Opening 1861: I've Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 514 The Voice of Berlin

On the evening of February 19, 1869, although the British fleet in the same area tried to obstruct and threaten, but to avoid a direct naval battle with the Netherlands, at the last moment, the Dutch fleet finally formed a team of parliamentarians composed of the Speaker of the Dutch House of Representatives Huntington on the Dutch Rotterdam. Escorted by a fleet of battleships, they officially landed in Gijón, a port city in northern Spain.

Europe shook as the news broke.

The navies of Britain, France, Spain and the Netherlands are still wandering back in the area. Obviously, they are all watching Huntington's statement after landing in Spain, and then proceeding to the next action after receiving domestic orders from various countries.

At the same time, Swedish Prime Minister Count Louis Sr. visited Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and made it clear that the other party announced, "Sweden agrees with the diplomatic position of the Netherlands and does not believe that Huntington's visit to Spain will cause any harm to the United Kingdom, because it is in line with the normal travel activities of a sovereign country. "I don't think there's anything wrong with Speaker Huntington's visit, because the great Dutch speaker also visited Stockholm, Sweden last year, and we warmly welcomed him in the Swedish House of Representatives, he's a very great statesman."

On the same day, the Spanish government held a welcoming ceremony for Huntington, and the Spanish Speaker of the House of Representatives Julian personally went to the port of Gijón to welcome Huntington. guess.

In addition, the French Empire seems to have been stimulated and launched a more vigorous attack in the Cambodian area of ​​the Siamese Empire in the Far East. At present, more than two-thirds of the territory of the Cambodian area has fallen into the hands of France.

And the Laos area in the northern part of the Kingdom of Siam is also due to France's westward attack in the direction of North Vietnam. Almost one-third of Laos' territory was invaded by France, which makes people feel that France seems to be moving faster and faster in the direction of victory. It seems that Libra is increasingly pressing on the French Empire.

"We strongly condemn Britain's hesitancy in supporting the Kingdom of Siam. In recent months, the British position has taken a step back from the strong initial support for the Kingdom of Siam from the Malay peninsula, which makes us Very disappointed, apparently the UK, as a world power, seems to be going backwards on humanitarian issues, this is an insult to a great power that shouts every day that balancing tactics are for world peace and European peace, we call on the UK to stand One side of the historical team, not the other way around.

The International Society of the Red Cross firmly supports the relief work of the victims' country, the Kingdom of Siam. We have received financial support from all over the world to maintain the operation of the organization and save the wounded. Again, we also call on Napoleon III to stop aggression against other countries, because the Far East There is a popular saying here, called the cause of today, the effect of tomorrow. The aggression imposed by the French Empire today will come upon itself sooner or later, according to Buddhism. "

ElBaradei, the first director-general of the International Society of the Red Cross, said: "Peace is hard-won, and I hope Napoleon III will cherish it."

As far away as Berlin, Bismarck and other high-level officials of the Kingdom of Prussia became strange, and when they heard ElBaradei's appeal, they changed.

Bismarck in this case, accepted an interview from the "European Times".

In the end, when Bismarck was asked this question by a reporter, and even more so when he was asked what he thought of ElBaradei's statement, he could only say meaningfully: "The speech of the International Red Cross is very expressive, Prussian Very interested, but seriously, what he said has aroused the approval of many Prussians. We in Prussia also think that the French in the Far East are too much, but we will not impose economic sanctions on France, not like the Netherlands. , because we are a big country, and in the way of doing things, we need to take into account the national interests of Prussia, rather than being impatient."

reporter:"?"

Bismarck: "However, we are very interested in the visit of the Dutch Speaker of the House of Representatives Huntington to Spain"

Reporter: "What is your opinion on this, Your Excellency the Prime Minister?"

Bismarck: "I think my views are similar to those of the Swedish Prime Minister, Count Louis Sr., we do not think the Dutch action is an affront to Britain, because at the moment it seems that Huntington has done nothing to harm British interests, of course, if there is , that's another matter."

Reporter: "Meaning that the Prime Minister supports his visit to Spain?"

Bismarck: "I think this is a concept of stealing a new pillar, because from the very beginning, the proposition is that it is not wrong for the Speaker of the Dutch House of Representatives to visit Spain. The United Kingdom is afraid of Huntington's support for Spain's position in Gibraltar in the past, so it will oppose the visit, right? So I don't think the visit itself is the problem, the problem is the content published after the visit"

Reporter: "It means that His Excellency Bismarck thinks that Prussia is observing whether he is provoking Britain next, and it is the correct judgment?"

Bismarck: "Yes, I think it was the same idea in London and Paris, and that's why the British fleet finally gave up blocking the landing of the Speaker of the Huntington House outside Gijon."

Reporter: "What does the Prime Minister think about the relationship between Prussia and the Netherlands?"

Bismarck: "Eat and drink as much as you want, that's what we say"

reporter:"?"

Bismarck: "Simply put, Prussia has been friendly to the Netherlands from the very beginning~www.mtlnovel.com~ We used to be close, but after a period of disgust, and now everything seems to be back on track, so for now The relationship between the two countries is not close, but it is not hostile either.”

Reporter: "Is the rivalry between Prussia and the Netherlands in North America still going on?"

Bismarck: "The world is striving for competitiveness every day. I can summarize it as man's destruction of nature in order to survive, just like the need to pull weeds for farming, it is also an unfairness to the grass. In fact, it is understandable. You know, the relationship between the UK and France is slowing down, and the UK and France are still competing for areas in the English Channel. Of course, the two countries have carried out a lot of cooperation. For example, it is said that the UK and France are currently in Spain , started having a lot of conversations"

Reporter: "Can you talk about the detailed cooperation?"

Bismarck: "I'm sorry, it's confidential, but I can't tell you."

Reporter: "Is there any possibility of cooperation between the Netherlands and Prussia at present? What we are interested in is, how far is the relationship between Prussia and the Netherlands currently maintained?"

Bismarck: "The Netherlands is our friend. We were allies in 1862, at least on African issues. We have a good relationship. As for the relationship? I can only tell you that the relationship between Berlin and Amsterdam does not include you. It's as bad as everyone thinks, and we often talk to each other about cooperation with each other's ambassadors."

Reporter: "Cooperation? Recently? Can you talk about the cooperation?"
