Compared with the poor diplomacy of the United States in later generations, this cannot but highlight how experienced the "imperial wrist" of the British gentleman of Viscount Palmerston is. Who says that the ancients are not as good as modern people? Just look at the methods of comparing the power of the American overlord in later generations and the power of the British Empire in the 19th century, you will know whose methods are more skillful!

William IV even thought it interesting that if Palmerston used its first-class method, it would have been a peace agreement with Sadam after the Gulf War, and then the United States would resume trade with Ilaq; at the same time, it signed a treaty with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, thus determining the right of the United States to garrison under the law; seized this opportunity to suppress Israel and achieve the division of Israel and Pakistan in accordance with the United States' own joint resolution formulated by the United States that year. If the former is not at ease, it can be signed formally, allowing the treaty to be formalized and legalized by the United States' common defense treaty, and even arranged for Israel to enter the bei contract.

In this way, everyone can look back and see that the peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute will allow the United States to get rid of the burden on China and reduce the waste of energy, money and troops of the United States for many years.

If these three moves were done correctly, Zhongdong might have become the sphere of influence of the United States long ago. Why did it take until the e-country and the rise to realize that it was wasted years of waste of time? Why did it be so passive in later generations? In the end, it was still in a mess and boasted about the "wise" evacuation policy, which barely made people around the world laugh!

But this is all his imagination, and it can also be said that this is what he thought after he learned first-class diplomatic methods from Viscount Palmerston.

No matter how powerful the "imperial's wrist" is, it must be based on strength.

Henry John Tapur dared to launch a Far East war because the British Empire's Admiralty confidently told him, "As long as a battleship in the British Empire can destroy all the navy in that country in one quarter."

Even in the peak of Victorian era, there is a saying that is envious to all countries in the British Empire: "The plains of North America and Tsarist Russia are barns that feed our stomachs, Chicago and Odessa are mining areas for our industrial development, Canada and Nordic are planting trees for our fleet construction and heating, Australia shepherds for us, so that our woolen sweaters will not be short, Argentina herded cattle for us, increase beef and improve quality of life, Peru sent us silver, Cape of Good Hope attack gold, Indian subcontinent and countries planting tea and silk for us, the Mediterranean is our orchard, and our cotton planting is expanding from the south of the United States to the rest of the earth where everything warms the earth."

When Queen Victoria died 40 years later, how many British people could realize that the British Empire was about to go with him during its century-old heyday and met the two terrible wars he was about to come?

In fact, the reason for the prosperity of the Victorian Empire is precisely the source of its inevitable decline, and the rise and fall of great powers, especially human resources, can be forced.

England has an advantage in manufacturing. England's indestructible maritime advantage and England's unparalleled financial system have formed the three pillars of the prosperity of the Victorian Empire. The British Empire in 1860 occupied two points of the world's population, but produced 53 points of steel and 50 points of coal in the world, consuming 50 points of cotton in the world, controlling one-third of the world's maritime trade.

The British Empire's energy consumption in a year is 4 times that of the British Empire and 150 times that of the Tsarist Russian Empire!

Industrial products now account for 60% of Europe and 45% of the world, which is an absolute world factory.

The strong productivity and the unique geographical conditions of the British Empire laid the foundation for the maritime hegemony that was superior to the British Empire. As an island country, the security of the British Empire did not require the overly powerful army that relied on land defense like other countries in the continent. The crisis caused by Napoleon made the British Empire crazyly build naval warships at that time, so that when the Napoleon crisis was lifted, they suddenly discovered that their navy was far superior to other countries.

Before the Crimean War, which began in 1853, the Tsarist Russian Empire showed off its power and the British Empire joined the war. This profound image was deeply rooted in the hearts of European countries. Everyone was heartbroken. From then on, other countries dared not fight with the British Empire at will. Therefore, the British Empire had a monopoly of maritime power for more than ten years, especially before France was about to open the Suez Canal, the British Empire came directly to the door to "snatch love from a sword".

In the military confrontation, Napoleon III's France finally made unexpected retreat and gave the Suez Canal to the British Empire, which made the British Empire even more powerful. The consequence was that the British Empire could expand its colony. In the past ten years, William IV had carefully calculated that the overseas colonies of the British Empire increased terrifyingly at a speed of 100,000 square kilometers every year, which was equivalent to the British Empire's increase in territory every two years, which was terrifying!

Under the protection of maritime rights, the British Isles became a security paradise in Europe. Developed industries and vast colonies provided ideal investment places, and the parliament formulated laws to protect the rights and interests of investors.

Since the British Empire replaced Amsterdam as the new strongest global financial center after the victory of the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War at the end of the last century, with the unprecedented development of the British Empire, the British Empire has also entered an unprecedented boom. Therefore, the British Empire has become the center of manufacturing, trade and capital flow in Europe. From here, we can see that these three advantages complement each other and form a virtuous cycle that has been repeated, supporting the sun, which has just been called the Empire of Sun Never Setting.

However, William IV knew that just like the sun every day, there were times when it set. In the 1880s, after the Great Depression of the Global World, the three pillars of the British Empire would quickly shake the roots. The virtuous cycle was not stable. The speed seemed to be as fast as Prussia kicked away Austria in 1871 to establish the German Empire alone. The United States surpassed the British Empire and became the world's largest GDP power. The Great Depression caused the rise of the newly emerging powers Prussia and the United States to rise faster, making the British Empire unable to reflect.

At this time, the dominance of the British Empire began to turn down the sky and the sunset, and the power began to slowly transfer to other rising powers.

If the Netherlands wants to develop, it must seize the right time to attack. The Great Depression in 1887 was a starting point, not as many others think it was in World War I and William IV could not wait that long. After all, how could it take so long for fifty or sixty years?

However, even in 1887, there were 25 years left before now. At that time, William IV was already forty-six, and William II, the future famous emperor of the German Empire who was only two years old last year, was 27 years old. It was during that time that Bismarck was also ousted. From then on, the German Empire began to slowly go astray in diplomacy and fall deeper and deeper.

Therefore, the Netherlands needs to make reasonable use of these 25 years to develop itself, attack adults, balance out the power and diplomacy, and calculate everything about the British Empire, France, Tsarist Russia, Prussia and Austria, and to weaken their national strength. This is what the Netherlands needs to do the most.

Why not do it if he rises and descends?

Although the Kingdom of Dutch appears to have entered the top ten in the world, and even secretly added the hidden strength of the East India Naval Base, reaching 180,000 tons to reach the top three, the top three are still the top three. France and the British Empire are currently subtle. Most of the competition is because the two countries do not feel the threat from other countries. If the Netherlands, a country around the two countries, rises at this time, William IV will not have to think about it, and they will know that these two countries will definitely directly suppress the Netherlands, either openly or secretly. Britain and France can dominate, but other countries must go through their common "baptism of war" to gain recognition.

This is also why Prussia has to hold Tsarist Russia tightly and at the same time joins Austria to prevent these two countries. The same is true for the Netherlands to be close to Prussia now.

The surface strength of the Netherlands is not enough to arouse the vigilance of other countries. This is helpless and it is also an insurance policy. It is very good that it does not arouse fear from other countries. It is considered a lucky in helplessness.

William IV thought so much, but it was actually just a matter of a moment.

"Your Majesty, after analysis by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we need to take action to cooperate with this fox hunting operation planned last week."

Foreign Minister Hesbet Fon said here, and said: "Because Leopold I has been getting closer to the British recently, and the intelligence received by our intelligence personnel seems to be ready to let the British Empire's navy garrison in the port of Blankenberg to add a sense of security in Belgium."

William IV frowned and said, "Then let's start the secret chess, but be careful that the British Empire is not the target we are currently fighting against."

Seeing the helpless look of the other people, he said strangely: "But, I think we can do nothing to resist, but some countries can."

"Your Majesty, you mean," Hesbet Feng immediately realized it and couldn't help but say, "But will Napoleon III not want to intervene because he takes into account the British Empire?"

Yes, this is a port close to the Netherlands, not the direction close to France. Perhaps it was the British who saw this that they did so. What they wanted was that France itself knew the current affairs and was unwilling to be too busy. The Netherlands alone did not dare to confront the British Empire and interfered in Belgium's internal affairs.

It's really a careful calculation!

But is this really the case?

William IV Zhizhu said in his grip: "Don't forget, who is the one who valued the most in Napoleon I now? Who is the leader of the faction who needs the most to appease to maintain his rule?"

"Emier Olivier!"

The current justice minister and prime minister of the French Empire is said to have never liked the British Empire.

"Napoleon III is now facing many people's doubts about his foreign policy in China, so he won over Olivier, just to use him as a cover. Chacha is the most staunch supporter of the founding of Belgium. If we know the British Empire and Belgium's plans, we must not have to do anything, and we can do it once and for all. However, in order to have more guarantees, we still need the first seed secret chess in Belgium!"

"Yes!" Hesbet Fon nodded and responded.
