In the past, Chen Tian certainly didn’t dare to imagine that he would become a political marriage "sacrifice", but now he can accept it calmly and wear an engagement ring in the high-profile young fiancee, but I don’t know what this scene reminds him of a film a long time ago-"My wife is under 1 year old"
Destroy the day Chapter seventy-nine Double happiness
As night gradually fell on the famous palace in Potsdam, Germany, the Palace of Sorrow became more lively than in the daytime. An engagement dinner attracted worldwide attention and brought together the most important people from all over Europe. It seemed that it was not only the marriage that was bullying, but also getting along with each other. People wondered about the real significance of the German giant’s new move.
After receiving several praises and blessings, and drinking one glass after another of red wine, Chentian’s head was a little tired, and he finally escaped from the sight of everyone. He went to the balcony on one side of the hall and with the careful attendants, the exquisite glass door was reunited, and Chentian’s world was much quieter.
"Father!"
Sasha turned to say hello to her father on the balcony.
"Oh, you are here! How? Don’t you like this party? " Chen Tian’s mouth is full of alcohol, but his head is calm because of the refreshing breeze.
"Well, it’s too noisy!" Sasha light replied.
"Yes, it’s too noisy!" Chen Tian repeated her words for a few minutes, and they leaned shoulder to shoulder until Chen Tian took the initiative to break this strange atmosphere.
"Don’t you say something?"
"Oh, actually … I’m still very happy for my father!" Sasha said slowly, "I’ve been worried that you won’t get out of the shadow of your mother’s death and that you will live in loneliness for a long time!" Now it seems that you have thought about it! "
"really?" Chen Tian turned to look at her. "If I have another child … I mean, aren’t you worried that others will take away your father’s love?"
Sasha calmly shook his head. "No, my father has sacrificed too much in our body over the years. Anderes and I have always seen it in our eyes. In fact, we all hope that you can live your life again! Is … "
At this point, Sasha’s eyes showed a grateful look. It is true that after Lisa left, all the thoughts of heaven and earth were put on military and political affairs and these two children. If we must prioritize them, then the weight of these two children is no less than other things.
"Are you worried that political marriage can’t bring real happiness to your father?" Chen Tian has guessed from Sasha’s expression.
"hmm!" Sasha put away her laughter. In fact, she has always been afraid that she will become a "political sacrifice" and even more afraid that the interests of the country and the royal family will force her to do so.
"What I mean is that she will give up her dream to marry a bad old man at a young age!" Of course, she is the only protagonist in the banquet hall at this time, and she will soon become the new queen of the German Empire.
"Bad old man?" Sasha was surprised and couldn’t help laughing. She didn’t expect Chentian to be so joking at this time. She repeatedly corrected, "No, my father is a great hero in the world and the greatest monarch ever. You have iron determination, unparalleled talent and broad mind!"
"There is still a lot of age!" Chen Tianxiao added with a smile
"Father!" Sasha is funny and grumpily shouted a.
"Father, this is an old cow eating young grass, isn’t it?" Chentian raised his eyebrows and made a strange expression, which is a very common metaphor in later generations, but it is a unique statement for Germans in this era.
“嗯父皇好福气啊！”
莎莎突然有种被打败感觉前所有担心在这一刻似乎都变得毫必要了
“难得古板军人终于想要结婚了！”辰天停顿了片刻眼睛盯着远处问道“说心里话你对父皇这桩婚事怎么看？”
莎莎并没有直接回答而是反问“父皇喜欢朱丽安娜公主吗？”
莎莎在这里是“喜欢”而不是“爱”因她知道自己父亲是不会再爱其他女人了
“没有什么特别感觉似乎是一个有点向小公主！”辰天实话实说
“向？啊哦父皇您恐怕还不太了解您未婚妻啊！”莎莎眨巴眨巴眼睛“就我对她地了解她是一个挺热情、大方人而且颇有皇室风度和气质！她懂得骑马、射箭对经济还颇有研究呢！”
“噢！是吗！”辰天淡淡应了一句对于莎莎所说这些他并不是不知道而他所说对方“向”是因她来到这里后表现这个词来兴溶最贴切了
莎莎也看出了这点“父皇您也不太担心她也许是一时还不太适应慢慢就会好起来！”
“其实……我是想借这次联姻来减轻整个欧洲对我们敌意顺便借助荷兰力量稳固帝国战后对东南亚地统治！”辰天将目光转向远处在那模糊黑影中数百计德国士兵组成了一张难想象严密警戒网这就是德国目前态势――表面看起来比风光实际却要处处防来自暗处冷箭
"European balance has always been expected by monarchs of all countries. Napoleon’s peerless talent made France rise, but it also attracted the joint strangulation of all countries. Although Napoleon’s failure in France has subjective reasons, most Europeans objectively do not want the balance to be broken! Therefore, although Germany now controls more than half of Europe and large colonies, there are not a few people who are wary and hostile to Germany! Many people want to see a situation in which Germany and Japan lost both sides. "
Chen Tian slowly expressed his concern that the Dutch marriage he chose ultimately wanted to reduce the hostility of European countries to resource-rich Southeast Asia. Although in another world, all Southeast Asian countries chose independence after World War II, without the inducement of World War II, the rule of European forces would not end so easily.
After thinking for a long time, Sasha said, "Does my father want me to marry Mitchell for this reason?"
"No, that’s out of consideration for your lifelong happiness!" Chen Tian said firmly, "The British Kingdom is supported by us. Considering that the Prussian royal family and the Bavarian royal family have always been close, we don’t need political marriage to consolidate Germany’s Britain. I want you to be with Mitchell because looking at the whole Europe, he is the best for you! This is a letter to the Bavarian royal family and a letter to Mitchell! "
"Father …" Sasha choked up. "I have always been destined to be a national political sacrifice!"
"Don’t silly child! No one will force you to be with someone you don’t love. No one! "
Chen Tian put her arms around Sasha’s shoulder and felt that slight trembling caused by sobs.
When Chentian and Sasha returned to the banquet hall, the atmosphere inside was still more lively than before, while when Chentian took Sasha to the center of the hall, people came to watch them quietly.
"today is a very important day for Germany and the German royal family! We feel very honored to be able to marry the Dutch royal family in-laws. After the Millennium Exhibition, Europe is moving towards a Europe without barriers. We believe that the era of freedom, equality and fraternity is coming soon! "
After saying these words, Chen Tian turned his attention to ruprecht’s father not far away and motioned them to go to the front desk.
"Today, we are very honored to have invited King Robert I of Britain to attend the engagement party at Al Breathitt Palace of Britain! I believe everyone can see the post-war reconstruction and prosperity of Britain. History has proved that a stable and friendly Britain is very important for European peace! Let’s thank the great Robert I.
Thanks to the great British kingdom! "
In Taiwan, the German royal family and politicians have dedicated their palms to the former Bavarian king and marshal of the German Sixth Army. Judging from the reaction of others, ruprecht’s popularity in European countries is not bad.
Generally speaking, the palms are very warm.
"I am also honored to announce that my daughter Princess Sasha of the German Empire will hold a grand engagement ceremony in three months!"
At this moment, many people are greatly relieved, and the long-term speculation has finally been confirmed. In the eyes of Germans, the princess should marry a person who fully deserves her identity, and as Chen Tian said, Mitchell is one of the few candidates in Europe at present.
When Taiwanese palm once again remembered that shy Mitchell and equally shy Sasha were together, they had a heart-to-heart conversation through Sasha. Only then did they know that Sasha had a resistance to Mitchell because of her aversion to political marriage, but when all psychological problems had been solved, she said that she was very happy to have such an unattractive but mature and diligent king together in Mitchell, ruprecht, not to mention the fact that she simply took this opportunity to announce the two young people’s affairs. This is the common "double happiness" in China customs.
In the elegant melody, two pairs of distinguished couples-to-be are dancing in the center of the gorgeous hall, with steady steps, a uniform and traces of years, which make him more mature and domineering than others, while his partner, Princess juliana, is spinning briskly around the circle. A pair of beautiful young salsa next to Mitchell is a perfect match between beauty and love, which will be the best testimony when people talk about marriage. Looking at this young, beautiful and black princess in front of her, she has an indescribable feeling. Although she has always maintained a polite and respectful expression to herself, she has that kind of feeling in her bones.
God knows it’s not that juliana wants less marriage. Not now.
In 1929, the whole European monarchy was still the main theme of various countries’ systems: Germany, Britain, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Romania, Greece, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, etc. And the royal families of these countries are more or less related, so they are called "European royal families". There are not many women of marriageable age among the "European royal families", but there is a saying among the people of princess royal in the German Empire that whoever marries Princess Sasha can get a powerful German military.
So in the "Sasha effect", princess royal, the Netherlands, is also the first heir to the Dutch throne. juliana Louise Emma Mary Wilhelmina looks much inferior. Not to mention that the Dutch trading kingdom has always lacked enough political words in Europe. Although Germany defeated Britain, France and Russia to become the European hegemon, it has remained politically neutral in the Netherlands, but its economy has been influenced by this powerful neighbor. It can be said that German capital has deeply invaded the internal organs of the Netherlands, and it is very important for the German government to be willing. The Dutch royal family may become poor overnight!
In this context, the combination of the German emperor and the Dutch princess surprised many Germans, because Germany did not seem to need the strength of the Dutch, on the contrary, the Dutch were very optimistic about it, because this marriage made them see security.
The food and wine were digested for just over ten hours, and the noisy banquet would not last until the next day. In the next few days, the guests continued to disperse. After calling the high command staff for several important meetings, Chentian also left, but instead of returning to Berlin with the generals, she took Sasha Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard and her party on a special train to the Netherlands. This was a return visit after the engagement ceremony, but Chentian’s main purpose was to inspect and review the Dutch army that was about to fight, just like the accompanying German military delegation.
On June 10, 1929, the Kingdom of the Netherlands declared war on Japan, and the Dutch military immediately announced that the navy would send warships to join the German-Turkish joint expedition fleet, and the Sixth Army would also organize expeditionary forces to participate in the war in Asia.
Chen Tianhe and Germany are not prepared to rely on the Dutch army to attack the city, but each more participating country coupled with Germany’s powerful offensive, the "image of justice" will increase in people’s minds, and the Dutch large-scale overseas merchant fleet will also be justified by the Coalition forces
Destroy the day Chapter 10 Blood and fire in the South China Sea
When it comes to the Netherlands, many people will think of windmills, tulips, low-lying countries and land reclamation that has lasted for hundreds of years. In addition, the Netherlands is also a merchant kingdom, where there are many trade and business opportunities, the world’s most refined businessmen!
Dutch people like businessmen’s eyes to evaluate a thing, but sometimes something that seems to be deficient can reflect their fine eyes, which can be seen from Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard’s smug and confident manner.
The white viewing platform is located around the largest pier in Rotterdam, which has already become a red, white and blue ocean. Tens of thousands of Dutch people gathered here to witness the few grand military parades in the Netherlands in the 20th century.
In the calm harbor, a mighty warship slowly moved a rumbling salute for a while; At the leveling pier, teams of well-equipped and well-disciplined Dutch soldiers took firm steps; Five-plane formations frequently fly overhead, and Dutch fighters are also showing their qualities to the world.
However, this is the largest military parade in the history of the Netherlands, showing their firm stance and sincerity in participating in the war. The Dutch almost took out all their belongings ―― one heavy cruiser, one combat cruiser, four light cruisers, 16 destroyers, three escort carriers, 17 submarines and 55 auxiliary ships of the Royal Dutch Navy are neatly arranged in the harbor. Although there is a German sub-fleet, it is the limit that the Dutch government can bear at present, and most of the warships here are purchased from Germany except a few ships. There is no doubt that compiling 12 infantry battalions, 2 artillery battalions and 5oo 6 th Army is the essence of Royal Dutch 6 th Army. For an army that has long since retired from the world stage, it takes more courage to organize troops of this size to leave the country. Compared with the 6 th Army and Navy, the Dutch army has more than 40 new Fokker fighters and more than 11 old fighter planes, which is the most anticipated force.
In the face of the Dutch determination, diplomats from all over the world expressed surprise and admiration. According to the announcement of the Dutch government, this fleet will set sail for distant Southeast Asia this week to fight against the Japanese who have harassed the Dutch East India for many years to safeguard the legitimate interests of Dutch citizens there. Although the Japanese claimed not long ago that Germany had manipulated the pre-war situation in Southeast Asia, who cares?
With the military parade going on around Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard, Chentian kept the soldiers’ firm posture, which is not only a respect for tens of thousands of Dutch officers and soldiers in Taiwan, but also a respect for this new ally. Although the Dutch’s biggest goal is to get back their east indies, Chentian and Germany are not disgusted with this because the land rich in resources has long been infiltrated by German capital. What the Dutch want to get back is more to lose their dignity.
In fact, at this time, Southeast Asia is facing a new turning point in deciding whether Germany and Japan will continue to confront each other or whether the Japanese will withdraw from the competition. The decision is in the hands of the generals of both sides, and this decisive battle is imminent.
Manila, Philippines
After the Malay task force under the command of Lieutenant General Akita Morihiro was hit hard in the Gulf of Thailand, Matsumura Juyong and his Southeast Asian task force were ordered by the Admiralty not to leave the port until they were reinforced by the Turkish fleet. So when the German-Turkish joint expeditionary fleet frequently moved in the South China Sea, especially in the waters around the Philippines, Matsumura’s fleet, consisting of three armored cruisers, one light cruiser and five destroyers, remained unmoved at Manila Military Port, which was guarded by a large number of coastal defense works.
In June, Manila has quietly entered the summer. It is not a powerful Japanese-Japanese joint fleet, but a commendation order issued by the Admiralty and a second-class gold glass medal. Although this medal is usually awarded to a naval general who has made brilliant achievements, Matsumura Juyong is not happy.
