Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 848 Seizing Bismarck’s Achilles Heel
In Melbourne, King William IV of the Netherlands and Bill Charlie, the intelligence director of the Dutch Royal Bureau, continue to hold superior-to-subordinate meetings on the issue of intelligence collection.

After receiving the information, William IV quickly analyzed the pros and cons.

William IV: "Although Bismarck has gained awe in various countries, people in Germany have mixed reviews of Bismarck. No one can deny that Bismarck has superb political art, but his moral values ​​and various intentions are criticized. All around.

At present, in the eyes of the German emperor, domestic patriots and conservative defenders, Bismarck has brought an unprecedented period of stability to the country and Europe; once William I dismisses the navigator one day, what people will see is not only conflict.

In the eyes of liberal critics, Bismarck had and always will have Saiyan intentions.Berlin said that Bismarck was a great and evil man.

Liberals believe that he was an aggressor who consciously used war as a tool to implement policies. What is worse, these people believe, is that Bismarck promised every war to solidify his identity as an aggressor. ;

In the eyes of these people, Bismarck was still a liar. He introduced democratic procedures solely to protect the undemocratic Prussian establishment;

Bismarck was also a bully who used the tools of state power of the German Empire to coerce his opponents, used cultural struggle to deal with the Catholic Church, used the Colonial Council to intimidate the Poles, and used prohibition to suppress society. Democrats. "

William IV's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "This guy will not deny all of this. Undoubtedly, in his opinion, in order to prevent major problems, the correct approach is to perform minor surgery and start a small dose of difficult-to-smell medicine." To borrow the words of Bismarck's admirers from the left-wing camp of the German Empire: 'The history of the modern European continent in the 19th century can be traced back to Napoleon I, the First Empire of France, Viscount Palmerston of the British Empire, and Bismarck of the German Empire. It is written from the perspective of these three giants, and among these three, Bismarck probably caused the least harm."

The intelligence chief next to him, Bill Charlie, listened silently. As an intelligence officer, the style of work he has always developed is to wait for instructions.

Although he has been a close confidant of William IV for many years, his compliance with professional ethics is the reason why he is favored by William IV. Precisely because he never relies on being pampered, he has always been by William IV's side. The most important personal intelligence chief.

After William IV sighed, he said solemnly: "The people who ordered you began to mobilize public opinion within the German Empire, inciting liberals to attack the conservatives and Prussian power groups who supported Bismarck, and let them kill each other = Kill, and then invite the top talents in Germany from =. I don’t believe that those who were harmed by the attacks on the interests of Bismarck and the Prussian Junker aristocratic group and counterattacked are still willing to stay in Germany and not come. Netherlands."

Bill Charlie secretly felt sad for the Germans.

Your Majesty's move will draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.

Using Bismarck's totalitarian politics to suppress ordinary people and the middle class, the three Dutch intelligence centers of the Netherlands International Intelligence Agency, the Royal Netherlands Intelligence Service, and Military Intelligence [-] have jointly staged many attacks in recent years. According to the pre-arranged plot in the German Empire and other countries on the European continent, the top talents who were favored were bullied by the local government and capitalists, and then held a grudge. At this time, Dutch intelligence officers or the Dutch Embassy The consulate staff suddenly intervened, and then the talent was successfully obtained.

This trick was not only successful in the German Empire, but also achieved its goal repeatedly in other countries such as France.

Bill Charlie smiled and said: "In 1878, Bismarck issued a death order to the entire principalities and kingdoms under the German Empire, not allowing us to continue to immigrate Germans in large numbers in the German Empire. However, the effect appeared. Only in 1879 It has been reduced by two-thirds from the previous basis. Now His Majesty is doing this, it seems that he wants to take revenge = Bismarck."

William IV gave the other party a roll of his eyes.

Then he said: "Since he likes to control quantity, let us exchange quantity for quality. Hum, I want all the talents in the German Empire to be used by the Netherlands. Let's see how big they can become?" =
Bill Chachi said flatteringly: "I believe that the German liberals will not disappoint His Majesty and I. Coupled with the anarchists' anarchy that has just been suppressed by Bismarck, Bismarck will also do the same in the future." I have a terrible headache.”

"More than that," William IV said with a wicked smile: "If you think that these two things can make the energetic Bismarck haggard, you are wrong. The old guy is very energetic. I also have a gift. Give it to him"

Bill Charlie looked at the evil smile on William IV's face and felt a chill in his heart. Over the years, this expression has become very deep to him. He remembers that His Majesty only showed this expression twice in front of him over the years. After showing this expression once, Britain lost nearly 7 troops in South Africa. Britain was embarrassed in front of the whole world, and the influence and deterrence of the British Empire declined.

As for the second expression, it was because President Lincoln was assassinated not long after the invasion.

This is the third time, what is your Majesty going to do? Is it possible that your Majesty is going to attack Bismarck?

Thinking of this, Bill Charlie was frightened.

So he couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, are you ready to deal with Bismarck?"

William IV looked at the cautious expression and immediately understood the content behind his expression.

Bill Charlie said worriedly: "It is not an exaggeration to say that Bismarck is the backbone of the German Empire. If your Majesty really deals with Bismarck, and the assassination is found out, the Dutch territories in Europe will be devastated. William I, Bismarck and Moltke are not Although losing one of the German Iron Triangle is a big loss to Germany, other European countries can breathe a sigh of relief. But if we know that it was us who did it, then we will become the target of Germany's full attack. Your Majesty, if you want to assassinate the opponent , you need to be cautious.”

"And even if it's not an assassination, Bismarck will take revenge on us crazily. After all, we offended him first. I'm just afraid that Bismarck will go directly to the British side, which is currently hostile to us, and suppress us with all his strength. By then, we will But the pressure is about to rise sharply, so, next, you need to think twice before dealing with Bismarck I."

"It seems that Bismarck scares all of you." William IV said: "However, I like to challenge difficult things. Let's put it this way, I have mastered a lot of Bismarck's Achilles' heel this time. Bill, you Just wait and see, the show is about to take place next.”
