Chapter 271

Immediately after that, Queen Victoria was next to Joseph I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he still accepted William I and squeezed out the position that should have belonged to him.

Opposite then are Christian IX of the Netherlands and his foreign minister, Mek.

William IV and Heisbert Von are on the short side of the long oval table, opposite Karl XV.

This is how the status of the Germanic royal families began.

William IV secretly said: Sure enough, no matter where you go, only those with strong fists will be respected by others.

Carl XV cleared his throat with a fake cough and said, "First of all, thank you for coming to Sweden. It is an honor for Sweden and you."

Charles XV said with a dignified expression: "Nowadays, the living environment of the Germanic people has undergone tremendous changes, especially the countries that are ruled by your majesty here have large and small colonies or territories overseas."

When Joseph I heard this, he squinted at William I with dissatisfaction. Nigeria was extorted by half of the Russian Empire, and there is "credit" from Prussia.

"If Prussia hadn't started the war first, and even occupied Galicia, giving the Tsarist Russian Empire an opportunity, the Austrian Empire would not have become what it is now."

Thinking of this, his dissatisfaction with Prussia accumulated more and more deeply.

However, he also knew that power is stronger than man. Now that Prussia has achieved the general trend, Austria has fallen, relying on the Hungarians (also known as Magyars) to agree to merge into a dual state (that is, two countries, two governments, two Parliament, a joint emperor, in fact, Sweden at this time is similar, but the Swedes conquered Norway by force, and Joseph I did it by painting a pie).

Carl Fifteen said: "Everyone, today's summit is about the prosperity and decline of the Germanic nation. You can speak freely. Why don't we do this? Let's start with the youngest, His Majesty William IV. Bar"

William IV glanced at Carl XV unexpectedly, everyone guessed that William IV obviously did not know about this, and was attacked by Carl XV.

In this regard, everyone is interested in the 26-year-old Dutch king.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that many people have met face to face, and they can "look at" this William IV who has been in the limelight in recent years.

Sweden Radway looked at William IV very carefully, and secretly said: How many pounds and how many taels, we will see later.

Prime Minister Bismarck of Prussia: I heard that books can be ghostwritten and works can be plagiarized, but this face-to-face chat is difficult to cover up weaknesses. We will see later, what is the style of William IV's speech, emphasis and weakness? For future Prussia...

The Danish foreign minister also watched secretly at the "uncle" of the Danish royal family, watching Christian IX's hand shaking with a teacup next to him, he also followed and worried about William IV: I hope William IV Your Majesty can get through the "difficulties".

Russell next to Queen Victoria squinted slightly and seemed to be dozing off, but it was not revealing, but it made people dare not look down on him. This was an old man who was more than 20 years older than Karl XV.

Who dares to ignore it!

William IV does not seem to know that he has become the focus of everyone, let alone a thousand thoughts of individuals.

With the vigor of 26 years old and the majesty of the king for 5 years, he said: "The rise and fall of the Germanic nation is closely related to everyone here."

The beginning was normal, but it was normal.

"The Latin people in southern Europe are huge, not to mention the French Empire, the strength of the newly built Kingdom of Italy should not be underestimated, and Emmanuel II's ambitions are not small.

The Kingdom of Portugal, where his son-in-law Louis I lives, is the same as Brazil. Although Brazil opposes Spanish colonial rule in South America, it is also afraid that Portugal will interfere too much in Brazil. The fact that King II was a direct line of Portugal, and continued ally with Portugal. "

But when William IV said this, everyone present showed a different mind,

They have reason to suspect that William IV seems to want to bring the situation in South America into this meeting and get countries to agree with the Netherlands for Argentina's support."

Therefore, most of the people present did not care, and they have made up their minds to wait for William IV's proposal, and they will find an excuse to refuse. Joseph I, in particular, has given up the thought of thinking and directly denied it in his heart.

William IV continued on this topic: "Because of the resonant relationship between Portugal and Brazil, no matter how many Portuguese colonies are, all countries turn a blind eye, obviously not wanting to offend each other.

Not to mention Spain, its footprints in the Americas are all over the place, and in the Pacific there are even the Philippine Islands, and the four countries of the Latins are very threatening to us Germans. Almost **** of Europe is still fresh in everyone's memory, so the Latins are the most powerful enemies of our Germans"

The words of William IV made them feel even more that the purpose of William IV was to make countries hostile to Brazil and Portugal, and ultimately the Netherlands would profit~www.mtlnovel.com~ But, is that really the case?

Speaking of which, William IV gave Queen Victoria and William I a dignified look, and then said shockingly: "Latins have developed long ago, and they can be called the most developed status area in Europe before. The most developed region in Europe, where the Roman Empire was born.

After all, we are the latecomers.

We have to completely overwhelm the Latins in southern Europe, so that the Germans can completely dominate the continent, and even the rest of the world."

"Speaking of this"

William IV looked around the crowd and said, "The financial center of the Netherlands has driven the development of the entire Germanic people in the 17th and 18th centuries. In particular, the Dutch East India Company has promoted the entire Germanic countries. You will not deny this."

William IV set his sights on Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria said: "Naturally, the UK is very grateful to the Netherlands for driving the UK's industrial development, and it also allowed the UK to learn valuable financial technology from Amsterdam. The historical status of the Netherlands is indelible."

Even Queen Victoria, the British Queen who defeated the Netherlands at the time, said so, and other countries will not object to William IV's statement.

William IV continued with satisfaction, ""Amsterdam has been in power for a long time now, but London is a fast-rising top city. Berlin and Vienna are even comparable to Paris. These four cities have moved Europe's former Mediterranean center of gravity northward.

To put it bluntly, it is the protagonists of Europe and the world that are now ruled by our Germans.

However, if it develops too fast, it will attract jealousy. Britain in North America was swayed by France and helped by Spain, which eventually made the North American colonies independent and became the United States of America, and the British power was greatly damaged. I believe Queen Victoria will not object to this."
