Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Chapter 389 Queen Victoria’s strange thoughts

In Buckingham Palace, the scene of Queen Victoria facing Lionel Rothschild's request to deal with the Dutch East India Company is continuing to unfold.

Crown Prince Edward agrees with the current situation. Everyone knows that he still can't let go of the hatred of Princess Alexandra who was "cut off" by William IV and became the Queen of the Netherlands.

As for Prime Minister Disraeli, because of the interests of his own party, family and himself, he took the lead in expressing support for the richest man in Britain without the Queen's objection. His purpose was simple. He hoped that the Tories could Get more support from Rothschild.

Russell is in a wait-and-see state, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Faced with this situation, Queen Victoria looked embarrassed.

If it agrees, Britain will be tightened even more tightly by the financial neck controlled by the Rothschild family.

If you don't agree, it will have "immediate effects" on the current economy and finance of the United Kingdom. Don't look at the old guy in front of you with a smile, but he is a man who eats people without spitting out their bones. After all, the original American Civil War was still It was formed through the connection of the Rothschild family.

That caused millions of casualties, and the mastermind behind all this actually discovered that the benefits that should have been obtained after the American Civil War were not received.

Queen Victoria and Russell had long guessed that the Rothschild family would be dissatisfied, but they did not expect that it would happen so quickly, and they would express their position straightforwardly.

This makes the originally planned tactful delaying tactic now difficult to handle.

The Netherlands' anti-Rothschild move gave her hope, but it was a pity that it was only now starting to become threatening. Countries such as the Netherlands, America, and Tsarist Russia alone are not enough to affect the financial monopoly of the Rothschild family in major countries such as Britain, France, and Austria.

This was not the time to deal with the Rothschild family. Thinking of this, she felt a little pity.

It would be great if the British Empire could now have its own complete national debt issuance and currency issuance like the Netherlands. Also, it seems that the UK needs to establish an enterprise similar to the Dutch East India Company, so that it can balance Leone Rothschild's influence facilitated the return of financial power to the British royal family.

Queen Victoria said to Lionel Rothschild: "In principle, I agree with Mr. Lionel's statement that the Dutch East India Company has offended the interests of the British. However, how should the Dutch East India Company be treated?" What about containment by Indian companies? There should be a charter.”

"Queen, don't worry," Lionel said with a smile, "I'm ready."

Queen Victoria paused and said with a half-smile: "You are ready, which means that Mr. Lionel is really well prepared."

Lionel smiled and said: "There is no way, the Rothschild family has always done things by planning and then taking action. Her Majesty the Queen has also seen it, hasn't she?"

Prince Edward next to him didn't think there was anything wrong with Lionel's words, but Prime Minister Disraeli deliberately pretended not to hear.

Foreign Secretary Russell's displeasure disappeared for a moment, and his face returned to calmness.

Only Queen Victoria's face was a little dark. She looked at Lionel Rothschild and said without anger or joy: "The British government will not stop the Rothschild family's actions against the Dutch East India Company, but neither will the British government." I will support Rothschild's actions. Of course, I want to remind you that I do not want a large-scale financial crisis or economic crisis to occur in the UK. If it does, I'm sorry, the British royal family and the British government may make some orders. Your Excellency should know the unpleasant things about people, and what I say should be able to come true."

"The Rothschild family does not want to see this happen," Lionel Rothschild assured: "And we have prepared a lot of bullets. I think the Dutch East India Company should be either dead or disabled."

Not dead but also crippled?

Crown Prince Edward's face showed excitement. The Rothschild family is one of the top families in Europe. Second only to the royal families of various countries, and because his influence spans several major European powers, his influence is even wider than that of the royal families of various countries. Since they monopolize the finance of the five major countries, Edward, as the Crown Prince of the United Kingdom, naturally understands the person in front of him. How terrifying is the third generation leader of the Rothschild family.

William IV, William IV, let me see how the Netherlands copes with the attack of the Rothschild family, a financial overlord. As long as the Dutch East India Company, the economic pillar of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, is missing, the economy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will definitely fall a lot. Not to mention being on par with countries such as the United Kingdom, it might be knocked back to the level of an industrially backward country like Sweden and Spain.

By then, the Netherlands' status in Europe will definitely plummet, and the International Court of Justice in The Hague, an organization that the Netherlands relies on to exert influence, may have its leadership changed or be disbanded.

Queen Victoria glanced at the excited look of her son, Crown Prince Edward, expressionlessly.

His view of Edward became even more negative, and some new ideas seemed to be starting to grow in his mind, but they had not been finalized yet.

No, the Rothschild family must be suppressed. Perhaps as Viscount Palmerston said, the British mainland is not suitable for the Rothschilds to make a big move to wipe out the Jews.

But Europe can.

"Perhaps Rothschild's actions against the Netherlands and the Kingdom of the Netherlands' counterattack can bring unexpected surprises to me and the UK. However, how to connect with the Netherlands and guide the Netherlands to confront Rothschild? This is a difficult problem"

Queen Victoria's mind was spinning with many thoughts, and suddenly she thought, didn't William IV ask for Louise on behalf of his biological brother, the Crown Prince of Greece, Frederick? But that girl Louise is smart and can be a middleman, that's all.

In the end, Queen Victoria's attitude did not deviate from Lionel's prediction. Both the royal family and the government agreed that he should use the power of the Rothschild family on the British side to block the Dutch East India Company.

Meanwhile, in Berlin, Paris, Vienna and Milan, the scene unfolding in London, England, is unfolding.

The entire upper class of Europe was stirred up by the actions of the Rothschild family.

All people who knew the inside story couldn't help but look at the Netherlands. Some of them were mocking and some were sympathetic. In short, everyone understood that this time, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was going to suffer. The Netherlands The East India Company was in trouble.

No one expected the Dutch East India Company to win the final victory against the Rothschild Company. Even with the support of the Royal Netherlands Government, there is only a doubt between not losing too badly and not being too miserable.

The Dutch East India Company seemed to be doomed.
