level military leaders of the Commonwealth of Millikin have sided with the Netherlands.”

"Even" Bismarck exclaimed: "It is said that several Irish and German congressmen have chosen to either abstain or support Vice President Andrew's proposition. The Bilderburg Society has amazing power."

Crown Prince Frederick suddenly changed his face, he thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "I heard from Victoria of the Bilderberg Society that according to her, when she was an informal secretary beside Queen Victoria, she was in the British King's file archives. , I have seen the introduction"

The faces of Bismarck and William I changed greatly. This was the first time Bismarck had a mental imbalance since he became prime minister in 1861.

He didn't care about anything else, and cast doubt on Crown Prince Frederick.

William I asked directly: "What did Victoria say?"

Little William also said: "Mother actually knows? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Crown Prince Frederick directly ignored Little William's question said: "She said that this organization was founded in 1857 at the Bilderberg Hotel in the Netherlands, and the leader was a small capitalist named Andy. Victoria seems to have said , on the British file, it seems that this Andy's person was funded by the Dutch royal family. Specifically, this file is not too detailed, obviously the strictness of the organization makes it difficult for the British to enter it."

Dutch royal family?

William I and Bismarck looked at each other.

The latter said: "Sure enough, the Dutch organization?"

Crown Prince Frederick hurriedly asked, "The Bilderburg Society is powerful and secretive, what should we do?"

After seeing William I nodded, Bismarck said arrogantly: "Britain has Freemasonry, Holland also has Bilderberg Society, and we in Prussia naturally have our own secret forces. Since everyone likes this, It is time, then, for our Prussian luminaries to rise up and confront them."
