The Kingdom of the Netherlands is a country located on the coast of the North Sea in western Europe. Because its borders are generally low in altitude, it is also called a lowland country. During the Age of Discovery, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was once a world-class powerful country. However, industry

After the rise of the revolution, Britain, France and other countries developed rapidly, while the Netherlands declined rapidly and quickly, and the original colonies were the only Dutch Indonesia!

The underdeveloped industry in the Netherlands made the wealth seized by the Dutch Kingdom from the Dutch Indonesian colonies every year an extremely important part of the Dutch Kingdom's annual income. If the last colony was also lost, the Dutch Kingdom would probably be completely in a slump.

Now!

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy and consists of several kingdoms, with the prime minister in charge of the government affairs of the kingdom. But the king also has considerable power, not just a symbolic head of state. Since Napoleon's defeat, the Netherlands has separated.

After France's control, the Orange-Nassau dynasty began to rule the Netherlands, and the King of the Netherlands became the monarch of the Dutch Kingdom. The current king was Queen William Minna!

William Minna is the only daughter of Queen Emma of King William III and his second wife, Valdeck Pirmont. She was close to her parents in childhood, especially her father, who was 63 years old when she was born. William

King III and his first wife Queen Sophie already had three sons, but they all died early. The last time William Minna died at the age of 4. William III died on November 23, 1890, at the age of ten.

Minna succeeded to the throne, and was regent from her mother, Queen Emma, ​​to her 18th birthday in 1898.

On September 6, 1898, she officially ascended the throne in Amsterdam and became the leader of other Dutch kings. The 18-year-old Queen William Minna respected the constitutional monarchy and parliamentary system, and did not interfere with the government affairs of the kingdom. Instead, she did her best to help the development of the country.

, This made her deeply loved by the people. Now, the Kingdom of Dutch is about to lose its last colony. In such a critical situation, Queen William Minna resolutely decided to visit Germany and seek help from Germany.

Small countries like the Netherlands, sandwiched between big countries, are very dangerous if they do not receive the protection of a big country. Especially when the two major military and political groups in Europe are seriously opposed, this is even more so. The Netherlands before

The Kingdom has a relatively close relationship with Germany, but at the same time it has not alienated Britain. However, after the Allies and Allies entered an opposition, the Kingdom of the Netherlands remained neutral. To some extent, it has gradually moved away from Britain.

The Netherlands borders Germany. If it continues to fall to Britain, Germany only needs to send a powerful army to advance westward to annex the Kingdom of the Netherlands!

On July 17, 1906, Queen William Minna arrived in Potsdam. The German Crown Prince William personally welcomed the queen at the train station. In the German area, he expressed a warm welcome to the beautiful queen. However, he was heading for the worry-free

On the way to the palace, when Queen William Minna asked about the Crown Prince William’s opinion on China’s invasion of Dutch Indonesia, Crown Prince William hesitated and did not express any opinions. This made Queen William Minna’s heart sink continuously,

She realized that this trip to Germany would probably not have the result he expected!

After Queen William Minna arrived at the Palace of Worry, she was first arranged to rest in a palace. Crown William Expressway. In the evening, the German Emperor William II held a welcome banquet for the queen at the palace. After that, Crown William rushed to William II.

A place for office.

When Crown Prince William entered the office of German Emperor William II, a group of German officials had already gathered here!

"Friedrich, has the Queen settled?" Emperor William II asked after seeing the crown prince William come in.

"Father, you have settled down! However, Her Majesty the Queen seems to be in a bad mood!" said Crown Prince William!

Emperor William II nodded without answering, but instead asked everyone: "Everyone is very clear about the purpose of Queen William Minna. So, what will our German Empire take in this matter?

What's the point? Everyone should share their opinions!"

"Father, I think we should help the Netherlands. The geographical location of the Netherlands is very important. If we can bring the Netherlands into the Allies, we can threaten France directly from the north!" Crown Prince William said first. Although the Netherlands has always been

A neutral attitude, but if the Netherlands can join the allies, it will be a great help to Germany. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that Crown Prince William is unwilling to see China take a big advantage again.

Indonesia is undoubtedly a vast land. The Dutch government can earn tens of millions of pounds from Dutch Indonesia every year. If the Chinese occupy Dutch Indonesia, they will undoubtedly become stronger, which makes Prince William very jealous!

"Your Highness, you can't say that. The Netherlands' joining the Allies can certainly increase the strength of the Allies, but with the Netherlands' national strength, this is not important to Germany. There is no need for us to offend China because of the Netherlands!

The benefits that a powerful China can bring to Germany are far from comparable to that of a Netherlands. In addition, this time the Chinese entered Indonesia in the name of "protecting overseas Chinese", so we have no reason to let the Chinese leave!"

Bernhard von Bielou said that the relationship between China and Germany has finally begun to recover. If the relationship between China and Germany becomes tense again due to the Dutch relationship, it will be more than worth the loss!

"Hmph! The so-called "protecting overseas Chinese" is not just a cover. Maybe this time, the indigenous riot in Indonesia was initiated by the Chinese themselves. The Chinese have great ambitions for Dutch Indonesia, and this is not a day.

It's a God!" Crown Prince William said disdainfully.

"Friedrich! I don't want to hear this again! No matter what, China is now our ally! As an honest German, we cannot slander our ally behind this!" German Emperor William

Second generation said in a deep voice!

"Yes, Father, I understand!" Crown Prince William quickly admitted his mistake.

"Your Majesty, I also think that we cannot once again fall into tension with China because of the Dutch relationship. In the Moroccan crisis last year, China was firmly on our side. It is reasonable and we are not

It should be against China on the Indonesian issue!" Navy Minister Alfred von Tirpitz suggested that the four 'Helgolan-class' battleships built by China for Germany have long been delivered to Germany, which has led to Germany

The Navy has regained its disadvantages. Therefore, the German Navy cannot be ungrateful!

"Your Majesty, the situation in Europe is becoming more and more tense now. Although Europe has once again achieved peace after the Moroccan crisis. However, all countries have accelerated their preparations for war. The pace of war is getting closer and closer, and Germany needs China.

, We cannot make enemies with China at this time!" Chief of the General Staff Earl Alfred von Schrieffin also expressed his opinion.

Emperor William II nodded. After listening to everyone's opinions, he had an idea in his mind. If it were another country, he might not be stingy to help the Netherlands Kingdom. But now it is China who wants to swallow Indonesia.

Then William II had to consider it more. Judging from the current international situation, the possibility of a world war breaking out is already very high and almost inevitable. At this time, Germany needs China's help, otherwise it will

Being alone in a fight. Therefore, it is very necessary to sacrifice the interests of the Netherlands to win over China!

"Then, this matter is decided! The Dutch's mistake in Indonesia has seriously hurt the Chinese in Indonesia. If China takes the opportunity to annex Indonesia, there is no way. At the evening banquet,

I will personally express Germany's opinion to Queen William Minna!" said Emperor William II.

"Your Majesty, I think Germany can also serve as a bridge between the Netherlands and China, so that the two countries can reach an agreement as soon as possible," suggested Prime Minister Bernhard von Bielou.

William II nodded, and he also believed that Germany should actively play the role of mediator in this conflict between China and the Netherlands, which is very helpful for improving Germany's international status!

That night, William II held a banquet to welcome Queen William Minna at the Worry-free Palace. The upper class of Germany attended the banquet and they all paid tribute to Queen William Minna. However, some Germans wanted to

The members were sympathetic in their eyes when they looked at Queen William Minna. A small country like the Netherlands had angered China and obviously had no chance of winning. Obviously, they were no longer optimistic about whether the Netherlands could save the Netherlands.

It belongs to Indonesia. Compared with China, the Netherlands is too weak. When the Chinese catch the handle, the Netherlands has almost no chance of winning!

Queen William Minna first expressed her gratitude to Germany and the German Emperor William II, and at the same time reiterated the good relationship between the Netherlands and Germany, and hoped that Germany could stand up and uphold justice! However, her final request,

No one echoed.

After the banquet began, the atmosphere in the palace was very cheerful, but Queen William Minna was indeed worried. After rejecting the invitation to dance, Queen William Minna came to the German Emperor William II.

"His Majesty the German Emperor, the situation in the Netherlands is very threatening now. If Indonesia is lost, the Netherlands will be hit hard. I hope Germany can help the Netherlands!" Queen Wilhelmina begged.
Chapter completed!
