Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

On June 6, 1866, the six Germanic nation-states of Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Prussia, and Austria held a press conference in Stockholm.

They officially announced the establishment of an annual meeting of members of the Germanic nation. Starting from this year, it will be held every summer in the future. The venue will be held in various countries in turn. Next year's host country will be Denmark. Held in the capital Copenhagen.

The Six Nations also announced that they would establish a Germanic National Foundation to search for ancient German historical resources and promote the ancient heritage of the Six Nations.

The six countries also announced that they will jointly maintain shipping security in Northern Europe, the North Atlantic and the Baltic Sea, and that it is necessary to cooperate closely to resolve disputes between them in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.

Britain, Prussia, and Austria officially announced on the same day that they would apply to William IV to join the Dutch-led International Court of Justice in The Hague.

After the news came out, it immediately caused a huge effect.

Because with the joining of these countries, the status of the International Court of Justice in The Hague of the Netherlands has become more consolidated.

At this time, the Kingdom of Siam (later Thailand) in the Far East announced its application to join the court, which really attracted the attention of the world at once.

After all, it's okay for a country in the Far East that is not taken seriously to join an institution that even major European countries are hesitant to join.

As a result, many countries began to show interest in the Kingdom of Siam. It was okay if they didn’t understand it, but they were shocked once they understood it.

The Kingdom of Siam was actually surrounded by the British in the south and west, France in the east, and the Qing Dynasty in the north. Surrounded by such three powers, it survived intact?

This has attracted more attention from European and American countries.

As the cause was revealed, the King of Siam actually made friends with Queen Victoria, exchanged letters with Napoleon III, and met with King William IV of the Netherlands in Jakarta, the largest city in the Dutch East Indies, and purchased Dutch arms and industrial products for maintenance. For his own safety, 8 million Siamese people supported his rule, which made both Britain and France wary. The Netherlands also safeguarded many interests of the Kingdom of Siam.

As more information was "leaked", the country of Siam actually appeared in newspapers in many countries in Europe and America, attracting the attention of many Europeans and Americans.

In short, this Stockholm Conference has made the world calm on the surface but undercurrents are turbulent, making many people begin to worry about the future development of the world.

While everyone in the world was paying attention to the possibility of new members of the German National Conference and the International Court of Justice in The Hague, they did not realize that other things were also evolving, not even less than the changes in the situation of the Germanic countries forming a group.

At the same time, in Suriname, the only overseas province of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in South America, in the Governor's Palace in Paramaribo, the capital, Prime Minister Tolbeck of the Netherlands was meeting with important guests, including Argentine President Mitre and Ecuadorian President Moreno. , Venezuelan President Herrera and Colombian President Mosquera.

Venezuelan President Herrera was born in the city of Acarigua in Venezuela in 1779. In 1810, he participated in the War of Independence against Spanish rule. In 1817, he joined the Patriot Army of Venezuelan Simon Glassvar, the anti-Spanish leader in South America. He participated in the Battle of Carabobo in 1821, and later received the rank of major general and was appointed the highest official in Venezuela. In 1822, Venezuela was founded and became its first president.

and became the second president in 1839. However, because he was persecuted by his opponents in 1849, he fled overseas and eventually moved to the Dutch East Indies. After being known by William IV, he began to support him. He finally returned in 1859 and was re-elected as the President of Venezuela in 1861. .

The trajectories of Colombian President Mosquera and Ecuadorian President Moreno are also similar. They both fell from power many times due to domestic opposition and eventually fled overseas. They were found and supported by the Dutch International Intelligence Agency and regained power. Therefore, Established an unusually close relationship with the Netherlands.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that the Netherlands has organized several countries together. Before, each country did not know that each other had such a close relationship with the Netherlands, so they were embarrassed when they first met.

Among them, Tolbeck has the most distinguished status, because looking at the speaker's oval table, Tolbeck is sitting in the middle opposite, with Argentine President Miret on the right and Venezuelan President Herrera on the left. Second from the right is Colombian President Mosquera. Second from the left is Ecuadorian President Moreno.

In the West, the right is respected, so the national status of the presidents sitting at this meeting in South America can be seen from the seats.

Tolbeck looked at these South American presidents in front of him and sighed in his heart. If the world was exposed, these presidents were actually the presidents of countries that the Netherlands had secretly been friends with for many years, and many of them even came to power with the help of the Netherlands. Come to think of it, It is enough to shock many people around the world. Even Tolbeck still feels as if he is in a dream, which is unbelievable.

However, speaking of it, the one with the most “clean wealth” is Argentine President Mitre.

Yes, Mitre, the powerful president of Argentina, is also here today. He came here at the invitation of Tolbeck, the powerful prime minister of the Netherlands. Of course, this is true if William IV is not counted.

The reason why everyone gathered here this time is also because the Netherlands "distributes sugar" here, that is, the Netherlands is prepared to lure most of them with "benefits". In any case, after years of development, these countries have now become the Netherlands' Close partner.

Seeing that the presidents of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and other countries were waiting for Tolbek's speech, Mitre was a little envious of Tolbek, even though the other party was just a subordinate of William IV, and he was the prime minister with only more than three years left in his term. Compared with himself, he was suppressed by the powerful William IV, and he could even amend the Argentine constitution to protect himself in order to stay in power for a long time.

Although he has sat in this position longer, the other party's international status and weight are not something he can compare to.

"Everyone, you can come here today. This shows that everyone has a common goal and I believe everyone knows that the positions are similar. Here, thank you very much for coming to our overseas province of the Netherlands, Suriname, Mitte. President Lei, please speak first.”

Mitre stood up and bowed to everyone as a European gentleman, thanked everyone, and finally took his seat. Mitre said, "Thank you very much, Prime Minister Tolbeck, for your warm hospitality. The food here is good. Of course, the Netherlands is fully committed to developing the economy here." It has also put pressure on all countries in South America. Over the years, Suriname has become the most developed place in South America in less than ten years, with a population of more than 500,000, and has become a shopping paradise and living mecca in South America. I didn’t believe it before, but after coming here this time, I feel a little reluctant to leave.”

Several other presidents also showed signs of nostalgia and laughed kindly.

Mitre entered the topic seriously and said: "South America does not need a war. This is the idea of ​​our Argentinian citizens and the foreign policy formulated by our government. Therefore, we are now facing the turf war between Brazil and Paraguay in Uruguay. I feel very dangerous. I am afraid of a terrible war in South America. Look at the Balkan Peninsula in Europe now, and then look at the Prussian-Danish War and the Prussian-Austrosian War. They were all devastating. The war displaced people and impoverished families. Straight up the body.

Therefore, I implore all colleagues to support Argentina’s position in the future and maintain peace and order in South America.”
