108 North Korea summit (1)
In the summer of 1828, a conference of succession to the throne was held in The Hague, Netherlands, with the participation of England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria.
In England, the Duke of Wellington participated as a representative, and in the Netherlands, Richard Benheren participated.
In Belgium, MP Linus Cruyff participated, and in Luxembourg, Archduke John VI.
Anton Joachim, Elisabeth’s uncle, was the representative of the Austrian Hapsburg royal family, which can be said to be the heart of this meeting.
Anton Joachim, Count of Austria, Duke of Bohemia, is said to be one of the de facto leaders of the Habsburgs.
A veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, he made a remarkable contribution in the Battle of Waterloo with the Duke of Wellington. After that, he also played a role in subduing Napoleon, who escaped from Saint Helena and dreamed of a hundred thousand worlds.
At the same time, he also demonstrated his talents as a financier, making the family’s finances prosperous, and as a duke of the Kingdom of Bohemia, he contributed greatly to the development of national industry.
Religiously, he had a very flexible ideology, and he was also considered as one of the nobles with the highest support in the Kingdom of Bohemia after the Thirty Years War.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that such Anton Joachim as the representative of the conference is Austria’s strategy to stamp Benheren and Cruyff with fame in Europe.
Austria’s reputation strategy worked surprisingly well.
Shortly before the meeting, Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, England, hero of the Napoleonic Wars, shook hands with Anton Joachim.
“Pong Leopold! No, how much is this?”
“Dr. Wellington, what a grandeur.”
“Hey, how can you live like that after the war? I’ve heard that Bohemia’s government is busy these days, but how come you haven’t come to England at least once?”
“I’m sorry. My, I was too busy to have time to talk with my comrades?”
The friendship of the war heroes was enough to attract the attention of those around them.
People applauded in great emotion to see the key figures of the Napoleonic Wars in front of their eyes.
clap clap!
Anton Joachim, a former cavalryman who ran down the mounds of Waterloo, was remembered as a true hero in the minds of the people, so sending him as a delegation from Austria was a godsend.
On the other hand, Richard Ben-Herren and Linus Cruyff felt somewhat alienated from the public’s attention.
Lee Hwan, who attended the meeting, looked at the situation and thought that perhaps this meeting could flow in Elizabeth’s favor.
‘Even Ben Heren in the world has no choice but to stand in front of these two heroes. The Archduke made a very clever choice.’
The mood was reversed with the appearance of Anton Joachim.
Now, as soon as Anton made a strong claim that he would push Elizabeth as king, the tables would be overturned, Lee Hwan was so sure.
After a while, the meeting began.
“Now then, let us begin the unification conference to decide the succession to the throne of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. The significance of this meeting is to create a strong alliance between the countries of Western Europe, bound by blood in name and reality. If the succession to the throne is decided unanimously at today’s meeting, neighboring countries will no longer be able to raise objections to the succession. Please keep this in mind.”
“Good.”
“Then we will begin. First, let’s listen to the story of the Austrian Habsburg dynasty who supported the rise of Princess Elizabeth Sofia to succeed the previous king.”
In silence, Anton Joachim stood up.
He began to express his thoughts and his family’s position very clearly to the audience.
“Our Habsburgs maintained a very close relationship with the Orange family during their lifetime, and they had great respect for their predecessor, King Willem I. The previous king, whom we have so much respect for, has appointed Princess Elizabeth Sophia as heir to the throne. Although, frankly, no one really knows what the deceased previous king really wanted in making this decision. One thing is certain, however, that the King made this decision for the sake of the union of the Netherlands and us in Europe.”
“Hmm… … .”
“Think about it. Duke Orange, a staunch politician and war hero, could not have made such a decision in vain. My family and I think that it is not polite to the deceased to mention legitimacy without understanding the noble intentions of the previous kings.”
Anton Johaim emphasized that since the maintenance of the previous king has a noble meaning, anyone who breaks it is the same as defiling the sanctuary.
But despite his paradox, opinions were divided.
Then the Duke of Wellington stood up.
“Then can I say a word now?”
“iced coffee… … ! of course! tell me.”
Again, the position of the war hero was great, and people were always ready to listen to what he had to say.
The Duke of Wellington spoke in a very strong tone.
“I am truly sorry to say these words to my comrades who were on the same battlefield, but there are some problems with the succession of Princess Elizabeth Sofia to the throne that the Prince emphasizes.”
“… … Is it a problem?”
“The first problem is that the refusal of a prince to succeed to the throne is a direct denial of the noble will of the restoration of the monarchy decided at the Vienna meeting.”
“The empty meeting we made with blood and sweat is to be denied… … .”
Anton Joachim was, of course, also present at the Vienna meeting.
Even if the meeting was empty inside, the war heroes could not hide their excitement just by holding the meeting.
To deny such a meeting could be said to be a disgrace to the comrades.
The Duke of Wellington accurately punctured the blind spot of Anton Joachim, a true soldier full of pride as a war hero.
While Anton Joachim was bewildered, he brought up a second problem.
“The intervention of the Austrian Habsburgs in the succession to the Dutch throne may cause anxiety in neighboring countries.”
“It’s anxiety.”
“The establishment of a powerful foreign power structure may make the princes of neighboring countries tremble with anxiety.”
“We are not claiming the throne because of power.”
“Of course, the Habsburgs think so, but the position of neighboring countries is not. No matter what the truth is, isn’t it a problem that can be considered the other way around from the standpoint of accepting it?”
“Hmm… … .”
“In our UK, these two things alone, I think the succession to the throne should go to the red-hot prince.”
The Belgian side laughed, while the Luxembourg side looked a little embarrassed.
All that was left was how the Dutch delegation, Ben Heeren, would behave.
While the Habsburgs were a bit miffed, the Duke of Wellington timely pointed to Ben-Herren of Holland.
“Prince Ben-Heren, I wonder what you think of him.”
“Well… … .”
“I heard that the Dutch Senate united the will. I can’t help but wonder about that position.”
The Senate clearly supported Elizabeth Sofia’s succession to the throne.
They supported Elisabeth Sophia’s succession to the throne from the standpoint that Lee Hwan’s power could not be ruled out.
However, Ben Heren’s meaning was different.
“Our Senate declares neutrality.”
“… … Are you neutral?”
“I abstain from this meeting.”
England and Belgium were one, and it would all depend on how the Netherlands decided here.
But, unexpectedly, Ben Heren declared neutrality, and the atmosphere in the conference hall had no choice but to become chaotic.
Lee Hwan looked at Ben Heren, and he smiled softly.
‘… … Did he declare neutrality in the sense of leaving enough room for himself to become king?’
If Ben-Heren follows the will of the House of Representatives or the will of the Senate, the succession to the throne will be decided either way.
However, it is a different story when he makes the outcome of the meeting fall into a labyrinth.
It was said that the throne was not decided and the throne would eventually remain vacant.
Lee Hwan had an intuition that he had to somehow bring Britain to his side.
‘It’s dangerous like this. I have no idea what the author is thinking, so I have no choice but to forcefully bring in the UK.’
If Ben Heren managed to convince the House of Representatives to win votes, it would be a big deal.
Lee Hwan fell into deep thought.

The Emperor’s Guard and two gold wagons gathered at an arsenal near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
A middle-aged man and a woman of Myoryeong disembarked from the carriage.
“How have you been?”
“Yeah, thank you. You have suffered a lot.”
“… … no. Rather, the kingdom of Abamama has been taken over by a wicked group, so it is not strange to order suicide.”
“It’s self-defeating. Do not even dream of such a thought.”
After the usurpation of the throne, Pedro I welcomed his daughter to Brazil while wandering Europe.
He offered his daughter to enter the palace of the Brazilian emperor, but she refused.
Rather, she was desperate and declared that she would regain the throne.
“I will take the throne back.”
“Could you give me the military?”
“no. The war between Brazil and Portugal is only damaging to both countries due to repeated attrition. Rather, I think it is more appropriate to use external forces.”
“External forces?”
“As you may have heard, they say that in North America the Portuguese army slaughtered the citizens of the Barony of Easterfield horribly.”
Pedro I sighed deeply, as if his heart was heavy.
He knew very well that it would be a disaster for Portugal in the future.
However, Maria II thought that the massacre might be a disgrace for her.
“Perhaps Baron Easterfield will never stand still when he hears this news. Whether they attack Portugal right now or bring the king to his knees, one of the two will surely come.”
“If that happens, wouldn’t it be possible for Lisbon to catch fire?”
“It could be. Of course, Baron Easterfield could have made a slightly different choice.”
“It’s another choice.”
“We may retaliate by severing diplomatic ties and suspending the supply of weapons because we believe it is not appropriate to see any more blood. It is economic and military retaliation at the same time.”
“Hmm… … .”
“One thing is certain, either way, Baron Easterfield will not stand by the matter. We will be able to take advantage of Baron Easterfield’s army like that.”
“Are you using the military?”
“I’m asking you to take back the throne even if you make a somewhat unequal treaty with them.”
“Use the Easterfield Baron to take back the throne?”
“I hate to admit it, but their military power is the best of their time. It took less than a week to turn Istanbul into a sea of fire. If an army with such tremendous firepower enters Lisbon, the royal castle will become a beehive. I think that bringing such an overwhelming military force would be far more beneficial than Obama’s direct mobilization of the military.”
Pedro I fully agreed with his daughter’s opinion.
He decided to send his daughter to Baron Easterfield.
“good night. Then you go to the baron yourself. Go, offer to give us everything Portugal and Brazil can give.”
“Yes, Mom. We will surely bring our kingdom back.”
Whether Lee Hwan would accept the woman’s proposal was complicated in their minds.
However, that wasn’t the real problem.
