Canada is out of the game, is it India? Malaya? still?
Palmerston thought of a place, which was indeed very suitable.
Amsterdam.
"Your Majesty, the British refused our Canadian request."
Heisbert Von held the telegram in his hand with a shocked expression on his face, and at the same time, his heart was filled with excitement.
The entire Privy Council met again on February 25, 1862.
As the contents of Heisbert Von's telegram were fully revealed in the entire Privy Council meeting room, everyone was condensed.
The British actually refused our request, so all our previous plans were not for nothing?
The Netherlands has used a lot of manpower and material resources during this period of time to prepare for taking over Canada, but now it is discovered that everything turned out to be a waste of time and work, which makes people including the military They were all uncomfortable, and they were dissatisfied with the United Kingdom.
"What are you doing?" Haysbert Feng saw that apart from him and Prime Minister Thorbeck, as well as William IV and the heads of the two major intelligence agencies, there was only Mark Rudd from the military. Except for one insider, the others were all angry.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the United Kingdom does not want to follow our lead in doing things. At the same time, it seems that Queen Victoria places great importance on Canada."
It was Minister of Industry Wem Curt who spoke, and he followed: "But this time Queen Victoria is really generous, and she is willing to take out the New South Wales Territory and Tasmania to keep it. What does this mean? Or the British still open their mouths, like all of us in the Hawaiian Islands, it's really a lion's mouth."
William IV and several insiders of Heisbert Von all looked at each other, and then the lowest-ranking foreign minister, Heisbert Von, said: "What kind of expression do you have? You should be happy, because this is exactly what happened. In line with our Majesty's previous plans,"
It turned out that from the very beginning, in front of Palmerston, the Prime Minister of the British Empire, William IV never really stated his real purpose.
"But, are you sure that the British will oppose Canada's grant?" The speaker was Minister of Agriculture Ernest Bevan.
"Because, His Majesty has set up layers of arrangements from the beginning," Haysbert Feng suddenly found his mood at this time, especially refreshing, so he said: "Everyone, don't forget, His Majesty has revealed to the other party from the very beginning. One of the most critical news"
"Alaska"
"Yes, it's Alaska. Your Majesty disclosed to the UK that I was discussing the purchase of Alaska with the Tsarist Empire, and in order to be more realistic, His Majesty went from top to bottom to strictly prevent any information from leaking. All preparations are being made.
These Palmerstons can get relevant information as long as they ask the British embassy in the Netherlands to check. "
"But what does this have to do with Britain's opposition to us in Canada?"
"It's a big deal." It was William IV who said that, after looking around everyone, he said: "Because, if you get Alaska and then Canada, then the Netherlands can use the two sides of the Atlantic, and the fleet can even communicate with each other in summer to find the waterway. If so, you can also go directly from the Bering Strait to the Pacific Ocean from north to south.
Don't forget that the UK was the country that seized maritime hegemony from us more than 100 years ago, and it is even better. We can all find that the British are now setting up British guarded barriers in the main routes of various countries in the world, such as Gibraltar. The Strait, the Cape of Good Hope, Malacca and our co-management, the Suez Canal and the English Channel. The claws even reach the Oresund Strait between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea"
"Therefore, when the British noticed a little bit of such signs in the Netherlands, they naturally wanted to cut it off.
I have carefully discussed with the Prime Minister and the Chief of Staff. Canada is naturally very gratifying, but the strength of the British, and the navy that is now Megatron all over the world, they will never sit back and watch the rise of the Netherlands, let alone the other side of the Atlantic. Canada, and the most important thing is, if Canada gave it to us, everyone, wouldn't the rear of the British Isles in the British mainland be gone? "
Following William IV's remarks, everyone understood that this was something that could not be violated, but His Majesty chose to do it.
"His Majesty's purpose from the very beginning was Australia?"
"Yes, Australia is surrounded by sea on all sides, and it is also close to our East India and New Guinea islands. The South Pacific islands we just harvested are also sprinkled all over the South Pacific like soybeans. Such a place at the right time and place, God. It is arranged for us, we do not ask for it, that is a blasphemy to God,"
"But it's Your Majesty, what do the British mean by keeping those places in New South Wales?"
It was the Minister of Agriculture, Erne Bell, who asked the question.
William smiled at him, and then said: "The British always have a hand in everything. Whether it is retreating or advancing, they will leave a chance for themselves, such as the Strait of Gibraltar, they control it, but they never use it to stop it. The entry and exit of any country, especially Spain, they use it as a kind of Weiheli, it exists, but it is not used. There is also Norway, which is obviously encouraging Norway to become independent, but it does not dare to fall out with Sweden.
Anyway, this is a model of British per capita diplomacy.
William IV even thought of a wicked and unresolved successor left by the British in later generations.
The biggest one is the former British colony in the northern part of the Indian Ocean. The remaining issues are that India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and even Myanmar have deliberately left some territorial disputes for these countries to fight each other, but he himself hides. On the other hand, with the realization of waiting to be invited out as a referee. "
"The last question, Your Majesty, how did you make the Queen change her mind?"
William IV smiled: "Don't forget, the Tories have been in power for nearly ten years to more than a year, and they are already dissatisfied. Palmerston's trip to the Netherlands, you know."
"Next, Belgium's good show is about to be played. Everyone should be 12 points of energy. In this game of chess, only wins and no losses are allowed."
"Yes"
France, the Louvre.
Napoleon III looked at the telegram in front of him thoughtfully. According to the recent changes in the Belgian current situation, he asked the Netherlands to follow up. Sure enough, it was clearly stated on the telegram that the Netherlands was going to start correcting the situation. Belgium has acted.
However, the Netherlands has been mysterious recently. Although France is not afraid of the Netherlands, you must be careful. Could it be that William IV wanted to use France to fight against the United Kingdom for this only? There must be a conspiracy in this.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? I look at the actions of the Netherlands this time. From the very beginning, it should be more than that simple. The word "Netherlands" boldly agreed to take the lead and persuaded Prussia to fully support the French Territorial occupation of the three southern provinces of Belgium.
No, it should be said to be incorporated, but the Netherlands did not say what territory they wanted to acquire. This is a doubtful point. The second doubt is that if we follow up now, will the British anger be vented on us in the end? came on"
Olivier, Prime Minister of the French Empire, asked Napoleon III.
Napoleon III was a proud man, Olivier's problem was actually his problem, but a noble French lord, should he tell his subordinates that he doesn't know?
"Okay, just do as the Dutch telegram told us. We have decided on the three provinces in the south of Belgium. If we eat it in our mouths, there is no possibility of spitting it out. No matter how strong the British navy is, don't we fear They can't,"
Napoleon III, as a dignified monarch, patted Olivier on the shoulder affectionately, and said confidently: "God will protect our desire to achieve, Catholicism is with us, France's road to rise again, Let's start with Belgium"
Napoleon III didn't mind making a little money as an appetizer first, but he was not a fool. He naturally wouldn't easily go deep into the battle with the British to let other countries benefit from the fisherman, so he wouldn't come out of the nest, and he would never go down. blood.
But what he didn't know was that his first Belgian move indirectly affected the entire security situation and political situation in Belgium and even Europe. Although Europe did not form a large-scale war in the end, it still led to the reorganization of relations among European countries. A bout of shouting from the British Empire government.
