“As for the Netherlands”

"The situation in this country is actually very embarrassing. They have been repeatedly hit by the British at sea, and coupled with the constraints of the British Navigation Ordinance, there are basically no naval forces in their homeland. Once they secretly add naval ships, they will definitely be in the first place.

It was attacked by the British Navy for a time”

"And on land, they are far from the opponent of the French"

"In addition, since its founding, the Netherlands has determined that the trade-oriented national system has been established. The industry is not developed. In the past, it was able to vigorously implement shuttle trade around the world. However, with the increase in the strength of the naval power of various countries and the increase in ocean-going ships,

It is also constantly replacing the Dutch”

"Although the Dutch still has the largest number of ocean-going ships, it is already much worse than that in terms of share. It is because the Dutch are in good terms with German countries and have a certain status in the Hanseatic League. Ships from some countries continue to be hung by the Netherlands.

Just a banner”

"The Dutch were closely monitored and blocked by Britain and France on the sea and land, and their national strength had been deteriorating, but this also aroused the Dutch's patriotism"

"North China is a republic system, and its leader is a hereditary consul, but the Netherlands is formed by seven provinces, each province has a parliament and a governor, and the Prime Minister's orders must be implemented in every

The parliament of individual provinces can only be passed”

"There are a large number of cities under each province, and there are parliaments in cities. Even if the consul, the Prime Minister convinced the parliaments in seven provinces. If these seven provinces want to implement them, they still need parliaments in various cities to pass them. Therefore, in addition to the United Kingdom,

France's crackdown and blockade are also a mess inside"

"In this case, it is completely impossible for them to restore their former glory. Perhaps it is for this reason that William V, the then consul, agreed to hold a secret meeting with them. If anything happens, they may not be allowed to do so.

The status will change”

"By the way, although Britain and France strongly blockade and crack down on the Netherlands, they have opened up their overseas colonies. Their main colonies in the Far East, Africa and America have not suffered any losses"

"However, in the Far East, its main colony, Batavia, was in a slump after the failure of the spice monopoly trade and the failure of the triangular monopoly trade with Japan-Qing-Europe, and in addition, it fought with Portugal for the East Indies to fight for the East Indies.

,Although I won in the end, I was also seriously injured”

"In South Africa, their immigration scale is far less than that of our country. Most of the entire South Africa has been controlled by our country. They are still trapped in Cape Town, and it is said that they are in high debt. If the geographical location is not very important, they would probably have to do it.

Give up”

"The corruption in the Dutch colonies is very serious. Of course, there are obviously too many constraints among parliaments, all kinds of people, and they have to be corrupt. The situation in each colony is getting worse and worse, but it is barely retained."

"They were able to provide place and participate, obviously in order to break free from the yokes that the British and French had put on their heads"

"In addition, the Dutch have always been in good terms with the Kingdom of Prussia, especially the Duke of Brunswick was once the regent of the Netherlands. However, due to the weak naval strength of the Kingdom of Prussia, there are still many electoral states between them and the Netherlands.

, Principality, Marquis, etc., Prussia has not yet managed to intervene in Dutch affairs."

"Over the years, Frederick of Prussia has been preparing for war, especially vigorously developing the military industry. According to our intelligence, the country is at least comparable to ours in terms of army artillery density, although the intensity and types are still somewhat different.

, but it is already the highest in Europe in terms of quantity”

"In addition, his industrial products are very popular in German countries, which led to his financial resources once again jumping above German countries, and are even greater than Austria, which looks the most powerful on the surface. Compared with Prussia, Austria still likes the traditional feudal structure.

Manor system, does not pay attention to industry”

"With financial support, Frederick has once again owned a standing army of 200,000"

"But this time he is willing to join the European countries, obviously he will not come to us alone. The connection with the Netherlands is probably also under his secret planning. His targets are mostly Hanover's electorate and Austria

Principality of Erdenburg”

"Once these two countries are taken down, Prussia will face the Atlantic Ocean and thus lay the foundation for its maritime strategy"

"Also, although the British also participated, this country is a big island country and has always adhered to the strategy of suppressing the mainland's power. The strongest one is obviously France. Therefore, although they also participated, it is obviously not completely

One heart”

"What's more, he was trapped in the North American war, and his financial, material and manpower were invested there in a large amount of money, material and manpower. At present, the winner has not been decided. It is really suspicious to join the war against our country. You must know that our country is the only one who has made a major contribution to its coastline.

The Kingdom of Strike”

"No continental European country has ever done it for thousands of years, so there is also a chance here. It is possible that the country is going to be buried in it and continue to play the role of a messenger."

"As for Spain, Austria, and Russia, there is no need to say it"

Qitade nodded, "Deng Ce, is there any movement in these three countries?"

"Your Majesty, Russia has obviously learned the lessons from the previous few times. Although they have the largest army in Europe nowadays, there are still only three legions in the border facing our country, one of which is Tula, located north of Voronezh.

One is arranged in Kazan and the other is arranged in Belarus”

"Each legion has about 100,000 people, and the whole Siberia has only one army, about 50,000 people"

"But there is a vast black forest between Tula and Moscow, which is too big. If there are heavy troops hidden, it is difficult to discover it as soon as possible"

"But according to the country's financial resources and the St. Petersburg Legion, the regular army is basically the same, and then there are a large number of serf soldiers, which require temporary relocation"

"We will not know whenever the order to mobilize troops is issued"

"After gaining part of the land of the former Ottoman Empire, and with the lessons learned from the Ottoman, the control of Bohemia, Hungary and Southern Europe has been strengthened, and the financial resources have increased instead of decreasing. Now they have pieced together again

A standing army of about 200,000 people was formed"

"As for Spain, it has just suffered a heavy blow from our country. Although it is also increasing its standing army, it obviously will not be achieved overnight"

"The strength of France's army cannot be underestimated. I estimate that they are at least no less than Russia in terms of number, and their combat effectiveness may be better. Moreover, France and Spain belong to the Bourbon dynasty. If there is another war, I believe they will not

Watching on the wall”

"The situation in Britain is very complicated. Their standing army will not exceed 100,000, but their crew is large and they can temporarily recruit a large number of mercenaries. However, because our country has a maritime advantage, they want to send troops to the European continent.

Come on, it depends on whether we agree or not”

It is said that by the end of last year, a new five-year rotation was required for the important officials of each department, but Qitad did not start this matter immediately. It seems that he had discovered something. Before the crisis was lifted, he still maintained the past.

The situation.

According to regulations, Bayar should go to the Military Commission to rotate.

"Tell me what you think"

As the Prime Minister of the State Council, both nominal and practical status are above all institutions, Qitad still looks at Bayar.

"Your Majesty"

Bayar seems confident.

"Your Majesty has always adhered to the principle of not having to dominate one's own family. Everyone makes money together. They did not rashly expand their territory, but adhered to the practice of taking over one place and stabilizing one place. But now it seems that it is not possible.

"

"Weichen believes that now Britain, France and the Netherlands are involved in the North American war. If a major principle can be established, we might as well take action first and intervene in this war."

"Zhang Henxue has already gained a foothold on Cuba Island. He has three squadrons there, which is enough to cope with the situation in North America, that is, the army is relatively weak, so the minister suggests that if the principles are set, one or two divisions can be transported there."

"Whether joining the British side or the French side will play a decisive role in the battle situation and then disintegrate its alliance"

"As for Austria, Prussia, Russia, our country has been on the frontier for a long time. The size of the army in Prussia and Austria cannot pose a major threat to our country. It is mainly Russia. Once all of it is mobilized, Voronesh and Kiev are very likely to face it.

Million Army”

"There are no other European countries to do this, but Russia can do it."

"As for the two Ottoman Sultanate countries, we can send someone to warn them that if they play any tricks, these two countries will no longer exist"

"At the same time, send people to the Persian Empire to show its true regent, Schacht, his intention to continue to divide the Eastern Ottoman Sultanate. Schacht had just taken power shortly and was eager to establish prestige in the country and would not ignore it."

"As for the West Ottoman Sultanate, its local properties are barren, and it depends entirely on maritime trade. Once it reverses, our country will lock its coastline and automatically paralyze it, which is irrelevant."

"One other focus is in the Netherlands, so let's say something. Once the Dutch officially intervenes in this matter, its colonies in Africa, the Far East and America will no longer exist, and its homeland is very likely to become the next Portugal"

"I guess they won't ignore this"

"Are you sure?"

"Your Majesty, not long ago, the newly established Patriot Party in the Netherlands contacted the shareholders of Bank of Amsterdam in order to enter the parliament. This shareholder happened to be one of our white gloves, so he told us the news"

"Imagine if we promise to restore the status of the Netherlands and to form an unrestrained naval and army, continue to recognize the system of its republic, formally form a civilian parliament at the national level, weaken provincial parliament, local parliament, and patriot party except

We obviously don't have a better choice"

"The Patriots are still underground, but their main members are the owners of slave ships who are now rampant in the Atlantic Ocean. The leader has personally visited Bogda not long ago"
