Red Alert 1895

When the guy who proposed that Wang Guorui was married was obviously a nobleman, he proposed that Wang Guorui was already married, so naturally he couldn't marry their queen. And this reason made everyone curse in their hearts. Obviously, they didn't know good or bad about this guy, so they actually raised this reason. Is he the only one who knows that Wang Guorui is married? When Wang Guorui came to Europe for a visit, he always brought his wife with him, but did you say anything? Everyone didn't say anything, they were all pretending to be confused. Although everyone knows that Wang Guorui is married and has many lovers of various kinds. Some time ago, there were rumors of an affair with the famous dancer Duncan. But who can refuse on this ground? There are gossips everywhere about such a person of status, and there are even bad debts among various nobles in many countries. It was even later rumored that the husband of the Queen of England also had illegitimate children everywhere, so the marriage between nobles did not depend on fame or life style, but on profit. Marriage will only be carried out when the interests of the country and the family require it.

Now that Wang Guorui married Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands this time, it is actually beneficial for the Netherlands to return to the colony. As long as decades later, after Wang Guorui and Wilhelmina burped, wouldn't the colony return to the Dutch king again? Anyway, this is Wilhelmina's dowry, only Wilhelmina's own children can get the inheritance right, and Wang Guorui has no way to give it to a son born to another woman. That would be great. In order to return to this colony, everyone naturally hopes to marry the two families. Get it back through marriage. As for Wang Guorui being married, this is not a reason at all, and everyone subconsciously forgot. deliberately forgot. Anyway, whether Wang Guorui is married or not has nothing to do with them. As for whether the queen's married life is happy or not, this has nothing to do with them, as long as they can return to this territory after decades, that's fine.

But there are people who can't open which pot and lift which pot. Doesn't this make everyone depressed? Although everyone knew that Wang Guorui was married, but they couldn't say it out. When the marriage failed, Wang Guorui became angry from embarrassment. What if we directly force the Netherlands? The Dutchman knew that he was no longer the sea coachman he was back then. The Netherlands is now in decline, and even the former colony of Taiwan can beat the **** out of them, so of course they dare not mess around. It is already very good to be able to obtain territory through marriage in this way. So naturally no one will have an opinion.

But. This reason is still a very important reason, because monogamy is a long-standing tradition in Europe, and they cannot accept polygamy in China. Although they accepted it in their hearts, they couldn't take the initiative to propose it in reality, because there were so many people offended. Years of traditions are not so easy to avoid, so everyone has a headache, and they don't know how to solve the problem of Wang Guorui being married.

"I want to say a few words about this. I think that any marriage is the fusion of two families. And people of our identity marry. It should be a cooperation between two civilizations in two regions. And our country and civilization We should respect each other and seek common ground while reserving differences. We have a common goal. That is to promote friendship between China and the Netherlands. Taiwan needs a large number of European industrial products, and the Netherlands needs Taiwan, a huge market. They are also our common interests. Of course, we all have conflicts, including our conflicts regarding the Nanyang colonies. Also, as for the differences in civilization between our two countries, this is also a very important issue. "

"We in the east have allowed polygamy since ancient times, but the west is very strict about this. This is an important difference between our eastern and western civilizations. And I think we can use the idea of ​​seeking common ground while reserving differences to make changes. We are safeguarding the interests of both of us, that is, The market still has common interests in terms of orders, but we also need to respect the different opinions of both parties. Since we are a fusion and cooperation between two countries and two civilizations, we should respect each other's customs. And since the queen of your country is going to marry For me, I think we should also respect our Chinese customs to a certain extent. There was a saying in Rome back then, which was to do like the Romans, and we also have a proverb in China. When the queen of your country married me , I think we can respect our oriental traditions."

"Of course, I will also respect European traditions. Europe believes in Christianity, and I think I can have a wedding in accordance with Western religious etiquette, and promise everyone that I will only marry a woman in accordance with Western etiquette in my life, not Carry out polygamy according to Western etiquette. This not only ensures our common interests, but also respects each other's traditional customs, so I think we can seek common ground while reserving differences in this way."

After hearing this, many Dutch MPs actually began to applaud, because Wang Guorui's words were so good, and the idea of ​​seeking common ground while reserving differences was also reflected in advance. Because this is the late nineteenth century, the whole world is not full of competition and cooperation in all aspects like that in the middle of the twentieth century, and the whole world in this period is dominated by the West. However, Western countries are also weak and strong, and hegemony is still very popular in this era. Under this kind of hegemonic thinking, those small countries are not doing very well, especially the weak western countries like the Netherlands.

Everyone is oppressed by these big countries, but they can't have a suitable guiding ideology in terms of political ideology that allows them to unite. European civilization and culture are too complex. Although they are all Caucasians, they have too many nationalities. But they don't have a profound cultural background like China, which radiates this kind of country and even the whole of Asia. The ethnic conflicts and various traditions between them are the reasons why they cannot cooperate. However, Wang Guorui put forward the idea of ​​seeking common ground while reserving differences of this great man of later generations, which immediately made them all feel refreshed. All truly smart politicians understand this point. As long as they can seek common ground while reserving differences, with this appropriate guiding ideology, it will be easy for weak countries to form and cooperate with strong countries in the future. This is a guiding ideology, which has influenced China for many years in later generations, and is even an important means of China's foreign exchanges in later generations.

But now it is used by Wang Guorui, and the use of both of them can respect each other's cultural customs while ensuring the interests of both parties. This is the so-called seeking common ground while reserving differences. As long as there is this idea as a guide, then even if Wang Guorui marries a wife in China, so what? Anyway, Wang Guorui only needs to marry their queen according to Western customs, and not marry a second Western woman according to Western customs. Even this guiding ideology of seeking common ground while reserving differences can be used in many international politics. This is why the Dutch attach importance to it.

"Now, everyone, please start voting. Please raise your hands if you agree with Her Majesty the Queen to marry the leader of China's Taiwan region, Wang Guorui!" The chairman of the parliament immediately began to announce.

Soon, those members of parliament also began to express their approval, obviously more than 50%. Because Wang Guorui promised that only Wilhelmina's children would inherit the Dutch dowry colony in the future, this is the reason why they all agreed. Next, Wang Guorui plans to purchase a large number of materials and industrial products in the Netherlands every year, which can drive the employment of countless Dutch people and a lot of economic development. What the Netherlands needs most at present is the market, and Taiwan provides them with a market, so that they can all have a sufficient foundation for development. The condition for providing the market is that Wang Guorui must marry Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, so that they can be regarded as getting these orders. Otherwise, they will definitely get a lot of things.

And seeing that the members of parliament agreed, the Dutch Prime Minister Burgesius was not reconciled immediately, obviously he still wanted to get benefits.

"Governor Wang, since we have a dowry according to our Western customs, do you want to follow your Eastern rules and give us some betrothal gifts? Otherwise, if you just follow our Western customs~www.wuxiax. com~ That’s not too good. You also have to give us some betrothal gifts according to your customs?” Bourgesius said immediately.

"Bride gift? What kind of gift do you want?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Of course, you are the leader of the Taiwan region, so our Queen of the Netherlands is also the king of a country, so naturally the bride price cannot be casual." Burgesius said.

Of course Wang Guorui knew that this Bourgesius was obviously blackmailing, but Wang Guorui had to give them some good things. However, as long as it is not excessive, then it must be given, otherwise it will not sound good in my own country! Even if the queen is married, it really doesn't sound good if you don't give the other party some suitable bride price. What's more, she is a queen, who is much taller than a princess. After all, a queen is also the lord of a country in China. If she does not give a generous gift to marry the lord of a country, even the people in her own country will not understand. Otherwise, if everything had to be paid by the Dutch side, wouldn't people in the country regard Wang Guorui as a soft food?

"In this case, then we just want three Sovereign-class battleships." Burgesius said immediately.

"What? Sovereign-class battleship?" Everyone at the scene was shocked. Isn't this too much for a lion? (to be continued)
