Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Chapter 1009 Queen Alexandra intervened in the Latin American war?

"Tsarist Russia has been in your calculations, William, from the very beginning. Now Tsarist Russia is at odds with Germany and Austria at the same time, and it has problems with Sweden over Finland, the Ottoman Empire's Crimea issue, etc. It has no friends around. Do the math. It seems that only we and the United States still have some weight, and the United States also has a large number of German and Austrian people. It is very frequent for the two countries to interfere in Russia's policy, which is unreliable. Therefore, we, the Netherlands, are Russia's best alliance partner."

"Bah bang bang" William IV smiled and said: "That's not bad, Alexandra, you seem to be getting more and more mature. The International Women's Association has been flourishing, and the International Red Cross is also on the right track under your guidance. , especially the latter, can expand its influence.”

"How to expand the law?" Alexandra asked excitedly and curiously.

Although Queen Alexandra was not obsessed with political power, she was very willing to help William IV and the Netherlands.

The International Women's League organization has made her familiar with the operation of international politics, making her a role model for women in various countries. If William gives her the International Red Cross, she will not refuse it, and has even begun to figure out how to use it to fight for the interests of the Netherlands. .

"Of course they are using the purpose established by this organization to seek benefits."

William IV followed: "The establishment of this organization has different positions and interests for the country that accepts its help and the country that controls it, so Alexandra, I tell you."

William IV whispered in Alexandra's ear, and Alexandra kept nodding.

The International Red Cross is a non-governmental humanitarian organization and an international joint humanitarian organization of various countries. It is headquartered in Sydney, the largest city in the Far East of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

In 1865, the Dutchman ElBaradei founded the International Red Cross and became the first Director-General. After 14 years in power, Queen Alexandra was elected to the International Red Cross in 1879 due to the proper management of the International Women's Association. The director-general of the association, who holds two positions in one person, is a role model for women.

She represents the soft power projection of the Netherlands in the international community. She is also a figure of William IV, a hard-line neutral figure in the Netherlands in the outside world.

Therefore, every action taken by the International Red Cross will be immediately recognized, because this organization is completely on track to become a globally authoritative, fair and just organization.

"Although as the Queen of the Netherlands, my obligation is to stand on the side of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and safeguard the interests, but as the Director-General of the International Red Cross Society, my position determines that I need to do more humanitarian things. I can What I want to tell you is that I did it, I did it. Just today, I have given instructions to the officials of the International Red Cross Society in Sydney. All members of the organization can focus on humanitarian operations on the battlefields of the Mexican-Austrian War. Doctrine, the Netherlands has thrown 200 humanitarian teams across the Pacific, preparing to arrive in eastern Nicaragua, where we are preparing to open a humanitarian route to rescue civilians injured on the battlefield.

At the same time, almost all countries in the Americas, including Brazil, Argentina, the United States, etc., have expressed their willingness to contribute to saving the lives of Mexican civilians. I welcome and thank you very much for this. We hope that more countries and organizations will participate. Inside, to prevent the spread of war and harm more people who should not be harmed, I have issued a message to the governments and military of Mexico and Austria-Hungary in the name of this organization not to attack the Red Cross troops involved in the rescue. If these are attacked, If you are a humanitarian, then you will be the sinner of the international community.”

On November 20, 1881, the Director-General of the International Women's Association, the Director-General of the International Society of the Red Cross, the eldest princess of Christian IX of the Kingdom of Denmark, and Queen Alexandra of the Netherlands solemnly announced the above news in Sydney.

"No one can be indifferent to the war. We call on the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Mexican Republic to suspend the war and allow other countries to participate to provide buffer time for the two sides to start negotiations. We call on the related parties of Germany, Austria, Britain, the Netherlands, and Tsarist Russia to Even unrelated major countries such as the United States, Brazil, France, and Spain have begun to supervise and test the war between the two countries, because the war may spread to your country, and a world-level war may be coming, with tens of thousands of people around the world. Tens of millions of people are displaced, and hundreds of millions of people may be injured or even lose their lives. The founding mission of the International Red Cross is to maintain world peace and rescue injured people on the battlefield. During natural disasters and man-made disasters, let the victims feel our selflessness. Love"

The sudden appearance of Alexandra and the International Society of the Red Cross led by her silenced the world.

The sun never sets on the Empire of Great Britain, Buckingham Palace.

"Queen Alexandra's imaginative and imaginative way of intervening is quite shocking."

The 62-year-old Queen Victoria said with some admiration: "This girl is getting better and better at using the power in her hands. If this continues, the Queen of the Netherlands will be in trouble. My Alice, your original love rival is really Don’t underestimate it.”

In 1862, Queen Victoria originally wanted to marry her second daughter, Princess Alice, who was just 18 years old, to William IV of the Netherlands, who had just come to power less than two years ago. However, her eldest son, Prince Edward, happened to like the eldest princess Alexandra of Denmark. He just happened to complete two beautiful marriages for his children, but by some strange combination of circumstances, his two children turned out to be the object of others' disdain. William IV of the Netherlands actually fell in love with the 17-year-old eldest princess Alexandra of Denmark. And both turned a blind eye to Edward and Alice's love.

Well, it turned out in the end that she still thought too much.

In 1863, Alexandra, who was 18 years old, held a grand wedding and married from Denmark to the Netherlands to become Queen William IV. Alice sadly married the Duke of the country. Edward married a Portuguese princess.

Finally, relations with the United Kingdom and the Netherlands began to sour. The Boer War in South Africa, the domestic struggle in the United States, the Latin American and Chilean civil wars where the two countries were almost directly involved in the war, the Strait of Malacca disputes, etc., etc., the Netherlands and the United Kingdom were almost incompatible with each other.

At present, a tug-of-war of co-optation and counter-cooptation has been launched in the Eurasian continent, and the Indian Ocean is divided into north and south.

Faced with such a situation, originally, this time Germany and Austria faced Tsarist Russia, Britain pretended to be won over to seize the maximum benefits. A few days ago, the Netherlands was releasing smoke bombs to win over the Second French Empire, but now, the International Society of the Red Cross ’s participation made her even more confused.
