"Your Majesty is really good at talking, which makes people very comfortable to listen to, thank you Your Majesty for your compliment."
Queen Emma smiled and kissed each of the emperor's faces.Hua Huang smiled and felt Queen Emma's pink cheeks, and said secretly, What a good flower-like beauty, what are you doing when you marry an old man who is more than forty years older Hua Huang seems to like talking to the young queen very much, and Queen Maria Cristina of Spain is like this, and Queen Emma of the Netherlands is also like this.And Emperor Hua's politeness also made Queen Emma feel very comfortable, because she was unanimously opposed by the Congress and the aristocratic society, which made her a person from a small country princess very statusless, and even looked down upon, no matter how small Emperor Hua was, it was also the monarch of a big country, and the more polite and thoughtful Emperor Hua was to her, the more Queen Emma felt respected.William III took Queen Emma and a group of ministers to entertain the Emperor at the Reichstag.The Reichstag is the imposing "Cabinet", the residence of the Dutch counts in the 13th century, as well as the political center and seat of government in the Netherlands.The mansion is located in the oldest part of the city.In the center of the Houses of Parliament is the beautiful Knights' Hall.Elaborate interiors with provincial flags and stained glass windows depicting Dutch cities were used for the opening of the Parliament, official receptions and internal meetings of the Parliament."
Your Majesty, please."
William III greeted the Emperor warmly.Hua Huang smiled slightly, "Okay." ”In fact, both people probably know what the other person thinks.The Netherlands has Indonesia, in fact, it is not of much use, finding a way to get money is the last word, the development of China, the business opportunities of the entire Pacific Ocean depend on China, as long as China can let the Netherlands receive more benefits, it is possible to let Indonesia play a role, otherwise what is the use of such a large overseas island Therefore, Indonesia's significance to China is far better than that of the Netherlands.If China can allocate a piece of land to the Netherlands, as long as it is located near the sea in East China, such as a small island like Macao, the significance to the Netherlands is better than that of Indonesia, and the great powers do not want land, especially for a small country like the Netherlands, with such a small population, they can't really give them an Australia, unless they are like the current Britain, there is a strong navy as a deterrent, and the Dutch navy has long been unable to support their ocean-going hegemony.The Dutch navy is only slightly better than that of China, which is mainly reflected in the overall industrial level, which is the same as Spain, and Spain no longer has the strength to dominate the oceans, as evidenced by the fact that Spain was beaten by the United States at the end of the nineteenth century.As long as the United States is given ten years of stable industrial growth environment, it can quietly all the European powers, and if the United States is given another ten years, it will be able to throw off the great powers, and there will be another big war, and the United States will not participate, and then desperately sell arms in the back, then I will not know where to throw the other powers behind.The rise of the United States can be largely equated with the history of the 19th century, during which the United States grew almost unstoppable, while remaining neutral in European affairs and confronting the intervention of Spain, Britain, and France in North America.Britain did not fail to try to contain the United States, but the United States was not the primary threat to Britain, and the thirteen North American states were not the primary link in the British colonial system after independence.Throughout the mid-to-late nineteenth century until the outbreak of the First World War, Britain was in a relatively calm posture vis-à-vis the United States, and there was no fundamental conflict of interest between the two.Britain's successful global colonial system is not synonymous with global hegemony, and France, Germany, and Russia all have the strength to compete with Britain in Europe.Before 1850, Britain was twice as powerful as the United States in terms of population and economy, and until 1879 the United States was generally behind Britain economically.For Britain, the United States did not have the ability to threaten its maritime supremacy in the Atlantic, let alone threaten the British economy or the homeland security of its non-American colonies, so there was not much need to stop the United States 18001860 during this time, but still focused on Europe and other colonies, mainly British India; The former is for geopolitical purposes, while the latter is more for economic gains.Now the emperor is the only one in the world who knows the future direction of the world, so the upcoming eighties of the nineteenth century to carve up Africa, and the silent rise of the United States, this is the most concerned thing for the emperor at present, to seize Africa and prevent the rise of the United States, the strategic significance of China is almost equal, to stop the United States is almost impossible, then you can only try to penetrate the Middle East, take Africa, can fully unify Asia, is the best choice, after the development of the navy, and then try to take Australia and New Zealand.The Chinese Emperor believed that Britain did not take the United States seriously, and the key was that Britain did not have the ability to launch a complete military conquest of the United States, or even completely crush the entire military strength of the United States.The War of 1812 is a good example, although the British captured Washington, but still suffered a series of defeats in the southern Louisiana battlefield, the Battle of Lake Champlain, the Battle of Baltimore, and the Battle of New Orleans.A large part of this is due to the Atlantic Ocean.Although the British Royal Navy was invincible in the Atlantic, it was not at the same level of difficulty in terms of sea supremacy and sending troops and supplies across the ocean, and it was difficult for all the great powers at that time to independently defeat a large power with modern military power and no technological generation gap without relying on local allies to project a large number of troops across the ocean.So in some ways, Britain really can't do anything with the United States.If you really want to do something militarily against the United States, you must first try to find a younger brother or a son in a North American country or South America next to the United States.Britain's foreign policy in the 19th century was the main adversary and adversary of the British Empire in the 19th century, both of which were continental European countries.This is determined by Britain as a hegemon, and the steps of development will always be: regional hegemony to global hegemony.Britain has never achieved true regional or global hegemony, at least not in Europe.Britain also had two old rivals, Spain and France, in the Americas, both of which had large colonies in the Americas until 1850.In other words, none of the European powers can spare their hands, they are all very strong, but the situation of several powers together is to cancel them all out, so to come up with a world hegemony, only the United States and China can be found, this is a question that the Chinese emperor has figured out since 1870.After the reunification of Germany, Europe became more and more of Britain's strategic focus.The Great Britain War of 1812, or the Second War of Independence, was largely caused by America's covetousness of Canada.It is not that Britain wants to do anything to the United States, and the British themselves know that they can no longer control the United States.On June 18, 1812, after President James Madison addressed Congress, Congress voted to declare war.There were three reasons for the declaration of war, the main being that Britain had violated the sovereignty of the United States, while not respecting the neutral status of the United States in the Napoleonic Wars, refusing to hand over the military fortifications in the western region that had previously been agreed to be handed over in the agreement reached in Paris, and arming the Indians and threatening the western frontier of the United States, and the Royal Navy intercepting American merchant ships and forcibly conscripting American seamen.These policies were in fact incidental to Britain's response to the Napoleonic Wars, and the primary target was not the United States.At that time, the British had a great willingness to make concessions to the protests made by the United States, and the result of the British parliamentary vote at that time was to make concessions to the United States and avoid war, focusing on Napoleon.However, it was too late, and the United States had already decided to declare war on Britain.Therefore, the War of 1812 was not a war of British containment of the United States by force, and after the War of 1812, Britain basically abandoned the idea of using force to contain the United States.In contrast, around 1812, the greatest threat to Britain was not the United States but Napoleon, in the 182040s Britain was more wary of the revolutionary tide on the European continent, and the construction of the colonial system in Asia, including India and China, and the greatest threat to Britain in the 185060s was Napoleon III, and there was also the great Indian colonial uprising that directly threatened the British colonial system, followed by the Crimean War with the Schar.Britain's own population and geographical advantages are not as good as the United States, the United States is almost an enlarged version of Britain, and in order to protect the local industry, Britain cannot let go of its arms to develop the colony, but will suppress the manufacturing industry of the colony.Several opportunities and possibilities for the division of the United States were not seized by the British.The Mexican-American War did not help the obviously weak Mexico, Texas and California did not block the accession of the United States, and the Civil War did not help the weak South by force.Without this kind of substantive division, US imperialism will not weaken, and US imperialism does not even need to seize overseas colonies, as long as it continues to move westward to achieve the effect of colonies.If World War II had not been provoked by Germany, the United States would have used the Red Plan to snatch Canada and dismantle Britain by force, but the strength of the British Navy is obvious to all, and if it is an Atlantic sit-down war, it is estimated that the effect of British disintegration will not be as good as that designed by the United States.Hua Huang saw everything very clearly, but the specific operation was not as simple as he thought.Therefore, the Netherlands, an old power that wants peace and wants to revive its strength through trade, and China, a new upstart that has recently emerged, is trying to catch up and strive to rise, have too many interests in common.The Parliament building of the Netherlands has three entrances and four gates.The buildings to the left and right of the Knights' Hall were once the residence of the Governor, while the Upper and Lower Houses of Parliament were located.The building is extremely attractive because the most important events in the history of the Netherlands are set against this backdrop.The reception hall under the Knight's Hall is exhibited throughout the year.These include a model of the Capitol, a chronology of the political history of the Low Countries over the past 12 centuries, and tombstones of many knights.The headstones were discovered during the demolition of the former chapel of the Capitol."
Your Majesty, this is a panorama of Mesda, the largest circular oil painting in Europe that offers a view of the sea, the vast beaches, the sand dunes of the Netherlands, and the picturesque fishing village of Scheveningen."
William III personally introduced to the Emperor.President Meng nodded, "This is indeed an unforgettable time and space experience; It was as if the spectacle had become a reality.The artists are great. ”Gege and Princess Katrina Kaf, Lee Tae-hee, Catherine and others also followed with great interest to see the oil paintings, Queen Emma knew a little English, but not very fluent, while explaining to several of the emperor's daughters, while listening to the emperor talk to William III in fluent English, secretly wondering, kept peeking at the emperor, seemed to be very interested in His Majesty the emperor.t1706231537:
