Chapter 220

The Wallenberg family is now slowly using its Stockholm Bank, Sweden's largest and earliest private bank, to make predatory corporate acquisitions in Sweden. Now more than a quarter of Sweden's corporate companies have become this bank. At the same time, it is also the bank holding company.

The Wallenberg family used this shareholding in the company to provide low-cost financing to the company, making the company unable to resist the temptation, thus entering the network set up by Wallenberg. "

"What is the purpose of Wallenberg doing this?" Prince Alfred couldn't help asking.

Princess Louise has a better relationship with him among his many brothers and sisters. She smiled sweetly at him and exclaimed:

"I think Wallenberg is catching big fish with a long line." In the quiet eyes of the Queen, Louise said amazingly:

"As long as there is any economic crisis in Sweden, or poor management alone, resulting in a crisis in the payment of goods, then the Wallenberg family can take the opportunity to annex each other and complete the purpose of swallowing."

The actions of the Wallenberg family, although Princess Louise was deciphered bit by bit, at this dining table, it was her relatives who first realized that in Princess Louise's confident conversation, facing Sweden The understanding of it is astonishingly thorough.

It made Queen Victoria feel sad. If Prince Edward has such talent as her, then she can rest assured.

Thinking of her husband Leopold, I felt even more regretful in my heart.

"The Netherlands is becoming more and more powerful in Europe now. Mother, if we don't get the immediate interests of the UK's status on the Dutch issue, it will reduce the confidence of the people in the UK. This is a huge support for the royal family. of the loss.

Therefore, I suggest that the United Kingdom can be tough on the Netherlands, so that they can understand that although the Netherlands has risen in status and developed rapidly, the Netherlands is still the Netherlands, the British maritime hegemony, and the maritime hegemony."

As time went by, Princess Louise began to talk about the European countries one by one, and finally talked about the Netherlands. She suggested:

"The UK must be in a strong position recognized by the Netherlands, which can benefit our country and gain more benefits in the negotiations."

Prince Edward heard the words and immediately agreed.

He is also a Great Britainist, so he is willing to do anything to increase the prestige of Britain, just as he can later oppose the German Empire of his sister Victoria to become queen and queen mother, and even the later World War I, He didn't hesitate to compare it.

"Alice, what about the Hanover Kingdom, that's my hometown, Georg V is my oldest cousin and your father's cousin. I'm going to let you marry there and become the Crown Princess of Hanover, what do you think? how."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at her.

Princess Alice suddenly felt the silence around her. She thought of the figure of the Netherlands in her mind, and sighed in her heart. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said categorically, "It's all up to my mother."

Queen Victoria gave her a serious look, sighed, and was about to speak.

Prince Edward: "Mother, Alice She"

Seeing the Queen staring at him dissatisfied, she couldn't help but shut her mouth.

Queen Victoria: 'If so, then so'

She stood up, turned her head and said to Princess Alice: "Some things should be broken, and don't be broken."

After she left, at the dinner table, several people were silent for a while.

Prince Edward: 'Alice, I'

Alice: "Edward, I know you want to help me, but this choice of mother is actually not bad"

After speaking, she stood up with an apologetic expression to the others, and left as well.

Princess Louise stood up at this time, came to Prince Edward, and said: "I also feel good, at least that way, you can be closer to William IV."

Then, ignoring the dissatisfaction of Prince Edward, he left with a smile.

Prince Edward looked at Prince Alfred next to him and said, "Have you seen Alice's sadness?"

The latter shot him in the eye, "As long as you're not blind, you know."

Princess Beatrice: "Yeah, I know it all"

Edward: "Little kid, you're only 8 years old, what do you know?"

Then Edward sighed: "The Kingdom of Hanover, perhaps, as I told Louise, can heal her sorrows there."

Several people who heard the words were silent.

February 1, 1865.

The British royal family announced that Princess Alice, the fourth child of Queen Victoria's second daughter, will marry the royal family of Hanover.

She was to be engaged on March 20, 1865, with the eldest son of King Georg V of Hanover and his son, Crown Prince Ernst, and married on June 10 of the same year.

After the differences between the European royal families, they were silent.

The Queen of England has many children, and her marriage policy, for the United Kingdom, each time represents an extraordinary meaning.

Just like this marriage to the Kingdom of Hanover,

Hannover was originally the home of Queen Victoria.

And her father is the king of Hanover~www.mtlnovel.com~ It's just that the Hanoverian Dynasty has regulations that the throne is passed on to men and not women.

So Queen Victoria, the only female descendant, has no right to inherit.

On the British side, it happened that her uncle had no descendants, and there was no such restriction in the United Kingdom, so she was accepted into the United Kingdom as an heir.

The Kingdom of Hanover was her father's eldest brother, the Duke of Elber, who took over the throne in 1837.

It's a kiss!

Many people even speculate that this is the British royal family's desire to expand its presence on the European continent in response to the UK being united by Prussia, France and the Netherlands to push British influence in recent years.

The current King Georg V of the Hanoverian royal family is Queen Victoria's cousin, and the two are less than a month apart in age.

Although there are doubts about the marriage of the eldest sister, the United Kingdom, Hannover itself can become the fourth largest country in the German Confederation after the Austrian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Kingdom of Bavaria because of the backing of the United Kingdom.

It is still ahead of the Kingdom of Saxony, and the geographical location of the Kingdom of Hanover is destined to become a thorn in the eyes of all countries.

William IV was also taken aback when he heard the news. He thought of the Princess Alice who showed him bravely showing love at his blind date meeting, and the deeply hidden Princess Louise. Of course, now it's his brother-in-law, and the **** figure of Princess Helena, wife of Prince George of Denmark, comes to mind.

The Kingdom of Hanover was obviously frustrated in the Schleswig War this time, so it was willing to accept the British offer, but it was on guard.

William IV sneered and said to himself: However, in Prussia, which is in urgent need of an exit to the sea, will Bismarck and others let you retreat?
