v3 Chapter 518： Like Shakespeare, the British have too much imagination

Opening 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne Chapter 518 Like Shakespeare, the British have too many imaginations

Reporter: "Isn't it because the internal instability of the Kingdom of Prussia has restrained a lot of internal government forces, so other countries should be more at ease?"

William IV: "No, I think on the contrary, it is precisely because of internal problems that Prussia may take a risk and launch a war to divert its target abroad. This will condense patriotic forces at home and increase the sense of pride in realizing the identity of Great Prussia. That's what worries me the most."

Reporter: "Your Majesty thinks that Prussia will target the Netherlands?"

William IV: "Why not?"

Reporter: "I thought Prussia would set its sights on Denmark, because the whole world knows that Prussia did this last time, and even got the dominion of Schleswig and Holstein, and even got in the hole. A handful of the Kingdom of Austria"

William IV: "It was like this last time, but it doesn't mean it is the same this time. In fact, many people are more suspicious that the target will be the Austro-Hungarian Empire where Austria is located, but the target of Prussia should not be it"

Reporter: "If your Majesty is Bismarck, who would your Majesty think would be better for Prussia to attack?"

William IV: "Haha, if you are sure and win the battle, I think the British Empire is the best, because the British Empire was defeated by Prussia, and other countries, in front of the army powers that Prussia incorporated the British Empire Navy, actually left. All that is left are those who can only bow their heads.”

Reporter: "Including the French Empire?"

William IV: "I don't think the French Empire is an exception"

Reporter: "Returning to the topic just now, the Speaker of the House of Representatives Huntington of the Netherlands visited Spain. I mean suppose that if he declares his support for Spain on the issue of Spain's disputed territorial sovereignty over Gibraltar, the Netherlands will meet the United Kingdom. What countermeasures?"

William IV: "Assuming success, I don't think there will be much action in the UK, because it is not consistent with what the UK has always done"

Reporter: "Your Majesty's so-called consistent actions mean?"

William IV: "Britain doesn't like talking to other countries, and prefers direct and effective actions, and Prime Minister Tolbek has hinted several times that Huntington does not represent the Dutch government, but only himself. I think the British act with us. the same system, they will understand the language implied in us.”

Reporter: "But the people in London are angry. The British government may not take advantage of the situation and make unfavorable actions against the Netherlands."

William IV: "You also said that this is a hypothetical issue. Of course, as you said, the worst was planned. But I think the British Disraeli government will respond to the case"

Reporter: "What if it really happened? What plan does the Netherlands have to deal with the British countermeasures?"

William IV: "If that's the case, I think the plan that the Tolbek government has prepared at the moment can be used"

Yawen Bar

Reporter: "Your Majesty is saying that Prime Minister Tolbeck has formulated a response plan?"

William IV: "Yes, and Fang is lying still on my desk"

Reporter: "My God, you mean that everything that happened, you and Prime Minister Tolbeck have already anticipated the consequences?"

William IV: "This is something that can't be helped. The separation of powers. Sometimes, as an executive branch, although Tolbek does not like the parliament's involvement in diplomacy, he will not prevent this from happening, because he does not have this right. And this is the power of the Speaker that is protected by the Dutch constitution.”

Reporter: "However, as the commander-in-chief of the Dutch Armed Forces, government departments, the Supreme Court and the Parliament, His Majesty has a binding role for them, and all legislation needs to be signed by your Majesty before it takes effect. They all have the greatest influence. In this case, if His Majesty comes forward, I think Speaker Huntington will not step out of the Netherlands to Spain again. I think many people in the UK think this way.”

William IV: "But in doing so, I have an unconstitutional precedent for the constitution, and yes, as a king, I can legally exercise some special powers. And as you said, I can prevent it.

But if I need to dissuade me in this way, then I can stop the actions of the heads of government and speakers of each term, as well as the Supreme-House-President, etc. in the future. In this way, my king will face intervention in the administration, the judiciary, and the parliament, which will become the source of the chaos of Dutch control. "

Reporter: "Maybe the British don't think so?"

William IV: "The Netherlands is not responsible for British opinions. So at this point, I feel that if Huntington is representing a person, then I would be even more reluctant to intervene in the views he wants to express.

Just as I am reluctant to condemn Bismarck's government when it annexed the German Confederation, I feel that it would make matters worse. You know, now I don't directly criticize Napoleon III for waging war in the Far East Kingdom of Siam, because I think it would be more appropriate for a professional government of Prime Minister Tolbek to do it."

Reporter: "The British will think that His Majesty or Prime Minister Tolbeck is playing a double yellow with the Speaker of the House of Representatives Huntington, one to ease the situation and the other to launch an attack on Britain. Is this right?"

William IV: "You said what the British said, in fact, I feel even more that the Netherlands is doing the most peaceful thing for the world"

reporter:"?"

William IV: "Because we have avoided the war far away in recent years On the contrary, Britain has suffered repeated defeats"

reporter:"???"

William IV: "It is because the British imagination is too rich, so it was born such as "David Copperfield", "The Pickwick Papers", "A Tale of Two Cities", "Oliver Twist" and "Old Curio Shop" "Charles Dickens" and other works, "Mary Barton", "Ruth", "North and South" and other good works such as Yin Lisabai Gaskell, wrote "Sherry", "The Teacher" and other good works Charlotte Bronte .

It also gave birth to William Shakespeare, one of Europe's greatest writers. All I can say is that many people in the UK are too smart, but sometimes overthink it. "

Reporter: "So, the Netherlands is not engaging in the double yellow movement?"

William IV: "If there were, I wouldn't be a part of it"

Reporter: "His Majesty is really humorous. Will the UK be so embarrassed and angry that it will make an excessive counterattack against the Netherlands?"

William IV: "If Britain really thinks it needs it, then I think the Netherlands will have a response. As I said, Prime Minister Tolbeck's plan is on my desk."

Reporter: "What plan?"

William IV: "I haven't seen it, so I can't answer your question"

Reporter: "Okay, Your Majesty mentioned Napoleon III just now, and also mentioned that France launched the invasion of Cambodia in the Far East Kingdom of Siam in the Far Eastern colony of South Vietnam. I would like to ask Your Majesty, what is the current attitude of the Netherlands towards France?" +Bookmark+
