v3 Chapter 599： The Franco-Prussian War broke out

On July 25, 1869, the Kingdom of the Netherlands announced that together with the Kingdom of Prussia, officials at the level of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Prussia would be sent to London to start a dialogue with colleagues at the same level in the United Kingdom. The power that 30 million Indians deserve.

The approach of the Kingdom of the Netherlands was immediately supported by all Indian countries in the world (except for the British Canada and the British ally of the Confederate States of America), and all countries demanded that both the United Kingdom and the United States of America, the allies of the United Kingdom, abolish the legislation not long ago. Act, and further extended to require the elimination of discrimination against blacks.

The United Kingdom is indeed too lazy to respond to the latter, but to the Indians, it expresses that it will push the Canadian Indians to embark on a road that is in line with the United Kingdom and Canada.

It means that the Indians want to have rights and must follow the British government, instead of opposing or uniting with external forces to try to challenge the British rule there.

At the same time, Robert Lee, President of the Confederate States of Millikin, stated that he would not be involved in the legislative issues of local governments at this stage, but he also hypothetically stated that he would appropriately adjust the living conditions of the native Indians according to the practices of the ally, the United Kingdom. But there is no mention of political voting rights.

Because, countries are naturally dissatisfied, so the Americas have become a quarrel, especially in South America, this time Argentina and Brazil are competing with the United States of America for the position of the old and the big, and they have expressed their support for the Indians. While trying to win the hearts of Indians in their own countries, they also intend to gain the favor of Indians in other countries and serve their ambitions in the future.

Therefore, President Andrew of the United States of America, President Mitra of Argentina, King Pedro II of Brazil and Prime Minister Fonseca took turns to criticize the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

This has caused Queen Victoria and Prime Minister Disraeli to be in a turmoil. Although the law does not blame the public, the United Kingdom has not directly carried it back to several countries.

But they didn't expect that this just fattened up the courage of a few people, and they scolded more happily afterwards.

At this time, a piece of news in Europe caused many people to divert some of their energy, because the news was too exciting.

It turned out that the Kingdom of Spain, a major southern European country, began to challenge several questions of Queen Isabella II of Spain. In 1868, the news of Queen Isabella II of Spain was spreading around because of her private life. The opposition was dissatisfied with Prime Minister Ramon Narvaez after he overthrew the previous government with the support of the Queen, so they began to question the legal status of Prime Minister Ramon, and even set the fire on fire. to Isabella II.

It seems that with the help of some people, there are actually many people in Spain who support Isabella II in choosing his heir. At this time, there is news that the rising king of Prussia, King William I of Prussia, has a distant relationship with Hohenzollern. Prince Leopold appears to be a promising candidate.

It was this news that somehow leaked, and the result greatly angered the French Empire in northern Spain, so the Duke of Grammont, who had just been promoted to the French foreign minister, was immediately annoyed. Facing the anger of France, Prince Leopold of Prussia himself refused.

The Duke of Grammont also threatened William I, asking Prussia to promise never to get involved in the Spanish throne, but William I politely refused the other party's request.

Just when everyone thought that France would introduce its own candidate, Bismarck, who deliberately provoked war, could add fuel to his telegram and announced the "Ems Secret Telegram".

William IV looked at the historical events as if they were happening right in front of him. He felt his breath getting tighter and tighter. The most important excuse for the pattern in European history was about to happen. I have to say that he found that many things happened because of his existence. Although it has changed, many still follow the trajectory of history.

To this end, he had to be happy and happy to start using the Franco-Prussian war to maximize the benefits of the Netherlands.

"It's time to send someone to London to play chess"

The situation in Europe, however, continues to move forward regardless.

On July 28, 1869, in London, England, Queen Victoria looked at intelligence with a worried look.

She stared at Princess Louise, who was to be married in two months, and listened to the intelligence she was analyzing.

"Before July 26, Spanish newspapers had begun to disclose the news, and French public opinion exploded, including Napoleon III, who believed that it was Prime Minister Bismarck of the Kingdom of Prussia who deliberately made France suffer from enemies, so the whole country expressed strong Oppose, and even many arrogant French see this as a challenge to them, asking Napoleon III and the French government to declare war on Prussia."

Princess Louise said this, and when she saw that Queen Victoria was even more worried, she followed: "In the face of this tension, His Majesty William I of Prussia suddenly publicly disapproved of his cousin on the morning of the 28th (today). Inheriting the Spanish throne seems to have deliberately demolished Bismarck's platform, and according to the information collected, Bismarck is very disappointed by this."

Queen Victoria: "The Netherlands is between Prussia and France. It has annexed the northern territories of Belgium. The border with Prussia is getting wider and wider. The Netherlands is not France. They have no ability to deal with the increasingly powerful Prussia. Might as well be more beneficial to the Dutch provocation, what is the current Dutch reaction?"

Princess Louise felt a sudden shock, and said casually: "At present, there is no trouble in the Netherlands. However, some time ago, it completed the transfer of an island in the Middle East called the Bahrain Islands with Prussia."

Queen Victoria's eyelids jumped and she asked anxiously, "Who buys and who sells?"

Princess Louisa replied: "Prussia sold to Holland for £200,000"

Queen Victoria closed her eyes, and after Princess Louise counted for 30 seconds, the Queen opened her eyes and said, "It's a bit messy, but it's fun, you can play it."

After she finished speaking, she continued to listen to other information, and Princess Louise just talked about it, but mother and daughter complemented each other.

On July 31, 1869, the ambassador of the French Empire in Prussia, Benedet Dide, in accordance with the new instructions of the French government, came to the sanatorium of the Kingdom of Prussia - Ames Spa in the eastern suburbs of Koblenz, hoping to see William I and conveyed A secret letter from Napoleon III.

William I received him, but when he saw the secret letter,

I saw Napoleon III's letter reads: "I hope your Majesty can guarantee that there will be no such abandoned candidacy in the future."

This rude attitude of Napoleon III shocked William I. After that, William I sent a deposit of the conversation with the French ambassador from Ames to Berlin to Bismarck.

At this time, after the emergency telegram from William I of Bismarck Street, who was holding a 54-year-old birthday banquet at home, when he read the content of the telegram, Bismarck was very happy, and it happened that Mo Qi attended the banquet, so the two of them walked into Bismarck's room and couldn't wait. Asked if Mao Qi was sure of winning the war against France, Mao Qi answered in the affirmative.

So Bismarck picked up the pen to revise the message, and Mao Qi watched the whole process, only to see that Bismarck deleted the sentence "You can still plan for a long time in Berlin" in the message, Mao Qi's heart jumped, but he held back and did not speak, followed by only Seeing that Bismarck added such provocative words to the French at the end: "His Majesty the King refused to receive the French ambassador in the future, and ordered the adjutant to tell the French ambassador that His Majesty has nothing to talk about anymore."

Shocked by Mao Qi, Bismarck did not stop after he wrote it again, but obeyed and called someone over to publish the telegram directly in all Prussian and French newspapers on August 1869, and notified all Prussian ambassadors abroad. After the regiment, the contents of both sides of the Ames emergency telegram were quickly conveyed to Paris, and were also reported in newspapers all over Europe and the United States.

At this time, William IV of the Kingdom of the Netherlands convened all members of the Dutch Privy Council to discuss the upcoming Franco-Prussian war layout.

"Our Prussian allies are already sharpening their knives, and Bismarck, who deliberately provoked war, has added more fuel to his telegrams to create fake Ems's secret telegrams. William I also reluctantly accepted this result, but many people also questioned that Whether it was changed by Bismarck, who knows if they are singing double reeds, anyway, the public opinion circles all over France are boiling, Zhengchou can't find an excuse to send troops, the fox known as the Tuileries Palace and the mysterious Sphinx. His Majesty Napoleon III, Emperor of France, is currently summoning French military and political dignitaries at the Palace of Versailles to prepare to declare war on Prussia. It is time for the Netherlands to prepare, if not it will be too late.”

Prime Minister Tolbeck said at this time: "When His Majesty Napoleon III of France used to find an excuse to start a war against Prussia how could he have thought that Prussia was actually baiting and fishing, which attracted them to the bait Ah, the Prussian Prime Minister Bismarck is very powerful, as we know from the quick resolution of the Prussian War and the Austro-Prussian War.

This time, France, led by Napoleon III, should have no life or death."

Mark Ruddau agreed: "Prussian Bismarck used the Secret Code of Ormus to arouse national hatred between the people of Prussia and France, which will become one of the biggest diplomatic events in the future history of Europe. By this, France declared war and launched France and Prussian. The war allowed Prussia to occupy the moral high ground.

In the end, everyone may find that Queen Isabella II of Spain, who was supposed to be the protagonist, and her heir are at peace, but the French Empire and Prussia, who have always wanted to rule or control Spain, are fighting. I have to say, it's really ironic."

William IV agreed with this very much, "Bismarck is very powerful, even if you may only focus on declaring war on the pretext of the French Empire and then Prussia counterattack, but you never thought about letting France expose itself for this with just a gossip. The real purpose is to have ambitions for Spain, which is even more for the Spanish royal family and government, and even the opposition parties that have always been pro-France have lost their last bit of affection for France. Don’t worry, the other side is a fierce attack, so this time Bismarck is so powerful.”

Hearing the words of William IV, the August day caused many people to have a cold war.

On August 5, 1869, the French Empire declared war on Prussia, and the Franco-Prussian War officially broke out.
