Gambit 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 501 Rebuttal from Vienna

As soon as Bismarck's content was announced, it shocked the whole of Europe. It seems that this person who is very famous in Europe has become the mainstream of everyone. Of course, in it, Spain seems to have become a "harlequin", so the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs even summoned for this. The Prussian ambassador to Spain expressed dissatisfaction.

The Netherlands even criticized Berlin's statement for this, and Heisbert Von said that he would not comment on Bismarck's approach because he thought it was not worth mentioning.

......

Whether Huntington, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, visits Spain and announces his support for Spain's "ambition" is not only closely watched by the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Spain, but Bismarck's speech in the House of Representatives of the Kingdom of Prussia shows that the world is also highly concerned about whether Huntington can make the trip.

A discerning person can see that Bismarck seems to have the intention to belittle the Netherlands and Spain, but some people disagree. This person is the Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Archduke Rainer Ferdinand. He seems to be in the ring just like Bismarck. The Prime Minister's speech at the Vienna Parliament seemed to be more Dutch.

"London's opposition to Huntington's visit to Spain has gradually increased. After the "Spanish Herald" disclosed the matter on the 9th, the United Kingdom began to express its firm opposition to Huntington's visit to Spain during his visit to Spain. , emphasizing that if the Dutch government does not block his approach, it will seriously undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the United Kingdom.

After Tolbeck, the Dutch Prime Minister, said on February 11 that the military considered it inappropriate, British officials emphasized in a more severe tone that once Huntington visited Spain and expressed his support for Spain's "advocacy", the United Kingdom would take necessary actions to deal with it. Fight back and do what you say.

London privately went a step further and warned the Tolbek government through multiple channels that it would not rule out a military confrontation if Huntington's visit to Spain and his claims went unchecked.

However, many people seem to have forgotten that the Netherlands is the same as the United States of America and the United Kingdom.

Apparently the UK seems to ignore this.

Under the Dutch three-power-separation system, the cabinet government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Dutch parliament have equal status and are not subordinate to each other. Because it would be against the Dutch constitution if Prime Minister Tolbeck interfered with the Huntington Speaker's visit.

Since the cabinet government and the Legislative Assembly have the same status, Tolbeck can only respect the decision of the Speaker of the House of Representatives Huntington. If the Speaker of the House of Representatives Huntington decides to visit Spain and announce the purpose of the visit, Tolbek, as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, can only do his best. To cooperate, it is even necessary to send warships to **** them. If you go overland, you need to communicate with France. Of course, with the current tension between the Netherlands and France, no one will think that he will pass through France. In any case, Tolbek must cooperate with Huntington's visit. Otherwise it would be dereliction of duty under the Constitution.

Secondly, Huntington has always been known for his firm opposition to Britain and France in the Dutch parliament, and even for this internal election in the Netherlands, he wants to keep his position, so he naturally hopes to visit Spain when he has power, in order to absorb those who oppose The votes of Britain and France can also fulfill his wish of "honorable qualifications" for his success in the post of Speaker, which is also human. From the perspective of his personality, which has always been anti-British, French, and supportive of Spain and Northern Europe for more than 30 years, Speaker Huntington has a strong willingness to visit Spain and support Spain's position, so there should be no suspense.

In fact, 30 years ago in 184, when His Majesty Willem I at that time conferred the throne of the Netherlands to his son Willem II, Speaker Huntington, who was only a member of parliament at the time, asked His Majesty Willem II, who had just succeeded to the throne of the Netherlands, to show his commitment to him. His father, His Majesty William I, had a different policy towards Britain, because the British had just sent warships to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, and Rotterdam, the second largest city, to bombard the coastal waters.

In the end, His Majesty William I was forced to agree to the independence of Belgium as a kingdom in 1839. Since 1839, Huntington, as a member of parliament, formed an anti-British group in the Dutch parliament and became the leader.

"Treading the Stars"

Now 30 years later, the anti-British group that was originally established has pushed Huntington to the post of Speaker and has a huge influence in the Dutch House of Representatives.

As a result, unfriendly resolutions have been passed from time to time in the Netherlands, and the reasons for their success can be found.

Now Huntington is not the Wuxia Amon 30 years ago, and the national strength of the Netherlands is even Wuxia Amon. If London thinks that the UK's national strength today still wants to run over the Netherlands as it did in the past, forcing the Netherlands to suffer a big loss, there will be unexpected risks.

Perhaps the Netherlands officially wants to challenge this matter, and I am afraid it has made the mistake of underestimating the opponent's amount.

From Amsterdam's point of view, the Dutch cabinet government is trying to organize Huntington's visit to Spain and curb his political inclinations by cooperating with the UK in this weak situation. Isn't the Netherlands self-confessed that it is not willing to threaten the UK?

Finally, Speaker Huntington’s visit to Spain also reflects the differences in strategic thinking between the UK and the Netherlands. Amsterdam clearly believes that if the UK organizes Huntington’s visit to Spain to be effective, it will not only mean that the UK has been overwhelmed by the UK when it challenges the UK in the Netherlands’ foreign relations, but also Showing the UK's ability to oppose any visit to the UK that the Netherlands thinks should not be done in the future

If London successfully opposes Speaker Huntington's visit to Spain and the Netherlands retreats, it will show that 'the west wind prevails over the east wind'. From now on, the Netherlands will no longer have the capital to abuse the British Empire, and the Netherlands will no longer have the power to challenge Britain's status. , and even neutered Dutch diplomacy for this.

Once Prime Minister Thorbeck agrees to the UK's request and discourages the Speaker of the House of Representatives Huntington from visiting the Spanish Gibraltar border, the Dutch's right to speak on Spanish issues will gradually be marginalized or weakened.

More importantly, once Prime Minister Torbeck succumbed to British pressure over the Huntington Speaker's visit to Spain, would future Dutch allies in the world be able to trust the Dutch government's commitment? The Tolbek government has repeatedly shown affection with Spain, and has continued to maintain its relationship with Spain, which has triggered a great positive response in Spain. Once the Netherlands compromised with the United Kingdom, it means that the Dutch government headed by Tolbek is supporting Spain. Confrontation The promise of Britain and France will be broken immediately, and no one in the world will believe the promise of the Netherlands, and the credit of the Netherlands in the world will be completely bankrupt. +Bookmark+
