v3 Chapter 613： Holland to Spain?

William IV looked at Queen Isabella II of Spain, who had already been provoked by him, and smiled: "Well, I admit, in fact, I have already grasped their ideas, but what they did not expect is that Spain will join The Nordic Union is what I want to see the most.”

Isabella II looked at him puzzled.

The Netherlands is not afraid of Spain's participation in dividing their power?

Isabella II stared at William IV in disbelief.

"Don't believe it, the future of the Netherlands will be in the Far East, not Europe. Therefore, whether the goal of the Netherlands is to be the leader of the European Union, I am willing to support Spain as our leader." William IV threw a sweet date but it was Sweet fainted Isabella II, who looked at William IV in disbelief.

William IV, who had long guessed the result, said righteously: "They also said just now that Spain has a population of 21 million, which is more than seven times that of the Netherlands itself. Once again, the Netherlands in Europe is willing to support Spain in maintaining the Nordic Union. The interests of this team, of course, Spain wants to maintain its own leadership, so helping the interests of the team members and countries can gain support.”

Isabella II will naturally not object when she hears the words, but she always has some doubts that Spain has become the leader of the organization like this?

William IV was so talkative? The organization that has been built so hard is just handed over to people?

But it doesn't look like a joking William IV. She could only suppress this doubt temporarily, of course, more than that, she was attracted by this "good news".

So much so that she spent the entire dinner in a trance until the return of Karl XV and Christian IX.

After the two returned, they became the guests of William IV who left to go to another table to say hello.

Therefore, at this time, only Karl XV, Christian IX, and Isabella II were left.

Isabella II saw that she was still in the distance talking and laughing with Prince Alexandrovich, the crown prince of the Russian Empire, and Prince Umberto, the crown prince of Italy. When she turned her eyes, she suddenly had an idea, so her eyes showed hope. looked at the two kings at the same table,

"His Majesty William said just now that he is willing to support Spain as the fourth member of the Nordic Union"

Seeing the smiles from the two of them, she thought to herself: these two are really jealous of William IV of the Netherlands, especially the guy Christian IX. William IV is his son-in-law, but he is connected with Karl XV. As a whole to calculate him, sure enough, it is not wrong for the brothers to settle accounts.

Regardless of the fact that marriage seems to be closer, but there is no European royal family who does not marry. The marriage objects of Paul I of the Tsarist Russian Empire are all over the European continent, but the countries where his children lived during the first Crimean War did not nibble on each other. , at least watching the enemy country of Tsarist Russia was defeated by Britain, France, Italy and other countries and stood on the sidelines. Therefore, Isabella II never thought that the marriage could last for a long time, it was just a temporary need.

Just like the British Princess Victoria who married the Crown Prince of Prussia in 1850 not long ago, all the allies who thought that the British-Prussian marriage ended were greatly disappointed. Since then, Prussia has become a thorn in Britain's eyes many times and annexed the British-supported Hanwei Kingdom. and Saxony countries. It can be said that it has greatly touched the nerves of the United Kingdom.

The British marriage failed to make a profit, but it was used by Prussia again and again, but it was a matter of stealing chickens.

Perhaps, William IV has already seen the cruelty of political marriage.

But thinking of the marriage between the Spanish royal family and the French royal family, it seems to be similar to the end, which is understandable.

She said to the two who seemed to think she was calculating William IV's success: "His Majesty William just said that he is willing to support Spain as the leading force in the Nordic Union."

what!

Karl XV and Christian IX looked at Isabella II in astonishment. They thought they heard it wrong for a while, but seeing her serious expression, where is this a joke?

No wonder that guy William agreed so quickly. He originally wanted to choose to retreat instead of advancing?

Both of them have been involved in politics in their respective countries for decades, and they still don't understand the mind of William IV.

The Netherlands back down to Spain!

Isabella II said charmingly: "His Majesty William said that his future attention will be mainly in the Far East, so he needs to find a reliable and powerful ally for the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden. The proposal belongs to the object of his approval, so there is a saying that is good, everything has a destiny."

Destiny is destiny, but that's for you in Spain.

Christian IX regretted it at this time, because just now he was worried that the Netherlands would betray Denmark's interests from the perspective of being too powerful. Now, the son-in-law of William IV has stepped down and chose to let Spain come on. , then Denmark had a slight advantage in the face of Sweden, but it was instantly overwhelmed by Sweden and Spain, who were stronger than itself. William made the Netherlands an audience. Now Denmark seems to only play a small part in the three countries. .

More than worth the loss!

Thinking of this, Christian IX felt regretful.

Not far away, William IV did not know the calculations of several people, but he was holding a goblet and just touched it by Alexandrovich.

William IV smiled and said, "My cousin is a happy family. Speaking of which, we both married the princess of the Kingdom of Denmark It's fate."

Next to the Italian Crown Prince Umberto laughed, he said to William IV: "Yes, Queen Alexandra's beauty is the best of the European royal family. The most commendable thing is that she has both talent and beauty. Now she is in charge of the International Women's Union. The organization is really famous all over the world."

After he finished speaking, he smiled at Crown Prince Alexandrovich again: "Princess Damag, no, it should be said that Crown Princess Maria Fyodorovna is also a lady in the Tsarist Empire, and she won a lot of honor. Her Majesty Alexander II and Her Majesty the Empress love them, and the crown prince and his wife are said to be very affectionate, so they really envy others.”

He raised his head and said, "The two are not only cousins, but also brother-in-law. Coupled with the fact that the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of the Netherlands have been watching and helping each other for hundreds of years, Italy is very envious."

William IV nodded, held the goblet and touched the Crown Prince Umberto, saying: "It makes sense, but Italy is getting stronger and stronger now, and the Mediterranean has a huge influence in the east, west, north and south, but the Netherlands has a lot of influence. I hope the relationship with Italy will be closer.”

Crown Prince Umberto's eyes showed a hint of joy, affirming: "Italy also thinks so, of course, Italy is also willing to have a closer relationship with the Russian Empire."

Sure enough, politics is everywhere at this European banquet.

After chatting with the two of them for a while, William IV met the kindly but incomparably sharp eyes on the main table from a distance. Queen Victoria's eyes seemed to be calling him, so he couldn't help nodding at her. After talking to the side, he took a step and walked over. He knew that there would be a battle of words next. .
