Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Chapter 546 The amazing case of Madagascar

On April 20, 1869, the Dutch liberals announced that they would recruit party members into the Liberal Party in Africa and the Far East.

The liberals' move was welcomed by many indigenous people in the Dutch Far East and Africa.

However, the Christian sect remained indifferent and said they would not change their original intention.

As a result, the international community saw that among the liberals, many liberals who were originally conservative and in the center expressed their unwillingness to accept the transformation of liberals led by liberal leaders such as Tolbeck, so they would quit the party and at the same time announced that they would join the party. Christian sect.

Many people in the Christian sect also followed the transformation of liberalism and came to liberalism.

Such drastic changes between the Dutch ruling party and the opposition party have attracted the attention of the international community.

Everyone was surprised as to why the Netherlands did this.

As I learned more about it, I realized that it was all because of the British behind it.

The British actually used the close relationship between the indigenous people in the colonial Sudan and the indigenous people in the Dutch Congo, Uganda and Kenya, as well as the indigenous people in the British colonies on the Malay Peninsula to influence the Dutch indigenous people on the island of Kalimantan, etc., so that these were too lazy to talk to the indigenous people. The local Dutch provincial government, municipal government and town government, where people hold key positions, expressed dissatisfaction.

It was obvious that the British were trying to arouse the Dutch natives' dissatisfaction with Dutch rule and support the challenge to Dutch rule.

But now the Netherlands has taken advantage of the situation and responded to the British disturbance, and judging from the effect, it seems that it is really in place.

This has made many people in the world lament that the Netherlands is still the same Netherlands, and that the UK is still unable to beat the Netherlands in this kind of competition.

British Empire, Buckingham Palace.

Prime Minister Disraeli met with Prince Edward and Queen Victoria of England at Buckingham Palace.

Speaking of which, the British launch of the indigenous Dutch African attack on the Netherlands began when Crown Prince Edward encouraged Queen Victoria to allow him to launch a final flank attack on William IV.

Throughout the whole process, Disraeli, the prime minister, was just a supporter.

The tactics were immature. If it were Disraeli, he would never let the Netherlands deal with it so easily. Now the Netherlands obviously directly took the indigenous elites under its banner and immediately defused the tricks launched by Crown Prince Edward.

He understood that this was the starting move prepared by Queen Victoria for the future King of England. No king could do it right away. All of them had to be trained.

Crown Prince Edward said angrily: "The one who hit me back this time must be William IV. Only he would play like this. That old fool Tolbeck would never dare to make such a big move. If he hadn't made the move, Tolbeck would have done it." Will the Erbeck government also lose its skin?”

After finishing speaking, he sighed with great regret.

He had to admit that he seemed to have never won a match against William IV. Every time the two of them faced off, it was always him who suffered the defeat. Ever since they competed for his favorite Danish princess Alexandra (his queen in the previous life) , now Queen of the Netherlands to William IV,) and after losing, he continues to lose to this day.

Queen Victoria waited for him to complain, then pointed at Disraeli with a cold expression.

The present is not the future. Queen Victoria, the most powerful country in the hands of the British Prime Minister, in later generations, in addition to being the most powerful person in the country's military, is almost a mascot.

The reason is naturally because the so-called democracy promoted by the United States for many years has successfully diluted the status of the European royal family in the hearts of the people.

Whether European countries are constitutional monarchies or presidential systems, they are not much different from the American system.

Only in this way can the United States break the loyalty of various countries to the royal family, and these European elites will immigrate to the United States, or in other words, the United States can use them and support them to become the agents of the United States in European countries, thereby safeguarding the United States' control in Europe. Is it commercial or strategic?

However, in the UK now, the status of the royal family is definitely beyond the reach of the Prime Minister, and Queen Victoria's status is one of the few strong British kings who has centralized power in the UK in recent years.

Under such circumstances, Disraeli, the prime minister, could only report on his work almost every day.

The so-called "acting based on Queen Victoria's face" has actually become the most important thing for several British prime ministers to do in recent years.

Queen Victoria's face was cold, Disraeli and Prince Edward had a sudden thought, and couldn't help but lower their heads slightly.

Queen Victoria: "Since 1864, the liberals in the Netherlands, under the leadership of Prime Minister Tolbeck's cabinet in the past eight years, have become the most influential faction in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, including the mainland, the Far East, Africa, and the Americas. Now they are trying to fight back. In the dispute between white people and indigenous people provoked by the British, William IV had already adopted the liberal approach of including the indigenous people. As a result, the Netherlands consolidated its dominance in the Far East and Africa, but made Britain an international laughing stock.

The liberal party currently has a grand committee in Sydney, state committees in the capitals of provinces in the Far East of the Netherlands and Africa, and grassroots committees in municipal constituencies in these provinces. Small branches are even more numerous. For example, it is said that there are 500 branches in Uganda and Congo next to our colonial Sudan. Prime Minister Disraeli, tell me, how does Britain continue to push the indigenous people who influence the Netherlands to challenge the rule of the white Dutch? Please tell me, okay? "

Disraeli said with a wry smile: "In 1868, the Dutch Christian sect had 230,000 party members. The liberals had 300,000 party members in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, and established indigenous party member organizations in various branches. At that time There are more than 10,000 members of the indigenous party, but in the past week, this number has doubled to 23,000. It is conceivable that the indigenous components of the liberal party will increase in the future, although the number of members of the two parties will not be due to strictness. will increase too quickly.

But after the liberals take over the natives, it is absolutely certain that the Netherlands' position will be consolidated. The natives will no longer focus on resisting the Dutch Kingdom's government and the royal family, but will focus on effectively fighting with the white Christian political parties. The struggle was framed by His Majesty William IV and Prime Minister Tolbeck in a factional dispute, which instantly suppressed the conflicts that the indigenous people were about to get angry about."

Crown Prince Edward also said with a wry smile: “It was originally intended to lead the Dutch natives to fight with the white Dutch and to demonstrate against the promulgation of the Dutch racial inequality policy. During the great construction trend in the Far East, these natives played a role in the wave of assumptions. The role cannot be ignored. If the indigenous rebels or strikes trigger a chain reaction, the Dutch white population will definitely cause difficulties in the industrialization process of the Far East with only more than 12 million whites. This will slow down the Netherlands' ability to catch up with the British economy.

The Netherlands may even fall into a civil war like the United States, and the Netherlands may even engage in civil war in the three major parts of the country, the Far East, and Africa.

If it happened, it would be a joke for the Netherlands to challenge the British Empire. "

Queen Victoria sarcastically said: "But in the current situation, you lost and your plan did not come true, didn't it?"

"In 1867, the Confederate States of America had more than 500,000 members in various areas of Tennessee and the western states. Each branch also formed a black-man militia company. Currently, these people are fighting against the Confederate Three-K- The party is engaged in a secret struggle. At present, the Alliance has used its voice in both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party of the American Commonwealth, and black people, as the emerging main force of the Alliance, have already organized at the grassroots level of the Alliance. Played a role that cannot be ignored.

This is something that the Confederate States of America that we support cannot ignore when facing its powerful neighbor in the north. This is something that the American state governments and federal military cannot compare with. For example, the Confederate States of America followed the example of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in advancing reforms including the federal constitution and democracy. In terms of smooth progress and black (indigenous) suffrage, the most important thing is to effectively curb the activities of the Confederate States or infiltrate the Confederate States. They all achieved unparalleled help in curbing the spread of negative factors and counterattacking the South. "

Queen Victoria therefore said: "The current approach of the Netherlands has actually been implemented in the Commonwealth of America. Your current 'rebellious' behavior against the Dutch aborigines actually helps the Netherlands to further attack the aborigines. You have found an excuse, and it still makes it difficult for the international community to intervene. It can be said to be a stupid move that has cost your wife and troops. Only you can be smart."

Queen Victoria's ruthless criticism made Prince Edward even more nervous.

Disraeli paid even more attention to it. Obviously, the Queen's attitude seemed to be wrong this time, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.

Disraeli took advantage of the situation and said: "The Netherlands has begun to make the greatest progress in people's livelihood in recent years, which is the largest among European countries. For this reason, William IV has even become the ruler who attracts the most attention in the world.

The Aboriginals were also very active in defending the so-called democratic rights that William IV had always advocated. In April 1868, the island province of Madagascar ended martial law and was officially incorporated into the system of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In May, the Provincial Assembly of Madagascar Province was held. At this meeting, there was a motion to undermine the democratic rights of black indigenous people. This motion was a resolution to expel black indigenous MPs. Faced with this act of severely damaging the nation, Turner, the leader of the Dutch Aboriginal Association and the Senator of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, was very indignant at the passage of this resolution by the Parliament and strongly condemned the Christian and conservative forces that initiated this agreement. .

In the end, the leader of the indigenous parliamentarians gathered 124 indigenous representatives from various provinces, cities and towns in the Kingdom of the Netherlands to hold a meeting, held a demonstration and protest, and finally directly sued William IV. In the end, William IV accepted the qualified protest and demanded The Dutch Parliament should review this resolution and correct this wrongful activity.

The action struggle for indigenous rights organized by the indigenous Senator Turner received the support of the Dutch Congress, and most importantly, the statement of William IV. In the end, the Congress decided that the Madagascar Provincial Assembly did not agree to readmit the reinstated black indigenous members. Legal political rights, then the Parliament of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will not admit members from the province of Madagascar into the Parliament of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. "

Disraeli sighed: "William IV has already won the hearts and minds of the black people last year with this. Therefore, if we are ruthless in this regard now, it seems that the effect will be compromised."
