v3 Chapter 577： British Crown Prince locked up again

Queen Victoria turned her eyes and stared at her son, Prince Edward.

Prince Edward explained: "But at the time, I heard that the Madagascar provincial parliament completely ignored the decision of the Dutch parliament. It is said that not only did the Madagascar provincial parliament not rescind the resolution, but instead rejected the Netherlands' Constitution of the United Kingdom in the second month. The 11th Amendment. But…”

Queen Victoria sneered: "But what, why don't you go on? Let me finish it for you. The Dutch parliament faced a confrontation with the provincial parliament of Madagascar, and the Dutch parliament had to expel the province from the United Kingdom parliament. Reinstated martial law and decided that the province could not return to the United Kingdom Parliament after ratifying the 11th Amendment to the United Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Even after the start of martial law, the commander of the military district disqualified 20 members of Madagascar's Christian denominations and the parliament was reorganized. Reorganized the province to support the Reconstruction Act, agreed to restore the legal political status of indigenous people, and ratified the 11th Amendment, passed the women's election law, the prison reform law and other laws to promote the democratization process, Madagascar Senate and House of Representatives, finally Returned to the United Kingdom Parliament in September 1868.

In such a case, I don't know why you would think it was a prying mouth to open up the contradiction between the natives and the white Dutch. Or do you think you can make the Netherlands a little bit more annoying? If so, I think you, Crown Prince of the British Empire, are wasting taxpayers' money? "

Disraeli's eyes widened immediately, and he immediately turned his eyes away.

Queen what does this mean? There was something wrong with the previous tone. Now I have said directly in front of myself that Prince Edward is wasting taxpayers' money. The next step will not be straightforward and direct to say that Prince Edward is not suitable to be the crown prince again, right?

If that's the case, it's definitely something that shocked the world.

Queen Victoria has always been disliked by Prince Edward, especially the cause of the death of her husband, Prince Albert, that Prince Albert went to Cambridge in 1861 to care about his situation, but two weeks after his return. Later, he died of injury, so the middle-aged and widowed Queen Victoria blamed the death of her late husband on the absurdity of Crown Prince Edward. Since then, he has been forbidden to intervene in political and royal affairs, and his favorability has dropped to a low point.

Disraeli mused: "Given Prince Edward so many opportunities now, it seems that the family love is still the same, but will it actually be the last chance? Storm before dawn? If so, what should we conservative Tories do?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly had a headache.

At this time, Prince Edward's plea for help also shot over.

Disraeli was even more troubled.

In order for Prince Edward to reduce points in front of Queen Victoria as much as possible, he knew that if he did not stand up at this time and expressed that the Tories supported Prince Edward, the Queen might choose to abolish Prince Edward more. This makes the Tories more passive.

Disraeli: "Your Majesty, I think Her Royal Highness actually has a point."

He looked cautiously at Queen Victoria, but the latter remained as expressionless as ever.

He explained: “Among the Dutch Far East and African provinces, Uganda is the only province with more indigenous blacks than whites in the total number of members of parliament.

It is also the province with the largest proportion of black-aboriginal participation in politics, so the role of black aboriginals in the democratization of the Netherlands in Uganda, Rwanda and other regions is also the most prominent. If the democratization promoted by William IV here succeeds in breaking through and becoming a model, then the Kingdom of the Netherlands will truly become the most successful country in the world in integrating ethnic groups, even better than the United States of America. Therefore, the provocation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually hits the spot."

Disraeli hurriedly gave Prince Edward a wink.

Crown Prince Edward got Disraeli's wink, and immediately said: "Yes, because I was worried about this, I chose to start in Uganda, Congo and Kenya in Africa. What's more, to form a battlefield in the Netherlands, It's better than having a battlefield in the UK and the Netherlands in reality."

He secretly praised Edward's excuse, and when he saw Queen Victoria's face softened, he immediately said: "At this time in Uganda, Kenya and Congo, some white politicians who discriminate against black-aboriginal people have made some ridiculous remarks, thinking that they are ignorant and ignorant. Culture, unworthy to participate in the agenda of the constitution-making conferences of provinces such as Uganda. In the face of such unreasonable and dissatisfied remarks because of the indigenous people, many indigenous people have already developed a sense of distrust of the native Netherlands and white people. At this time, we can Sprinkling some salt on the Dutch wound to make the wound bigger and heavier is actually very suitable.”

Queen Victoria said at this time: "Anyway, William IV has already helped the wound stop bleeding or even scarring, and there is no pus. This proves that your approach is not in place, or that it is difficult to achieve the expected effect, so this Plan to suspend"

Prince Edward hurriedly asked, "Why?"

He knows that if he agrees to suspend, it means that he will not be able to attack the Netherlands where William IV is located for a long time in the future. This is definitely very uncomfortable for him who is still holding a breath of resentment.

Disraeli was silent.

"Because your sister, Duke Louise, is about to get married, in early October this year, and the object of the marriage is still William IV's brother, the Crown Prince of Greece. Do you think it's time to make an obvious attack on the Netherlands? Is it that you would be a 'good gift' for Louise?"

Prince Edward: "I have always been married to Prince Frederick, the brother of William IV, Louise, but you still insist on doing so. This is definitely not good for us to suppress the Netherlands. Before you get married, not as good”

Disraeli groaned secretly when he heard the words, because he saw that Queen Victoria's face turned cloudy again.

"Shut up." Queen Victoria stared at Crown Prince Edward with a stern look, and sneered: "My daughter is not up to you to arrange her marriage. If you want to arrange it, you can arrange a few more births. Also, from this moment on, You don't need to intervene in the foreign affairs of the United Kingdom, so leave Buckingham Palace immediately and go to Edinburgh, where it will be closed."

Prince Edward's face changed greatly when he heard the words, and Disraeli hurriedly cast a look at Prince Edward not to make the Queen angry.

The latter finally held back the idea of ​​continuing to argue, opened his mouth, and finally left weakly.

After the door was closed, Disraeli persuaded: "Your Majesty, is this a bit harsh on the crown prince?"

Queen Victoria sighed: "Look at William IV, who is only one year older than him, and who is now making waves in the world. Look at him again, and think about whether it is still harsh for me to do this now?"

How can there be such a comparison?

However, Disraeli didn't dare to say that, so he could only smile bitterly: "Even if there is still a gap, the crown prince should still be given more opportunities to exercise."

"Okay" Queen Victoria said: "Hurry up and deal with Edward's tail. I don't want to be in the role of a dead rival when the British-Dutch relationship is still spinning in October when Princess Louis is married."

Disraeli's eyes suddenly lit up. The queen didn't say reconciliation, but she was not the enemy. It seemed that the queen was also dissatisfied with the Netherlands.

That's right, whoever changed, robbed his daughter-in-law, and beat his son to the ground all day long, unable to lift his head, no one would be happy if he changed.

Seeing this, after he knew the Queen's thoughts, he immediately said: "Yes"

Queen Victoria asked: "According to our Royal Intelligence Service, the Netherlands is currently catching up with the British Empire in terms of naval tonnage?"

The tonnage of the Dutch navy is currently the object of attention of all countries in the world. Since William IV stated that the scale of the navy in the Far East is not below the mainland, and in 1865, he stated that it had surpassed Spain and reached 180,000 tons, second only to the 230,000 disclosed by the United Kingdom. ton and the 190,000 tons of the French Empire, it made the world wow.

You must know that the tonnage of the Netherlands was in sixth place before, not only after the top three naval powers of Britain, France and Spain, but also the sixth place after the Tsarist Russia and Austria-Hungary, followed by Portugal, Italy, United States, Denmark.

At that time, it quietly surpassed Spain's 160,000 tons from 160,000 tons to 180,000 tons.

Queen Victoria had an in-depth understanding with the Viscount Palmerston at that time, and finally confirmed that the Dutch tonnage news was indeed reliable.

"It has been nearly 4 years since the Netherlands announced tonnage of 180,000 tons in 1865. Who knows how much progress the Netherlands has made?"

Queen Victoria sighed and said: "The current situation in the UK is very unfavorable. No country such as France and Tsarist Russia has ever believed in the UK, and former British allies such as Italy and the Ottoman Empire have also begun to slowly distance themselves from the UK~www.novelhall .com~ all want to be king by themselves.

The navies of these countries are vigorously developing. As far as I know, the orders for shipbuilding from the British shipyards alone exceed 100,000 tons. This does not include orders from other major shipbuilding countries such as France and the Netherlands. If all of them are put into the global sea, the naval power of the British Empire will be squeezed. The final result may be that Britain is facing the disintegration of its maritime hegemony. At this time, Edward is still staring at the personal grudge issue with William IV. This will definitely not be a good thing for Britain.”

When Disraeli heard the words, he admitted that it was not bad.

"Prince Edward's pattern is indeed a little smaller, but William IV of the Netherlands is not innocent."

Disraeli said: "The Netherlands is actually one of the driving forces behind the various difficulties the UK is currently encountering. Therefore, the personal grievances of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are actually a form of revenge from the UK?

I think that when the UK faces the Netherlands, it cannot blindly focus on winning, but should also be supported by suppressing. For this reason, I agree with Her Majesty the Queen to ease the relationship with the Netherlands, but precautions and warnings are still needed. Your Majesty can Don’t forget that the Netherlands is too small, so Europe is not a place to compete for hegemony, but in the Indian Ocean, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are where the real confrontation is, and India, also known as the crown on the queen’s head, is currently in the Netherlands. It is closely deployed around the Indian Ocean, including Madagascar in the west, northern Mozambique, Tanzania, and Kenya. Mainland Australia to the south and the Dutch East Indies to the east. These three sides are occupied by the Netherlands, and only the north and the middle are in the hands of the United Kingdom, which is definitely a bold challenge to the British plan for global hegemony.”
