Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 457 Britain’s nerves may be tense again
On February 1868, 2, a summit at the level of foreign ministers of Britain, France and Prussia was held in Paris. British Foreign Secretary Russell did not comment and criticized the Netherlands for seeking to expand the military alliance. Russell said that sanctions against France and isolation of the economies of Britain, France and Prussia had caused widespread concern in the international community. It is bound to be divided into isolated regions. He warned, “If the Netherlands is obsessed with its power position in leading international organizations, expands its military alliance, and is prepared to sacrifice the security and economic interests of Britain, France and Prussia to develop the Netherlands, it will inevitably be counterattacked by the three countries. , this consequence hopes that the Netherlands can understand the serious dissatisfaction of the three countries, which may cause the Netherlands to fall into security and economic difficulties."

"Whether it is economically or militarily, the Netherlands is currently unable to fight alone against one of the three major powers in Europe, Britain, France and Prussia," Krim, director and chief researcher of the world-renowned Australia Institute, told the European Times.

"Members of the International Court of Justice in The Hague support the Netherlands. But even so, it is still a bit difficult, so the Netherlands must involve other countries in Europe and the world to jointly restrain the barbaric actions of France, Britain and Prussia, restrain them, and prevent annexation or invasion of other countries. "

Although the Netherlands has strongly denied the idea of ​​brewing the "Hague Security Council", which was established to fight against Britain, France and Prussia, the Tolbik government has strengthened its partners with the member states of the organization and Tsarist Russia, Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans. relations, on the one hand to prevent the strong claims from Britain, France and Prussia against the Netherlands, on the other hand to create conflicts between the three countries and other countries to expand the borders.

With Britain and France becoming stronger, and Prussia taking the precedent of annexing other countries, more and more countries are worried that Berlin, London, and Paris may consider attacking the member states of the organization in the next few years, and ultimately trigger a war in Europe and even more broadly.

The Netherlands has been running various alliances in Europe for more than ten years. Although countries seem to have no intention of choosing sides, they are actually more willing to side with the Netherlands. The reason is that the Netherlands is easier to deal with, while Britain, France and Prussia like to control others.

Of course, Britain and France have been fighting for hegemony for hundreds of years and are still wary of each other, so neither of them will deal with the Netherlands wholeheartedly.

"Everyone thinks that we are currently at war with the Rothschild family in North American financial capital. In fact, how do they know that we have already completed a secret agreement with the Rothschild family?"

As the Foreign Minister of the Netherlands, Hesbert von had almost access to the entire plan of William IV.

In today's world, when everyone thinks that the Dutch in the United States are competing against the Rothschild family, who knows that it turns out that all this is just a game designed by William IV.

William IV couldn't help but sigh, it is still useful to have the advantage of being familiar with foreign history.

The Russia-Ukraine war in the previous life pushed up global energy and food prices, exacerbating global inflation.

Hesbert von Dao: “Under our deliberate guidance, the escalation of strategic competition between the International Hague Tribunal and countries such as France and Britain and Prussia has pushed the world into a polarized pattern. This has increased the pressure on small countries to choose sides. Of course, , basically afraid of being annexed, so everyone has turned to us now.

These problems are unlikely to be resolved in the short term, and may ultimately have unpredictable consequences as they interact with each other.

What was affected at that time was the global food supply. Since the Irish crop failure at the beginning of this century (early 19th century) and the death of 100 million Irish people, extreme climate has affected global crop production.

Sanctions on the French economic war and the blockade of French crops further exacerbated the food shortage problem, which caused food prices in various countries to skyrocket. These restrictions triggered a brief panic, prompted buyers to hoard goods, and further pushed up prices.

According to statistics, in order to protect domestic needs, more than 10 countries organized by the International Hague Tribunal have changed their agricultural product import channels from France to the Netherlands.

This gives the Netherlands an almost monopoly on grain sales in various countries. Currently, only Argentina and the United States in the organization can compete with us.Secondly, there is the issue of energy supply. Currently, all countries are rapidly developing their industrial economies. The restrictions on Britain, France and Prussia and the counter-restrictions of Britain, France and Prussia have led to tight supply of coal and steel prices in various countries, especially small European countries.

Although the Tsarist Empire was vast and rich in resources, its coal mine output was very small. Therefore, the coal mines in the Netherlands became a stable source for the Tsarist Russians, and South America was also the main customer of Australian coal mines.

This has further prompted the Dutch mining industry to enter a prosperous stage. Currently, mineral development in the Far East has reached a blowout level, increasing the economic competitiveness of the entire Netherlands.

Correspondingly, Britain, France and Prussia fell into stagnant economic growth due to the loss of markets and resource sources, which also relatively weakened the economic potential of these three countries. "

Speaking of this, Hesbert Feng said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty's good move has escalated the world's geopolitical conflicts and put the world in a highly uncertain environment. The market supply chain has reached a bottleneck, unable to sell goods and causing economic inflation. Our allies and partner countries have become long-term structural problems due to food and energy supply shortages and inflation.

Partner countries and allies are now more dependent on the Netherlands, but they are wary and contemptuous of countries such as Britain, France and Prussia."

It has to be said that Hesbert von's admiration for William IV has reached the extreme. With a deeper understanding, he has found that he deeply likes this kind of manipulating and playing with countries. practice.

Tolbeck deeply agrees with Hesbertvon's views.

After getting along with each other in the past few years, Tolbik has become extremely certain that William IV is the master of the Dutch Renaissance.It will even bring the Netherlands into an unprecedentedly prosperous country.

This was unthinkable before, but now it seems that everything is moving forward steadily.

Everything is so real, visible and tangible.

"The international order and power structure are changing rapidly. Small countries need to make strong arrangements at this time, imagine different backgrounds, and formulate corresponding response plans."

Thinking of this, he looked at William IV and pointed out: "Your Majesty, Britain has deliberately provoked time and time again in the Strait of Malacca on the edge of Sumatra. I think we might as well give them an unforgettable memory."

“Although various countries are panicked by the strength of Britain, France and Prussia, and attended the Security Council in The Hague to maintain a balance in their relations with Britain, France and Prussia, these countries are still one of the most powerful countries in Europe and even the world, and their prestige is still there. The three countries use military and Influence causes great pain to countries in geopolitical disputes.

However, now that they are part of the Security Council in The Hague, they clearly understand that there is more to their benefit in trying to maintain a closer relationship with the Security Council in The Hague. "
