Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 374

"The defeat in North America was brought on by the British, and the war with the Boers in South Africa was the bane of a long-term policy"

Speaking of this, William IV sternly said: "In these years in Europe, the British Empire has fanned the flames behind the countries competing for hegemony on the European continent. After the second goods have caught fire, they accuse others of not being able to help them. This is really not a responsible person's behavior. Of course, it is not enough to maintain what I just said about the UK's practice of establishing a middle-aged 'prestige'.

As the initiator, the person who started the fire should consider how to take practical actions to put out the fire as soon as possible, instead of blaming others. If you blame the Netherlands for destroying Anglo-Dutch relations as the Crown Prince Edward just did, as the king of the Netherlands, I can frankly tell everyone here and HRH Prince Edward, the Netherlands does not accept this accusation from the UK and HRH the Crown Prince"

William IV's answer made many people here very upset, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a surge of emotions.

Crown Prince Edward laughed angrily and said: "His Majesty keeps saying that he respects other countries, but I saw figures everywhere in the Netherlands during the internal struggles of the Commonwealth of Millikin in North America. I think the joint publication should respect the Commonwealth of Millikin. The principles of national sovereignty and territorial integrity are the same as the rules you advocated for the establishment of the International Hague Tribunal. The Netherlands has an obligation to urge others to abide by it, but it should also restrain itself. Mi should take the opportunity to get out of the United States of America and build its own moral commanding heights. Yes, instead of reaching out to the Commonwealth of Millikin"

'You're not qualified to tell the Netherlands what to do'

Ignoring Prince Edward's blackened face, William IV proudly said, "As for how to respect national sovereignty and territorial integrity, the Royal Palace of the Netherlands has its own principles, and the UK is probably not qualified to outline how the Netherlands should do it."

Prime Minister Disraeli said at this time: "His Majesty William IV's words seem refreshing, but you should know that the House of Commons of the British Empire where you are now is the greatest and most powerful place in Britain, Your Majesty. If you say it, it is suspected of tarnishing the sacred land of Britain, you should know that what you said just now is suspected of intimidating Britain.”

Prince Edward is a political ally of Disraeli. As the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he watched the future king be humiliated. Disraeli knew that he could no longer stand by, whether it was public or private.

Disraeli's relationship with Prince Edward is known not only in British politics, but even among the people.

Even many people wonder if Queen Victoria, mother and son, are singing double reeds and betting on both parties.

However, William IV didn't care. To put it bluntly, these are the domestic situations in the UK. No matter how strong the Kingdom of the Netherlands is, it is difficult to intervene in the interior of the UK. At least at the top of the UK, the Netherlands can only make good friends, and it is difficult to reach Belgium or Milley. Like other countries like Jian, there are hidden chess in ambush everywhere.

However, what did William IV think? In the left corner of the British House of Commons, he saw two figures wearing blue and white shirts today.

Go to the hospital councilor?

It's not bad, the small sapling will grow into a towering tree one day, but it's not in a hurry.

"No, no, absolutely nothing like that." He was not surprised by Disraeli's standing up. After showing respect to Disraeli with a smile, he seemed to explain: "For national sovereignty and territorial integrity, the Netherlands The people have a particularly real and profound understanding and feeling. At the beginning of this century, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was invaded by the French Empire under the leadership of Napoleon I, and the Netherlands almost wiped out the country. Therefore, the Netherlands has an unforgettable memory of the loss of power and humiliation. Tragic memory."

That's why people reacted at this time, yes, the Netherlands was occupied by the First French Empire led by Napoleon.

In 1795, the Netherlands was occupied by the First French Empire, the Netherlands was destroyed, and Napoleon I established the Republic of Batavia, the puppet government of the First Republic of the French Empire. The consequence was that the "European coachman" flourished in Europe. The Dutch colonial system established by the bond gradually disintegrated. In 1806, Napoleon I appointed his younger brother, Louis Bonaparte, the king of the Netherlands, and the Netherlands was named a kingdom by Napoleon I.

In 1810, for better management, Napoleon I incorporated him into the French Empire.

In 1814, France was defeated in the Napoleonic Wars. In the following year, under the promotion of the Tsarist Russian Empire Paul I, and with the consent of the Holy Allies of the United Kingdom, the Austrian Empire, and the Kingdom of Prussia, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg established the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Nassau-Orange family became the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The royal family, the return of the Netherlands. At the beginning, Britain was still a hero, but then in 1830, the late former Prime Minister Viscount Palmerston's famous work-led the promotion of Belgium's independence from the Netherlands in 1830, causing the two countries to change from allies to enemies.

It is precisely because of this that many people questioned whether Palmerston's over-friendliness towards the Netherlands was an act of atonement during the Viscount Palmerston's administration a few years ago.

William IV knew how to exploit the weaknesses of human nature. Just like before, with just a little guidance, these Englishmen will be dragged into the indebtedness he weaves. This won sympathy for Holland, although he knew he would not survive long in the presence of political ambitions.

But for now, it's enough for him.

So, William IV continued: "It may not resonate with all of you in the not-too-distant 50-year-old massacre, because the British Empire doesn't know this feeling, what does it feel like? Well, just like myself His mother died suddenly, and he became as miserable and helpless as someone else's slave.

Of course, maybe it's the same way people of Irish descent in North America complain about what the British Empire did on the island of Ireland."

Hesbert Feng's face changed greatly upon hearing this~www.mtlnovel.com~ His Majesty dared to mention the island of Ireland in the British Parliament, His Majesty is too unbelievable. You know, this is the heart of the United Kingdom. In this political heart, it is said that the Irish who were annexed by the United Kingdom are pitiful and sympathetic to them.

This time, even Queen Victoria can't maintain her royal poise.

She secretly said: "Sure enough, I am not afraid of the sky and the earth."

However, in the face of many people who came to ask whether to stop William IV's speech, she shook her head.

This disappointed Prince Edward and many others.

Many people thought to themselves at the same time: I don't know what other shocking words will be said by William IV and others.

William IV didn't seem to know that he was about to be interrupted, but continued: "Of course, the Netherlands is a country that respects the territorial integrity of the country, and it respects the national sovereignty of the United Kingdom, so we in the Netherlands will not conduct any internal affairs of the United Kingdom. Any accusation will not intervene in it.”

After speaking, he looked at Prince Edward with a sincere face, but his eyes were full of ridicule.
