Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne - Vol 3 Chapter 458

“Netherlands’ allies and security partners in Europe do not believe that Prussia’s rise is peaceful. In recent years, Berlin has increased its military activities in the Baltic and the Atlantic Ocean, and has increased its territorial claims to the disputed area with Denmark on the north-sea coast of the Baltic estuary. , and enhanced the navigation of warships near the Norwegian Sea in Sweden.

The bloodiest conflict in the German Confederacy in over a century broke out between Prussia and Austria-Hungary.

If Prussia tries to re-invade Denmark, I don’t think other European Guo Jiahui will sit idly by, and I think the probability that Britain will accept it is extremely low. They might consider creating a Holy Quadruple League similar to the one they did against Napoleon I, but with Prussia and the French Empire.”

William IV secretly said: “No one will join at this stage. If it is created in a certain way, it will not work.”

Ever since Napoleon III ordered the invasion of the Kingdom of Siam, after the Netherlands led the Hague International Court of Justice to sanction the French Empire, France has been accusing the Hague International Court of Justice of trying to provoke the French Empire, not naming the Netherlands as seeking to establish similarities on the European continent. The Holy Alliance’s approach is only lighter in weight than the original Holy Alliance.

This week, countries from the alliance gathered in Copenhagen, Denmark, to celebrate the wedding of the Danish crown prince, in fact, to seek an update on the conspiracy to impose sanctions on France.

Even many politicians in Spain have said that if France does not “take care” of Spain’s interests, then the connection with the International Court of Justice in The Hague may protect Spain’s interests on the issue of confrontation.

The seemingly interactive cooperation between France and Britain in the Far East began, prompting the Spanish government, which has colonized the Philippines in the Far East, to commit to upgrading Spain’s military, including increasing Spain’s defense spending to higher levels by more than 10 percent.

At the same time, Spain is also negotiating with the Dutch Far East Arms Company. Spain intends to order five steam battleships from the second-ranked arms company in the Netherlands, three of which will be deployed in Spain and the other two will be deployed in the Philippines. Another ship will be deployed in Cuba.

Brown, chief researcher and director of the Amsterdam Institute for Peace, the Netherlands’ most prominent think tank group, said of the new tensions over the concerns of the Netherlands-led International Court of Justice in The Hague on France and the concern of the newly formed “The Hague Security Council” on the United Kingdom. Sure to make Anglo-French-Pop uneasy, feel betrayed and threatened

Even King Carl XV of Sweden said in an interview with The Australian Times that the French invasion of the Royal Palace of Siam and Prussia’s annexation of the entire German Confederation had made other countries feel threatened and brought everyone together to help each other, “whether they” the Hague security Council members are also members of the International Hague Tribunal Organization, or non-member states like Tsarist Russia, Austria-Hungary or the Ottoman Empire””

……

On December 25, 1868, as the Kingdom of Siam continued to be invaded by France, ElBaradei, the first director-general of the International Society of the Red Cross, warned yesterday that the war in the Far East had caused sanctions and counter-sanctions between Western countries on global food security. , the impact of energy and international capital is very serious and is intensifying.

The barriers set up by European countries have led to unprecedented famine and poverty on both sides of the Atlantic, triggering social and economic turmoil in various countries, and more than 50 million people are expected to be affected. He believes that the French Empire should stop the aggression against the Kingdom of Siam, which is the solution The only solution to the problem.

But the Prime Minister of the French Empire, Olivier, criticized: “ElBaradei is just a puppet of the Netherlands, and the International Red Cross is only a tool used by the Netherlands to win people’s hearts, and now it has become a tool to blame opponents. It will be examined whether the organization throughout France, including Paris, has done anything against the French national interest.”

With the two accusing each other, there are growing signs that the war may be protracted and far-reaching.

On December 26, 1868, Napoleon III said in Paris that he would not let the efforts of his soldiers be in vain, and that he would let France take root there.

On December 26, King Rama IV of the Kingdom of Siam reiterated the conditions for the armistice of the Kingdom of Siam: to retake all the territories seized by the French Empire, to restore territorial integrity, and to ensure that the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Siam would not be invaded by the French.

This means that France and Siam have so far found it difficult to accept each other’s lack of a ceasefire consensus.

After the failure of the French Empire to attack the Cambodia area of ​​the Kingdom of Siam in the west, it has narrowed its strategic focus to occupying the central and eastern parts of Cambodia, and has even divided two provinces there for the control of the South Vietnamese Governor’s Office of the French Empire. The two armies have recently exchanged fire fiercely on several fronts in central Cambodia and have repeatedly seized positions.

Most European military analysts believe that the war in the Far East has the entire West watching, and it seems that the war between France and the Kingdom of Siam is turning into a war of attrition that may continue for months or even years.

Paris still insists on aggression and aggression only because the interests of the French Empire in the Far East have been damaged~www.mtlnovel.com~ At present, France has only mobilized less than one-third of its troops to participate in the war in the Far East, and declared a state of war on the grounds that Only then can Napoleon III implement a national mobilization.

The Kingdom of Siam has been mobilized. Its territory is vast, and it has always been supported by a steady stream of weapons and military aid from all European countries outside the French Empire.

Although it is currently because the Kingdom of Siam needs a period of time to train new recruits and learn to operate new Western weapons to form a fighting force.

Both sides thus have the potential to prolong the war at present, and once the Kingdom of Siam is ready and begins a strategic counter-offensive, the war may escalate further.

“The Age of Rebirth”

“In addition to the pressure on global energy prices and currency due to sanctions against France, the current slow-moving of industrial products in the UK and Prussia has also led to lower prices of industrial products, unable to effectively reduce inventories, and increased industrial employment in the UK, France, and Prussia. The loss has exacerbated the sharp drop in employment in the three countries.

At present, there has been a panic in the three countries. ”

The three countries had no money to buy grain, which also led to a large amount of wheat and grains that were unsalable in American warehouses, unwilling to promote sales at low prices, which exacerbated the grain shortage in European countries such as Britain, France, and Pulau.

The most affected country was Prussia. On December 25, William I and Bismarck even commissioned the Italian King Inmanuel II as a lobbyist to go to Amsterdam to meet Tolbeck and visit William IV, calling on the Netherlands to assist France and the Kingdom of Siam. Cease fire and release enough food stocks for commerce.

The war not only interrupted the friendly relations between France and neighboring countries in Europe, but also pushed up the price of food, but also affected the instability of the industrial product market in the three countries of Britain, France and Prussia.
