Chapter 48 Global shock! Hiring the Tsarist Russian Navy as a thug?
He was the last monarch of the Oldenburg dynasty and the last ruling Denmark king.
During his tenure, the Danish Constitution was born in 1849, and since then Denmark has become a constitutional monarchy.
During his reign, Schleswig and Holstein, two autonomous regions in southern Denmark, had a Pdan War with Denmark in 1852 because of his request to join the German Confederacy. He once tried to get Holstein to join the German Confederacy, and Denmark merged Schleswig, but there had been agreements within the two public relations, and they were inseparable agreements.
Therefore, in the 1852 war between Damp, under the mediation of the nations, he barely saved these two principalities.
But now Prussia is increasingly unscrupulous in interfering in Danish internal affairs.
He even publicly declared that he did not recognize the ownership of the two principalities, and that their future direction was up to them to decide. The Kingdom of Denmark could not make a final conclusion on their ownership.
This is the public statement made by Prussian Prime Minister Bismarck himself to the German newspaper The Rheinzanne, and it is also the latest statement of the country on Prussia's status on the two principalities.
That's not bad!
He was already slow to react and fell ill in an instant. However, when he woke up and was about to complain about Prussia as soon as possible, Prussia had a soft and tough attitude, saying that Denmark wanted Prussia to continue to support Denmark in the jurisdiction of these two principalities, but Prussia did not agree with the candidates determined by Frederick VIII in the heir to the Danish king.
The controversy is mainly about who inherited the Danish throne, Schleswig and Holstein's German Confederate people, and generally choose descendants of the Augustenberg family.
However, the Danes in these two places believed that they had too close ties with the German Confederate countries and supported the opposite Grüxburgh family, which was the heir called by Frederick VIII, who was now called by King Frederick VIII to the side.
Oppose support for the Ostengburger family members to inherit the throne of the Danish king.
"Prussia is too much, and it dares to intervene within us. It doesn't take the rules of interactions between countries seriously."
"If you have the strength, you can do the same thing, but do we have it?"
Frederick VIII lay on the head of the bed, beside him Prince Christian, his elder sister's daughter, husband, and his niece.
Without a descendant, he could only use this to maintain the continued sustainability of the Kingdom of Denmark.
Frederick VIII was just complaining about the provocation that came in Prussia.
Prince Christian next to him was often threading needles, tied the relationship between the two even more together.
Looking at Frederick VIII, Prince Christian was wandering around because he was scared.
I was shocked by that person, and everything seemed to move forward as he said to me. Even the words he used to joke about back then have now truly confirmed the position of Denmark's supposed heir.
He was William IV of the Netherlands Kingdom. They met when he was the heir to Schleswig and Dukes Holstein. At that time, William was just Crown Prince William.
Now five years have passed, and the identities of both of them have undergone shocking changes.
Suddenly, he was extremely frightened because he remembered that he had made a promise to this joke that if one day he really became the king of Denmark, he would be willing to give Denmark's overseas territories Iceland and Greenland to William to show that Denmark under his leadership would follow the Dutch horse and advance and retreat together.
"Oops"
He couldn't help but say it.
Frederick VIII frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
""Nothing, nothing, it's just your Majesty, I think we have forgotten it? In fact, we are not alone. Like last time, we can actually be foreign players."
"There is no such simple thing, foreign aid, foreign aid, do you think you don't need gold coins? Let me tell you, the king seems to be glorious, but in fact he is tired. In the first half of this year, the British Empire and Spain intervened?"
"Of course, this is the current situation that is reporting progress every day. The European Times is updating every day. According to reports, the British Empire and Spain voluntarily began to expose their withdrawal today and no longer interfere in the civil war in the United States."
"Hmph, what is voluntary? It's just a gild on your face. Let me tell you, that's because the United States has paid 3 million US dollars.
The Russian Empire's Navy was invited to send troops in Vladivostok in the Pacific, and sent only a few warships to warn the British Empire and Spain in the name of visiting, and used this to show that Tsarist Russia has close ties with the United States.
Hum, maybe I was afraid that the effect would not be good, Tsarist Russia also sent warships to New York in the Atlantic Ocean. This is why it suppressed the two countries and triggered the retreat of the two countries. Hum."
Frederick VIII said disdainfully.
After saying that, he extended the secret report he had just received to Christian IX, and saw that it was written from Tsarist Russia, St. Petersburg.
Prince Christian is not a new political rookie. With the encrypted copywriting, he knows that this is the latest news intercepted by Danish intelligence agencies.
He hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be shocked, "How dare the Tsarist Russian Empire?"
"What's there to be afraid of? For money, the Tsarist Russian Empire is now short of money. It's really money. Cough cough. I didn't expect that the Americans actually thought of hiring one of the most powerful troops in the world as thugs. It's really a big deal. I understand? Now, do you still believe that they voluntarily withdrew?
....”
In fact, it is indeed as he said.
On February 19, 1862, just as William IV received honorary guests from all over the world in Amsterdam and was holding his Privy Council meeting without stopping, the whole world was shocked by news from one side. This news came from somewhere, but it instantly overshadowed the focus of the European royal marriage conference because it was so shocking.
When the news reached William IV, who was holding the Privy Council meeting, it was already 18:00 p.m.
William IV just made a mysterious sentence "It finally started", and then Mark Lude told everyone about the Netherlands' participation in the fight against Britain and aid to the United States.
It turned out that since the Civil War in 1861, European kings sent troops to the Americas to split the United States, and they were unable to lose all their means, which made the northern American government busy and exhausted. However, President Lincoln, Secretary of State Siwald and others were not scared to have their legs and pants, or fled directly with their bags.
Instead, choose to calm down and think of countermeasures.
In the end, President Lincoln thought that the enemy's enemy was a friend of the United States. Lincoln just started asking for help, but the United States had no allies.
He couldn't help but sigh at the limitations of Monroeism, which caused the current situation of the United States. So he thought of the French Empire that helped the United States to be independent. The relationship between the other party and the United States was still a traditional partner, but it still could not reach allies, but it was also considered a good relationship.
So an invitation was sent.
However, France is now obsessed with Mexico. Mexico is on the other side of the United States and its geographical location is very important for the United States' homeland security.
What Lincoln did not expect was that France was willing to help, but had conditions. In the reply, Napoleon III asked the United States to pay a certain price. The United States must agree with France's actions in Mexico and selectively assisted. It was not until the candidate who was completely supported by Mexico in France that the contract was terminated after becoming the emperor of Mexico.
Without even reading it, Lincoln threw the reply message directly into the fire and turned into ashes.
In fact, France had no intention of helping the United States. The next day the British Empire sent a letter urging the United States not to waste all its efforts, but to peacefully resolve the demands of the southern planters and restore the previous order of the United States.
At this point, I still don’t understand that the two countries are already colluding enough.
At this time, just when Lincoln was at a loss and Secretary of State Seward was also at a loss, Lincoln's close political allies, Chairman of the Congressional Trade and Appropriations Committee Elihue B. Washburn, Waschburn, stood up.
Unexpectedly, he mentioned the Tsarist Russian Empire and made some careful plans with several people on the spot. He sent Lincoln's envoy to St. Petersburg and sent a letter of help to Tsar Alexander II.
Tsar Alexander II was also an ambitious person. After considering all parties, the Russian fleet of the Tsarist Russians left the port from St. Petersburg without declaring war and arrived at the port of New York on February 18, 1862. Their appearance caused the hesitation of Britain, Spain and France.
At the same time, Riben discovered that for some reason, the northern Western power Tsarist Russia deployed a fleet in Vladivostok and suddenly left the port and drove eastward. He was shocked. The emperor of Meiji thought he was going to attack Ri's country, so he almost had to flee. Fortunately, this huge fleet was far away from Ri's country.
It drove towards the Pacific Ocean deep in the east. It was not until outside San Francisco on the western coast of the United States that they received news from the newspaper a few days later, which made them seize the news among the people for a few days, and they all cursed that Tsarist Russia was doing nothing and making frightening actions.
Fortunately, there is no fear of someone revealing Alexander II, otherwise, the island country would have been floating thousands of miles on the sea.
However, it is not known whether it was a coincidence or a pre-exercise. When the Tsarist Russian Navy arrived in San Francisco on the west coast, a Dutch naval fleet composed of eight ships also arrived in San Francisco at the same time. Even under the eyes of the spies of the British Empire, the two fleets merged and trained. This is too obvious. In addition, the 8 Dutch 8 total warships were here to support the United States.
At this moment, the Spanish fleet in the Pacific immediately retreated southward and retreated directly to Cuba in one breath.
The French fleet also retreated to the port of Mazatlan, Mazatlan, in Mexico.
In the east, with the arrival of Tsarist Russian navy in New York Port, Britain, France and the three countries hesitated for a short time and chose to leave.
They left, but they also took away the news of Tsarist Russia and the Netherlands supporting the United States, sweeping the world like a storm.
The United States hired the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy for US$7.5 million!
"This is the headlines of newspapers from all over the world tomorrow," William IV looked at all members of the Privy Council and said, "This is a memorable day, because from then on, the Dutch Navy will return to the past 17th century, traveling in major seas around the world to protect our interests."
Speaking of this, William IV nodded to the Prime Minister. Everyone's hearts were tight in the conference room because they knew that except for special circumstances, the Privy Council meeting was held every week. Today, according to the news received in advance, Your Majesty will announce the always huge and strict Dutch national governance plan, which involves all the Dutch administrative departments and everyone here is linked to this plan. According to Your Majesty, everyone has work to do...
(ps: Chapter 2, Chapter 3414, the following are not counted in terms of word count, and basically maintain more than 6,000 words every day.
Some book friends have reported that many of the data in this book have not been clearly displayed since the beginning, so it seems that the country in the Netherlands is not so complete and pale. In fact, this is a good reminder, thank you here.
So after thinking about it, I had some ideas and the next chapter will be announced.
Today is Monday, currently ranked 7th on all new history books in history. This book is currently the only foreign historical novel (I read the top 50). Today's strong recommendation in history is also ranked 7th, and the new history books in the QQ reading client are ranked 12th.
Maybe because the name is too long and only half of it is seen, it affects the visual effect, so the recommendation tickets and collections cannot keep up, so everyone's support is even more needed.
All foreign history lists rank 22 (I want to say, are foreign historical novels really niche to this level?
There are sorrows and joys!
What is happy is that the ranking is high, what is sad is that this shows that there are too few people who write foreign historical novels and there are few competitions, so the ranking can quickly jump in this list, but in the total list of all types of novels, it is beaten and slammed. After saying so much, I actually want to say that foreign history is not easy, and writing books is really not easy. If you like it, you can vote for each other. It is really a shortage of all kinds of tickets in your hands.)

Chapter completed!
