Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

"The Netherlands tried its best to win over all parties in the Balkan Peninsula, and the British tried their best to undermine it, so when Greville and Gladstone visited other European countries to confront each other, Bismarck actually directly divided the Balkan Peninsula Summit internally, and even directly established an internal Different from the Dutch dominant country's faction, it can draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron."

On the Australian mainland, King William IV is paying a civil visit to Canberra, the emerging city and the second largest city in New South Wales, today, and has received a great welcome.

Of course, William IV is relatively friendly to the people, so he also made many statements at the recent press conference for local and foreign journalists in the Netherlands.

When asked about the sudden formation of the alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary at this time, what impact would it have on the Netherlands? William IV said directly: "This is an internal and external struggle surrounding the summit on the Balkan Peninsula on June 10, 1881."

William IV followed up: "Many senior Dutch officials have revealed to me before that the differences between the countries at the Balkan Peninsula Summit on the Balkan Peninsula issue are obvious. Countries are warning that Britain may pose a security threat to global threats and invasions. At the same time. In fact, some countries are unwilling to alienate Britain, a powerful and important trading partner."

Our Dutch Prime Minister Linden once told me that he said that the Dutch cabinet government will make this Balkan Summit a geopolitical summit that will deal with a large-scale security crisis. That is, if countries do not support the Netherlands If the summit led by the United Nations strives to resolve the conflicts between all parties, then there will be an invasion on the peninsula, which will lead to an open war on the peninsula. Moreover, Prime Minister Lyndon also reported the assessment results to me, because Tensions between the Netherlands and the UK are intensifying. We also need to formulate and clarify the rules of the game with our allies in the Netherlands to maintain mutual international cooperation."

When William IV was asked what specific actions he had taken?

William IV revealed with an extremely serious face: "The Netherlands is holding the South American Union Summit in South America. We have urged and strengthened our vigilance against the involvement of foreign forces such as the United Kingdom in South America. We will strengthen the Netherlands' response to the infiltration of countries such as Britain, Germany, and France. The sanctions will specifically target Britain's maritime trade and industrial exports.

The Dutch cabinet government has informed its allies of the Netherlands' position that the new measures will target sanctions evasion involving third countries other than the UK and seek to combat any future UK activity in these countries that intends to infiltrate and interfere in the internal affairs of these countries. , these are to plug leaks and prevent Britain and its possible allies from aggression-war in Latin America. We will cooperate with local countries to make any preparations."

Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia, Peru and the Netherlands are members of the South American Union Summit. The observer countries are Mexico, the six Central American Federation countries (Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Belize, Moldova, Guatemala) and the United States. These countries are closely linked to the Netherlands economically and politically.

The observer state, the Commonwealth of the United States, was revoked as an observer state three years ago because Stephen Douglas began to make anti-Dutch remarks after he came to power in 1879.

Therefore, he did not participate in the two subsequent summits in 1879 and 1880.

The South American Union Summit is held annually and is chaired by Baron Caslen, Speaker of the Privy Council and Speaker of the House of Commons of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Therefore, although the United States is a close economic partner of South American countries and is also the second largest source of foreign investment in each country, compared with the Netherlands, which is an important international manufacturing base and market, the United States still has difficulty in economic and political influence. Compare it to the Netherlands.

This summit coincides with the Balkan Peninsula Summit, which has attracted much attention. After all, the Netherlands held two international summits at once, one in Europe and one in the Americas.

The European one was hosted by Foreign Minister Joseph Beit, and the American one was hosted by Speaker Caslen.

All parties were already paying close attention to it, and now that the news of the alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary came out on June 9, all parties are paying even closer attention. The Balkan Summit and the South American Union Summit were both held simultaneously on June 10. Faced with The German-Austrian alliance, how will the two major summits describe the anti-British Britain and the German-Austrian alliance.

We were all looking forward to learning about the results of the summit before they came out. However, William IV actually visited Canberra during the construction of Australia's new city, and was willing to accept the interview publicly, so the various countries and local media in Australia went crazy.

Arriving in Canberra in droves.

Then came the restrictions on William IV at the Canberra City Hall, where he faced nearly 50 media interviews and interviews with questions and answers to the above questions.

"Hello, I am Smith, a reporter from the Washington Post in the Commonwealth of America. I would like to ask about the current situation in the UK that is lobbying other countries, such as Prime Minister Gladstone to visit the German Empire and Austria-Hungary, and British Foreign Secretary Granville to visit France, Portugal, etc. have expressed their opposition to the Netherlands taking further actions against the UK. Does Your Majesty think the UK's actions will be effective?"

William IV first pondered, and then said with an indulgent smile: "Although the United Kingdom lobbies other countries to be tougher on the Netherlands, it privately prefers to adopt a tactful approach towards these European powers. For example, the United Kingdom has been lobbying other European powers to be more aggressive in population immigration. The United Kingdom has even raised its level of combat readiness on this issue. Belgium and the United Kingdom have followed suit, and the German Empire will also be stricter. However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire are cautious about this, and Italy also has reservations.

I want to thank you for your question, it’s a very good question, next one”

“Hello, Your Majesty William, I would like to ask you about the alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary, and the obvious goal is to establish a joint fleet to point to Latin America, especially Central America.

Facing Germany and Austria, this involves the Netherlands’ allies. What kind of response does the Netherlands need to make to maintain the security of the Netherlands’ allies? I am Nash, a reporter from the British Times.”

William IV answered exactly what was asked: "The Netherlands is currently severing diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom, and Mr. Nash can appear here completely to ask me questions. It seems that the freedom and openness of the Netherlands should be satisfied by everyone, right?"

Nash: "Thank you very much. The legal system of the Netherlands is very transparent. I have to say that even though I come from the UK, the rival of the Netherlands, I am still very enamored of this place. Thank you for the prosperity that Your Majesty has brought to the Netherlands."

Talent! William IV gave the other party such a label.

However, the person nodded first, and then said: "Thank you for the like, and back to your question just now, less than 24 hours have passed since the alliance between Austria-Hungary and Germany, and countries around the world may be discussing it. There is no real system.

But you are blessed, I can answer your questions just right.”

William IV's words made people curious.
