v3 Chapter 99： Rifle and bayonet
Amsterdam.
"How's the military's training going recently?"
William IV changed the subject and asked Mark Rude, the chief of the general staff next to him.
"We earn the respect of the world with the sharpness of our swords, not the sharpness of our minds"
Chief of the General Staff Mark Rude is a very serious soldier. After graduating from Leiden University at the age of 22, he took the diploma from the highest university in the Netherlands and went to the University of Paris for further studies. After graduating with honors at the age of 24 , and went to Oxford University for further study for two years, and returned to China after getting the certificate at the age of 26.
Just when everyone who knew him was full of longing for his future and felt that he would choose a decent and rich job, he was stunned and chose to serve in the army, as an ordinary person, and The year he received military training was 1839, because that year the Netherlands was forced to recognize Belgium's independence. He had a strong patriotism and joined the army because he felt humiliated.
With his tenacious attitude and extensive professional knowledge, he quickly got a promotion, a small promotion in two years, a big promotion in five years, and now he has been living in the military for 23 years. Climb to the position of the No. 1 figure in the Dutch Army.
Twenty-three years in the Army have forged his iron will.
"Your Majesty, therefore, the Netherlands should vigorously develop military weapons. After advancing military reforms, both the army and the navy need to simultaneously innovate and innovate technology. Look at the British Empire, because of the navy, it can run rampant in several oceans and establish countless colonies. We in the Netherlands once The brilliance lies under their sharp naval guns. Therefore, I strongly support the vigorous development of the superior navy in the East India. The mainland should also increase the construction of the navy, simultaneously attract the attention of the British, and increase the cooperation with Sweden. to distract countries from their concerns,"
After he complained, he said: "The Army has manufactured a semi-automatic rifle with a matching bayonet in accordance with the craftsmanship provided by His Majesty, and has started training. The number of people currently trained, in units of 10,000 people, takes turns on the New Guinea peninsula. If three If we can form an army within a month, then we will be able to complete the transformation of the two armies over there. At that time, I am afraid that the title of the first elite soldier in the French army can be transferred."
........
At the same time, at the residence of Crown Prince Christian, Crown Prince of Denmark, to the north.
"Father, are you worried that the German Confederation will oppose your succession to the throne of Denmark?"
The King of Frederick County asked Crown Prince Christian, and besides them, there were also adult Andersen, but a young woman just happened to pass by. fascinated by this topic.
So she withdrew to knock on the door of her father's office, turned her ears sideways, and listened intently.
She is the eldest daughter of Crown Prince Christian, Alexandra of Denmark, who just returned from the Netherlands.
I saw the voice coming from the room again, but this time, it was her teacher. After Andersen sighed, he spoke slowly.
"Prince Christian, you and I have known each other for many years. To be honest, I think the current situation in Denmark is more dangerous than what you and I thought at the time. Prussia has tested our bottom line again and again. The concession of His Majesty Landrick VII will be satisfied by Prussia, and he can choose to be humble.
But I underestimated Bismarck's ambition and overestimated Denmark's weight. With our indifference and dissatisfaction with Sweden after the first Schleswig war in 1848, the relationship between the two countries has been so bad that although Frederick VII is mending these years, the two countries have already No longer intimacy, the Nordic Alliance, can rest.
"Looking at how Sweden would rather sign a military and economic alliance with the Netherlands, instead of looking for distance, Denmark's diplomatic status in Sweden is conceivable, and it is no longer Sweden's most important position."
Netherlands?
When she heard the word "Holland", Alexandra was shocked. She thought of her recent crazy actions in the Netherlands. God, as a member of the royal family, she even asked to talk to William directly in the Netherlands. That guy had a private meeting, and when he thought that he appeared outside the Privy Council, and the eyes of the Dutch high-ranking ministers with strange eyes came out from the inside, it was nothing at the time, and now his face heats up when he thinks about it.
God shame!
A familiar voice finally came from the room, and her father, Crown Prince Christian, spoke.
"Sigh, Your Majesty and I understand this, but Sweden has always been on guard against our forces in Norway. Norway has been confirmed by various countries from Denmark to Sweden since 1815. It has been almost 50 years. Sweden's assimilation policy has failed. , even made Norway have the determination to be independent, and they suspected that it was us Denmark who supported them. Therefore, they always maintained cooperation and vigilance, which is why it was difficult for us to achieve the high level of cooperation between Sweden and the Netherlands."
There was silence in the room.
"It turned out to be talking about the feeling of the alliance between Sweden and the Netherlands in the recent Copenhagen Daily News."
Alexandra breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they were talking about something, especially about Holland.
Never thought, she just breathed a sigh of relief,
However, a piece of news about her came out of the room, causing her to lose her mind instantly.
"The Netherlands has completed all kinds of beautiful movements in Western Europe recently. Even His Majesty Frederick VII agrees. Frederick, you have to look carefully. His Majesty William IV is your age In comparison, you are only three years older than you, but now you are in charge of a country and face the powerful politicians of the old powers.
By the way, what is your opinion on your marriage with your sister? "
marriage?
Talking about her marriage?
Although born in the royal family, I have long known that the freedom of marriage has automatically locked it in the box But when I heard the tone of my father, I asked the eldest brother Frederick instead of her thoughts. At that time, her heart was full of loss.
"Father, I think it's better to ask Alexandra's opinion."
"Prince, indeed, you should understand that little guy Alexandra better than I do. She is strong on the outside, but she is actually very emotional on the inside. If she decides her marriage silently, she may have a rebellious mentality."
Alexandra was taken aback by Andersen's words. It seemed that the teacher knew her temperament very well.
"This is not the Tsarist Empire, and members of the royal family can only marry if they approve or not. Most royal families in Europe don't have that kind of hobby.
But that's right, I'll ask the kid."
Hearing this, Alexandra walked away quickly, because he and she heard footsteps coming closer and closer.
