"Your Majesty the Kaiser, how can this be? Isn't even Germany able to administer justice? When Queen Wilhelmina heard Kaiser Wilhelm II asking her to give up Indonesia, she was overwhelmed. ◎◎Could it be that this qiē can't be avoided? This made Queen Wilhelmina very desperate!

"Your Majesty, I hope you understand. China entered Indonesia with the fate of 'protecting overseas Chinese', and your country was slow to respond to the Indonesian riots, which caused great loss of life and property to the local Chinese, and China is very dissatisfied with this. According to the report of our ambassador to China, in China, there has been a lot of opposition to the Netherlands, and a large number of Chinese have demanded that the Chinese government declare war on the Netherlands! Kaiser Wilhelm II said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, we can compensate the Chinese for their losses. Can Germany mediate in the middle, as long as it can keep Indonesia, the Netherlands is willing to pay any price! Queen Wilhelmina said.

Kaiser Wilhelm II shook his head, and then said, "Your Majesty, I'm very sorry. Germany could mediate for the Netherlands, but it would not be possible to keep Indonesia. Germany could only reduce the losses of the Netherlands as much as possible. There is no other way for us to do it! "What Wilhelm II said was also very sincere, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was imperative for China to annex Indonesia, and no country could stop it. Since it is unavoidable, it is better to take the opportunity to find a way to reduce the losses, rather than hoping to keep Indonesia!

Queen Wilhelmina was silent, she knew. This trip to Germany was a no-brainer. She did not believe Wilhelm II's explanation. Why the Netherlands was slow to react in this Indonesian riot, this is simply an excuse. The deeper reason, she also knows, is nothing more than Germany's reluctance to break with China at this time. In the face of increasing international tensions, Germany needs to win over China, so it can only sacrifice the interests of the Netherlands! This may be the sorrow of a small country!

Although Queen Wilhelmina was very dissatisfied with this, there was no other way. Germany could not count on it. Not to mention other countries. Britain and France may support the Netherlands. However, at best, they only pay lip service to the Netherlands, and it is simply impossible for them to take substantive action. A Middle East war was fought. Both Britain and France suffered heavy losses and are still licking their wounds. Let them fight China for the sake of the Netherlands, it is simply impossible. As for the other power, the United States, the Americans have just been defeated by the Chinese in Mexico and certainly do not want to get involved now. As for Russia, Russia, which had suffered heavy losses in the war of that year, has not yet recovered. If it were not for the help of Britain, France, and the United States, Russia would have lost its status as a great power long ago. Therefore, the Netherlands can now be counted on by no one and can only rely on itself!

Merely. In the face of a behemoth like China, the Dutch rely on themselves, and obviously there is no way to compete with it. Queen Wilhelmina suddenly found out, in addition to compromising with the Chinese. She doesn't seem to have any other way!

"I'm sorry, His Majesty the Kaiser. Thank you for your help. However, I can't make a decision, so I'll have to consult with the ministers of the kingdom. I'm sorry, I'm a little unwell, so I'll take my leave! Queen Wilhelmina said.

"Okay, Your Majesty, please go back and rest!" Wilhelm II nodded. He is very aware of the importance of Indonesia to the Netherlands. After losing the colony of Indonesia, the Netherlands' position in Europe and even in the world will probably decline again and again.

Queen Wilhelmina's early departure was seen by many people. However, they did not do anything other than shake their heads. However, a trace of indignation flashed in Crown Prince William's eyes. He was not sympathetic to the Netherlands, but only jealous that China had made another big piece of fat. What a good thing it would have been if Germany had acquired this colony! Indonesia's huge market of 30 million people is also coveted by Germany! It's just that Germany has already made a decision, and he can only watch this piece of fat fall into the mouths of the Chinese!

"Greedy yellow-skinned monkey, you wait for me, and when the Entente is defeated, Germany will definitely defeat you and let you taste the fiasco!" Crown Prince William said secretly!

The departure of the guests did not affect the atmosphere of the banquet in any way. These Germans have been suppressed for a long time, and it is rare to have such an opportunity to relax, and of course everyone will not let it go. As the confrontation between the Central Powers and the Entente became more and more severe, Germany's national strength was also tilted towards the military, and all supplies were required to give priority to the military, even the nobles had not held a banquet for a long time. After all, their fate is tied to Germany, and they must first ensure that Germany wins the war!

The next day, Queen Wilhelmina returned to Amsterdam. At this moment, everyone knows that Queen Wilhelmina has hit a wall in Germany. Upon her return to Amsterdam, Queen Wilhelmina gathered the Kingdom's important ministers and briefed them on her visit to Germany. When Wilhelmina told them that Germany would not help the Netherlands, the important ministers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands suddenly turned pale. They all know that the loss of Indonesia is inevitable!

"Your Majesty, it seems that we have to prepare for the loss of Indonesia. After the loss of Indonesia, the kingdom's economy and financial income will be greatly affected! We have to prepare early! The gray-haired prime minister said. The income from Indonesia is already a very important part of the financial revenue of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and after the loss of Indonesia, these important ministers of the kingdom may have to be prepared to tighten their belts and live. Although everyone doesn't want to see such a thing happen, it seems that there is no other choice!

"The affairs of the kingdom are naturally decided by the prime minister and cabinet ministers, so come up with a solution!" Queen Wilhelmina said a little tiredly. For the sake of this country, she can be regarded as working hard, but she still can't let this country survive this crisis!

The Dutch government acted quickly, and on the same day they sent a message to the ambassador to China, Miles? Philip sent a telegram asking Miles? Philip and the Chinese negotiate the transfer of the Dutch Indonesian archipelago. In the eyes of the Dutch, they transferred the Dutch Indonesian Islands to the Chinese, and the Chinese had to give the Netherlands a compensation! So they asked Miles? Philippe, as far as possible to ensure the interests of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. At the same time, the German ambassador to China, August. Feng. Clinder will also participate in this negotiation as a mediator!

On July 20, 1906, the German ambassador to China, August? Feng? Klinder and the Dutch ambassador to China, Miles? Philip came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China. Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong had already been notified in advance and was already waiting for them in the office!

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Wu Tingfang!" German Ambassador to China August? Feng? Clinder said first. Relations between China and Germany began to warm, which made his life much better. If relations between China and Germany continue to stalemate, then he, as ambassador to China, will suffer. Fortunately, neither China nor Germany has lost their minds and knows who everyone's enemies are!

Dutch Ambassador to China Myers? Philip just said a simple greeting, the Chinese are now robbing the Dutch colony, counting on Miles? Philip gave Wu Tingfang a good face, that was simply impossible!

"You two, please take a seat!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile, and beckoned the secretary to bring three cups of coffee in!

"Ahem! Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, I think Your Excellency is also very clear about our intention this time. The outbreak of the indigenous Indonesian riots in Indonesia this time has suffered huge losses for both China and the Netherlands. In addition, it has also had a very bad impact on the relations between the two countries. The German side hopes that the two countries can end their differences at an early date and restore friendship! The German Ambassador to China, August. Feng. Clinder said.

Wu Tingfang nodded, and then said: "Your Excellency Ambassador Clinde, this time the Chinese have suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and His Majesty the Emperor is very angry, and he is also very dissatisfied with the slow response of the Dutch government in this riot. In order to protect the lives of the majority of Chinese, my country had to send troops into Indonesia! ”

"Humph! Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, don't be pretended, we are also very clear about China's ambitions for Indonesia. Maybe this riot was planned by your country! "The Dutch ambassador to China, Miles? Philip said angrily. Although, diplomats have always been shameless and thick-skinned, but looking at Wu Tingfang's fake performance, Miles? Philip was furious!

Sure enough, Wu Tingfang's face suddenly became gloomy, as the foreign minister of the empire and the candidate to succeed the prime minister, he also has a high status both in the empire and in the world. Now, Miles? Philip dared to accuse him to his face like this, which made him put his old face where to go!

"Your Excellency Ambassador Philip, then, I wonder what you are here to do this time? Begging for mercy? I'm still here to send a war letter to the Empire! If it's a war book, I'm very welcome! Wu Tingfang said coldly, and then looked at Miles defiantly? Philip.

Miles? Philip's face was flushed with suffocation! If the Netherlands had the courage to issue a war letter to China, there would be no need to ask Germany to mediate.
