v3 Chapter 144: William IV had no right of inheritance

As Isabel II stood up, all the heads of state in the venue showed strangeness.

The Mediterranean Sea belongs to everyone, and we do not want to allow one family to dominate. This is the consensus of European countries.

William IV hit Italy's dead end this time. In order to prevent the French Empire from dominating the Mediterranean, the United Kingdom actually murmured in France to help the predecessor of Italy, the Kingdom of Sardinia, to break away from Austria, which abruptly destroyed the relationship between Italy and France. Support Italy to get rid of France's meddling in the country's control, and establish for itself a French anti-Austrian state in the Mediterranean.

Now, with the rapid development of Italy, Queen Victoria naturally does not want to see her. This Italy used to rely on Britain to fight against Fao. The relationship has changed. Therefore, this time Italy wants to take Greece. With the excuse that William IV sent, it is She readily accepted.

"I also think that His Majesty William III is good. I have experience and I am burdened. It is a good candidate to go to Greece to inherit the throne and go into battle lightly."

After Queen Victoria, King Frederick VII of Denmark was annoyed that Louis I had dragged Denmark into the water, so he simply said: "I think William III is the writer's choice, messy Greece needs a good writer. An experienced king succeeds and is able to balance relations with other countries. With experience, who is more suitable than him?"

Others have also spoken out.

Basically, they all support it, or they don’t oppose it. Generally speaking, Greece needs an heir from a small and medium-sized country, so as not to destroy the balance of a big country, and among the small and medium-sized countries, the Netherlands rarely quarrels with other countries. And the relationship is not bad. Even the United Kingdom has chosen to support it when its relationship with the Netherlands is so bad. What else can other countries object to?

Of course, after the support of Alexander II, the Tsarist king, only the Ottoman Sultan and Joseph I of Austria, Emmanuel II and Louis I of Italy were left.

This time, although the heir did not require unanimous support for the candidate to be competent, if the four countries did not agree, it would be based on the influence of the four countries in the Mediterranean Sea. Portugal is in a key position in and out of the Atlantic Ocean, Italy, needless to say, is a boot deep into the Mediterranean, and the Ottoman Empire is in the eastern part of the Mediterranean.

Austrian influence in the Adriatic Gulf.

This will be a huge obstacle to the rule of Greece after William III, for fear of not recognizing his inheritance in the future.

Therefore, many people are looking at William IV and several heads of state who have not yet made a statement.

Carl XV and Frederick VII were secretly anxious. They had formed an alliance with the Netherlands. If William III of the Netherlands took Greece, there would be many benefits for the two countries.

See William IV look over.

Ottoman Sultan (Sultan King, Emperor) Abdulaziz said unexpectedly: "I also agree with everyone that William III is indeed suitable for controlling Greece"

Joseph I was incredulous. He was very puzzled why the sultan chose to agree with the other party, but when he saw the two of them, Emmanuel II, and recalled the seemingly 'kind' reminder from William IV just now, He already understood the problem.

In the end, he also sighed inwardly, and then said: "Austria has no problem with William III's inheritance of the Kingdom of Greece"

Louis I and Emmanuel II glanced at each other, and the former showed his best expression,

The latter nodded wryly.

Louis I was naturally not reconciled to William III winning like this, especially not wanting to make William IV too proud.

So, he stood up and said: "We Portugal naturally have no objection to His Majesty William III's succession, but I want to raise a question, that is, if His Majesty William III dies in old age, who will inherit this king, and how? inherit?"

Everyone was stunned, and William IV was also stunned.

Yes, it is impossible for William IV to inherit directly. In that case, if both the Netherlands and Greece belong to the same king, then William IV's status in Europe will be greatly improved.

Even Queen Victoria looked at him with ill will this time, suspecting that William IV was paying attention to this from the beginning, and William I and others were wary of William IV.

Even Frederick VII and Karl XV looked at William IV with fear. The Netherlands is good with them now, but there is still a lot of gap between the age of the two and William IV. If they are a hundred years later, a strong Netherlands will occupy an overwhelming position in the Nordic Union, Denmark and Sweden. Become a vassal of the Netherlands, which is really hard to say.

Good Louis I!

Only at this time did he look directly at Louis I,

"This guy is two years older than me, 24 years old.

The succession to the Portuguese throne is also only a month before my succession to the Dutch throne.

I originally thought that he was a new recruit, and it would be good to be able to exercise real rule in Portugal, but now it seems that although this guy has not crossed, he is a political elite, and soon the situation that stabilized Portugal can be done in a short period of time. He won the major factions in Portugal in less than a year, and looked abroad, looking at this situation, it is obviously a very conceited person.

Now that he has stumbled upon me again and again, it is obvious that he wants to compete with me. "

William IV looked at Louis I and said secretly: "Unfortunately, many people don't know that if history remains unchanged, my father William III was married to Austria not long after because of the death of his mother. , and gave birth to a baby girl in 1879, that is the future Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands in the original world. I just don't know if this life will continue, but William IV has been here for so long, but There are still people who should be there. He doesn't think that Queen Wilhelmina, who is the most beautiful and future half-sister in European history, will not appear. If she comes to inherit the Greek throne, who can say anything? "

The heads of several major powers who saw the first one looked at him with scrutiny.

William IV continued to smile. He smiled at Louis I: "It's not bad. I declare here that I will not inherit the Greek throne. As for my brother Frederick, it is possible."

With William IV announcing that he would not inherit the Greek throne, the position of the Greek king has been settled, and that is William III.

The meeting also agreed on the result of the meeting, that is, William IV did not inherit the throne of the kingdom of Greece.

On December 1, 1862, the Paris Conference officially ended, and the results of the conferences were officially announced to the public. William III of the Netherlands was officially recognized by all countries as the new king of Greece, and announced that on January 1, 1863, he would be dispatched by various countries. , the succession ceremony was held in Athens.

As the results of this meeting caused a sensation in various countries, William IV had no right of inheritance, which means that his younger brother Frederick and the heir to the Grand Duke of Luxembourg became the sole heir to the Kingdom of Greece?

This made Prince Frederick of Luxembourg happy when he heard the news, and there were more people around him than before. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
