Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Chapter 346 Prussia’s trump card force: the Light Faction

"A war between Prussia and the Netherlands?" Crown Prince Frederick asked dissatisfiedly: "Does the Prime Minister think that Prussia has integrated with the surrounding German Confederation and is acting like a small country? So it has enough energy to take action against the Netherlands?"

"No, my Crown Prince, you may not have heard clearly. I meant a fight, not a war."

William I was calm, Frederick was stunned, and little Prince William was curious.

Bismarck saw the expressions of several people from three generations.

He explained: "I do not feel that a war in Prussia is in our interests now"

"In that case, what does the Prime Minister's fight mean?"

Frederick's question again made William I look sideways, and little William nodded in agreement.

Bismarck said indifferently: "The rise of the Netherlands is too fast, which is not good news for Prussia. I think the crown prince should agree."

Frederick wanted to refute, but he had to admit that the Netherlands' rise was too fast and too fierce. If it only reached the level of Spain, then forget it. However, the Netherlands' national strength is obviously only about half of Spain's, but its economic strength is Far surpassing Spain, its science and technology are even comparable to those of Britain and France, and above Prussia and America. Especially in terms of industrial development, it is enough to challenge Britain's superpower status.

In terms of military affairs, as hundreds of thousands of Boers in South Africa, who suffered heavy losses from the British, collectively joined the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the return of this Dutch remnant with all the people in arms allowed the Dutch military capabilities, which were already not weak, to enter the ranks of European powers.

You must know that in order to deal with the Boers, the British mobilized more than 300,000 British troops and lost nearly 100,000 troops. Although they finally gained a slight upper hand, the final victory was won only when the Dutch Boers took the initiative to withdraw from South Africa.

The British Army was severely weakened by this, and even had to tighten its operations in India. Later, in North America, it could only watch the Confederate States of America defeat the Confederate States of Southern America that they supported, and even had to admit that in the end Relations between the two countries eased after the Confederacy seized control of British Columbia.

The reason why Britain stood up to oppose the Dutch policy towards France this time was actually a small revenge after the Netherlands caused harm to Britain in South Africa.

The Netherlands could cause Britain to suffer such a big loss, how could Prussia not be wary of the other side?

Frederick asked again: "Even so, with Prussia surrounded by powerful enemies, it seems that now is not a good time to take action?"

Little William nodded repeatedly in agreement with his father Frederick's statement.

"Whether it's a good time or not, the Crown Prince may not have the final say," Bismarck continued, before Frederick could retort: ​​"Because, that's what the Netherlands and the international situation have the final say on."

Bismarck said seriously to William I: "Your Majesty, the Netherlands has stirred up the situation in Europe now. It is like a tornado. Whatever it rolls up will be pulled into it. If it enters it, it may be shattered to pieces, but if it does not enter it, it may be broken into pieces. It will be a lonely remnant. This can be seen from the multiple organizations launched by the Netherlands, and countries have chosen to join."

"This is indeed true. Since the Netherlands established major organizations, small countries have joined them one after another. However, the big countries are unwilling to coexist equally with small countries because of their reputation. The Netherlands has indeed provided these small countries with a platform to showcase themselves. It seems to provide these countries with a platform to compete with major powers on the international stage. However, this also harms major powers."

William I praised: "But despite this, the Netherlands has established a dominant position as the leader of the alliance among small and medium-sized countries."

William I had been with Bismarck for many years. How could he not know Bismarck's thoughts?

Little William's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Grandpa, what do you mean, the prime minister is concerned about Holland's ability to form gangs?"

Crown Prince Frederick also nodded secretly. It must be said that the Netherlands' ability to create new organizations is indeed amazing.

“The workers’ strikes caused by the International Society of the Red Cross, the International Federation of Women’s Associations, the International Court of Justice at The Hague, and the recent antitrust actions that have caused uproar throughout the Western world evolved into the International Labor Union founded by the Dutch.”

Bismarck praised: "Every organization created by the Netherlands will cause a sensation in the world. Shouldn't Prussia be wary of such convincing creativity in world organizations?"

Having said this, Bismarck turned his eyes to Crown Prince Frederick and said with great seriousness: "What's more, our current competition with the Netherlands is just a literary fight between agents, but it is far inferior to the real one." Practical work with real swords and guns”

Literary fight? agent?

Crown Prince Frederick and others immediately thought of the fight between Germans and Dutch in the American Commonwealth of America.

At this time, William I interjected: "The Netherlands suddenly gained support from all the major ethnic groups in North America. Frederick, have you investigated clearly what caused it? I don't believe that the Netherlands can have such great appeal. Countries They are all supporting them behind the scenes. If that were the case, there would have been no Germans there, and the situation in Europe would not even be so peaceful."

Bismarck's face suddenly changed slightly when he heard this. After a long time, he said: "The Netherlands seems to have received the support of the Bilderburg Society. According to the news passed by my friend Secretary Seward, the Bilderburg Society suddenly sent all The members of the Federal Republic of America were summoned to order. A member meeting was recently held in New York. Although the content is unknown, since then, many congressmen, businessmen, capitalists and even senior military officials of the Federal Republic of America have stood up to the Netherlands. aside"

"Even" Bismarck exclaimed: "It is said that several Irish and German congressmen chose to either abstain from voting or support Vice President Andrew's proposal. The power of the Bilderberg Society is really amazing."

Crown Prince Frederick's expression changed. He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said: "I heard from Crown Princess Victoria in the Bilderberg Society. According to her, when she was an informal secretary to Queen Victoria before she was married, she was the King of England's King of England. In the archives room, I saw an introduction to the organization of the Bilderburg Society."

The expressions of Bismarck and William I changed drastically. This was the first time Bismarck had become mentally unbalanced since he became prime minister in 1861.

He didn't care about anything else and cast a questioning look at Crown Prince Frederick.

William I even asked directly: "What did Victoria say?"

Little William also said: "Mother actually knows? How come I haven't heard of it?"

Crown Prince Frederick directly ignored William's question and said: "She said that this organization was founded in the Bilderburg Hotel in the Netherlands in 1857, and the leader was a small capitalist named Andy. Victoria seemed to have said that in the British archives, It is said that Andy's people are funded by the Dutch royal family. In terms of specifics, this file is not very detailed. Apparently the organization is so tight that it is difficult for Queen Victoria's intelligence officers to sneak into it."

Dutch royal family?

Wilhelm I and Bismarck looked at each other.

The latter said: "Sure enough, an organization supported by the Netherlands?"

Crown Prince Frederick asked hurriedly: "The Bilderburg Society is powerful and secretive. What should we do?"

After seeing William I nodded, Bismarck said arrogantly: "The British have the Freemasonry, the Netherlands also has the Bilderburg Society, and we in Prussia naturally have our own secret forces. Since everyone likes this, Then, it’s time for us, the Prussian Illuminati, to surface and fight against them.”
