Vol 5 Chapter 101: Marriage

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? A news that I don’t know if it is good or bad reached Sofia, and Queen Xenia came to the news—Little Ferdinand’s Life-long issues are about to be resolved.
It's just that the target of the marriage is something that Ferdinand's unexpected, the target of this marriage is actually the Dutch royal family!
Princess Juliana, born in The Hague, Netherlands in 1904, is the only daughter of Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Hendrick.
This is where the problem lies. If nothing else, Princess Juliana will inherit the throne of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the future, and Ferdinand the young will inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
This is a serious question. How should they live their future married life?
But Ferdinand quickly put the problem behind. Under normal circumstances, both he and Queen Wilhelmina still have a long lifespan. This problem will not break out in the short term.
As for the future?
For Ferdinand, after thirty or forty years, all their children's children can make soy sauce. Can they just be on top?
This is also in line with the actual social traditions of Europe. You can take the throne today and pass the throne to your children tomorrow. It is a legal act.
In addition to this, all of Princess Juliana's conditions met Ferdinand's criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law. The identities match, there is no scandal in her private life, and she is healthy without worrying about fertility.
"I have no problem. If Ferdinand is willing, you can officially propose to the Dutch royal family!" Ferdinand thought for a while and said
Will the Dutch royal family refuse?
Ferdinand didn't even think about it. Now the Dutch royal family has had a hard time. The Indonesian rebellion has consumed a lot of vitality in this country.
A large number of families of the dead and soldiers are looking for trouble from the government. If the rebellion cannot be put down in a short period of time, the status of the Dutch royal family will be unstable. This is the time when they most need support!
A political marriage with Bulgaria at this time can not only consolidate the status of the Dutch royal family, but also divert the attention of the people and ease the pressure on the government through this marriage.
After receiving Ferdinand’s reply, Xenia breathed a sigh of relief. There were too many factors considered in the royal marriage, and there were too few suitable candidates, so it was impossible to demand too much in many aspects.
...
"Helena, what do you think of Juliana and Ferdinand?" Xenia asked tentatively
Wilhelmina was shocked and reacted quickly. If the recent rebellion in Indonesia hadn't been too disturbing, she would have discovered this problem.
It is no secret that Xenia found a daughter-in-law for Ferdinand with great fanfare in the European royal family.
Politically speaking, marriage with Bulgaria is a temptation that no European royal family can resist. Today's world is the mainstream era of constitutional monarchy, and there are not many kings who can hold real power.
Bulgaria is one of them, and it is also one of the most powerful countries in the world today. The object of the marriage is the future Bulgarian king, which is destined to have extraordinary political implications in this marriage.
Many people are speculating that Russia and Russia may marry again this time. Now the younger daughter of Nicholas II and the younger cousins ​​of Ferdinand are reaching the age of marriage.
But it doesn't matter, there are not many other things in the Bulgarian royal family, that is, there are many princes, and there are five boys behind, enough for everyone.
The only regret is that the marriage with the later prince has been weakened a lot, and it is difficult to influence Bulgarian politics in the long term.
Wilhelmina thinks so too, but surprisingly, the two royal houses of Russia and Russia have not announced the news of their marriage.
If it is to marry a later prince, Wilhelmina will agree without hesitation. If the crown prince is changed to Ferdinand, she will have a headache.
As Ferdinand feared, in the future, both Ferdinand and Juliana will be heirs to the throne. It is impossible for both of them to make concessions and live in each other's country for a long time. What about this married life?
Queen Wilhelmina’s own marriage is one of the victims of political marriage. Since Juliana was born, this marriage has become a dead end. She does not want her only daughter to follow in her footsteps.
(Queen Wilhelmina's full name: Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Marie; Juliana's full name: Juliana Louise Emma Marie Wilhelmina)
But when she refused this marriage, she was not reconciled because the political benefits contained in it were too great. As soon as the news of the marriage between the two parties is announced, the political crisis facing the Dutch royal family can be solved.
"I think the two of them are very good. Or ask what the parties mean. If they don't object, then..." Queen Wilhelmina made a decision after hesitating again and again.
Being born in the royal family, marriage is destined to be sacrificed, the chance of meeting true love is infinitely small, and being able to respect each other as guests is a model couple.
Like Ferdinand, is he in love with Xenia? The answer is very cruel. They only have the family relationship that has been piled up by time. Love or something has not even begun before it has entered the tomb of marriage.
Therefore, usually royal marriages, as long as the other party is not too annoying, agree to it as soon as possible, otherwise the subsequent results will only be worse.
"Well, of course! We have to be responsible for their marriage. Let them decide this kind of thing by themselves!" Xenia said with a smile
...
In 1926, it was the worst year for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In order to suppress the Indonesian rebellion, the Dutch government organized a counter-insurgency army, but was accidentally cheated by the British.
In less than a year of work, 150,000 troops have been defeated, which has exceeded the capacity of this kingdom. The most important thing is that the counterinsurgency war is still far away.
For the next war, the Kingdom of the Netherlands had to continue to increase its troops. The Dutch government has dispatched nearly 400,000 troops, plus the troops stationed there, and now there are nearly 300,000 troops left.
Almost all the war potential of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has exploded. If it fails again, then they will have to reluctantly abandon the Indonesian colony.
Obviously this is unacceptable to the vested interests in the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands was naturally also affected in the era when the anti-war wave broke out in Europe.
The people demand an end to the war, but at the same time they are unwilling to give up the huge benefits brought by the Indonesian colony. The Dutch government is in trouble!
Such illogical requirements, but in the eyes of ordinary people, these are reasonable, because they are only asking the government to end the war without saying that they will give up the current social welfare benefits?
Can such a thing be explained clearly to them?
Obviously it does not exist. Smart people know that many family members of soldiers advocate an immediate end to the war and let their relatives go home and reunite.
If the Dutch government really abandons the colony, negotiates with the rebels to redeem the captives, and then loses the economic benefits of the colony and the government has to cut their social welfare to fill this hole, then they will soon change their faces.
This is the case with the parties, let alone ordinary people? On the one hand, they are anti-war, and on the other hand, they are unwilling to give up the benefits they have obtained. In such a contradiction, they put pressure on the government.
In this era, how valuable is the Indonesian colony? From the perspective of economic value and military value, it is greater than the sum of all the colonies in Bulgaria!
The resources here are so rich. The agricultural resources are so rich that many local people don’t have to do anything, and they can live by picking wild animals and plants.
The mineral resources are also abundant. It's unreasonable to have oil, natural gas, coal, iron, tin, bauxite, nickel, copper, gold, silver and other mineral resources.
In the 21st century, Indonesia has easily fed a population of 200 to 300 million, and directly relying on mineral resources exports accounted for more than 10% of the country’s GDP.
It is also because the natural conditions here are too superior, and the local people have no will to fight. The fourth most populous country in the world does not have much presence in the world.
Even if it is so reluctant to make progress, Indonesia still relies on abundant resources to become one of the top ten economies in the world.
The Dutch naturally don't want to let go of such a treasure. For example, the rubber used in Bulgaria is almost all imported from Indonesia.
The changes in the main production areas of rubber in later generations were mainly caused by the domestic turmoil in Indonesia. The ordinary people felt that it was too troublesome to plant rubber and gradually declined.
If someone does statistics, they will find that even in this era, Indonesia's economy has surpassed that of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
...
With the coming of Christmas, the Dutch royal family and the Bulgarian royal family simultaneously announced the good news of their marriage to the world. This good news is not only for the parties, but also good news for European countries.
The Netherlands is just a small kingdom. No matter how the Bulgarian-Dutch relations change, it will not affect the world situation. European countries can rest assured that the shadow of the Russian-Russian merger has disappeared. The British government even held a banquet to celebrate the good news.
Compared to Bulgaria's continued marriage with the Russian royal family, they are more willing to see that Bulgaria and the Dutch royal family are married.
After all, the power of the Russian-Russian alliance is too great. In the eyes of the British, if the Russian Empire had not broken out a civil war, now the two countries might have merged.
In the eyes of the outside world, the possibility of the merger of Russia and Russia has not disappeared. If the two royal houses marry again, the future integration of the two royal houses will almost become inevitable.
No one thinks that the young Akreshe, who is seriously ill, can survive Nicholas II, and the possibility of even leaving offspring is almost zero.
In this context, the czar’s inheritance rights will fall to the daughter of Nicholas II. In order to maximize the benefits, let the younger daughter become the union of the czar and the little Ferdinand and achieve a smooth transition after the merger of the two countries is almost inevitable. s Choice.
It can be said that Ferdinand and Nicholas II signed a treaty for the establishment of the Slavic Federal Empire between the two countries. Not only did they deceive the Russians, but even the whole world was deceived.
Although both countries have adopted high-level secrecy measures, this secret agreement was exposed when the Germans conquered St. Petersburg. At that time, both Russia and Russia denied it, saying it was a German conspiracy.
But everyone still believes, because the merger of Russia and Russia not only has sufficient benefits, but also has a deep civil foundation. The people of both countries support the establishment of a federal empire. The only dispute is the issue of dominance.
If the heir of the union of the two royal families becomes the new imperial emperor, it is estimated that no one will oppose it, and in this way everyone will be given equal status in name.
It can be said that the sudden civil war in the Russian Empire saved the British Empire's world hegemony, otherwise a behemoth that occupied most of the world island was born.
Of course, this is what the outside world thinks. Although Ferdinand has been tempted, he finally gave up with reluctance. The benefits of this are indeed very large, but the interests of the country are not equal to the interests of the royal family!
The king of Bulgaria, he laid the foundation, as long as the descendants do not toss around, they are almost as stable as Mount Tai.
But the emperor of the Federation Empire is not so easy to do. Internally, there is the messy problems of Russia, and externally, there is hostility from countries all over the world. Without superb political, military, and diplomatic capabilities, we simply cannot sit in this position.
The British have always believed that the sudden outbreak of the rebellion in the Russian Empire saved the world!
Originally, the Russian empire had always been dominant in the alliance between Bulgaria and the Russian Empire. Once the two countries merge, the Russian Empire will become the main body of this new empire.
With the outbreak of the civil war in the Russian Empire, all this has changed. They no longer have the strength to suppress Bulgaria, and Bulgaria also no longer has the strength to suppress the Russian Empire.
The two sides will definitely fight for dominance. The specific manifestation is that Bulgaria allowed the Russian Empire to break out and acquiesced to Britain and France to support the rebels.
These were interpreted by the British as a battle for dominance between the two sides, so John Bull did not hesitate to invest a lot of resources to allow the Russian Civil War to continue.
In their view, this kind of struggle will surely escalate with the passage of time. Even the struggle between Austria and Hungary in the Austro-Hungarian Empire ended up crying for independence.
What's more, the two countries that have not yet begun to merge Russia? The marriage between the Bulgarian royal family and the Dutch royal family was regarded by them as a political victory for the British Empire!
Well, these are the statements of the British media. In Ferdinand’s view, the British government’s approach was just to divert the public’s attention and ease their pressure on public opinion.
As the formulation and implementer of this policy, the Lloyd-George cabinet, and the Stanley Baldwin cabinet, who continued this policy to make the plan a reality, will share this achievement.
No matter how you look at it, it is the serious political consequences brought by the Stanley Baldwin cabinet to resolve the current poor performance of the British Empire in the foreign war.
The British people were satisfied. Suddenly they discovered that the British Empire had gone through a dangerous period, but fortunately it was resolved by the government using political means.
For a time, the private support rate of Stanley Baldwin's cabinet directly reached its peak.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Russia and Russia can unite the world island. The population of this combination exceeds the total population of European countries, and the European continent can be flattened by human sea tactics.
The Royal Navy of the British Empire is invincible in the world, and the British Empire Army should forget it. Are the lessons of the First World War not enough?
British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin publicly announced that the current war in the British Empire ~EbookFREE.me~ is to avoid a larger war in the future. This is for the long-term interests of the empire!
In order to increase its persuasiveness, the British Empire also took the initiative to create enemies for itself. Japan, Russia, Bulgaria, and France have all made the list.
In the new round of risk factor analysis rankings, Japan gloriously dominated the first place. Surprisingly, the Russian Empire ranked second, and France and Bulgaria ranked third or fourth.
Ferdinand knows that this ranking was created by the London media that supports the Conservative Party.
Japan can be ranked first. That is the credit of Mr. Churchill. Without propagating the Japanese threat theory, how can he explain that the colonial rebellion in Southeast Asia has not been put down?
The Russians ranked second, mainly because of the acceptance of the British people. After all, in the newly emerging Bulgaria, they have a fart feeling. In the consciousness of many old people, Bulgaria is still a small country.
This subconscious judgment cannot be changed overnight. As a news media, it is of course necessary to meet the needs of the people. Otherwise, who do they sell the newspaper to?
Originally, the London government launched the war in Afghanistan this time to prevent Bulgarian forces from penetrating into Central Asia, and it directly turned into resisting the expansion of the Russian Empire into Central Asia among the people.
It is estimated that God does not understand, where the courage of the Russian Empire in the civil war to expand to Central Asia!
These don't care about the media. They are just to create a topic. They can sell more newspapers, earn more advertising fees, and help the cabinet relieve political pressure only incidentally.
