Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 761: Ernst II is in Cao’s camp and his heart is in Han

Emperor Wilhelm I of the German Empire, Prime Minister Bismarck, Crown Prince Friedrich, Chief of General Staff Moltke, Minister of Military Affairs von Rowan, Crown Prince Wilhelm Wilhelm, and the rest are the princes of various principalities who joined the German Empire.

俾斯麦继续无情的道：“荷兰1860年人口只有500万，之后把海外的荷兰裔全力往回拉，人口在10年后的1870年到达1100万，另外还有200万白人来自欧洲其他国家。

Nine years later, the white population of the Netherlands has soared to 9 million, of which 2400 million are Dutch and the remaining 1550 million are immigrants from Europe and the United States. This is all thanks to everyone sitting here."

“从1860年有迁徙荷兰人口记录开始，萨克森-魏玛公国迁徙荷兰123000人、艾森纳赫公国39700人、梅克伦堡-什未林公国15800人、梅克伦堡-斯特雷利茨公国9000人、奥尔登堡公国12000人、布林瑞克公国8790人、萨克森-迈宁根公国23100人；
萨克森-阿尔德腾堡公国13050人、萨克森-科堡-哥达公国21110人、安哈尔特公国19140人、施瓦茨堡-鲁道尔斯塔特公国11021、施瓦茨堡-桑德豪森公国15231人、瓦尔德克公国21005人、罗伊斯-格瑞茨公国42350人、罗伊斯-施莱茨-格拉公国66050人、绍姆堡-利泊公国27900人、利泊公国16901人、不莱梅公国14500人、汉堡公国26800人、黑森公国32600人.”

As Bismarck takes the name of a country every year, that number is like a hard slap, hitting every grand duke in the face.

Bismarck looked at everyone's faces displeased and said: "In less than 20 years, the population of other principalities has migrated to the Netherlands, exceeding 55 people. Including the Principality of Baden and the Principality of Württemberg. of 9048 people and 80 people.

This accounts for 850% of the 20 million people who are not of Dutch origin.I think William IV is definitely very grateful to everyone here for their contribution to the construction of the Kingdom of the Netherlands."

136 people!
This data made the princes of the major principalities lower their noble heads.

Many people even had trembling hands or feet.

It’s not that this data is huge and shocking, but that this data represents the meaning behind it.

King Karl I and King Friedrich I looked at each other, both showing fear.

Even Grand Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who had always dared to challenge the ruling power of William I or Bismarck, changed his expression at this moment.

Ernst August Carl Johann Leopold Alexander Edward, if you know this European surname, you will definitely know that this is an extremely precious person.

Ernst II was born on June 1818, 6. He was the eldest son of Ernst I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and his first wife, Princess Louise. His younger brother is the husband of Queen Victoria of the British Empire. Prince Albert and Queen Victoria were the daughters of their brothers' aunt, their biological cousins.

In 1830, a revolution broke out in the Principality of Belgium in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and Britain and France fought. Initially, the Belgians tried to join the French Empire. However, the European powers were worried that France would be weakened after signing the Congress of Vienna in 1815. France became strong again and supported the Netherlands.

In the end, Britain pretended to be neutral and stood up to propose a compromise plan, allowing Belgium to become an independent country, and elected the former British Crown Prince Consort (the then first heir to the British throne, Princess Charlotte), Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Enns King Leopold's younger brother, Prince Leopold (Queen Victoria's uncle), became the King of Belgium. Then on October 10, with the Dutch government's opposition to British support, the Belgian Parliament forcibly passed a motion to accept the proposal. Prince Leopold On July 4, he was officially sworn in as King Leopold I of Belgium.

Therefore, Leopold I of the Kingdom of Belgium, who died in 1867, was their uncle, and the current King Leopold II of Belgium was his cousin.

On January 1836, 1, Prince Ferdinando, nephew of Ernst I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, married Queen Maria II of Portugal and gave birth to their eldest son the following year, the former King of Portugal, Pegasus. Dro V, so this prince Ferdinand was also called Fernando II

Since then, Portugal began the Braganza-Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty, which experienced five generations of monarchs in Portugal until it was replaced by the First Portuguese Republic in 1910.

Ernst II had no children, so her younger brother, Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert, became the heir to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, which may have led to an alliance between Britain and the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, although Albert Prince Albert passed away in 1861, but now Ernst II has publicly stated that he will choose one of his brother Prince Albert's children left in the British royal family to inherit the principality.

Prince Edward, Prince of Wales, has been ruled out, so Prince Albert's second son, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, has been designated as the best candidate to succeed Ernst II.Looking at the personal connections in the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, it is no wonder that Ernst II dared to confront William I and Bismarck from time to time.

But as Bismarck revealed the data one by one this time, Ernst II, who had been extremely tough in the past, actually had fear in his eyes, yes, fear, so he fell silent.

No one knows why Ernst II behaved like this.

Ernst II's silence made both Friedrich I of the Principality of Baden and Karl I of the Principality of Württemberg know that Bismarck's slap in the face could not be resisted this time and would only be in vain.

Bismarck naturally saw all the expressions and movements of these people.

Looking at the equally low-key Ernst II, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

The data he just announced for each country is accurate to single digits, which already shows that the Kingdom of Prussia's internal intelligence in each country has reached the extreme.

This shows that the intelligence in their hands has reached extremely terrifying levels in various countries.

Just now he deliberately asked Friedrich I. The answer that the latter did not know, and his clear to single-digit comparison, already showed that the intelligence of the principalities was incomparable to the intelligence capabilities in the hands of William I and Bismarck. Compare.

This is just intelligence. What if it is to assassinate a certain Grand Duke?The ability to protect and assassinate is not commensurate. Needless to say what the result will be.

This was the result Bismarck wanted.

If you are given a stick, you will naturally need to give a sweet date.

Acting also requires one to be a good person and another to be a bad person.

William I knew it was time for him to appear

William I said gently: "Everyone, although the Prime Minister's words are unpleasant, they are reasonable. Although the Netherlands has a good relationship with us now, it is under the condition that we are of use to them. The 136 million and nearly 5000 immigrants just now, It may not look like much, but it is a windfall for the Netherlands. The talents we worked so hard to cultivate ended up going to others, and they were just like picking them up for free.

In the past, we didn't know. But in the future, we need to strengthen our precautions. Weakening us and strengthening the Netherlands is not a good thing."

Ernst II asked: "Do you want to inform Austria-Hungary?"

"I will." William I looked at Ernst II and said with a smile: "Please inform Queen Victoria later. I think Britain will be very happy."

Ernst II knew there was some mockery in it, but he didn't care and nodded in agreement.
