Chapter 47 North America, I'll Divide

Did the British Empire give in?

What an incredible thing this is, but everything happened before his eyes, and he couldn't help but believe it.

Hesbet Feng, the Foreign Minister, was only observing his identity and standing by. He personally saw how this transaction was created out of nothing.

It is even more shocking about how William IV uses various advantages he has created to achieve his goal, especially the means of using the Tsarist Russian Empire to threaten the prime minister of the British Empire.

Obviously, this trading territory was proposed by William IV, but now it has become the Tsarist Russian Empire urgently demanded that the Netherlands trade. With the change of active and passive identities, the Netherlands became the last bargaining chip in the British Empire that crushed Viscount Palmerston.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath of air conditioning with Prime Minister Thorbek.

Your Majesty, indeed, His Majesty William IV, who admires the most. He is extraordinary when he takes action!

One hour later, only King William IV, Prime Minister Thorbek and Foreign Minister Hesbet and Fon were left in the Dutch palace.

After the two parties' arguments just now, the final plan was finally released.

The British Empire began to count the Queen Charlotte Islands in the Pacific region of Canada, along the Pisce River to the Great Slave Lake, and to the north of the Charles River estuary.

"We were equivalent to getting the Queen Charlotte Islands, the entire British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon, the Northwest and including Nunavut, especially the Arctic Islands that were not included in it were also given to us by Palmerston in the form of a gift.

However, one thing I don’t understand is that when Palmerston just proposed to give all Saskchewin to His Majesty, why did His Majesty refuse, just the West?"

Hesbet Feng was a little puzzled.

Before William IV could leave, Thorbeck next to him solved his doubts.

"Because, Your Majesty doesn't want the Netherlands to border too much with the United States now. Don't forget that we just hit the United States in the Hawaiian Islands. If we have too many borders with the United States at this time, then with the United States' advantages, it is very likely that we will become the target of the American people's venting.

Moreover, Palmerston, the British Prime Minister, is not a vegetarian. He wants the United States to teach us a lesson to balance the relationship between the Netherlands and the United States. This old guy is so old, he still likes to play with it."

Hesbet Feng woke up.

"British wants the United States to check and balance us."

Tolbek added: "He is also using us to check and balance the United States and prevent the United States from really implementing Monroeism and dominating the Americas."

William IV shook his head and said, "Actually, aren't we using them?"

The United States has been guarding against the British Empire since its founding. Although we took it first in Hawaii, the United States is now in civil strife and has no time to take care of us.

And these few years will be our rare best time to consolidate our rule here.”

Thorbek's eyes flashed suddenly, revealing a scorching light, and tentatively said to William IV: "Your Majesty, is your next step to blackmail Denmark?"

"Why is Denmark?" William IV looked at Tolbek with a smile.

In the Dutch cabinet, it seems that the one who knows him best is his father William III's old opponent.

Sure enough, there is an old man in the family who has a treasure. Although this Thorbek has a thorn, he has to see who it is. He has conquered him, but now he is very easy to use.

Hesbet Feng was stunned at first. He was not a foreign minister, and he soon thought of a possibility.

"His Majesty took the Alaska Peninsula and the Alexandria from the Tsarist Empire, laying the foundation for us to have a large rear in the northeastern Pacific.

It was the first time that we had our territory in North America. This was the case that Viscount Palmerston didn't know that he promised His Majesty to trade more than half of Canada's territory, and the west and north were all taken over by His Majesty.

Especially when His Majesty was talking casually, he gave the Arctic Islands to His Majesty. Hehe, he absolutely thought that even if the Netherlands took this place, it would be sandwiched by the British Empire and Tsarist Russia, and could not move. But he didn't know that His Majesty had already taken Alaska and was already facing Tsarist Russia across the Bering Strait. If he knew this, he would never let us be so relaxed, or to build a territory for ourselves that we could be able to move forward and retreat.

As these seemingly desolate and cold places fall into the hands of the Netherlands, as long as the Netherlands manages properly next, within ten years, the vision will be expected of the Holland after the integration.

From Baffin Bay, to Davis Strait, and then to Hudson Bay, the Netherlands instantly opened the estuary of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. If a waterway is found, then you can sail northwest from the Davis Strait or the Baffin Bay on Baffin Island, and finally reach the Arctic Ocean and enter the Pacific Ocean from the Bering Strait.

It will be a strategic route that can change the situation of war, especially for the fleet.

It is very important for the Netherlands. After all, in the current situation, the Netherlands is having a dispute with the United States in Hawaiian Islands and is in conflict with the British Empire in Belgium. If these two countries block the Dutch waterway, it will be difficult for the Netherlands to maintain smooth ties with East India."

The Netherlands is home to the Netherlands, West and North Canada, Hawaiian Islands, New Guinea Islands, South Pacific Islands, East Indies and West Asian Islands, and the north and south Suriname Guyana, etc. These are the current territory of the Netherlands.

"The Netherlands has only so many populations, and so many territories have become the limit of the Netherlands' population. Your Majesty, why did you just come up with the British Empire to buy Queensland, Australia, and even offer a price that is twice as high as the Alaska Peninsula."

Naturally, you think that Queensland, which is still deserted, is worse than Alaska.

William IV knows that many people now have the same view.

“The temperature in Queensland is very suitable for growing crops, and although the local harvest is good, East India and New Guinea Island are not as good as that.

Queensland will be the largest granary for our future development and population growth. Moreover, the British Empire has not noticed the coal mines in Queensland, and the coal mines there are actually rich coal resources.

There is also the Northern Territory, which seems to be deserted, but the information I received was that there were a large amount of iron and aluminum ore stored there, which for us would be the source of rapid industrialization in East India and New Guinea.

These are untapped resources. The most important thing is that all this is when the British Empire did not pay attention to Australia. Even if they pay attention, they only focus on Victoria and Sydney and Melbourne in the south.

Going back to the topic just now, according to the secret reports I received, the combination of Bismarck and William I has been not very at ease recently, especially when they see that we are gaining more and more territory in the Pacific, it would be strange if they are not moved.

As a powerful country, the shortcomings of the navy are the pain of the Kingdom of Prussia. Therefore, secret security shows that the Kingdom of Prussia is preparing to attack Denmark in the near future.

"ah"

The two of them looked at William IV incredibly and started to do it?

This word is spoken by His Majesty, which means it is not simply a toothpick type, but shows that Prussia is going to take serious action against Denmark?

But it is true to think about it. Denmark blocked Prussia's journey westward. Although Hannover was pro-Prussian, it was under the jurisdiction of the same king as the British Empire before 1837. However, the Kingdom of Hannover was passed down by men but not women. Queen Victoria's ascension to the throne made the Kingdom of Hannover stand on its own.

William IV thought to himself: Frederick VII is also having a headache, because his lack of a descendant has created a brewing storm that will eventually bring war to Denmark.

The Pundan War of 1863!

This day is the first battle to start the rise of the Prussian Kingdom's rise to the empire. The Netherlands must consider how to get the most benefits from it, otherwise, it would be a waste of his prophet's resources.

William IV suddenly said intimately: I don’t know, Prince Christian, my old acquaintance, do you still remember the promise from 5 years ago?

.........

William IV said it right. Frederick VII, who is now suffering from a serious illness, is worried about this.
