February 19, 1862, 8 am!
Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace.
"Alas" came a sigh, "Albert, you say, is it right or wrong for me to do this, Alice, Helena and Louise, who is 6 months away from turning 16 years old, don't know what happened this time. How effective will the trip to Amsterdam be, perhaps, I need to make some preparations to prevent accidents."
Immediately, the voice fell silent.
...
Prussia, Berlin Palace.
William I is having a family dinner.
"Victoria, do you think your sisters match up with William IV of the Netherlands the most?"
As soon as William I's words fell, all the sounds of the family banquet suddenly stopped.
Frederick I glared at the little prince William, dissatisfied with his indecent sitting posture.
But for Little Princess Charlotte next to her, she caresses her head very fondly.
"Alice is famous for being virtuous and virtuous at Buckingham Palace, but she is the person I am most optimistic about."
"How about you, Frederick?" William I said expectantly to his only heir.
"Well, I'm about the same."
Well-behaved!
The smile on William I's face withdrew from his face at a visible speed, and he said indifferently, "Prime Minister Bismarck told me two days ago that the most likely choice for William IV is Alice."
"Grandfather, why is this?" Prince William said dissatisfiedly; "Princess Alice is my aunt. Could it be that there is something wrong with William IV's eyes, can't she see how beautiful her aunt is amazingly beautiful?"
When Princess Victoria heard this, she immediately smiled and also showed dissatisfaction, because compared with other people, Alice and others had the closest relationship when she was not married.
If you can marry the Kingdom of the Netherlands next to the Kingdom of Prussia, it would be a good way for the two to meet each other from time to time.
William I was interested in the question of his only grandson, and said: "Prime Minister Bismarck said that Princess Alice's gentleness and euphemism are not in line with William IV's character, especially the world view of the world, so this is doomed to William IV. I won't choose her anymore"
Bismarck!
Princess Victoria, no, it should be called Crown Princess Victoria. She wants to say that the most hated person in the Kingdom of Prussia is the most powerful person in Prussia other than King William I.
His core, Crown Princess Victoria has seen through, is preparing for the future against Britain, just like the turmoil in Belgium the previous two months, in order to fight against the British Empire, he chose to form alliances with France and the Netherlands.
Therefore, she wrote many times to remind her mother, Queen Victoria, to be careful of this person. But so far, I haven't seen any movement. I think it's sinking into the sea. Does my mother still want to have a bad relationship with Prussia for this?
...
Belgium, the Royal Palace of Brussels.
"Father, why did you send Philip Flanders to King Valtaire to attend the banquet of William IV in Amsterdam, and you were accompanied by Prime Minister Valtaire Frere Alban? You know, our current relationship has made The purpose of people doing this is to bow their heads to the Netherlands."
Belgian Crown Prince Leopold Victor feels that his father, Leopold I, is a little different today. Today he seems to have more, by the way, it seems to have more wrinkles, from the side of his face , it can be seen that the frequency of cheek movements has increased on the face that used to be calm and waveless.
"Since the Netherlands didn't invade us an inch of territory, then we're not at war, what's more, don't forget, my niece isn't angry, is she?"
Speaking of which, Leopold I frowned unconsciously.
To be honest, he didn't really want to send his favorite second son, Amsterdam, and also sent Prime Minister Orbon there.
This is obviously a preparation for peace of mind.
But since seeing that the British Empire has chosen to ease relations, Belgium, which is even smaller, can only follow suit. This is the tragedy of a small country.
The most important thing is that Belgium is now facing the three-nation coalition forces, as well as the resistance of the people of all ethnic groups in the country. It is a good way to delay the army if you bow your head at this time and return it later.
"Vidoc, don't worry about temporary gains and losses, let's take a long-term view. Your cousin Queen Victoria will exist for a day, and few countries in the world will dare to do it alone against Belgium. Remember, do it alone. The Netherlands has officially seen this, click I was hit by the weakness of the British Empire, but at this time I was pinched by 7 inches and I couldn't move."
Do it alone!
Crown Prince Victor's heart moved, and he looked up at his father, Leopold I.
"What did your father say?"
"The alliance of the three countries is bound together, and the British Empire dare not start a war casually, but if they are separated separately, the three countries will only be together because of the existence of our Belgium. If a common goal is lost, Then, there is no need for this alliance to exist. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
More importantly, now the Netherlands is obviously ready to flirt with the British Empire. France has always been known for its cunning. I don't believe that Napoleon III would be indifferent and see everything in Amsterdam without asking. , even as I know him, maybe I regretted the alliance with the Netherlands at this time. Maybe it was too impulsive.
Also, people like William I and Bismarck of the Kingdom of Prussia are not vegetarians. You observe carefully. As long as they find the right time, they will never miss even the slightest chance and swallow any cheese. "
When Crown Prince Leopold Vidoc was listening to his ears, King Leopold I pulled him back to his senses.
By the way, remember to come and wait for me before 10 o'clock. I plan to participate in the interview with The Times with you all the time. It is said that this is the first time this newspaper has learned the style of the European Times and is going to join the interview with celebrities. Will be the first person it interviews, remember, don't be late.
Seeing the departure of his eldest son, King Leopold I felt a bit tired. He was nearly 70 years old. Recently, he has always had the idea of obeying the old. He couldn't help but sigh that everyone said that the king and the prime minister are the most difficult errand.
He thought of William IV of the Netherlands next door.
Leopold I couldn't help but sigh: "This is the largest conference in which all European countries have sent important personnel since the Vienna Conference in 1815. The Dutch William IV should not be underestimated."
Forget it, let's adjust my state, and I will be interviewed later. I don't know if I need someone to do my makeup. I think I need it, but it always feels wrong.
But come to think of it, the Netherlands has already started the political summit before the blind date conference.
