Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

The alliance between the Netherlands, the United States, and Mexico shocked the whole of Europe.

Relevant related parties have conducted many discussions on this.

What is surprising and shocking is that William IV actually wanted to give a speech on this, but it was still public, and it was given to all members of the Dutch Parliament.

This news has attracted the attention of other countries.

It also triggered a heated discussion in the Netherlands.

Kingdom of the Netherlands, Melbourne, Conference Hall of the Dutch Parliament Building.

On April 2, 1882, King William IV of the Netherlands faced heated discussions in the country. After members of the Parliament of the Kingdom of the Netherlands submitted a diplomatic response plan for the cabinet government to launch, King William IV came to the Parliament of the Netherlands to respond. He delivered his speech in response to the questions raised by the MPs.

"Thank you, thank you very much for your support, and thank you for your contribution to the country."

After William IV finished speaking, there was loud applause.

William IV rarely attends events, so he is almost the most invisible king in the world.

Other countries need some activities to refresh their existence, but William IV likes to control the development of the Netherlands from behind.

This is famous in the Netherlands and around the world.

Even so, William IV is like the Dinghai Shenzhen. His existence itself makes the people feel very at ease. His existence is also the backbone of the high-profile development of the Netherlands.

It is precisely because of the existence of such a king that everyone in the Netherlands is full of expectations for the future.

It was during William IV's 20 years in power (he began to rule on December 1, 1861) that the people gradually formed trust and dependence on him. of

Although the way the Netherlands handles the situation is controversial, the alliance between the Netherlands, the United States, and Mexico is of great historical strategic significance and is definitely a historical chapter for the global landscape.

“Dear Lord Chancellor of the Netherlands, Speaker, Prime Minister, Members of the House of Lords and House of Commons:

I know that the opportunity to continue to stand here and give a speech is an opportunity given to me by God.”

William IV's serious tone made the scene feel relaxed.

There are many newly elected members present today, and many of them are seeing William IV for the first time. They did not expect that His Majesty the King, who they respected so much in their hearts, would speak so humorously.

Show surprise, and then be deeply imprinted with a sense of identity.

Many years later, when many people talked about this speech to their children and grandchildren, they would tell this scene vividly.

In short, William IV's image became more people-friendly and fuller because of this.

"I heard that many foreign prime ministers, speakers, and even kings have come here to give speeches before. This shows that the standards of our parliament are unusual. If there are not many, the speaker may become a laughing stock."

William IV's humor continued, and the laughter and applause were still there.

“I am here today, and the theme is to talk about the relationship between the three national alliances of the Netherlands, the United States, and Mexico.

People said twenty years ago that the Netherlands had a special quasi-alliance relationship with the United States, and people also said that the Netherlands had a new alliance relationship with Mexico.

Moreover, we now have active connections between the three countries. This relationship refers to our public alliance less than a week ago, which has caused countries all over the world to analyze and analyze. Countries including us seem to be analyzing and trying to find explanations for the relationship. Tiny clues of tension and abnormality.

Of course, all relations have ups and downs. For example, we have a close relationship with the United Kingdom. I remember that when I first came to power, the two countries were very close, including the royal family trying to get closer through marriage. I also have a very close relationship with Queen Victoria, who He is a very admirable king and an idol for women around the world.

But in the end, there was a estrangement due to different interests, and we eventually parted ways, and even turned against each other."

There was no applause, no laughter, just silence.

The relationship between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom has changed many times in just two decades, which makes people feel sad and has a sense of great changes.

"Leaving aside our relationship with the United Kingdom, our relationship with the United States has also had twists and turns."

Everyone present knew this very well.

During the administration of President Lincoln in 1861, the Civil War began. William IV supported the Lincoln government in the north from the beginning.

Until the end of the Civil War in 1867, these seven years were the years when the United States and the Netherlands had a resonant relationship.

During this period, the relationship between the Netherlands and Britain was divided because of the United States. Britain supported the south and the Netherlands supported the north.

As a result, Anglo-Dutch relations entered a competitive landscape.

The Netherlands and Northern America also entered into a quasi-alliance.

This relationship lasted until Stephen Douglas of the Democratic Party came to power in 1878, but it ended because the latter was pro-German and pro-British.

The deterioration of relations between the Netherlands and the United States ended only when Republican Garfield came to power on January 20 this year, and it was not until now that the three-defense security dialogue mechanism alliance was formed.

This can be regarded as a sunny day after the rain.

"Since 1878, the four-year presidential term has caused some harm to the people of the two countries."

There was laughter.

“But luckily, it’s going to be smooth sailing from here on out.

The reason why the Netherlands, the United States, and Mexico have established such a close friendship is not only because of our trade relations and arms transactions, but also because of a series of challenges that our three countries currently face together. We currently have a strong friendship, and our three countries The strategic relationship is special, because with strategic needs, we can pass it on to the people from generation to generation."

There was silence.

"For centuries, when the world's kings, emperors, and warlords dominated most of the world, it was Britain's Magna Carta that first spelled out people's human rights and freedoms, but since 20 years ago, under my administration The Netherlands began to use the "Magna Carta" to make a name for itself. The Netherlands is the freest country in the world and the most focused on individual rights."

There was a round of applause.

Under the leadership of William IV, the Netherlands has become the freest country currently, and its legal personal security and personal financial protection are the strictest in the world.

Therefore, it has become the most desirable country for immigrants in the world. In this regard, even the United States cannot match it.

The Netherlands accounts for nearly half of the world's immigrants every year.

And they are elite immigrants.

These are absolutely inseparable from William IV's governance reforms.

"It is precisely because in the Netherlands, starting here in 1871, that the rule of law was first established, courts were able to uphold the rule of law and justice, disputes were resolved, and citizens came to petition you here with the trust."

"With the development of this country, you gave the Netherlands a chance to change its appearance. You made the Netherlands the fastest growing in the world, and finally surpassed the United Kingdom to become the most developed country both personally and as a country."

"It is you, the members of parliament here and those who have left, and officials of the executive agencies, who have made the Netherlands and its allies strong and great."

The people present applauded loudly again.

Many people thought to themselves: I have to say that His Majesty's speech was still so inspiring!
