Chapter 120

"What kind of gold treasure? And Lord Russell, are you sure you sent it?" Edward didn't want to bring shame on himself, but he couldn't help sneering.

But this time, it was surprising. His mother, Queen Victoria, tacitly agreed, which excited him inexplicably.

Therefore, at his age, he could not help but raise his head higher.

"According to Davies, there is more gold there than all the gold in the Netherlands now"

Suck suck!

Is there really so much air that the three of them could not help breathing in?

Why didn't the Netherlands take it? This is one of their doubts, but the Netherlands is much earlier in South Africa than the United Kingdom, and it is not impossible to know some secret information.

"If it's true, then, I agree to the deal"

"Mother" Edward wanted to speak.

But it was stopped by Queen Victoria, she said seriously: "Governing the country, everything can't be done on a whim, and you have to keep it firmly in mind."

Afterwards, she said to Palmerston Viscount and Russell: "If the Netherlands can prove to be true, I agree to give Australia to the Netherlands, but the premise is that the Netherlands must ensure that the mainland cannot be used to attack the United Kingdom, and the population of Australia Shipping costs will be paid by the Netherlands"

"Transportation? Where does Your Majesty want to settle those Australian immigrants?"

"Is New Zealand bad?" Queen Victoria said meaningfully.

"New Zealand is really good, but Australia's 400,000 British people can be accommodated, and it can also be used as an outpost for British supervision of the Netherlands."

After getting a detailed report on South Africa, Queen Victoria finally agreed to the request of the Netherlands for Australia, because the golden gold in South Africa, the Queen prefers more gold than the desolate Australia.

As for the huge colony that many people will have next year, Victoria doesn't really care, because there are still few colonies in the United Kingdom?

Not to mention, Canada on the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean is comparable to the United States, and India, the pearl of the Indian Ocean, especially the latter, is what the Queen is most interested in at the moment.

So Australia, with only sheep and kangaroos and native savages, is just a commodity for Britain at present.

What's more, she also stated in advance that the 400,000 people who immigrated from the UK were transferred to New Zealand, and the cost was all-inclusive in the Netherlands. She felt that such a policy should not be excessive in the House of Commons.

After all, the current leader of the House of Commons is the Whigs led by Viscount Palmerston.

...

At the same time, in Amsterdam, William IV welcomed one of his distinguished guests on this day. His visit made William IV even lead the ministers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to hold a huge state banquet to welcome him.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to welcome you on behalf of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. For a long time, the mutual assistance between our two countries has made our current close relationship."

In the reception hall of his own kingdom of the Netherlands, William IV, with just the right smile, looked at the same age as his father, William III. He was only 54 years old, but he was the sick King Frederick VII of Denmark. World.

William IV extended a cordial welcome to the king. This was the first time he had received a visit from another king of the kingdom since he became the king of the Netherlands. However, with the help of a group of subordinates, he quickly adapted to it. .

"For hundreds of years, the two countries have cooperated with each other in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, but this area has been calm and peaceful, and everyone has benefited a lot."

Although Frederick VII was weak, he insisted on making this trip to the Netherlands.

Because, now, Denmark needs some powerful foreign aid.

Asking for others, he immediately responded positively; "Yes, no matter the past or the future between our two countries, I think our relationship will remain friendly and unchanged, and even this time, I came here with the intention of friendship. Yes, but I hope the relationship between the Netherlands and Denmark will be even better."

Frederick VII took the old man to look at the vicissitudes of nearly half a century and looked directly at William IV, "There is a big difference between His Majesty William IV and your father, His Majesty William III."

"I don't know what you are talking about?" William IV asked with a slight smile, as if he was willing to continue this topic.

Hahaha!

Frederick VII looked at William IV with deep meaning, and said with admiration: "Your father is conservative and careful in doing things, while His Majesty William IV, you are very open. Shouldn't appear like a king of a big country."

The expressions of many Dutch ministers next to him changed.

This is a kind of meaning that seems to be underestimating the king of the Netherlands. Could this be the meaning of this Danish king without descendants, who worked tirelessly to come from Denmark just to slap their King William IV in the face?

William IV smiled slightly, and said indifferently of the temptation: "Could it be that compared with the United Kingdom, those of us who are not as powerful as them must silently respond to the challenges of the great powers?"

"Cough, cough," Frederick VII elegantly denied after a few coughs: "Actually, we admire the courage of His Majesty William IV, who has achieved so much at a young age.

It's good to be young, unlike me, I've passed the age of daring and daring."

William IV didn't care. If he could do what he was doing when he was young, there would be too many young kings in the world. Not to mention, the ancient country in the East now...

Forget it, it hurts to think too much.

After the grand state banquet was over, to William IV's surprise, this Frederick VII asked for a secret room meeting with him.

Two people!

William IV learned Danish very well because of his apprenticeship with Hans Christian Andersen for several years. Even without an interpreter, the two of them were enough to converse in Danish. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Frederick VII was also a person who admired Dutch culture very much. The Netherlands was the most powerful country for investment and business in Europe. In central and northern Europe, Dutch was also very popular with partners. Therefore, many members of the royal family and nobles in various countries have Basic familiarity with Dutch.

Of course, nothing compares to French.

"If it weren't for my father, I wouldn't need to practice like this so quickly, it's all full of pressure, it's really not easy to run a country.

It's better to give them freedom of thought, regardless of their food and safety. The last century is better. The royal family is strong. We are all comfortable as kings. How can we be so hard to seek public opinion and so on, so that we can't afford to be orthodox and choose instead. came the same. "

Frederick VII was spoken to in his heart,

"Yeah, the great revolution that swept across Europe in 1848? After the order was demanded to be postponed to the rule of the royal family, we in the royal family had a very difficult life. However, His Majesty William IV, I heard that your Holland has a very high support rate for the royal family. Ah, so I came here specially to learn from the scriptures"

William IV's heart is funny, this old man is still pretending to be me, obviously he is
