"It seems that Prince Orange, no, should I say William IV is a good choice?" asked Queen Victoria.

"It's indeed a good choice," Viscount Palmerston nodded and affirmed.

"Oh well"

"It is said that William IV is preparing to hold a marriage meeting in Amsterdam. At that time, it will gather the royal family members of the marriageable age in Europe. At that time, it will be a good opportunity."

Queen Victoria thought for a while and said, "That's it."

"Well, Princess Helena is 16 years old, so she can attend this meeting."

Queen Doria didn't question it anymore this time, nodded and said, "Yes."

...........

William IV in Amsterdam didn't know that the two most influential people in London were targeting him. To be precise, they were targeting the financial services business in the Netherlands, which has always been famous for the world.

He is now continuing to run his Privy Council meeting.

I just talked about the person Henry John Tapur, Viscount Palmerston. William IV also attached everyone's actions to be light and accurate. Don't attract this person's attention.

Because this person just read the biography in his previous life, many netizens at that time were furious and caused a lot of hot discussions.

Among them, the war that will be unforgettable for the Chinese people for a lifetime was initiated by Henry John Tapur, who served as the Foreign Minister at that time, and caused the Chinese people to suffer so much vicissitudes and sufferings.

"Only when a nation truly stands up can it face and reflect on the humiliating history before its rise."

This is the source of the awakening of the Chinese people after the man-made disaster brought by this person.

What makes many people most regretful to William IV is that Lin Xu's heroic spirit in 1839, even turning the tide, moved his loyalty to serve the country, knowing that he cannot do it.

However, with Lin Xu's shrewdness and ability, unfortunately, the Chinese people's vision at that time was limited to the domestic and had no basic understanding of the development of the overseas situation. Otherwise, Lin Xu would not have chosen to smoke in that year.

The rulers at that time, including Lin Xu, did not realize that their real opponents were not the cigarette dealers, but Queen Victoria far away in London and Henry John Tapur who was in charge of her foreign policy.

After the establishment of the European hegemony and maritime power, the British Empire became their national policy. From the east step by step, they directly broke the traditional forces of the Indian subcontinent with naval guns, and then drove away the territory of Portugal, the Netherlands and France there. A country enjoyed a piece of the continent, which further encouraged the power of the British Empire. Later, the Li cannon broke the gate of the Qing Dynasty, which became a major event that would inevitably happen, because who would satisfy the present, there is no best, only better!

History is a combination of necessity and accident!

The people in power, including Mr. Lin, accidentally chose the worst opportunity to smoke.

Because in this year, Henry John Tapur, the foreign minister of the British Empire, who was originally low-key, performed a major event that made the Netherlands the most embarrassing in European diplomatic history, and had a very profound impact on the European situation, because he created a new country through means.

The northeastern France and the southern part of the Netherlands were originally a plain without any danger. Any hostile force that controls here would put huge pressure on the British Isles opposite the sea, because it was the closest place to the British Empire except France.

When the Holy Alliance started fighting with Napoleon I, Duke Wellington of the British Empire led the Holy Alliance to defeat Napoleon I in a positive form, eliminating the biggest crisis since the founding of the British Empire.

From then on, ensuring that this land does not fall into the powerful opponents of the British Empire will become the most urgent target deep in the heart of the British Empire.

When the Vienna system was established, the British Empire originally wanted to take it into account, but other major powers opposed it, especially France and Austria, which eventually failed.

However, in order not to fall into the hands of other powers, the British Empire finally settled for the second best. After compromising with all parties, the land was allocated to the Dutch Kingdom, which had already landed in the second-rate country. The British Empire was unwilling to accept it. After all, the Netherlands fought four wars at the end of the last century, and other countries obviously disgusted the British Empire's ambition to this territory.

This is a thorn in the heart of the British Empire, and many people are very upset about it.

It was at this time that in 1830, Henry John Tapur became the new foreign minister of the British Empire. When others were wasting their time for more than ten years, it took him only a short year to shock Europe and Britain was happy because he accomplished many of the British wanted to do.

He first created the Dutch life outbreak in early 1830, and then lured other countries to gather troops from France, Prussia, Tsarist Russia and Austria, and was about to join the financial capital of Central and North Europe to stop the riots.

Henry John Tapur finally knew that the time was ripe. His good method could allow the British Empire to neither participate in governance nor become a bridgehead for the British Empire's continental power once and for all. Finally, it was about to be completed.

He had a smart plan. As long as he did not allow this place to become a position against the British Empire, a springboard, and a territory of other powerful countries to threaten the British Empire, there was only one possibility, that was, to make it a country alone outside the Netherlands.

And the Dutch crisis is an opportunity, the opportunity he created!

So in order to accomplish this, he began to use this as his goal, running around countries, joining forces, and sometimes even used naval threats and demonstrations to France, Prussia, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, etc. After nine years of matchmaking and inducement, he threatened.

He succeeded, and he became the creator of this miracle!

At the end of 1839, he finally completed this task. With the helpless agreement of the European countries, including William II of the Netherlands, the Duchy of Belgium separated from the Kingdom of the Netherlands and established its own kingdom. King Leopold I was also Queen Victoria's uncle, and he and it were also pro-English enough!

Of course, the parties to the signing of the Belgian Convention at that time said that Belgium was not allowed to be biased towards any country and always be neutral. At the same time, the armies of other countries in the signing countries could not enter Belgium without Belgium's consent.

This is the discussion among netizens in their previous lives.

If Lin Gong smoke was before this matter, Henry John Tapur, who was working hard to deal with the founding of Belgium, would have no time to look east, and the naval fleet concentrated in the local area would not be able to send troops to the Far East.

The Belgian Convention was just signed in 1839, and the whole of Europe heard about his reputation, and all countries, especially small countries, were trembling.

The spread of smoke from the Far East hit Europe, which hit his reputation. Naturally, this person would not compromise easily. So he roared at the diplomatic conference that this was an incident involving Queen Victoria's dignity and could not be compromised at all, so a series of subsequent events developed.

It was this convention that created his prestige. It laid the foundation for the British Empire's policy of balanced strength on the European continent. The national interests of the British Empire became the justice and axiom of the continent for a time.

Just like the later Western American Godfathers said, it was just a tool to occupy the moral peak, which was called thinking about the world, but actually protecting one's own national interests.

Later, when the French-Prussian War was launched after Prussia, the then Prime Minister of the British Empire, Gladstone, slowed down the convention, and both sides of the warring parties were not allowed to infringe on Belgium's neutrality. The warning of the British Empire was subconsciously abided by the two countries.

From then on, the style of defenders of the European Guardians and the defenders of the order fell into the hands of Britain. Gladstone was the direct descendant brought by Henry John Tapur, also the leader of the Whig Party, and succeeded Henry John Tapur.
