Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

William IV said kindly: "I haven't seen the Prime Minister for many years, but the Prime Minister is still as good as before."

Kumundoulos said mysteriously: "Yes, in 1870, His Majesty traveled to Greece to attend the wedding of Crown Prince Frederic and Princess Louise. It was my first time to set foot in Melbourne after many years. By the way, Princess Louise and Little The prince is in good health, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

William IV's face changed slightly, and he looked at Cumunduros with a solemn expression, as if he was concerned but also warned: "Then the Prime Minister should take care of my younger siblings and nephews at the government level, and don't let bad people harm them. It’s their turn”

What Kumundulus just said brought back memories of William IV, allowing him to recall some memories that were both beautiful and helpless.

He thought of the extremely smart fourth princess of Britain, his younger brother and sister-in-law, Princess Louise, Crown Princess of Greece after 1870.

This person who dared to love and hate actually had an affair with himself despite the fact that he was married to Frederick, and had an unspeakable relationship with him after the marriage. In fact, this kind of style was practiced by the couple royal family in the 19th century. The October incident is very popular, and almost every emperor, king and even grand duke in Europe will become the subject of people's talk. For example, Napoleon I and Napoleon III both had illegitimate children, and the current Swedish Oscar II is even related to several Swedish widows.

The future Edward VII of the United Kingdom, Prince Edward, who is still only the crown prince, had been obsessed with other people's wives in his early years. In his early years, he had affairs with the wives and children of certain British ministers, which shocked the United Kingdom and Europe, and even Queen Victoria. Therefore, he was imprisoned and the eldest son of the British royal family was asked to publicly apologize to calm the situation.

But it has also become the object of ridicule in European countries.

William IV came from the 21st century to the mid-to-late 19th century, but his thoughts and mentality changed along with the changes in the environment.

Four years after a commoner became the crown prince of Europe, he personally took charge of the king of a country. He also had plug-ins and was familiar with history, which brought unprecedented prosperity and strength to his country. People like challenges, and with a good career, William IV took a fancy to him in his early years. Historically, Queen Alexandra, the wife of Edward VII of England, changed from the Queen of England to his wife. For this reason, he even went to Denmark to become a student under Andersen's name in his early years, and became his wife with Alexandra. Andersen's student.

Later, she ignored the repeated provocations of her love rival Prince Edward of England and insisted on marrying the Danish princess to become the Queen of the Netherlands. This was the biggest change in the history of the character. Then, out of selfish motives, Louis had long been in love with him. Princess Si recognized her younger brother and sister from the grand duchess who was married to a local British noble, and then the two of them evolved from a "love letter" complex of letters to a world of secret lovers.

Even William IV turned a blind eye to Louise's unexpected infertility attack on the brother who was hostile to him, causing the third generation of the Greek royal family to become his bloodline.

All of this seems to be accomplished in just a few sentences, but every item is very arduous.

Princess Louise was able to succeed mainly because of someone's help, and the person who helped her, the Greek Prime Minister in front of her, was one of the key roles.

Komunduros was not so much the royalist figure in the Kingdom of Greece who supported William III the most. In fact, he was the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Greece who was William IV.

The Prime Minister, who had been thrown into prison by Otto I of the Greek Kingdom, had given up the idea of ​​survival at the time, but was finally rescued by William IV and brought to power in Greece again.

It is not an exaggeration to say that William IV is his reborn parent.

Therefore, although he faced competition from domestic rivals, he remained unmoved. When others took turns to become prime minister, he would definitely serve as prime minister almost every five years. He can be said to be an evergreen tree in the Greek political arena.

His family and factional forces were rooted in all aspects of Greece, and those who followed his path were the secret forces of William IV.

Only William IV knows how important the 67-year-old man in front of him has been to his control of Greece all these years. Of course, he needs to give him the sweetness he deserves, but he also has sticks ready to beat the opponent at any time.

William IV: "Take good care of them, I think everything will be fine in Greece"

As expected, Kumundulus is a smart man. He naturally understands his position and represents this position. So I nodded yes without hesitation.

William IV looked at the other party with satisfaction, and then said: "I wonder what Your Excellency Cumunduros thinks of the threat made by George, the commander of the British Mediterranean Fleet yesterday?"

William IV tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table and said, "Britain is not easy to mess with. Be careful, Athens is really bombarded."

Cumunduros smiled bitterly and said: "Naturally, few countries in the British Empire dared to confront them head-on. In the past few decades, except for the First French Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire, other countries have been able to avoid and resolve the problems. Choosing to back down and make concessions, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has been fighting against the United Kingdom in the past two years, but it has become the third country after France and Russia. Even the German Empire cannot compare. A global power can be expected."

William IV: "Stop flattering and get down to business."

Cumunduros nodded, and then said with a serious face: "This time, the United Kingdom actually used the Mediterranean fleet to threaten nearby. The purpose is naturally not simple. I am worried that the United Kingdom has just faced the exercises around the British Isles by the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Denmark. It would be embarrassing, but if it conducts retaliatory exercises against these three countries and the Netherlands, it would seem a bit stingy, but it is not willing to accept the provocation of the Netherlands and does not respond back, so I am worried that the UK will find another way, in other aspects Fight back against the Netherlands”

William IV: "You, the Prime Minister of Greece, happened to be visiting our Melbourne, so the UK launched some attacks on Greece to fight back against our Netherlands and save face?"

Kumundoulos said with a wry smile: "Actually, the UK has known about our visit to the Netherlands for a long time. When we passed through the Suez Canal, we had to obtain permission from the UK. After all, it is under the control of the UK. Without their permission, we I can’t get through there.”

William IV was stunned, and then he woke up.

"So, Britain is well prepared?" William IV said.

"Come prepared," Kumundulus said with a headache.

William IV couldn't help but feel condensed in his heart. Britain's unexpected chess game this time made William IV feel a little unexpected. However, the world will never revolve around him, and the same is true for the Queen of England.
