In 1831, Greece, which was nominally Ottoman Türkiye but actually autonomous, was assassinated and died, and Greece suddenly fell into anarchy.

The Ottoman Türkiye was preparing to send troops to conquer the center of Eastern Rome, but they were all stopped by other powerful countries.

In the end, the Ottoman compromised in the face of the three major powers of Britain, France and Russia, and it was the kind that was right to the end.

In 1832, when British Foreign Secretary Palmerston took advantage of the great reputation of helping Belgium to establish the country, the three countries led by Britain, France and Russia, led by him, decided to completely cut off the attempt of the Ottomans to intervene in Greece again, and the three countries jointly decided that Greece would leave Ottoman Turkey and become a separate kingdom. After many compromises, the king finally became the second son of Ludwig I, the Bavarian king of the German Confederacy, and the 17-year-old Prince Otto became the king of the newly established Greek kingdom.

But they demanded that the past heirs were descendants of Prince Otto, and if they did not have descendants Alto's younger brother and his descendants were heirs of the Greek king, they could not be the same as the throne of Bavaria.

He officially succeeded to the throne in 1833. When he succeeded, he was escorted by the army and navy of Britain, France and Russia. The purpose was naturally to prevent the Ottoman from taking risks.

Because of his minority, Greece was ruled by the Regents Committee, and the three rulers were all Bavarians.

The three advocated strong rule and introduced many policies that caused public grievances. Otto's reputation fell into a downward trend before it even began to rule.

Moreover, the Greeks soon discovered that they paid more taxes now than before, even more severe than during the Ottoman rule. Greece even had to rely on the loans of Britain, France and Russia to live, which turned out to be heavy taxation and chaos in management of the Greeks.

The Ottoman government became the bureaucratic rule of Bavaria, so the Greeks despised the "Bavarian bureaucracy". They were both sad that they still had no say. Therefore, they were even more dissatisfied with the new king arranged by Otto, the great power.

The Greeks, especially the Greeks were all Orthodox believers, but the Catholic Otto I was killed and did not change his belief in Catholicism, which made the Greeks think that he was just a stranger.

It's even more unpopular.

The following year, Greece moved its capital to Athens. Although there were many twists and turns, it was still willing to give Otto a chance in the end. People continued to tolerate it, and more than 10,000 people moved the capital to Athens successfully.

I originally thought that after moving the capital, Greece would prosper under the rule of the new king Otto I, it was not a dream, but the reality was very skinny. In the Greek government, basically more than two-thirds of the cabinet members came from Bavaria, and even the position of National Defense Law was Bavarian.

It is precisely in this case that the Greeks no longer want to endure it.

They took to the streets last week, and pro-Russian factions demanded a new Orthodox prince to replace Otto I, while pro-British factions strongly demanded that all Bavarian officials be driven away from Greece.

So the Three Kingdoms asked Otto I to put the constitutional monarchy,

I thought everything was over, but on September 3, 1843, protests broke out in Athens, demanding that Athens be replaced by Greeks to manage the Greeks, and they were eventually extinguished. However, Otto I became a "outsider to the Greeks."

Otto I tried to win back public opinion, and finally agreed to completely revoke his Bavarian advisers and convene parliament to promulgate the new constitution of 1859.

However, in 1859, the Austrian Empire and the Sardinian Kingdom war broke out.

This time Otto I had the first diplomatic disagreement with his subjects.

The Greeks stood on the Kingdom of Sardinia, but Otto I stood on the side of his relatives, the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I. In the end, the Kingdom of Sardinia won the victory with the support of Napoleon III, the French Empire.

This made his prestige completely swept into the trash can by people, but Otto I didn't want to do so and was abandoned by people. He was ready to launch a war in the hearts of the Greeks against Ottoman Turkey to inspire their inner hatred. Unfortunately, due to the lessons of the last Osa War, the Greeks no longer trusted the second son of the king of the Bavarian kingdom, a "foreigner" who only served his motherland.

In this case, many Greek students took to the streets to demand Otto I step down, and asked Greece to change kings again, and the voice became louder and louder,

In this case, William IV revealed to several people in the Tsarist Russian Empire for the first time that he had been planning to allow William III to succeed Otto I to the Greek throne.

Because he still clearly remembered in his previous life that it seemed that before the end of the year, Greece really successfully dismissed Otto I, and the successor would arrive in 1863. He was the second son of King Christian IX, who was willing to inherit the Danish throne next year from the British Empire.

Because Christian IX will take over the throne of Denmark at the beginning of next year, and at the same time, after Christian IX, his eldest daughter, Denmark's eldest princess Alysandra, married Princess Edward, who was the same year.

This is really a woman who has achieved enlightenment and can go to heaven, and all three of them have become kings.

Compared with her, Cinderella is simply not worthy of supporting her!

William IV thought to himself: The British are indeed the ones who are the best at calculating. They are digging holes everywhere and making the greatest profit everywhere.

Compared with them, the Netherlands is far from strength or ability!

.....

February 19, 1862, at exactly 10:00 am.

Outside the British Empire's embassy in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, carriages began to drive out of the most luxurious decoration of the British Empire of the Netherlands, and slowly headed towards the Dutch royal palace.

This is a simple small army. Ten people in front carry guns and walk in the military and infantry, four carriages behind them accompany them, and then they ride horses with 10 soldiers. At first glance, they saw that they were tall and handsome from England.

Along the way, many pedestrians were pointing fingers when they saw this scene, especially some knowledgeable people, who even recognized a carriage that was a high-ranking official, and the other three were dressed only by members of the royal family.

"In the past two days, we, Amsterdam, are really lively. The dignitaries and nobles from all over the European countries are running here, especially those unmarried members of the European royal family who were rare in the past. These days, it is not rare. Not to mention how the Netherlands is developing now, this scene alone is the only one I, a native Amsterdam, has seen in my life. The Netherlands seems to be as recently as the newspaper said, in the rapid rise, perhaps in the near future, it may be possible to restore the glory of the 17th and 18th centuries."

"Who said it was not? Especially in the past five or six years, with our Crown Prince William IV assisting III in participating in politics, the Netherlands has started to operate rapidly. It is just industrial factories, and the Netherlands now employs more than 500,000 people, such as plastic factories, and hardware factories. They are all the most advanced classification factories in Europe now."

"Who said no, there are many emerging companies now, such as Heineken, Shell Petroleum and Electrical, Meisujiaer Milk Products, Novoneng Food Manufacturing Company, Amsterdam Bearing Company, Dutch Industrial Advanced Equipment Manufacturing Company, KPMG Accounting Company, Dutch Shipbuilding Company, etc. "

"I am not satisfied with everyone, I am now working at Philips and serving as the workshop director of our company's latest product, Philips Bicycle."

"Ah, is it that the European bicycle manufacturer Philips has caused a sensation recently?"

"Yes"

"That's great. I'm a seller from Rotterdam. I want to buy some of your company's Philips bicycles. I don't know if this is going to work. Philips bicycles are very popular there. I even think that with Rotterdam as the southern center, if Philips agrees, I'm willing to help sell Philips bicycles in Belgium."

"Of course there is no problem. Let's go back to the company headquarters first. I think our Philips company will definitely welcome you very much."

In one of the carriages, Princess Louise listened to the various comments of pedestrians on the roadside with her ears. She started learning Dutch at the age of 10. It should be said that she has learned not only Dutch, but also the official languages ​​of the top ten European powers.

"Philips? It's the one that is now available for sale on the streets of London. There is a Philips bicycle with a single Phoenix logo in front of the front? Philips? Phoenix? Is there anything related?" Princess Louise was full of many questions.

"William IV was born in 1840 and is only 22 years old this year. It is said that this person is strong and the unique red hair of the Netherlands looks even more heroic. The most important thing is that he has created many companies in his own name. According to the information I just mentioned, now they are developing rapidly in their respective industries, and even occupying one-third of the production capacity in the Netherlands. It is terrifying. Just as the Financial News introduced some time ago, William IV is a mysterious man. Such a man is the most charming and challenging, isn't it?"

Princess Louise's carriage is the fourth, just like the successor of the throne. Except for Prime Minister Palmerston, the three princesses drove one after another according to age. This is the iron law of the European royal family, and is passed by Europe.

"Is the flying phoenix?"

In the first carriage, Viscount Palmerston tasted this sentence,

"Does the Netherlands will be like the phoenix in the East, and will be reborn in the fire?"

"Anyway, this William IV, who started to do so many foreshadowings during his time as a crown prince, seems to be an ambitious master.

Europe has a Queen Victoria as the decisive needle, which has caused a lot of European wars to be reduced recently.

But with the rise of Bismarck, Napoleon III's ambitions but not powerful.

Coupled with Alexander II's ambition, William IV, who is now a mysterious person in the Netherlands.

William IV, who can recognize the ability of the Netherlands to win over relationships and fight, and know how to hide his low-key role, is enough to make Europe's bloody storm. It seems that the sky in Europe is about to be overwhelmed.
