Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

On October 17, 1878, former President Mascaiano, who was separatist in southern Chile, announced his support for the close relationship between Britain and Argentinian President Miter. He stated in Puerto Montt that he would seek to join in trilateral cooperation in the Strait of Magellan to jointly maintain Peace in the Straits of Magellan and the Drake Passage, the southernmost region of South America.

Mascaiano also said he had made a request for help to Argentine President Miter, who he invited to visit southern Chile to deepen relations between Argentina and southern Chile.

In response, the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated at a press conference that President Miter had accepted the invitation, but the time was to be determined.

At the same time, the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that President Miter has written to Arturo Lauzon of the northern Chilean government, expressing his willingness to support peace negotiations between the north and the south of Chile and to jointly negotiate a way to peace.

Argentina was getting closer to Britain, and Argentina openly announced that it would host peace talks between the two sides in the Chilean civil war, which immediately made the Kingdom of the Netherlands very dissatisfied.

Many people in the Kingdom of the Netherlands were so angry that they wished they could cut Argentine President Miter to death in order to vent their hatred.

On October 19, 1878, the headquarters of the three major parties of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Liberal Party, the Christian Party, and the Socialist Party, all expressed dissatisfaction with Argentina's actions that harmed the interests of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Spokesperson of the Liberal Party: "The actions of Argentina's ruling party are very regrettable. Our Liberal Party and President Mitre have a good past. Our way of cooperation is very memorable, so we cherish this period of time with President Mitre very much." Regarding the relationship between the Argentine government led by the president and the Netherlands, the Liberal Party is very friendly to the Argentine people, so we will continue to promote the friendly relations between Dutch society and the Argentine government and people. We will not think that the relationship between the Netherlands and Argentina will end here.

Therefore, in order to promote the development of relations between the two countries, our Liberal Party has sent a delegation composed of representatives and senators to visit Argentina. "

Christian Party: "We will not watch Argentina and the Netherlands go further and further away, so the Christian Party will send members of Congress to Argentina and carry out humanitarian visits there. We will conduct meetings with various factions of the local church there. Close communication, our Christian Party has not only Catholics, but also Protestants, so we will support the believers of the two countries to continue to strengthen communication."

Socialist Party: “We are committed to more frank communication with Argentina, but we will insist on safeguarding the interests of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The Socialist Party is a political party composed of immigrants. There are now more than 30,000 new Argentine-Dutch immigrants in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. We will use these more than 30,000 Argentine immigrants to deepen relations with Argentina. However, at the same time, we will also promote relations with Argentina. Relations develop between various forces within Argentina. "

Perhaps affected by the situation in Argentina, both the north and the south of Chile chose to temporarily cease the war.

It's hard to know that October 20th is here. This is the arrival of summer in the southern hemisphere.

As the saying goes, troubled times come, but compared with autumn, this year’s summer in the Southern Hemisphere is anything but peaceful.

Needless to say, Chile was divided into north and south. The British and Dutch used Chile to carry out proxy wars and even killed tens of thousands of people. For a Chile with a population of only 1.8 million, the casualties were not small.

On October 17, 1878, the Peruvian opposition party failed to launch a coup. Nearly one-third of the people in the party were shot. President Prado has always been close to the Netherlands and Spain and opposed the United Kingdom, so the United Kingdom has been pushing the opposition party to govern. But this time it failed, so the UK strongly condemned Prado.

The Netherlands and Spain are exactly the opposite. Both countries support Parrado's approach.

Obviously, Prado was very satisfied with the endorsement of both countries. He announced in Lima that he was breaking off diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom and formally requested the British Embassy in Lima to leave Peru immediately. At the same time, he recalled the Peruvian ambassador in London and dissolved the embassy there. representative office.

Colombia has also banned British ships from docking at ports in the Caribbean and Pacific. Colombia said it would join Peru in not welcoming the presence of the British Embassy in Colombia because of the irregular diplomatic practices carried out by the British Embassy in Bogotá. Developing a spy system in an attempt to overthrow the current President Mosquera's government, many "dens" have been detected and destroyed.

Even in Venezuela, incidents occurred and exposed that British-backed forces were brewing for pro-British forces to come to power. However, they were suppressed by the governments of various countries, and some were even eradicated directly.

"The UK has suffered heavy losses this time."

Bismarck sighed with fear.

"Who says it's not?" said William I: "The Dutch's series of counterattacks were both accurate and timely. The strength that Britain had secretly cultivated in various countries over the years suddenly returned to before the Middle Ages. From the 18th century Almost half of the forces that were initially hidden in South America were uprooted by two and a half. These families have been secretly cultivated by the British for many years. They have been protected by the British for decades or even hundreds of years, but they are waiting for the opportunity. Reach the sky in one step.

But I didn’t expect that the Dutch oriole behind them could secretly find out the British spies that had been buried for hundreds of years, which is really surprising.”

Crown Prince William said: "The Dutch supported Arturo Lauzon's coup in Chile, and Mascaiano, who was originally supported by the British, fled to the south.

The Dutch then launched an attack in the south and won.

The first round of direct war between the British and Dutch navies failed miserably. In order to save face, the British secretly made friends with Argentina, the Netherlands' most important South American ally. It seemed that the poaching was successful, and the Netherlands was immediately furious. Under the leadership of Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador, the four countries simultaneously selected the British forces and the shocking scene was eradicated. "

He said: "The Dutch counterattack was not unimportant. William IV's counterattack accurately hit Britain's key points in various countries. The one who took advantage of the fear of the successful coup in Chile and the failure of Peru was Britain's intervention in the coup made the whole of South America suspicious of Britain's role.

So, I think we should realize that the UK now has no choice but to fight against the odds and devote all its efforts to Argentina to support them."

Bismarck suddenly asked: "What is Mitre's role?"

Prince William smiled and said: "Of course he is the main force."

Bismarck: "The main force that Britain used to deal with the Netherlands?"

Crown Prince William nodded and said: "Yes, only in this way can the Netherlands face its allies, and the UK is just waving the flag and shouting. The people who lose are not just the people in the Netherlands' original ally circle. The UK is naturally willing to push forward."
