Emperor Li Fushou embarked on a whirlwind visit to Europe, and a few days after his visit to Belgium, he arrived in the Netherlands by car to begin a state visit to the Low Countries.

In Amsterdam, during his formal talks with Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and her husband, Li Fushou spoke highly of Her Majesty's hardline attitude towards the German Empire's exiled monarch Wilhelm II.

On three occasions, Queen Wilhelmina forcefully rejected the demands of the Entente, especially the French, in order to protect Wilhelm II from humiliation, facing the same tragic fate as that of Nicholas II.

Think about it on your toes, Wilhelm II, one of the main culprits of the world war, can there be a good one in the hands of the French?

There was no need to hope for the generosity of the French, even King Louis XVI could be guillotined, and the French would not hesitate when it was time to strike at Wilhelm II.

Li Fushou said; "Her Majesty seems to be more human than some [King George V] and I share Her Majesty's views on this and fully understand that."

When Li Fushou said these words, Queen Wilhelmina, who had a graceful and elegant temperament, was deeply moved, and immediately bowed to express her gratitude, and when she raised her head, her beautiful eyes were already full of tears.

God knows, how much pressure did she have to bear in refusing the Entente's request for extradition, and three times?

In the meeting

The two sides discussed the issue of the Governor-General's House of the Dutch East Indies of common interest, and Queen Wilhelmina said;

As a responsible world power leading the affairs of the Pacific region, it is hoped that the Ocean Empire will be open-minded to accept and recognize the status quo of Dutch rule in the East Indies for more than 300 years, accept the region as one of the active participants in the Pacific National Security Alliance, enjoy the benefits of the overall development of the regional economy, and not seek to unilaterally change the status quo.

Li Fushou said;

It is an undeniable historical fact that the Chinese have been widely distributed in the South Seas since ancient times, including but not limited to the East Indies.

As an immigrant country with an open door and an inclusive philosophy, Ocean Empire treats immigrants from all countries with an attitude of equality, freedom, fairness, justice and fraternity, and provides fair opportunities for immigrants who go to Ocean Empire to start a business and develop.

On this basis

The Ocean Empire is willing to engage in fair dialogue with the Netherlands more than any other country, frankly exchange mutual views, bridge differences, enhance mutual trust, and strive to create a peaceful and stable development environment in the Pacific region......

On the second day, the contents of this official meeting appeared on the front pages of mainstream British and French newspapers, and the public opinion circles of the two countries made different interpretations of it, and invariably focused on the attitude towards Kaiser Wilhelm II.

The Times reported;

During his formal talks with Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, Emperor Li Fushou bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction with King George V of the United Kingdom, and this outrageous remark may seriously affect the relations between Britain and the West.

This makes one wonder if there will be unpredictable changes in the policy of the Ocean Empire towards Britain.

The aftermath of this incident remains to be seen, and it is deeply worrying that discordant voices have emerged at the highest levels of the Entente group in the context of the excellent situation of the Paris Peace Conference......

The French newspaper Paris Morning Post carried the news on the front page, and angrily pointed out;

During his visit to the Netherlands, Emperor Li Fushou of the Ocean Empire cast a shadow over the internal unity of the Entente bloc by conniving at Wilhelm II's lax rhetoric and trying to help the former German emperor evade responsibility for the war......

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Stayed in the palace

Li Fushou came to the living room in pajamas, sat down comfortably with Erlang's legs crossed, took two sips of hot tea, picked up the newspaper on the coffee table and read it a few times, and his face was not good-looking in a blink of an eye.

What are these bullshit British and French public opinion circles interpreting?

Especially the extended interpretation of the French public opinion circles, he has an inexplicable anger, which is simply unreasonable!

How can war criminals be connived at just to show sympathy and understanding?

He lit a cigar with an unhappy expression, the strong smell of tobacco wafted away, and paced to the windowsill to look into the distance.

In the early morning, the Seine River stretches to the end of the sky, and the traditional European-style high-ridge buildings on both sides of the river are interspersed, like a real picture of Grimm's fairy tales, conveying a rich and exotic atmosphere.

There were several destroyers on guard along the riverbank, and the patrol in steel helmets near the palace walked neatly towards the distant street, rows of steel barrels glittering with an icy sheen, sealing off the palace perimeter from the wind and rain.

Alas!

Sigh softly

Li Fushou's slightly irritable mood calmed down, his eyes looked into the distance deeply, and he began to think about the next step.

The plan was to meet with Wilhelm II for a man-to-man dialogue that would decide the fate of the world, but now it seems that it may not be possible.

The previous consideration was simple, with Li Fushou's current noble status and lofty status, he has a strong international influence, which is enough to stir up the international situation.

No matter what is said or done, the very matter of meeting Wilhelm II in private may greatly hurt the feelings of the people of the Entente led by Britain and France.

The world war has just ended, and the smoke has not yet dissipated.

For the glass hearts of the European people, Li Fushou could only smile helplessly, it seems that the original plan must be changed.

If it is implemented

It is a great pity that I am afraid that it will cause an uproar that will not be conducive to the future foreign policy of the empire based on both friendly relations with Germany and France.

With Li Fushou's lofty status and world-class influence, there are not many people who can really talk to him on an equal footing, George V is one, and Wilhelm II is one.

Who else could there be?

Even in France, President William Taftor had submitted several requests for meetings in a low voice, but the Reich refused on the grounds that the schedule was too busy to take care of.

Blatantly ignored, and didn't even want to talk about a decent reason.

This is the arrogant attitude of the powerful country, which is undoubtedly a great humiliation to the United States, and it is completely on the surface.

I am beating you, bullying you, containing you, dismembering you, the market must be opened, the treaty limiting the number of troops of 100,000 people must be observed, and the debts owed cannot be less than a copper plate with interest, how can you be so arrogant?

The saying that a weak country has no diplomacy is vividly embodied.

The United States dared to turn its face against the Fusang State and dared to launch a war against the Fusang State (the First US-Japan War), but it definitely did not dare to bare its teeth at the Ocean Empire, and it had to make a docile posture of subduity.

If it doesn't like the eye, the European Expeditionary Force will pick you up when they return to the division, which is by no means a threat.

If you look at the two dozen or so new countries that have been born in Europe from fragmentation, except for Austria and Hungary, the others have populations of hundreds of thousands to millions, and their territory is pitiful.

Isn't President William Taft afraid that such a fate will befall the United States?

"Your Majesty, why are you smoking again?" Imperial Concubine Nicole came out of the dormitory, and at a glance saw Li Fushou standing there swallowing clouds and mist, like a fairy.

She ran over with a frightened look on her face, grabbed Li Fushou's arm and persuaded her.

Li Fushou was stunned for a moment, looked at the cigar in his hand and smoked half of it, and then looked at Nicole, who was heartbroken, so he consciously handed over the remaining half of the cigar; "Concubine Ai, don't panic, I'm thinking about things in my heart, I don't care about touching one, don't take it as an example."

"Yes...... Where did this cigar come from? ”

"Oh...... This ......" Li Fushou was stunned by the question.

He can't always say that he has a private inventory, and Secretary-General Gu Kaizhi carries a cigar with him every day in case of emergency.

As the years went by, the queen and the concubine no longer let him smoke, for fear of hindering his health.

This is entirely well-intentioned, and of course appreciative.

was caught red-handed this time, and after the Imperial Concubine Nicole went back, she would definitely tell the queen, and it was inevitable that she would explain again.

So Li Fushou smiled awkwardly; "Hey...... Maybe it's a gift from the Dutch, and those who don't know are not guilty! ”

There is no choice but to let the Dutch carry this black cauldron.

"Hmph, these daring thieves. It is really hateful to dare to speculate on the holy will and flatter and welcome. Nicole was annoyed and had a bad impression of the country.

Nicole has been in the royal palace for more than 30 years, and she has spoken Chinese fluently, and even her way of thinking is inevitably deeply influenced by the harem concubines.

The health of the holy dragon is related to the foundation of the country, how can it be ignored?

Seeing that Nicole blamed the Dutch royal family, Li Fushou hurriedly changed the topic, walked over and put his arm around her shoulder and said; "Regardless of this matter for the time being, I have to participate in the royal family activities today, I love the concubine and go to freshen up and dress up, I will wait for you to have breakfast, the tulip fields that are abundant in the Netherlands are very famous, you will definitely like it."

"I'm not uncommon with Rausch tulips, a bunch of barbarians who don't know how to measure."

"What Concubine Ai said is very true, don't be angry, it's different from what they generally see."

"Holy Lord, after walking through these European countries, I don't think it's good, that is, the two cities of London and Paris are still a little bit like that, and the rest are completely unsightly rural wilderness, to be honest, I miss Australia a little bit."

"Come on, concubine, there are two Nordic countries left, and I'll take you back with you. When you go back, you pass through Seattle, where you grew up as a girl, and you must be able to regain your memories. ”

"Your Majesty, that's what I'm looking forward to the most."

"yes, I know."

Li Fushou gently persuaded Nicole to leave, and they have been together for so many years, growing up with children, and the original relationship has changed into family affection, warm and long.

Now the royal palace is calm and tranquil, which comes from the dignified and virtuous queen Gu, the atmosphere and fairness of the personality, and also has a credit for the good knowledge of the imperial concubine, who is dedicated to raising the prince's sons and grandchildren, and assisting in the harem, so that there is such a good situation of father and son.

Li Fushou turned around and took a deep look into the distance, which was the direction of the castle where Wilhelm II lived in exile.

Forget it, more is better than less, just leave a regret in your heart!

Li Fushou is 60 years old this year, and he is indeed tired and tired from traveling around the world on an ocean-going cruise ship, and if there is no major event of the sky falling apart, it is unlikely that he will visit Europe again in the future.

Even in his current noble position, it is impossible to act arbitrarily, and there must always be one or two scruples.
