Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne - Vol 3 Chapter 463
“Disraeli claims that the Netherlands is trying to undermine the rules-based European and international order”
On January 5, 1869, Nicholas Pearson, the Third Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, presided over a regular press conference of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A reporter asked that on January 4, the British Prime Minister met the visiting Italian Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street. Marko Mingotti said:
“The relationship with the Netherlands is one of the most complex and important of the British Empire’s relationship with all countries, and it is clearly competitive in some respects, but it is fair to compete with it,” the Netherlands is currently trying to undermine Europe’s international order based on the rules of strength, Prime Minister Disraeli said the British Empire does not seek conflict, but strives to ensure a rules-based international order within continental Europe”
What is the reporter’s comment to Nicholas Pearson on this subject?
Nicholas Pearson pointed out, “Prime Minister Disraeli’s remarks, disregarding the facts, confounding right and wrong, are full of the fact that the British Empire, as the most powerful country in the world, is the basis of its strength and wants everyone to use their weaknesses to confront the UK’s strengths. Let all countries speak their strength in front of the United Kingdom. This is a disguised rule of strength that requires countries to bow their heads when facing the United Kingdom. The Netherlands is currently unable to match the United Kingdom. I think it is difficult for countries in the world to confront the United Kingdom alone. The Prime Minister’s statement is full of solipsism and superiority, which the Netherlands firmly rejects.”
It was the first time that Nicholas Pearson hosted a global press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Amsterdam alone. As a star in the Dutch diplomatic circle, his reputation has attracted journalists from various countries in the Netherlands to attend, just to understand the future of Dutch diplomacy. An important figure in the world, now it seems that he is well-founded and extremely sharp, and this is more popular than him for journalists from all over the world. Reporters rely on broadcasting news to gain attention. This is a bonus what.
Therefore, Nicholas Pearson received a warm applause after speaking, and even journalists from the British “Financial Times”, “The Times”, “London Daily” and other newspapers all joined the ranks.
This is the “urine-sex” of journalists
Nicholas Pearson was unmoved in the face of applause, and after calming down, he emphasized, “First of all, the Netherlands has always been a builder of peace in Europe and the world. Defender of the security order in Africa and Europe.”
“The Netherlands has not participated in any war in Europe for more than half a century, nor has it invaded-invaded any country in Europe, nor will it support high-proxy wars on the European continent, and the Netherlands will not use the very famous British Shore balancing to control the European continent is beneficial to the British balance of power.
As for the military blocs and other organizations that countries are currently worried about, the Netherlands is actually building and providing a platform for crisis management together with some international peace-loving countries. Win-win cooperation and build a world where countries can feel safer. ”
“On the contrary, the French Empire is still invading the Kingdom of Siam, and it seems that it will not give up until its goal is achieved. It makes people worry that the casualties of the French Empire and the Kingdom of Siam are increasing, and the world economy is stagnant.”

“At the same time, the current ally of the British Empire under Prime Minister Disraeli, the Confederate States of America, seems to have reached the brink of a civil war. The American Civil War from 1861 to 1867 is still vivid in our minds. Have you ever noticed that since the history of Britain’s allies, It will be the most civil war, why, I think this is worth thinking about.”
As soon as Nicholas Pearson finished speaking, the regular press conference began to buzz. Obviously, the “thinking” thrown by Nicholas Pearson made many people feel the same way. Many allies have internal confusion and even civil wars from time to time.
Nicholas Pearson meant something, and even several newspapers in the UK had to agree that the third deputy minister of the Netherlands had a really powerful mouth.
Nicholas Pearson saw that the effect was good, and he went on to criticize, “Britain won over the French Empire and Prussia, exaggerated its vigilance against the Netherlands, and intended to provoke the European forces to wrestle again for the benefit of the fisherman. This kind of words and methods are not so clever now, more It won’t win people’s hearts, and it won’t succeed.”
Under the leadership of the Dutch media, the scene was out of control for a time. Obviously, many countries have suffered from the losses of the British, so they are fiercely anti-British.
British newspaper reporters had to sigh that the third deputy minister of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs really concentrated the hearts of these people, and Qiu Ying’s emotions were pierced all at once.
After a while, Nicholas Pearson continued to criticize, “Prime Minister Disraeli’s speech claiming that Britain will not deliberately cause conflict is very hypocritical, and it does not conform to the facts. The instigator of the conflict, some time ago in the North American Civil War, in the Balkans between the Ottoman Empire and Tsarist Russia, don’t ask me, I only know what the British diplomatic community boasted after the victory in the Crimean War in 1857.
There are many more. The history of the United Kingdom is a history of continuous creation of conflicts and wars. From the four naval battles with the Netherlands to the victory of the naval battle with Spain, the United Kingdom has established its maritime supremacy since then. Based on the ocean, it has attacked cities and towns on all continents of the world, broken through regions, launched wars recklessly, and killed innocent civilians. Britain is still the same Britain to this day.
Facts have proved that it is not the Netherlands that poses a threat to the British Empire, but the United Kingdom is trying to smear the Netherlands by creating an image of the Netherlands breaking the rules, and then suppressing the Netherlands by the usual means of offshore balancers. It can be seen everywhere, the United States that split not long ago, the United Kingdom of Sweden-Norway that almost split, and Belgium in the United Kingdom of Holland-Luxembourg-Belgium, which was successfully created by the United Kingdom.
Of course, the UK currently occupies Gibraltar in Spain, and there are countless others. So, not the Netherlands, but the United Kingdom is increasingly posing a threat to European and world peace and security.
As for the so-called rules-based international order, in fact, it is just a strength-based domestic law and regulations formulated by a few countries dominated by the United Kingdom, serving the hegemonic private interests of the United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom requires small and medium-sized countries to abide by these rules, but does not agree that the United Kingdom should abide by the regulations. It is in the interest of the United Kingdom to use it, and it is discarded if it does not. Therefore, Prime Minister Disraeli’s criticism of the Netherlands can actually be directly applied to the United Kingdom. , the above is my point of view, thank you!
