C2853 A sensation in Europe (1/2)
No one could describe the anger in King of Belgium's heart. Li Aobodeershi had already turned into a roaring lion.
”Madman!” Madman! The French are crazy! Insolent! Insolent! He dares to not declare his defeat, and actually dare to send troops to invade Belgium's territory! ”
”Do you really think I'm a weak country in Europe? Do you really take me for a decoration? ”
”Electricity throughout Europe! Condemning the atrocities committed by Napoleon III, the Belgium declared war on France! ”Proclaim war!”
Li Aobodeershi's declaration of war was just a formality, because the war had already reached its late stages, by the time he finished assembling his army, the Prussian army would already have finished cleaning up the battlefield.
But Li Aobodeershi would definitely participate in the later stages of the negotiation, he had to settle the score clearly!
Before King of Belgium even arrived at sini, he had already sent a reprimand telegram to all of Europe late into the night, especially to his close relatives, the Netherlands and the British royal family.
There was no need to talk about the Netherlands. The Belgium was originally a kingdom that was independent of the Netherlands.
The British royal family and the Leopold Family had a very close relationship. The wife that Li Aobodeershi's father married was the Grand Princess of the King of England, Qiao Zhi IV.
Furthermore, Qiao Zhi was the Queen Victoria's biological uncle, which meant that Li Aobodeershi's mother was the Queen Victoria's older sister.
His aunt was not polite at all. She sent a telegram to Buckingham Palace before the sun rose!
The queen was awakened in her sleep when she looked impatiently at the telegram sent by her nephew. ”What happened?” ”Before, he hoped that I would be able to support his expedition into the Congo. I've already promised him that we would first suspend the Imperial Academy's examination team …”
”Why is there no end to this? ”You want to disturb me when there's nothing important?”
”Your Majesty, it's better if you take a look. This is simply too inconceivable …” The maid whispered.
When the Queen saw the letter on the telegram, her sleep was gone and her face was filled with anger. ”Is that true?” This is too much, it's simply intolerable! ”
”He actually dares to fight without a declaration? Before, he wanted to secretly swallow the Belgium, but now it had become an overt invasion? ”Even if we have to cross the border by road!”
”Did Gladstone know? Tell him at once that Britain will not tolerate such brazen aggression against other countries! Belgium is an independent nation that is recognized by the entire world, no one can change this situation! ”
”Yes!” Yes... Your Majesty, what about Empress Ou Renni's asylum request? ”Shouldn't you also reject it …”
Queen Victoria thought for a while. ”No …” One yard is one yard. If Napoleon III really has no other choice, we England should accept him! ”
”After all, this is still a good hand. Who knows what the future of France will be like? It's not bad to keep one more trump card! ”
The queen was still very protective of her child. After all, her relatives had been beaten up, and she could finally witness the power of the traditional European circle of nobility.
An hour later, British Prime Minister Gladstone made a strong protest statement. British Empire would never allow any country to trample on the dignity of a sovereign, independent nation, much less fight without a declaration of war.
Soon after, the royal family of the Netherlands, the royal family of Prussia, the royal family of Austria and even the various States s of Italy also stood up, issuing strict statements.
Especially for William I, he could not sit still any longer. Not only had he made a statement, he had also arranged for a private train to personally supervise the battle.
