Chapter 13

William IV arranged the meeting between Jules Darnell and Marie Philip, the No. 1 seed dark chess player in Belgium. William IV did not know, and could not know everything.

But he knew both of them.

The meeting in the Privy Council soon ended, and he returned to the lounge, lost in thought.

Looking at the numerous safes in front of him, he opened one of the safes and took out a document inside. Here is the list of chess pieces he has arranged over the years, including those from the Netherlands, such as Tolbett before.

And there are also foreign ones, such as Washburn in the United States and Jules Danetang in Belgium. These are the layouts that he unfolded after he crossed over 7 years ago. There is no way. Who told him that he was an ambitious person in his previous life, and he was a person with status after crossing over!

When he opened the information on Jules Danetang and Mari Philippe, he couldn't help but smile strangely, because this Jules Danetang was one of his attempts. President Bill Kerton copied it, so he used this person as a model and began to replicate the leader's development method for Jules Danetang. He asked his former lover, Bill Charlie, to follow his script. To guide the other party, unexpectedly, he succeeded.

The test was successful!

He actually started to enter the orbit on his own. Yes, just like the president in his previous life, he chose the infamous Bobbi Baker, who was very famous in Wharton at the time. Jules Danetang also chose Mali. . This guy Philip has become the de facto political father, he is really curious, what kind of development this guy will develop in the future, Belgian Speaker? prime minister?

Thinking of this, he revealed a dazzling sharp light.

He began to look carefully at the profiles of the two men.

Recalling Danneton's entire life journey, for the first 23 years, he was just an ordinary university student in West Flanders, Belgium, but his family was not rich, and with his own efforts, he was rewarded.

In this way, he met his political mentor, Bill Charlie, the head of the love bao organization of Crown Prince William of the Netherlands, during the sketch trip organized by the school. He accepted his various sponsorships, and he began a well-designed training. Course, after returning, with the help of Bill Linton, he quickly became a genius in West Flanders.

Yes, he rose to fame in the upper layers of the province, and even, later, began to spread throughout the Flemish (Dutch-speaking areas) of Belgium: West Flanders, East Flanders, Flandersbrand Bant, Antwerp and Limburg, where he is located.

Belgium is divided into three major regions. The capital, Brussels, is a mixed-language region, which crosses in a straight line. The north is the Dutch-speaking Flanders region. The Dutch-speaking population accounts for 52% of the Belgian population. The Lombard region accounts for 40% of the total population, of which the Eastern Prussian-speaking region in the Walloon region accounts for 3%.

Many people have long heard of Malifi Lip's notoriety, so they are reluctant to approach him, but one person was surprised. When Jules Danetang was choosing, after hesitating, he finally asked his Mentor Bill Charlie recommended his assistant, Marie Philip, to ask for help. This made his mentor look at him with surprise for a long time, even now he still remembers how unforgettable it was in his life.

Even William IV saw the conversation between Bill Charlie, the current head of the Dutch Royal Intelligence Bureau, and him.

"Danetang, you have to be careful. This person doesn't have a good reputation. If you choose, it may become a stain on you. Are you sure you still want him to be your assistant?"

"I'm sure, it has to be him"

"Okay, hope everything goes well"

"I believe in my choice, teacher"

In this way, he quickly saw Marie Philip who came out of the prison, and had to sigh how efficient Charlie was in his work. The Belgian prison seems to be too lax in supervision. I wonder if it will be the same in the Netherlands. , it seems that he has to keep an eye on it to prevent such a loophole from appearing in the Netherlands.

The above records Philip's obedience to him and the excellent performance he showed, and Danetang's face showed pride.

William IV smiled when he saw this.

When many people thought that Philip was a living specimen of a bygone decadent era, he also saw this, but he saw more, this person grew up from a lower level, he understood that although the other party's reputation was bad, at the same time he He has been swept into prison, but it is undeniable that Danetang, who wants to enter the political arena and run his own forces, really needs talents who have experience and can manage. His status is destined that he cannot find such talents to support. He, after all, he was only a city councillor in the province of Little Limburg.

A person with great talent, who would like to follow him? That's better than doing it alone.

And by chance, Danetang learned about Marie Philip, and when he heard about his deeds, he was shocked. For him who was ambitious but didn't have much capital, Philip was a gift from God. Therefore, he ignored the dissuasion of his mentor and the disdain and contempt of many of his colleagues in Limburg for him to win over Philip, and used a lot of opportunities to tame Philip. He knew that this was an opportunity.

Because he believes that since this Belgian political risk-taker and greedy man can push another poor but ambitious fellow from the same province to the top of the Belgian zheng altar to become the prime minister, then he can undoubtedly give him some advice. .

In his opinion, Philippe accompanied the former Prime Minister all the way. He not only knew Brussels, Belgium, but also the political ecology of Belgium. Even as an adviser to the Prime Minister, he knew how the whole world worked. To put it simply, it is an existence that gives inspiration. To put it simply, for his level, it is a guiding light on the journey of advancement.

William IV closed the document, closed his eyes and squinted slightly. After a long time, he opened his eyes, and the light was bright.

It's him!

This person is the best person for him to enter Belgium. As long as he stands at the peak, he can use Belgium to do things that the Netherlands cannot casually show up.

"However, Dark Chess No. 2 is not convinced if you think about it. It's better to let them fight first."

William IV thought of Dark Chess No. 2, and couldn't help showing a weird smile. This No. 2 secret chess, but a character that Tolbett personally cultivated, is not an exaggeration to become Tolbett's direct disciple.

If such a candidate for Tolbett's fancy, if he loses to Bill Charlie's candidate, he doesn't know what his expression will be. He is really looking forward to the appearance of that scene.

.....

February 1, 1862.

France, Paris, Versailles Palace.

The Palace of Versailles is the palace of the French Empire. It is located in the city of Versailles, southwest of Paris. It was built in the 16th century and has been repeatedly expanded to its current size, including three parts: the large garden in front of the palace, the palace and the radial avenue.

Symmetrical in shape, axis-shaped from east to west, the interior of the palace is extremely luxurious, with tapestries, oil paintings, and sculptures hanging on the inner wall. The hall displays bronze or marble carvings by famous sculptors. It enjoys a high reputation as an art palace, covering an area of ​​more than 110,000 square meters.

On the second floor, there are King Napoleon III's office, dormitory, reception room, cloakroom, entourage bedroom, etc. On the first floor, there are furniture storage and armory, etc. 26 rooms more than 100 years ago have now become 2,300 rooms .

Napoleon III is now receiving his Prime Minister Emile Olivier in the reception room on the second floor.

"Prime Minister, what do you think of the current Prussia?"

Olivier just asked Napoleon III why such relaxation of vigilance against the British Empire would have serious consequences, which made Napoleon III dissatisfied and asked back.

Just now, Napoleon was refuted speechless. No matter how good and good-tempered he was, he couldn't stand Olivier's pressing again and again. In the end, he was forced into desperation. , completely collapsed.

So in the absence of an answer, he would then turn against the generals, hoping that the other party would be in the same situation as him, which would make him uncomfortable!

The thing is, the original meeting with Olivier this morning was to ease the relationship with him, because he was still ready to make good use of his connections to slowly change the attitudes of those who oppose him, in order to consolidate him. government,

In such a state of mind, he put his attitude very low, but he didn't expect that the two of them were talking about domestic affairs. One king and one elected prime minister, the two sides still need to cooperate to develop France better. After all, who is it? Nor do they want France to be bullied by other countries, but when it comes to foreign policy, the differences between the two are exposed.

The Olivier Ocean faction has always insisted that if France wants to develop, it must develop overseas colonies, and it should be stronger, especially for Napoleon III to give up the crucial Suez Canal to obtain the support of the British Empire for his restoration of the Napoleon Dynasty. Dissatisfied, UU read www.uukanshu.com and his main attack direction is the direction of the Indian Ocean.

Although Napoleon III was also very keen on overseas, his main direction of attack was the Americas, and the British Empire was also supporting his development in the Americas, especially since the two countries are now taking advantage of the civil war between the North and South of the United States, and their cooperation in preparing to enter into the affairs of the United States makes Austria even more so. Liviere was dissatisfied, and what dissatisfied him most was that Napoleon III strongly arranged for a prince in Paris to directly serve as the emperor of Mexico, in order to prepare to rule Mexico, and to enter the front of the United States, which has already made Olivier received President Lincoln. and multiple letters of questioning from Secretary Seward.

This made him feel the anger of the Americans.

So his temper was vented on Napoleon III. You came and went to justify and explain. In the end, Napoleon III was defeated because Olivier reminded him.

"Your Majesty, I think the British Empire is using the United States to consume the strength and potential of the French Empire. The real purpose is because they want to use the United States to draw our attention and prevent us from threatening them in the Indian Ocean. The search for resources in the Indian subcontinent has to be guarded against. At the same time, the Civil War has now reversed. The South has an advantage in the support of the British Empire at the beginning, and it has been rotated.

In fact, I have to admit that the industrially developed North with a GDP of 1.8 billion US dollars and 360 million pounds is more suitable for France, because we need this market and technology to activate our national development, rather than exhausting our resources in Mexico.

Napoleon III moved his mouth, but in the end, he didn't refute, and the two stopped fighting each other.

But Napoleon III was not a master willing to suffer, so he asked:

"Prime Minister Olivia, what do you think of Prussia and his attitude toward the French Empire?"
