Chapter 82 The United Fleet Sets Sail

In the Transvaal Republic, 70% are Dutch, 15% are French, and 10% are Americans. The remaining 5% are immigrants from other European countries, including British immigrants, but they are all British like the United States.

Native prisoners.

Martinas suddenly thought of something. He raised his head suddenly, looked at Venus, and exclaimed: "Could it be that the Netherlands, Prussia, and France are planning to use immigrants from the three countries to..."

"Yes," Venus nodded, "France and Prussia have already discussed with us and are preparing to intervene in southern Africa in the name of the Three Kingdoms."

"What price do we have to pay?"

"There is no free lunch in the world. I know that many Dutch people want to return to the motherland. His Majesty William IV told us that we must unite the Dutch people all over the world to gather strength like a rope. There are now more than 1 million Dutch people in the world, including those in South Africa.

There are more than 500,000 people on our side. If we can unite you all under the Kingdom of the Netherlands, then why not worry about the Netherlands being strong and prosperous?"

Venus said this and said seriously to Martinas: "Chief, Your Majesty, I sincerely hope that you will join the Dutch revival plan to restore the Netherlands' past glory."

Before Martinas could say anything, the person next to him wanted to speak, but this time, Martinas stopped him. It seemed that for the first time he was seriously looking at the Dutch persuasive envoy in front of him.

"What can I get?"

"Naturally, you will not be indebted to those who are loyal to your Majesty and have made great contributions to the Netherlands. Your Majesty said that if you are willing to lead the Transvaal Republic to join the Kingdom of the Netherlands, then the leader will be the Second Minister of Army of the Netherlands, and you will also get

The hereditary title of baronet."

"Where's the Orange Free State Republic?"

"I have agreed to return to the Kingdom of the Netherlands and accept His Majesty's rule in return."

Nader showed shock and looked at Venus in disbelief.

Oh, Orange has unknowingly thrown itself into the arms of the Kingdom of the Netherlands?

Martinas closed his eyes, and after a moment, said: "I agreed."

"Führer"

Martinas stopped Nader and said: "I have made up my mind. Returning to the Netherlands has been our family's dream for generations. Now that the dream is about to come true, why should you stop it?"

Nader was silent, but from an angle that Martinas standing beside him could not see, Nader showed Venus an invitation to complete the task. After receiving Venus's nod, the former also showed his face.

smiled.

April 3, 1862.

The foreign ministries of France, Prussia and the Netherlands simultaneously called on the UK to exercise restraint on the South African issue, and also asked the UK to protect their lives and property when dealing with ethnic groups from the three countries.

The three countries called on the United Kingdom, the Republic of Transvaal, the Republic of the Orange Free State and the Kingdom of Zulu to engage in serious negotiations and resolve the dispute peacefully.

The three countries also expressed concerns about the security of ethnic groups in each country.

On the second day,

London responded. The British Foreign Office expressed dissatisfaction with the three countries' interference in South African affairs, and claimed that the three countries were interfering in Britain's internal affairs. The United Kingdom retained its opposition to the three countries, but did not want the three countries to annoy the British people again. The British Foreign Office

It also lists the number of British people killed in South Africa, as well as the cries of the people of London and even the entire British people, and the public dissatisfaction with those countries in South Africa.

Immediately, many people were surprised that they did not see the response from the Three Kingdoms on April 5, 1862.

The Three Kingdoms retreated?

Many people speculated this way, but they quickly gave up such thoughts.

Because on April 6, the answer came.

"Newspapers are being sold, newspapers are being sold, big news, world chaos is about to begin. Come and buy a newspaper. You will never be able to watch the world again. This is called sitting and watching the world. This is the treatment of leaders of various countries. Selling newspapers

Newspapers are being sold. Come and take a look. Prussia, France, and the Netherlands have formed a joint navy and army peacekeeping force. They will set off for South Africa to compete with the British for territory..."

London, Paris, Rome, Vienna, Madrid, Lisbon, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, St. Petersburg, New York, etc., amidst the sound of newsboys in the world, the world was silent, because no one could predict the emergence of this news

, how the world will develop, the situation has never been so turbid.

On April 6, 1862, a report in the world-renowned "European Times" shocked the world as newsboys from all over the world shouted to sell newspapers.

According to the headline of this newspaper, yesterday, in the morning of 1862, in the port of Rotterdam, Prussia, France and the Netherlands formed a huge fleet (including a first-class sailing battleship provided by each country, a total of three and

The other 3 ships (composed of 9 battleships of other classes, totaling 12 battleships) suddenly appeared outside the port of Rotterdam for a commissioning ceremony. The Prussian and French ambassadors to the Netherlands, Decibel, attended the ceremony.

Dutch Foreign Minister Hesbert von H and Dutch Navy Minister Jan Peter Z presided over the ceremony as the highest-ranking officials of the Netherlands. Afterwards, the fleet began its voyage, accompanied by more than 4 people in addition to the fleet.

In addition to thousands of people, there were also transport ships transporting armies from various countries accompanying them.

It is said that the army is large in size and it is conservatively estimated that it will not be less than 10,000 people.

Combined with the recent exchanges between the three countries, many people have speculated that the three countries are retaliating against the United Kingdom.

Many people in the UK have even begun to panic, thinking whether they will drive directly to London when crossing the English Channel, block London's seaport, and fire cannons to demonstrate from time to time. Will the three countries even directly land in the UK?

Even in London, some students protested against the actions of the Three Kingdoms, and some protested against the weakness of the British military.

Incompetent, it will only bully its own people and some weak colonies such as the Indian subcontinent. Some people protested against the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The foreign exchanges with Britain failed, and the three countries formed an alliance to deal with Britain.

In short, the current British government was in an even more difficult situation after being overwhelmed by South Africa before. The whole people were confused by this message and formed a storm that attacked the rulers.

At the same time, newspapers and periodicals reported in other countries in Europe and America, and people who were very concerned about everything in the Three Kingdoms and the United Kingdom quickly spread the news one by one, and soon the news spread throughout the countries.
