Chapter 710: Information Asymmetry (I)

The British and the Germans would not let go of this opportunity to pull the Netherlands over, but on the other hand, they would not allow the Netherlands to be pulled over by the other side, so they would definitely be rude. At this time, they even did something to rob their relatives. The British home fleet was in combat readiness, and the German land forces were preparing for battle, which was all about putting pressure on the Netherlands. Then they forced the Netherlands to marry Wang Guorui's daughter Angelina to their prince, which was a red fruit to rob the family. This kind of guy is really ruthless, for Wang Guorui's daughter, he is so desperate.

But this made Wilhelmina embarrassed, originally Wang Guorui agreed to marry Germany temporarily, and then regretted marrying. But now the situation has changed, and both countries have to come over to grab their relatives, so how can she, the queen, sit still? She knows very well that she can't lose her status as a queen, as long as she still sits in the queen's position one day, even if it is only in name, then she has to think about the Netherlands. Now the Netherlands has become the core of the Anglo-German confrontation, and both sides will use the Netherlands as a punching bag if they are not careful. In such a situation, then they must be in trouble. This one in the Netherlands is dancing on two eggs, and you can't step on either one! So Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands has no choice but to come over and ask Wang Guorui to solve it.

"Wang Guorui, if you don't solve this matter this time, then I have nothing to say to you. Although we are husband and wife, I am also the Queen of the Netherlands, and we cannot sit idly by and watch the Netherlands fall into war. Now that the war is on the verge of breaking out, if you can't come up with a solution, then I can only order the marriage to be stopped as the queen of the Netherlands, and the Netherlands will remain neutral. At that time, you saw that it was done yourself, and I had no choice anyway, I had to think about the subjects of the Netherlands. Wilhelmina said impulsively.

At this time, Kang Tongwei, who was in charge of the meeting minutes, came over immediately. Then he poured a cup of tea and said, "Sister Wilhelmina, you calm down first, my husband is also trying to find a way!" Have a cup of tea and calm down! ”

Wilhelmina drank a cup of tea, and then calmed down, but still looked at Wang Guorui with a look of hope. I hope Wang Guorui can come up with a solution to the problem at hand as soon as possible. This problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise there will definitely be problems next.

"Husband, I wonder if we're thinking too much about the problem?" Zheng Hong said suddenly.

"Thinking about the problem too complicated? How do you say that? Wang Guorui asked.

Zheng Hong replied: "I think we think the problem is too complicated, in fact, the British don't seem to know the Schlieffen plan, the German strategic plan!" ”

Hearing this, everyone who was doing it also looked embarrassed, and it seemed that they really thought about the problem.

In the Netherlands, it was already late, but at this time the Dutch parliament was still brightly lit, and there was no intention of stopping. This situation has been going on for more than 72 hours. The councillors of all stripes are arguing here and there, and then they are arguing with each other, and there is no result at all. Some supported marriage with England, some supported marriage with Germany, and some strongly opposed marriage with either party. And these three aspects are difficult to reconcile, and all three parties have irreconcilable places. As a result, this kind of revolving has been going on and has not been able to be truly resolved. In the past few days, no less than a dozen congressmen have submitted their resignations. At this time, they knew that the pressure was too much, so they planned to leave the picks and quit. And there are more and more such people. Neither side will be able to resolve these issues. There was no way to solve such a situation, so both Britain and Germany intended to use force to threaten the Netherlands. The British home fleet was already in combat readiness, and the German Army was beginning to prepare. Both sides intended to use force to force the Netherlands to compromise.

In the Dutch Parliament, all kinds of ink, leather shoes, waste paper and stationery are flying all over the sky, and leather shoes are thrown around as grenades, and everyone is making noise here. This is the original ecology of the so-called Western democracy, which has the combat effectiveness of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty in China. At that time, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty in China were very good at group fighting. And the so-called parliamentarians of Western democracy are the remaining means of Chinese civil officials. These civilian officials fought in groups, which made many soldiers also amazed, and they were ashamed!

And at this time, people from all over the world walked in outside. Then the British minister to the Netherlands and the German minister to the Netherlands were completely cross-eyed here, and neither side looked at each other very well. As for the other, there was an even more unpleasant one who was also nearby. This person is Ye Tianfeng, the Chinese minister to the Netherlands and Wang Guorui's personal representative to the Netherlands. This Chinese minister to the Netherlands also concurrently serves as Wang Guorui's personal representative, that is because Wang Guorui also serves as the prince of the Netherlands, Wang Guorui also has the title of Prince of the Netherlands, and then the Chinese minister to the Netherlands will also replace Wang Guorui to exercise the identity of a part of the Dutch prince, and act as an agent for Wang Guorui, the "Prince of the Netherlands", under Wang Guorui's authorization.

β€œstopit!” The British minister in the Netherlands shouted, and the phrase meant "stop......

The Dutch parliamentarians who were fighting in a group finally stopped, and then they were all relieved to see that the British, German and Chinese ministers to the Netherlands had finally arrived. They're arguing here, and they're not going to have to solve it in the end? Therefore, the representatives of these three countries will ultimately be decided by the three of them.

"Guys, today we have to solve these problems. Otherwise, we, the British Empire, will use our methods to solve the problem! Said the British minister to the Netherlands.

"We in Germany are not soft persimmons, and since the Netherlands has agreed to our marriage, we in Germany have no reason to give it up. Let's hope that the Netherlands will think about it and not let the threat that affects us not come. The German minister to the Netherlands also began to threaten.

However, Ye Tianfeng, the Chinese minister to the Netherlands, immediately interjected: "Then I'll say a few words!" ”

"Why are you interjecting? This is the internal affairs of the Netherlands, we are discussing the marriage of the Dutch princess, you Chinese are outsiders, why interfere? The British minister to the Netherlands asked.

Ye Tianfeng scolded in his heart: "Your grandfather's, Princess Angelina is not only a princess of the Netherlands, but also the future princess of our China!" What the hell, I'm an outsider as a Chinese minister! ”

But following the local customs, in Europe can only do things according to European standards, so he has no choice.

"Don't forget, everyone, I am still the personal representative of Lord Wang, that is, the personal representative of the Prince of the Netherlands, can't I even say a word about the biological father who replaces Lord Wang, the princess? Isn't it true that even the father of your European marriage to marry a daughter can ask a second question? Ye Tianfeng asked.

"Well, since you want to say it, then you can say it too! But you don't have the right to decide, this is an internal affair of the Netherlands! Said the British minister to the Netherlands.

Ye Tianfeng also felt a toothache, and his future Chinese princess could not decide on the marriage of his princess, which made Ye Tianfeng also have a toothache. But he knew what he should do, so Ye Tianfeng could only do his best.

"With regard to the fact that both countries wish to marry Princess Angelina, the first heir in line to the throne of the Netherlands, I am Princess Angelina's biological father and the personal representative of Prince Wang Guorui of the Netherlands, so I should be qualified to express his personal opinion under the authority of Lord Wang. If a father can't even express his opinion on his daughter's marriage, is there any reason? This time, I have come to express my opinion on behalf of Lord Wang Guorui in his personal name, and I will not express my opinion in my capacity as the Chinese Minister to the Netherlands. ”

This identity is very important, if Ye Tianfeng expresses his opinion as the Chinese minister to the Netherlands, he is interfering in the internal affairs of the Netherlands, even if this Angelina is Wang Guorui's daughter. And if Wang Guorui, the personal representative of the "Prince of the Netherlands", speaks on behalf of Wang Guorui, then he is naturally speaking in a private capacity, and he is not afraid of any problems, even if it is a father who expresses his opinion on his daughter's marriage. It would be ridiculous if even a father was not qualified to have an opinion on his daughter's marriage.

"Our Lord Wang's opinion is that we hope that this time the princess can be engaged to the prince of Joachim of Germany!" Ye Tianfeng said.

The German minister smiled, but the British minister immediately said angrily: "No, why marry Germany?" Isn't our prince of the British Empire worthy of a Dutch princess? ”

"Don't worry, our Lord Wang also entrusted me to tell you about a thing, which is also a very important plan. The Dutch princess was betrothed to the German prince, and then a joint management committee of the port of Ludan was formed by the Netherlands, which was composed of Dutch and British people to form a joint management. In addition, the British have a garrison of 300 people in this Ludan Port, which is responsible for maintaining law and order in Ludan Port. What do you think of the fact that the Netherlands promised Britain that they would never allow German and any foreign naval vessels to be stationed in the port of Ludan, and that no warships would be allowed to enter the port of Ludan. ”

Hearing this, the German minister's face changed slightly, but it was obviously not as angry as he imagined. And the British envoy to Holland also immediately saw that this method was very much in line with the British thinking, and it was obvious that he was quite satisfied with this result.

And the Dutch parliamentarians were also talking to the parliamentarians next to them, and then seemed to try to analyze the feasibility of this plan. Then the two sides began to discuss and analyze here, so that everyone began to really think seriously, instead of the state of arguing all the time. The progress of this discussion has also accelerated a lot, and then they can really start a pragmatic discussion. (To be continued.) )
