Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 823: Germany also wants to settle in Asia?

German Empire, Berlin.

"While the Dutch military strength is growing, Britain's actions are not a bluff. The two countries are currently adhering to the mentality of 'I can not kill people, but I have to sharpen my sword'. Under the competition between Britain and the Netherlands, the arms competition of other countries - The game is actually accelerating the upgrade.

In addition to the allies of the Netherlands, European countries are also very conspicuous in their military investment in the Far East. Napoleon III was unable to get off the British train. He had sent important figures from the Ministry of Defense to London to prepare to sign a significant defense agreement there. , learn from the reciprocal access agreement between Spain and the Netherlands, which is regarded as the most important agreement in more than 18 years when France and Britain faced Spain and the Netherlands in the 100th century.

They are the same as the Dutch-Spanish agreement, which allows the two countries to plan larger and more complex military exercises and also deploy troops to each other not at home but only in overseas territories.

In addition to Britain and France, the Tsarist Empire has already sent 0 warships to the Far East in Pineapple's naval fleet, preparing to deploy in Vladivostok.

Spain has publicly stated that it will recruit an army of 5 indigenous troops in the Philippines. In addition, more than 10 Spanish white troops are deployed in Luzon and Mindanao in the north and south, which is the largest deployment of troops in history. France is considering moving France to its colonies in North and South Vietnam. There are more than 20 people. It seems that like the Netherlands and Spain, white people have migrated eastward.

In addition, Italy is currently sending a diplomatic team to visit Japan. It is obvious that Italy is taking advantage of the triangular relationship between Britain, Japan and the Netherlands and wants to take the opportunity to intervene in the relationship between great powers.

Japan, on the other hand, may have had an opportunity. It has already purchased the technology and production technology for manufacturing rear rifled guns from our German Empire, and Your Majesty has agreed to Japan's request.

Austria-Hungary has reached an agreement with the Qing Dynasty to further facilitate trade."

Bismarck raised his head and looked at William I and Moltke. The German iron triangle looked at each other, and then Bismarck said: "As early as 1878, the Dutch had already formed a Russian coalition in South America, plus Chile. A six-nation coalition was formed. Now the Netherlands is using the South American Union to help Mexico fight against the influence of the United States and Britain in the north. It is also close to Austria-Hungary, making Mexico fully accept the quasi-alliance of the South American Union security system provided by the Netherlands.

In addition, the three countries of the Central American Federation are getting closer.When we were deploying in the Far East, in addition to the Dutch response, we still had the power to make progress step by step in the Americas and cannibalize other small forces in Latin America. "

Crown Prince Frederick, who seemed to be in the audience, suddenly interrupted Bismarck and asked: "Didn't the American Commonwealth almost fall out with the Netherlands? President Stephen's relationship with the Netherlands is well known, and he is willing to form a quasi-ally with our German Empire. This makes The German Empire has gained a foothold in North America. It also has the capital to compete with the British and Dutch."

Bismarck retorted: "I do not agree with what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said."

He ignored Crown Prince Frederick's embarrassment with his frank words and said directly to him: "A quasi-ally is a quasi-ally, but it is far from an ally."

He followed: "The United States is different from our German Empire. The United States has a domestic two-party system. The balance between the two parties is more stable than the two parties in the United Kingdom. Stephen's Democratic Party government has almost let the Netherlands offend. The collective exodus of American capital tycoons from the United States has resulted in the loss of millions of jobs in the United States. This has not only angered Dutch-American members within the Democratic Party and senators and representatives supported by Dutch-Americans, not to mention those in the Republican Party. The two sides have already started impeachment actions, and it seems that they are going to remove the other party from power. Now in New York, as long as you speak against the Kingdom of the Netherlands, maybe at the next moment if you are a white-collar worker or a worker, you will be laid off soon. The business may even go bankrupt. In this case, can those in Washington have the final say?"

Crown Prince Frederick argued dissatisfied: "But will Americans of other ethnic groups allow the Dutch to be so tyrannical?"

Bismarck smiled, and then said coldly: "These days, whoever wants to have trouble with his own campaign sponsors, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think that those congressmen are vegetarians? What's more, millions of people's jobs and families are not as good as the Dutch. The factories of capital companies are closely related, and no one wants to have trouble with his job."

Crown Prince Frederick wanted to continue to refute, but Bismarck shook his head and said in a softer voice: "As early as 1861, during the time of President Lincoln, the Netherlands had only an alliance or even an alliance with Lord Lincoln, and we have an alliance with Lord Lincoln. The United States is following the path that others took nearly 20 years ago.

In 1863, the Netherlands and the United States still had a framework treaty, the "Dutch-American Defense Relations Framework Agreement", and in the ten years from 1865 to 1875, they successively signed the "General Military Information Security Italic" and the "Logistics Exchange Agreement Memorandum" ", "Intelligence Compatibility and Security Agreement", "Inter-American Trade Agreement Cooperation Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement". The Pacific Netherlands-America Free Trade Agreement and other pillars”

The more Crown Prince Frederick listened, the more his heart sank.

At this time, William I faked a cough, and then said: "World politics is good in Europe, but the rise of America, the Netherlands' migration to the Far East, and Spain's migration, etc., all indicate that the weight of the Far East has rapidly increased, so we in Germany need Pay attention to,
What the Prime Minister said just now is correct. Although the United States has good relations with us, they have their own plans. Even if Stephen supports the alliance between the United States and Germany, there are many people in the United States and the Democratic Party who oppose it, and they are still = Established on the condition that the Dutch and their allies would not object.”

"With the migration of the Netherlands, various countries have shifted part of their focus to Asia. Britain, which pursues business with swords, and other European countries, have also increased their military investment in the Far East at any time. Although Japan is currently benefiting from the support of Britain, Japan has risen , but the strength is about the same as Italy.

As for the Kingdom of Siam, even in Europe, its strength can only be compared with the Kingdom of Greece, a country that respects the last place.

Although the Qing Dynasty absorbed Western technology and culture, the world was too big and the internal world was chaotic and chaotic. It was difficult to move forward in unison, and its strength could not be said to be scary.Goryeo is just meat on a stick, and whoever likes it eats it.

Therefore, Asia is no longer just for Asians. The surrounding environment in the Far East is not optimistic. It is not very likely that the Netherlands will follow the Monroe Doctrine of President Monroe of the United States. "

When William I said this, he showed his trademark old fox smile and said: "However, the more chaotic the better, so that the German Empire can settle down there."
