Hearing Bourgesius's words, this made the Dutch parliamentarians feel a burst of shock, because this Bourgesius's request was so amazing, he actually wanted Wang Guorui to give a bride price. But the bride price is just that, this bride price actually opened his mouth to ask for three monarch-class battleships, which simply shocked everyone. Because the Sovereign-class battleships are currently the most advanced battleships in the world, and their power is so great that even the British don't have many of them. And Taiwan doesn't know where to get these things. And Dutch Prime Minister Bourzesius actually wanted to ask for this monarch-class battleship, and it was three at a time, which was simply unacceptable to everyone.

In this era, the role of battleships is actually similar to that of nuclear weapons in later generations, with a strong deterrent power. The main role of battleships is to deter, and the Netherlands actually wants this kind of battleship, which makes everyone feel excited. Because if they can get three Sovereign-class battleships, then I am afraid that they will also be able to effectively protect the security of Dutch territory in the future, which is enough for them to have the strength to ensure their interests. Three Sovereign-class battleships are enough to make them a naval country with a certain strength in the world, so those Dutch parliamentarians are also very excited.

However, would Taiwan's Wang Guorui give them the Sovereign-class battleships so directly? Didn't Wang Guorui know the role of this representative of the Sovereign-class battleship? Wang Guorui must know that if Wang Guorui knew the role of the representative of this monarch-class battleship, would he still give this battleship to the Netherlands? To be able to sell battleships, and moreover, the most advanced battleships, that would definitely be the friendliest country. But are Taiwan and the Netherlands friendly countries and regions? They had fought once before, and now they were just marrying their queen. Marriage is one thing, but a country is not necessarily a friendly country, because Wang Guorui and Wilhelmina came together because of two people hooking up. It is not because of national interests that they have come together. Therefore, they are the vast majority of personal feelings, and they are not due to national alliances. So the Netherlands and Taiwan are actually still at war, not peaceful countries, and they have not changed because of the marriage of their leaders.

So if Taiwan gave the Sovereign-class battleships to the Netherlands, would Taiwan be able to rest assured? Whether the Netherlands will not fight back at that time is also a matter of concern. So many Dutch parliamentarians were tempted by the three Sovereign-class battleships. But they were also worried that Wang Guorui would turn his face, and when the time came, he would completely give up marrying William Minna. At that time, their queen will become an unmarried and pregnant queen, and no one wants it yet, so where will their Dutch face go!

"I'm going to think about this!" Wang Guorui said.

And Wang Guorui immediately came out of the Dutch parliament, and then returned to his own mission, and the mission began to discuss.

"What do you think, can we consider giving this Sovereign-class battleship to the Netherlands?" Wang Guorui asked.

And Li Enfu immediately said: "No! Lord Wang, if you give the Sovereign-class battleships to the Netherlands. Will they turn their guns and come and shoot us? We currently only have six Sovereign-class battleships, and it's ridiculous to give them three at once. So, I don't think we can give to the Dutch. ”

And Yao Wendong immediately said: "Lord Wang, if these three battleships are given to the Netherlands, then I am afraid that they will turn their guns and hit us!" ”

But Wang Guorui smiled and said, "I don't think so, I saw a few battleships for these guys." Instead of having the opportunity to turn the gun around and hit us, they will do great harm to the Europeans themselves. You just have to think about it. The British had a couple of Sovereign-class battleships, and then we gave the Dutch three battleships, then what would the British think? When the time comes, the British will definitely not be at ease. ”

"If you look at how close the Netherlands are to England, they're just across the English Channel. And if the Netherlands had three Sovereign-class battleships, they could directly threaten their British mainland. And you can look at the seven Sovereign-class battleships of the British there. Four of them were in the Mediterranean Fleet, and only three Sovereign-class battleships were on the mainland and in the English Channel. So if we give these three Sovereign-class battleships to the Netherlands, I'm afraid that the first to be restless will be the British. Will their three Sovereign-class battleships be enough for them to protect their homeland? ”

"Don't think that the British navy is so strong that they can use one ship as if it were several. Their naval strength is built on the fact that their economic strength is strong enough to feed up a huge navy. Then use the navy to ensure that they have a large number of colonies around the world. If they do not have strong economic strength, their navy, like other navies, may not be able to win a war with the same number of wars. And as soon as the Dutch had the same number of battleships as they did, wouldn't the British be worried about the Dutch fighting them? And even if they still seem to be relatively friendly, but after they marry our Taiwan, will the British be worried? This is fundamentally an unsolvable problem back then, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin also said back then, how can others snore on the side of the couch, even the Dutch can't let them have the same strength as themselves. Once the Dutch are as strong as themselves, the British will not sleep peacefully at all. ”

And Yao Wendong immediately asked: "Then won't the British transfer the fleet in the Mediterranean back?" Once they transfer back the Sovereign-class battleships in the Mediterranean, then they will also have seven Sovereign-class battleships, and then they can completely suppress the Netherlands! ”

Wang Guorui continued: "If the British transferred back the seven Sovereign-class battleships, it would certainly suppress the Netherlands, but the French would also be unstable. For you only have to look at the fact that the British and the French are only separated by a strait, and if the British bring back their fleet, it seems that it is to suppress the Dutch, then their actual thoughts may not be understood by the French. They may have feared that it was the British who had taken back the fleet and would have been able to strike at the French. Then they just feel that they are going to be in trouble, so if you think about it, they are afraid that the French will be worried about it in the future. They will inevitably find a way to strengthen their power, and then they can only blame the return of battleships from all over the world, and then they will be able to deal with the threat of the British. ”

"And if the French are not at ease, then the Russians are also so at ease? Seven battleships of the British could directly threaten the territory of the Russians from the Baltic, and at that time they could have attacked the Russians by such a situation. At present, Europe is actually a balanced situation, and everyone's naval strength is basically balanced, and everyone has acquiesced to this mutual strength. If we give three Sovereign-class battleships to the Dutch, they will inevitably be churning like a drop of water into the already hot oil. At that time, in order to protect their homeland, the British would inevitably transfer back the Sovereign-class battleships in the Mediterranean. And the French must keep up, otherwise they will not be able to maintain the balance of power. And in the end, the Russians were not at ease, so they could only follow. ”

"Then the European nations began to build up their naval forces, so that we could reap the benefits of the fishermen. At that time, in order to safeguard their overseas interests, countries must expand their navies in large quantities before they can gain advantages. And they will definitely have a crazy ship-building competition, and then everyone will start to build battleships unstoppablely, and then devour the country's resources step by step. Europe is actually a powder keg, you don't think of them as too united, they actually have a lot of internal contradictions. If the British go to war against us in the future, the Germans may not follow, and the French have their own evil intentions in their hearts. Perhaps only Britain really contributed, and the strength of the British army was not good, and our navy was not a soft persimmon. After several years of construction, and then we have a good group of sailors, and if the British come, we may not be afraid of them. Of course, I am not their opponent in terms of the absolute strength of the warships, and if it is not enough, we can block them so that they can feel our strength well. We can give the Sovereign-class battleships to the Netherlands, so that we can also give them an advantage, and thus upset the naval balance in Europe, so that their crazy shipbuilding competition will begin, so that we can definitely settle down for a while. ”

"And we can all use the shipbuilding competition to make the European countries consume financial resources, so that they can gradually consume financial resources, and finally they will not be able to wage a large-scale war against us!"

Yao Wendong immediately asked; "Then if we give them three Sovereign-class, won't we have a big loss? That's half our battleship! ”

"Hmph, you probably don't know that in a little while, the battleships built by these countries will be obsolete. We're working on a new type of battleship that can make their warships obsolete in an instant, which would be fun. Wang Guorui said.

"A new type of battleship?"

Everyone didn't know when Wang Guorui would start researching new types of battleships, but most of them guessed that maybe the organization behind Wang Guorui would give them some new types of battleships, so that Wang Guorui could also use them. (To be continued......)
