v3 Chapter 597： The DuPont Consortium's Crisis

During the hot summer, the Dutch royal family likes to go to the Ro Palace on the northern edge of Apelton, Gelderland Province.

The Baroque garden of the Luo Palace is called "Versailles of the North".

Even at the beginning of this century, there was a thick plaster layer that was painted on in the era of Napoleon I. This building has been known for many years as the "White House in the Green Forest" because of the plaster layer.

The palace is surrounded by a baroque courtyard, completely surrounded by stairs, carvings, pergola and vases. The flowers and plants here are carefully cultivated, and the beauty presented every spring and summer is completely enjoyed by the royal family during the implementation period of the 17th century AD. Similarly, the fountains and man-made waterfalls in the park are like the 17th century, and there are wonderful performances at any time.

The Luo Palace, which is covered by forests and lakes, has lost its royal mystery in the 21st century, making it original beauty and romance, and it also has the opportunity for commoners to appreciate and walk into this beautiful scenery that originally belonged only to the European royal family, the Dutch Royal Family.

By the way, William IV became the grandfather William I in 1840 because he passed through the eldest grandson of the summer here because he fainted for unknown reasons during a trip to the Netherlands in the 1930s.

To be honest, the Luo Palace is actually a collection of various treasures of the Dutch royal family. In the early years, the Dutch colonists brought them back when they were doing business and plundering in the Indian subcontinent, the ancient powers of the Far East, Japan and other countries. The Dutch East India Company can be said to be able to. Bring back or bring back all the crutches.

Therefore, there are all kinds of cultural relics from east and west here. If these treasures are in later generations, they are definitely high-priced cultural relics. Even William IV thought that these things alone are enough to sell more than 10 billion US dollars.

It's a pity that the later generations did not travel in the Luo Palace. Obviously, as a local Dutch tour guide at the time said, the Prussian invaders had already packed them away during World War I or World War II, but there is another way of saying that it is Most of the cultural relics are in the British Museum. They were the hard-earned money of the Dutch royal family who fled to the United Kingdom after the war began. No one knows whether it is true or not, but William IV believes that the latter possibility is more likely.

At that time he was also worthless for the Dutch royal family.

Now that he has become the talker of the Dutch royal family, these babies can be said to be his at all. In order not to let them become someone else's, he must keep the Netherlands safe at all times, whether for the heritage or the safety of his own family. If it fails, the value of these things and the safety of their family's lives will be greatly reduced.

At present, another palace, William Summer Palace, is established in Melbourne, Australia, which is the future palace of William IV in the Far East.

In recent years, the temperature in July in Europe has been rising. Because of this, William IV will accompany his wife Queen Alexandra, son Prince Albert and daughter Princess Anna to spend the summer here in recent years.

Perhaps it was a habit brought over from a previous life. William IV liked to take a dip in the shade under the Luogong tree, which occupies more than 40% of the green environment. general view.

"Your Majesty, Lord Randy Alton asks to see you"

The loud voice of Tan Ludo, the captain of the guard, broke the happy atmosphere of the family.

William IV looked at his wife, Queen Alexandra, Albert, and Anna, shrugged and waved his hands, and said, "Look, I want to be idle, and people won't let me idle, it's really hard work. "

The 4-year-old Prince Albert now holds the title of Prince of Orange and the Archduke of Australia. He stared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Father, father, you should be busy first, and I will accompany you later."

After that, he sensible trot over to tease the 2-year-old little princess Anna, whose title is now the Grand Duchess of Phu Quoc Island.

Seeing Alexandra's understanding smile, William IV ordered: "Bring him in, he is 80 years old, so old, add a chair for him by the way."

"Randy Alton, as William's right-hand man, has been in control of the wealthy Dutch East India Company for you for more than ten years. It's not worth the credit or hard work, but His Majesty's respect for him is deserved."

William IV laughed: "This man is very cunning, but to my greatest advantage he is very knowledgeable."

Alexandra reminded: "You said that he is cunning, will this have a backlash against you, you know, the Secretary of State of the United States of America, Randy Bleish, is his eldest son, and the United States of America is also his eldest son. The largest consortium, the Randy family, is their family business.

And the old Randy Alton is in control of the Dutch East India Company, the largest consortium in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The two largest consortiums of the two economic powers are in the hands of their father and son. It is a bomb waiting to explode at any time. guard"

Alexandra, under the personal political training of William IV over the years, has become very familiar with playing power and tricks, so she no longer only pays attention to superficial things for each character, but also pays attention to people and situations behind them. The influence brought about by the relationship, and the weakening and blessing of their own strength.

Therefore, in the face of Randy Alton, a person who is rich in the world, she had to remind William IV to be cautious and careful with him.

Slowly watching Alexandra grow step by step to the present, I am very gratified.

"Don't have confidence in me?" William IV said confidently: "Don't worry, everything is under my control."

"Since you have such information, I'm relieved." After speaking, Queen Alexandra took her children away from here. She is obviously virtuous and understands that there may be some topics between William IV and Randy Alton. tight.

As soon as Alexandra and the others left, the old Randy Alton came.

Although it has been 5 minutes since I heard Qiu and saw that the person is now in front of me, and the distance is only 300 meters.

Apparently this is moving, not walking.

William IV sat casually and pointed to the seat specially prepared for him.

"Please take a seat, this was just added"

Randy Alton, however, followed the rules and sat down cautiously after he had done the etiquette to William IV. He even sat on the chair with only half of his hips, and his old waist was straight and stomped there.

William IV narrowed his eyes and smiled. He was not surprised by this, and it has been like this for more than ten years.

This may be the so-called old saying, the more cautious.

This person can be successful, naturally has its excellent characteristics.

"Tell me, our Count, what's the matter with me?"

Randy Alton, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head slightly by 20 degrees, but still kept looking upwards, and said in a reporting manner, "Your Majesty, I have just received from Milijian, who Bush passed on to me. According to the news, the black leaders of the South began to hold secret meetings, and it was said that they would take the lead in resisting the rule of Robert E. Lee's government, and used the pretext of increasing black power to carry out a large-scale resistance. The Confederate States of Millikin may have obtained information and have now begun to deploy troops It will prepare to suppress black people, and the administration of President Andrew in the Union of North America is said to be debating whether or not to support this movement of black people in the south, how and to what extent?

The U.S. Congress is divided into multiple factions for this, and the scene is very grand.”

Having said this, Randy Alton raised his head slightly and glanced at William IV, and said, "Your Majesty, the Commonwealth of Millikin is an ally of our Netherlands, so Bush asked me through a channel, and President Andrew asked us of the Netherlands. What's your take on this?"

William IV chuckled and said: "You tell them directly, the Netherlands supports the United States of America in sending troops, but it only needs to open an opening on the border. It doesn't require much movement. I think there will be movement in the UK. Oh, don't forget, Upper Burma is still dragging Britain?"

Randy Alton understood: "Your Majesty wants to use the Commonwealth of Millikin to slow down the British counterattack in Upper Burma?"

William IV shook his head, stared at Randy Alton and said, "No, why do you want to do this? I always thought how many wars Britain could have. That way the Netherlands would have more chances in the Far East, after all the scars the Far East gave Britain. It will make the disproportion between the contribution and income of the native British to the Far East more conspicuous.”

Randy Alton was immediately puzzled but he was wise and did not ask this question in depth: "Your Majesty, the British consortium in the Commonwealth of America has never increased, but Prussia has recently Consolidate the strength of the Germans there. At present, the Rockefeller consortium seems to be attacking the French DuPont consortium after integrating other German forces, and cannibalizing their industries.

Bush seems to be aware of a different atmosphere. Perhaps, the Germans headed by Prussia are brewing some major plans, so he passed this news to me and let me tell His Majesty."

William IV was noncommittal, of course he would not tell Randy Alton Prussia's plan to attack the French Empire.

The Rockefeller Consortium, the second consortium of the solid US, and the oil monopoly, is precisely because of the support of the Germans. The only way to stabilize the status of the United States step by step is to know that Germans have 60 million people in the United States in the 21st century, which is the largest single ethnic group in the United States.

Moreover, most of the immigrants in the German immigration wave in World War II were advanced European technicians.

At present, after the Germans were suppressed by the Dutch in the Commonwealth of Millikin because of Seward's high profile behavior some time ago, it seems that after 5 years of recuperation, they are reborn again.

Obviously, Bush and Andrew may be afraid that these largest ethnic groups in the United States will attack their status after they are fully integrated by Prussia. You must know that this year is also the election year of the United States of America, and the presidential election will end on November 20. It's only 3 months from now. It's strange that people like Andrew are not in a hurry.

What they don't know is that this is just a trick of Prussian Bismarck and others, in order to interrupt the French DuPont consortium to provide nutrients to France.
