v3 Chapter 412: The national character of the Netherlands in promotion

Tolbek replied to this: "Your Majesty, I think the historical issue of the ownership of the Netherlands and France in Belgium has been continuously used as a tool to create emotional confrontation in the domestic politics of the two countries, and the relationship with France has always been Could not find a breakthrough.

The Netherlands and France share the dividends brought by the peaceful border. At the same time, the two countries have adhered to the capital economy of mutual openness of industry for many years, so that the industrialization of the two countries is second only to the United Kingdom in Europe.

In my opinion, the triangular cooperation pattern between the Netherlands and France based on the relationship between the two countries cannot be hindered by historical reasons and blame each other, which will only deepen the wounds between the two countries.

We should separate the historical issue of the French Empire’s invasion of the Netherlands from the actual cooperation, and may adopt a dual-track strategy of actively seeking cooperation with the Netherlands while seriously discussing the historical issue.”

Prime Minister Tolbeck finished, and Randy Alton also said: "Your Majesty, I also think the Prime Minister's statement is good.

In recent years, the Netherlands and France have been very wary of the French relationship because of the history of Napoleon I almost destroying the country. On the contrary, Prussia has a great influence on our country, which needs to be contained.

After all, from a practical point of view, everything needs a balance. After the relationship with France has deteriorated to a certain extent, it is time for us to pull back a little. Prussia’s current relationship with our reality has deteriorated. If we are slightly used by the other party, then we may fall into the trap of public opinion and fall into the disadvantage.

At present, the original South of the United States seems to be because of this, only to cause the last pro-British South, under the rhythm of the United Kingdom, to completely oppose the North.

Therefore, it is necessary for us to plan ahead, and to do a good job of the Dutch people's public opinion needs to be more 'reasonable'"

These two are currently the top representatives of the political and business circles in the Netherlands, representing the views of the two circles.

The two clearly prefer to ease the relationship between the French Empire, while the actual relationship with Prussia is to draw a clearer line with Prussia.

After a while, William IV nodded and said: "The situation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is not so simple. It must be admitted, but the Kingdom of the Netherlands is no longer in the era of more than 50 years ago, and now the Netherlands is no longer worried about the whale war. We, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, want to emphasize to them that the Netherlands has the world's fifth largest economic strength after Britain, France, Prussia, and the Olympics. The military and technological strength of the Netherlands can almost match that of Britain and France, at least in the navy for now.

In terms of territory, the development of the Netherlands in Africa and the Far East is no less than that of the United Kingdom, and far above the French Empire.

Therefore, it is time for the Kingdom of the Netherlands to no longer be able to dwarf itself, but to seize international hot spots through 'self-objectification' and play a leading role in leading the international community. diplomacy"

The words of William IV's great-country diplomacy immediately shocked both Thorbeck and Randy Alton, with varying degrees of surprise on their faces.

Great country!

Is the Netherlands a great power?

Your Majesty, this is to affirm that the Netherlands has reached the brink of establishing its status as a great power.

With just one kick, you can step into the big power club?

If you think about it, all the recent events of the Netherlands in the international community are all pushing the Netherlands to stand at the center of international hot news, as His Majesty said.

"At present, the Netherlands is already a country with very high visibility in the world. In the Americas alone, the status of the Netherlands is no longer under the French Empire. If it wasn't for the Netherlands' lack of large-scale operational capabilities in military operations, then the Netherlands would It can even compete directly with Britain for maritime hegemony.

After all, the presence of the British navy in Chile and South Africa is destined to be unmatched by other countries. In South America, the British navy is the single most powerful presence.

If the Netherlands can quickly locate the status of a major power, it can satisfy South America to a certain extent by using foreign aid to fight against the United Kingdom and the United States. The natural advantages of the Netherlands are naturally one of the best, and it is because of this that the French Empire has gained a firm foothold in Paraguay. "

Tolbeck continued: "France and Prussia are very important countries to the Netherlands, so the diplomacy of Prussia and the French Empire should also be adjusted to a certain extent. I think the Netherlands expects too much of the influence of the bilateral relationship between Prussia and the Netherlands. And try not to adopt a policy of surprising Prussia, and as this atmosphere expands, in almost all areas of bilateral Hop-Prussian relations, the Netherlands may have an abnormal phenomenon that looks at Prussia and acts.”

Tolbeck also believes that Prussia has only always emphasized that it has no ill will towards the Netherlands, and it seems that it has adopted a negative attitude towards the international influence of the Netherlands. Instead of exerting the silent wait-and-see attitude that we actually hope to see, it has actively curbed the rise of the Netherlands in the Americas and the United States. Nordic influence, the tendency to check and balance our purpose is very clear.

"Therefore, Your Majesty, the Netherlands used to pay too much attention to the attitude of the Bismarck government and to take care of the core interests of Prussia, but Prussia did not consider the position of the Netherlands. Therefore, I think the Dutch government should carry out a new foreign policy. Not even against the problems of the British Empire, but to improve the perception of the Netherlands in society"

"Second establishes a new coordinate for the Netherlands between the contradictions of competition between major powers such as Britain, France, and Prussia. As the contradictions between countries have surpassed trade competition, the future will be completely transformed into competition in the sphere of influence dominated by the trade teams of major countries. That would put the Netherlands at a crossroads.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands, which relies on neighboring countries to abide by the rules on security issues, seems to have little choice in Europe, but the Dutch government has recently pushed forward the relationship between countries in order to maintain communication between Central and Western Europe. , and even had excessive expectations for the surrounding countries, and to some extent showed a 'low-profile diplomacy' towards the French Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia and the United Kingdom. The effect is minimal, and even the relationship between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and its neighbors has been hurt to a certain extent. So I think the need to rebuild Dutch foreign relations is paramount.”

Watching Tolbek's fragmentation, the foreign policy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has been transformed from Western Europe to a European and even global strategy.

Although Randy Alton is 80 years old, he still feels the excitement inside.

In this context, Tolbeck emphasized that the new diplomatic dimension of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is based on uprightness and solid security, and is to be a central state of requests to strengthen the influence of the Netherlands in the international community.

He also emphasized that the major international organizations established by the Netherlands should be developed into cooperation scope beyond traditional military cooperation and economic development and humanistic development, and rebuild the 'Netherlands + Europe + global partnership including security and economy. The Netherlands, on the other hand, needs to demonstrate a new European relationship based on mutual respect, demanding a 'responsible role' when Dutch interests are threatened."
