Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 762
Bismarck's anger in Berlin and William I's dissatisfaction quickly spread to other countries.

After Ernst II of the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha returned to his country, he passed all the contents of the meeting to the chopping board of Queen Victoria, her cousin and sister-in-law.

For this reason, Queen Victoria could only summon her two sons, Prince Edward and Prince Alfred, to negotiate.

Prince Alfred: "Mother, this guy Bismarck is obviously planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife. With his always cunning approach, he obviously wants us to be a knife used to weaken the Netherlands. We cannot You were fooled”

Crown Prince Edward: "Hey, who knows who is taking advantage of whom, Alfred, don't allow others to overwhelm your prestige. In fact, whether we believe it or not, the Netherlands has aroused the vigilance of other countries. This is the biggest obstacle of the Netherlands against us." Dilemma, so, mother, I think it would be good for us to respond to the German Empire's approach. After all, when we are in a diplomatic and military break with the Netherlands, we cheer for Germany. Isn't this what we are doing, and Germany has called this time Dozens of principalities held public discussions together, and Bismarck even criticized the merits and demerits of these subordinates in public, which absolutely did not cover up the news.

Why did Bismarck do this?Why do you want to accuse the Netherlands so semi-publicly?Has the goal been achieved?These are what we should be most concerned about, rather than letting us, who are currently at semi-war with the Netherlands, worry about a more intense conflict with the Netherlands to block our sight."

Edward sneered and said: "The Netherlands has been sucking blood around the world for more than ten years. It has caused dissatisfaction in many countries, but they are unwilling to take the lead. This time Bismarck got the support of William I. Obviously Germany is doing this. Setting up a red line for the Netherlands will make it difficult for the Netherlands to attract people from Germany to immigrate to the Netherlands on a large scale in the future. It will also prevent the Netherlands from stealing high-end talents from various countries.

In this way, few countries will object to this approach.He doesn't even talk about fame and fortune, but in private he absolutely fully supports it. Hey, Holland, this time we really have a problem with assassins. "

维多利亚女王没有对两人的说法作出评价，只是拿着资料念道：“1878年年底，荷兰2450万白人，而我们英国现在3400万，法兰西3600万人，德意志帝国5200万、西班牙2700万、意大利2550万、奥斯曼帝国2790万，奥匈帝国3900万人、沙俄帝国6300万、美利坚联邦国3000万人（原来2450万，过去10年欧洲移民180万，自然增长370万）、美利坚联盟国1200万（增长200万，移民70万）、瑞典750万、丹麦350万、比利时恢复元气再次达到200万，葡萄牙850万、希腊450万、瑞士260万人”

She raised her head with a solemn look on her face: "The Netherlands has grown from 1450 million to 9 million in just 2400 years, an increase of more than 600 million people, of which 400 million are natural increases and the other [-] million are immigrants.

Your uncle, Archduke Ernst II, adopted Bismarck's statement that we are transfusing blood to the Netherlands and then fighting us. "

She said seriously to Prince Alfred: "This has become a global problem, and the Netherlands is the culprit. Alfred, in the future you may have to inherit the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, where you will not only We need to face the German Empire William I and Bismarck above. Although I don't think they will live longer than their uncles, we must be mentally prepared. At the same time, we need to face the reality that the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are competing.

Queen Victoria warned Crown Prince Edward: "Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is the layout of our family, and that is the ancestral land, so you must help Alfred secure the position of Duke there in the future, and Alfred, you We need to take advantage of the advantageous location there to provide feedback to Edward in London."

Ignoring the inner feelings of these two sons, Queen Victoria sighed: "This is your father Albert's greatest wish."

Speaking of this, her eyes turned red.

When Prince Edward and Prince Alfred heard this, they also showed sadness.

September 1879, 8, 20:23 pm.

The capital of the Netherlands, Melbourne.

William IV was leisurely attending the birthday party of his eldest daughter Anna Christian William with his wife Queen Alexandra.The two left time for their four children, but the couple returned to their own palace.

The age of 35 is when you are full of femininity. Although Alexandra has already given birth to a child for William IV, her figure is still well-proportioned and well-maintained. On the contrary, it is because of having given birth to several children that her figure is even better. It shows the plumpness of Westerners and is extremely charming.

In the past, William IV's adrenal glands would speed up at this time. After all, he drank a lot of wine at the birthday party just now.

But today, Alexandra discovered that her husband, William IV, had started to frown since Lieutenant General Wright of MI[-] had gone aside to report to her husband. She understood that her husband could not be easily solved when he encountered something problem.

Alexandra came to sit down next to William IV and asked worriedly: "What's wrong? General Wright brought bad news?"

William IV nodded and said: "Coming from Berlin, that old guy Bismarck actually gave me a difficult problem."

Alexandra didn't ask directly, but her eyes were full of questions.

William IV: "Netherlands is a vast country and sparsely populated, isn't it?"

Queen Alexandra: "Not bad"

William IV: "From 1861 million in 560 when I came to the throne to 1870 million in 1450, it doubled in ten years."

Alexandra said proudly: "William, your achievements are absolutely unique in the history of the Netherlands."

William IV: "From 1870 to the beginning of 1879, our population reached 2400 million, an increase of 950 million. In these years, I have tried my best to solve the problem of the Dutch population, so that the Netherlands can grow in a short period of time. In 20 years, the population of the Netherlands has tripled. At present, the size of the Dutch white people has far exceeded that of the black Africans and the indigenous peoples of the Far East under the Dutch rule."

Alexandra asked: "You said before that when the population of white people in the Netherlands reaches a certain level, they will suppress black people and indigenous people like other countries in Europe and change the past style of the Netherlands. Could it be that now it has Has it reached a breaking point?”

Non-my family, its heart must be different!

This is what William IV once said to her.

William IV never believed in the loyalty of the indigenous and black people to him. Therefore, in these years, the number of indigenous people in the Far East has dropped from tens of millions in 1864 to less than 500 million. The number of black indigenous people in the Far East under Dutch control has reached 300 million, these people are at the bottom of Dutch society, that is, those who specialize in hard work and low-cost labor.
