Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 519

"European Times" reporter Haig dialogue with King Willem IV of the Netherlands.

Reporter Haig: "Faced with the French Empire's war in the Far East, the Netherlands led the members of the International Hague Tribunal to launch sanctions against the French Empire. How does the Netherlands view the French Empire at present?"

William IV: "When Napoleon III met with me, he emphasized that the French Empire would not leave Mexico in North America, and would not allow Britain, the Netherlands, or even Brazil to take advantage of it. But Mexican President Benito Juarez When I visited the Netherlands some time ago to meet me, he complained to me that the French Empire had moved from southern Mexico to the Far East, but the territory left behind was given to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. North America, except for the Miquelon Islands in eastern Canada, which symbolized it. There are no French colonies outside.”

reporter:"?"

William IV: "The foreign policy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is to build bridges of communication and deal with other countries. The French Empire was previously an important trading partner, energy partner, and investment and investee market of the Netherlands. Between the Netherlands and the French Empire, it is not mutually exclusive."

Reporter: "What about now?"

William IV: "At present the Dutch and French Empires have almost ceased trade, and investment has almost stopped"

Reporter: "Napoleon III visited Milan some time ago. It was the first time he visited a foreign country after the French Empire launched the Siamese War. What does His Majesty think his purpose was?"

William IV: "This is also the first time France has visited southern Europe since the war began, the purpose of which is of course to break through the diplomatic and economic blockade organized by the International Court of Justice in The Hague"

Reporter: "Why did France choose the Kingdom of Italy?"

William IV: "The Ottoman Empire, Italy, and Spain are the three most powerful countries in the Mediterranean except for France. France is currently at odds with Spain, and the Ottoman Empire has also entered the Russian Empire because of the latter. France does not want to offend the United Kingdom. , so keep a distance from the Ottoman Empire. So that leaves Italy.”

Reporter: "Will the Italian King Inmanuel II achieve the purpose of Napoleon III's visit?"

William IV: "The theme of the two people's public is to discuss the situation in the Mediterranean, but in reality, they get what they need, and they just report to the group to keep warm. More directly, it is to use each other to build a sense of existence."

reporter:"?"

William IV: "The French Empire was sanctioned by the International Court of Justice in The Hague, so its international influence became weaker, and Italy could only be isolated there in the northern part of the Central Mediterranean, and Inmanuel II needed to meet more Rome-Pontifical-Cince. The influence of the Vatican's infiltration affects its own status and government control.

Therefore, the two countries are very passive, and the economy is in trouble. Therefore, the two countries actually cooperate to a certain extent in terms of strategy. The idea of strengthening bilateral communication was also agreed, which is clearly Italy's attempt to dispel the negative notion of France's participation in the sanctions against France within the organization of the International Court of Justice in The Hague"

Reporter: "Will France understand?"

William IV: "Naturally Napoleon III will not but the international situation will make him choose to suppress and pretend to understand"

Reporter: "It means that France and Italy can continue to cooperate?"

William IV: "Inmanuel II was the first king of a member state of the Hague International Court of Justice to meet with Napoleon III after the war. Although Italy followed the Hague National Court to organize other countries to impose sanctions on France, it was limited to military affairs. There are no economic sanctions, and there are no restrictions on the movement of people between the two countries.”

Reporter: "Italy put water on sanctions?"

William IV: "In fact, the organization does not impose sanctions on member states, so the sanctions are carried out according to their own needs, such as Portugal, which is only a fish for the fishermen of the French Empire. Sanctions on products, huh, the purpose is actually to prevent French fish products from competing with local products in this name.”

Reporter: "What about the Netherlands?"

William IV: "The Netherlands also put water on some products. Among them, the Dutch coal mining companies are actually importing French coal to France, but we have suppressed industrial products."

Reporter: "So in Italy, everyone turns a blind eye?"

William IV: "It's basically what I said. While Italy did not follow the massive sanctions of the Netherlands, in fact, Italy played a 'spoiler' role when the Netherlands had a colonial war with Portugal in Africa. In return, Napoleon III should have given Italy a 'big gift' when he negotiated the arms negotiation with Ion Manuel II and the agreement to allow Italy to import French warships."

Reporter: "Will the relationship between France and Italy be so 'good' that it will affect the follow-up of other countries?"

William IV: "Of course some people will be moved. I guess that it is precisely because of this point that Napoleon III will use Italy as the coordinator to coordinate the relationship between France and other countries when he eases the organization of the International Hague Tribunal for a period of time. relations, in disguise to enhance the international image of Inmanuel II and Italy."

Reporter: "Will Italy take over?"

William IV: "This is not a question of whether or not to accept the move, but Napoleon III uncharacteristically. When the two met in Milan, Napoleon III actually arrived at the scene to 'wait' three minutes in advance, giving Yin Manuel II enough face "

Reporter: "The purpose of Napoleon III is to break the sanctions driven by the Netherlands?"

William IV: "Napoleon III used Italy to contain the International Court of Justice in The Hague, headed by the Netherlands, and it was also a statement to other great powers."

Reporter: "What can Italy gain by doing this?"

William IV: "Italy is fighting the French Empire to make bids from Holland and other countries."

Reporter: "That's all?"

William IV: "Italy's current situation in Africa is not very good, especially in the Ethiopian colonial war in the past few years, when it was defeated by the local indigenous king, making Inmanuel II discredited in the European royal family, So perhaps Inmanuel II demanded that the French Empire make concessions to Italy in the French colony of Algeria in the western part of the Italian colony, Libya, on the grounds that the Italian colonial territories in Africa were threatened."

Reporter: "Napoleon III willing?"

William IV: "Who knows, maybe willing or maybe?"

Reporter: "Okay, some time ago, the Tsarist Russia, AustriHungary, and Ottoman Empires held a tripartite summit in Constantinople of the Ottoman Empire. What do you think about this, Your Majesty?"

William IV: "The theme of the summit between Tsarist Russia, Ottoman, and AustriHungary seems to be to jointly resolve disputes, and then drive Britain and France out of the Middle East and the Balkans. Only this time AustriHungary is a supporting role, and the Ottoman Empire and Tsarist Russia are the only ones. the protagonist."

Reporter: "Is this an extraterritorial country that represents the alliance of the three countries against Britain and France?"

William IV: "It won't, at least I think so. The influence of Britain and France has weakened, and the strategic autonomy and voice of regional powers have increased. It does not mean that the situation in the Balkans and the Middle East is more secure. Because these three countries are all It's not a fuel-efficient lamp, each has its own ambition, and no one obeys the other?"

Reporter: "Then your Majesty thinks how the Netherlands should behave?"

William IV: The impact of the global food and security crisis on regional stability in various places should not be underestimated. Although many countries have the confidence to safeguard their own interests from invasion by other countries, the chances of a few hot powder keg detonating are still there. very high.

The north and south sides in North America seem to be calm at present, but the situation is actually very strange. According to our information, the south seems to be entering a period of turmoil, and the north may make some moves. Whether this will lead to the intervention of Britain and others is still unknown. Moreover, with the intervention of the United Kingdom, the dissatisfaction of the North may be vented, and a cycle of reincarnation will make the United Kingdom and the United States fight again, which is very difficult to figure out.”

Reporter: "What are the other hot spots that your Majesty thinks?"

William IV: "On the Balkans, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Tsarist Russia, the Ottoman Empire, and the Greek Kingdom have garrisoned troops. The Tsarist Russia also launched wars and attacks from time to time. The weapons of the empire have been improved, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire has recovered its vitality after being defeated by Prussia. Although the three countries of Tsarist Russia, AustriHungary and the Ottomans are now all inclined to cooperate to ease relations, all countries are not reassuring masters, so it can happen at any time. War is very possible, after all, when diplomacy and negotiation are insufficient, the use of force must be an option.”

reporter:"?"

William IV: "Spain and France are also currently in conflict, and the two nations seem to be in conflict. Although there seems to be no risk of war at present, it is mainly due to the previous border peace between the two countries, but this historical peace border mechanism still remains. The unavoidable fragility of the edge."

Reporter: "Your Majesty thinks that Spain and France are back in a huge conflict?"

William IV: "I think anything can happen, of course, I just think"

Reporter Haig: "Under the reshaping of the geopolitical landscape of major powers in the northern region, a successful Dutch diplomacy must actively respond to the country's national love in the region to develop economic and political demands. In this regard, it seems that Britain and France are not capable of doing so.

In recent years, the Netherlands has proposed to look to the south, and has strengthened its concerns in the Mediterranean Sea and Africa. In the Far East, it is a place that His Majesty has repeatedly declared to be valued~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although this will cause dissatisfaction and worry in some Mediterranean countries , but most just think of the need for the Netherlands to pursue a pluralistic and balanced diplomacy. Many people think that the Netherlands needs to maintain a clear mind and strategic determination, and not have too many illusions about it. It needs to be cautious and fearful when entering Africa and the Far East, and avoid falling into the trap of Britain and France and other powerful countries. What does your Majesty think? "

William IV: "I think the Netherlands is currently focusing on the Far East and Africa, but we are also paying attention to any details of the geopolitical changes on the European side of the homeland. Homeland is the foundation of the Netherlands, and we will not give up native."

Reporter: "But many Dutch people began to think that they should focus on the Far East, where the vast territory is the dream of the future of the Netherlands. They even call it the land of the Dutch dream."

William IV: "Hehe, this is thorny, but they think so, I can't refute it?"

Reporter "Why?"

William IV: "Because the Netherlands may in the near future, according to public opinion, choose to send the capital of the Netherlands to the Far East"

Reporter: "My God, is Your Majesty serious?"

William IV: 'I think I'll support it if the time comes for public opinion'

Reporter: "Where is the new capital?"

William IV: "It should be in Melbourne, of course, it also needs public opinion to decide"

Reporter Haig: "Okay, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to allow me to conduct an exclusive interview. The European Times and I wish Your Majesty the best and the best."

William IV: "Thank you"

(Note: William IV heard that everyone said that it needs to be fast-paced, and he also agreed with it very much. In this case, it will speed up later. I hope everyone will continue to support)
