Chapter 21 Unrest Caused by Revelations

"Belgium is not stopping, and the Netherlands' Pacific expansion continues?

Is this title enough to attract attention?

This was the hottest topic in the West in January 1862.

Not enough? There are more.

Is the British Empire coming?

It is going to build a naval military base in Ostad, the central harbor city on the coast of Belgium?

According to a leaked Belgian government "confidential intelligence report", after establishing the first military base of the British Empire on the European continent in Gibraltar in southern Europe, the British Empire intends to establish a permanent military base in the central coastal region of Belgium, which is also the second military base of the United Kingdom on the European continent.

But what is strange is that the information leaked by this intelligence has not been denied or recognized by the British Empire now."

The newspapers that have influence in the West now include the British Empire's "The Finnish"/The London Times/The Times", France's "Le Figaro"/Le Monde", Prussian's "Berlin Daily"/The North German General Report, Austria's "Christmas"/The News", Spain's "Madrid Daily"/The Spanish Pioneer, Swedish "Domestic Post"/The Nordic Times and Norway's "Evening Post", the Dutch Daily Report/The Dutch Business Daily/The Neu-Rotterdam, the Tsarist Russian Empire's "Voice of Tsarist Russia"/The St. Petersburg Daily, the American New York Post/The Chicago St.

They all have a great influence in their own countries, and it is difficult for other countries to get involved, except for one newspaper, which rose five years ago. The newspaper headquartered in the Principal of Luxembourg, far from the Netherlands, was located in the middle of the four wars, and became the fastest-growing, widest range, published in the most countries, and the most credible newspaper in Europe.

It is the most influential European Times in Europe from 1857 to 1862. In addition to Luxembourg and the Netherlands, it also has its branches in the Kingdom of Belgium, French Empire, British Empire, Portugal and Spanish Kingdom, and even the recently started independent Italy, the Ottoman Empire in eastern Europe and the Tsarist Russian Empire, and Luxembourg's close neighbors, the Kingdom of Austria, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Bavaria, the Kingdom of Hannover, the Kingdom of Württemberg, etc., the European Times has its own distribution step by step. It can be said that it has created history and become a newspaper that the whole of Europe reads every day, so its influence can be seen.

Her persistent style is a fair, just and open strategy, and her position is impartial, which is the source of its recognition.

Its new publications appear every day are enough to attract people's attention.

The new day on February 1, 1862 has finally arrived.

As before, they fell down and didn't want to leave. The news in this issue was as always because it was too explosive.

According to the exclusive revelations received by Luxembourg's European Times, according to the investigation results of joint private institutions between France, the Netherlands and Prussia, using the resources of these institutions to the highly confidential military intelligence departments of their respective countries, if the base is built, it will not only not provide the British Empire with huge warship fuel and daily necessities, but also replenish ammunition and provide warship repairs. The British Empire will use this as a more substantial ability to dominate the western coast of Europe. This may be a terrible nightmare for western coastal countries in Europe.

The British Empire will find a policy frontier base in southern China that affects European countries. This threat is causing ophthalm consequences to the Netherlands, France and even the German Confederacy, and this threat is sounding the alarm for France and the Netherlands.

But these private institutions refused to disclose more details, saying that they did not receive more supporting information because they were afraid of leaking secrets from various countries.

The report tried to prove that the British Empire was indeed interested in this information. A research report from within Belgium and a proposal was approved by Prime Minister Valvaté Freir Orbon and was now ready to be sent to the Belgian parliament for a vote. If approved, it will take effect immediately as long as the Belgian King Leopold I signed it.

If this is true, it is hard to think that it will be groundless and purely fictional.

The second source of information is to send a colonel from the Dunkirk fleet in the northwestern France to the Navy in the Navy in northwestern France, saying in an interview with our newspaper: "The frequent frequency of warships from the British Empire has increased in the past month, which is obviously very likely to be preparing for the construction of a naval base."

The colonel also said: "If the British army really enters Belgium, it will be the most important threat in France's history. It will be the time when France needs to face the most powerful enemy threat. It even exceeds the original Holy Alliance period, because there was only one uneven alliance at that time, and now a sea overlord built a bunker beside France's couch to stare at you to sleep. Can France sleep?"

The third information is an expert in the Kingdom of the Netherlands who is familiar with the internal political situation in Belgium, and is also a special expert of our newspaper. Hermann Van Ronpe, dean of the School of Foreign Affairs of Leiden University, revealed in an interview: "The Netherlands is very worried that the British Empire will establish a base in Belgium. After all, it is about 100 kilometers away from the Netherlands. This will make Britain so close to the Netherlands for the first time. This is a very terrifying thing. I think not only do we not want the base to be settled and built, but other continental countries will not agree with Belgium's practice. Therefore, I use the European Times to say, "You do this in the British Empire, be careful to arouse public anger!"

Finally, the president also told the newspaper with vigilance that he mentioned that in the report submitted by the Netherlands to Parliament at the beginning of this year, the British Empire might consider establishing naval bases in Belgium, Norway, Portugal, Italy, Sicily, etc., and said that this was a wide net operation, and that one caught was a net profit action of a fish, which was "good intentions", reminding all countries to be careful to attract wolves into the house. The story of the Netherlands and Belgium in 1830 is a lesson from the past!
