Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 67

 

On February 27, 1862, seeking to promote the cooling of relations between the Belgian cabinet government and the royal family and the Dutch-speaking peoples, the Dutch cabinet Prime Minister Tolbeck issued an appointment approved by William IV. He gave the Dutch ambassador to Belgium. A new post for Ambassador John Carr, who has been appointed as the special coordinator for the Belgian-Dutch-speaking region, seeking to facilitate dialogue between Belgium and the heads of their six Dutch-speaking provinces

However, at a time when the relationship between Belgium and the Netherlands is not harmonious, some people are skeptical about the role of the Netherlands, thinking that this is just the Netherlands' efforts to open up Belgium and intervene.

When asked by a special invitation from the British "Financialist", Cambridge University President Smith believed that the appointment of the Dutch government and the Dutch royal family was intended to strengthen the extension of the Netherlands' recent series of diplomatic actions, and gradually became clear and intended to achieve The Netherlands is the third party to the tensions within Belgium, and instability in Belgium will affect the security of the Netherlands.

Therefore, it is even more reasonable for the Netherlands to hold the position of special envoy in the official capacity of the Dutch ambassador to Belgium.

It also highlights that the Kingdom of the Netherlands, taking advantage of the current chaotic period in Belgium, has strengthened its offensive in the gap between the local government and the cabinet, and injected factors into the Netherlands, so that the Netherlands can become an external force that Leopold I has to rely on, and it is even more important for the Netherlands. Rat-fighting has also added uncertainty to the Belgian general election.

The Neue Rotterdam newspaper, which has significant influence on Belgium, published the statement issued by Dutch Foreign Minister Heisbert Von, announcing the appointment of Ambassador John Carr, who is in charge of the Belgian embassy. Special coordinator for the Belgian-Dutch-speaking area, he also described the appointment as a demonstration of the Netherlands' commitment to helping the Dutch in Belgium and empowering them to 'communicate' with the Belgian royal family and the government.

Heisbert Feng emphasized that John Carr, on behalf of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, will coordinate the growing dissatisfaction of the Dutch-speaking area with the Belgian government and the royal family's dissatisfaction with the policy of the Dutch-speaking area. Implement targeted policies, programs and projects to help the Dutch-speaking community achieve maximum benefit protection.

The statement also said: "Specifically, he will communicate effectively between the Dutch-speaking region and the Belgian government to avoid sudden accidents, so as to support the provinces of the Dutch-speaking region and the Belgian government to negotiate a mutually satisfactory agreement."

Heisbet Von also added, "The people of the Dutch-speaking region are facing various encroachments from the Belgian government, and their livelihood plight is becoming more and more urgent. As the former homeland of the Dutch, we have an obligation to do something for them. anything in order to help them achieve the prosperous economic life that the Netherlands is developing today."

However, when John Carr presented the appointment letter to Belgian Prime Minister Alban in Brussels the day after the Dutch appointment, and declared that he was honored to serve the Dutch in the Dutch-speaking area, Alban did not He took over the appointment letter and expressed his disapproval of the Netherlands' view of the situation and overly sensitive sensory characteristics.

Orbon personally went into battle. In the press conference, he said that this is an internal matter in Belgium, and foreign countries should not interfere at will. He also said that Belgium is happy and economically prosperous, and it has even chased after the Netherlands.

"There is no need for some people in the Netherlands with ulterior motives to worry about it, and it is not the Netherlands' turn to point fingers at Belgium."

The prime minister also criticized the Netherlands for setting up a special coordinator for the Belgian-Dutch-speaking area in an attempt to interfere in Belgium's internal affairs. Belgium is resolutely dissatisfied and does not recognize the Dutch appointment.

He urged the Netherlands to stop using the ethnic identity of the Dutch-speaking area to interfere in Belgium's internal affairs, stressing that Belgium will take necessary measures when necessary to deal with the interests of the unity of the countries that violated Belgium's own sovereignty, and criticized the Netherlands' intentions Domestic manufacturing opposition to achieve certain ulterior motives.

The position of the special coordinator for the Belgian-Dutch-speaking area has been established in the Netherlands a few years ago, but appointments are only now being made, which has attracted the attention of many people.

In Europe's most influential newspaper "European Times", Hermann van Peron, a special political expert, believes:

In fact, the reason why the Netherlands started to set up a few years ago and is only appointed now is actually very simple, that is, the Dutch government is putting this position, and the British also reported that the British Empire invited Belgium to participate in overseas colonies and help Belgium build a few years ago. The Navy carried out the correlation.

As the UK announced its policy of supporting Belgium on February 26, there were reasons for the above. The Netherlands immediately showed the sword that had already been hanging over Belgium to show that the Netherlands was already ready. , to deal with the predictable tricks of Britain and Belgium.

Hermann van Peron believes that with the public appearance of the Dutch position, it doesn't matter whether Belgium admits it or not. He believes that people in the Dutch-speaking area will affirm the appointment of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Therefore, next, Belgium needs to face a more complicated situation.

Because those Dutch-speaking areas will have more reasons to resist the Orban government, the local government will also challenge the Orban government more. Among them, needless to say, in terms of foreign trade, they have signed a similar agreement with the Netherlands. The customs union agreement of the North German Confederation, he believes that Leopold I and Alban will certainly not worry about this, because Belgium also benefits economically.

On the contrary, what they are worried about is that with the emergence of the customs union, after the establishment of the North German state, the alliance established by Prussia, which was originally ignored by the Austrian leader, will eventually gradually form an invisible political alliance structure. .

If this also happened to the Dutch-speaking provinces and the Netherlands, it would definitely be an unacceptable consequence for them.

Therefore, their blocking is condemned by the local government and the people, because it will cause their economic losses, which will make the cabinet government and the local government more separated.

But if they agree, they will open a Pandora's box, and they will lose the possibility of controlling the whole country of Belgium.

In fact, the Netherlands has a long history of playing the Dutch-speaking area card.

Since January this year, the Dutch-speaking provinces have started to visit the Dutch provinces one after another. During their visit to Amsterdam at the same time, the heads of the six provinces were received by the Dutch Prime Minister Tolbeck, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Belgian cabinet government at that time.

Smith, president of Cambridge University, said in the "Financial Times" that with the announcement of the UK's policy to aid Belgium, the 'Dutch language card' has now been officially launched by the Netherlands, and it has become a special, but a Another key part of the Belgian Seven Inch, which became part of the Dutch attack on Belgium.

Even compared to the infiltration method used by Napoleon III in the French-speaking region, the Netherlands is actually more severe and aggressive than Napoleon III.

Smith believes that the special coordinator for the Belgian-Dutch-speaking area appointed by the Netherlands aims to further strengthen the rationality of its diplomatic control over Belgium, and at the same time highlights the serious internal conflicts in Belgium. , especially to warn the Belgian government with the help of the British Empire.

Hermann van Peron expects that the Kingdom of the Netherlands will have further contact with the leaders of the Belgian local government in the future, and even invited them to visit the Royal Palace of the Netherlands directly, giving them more support for coming to the Netherlands.

He even predicted that the Netherlands would not face the United Kingdom alone, and should join forces with the two new allies, France and Prussia, to play the 'Dutch card', 'French card', and 'Prussian'.

However, among the three countries, Prussia may not be as "trying hard" as the other two countries, because it is well known that Prussia's "Prussian School" has too little weight, and its influence is in the east of Luxembourg and Liege in Belgium.

At a time when the international order is changing rapidly, the general election results of West Flanders, the most western and only coastal province of Belgium, and East Flanders, which also belong to the western constituency, are yet another bright spot.

A few days ago, Joseph Beit defeated an aristocratic senator in the easternmost part of Belgium, and obtained a performance that made the whole of Europe shine.

Many people have labeled Joseph Bytt a political star. Even the major European newspapers, such as "European Times", "Financial Times", "Le Figaro", "New Rotterdam", "London Times", etc., report on his use of adversary-targeting techniques , When these newspapers reported it, Europeans felt incredible for such a means of attacking their opponents.

It's that simple?

Although everyone thought it was incredible, the result was right in front of them.

Therefore, now every Belgian candidate and their behind-the-scenes team are very cautious, and they don't dare to be careless, for fear of losing Jingzhou.

Voters in the western constituency played a similarly harsh game.

Ruthless calculation of pros and cons, but this time the unlucky one was a battle-hardened incumbent senator.

"Al Zeman is the chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee of the Belgian Senator. He has achieved a high status and great influence among the political agitators and 'coalition of spoilers' in Brussels. Such a cup of giant exists, No one dares to say that he can beat the other side, not to mention, he has been in the Senate for 6 years, and this is his second term."

Joseph Bait's most important staff, Hester, accurately analyzed the Western elections. They were not too carried away by the victory they had just won. Except for the initial celebration, they had used the fastest time to cool down that sentiment. Excited ~www.mtlnovel.com~ to get into shape and ready for the next quarter-finals across Belgium.

Now, apart from the first winner of the Eastern constituency, Joseph Beit, the current Prime Minister of the Central constituency, Orbon, also successfully defeated his opponent in the Capital Region yesterday, and waited steadily for others to go to Brussels to meet. See.

The French-speaking south is churning now, and the west is starting. The northern part is in the eastern constituency, so there is no candidate for the northern part. Now there are three clear candidates for the final four, there are almost no suspense, Joseph Beit in the eastern constituency, Alban in the central constituency, and Melante in the southern constituency. As for the western constituency, many people are not optimistic about the participation last year. Jules Danetang, who was elected as a senator, was only 31 years old, and his opponent Al Zeman had too strong qualifications and connections.

Most importantly, he is not an out-of-towner like Joseph Bytt's opponents.

Therefore, when many people are not optimistic about Jules Danetang, Bait said: "Don't draw too early conclusions, the truth, before it starts to be confirmed, anyone may be a suspect, not to mention elections, in short, My sixth sense tells me that this Danetang will be my rival for life."

However, Danetang is generally not favored. Can he really kill the opponent and become Bait's opponent?
