Chapter 708: Everyone is rushing to be the son-in-law (Part 1)

Soon, Wilhelmina sent a telegram back to the Netherlands, and then asked the Dutch parliamentarians to propose a proposal to marry Germany. ◇↓◇↓, although Wilhelmina is in China, according to the Dutch constitution, the king still has the right to appoint some people to serve as members of parliament. These people do not need to be elected, and can be directly appointed to serve as members of the parliament. They are representatives of the royal family, and then they replace the royal family to indirectly affect domestic government affairs. Although the Dutch royal family has no way to intervene directly, such indirect interference is still possible. And as the royal family, who doesn't have a few cronies! Even though Wilhelmina came to China, according to the Dutch constitution, her power to appoint members of parliament has not been cancelled.

Therefore, the MPs immediately began to propose proposals in Parliament in accordance with Her Majesty's request. As for the matter of marrying Angelina to the German prince, this matter must be discussed and approved by the parliament before it can be counted. Because Angelina is not only the princess of the Netherlands, but also the first heir of the Netherlands. This is true even if he has Chinese ancestry, after all, there are not many members of the Dutch royal family anymore. Wilhelmina is the third monarch of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Wilhelmina's father was already in her sixties when she gave birth to Wilhelmina. And Wilhelmina had several brothers and sisters before, but they all hiccupped. This caused the woman Wilhelmina to be regarded as the only seedling of the Dutch royal family, and Wilhelmina's descendants must be the Dutch royal family.

In fact, if there is no way, if Wilhelmina has no other brothers and sisters, then the Netherlands will probably force Wilhelmina to abdicate. After all, they are not able to accept their queen marrying an oriental man, not to mention that this oriental man has many other women. According to the previous practice, if the queen insists on this, she must choose to abdicate. But the Dutch royal family is the woman Wilhelmina, if Wilhelmina abdicates? What should we do then? There was no way to find a suitable person to be the king. At that time, there were only two choices. One is to find a distant relative from another country to be the king. But if you want a distant relative to come over, why? Especially those around the royal family, they disagreed even more. After all, the so-called one king and one courtier, as long as the queen Wilhelmina is on the throne for a day, even if it is only a queen in name, their interests can be guaranteed. If it is replaced by a distant relative who knows where, he will be the king of the Netherlands. At that time, the situation of the emperor and the courtiers will inevitably change.

So even if those who are united with the Dutch royal family know that Wilhelmina is married to a Chinese, or even that the future royal family has Chinese blood, then they can only knock out their teeth and swallow blood into their stomachs. Anyway, as long as they are descendants of the Nassau family, their interests can be guaranteed. If another family is changed to become the king of the Netherlands, their interests will definitely not be guaranteed. In particular, the kings of the Netherlands still have certain real power, which makes them even more unwilling to be like the emperor and courtiers. They can only desperately defend Wilhelmina's throne and prevent Wilhelmina from being abolished.

Of course, the other side is that there is really no one in the Nassau family, only Queen Wilhelmina. All they will grit their teeth to accept. Had the House of Nassau had another choice, they would have chosen to abolish Wilhelmina as well. However, obviously there is no choice, that is to choose to be obedient.

"What? We want to marry our crown prince to Germany?" The news immediately detonated the entire Dutch parliament.

You must know that the crown prince is not an ordinary person. Which country's crown prince would choose a husband at will? Especially now that Wilhelmina and Wang Guorui's daughter, Angelina, is only two years old, so she chose to marry Germany, isn't it too early?

But it seemed that they had known the news in advance, and the prepared Germans immediately responded. If Germany is willing to marry the Netherlands, then Germany will support it. Even if the prince of Germany cuts in the door and goes to the Netherlands, it will do! After all, it is Angelina who is the first in line of succession in the Netherlands. Most of them will inherit the Dutch throne, so it will be impossible for the future Queen of the Netherlands to marry. Therefore, the German prince can only be allowed to come and "marry". However, the German Emperor Wilhelm II may have few other things, but there is definitely a lot of "things" like his son. William II plans to send his youngest son, Prince Joachim, to the Netherlands to marry him, and prepares to marry the first heir of the Netherlands. As the prince of Germany, you must be prepared to sacrifice for the country. What's more, it is unlikely that Joachim will inherit the German throne, and his succession order is very low. Unless the previous brothers are all dead. That can be inherited. But this probability is too low. If it is true that the previous brothers are all dead, what will everyone think? Everyone may suspect that he did it!

So since the hope of succession is very slim, it is better to sacrifice for the country and become a married woman.

But this situation has just spread to the world. The British looked at the map, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! Of course they can see that if the Germans stop their warships in the port of Rodan in the Netherlands, they will directly attack London, the capital of the United Kingdom, completely and quickly. This distance is much shorter than starting from Germany, and the feasibility of the plan is also very high. If the time comes when the German fleet in Rodan Harbor in the Netherlands really gives you a cold shoulder, then directly break through the Thame River in London through the North Sea, and then go to your capital London to wreak havoc for you, then you will really be in trouble up. Even, there is no need for any large warships at all, as long as some small speedboats rush over at the fastest speed, and then leave after a round of fighting like this, it will make you miserable.

If Germany and the Netherlands marry, and even further reach this plan, allowing German warships to stay in Rodan Port, then the threat to the British capital Weilund will not increase a little bit. Although it's not really a knife resting on your neck, it's still someone pointing a knife at your throat. Although the distance is not very terrible, it doesn't feel good.

The British navy suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If the Germans and the Netherlands are officially married, then once this plan is achieved, the British will be in trouble. How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? Any country understands this truth, not to mention that the enemy is still pointing a knife at your throat, and can sneak attack your throat at any time, so can the British not be afraid? There are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, but there are no ones who can guard against thieves for a thousand days, so the British have to be afraid. Even if they have a powerful fleet, who knows about this kind of sneak attack?

Therefore, the British had to take countermeasures, and they all made suggestions to the Dutch Parliament, hoping to allow Queen Victoria's great-grandson George to be engaged to Angelina, the first heir of the Netherlands. And the British are also thinking that if this marriage can be established, they may have the opportunity to use the Netherlands as a springboard to threaten Germany.

In this way, the Germans will stop doing it. Nima, the Netherlands is next to Germany. If the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are married, it will directly give the British a springboard in the European continent, and then they can give Germany a cold shoulder on land at any time Come on? You must know that according to the Schlieffen plan formulated by the German General Staff, they will fight against France, and then try to force France to surrender before they are ready to turn around and fight the Russians. At that time the navy took defensive measures to avoid letting the British take advantage of the loopholes. And the core of this plan is to destroy France, and the Dutch must stand on their side, even if they remain neutral!

If the Schlieffen Plan is implemented at that time, the main force of the Germans will go to France at that time, and if the Dutch side with the British at this time and directly send troops to cut off the German logistics supply line, then let alone the Germans What Schlieffen planned, it is not bad to guarantee that the country will not perish.

Therefore, at this moment, the Netherlands has become the death spot between Germany and the United Kingdom, and both sides have begun to overwhelm the opportunity for this marriage. Both parties have put pressure on the Dutch Parliament, and then forced the Netherlands to agree to their own marriage plan. And this Netherlands already has a geographical location that is too good or too bad. It happens to be stuck between two big and powerful countries. The most cheating thing is that there must be a war between these two big and powerful countries. This is really a fool~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Those members of the Dutch parliament almost fainted in the toilet, and now the two big countries are putting pressure on them both openly and secretly. Some threatened, some gave gifts and bribes. Anyway, the Eight Immortals of the two countries showed their talents across the sea, and then forced the Dutch MPs to agree to their plan.

As a result, these Dutch parliamentarians are also going crazy. They are rats in the bellows - they are angry at both ends! This is also the sorrow of a weak country, caught between two big and powerful countries, it doesn't matter if it offends that one. This is really dancing on two eggs, and it won't work if you step on it.

As for the support of the Queen's husband, China's future emperor Wang Guorui, let's save it. This is not enough to quench thirst.

So the current Dutch parliament, the Dutch have completely lost control, and it has become a stage for the UK and Germany to wrestle. Under pressure, he resigned.

"You all want to be my son-in-law?" Wang Guorui couldn't help sighing when he received the news. (to be continued.) u
