v3 Chapter 497： Joseph I: Listen to what he says, watch what he does

Napoleon III and Olivier both came to their senses, as if that was the case.

​​

He continued: "When Prime Minister Tolbeck spoke out and opposed the opinion of the British Dutch military, it is impossible to doubt that the whole thing was dominated by Tolbek, because he was able to effectively deal with the Netherlands and France, Prussia and the United Kingdom. This is very unfavorable to the surrounding diplomacy of the Netherlands. Therefore, although the liberals have made achievements in the economy and the country's development at home, they seem to be locked in diplomacy and become an attacked by the liberals. Disadvantages, so the mid-term elections of the parliament at the end of the year will be a big test for the liberals, so I suspect that this is Tolbek and Huntington singing double reeds, they urgently need to do some results to boost their support, and finally choose to seek a breakthrough The embarrassment of Dutch diplomacy comes to the fore”

​​

Napoleon III and Olivier immediately reacted, thinking about it, it was really like this.

​​

Napoleon III is worthy of being the emperor of the French Empire, and his political ability is not inconceivable, so he said by inference: "They have put the British Disraeli government into a dilemma, seeing or not seeing Thor. Baker, there will be very different consequences, I remember Tor Baker's 10-day deadline was February 18, and Huntington's mid-February said it was February 19 as the last day, hehe, this As a good calculation, if Disraeli has not met with Tolbek on the 18th, then it is very likely that Speaker Huntington will appear on the 19th while visiting Portugal. This wave of coercion along the southern coast of Spain is in line with William. The way the Fourth World does things, so the leader of the whole thing is self-evident."

​​

"Prime Minister Olivier immediately looked at Napoleon III in disbelief when he heard the words, "Your Majesty is saying, is it all behind His Majesty William IV? It's unbelievable."

​​

Edmund. Druan. Germany. Lu felt contempt in his heart, this Olivier is too good at acting, and his face doesn't seem to be that thick, which makes him understand why he is only the foreign minister of Olivier's cabinet government, and he is the prime minister and his boss at the same time. .

​​

Although it's a bit late, Edmund. Druan. Germany. Lu also showed curiosity at the right time.

​​

Napoleon III enjoyed this kind of recognition very much, he pointed out: "William IV may seem to be low-key, but in fact it is just that he is looking for a way to hide himself, but let the people below stand up for him. management method.

​​

In 1863, South Africa and Britain secretly confronted, and he was strong to win over Prussia and us, and Britain suffered a huge loss from the defeat of hundreds of thousands of troops, which made the British turn pale when they heard about the Boers.

​​

And the Netherlands took the opportunity to incorporate hundreds of thousands of Dutch people who wandered in southern Africa and were baptized by war, which made the Netherlands' momentum become huge, and since then it has established the foundation of its status as a great power in Europe. This operation can be said to count the United Kingdom to the death, and the British Prime Minister Palmerston, who is known as Metternich's second, is also resigned to the disadvantage."

​​

Napoleon III said with admiration: "After that, in the battle for influence in Belgium in 1865, the Netherlands calculated the Palmerston government and us again. In the end, although we were in the south of Belgium and the Netherlands also stumped the north, But the Netherlands was even more calculating, and Belgium was completely calculated by him. Belgium has since become a country controlled by the Dutch. In 1865, Leopold II, who succeeded the Belgian throne, became Prime Minister Jules Danetang and President of the Senate. Marie Philip and Speaker of the House Joseph Bait emptied all powers of domestic and foreign affairs.

​​

Is this all the same as William IV's dealing with the British defeat in South Africa, which once again shows how terrifying the strength of William IV is"

​​

Napoleon III sighed for a moment, and then sighed: "On the North American issue, the Netherlands made its layout 10 years earlier, and step by step brought the Dutch to the peak of the Commonwealth of America. Lincoln was assassinated and Seward was assassinated. Being ousted from power shocked the entire Americas, and even Europe was stunned. What the Netherlands did, I felt unbelievable even for a seasoned veteran.

​​

In addition, in recent years, the Netherlands has been operating non-stop to establish various fancy international organizations”

​​

Napoleon III was vigilant: "We must be careful about this, because the International Hague Tribunal organization that has dealt with us has already taken the lead. Looking at the economic difficulties encountered by our French Empire, we can know the power of this organization in the Netherlands, and other organizations. I think the effect should not be too bad there.

​​

There are so many organizations and various types, we don't have to guess, we all know that William IV is preparing for the next "ambush".

​​

With the strength of William IV, if he doesn't make a shot, it will definitely be a thunderous force and it will make people feel pain."

​​

If William IV was here, he would be amazed at what Napoleon III thought of him, and he would even be amazed at the saying that the person who knows you best is always your enemy and not your friend, Napoleon III's The claim even made William IV feel like he was being watched.

Edmund. Druan. Germany. Lu and Olivier were already certain that Napoleon III's words showed that he already had a sense of fear for William IV. Yes, it was the fear of a first-class power against a first-class power that had just been promoted.

​​

This made both of them understand that perhaps the previous strong diplomacy of the French Empire towards the Netherlands would soon adapt to Napoleon III's ideas and change.

​​

​​

Austria-Hungary, Vienna.

​​

Franz. Joseph I, like other countries, is also working with Prime Minister Rainer. Archduke Ferdinand and Foreign Minister Reichberg discussed the incident.

​​

Reichberg, Minister of Foreign Affairs: "Originally, Prime Minister Tolbeck of the Netherlands visited Northern Europe some time ago, and he organized our East and Central European countries to gather in Amsterdam some time ago. It can be said that he has gained a lot of influence, but at present The Netherlands seems to have become a recognized European and even world-class power for the Netherlands despite the poor relationship between Britain, France and the Netherlands."

​​

Prime Minister Rayner. Grand Duke Ferdinand said: "The British Empire uses warships to protect its interests around the world, making all countries dare not speak out. Even the French Empire sometimes chooses to keep a low profile. But since the defeat in South Africa, and in North America After being beaten by the Commonwealth of Millikin into a back dog and suffering heavy losses on the Balkans side, the fiasco of the British Empire's influence in Belgium undoubtedly highlights that the British Empire's influence around the world has declined significantly."

​​

Under the diplomacy that British Prime Minister Disraeli only seems to be able to obtain the support of France and other countries, the United Kingdom's unsuccessful provocation against the Netherlands in South America or other parts of Europe some time ago was a disheartened return to London. Obviously, the United Kingdom The peak of power has passed.

​​

However, the current rise of the Netherlands has not stopped. Europe is small, but other territories are very large. Now it is reported that the Speaker of the House of Representatives Huntington is visiting Spain. It is not ruled out that the Dutch government can let loose and use sausage-cutting tactics to improve the Netherlands and the Netherlands. relations with Spain while challenging British dominance at the throat of the Strait of Gibraltar in the western Mediterranean. This is to test the UK's bottom line and response, and also to see how many countries respond. After all, no one wants to let the western and Atlantic entrances and exits of the Mediterranean Sea be ruled by the United Kingdom, restricting the actions of the navies of various countries.

​​

This move is incomparably powerful. Invisibly, the attitudes of various countries will influence the attitudes of the UK in the future, and maybe even the few people in the UK have not thought of this. "

​​

"The Prime Minister is right." Foreign Minister Reichberg: "Huntington is the fourth person in the Dutch political arena. His visit to Spain and his support for Spain will make Europe and the world think that this will be Spain's official position and send a strong message to Spain. The support signal of the Netherlands will also imitate the countries that the Netherlands has a good relationship with, and the leading role will make Britain very afraid, afraid that other countries will follow suit, which will be unbearable for London.”

​​

"Therefore, with the serious warnings issued by the British Empire, all the consequences arising therefrom must be borne by the Netherlands and Spain. At this time, Prime Minister Tolbek opened his mouth to object, which made Huntington's trip to Spain a variable. If the visit is cancelled, it will be lifted. The crisis of tensions between Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and the success of Tolbek's 10-day appointment with Prime Minister Disraeli defuses a potential geopolitical crisis, and provides the Netherlands in Europe and the whole country. In the face of the world, it is too important to establish that the Netherlands can stand up to the great power status of the superpower Britain.”

​​

The Austro-Hungarian foreign minister added: "Furthermore, the Dutch prime minister has been able to address regional and global issues such as conflicts of interest in North and South America, the Pacific, the Indian Ocean and Africa, which were previously unresolved when relations between the two countries were strained. This contest will allow the Netherlands, which has the upper hand, to seek concessions from the United Kingdom, which will benefit the Netherlands.”

​​

Reichberg, the foreign minister, agreed with the other two.

​​

Franz. Joseph I said: "Although the relationship between the two countries is tense, this is all superficial. The superficial people see the superficial side. We have to look at the interaction between the two countries. The Netherlands is actually overthrowing Britain's superpower status at this time. It’s not very beneficial, after all, if there is a lower country, there will be an improvement, and if you switch to another country, it may not be of great benefit to the Netherlands.”

​​

He pointed out: "At present, the royal marriage between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom is the best buffer, so let's see if you can, don't take it too seriously, because no one knows whether the two sides are in frequent private contacts, and even now they are working for both sides. The Prime Minister's meeting is paving the way and it is unknown. Currently Disraeli is caught in a 'begging for others,' and Tolbek is eager to talk to Disraeli. One is unwilling to give up easily to contain the other party, and the other has a great need for you. I’m not in a hurry, what the Austro-Hungarian Empire needs to do is to do its own thing well, and it’s enough to show goodwill to both countries, and the rest is their business, and they can only listen to their words and watch their actions.”
