On July 28, 1854, French Foreign Minister Earl Valevski and Army Secretary A.J. St. Arno, Prime Minister of the Netherlands John Rudolph Thorbek and Army Secretary De Vries arrived in London, England to discuss the unified action of the three countries after the war. Of course, this meeting was mainly British and French, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands was just a role in making soybeans.

The meeting was held in a conference room of the British Army Department. On the walls of the conference room, a map of the Kingdom of Belgium was hung. The goal of this meeting was to target the Kingdom of Belgium.

"Everyone, the Kingdom of Belgium is the in-laws of the Chinese Empire and a nail that the Chinese Empire has penetrated into Europe. In order to drive the Chinese people out of Europe, we must destroy the Kingdom of Belgium!" British Foreign Minister Earl Glenville said first. Although the reason why the Kingdom of Belgium was able to establish a country was that Britain had put a lot of efforts. But now, the Kingdom of Belgium has turned to the Empire of China and is on the opposite side of Britain. Then, Britain had to destroy the Kingdom of Belgium.

"The Kingdom of Dutch agreed to send troops to the Kingdom of Belgium. The Kingdom of Dutch will do its best to destroy the Kingdom of Belgium!" Dutch Prime Minister John Rudolf Thorbek responded immediately. Originally, the Kingdom of Belgium was part of the Netherlands, but it eventually became independent from the Kingdom of Dutch, which greatly damaged the strength of the Kingdom of Dutch. The Kingdom of Dutch was still a first-class power in Europe. However, after losing Belgium, the Kingdom of Dutch could only be regarded as a second-rate or even third-rate small country.

What made the Dutch more nervous was that with the support of the Chinese Empire, Leopold I, the king of the Kingdom of Belgium, was crazy about expanding the army to 500,000. You should know that the total population of the Kingdom of Belgium was only more than four million! Once the Kingdom of Belgium completed its expansion, the Kingdom of Dutch almost didn't have to think about it and they would definitely become the first target of the Kingdom of Belgium. After all, at the beginning of the independence of the Kingdom of Belgium, the two countries had a long war.

"However, the Kingdom of Dutch hopes that after the destruction of the Kingdom of Belgium, it will be able to incorporate the Kingdom of Belgium into the Kingdom of Dutch again. After all, the former Kingdom of Belgium belonged to the Kingdom of Dutch!" Dutch Prime Minister John Rudolf Thorbek continued. This is the main purpose of the Kingdom of Dutch joining the North Atlantic Military Alliance. The rulers of the Netherlands always want to destroy the Kingdom of Belgium and make the Kingdom of Dutch stronger again. However, they know that it is basically impossible to achieve this goal with the strength of the Kingdom of Dutch. For this reason, they can only rely on other countries. The North Atlantic Military Alliance is undoubtedly a good choice.

French Foreign Minister Earl Valevsky and Army Secretary A.J. St. Arnold frowned. According to the previous agreement between France and the British, in order to pull the Kingdom of Sardinia into the North Atlantic military alliance, France voluntarily gave up the Pope. As a make-up, France could expand its territory northward. The target was the Kingdom of Belgium. If the Kingdom of Dutch annexed the Kingdom of Belgium again, wouldn't France have been in vain?

"Prime Minister Thorbec, let's talk about the distribution of interests until the war is over!" said Earl of Granville, the British Foreign Secretary.

"No, Mr. Granville, I think it should be better to divide it first!" Prime Minister John Rudolph Thorbeck insisted.

"Let's do this, after defeating the Kingdom of Belgium, the Dutch-speaking areas in the north will be incorporated into the Kingdom of the Netherlands. And the French-speaking areas in the south will be incorporated into France. What do you think?" said Earl Glenville.

The Kingdom of Belgium was originally composed of Dutch, French and a small number of German speakers.

"His Count Glenville, before the Kingdom of Belgium became independent, it was originally the territory of our Kingdom of Dutch!" John Rudolf Thorbec still insisted. Originally, the entire Kingdom of Belgium belonged to the Kingdom of Dutch, but now it has to be divided half of it for France. How can they accept it?

However, Earl Glenville's face became a little unfair. Earl Valevsky in France had even colder eyes. Suddenly, Prime Minister John Rudolph Thorbeck involuntarily made a chill. Compared with Britain and France, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was just a small country. They had no strength to bargain with Britain and France.

"Okay, let's divide it according to the opinions of Count Granville!" Prime Minister John Rudolph Thorbeck compromised. This may be the sorrow of a small country. In front of a big country, they had no room for resistance at all.

"Since that's the case, let's divide it by this plan! However, the most important thing is that we need to defeat the Kingdom of Belgium. Only in this way can the subsequent plan be implemented. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk." Earl of Granville said.

Everyone nodded. Although the Kingdom of Belgium was a small country, it was also a tough task under the crazy expansion of King Leopold I. If Britain, France and the Netherlands wanted to destroy the Kingdom of Belgium as quickly as possible, they could only work together.

"Then, let's discuss the plan to send troops!" said Marquis Angelsey, the British Army Secretary. Politically, the Foreign Minister came forward, and military affairs were taken care of.

"With the support of the Chinese Empire, the military strength of the Kingdom of Belgium developed rapidly. According to the information we received, the Kingdom of Belgium expanded its army by 500,000 not just bragging, but real. Before the war, the Belgian army had 200,000 people. After the war, a large number of young people entered the barracks. It is estimated that the Kingdom of Belgium will complete the mobilization of 500,000 people, which will take no more than one month." Marquis Anglesey said.

French Army Minister A.J. Saint-Arno and Dutch Army Minister De Vries both frowned. The speed of mobilization of the Kingdom of Belgium has exceeded that of their two countries.

Although the Kingdom of Belgium is small and has a small population, the development of industry in the Kingdom of Belgium, especially steel and machinery manufacturing, coupled with the sound domestic railway network, makes the Kingdom of Belgium mobilization very fast.

"It will take about three weeks for France to complete the initial mobilization," said a.j. San Arno.

"It will take three to four weeks for the Kingdom of Dutch to complete the mobilization," De Vries also said.

The Marquis of Anglesey nodded: "However, although the mobilization of the Kingdom of Belgium is very fast, it is their limit to mobilizing half a hundred thousand people. Then, our battle against the Kingdom of Belgium will be scheduled for three weeks. At that time, the British navy will shell the coast of the Kingdom of Belgium and cover the landing of the 100,000 troops on the western coast of the Kingdom of Belgium. Where are the Kingdoms of France and the Kingdom of Netherlands?"

"France can invest 200,000 people to attack the Kingdom of Belgium." French Army Secretary A.J. Saint Arno said. France's other military forces should be used to guard against the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Prussia, which is a great enemy.

"The Kingdom of Dutch can also invest 200,000 people to attack the Kingdom of Belgium!" Dutch Army Minister De Vries also said. After completing the mobilization, the army of the Kingdom of Dutch will have 300,000. However, don't forget that the Netherlands is also a neighboring country with the Kingdom of Prussia, second only to the Chinese Empire in the Asian-European military alliance. Once the army of the Kingdom of Prussia launches an attack on the Kingdom of Dutch, the Kingdom of Dutch will be unable to resist at all.

The Marquis of Anglesey frowned in dissatisfaction: "Gentlemen, this is an army of only 500,000 people in total, which is probably not enough. We need to destroy the Kingdom of Belgium before other countries in the Asian and European military alliance intervene. Therefore, we need more troops. If the Kingdom of Prussia reacts, it will not be so easy for us to destroy the Kingdom of Belgium!"

After a brief silence, French Army Secretary A.J. San Arno said: "This way, the French Army can invest 300,000 people in the attack on the Kingdom of Belgium. We also want to leave enough troops to guard against the Spaniards and the Prussians!"

Marquis Anglesey nodded. If he had 600,000 people, the North Atlantic Military Alliance would have an advantage in military strength. What's more, he also believed that the army of the Kingdom of Belgium would not be much stronger even with the support of the Chinese Empire. Putting aside the Dutch Kingdom's military strength was also weak, and the 100,000 British Army and 300,000 French Army were enough to solve the Kingdom of Belgium.

"Since that's the case, we will reach an agreement. Three weeks later, our three countries sent troops to the Kingdom of Belgium at the same time, striving to eliminate the Kingdom of Belgium in one fell swoop, and let those countries joining the Asian-European military alliance see the consequences of getting close to the Chinese." Marquis Anglesey said.

"What if the Prussians intervene?" Dutch Army Secretary De Vries was a little worried.

"Even if the Prussians complete the mobilization, they dare not act rashly. At that time, France and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will join forces to attack the Prussian Kingdom." French Army Minister A.J. Saint Arnault said. Although the Prussian Kingdom is strong, it is almost impossible to win if it faces the two powerful countries of France and the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the same time.

Dutch Army Minister De Vries nodded. If the Prussian Kingdom was besieged by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and France, he might not have any extra energy to pay attention to the Netherlands. Perhaps the Netherlands could still take advantage of the opportunity to expand eastward to make up for the losses on the Belgium issue.

After this secret meeting, the Kingdom of Britain, France and the Netherlands began to mobilize troops and set out to attack the Kingdom of Belgium after completing the mobilization. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
