    "His Majesty the Kaiser, how could this be? Can't even Germany uphold justice?" Queen Wilhelmina suddenly turned pale when she heard Kaiser Wilhelm II asking her to give up Indonesia.  ¡ò¡òIs all this inevitable?  This makes Queen Wilhelmina very desperate!

    "Your Majesty the Queen, I hope you can understand. China entered Indonesia with the destiny of 'protecting overseas Chinese'. Your country's slow response to the Indonesian riots caused great losses of life and property to the local Chinese.  China is very dissatisfied with this. According to the report of our ambassador to China, there has been a uprising against the Netherlands in China, and a large number of Chinese people are asking the Chinese government to declare war on the Netherlands!" Kaiser Wilhelm II said helplessly  .

    "His Majesty the Kaiser, we can compensate the Chinese for their losses. Can Germany mediate? As long as Indonesia can be saved, the Netherlands is willing to pay any price!" Queen Wilhelmina said.

    Kaiser Wilhelm II shook his head, and then said: "Your Majesty the Queen, I am very sorry. Germany can mediate for the Netherlands, but if it wants to save Indonesia, this should be impossible. Germany can only reduce as much as possible for the Netherlands.  Loss. Besides, we have no other way!" William II said very sincerely. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is inevitable for China to annex Indonesia. No country has  Able to prevent.  Since it is unavoidable, it is better to take the opportunity to find ways to reduce losses instead of hoping to save Indonesia!

    Queen Wilhelmina was silent, she knew it.  This trip to Germany was in vain.  She did not believe William II's explanation.  Why the Netherlands was slow to respond to this Indonesian riot is just an excuse.  She also knew the deeper reason, which was simply that Germany was unwilling to break with China at this time.  As the international situation becomes increasingly tense, Germany needs to win over China, so it can only sacrifice the interests of the Netherlands!  This may be the tragedy of a small country!

    Although Queen Wilhelmina was very dissatisfied with this, there was no other way.  Germany has no hope.  Not to mention other countries.  Countries such as Britain and France may support the Netherlands.  However, at best, they only support the Netherlands verbally. If they are asked to take substantive actions, it is simply impossible.  A Middle East war is over.  Both Britain and France suffered heavy losses and are still licking their wounds.  It is simply impossible for them to fight China for the Netherlands.  As for the United States, another powerful country, the Americans were just defeated by the Chinese in Mexico and they definitely don¡¯t want to get involved now.  As for Russia, Russia suffered heavy losses in the war and has not yet recovered.  If it weren't for the help of Britain, France and the United States, Russia would have lost its status as a great power.  Therefore, the Netherlands now has no one to count on and can only rely on itself!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Facing a behemoth like China, the Dutch obviously have no way to compete on their own.  Queen Wilhelmina suddenly discovered that there was no other way than compromising with the Chinese.  She seemed to have no other choice!

    "I'm sorry, His Majesty the Kaiser. Thank you for your help. However, I can't make a decision. I have to discuss it with the ministers of the kingdom. Sorry, I'm feeling a little unwell, so I'll take my leave now!" Queen Wilhelmina said.

    "Okay, Her Majesty the Queen, please go back and rest!" William II nodded.  He is very clear about the importance of Indonesia to the Netherlands.  After losing the Indonesian colony, the Netherlands' status in Europe and even internationally will probably decline again and again.

    Queen Wilhelmina¡¯s early departure was seen by many people.  However, they did nothing other than shake their heads.  On the other hand, Crown Prince William's eyes flashed with a trace of dissatisfaction.  He does not sympathize with the Netherlands, but is jealous that China has gained another big piece of fat.  What a great thing it would be if Germany obtained this colony!  Indonesia¡¯s huge market of 30 million people is also coveted by Germany!  However, Germany has already made a decision, and he can only watch helplessly as this piece of fat falls into the mouths of the Chinese!

    "Greedy yellow-skinned monkeys, just wait for me. After defeating the Allies, Germany will definitely defeat you and let you taste a disastrous defeat!" Crown Prince William said secretly!

    The guests¡¯ departure did not affect the atmosphere of the banquet.  These Germans have been depressed for a long time. It is a rare opportunity to relax, so of course they will not let it go.  As the confrontation between the Allies and the Entente becomes more and more serious, Germany's national power is also tilted towards the military. All materials are required to give priority to ensuring the military.? Even these nobles have not held a banquet for a long time.  After all, their fate is tied to Germany, and they must first ensure that Germany wins the war!

    The next day, Queen Wilhelmina returned to Amsterdam.  At this moment, everyone knew that Queen Wilhelmina had hit a wall in Germany.  After returning to Amsterdam, Queen Wilhelmina summoned the kingdom's ministers and briefed them on her visit to Germany.  When Wilhelmina told them that Germany would not help the Netherlands, the faces of the important ministers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands suddenly turned pale.  They all know that losing Indonesia is inevitable!

    "Her Majesty the Queen, it seems that we have to be prepared to lose Indonesia. After losing Indonesia, the kingdom's economy and financial revenue will be greatly affected! We must prepare early!" The gray-haired Prime Minister  said.  The income from Indonesia is already a very important part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands' financial revenue. After losing Indonesia, they, the kingdom's important ministers, may have to be prepared to tighten their belts and live their lives.  Although no one wants to see such a thing happen, it seems that there is no other choice!

    "The government affairs of the kingdom are naturally decided by the prime minister and cabinet ministers. Come up with a solution!" Queen Wilhelmina said a little tiredly.  She has worked hard for this country, but she still cannot get this country through this crisis!

    The Dutch government acted quickly. On the same day, they sent a telegram to Miles Philip, the ambassador to China, asking Miles Philip to negotiate with the Chinese for the transfer of the Dutch Indonesian Islands.  From the perspective of the Dutch, they transferred the Dutch Indonesian Islands to the Chinese. The Chinese must compensate the Netherlands no matter what!  Therefore, they asked Miles Philip to ensure the interests of the Kingdom of the Netherlands as much as possible.  At the same time, the German Ambassador to China August von Klind will also participate in this negotiation as a mediator!

    Beijing time, on July 20, 1906, the German Ambassador to China August von Klind and the Dutch Ambassador to China Miles Philip came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China together.  Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang has been notified in advance and has been waiting for them in his office!

    "I am very happy to meet you, Your Excellency Wu Tingfang!" German Ambassador to China August von Klind said first.  Relations between China and Germany began to warm up, which made his life much easier.  If the stalemate between China and Germany continues, then he, the ambassador to China, will suffer a lot.  Fortunately, neither China nor Germany have lost their minds and know who our enemy is!

    The Dutch ambassador to China, Miles Philip, just gave a simple greeting. The Chinese are now robbing the Dutch colonies. It is simply impossible to expect Miles Philip to look good on Wu Tingfang!

    "You two, please take a seat!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile, and asked his secretary to bring in three cups of coffee!

    "Ahem! Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, you must be very clear about the purpose of our visit this time. The Indonesian indigenous riots in Indonesia this time have caused huge losses to both China and the Netherlands. Moreover, it has also returned to the two countries.  The relationship has had a very bad impact. Germany hopes that the two countries can end their differences and restore friendship as soon as possible!" said German Ambassador to China August von Klind.

    Wu Tingfang nodded, and then said: "Your Excellency Ambassador Klind, this time there were tens of thousands of Chinese casualties. His Majesty the Emperor was very angry and very dissatisfied with the Dutch government's slow response to this riot. In order to protect  To protect the lives of the Chinese people, our country has no choice but to send troops into Indonesia!"

    "Hmph! Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, stop being hypocritical. We are also very clear about China's ambitions towards Indonesia. Maybe this riot was planned by your country!" Miles Philip, the Dutch Ambassador to China, was annoyed.  said.  Although diplomats have always been shameless and thick-skinned, Miles Philip was very angry when he saw Wu Tingfang's hypocritical performance!

    Sure enough, Wu Tingfang's face suddenly darkened. As the foreign minister of the empire and the candidate to succeed the prime minister, he had a high status both in the empire and internationally.  Now, Miles Philip actually dares to accuse him face to face like this. Where can he put his old face?

    "Your Excellency Ambassador Philip, then, I wonder what you are here for this time? Are you begging for mercy? Or are you here to declare a challenge to the empire! If it is a declaration of challenge, I very much welcome it!" Wu Tingfang said coldly, and then provoked  looked at Miles Philip.

    Miles Philip¡¯s face turned red immediately because of the suffocation!  If the Netherlands had the guts to declare a challenge to China, there would be no need to ask Germany to mediate.
