Opening 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 499 British Counter-Strategies?

Disraeli believes that Amsterdam’s focus on Spain and the stance of supporting Spanish territory to undermine Anglo-Spanish relations is once again shrinking the Spanish diplomatic circle in disguise after sabotaging Franco-Spanish relations. I don’t think we should be worried about us. , but Spain itself, because this makes Spain’s diplomatic follow-up to the Netherlands more risky, and it is worthy of Madrid’s own vigilance.

Disraeli also said that London would not accept blackmail from other countries. “We have to make it clear that no one can blackmail us,”

He vowed that the British Empire would not only respond to the current attacks on Britain in a united way, and would safeguard Britain’s global interests in a diplomatic way, but would also provide military support to enable it to defend the national territorial security of the United Kingdom, protect the own territory

Disraeli said it was a shared idea across the UK, regardless of whether the Tories or the Whigs were lost.

But in the end, he added that the UK is willing to communicate with the Netherlands in the next time, but only if the Netherlands provides enough sincerity to persuade the UK to do so.

As Disraeli’s exclusive interview was released to the public, many people omitted a large part of the previous part, and finally focused on the last sentence of willingness to communicate with the Netherlands. The UK finally accepted the 10-day appointment of Dutch Prime Minister Tolbeck. already?

……

In this world, public opinion has always been unilateral and one-sided. What the Netherlands can do, in fact, the British Empire also has a lot of resources, especially the British government, which has always liked to control public opinion.

Among them, various pro-British politicians in Spain have begun to speak out one after another. Obviously, the United Kingdom has begun to mobilize its influence in Spain.

“Spanish Herald” exclusively disclosed that the Dutch Speaker of the House of Representatives Huntington may visit Spain in the next few days, although the rumors have not been officially confirmed by the Netherlands and Spain, which has made the situation in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Spain boil.

However, people with a heart have found that the Spanish official is low-key, but it is difficult to hide their inner expectations. However, the official British Empire objected several times with a statement of “strong dissatisfaction”, which shows how seriously Disraeli took this incident.

This is already a stern warning from the UK that the Netherlands and Spain are close to harming the UK’s “interests”. The Netherlands’ approach can be said to be eye-catching. The Prime Minister and the Speaker of the House of Representatives are independent of each other. , which gave the Dutch government an argument to shirk the British accusations against the Dutch government, and at the same time did not damage the official exchanges between the two sides.

Just when Russell, the foreign secretary of the British Empire, made solemn representations to the Netherlands and Spain, and warned that he was dissatisfied with the territorial ambitions of Spain and the territorial ambitions of Spain, he also made a firm response from the United Kingdom. It is possible that the trip to Spain will be put on the brakes, or it may be announced that the visit will be postponed.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The current situation in Spain makes it known that the United Kingdom has taken a shot, so officials on the I side of the Netherlands have begun to worry about it.

Today, in addition to the members of the Privy Council, Huntington, who is now in the limelight these days, was also recruited by William IV.

William IV said:

“Even if Huntington doesn’t set foot on Gibraltar, Spain, it may be replaced by other deputy speakers or other parliamentarians who may visit there.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they showed a sigh of relief.

On February 17, 1869, the Speaker of the House of Representatives Huntington had not yet visited Spain, but Graeme, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Netherlands and the Liberal Chief Member of the Budget Committee, led a delegation to Madrid and talked with relevant personnel of the Spanish Senate. He was warmly welcomed, received by Julian, and met separately with Prime Minister Ramon Narvaez and Foreign Minister Tonis. Correspondence of Foreign Minister Teffon, who was also entrusted by William IV to Insabel II with two handwritten letters.

Therefore, in his line of work, he met the highest level of Spain almost in a row. Finally, he was also invited to give a speech in the Spanish House of Representatives, which became the precedent for the first invited foreign member of the House of Representatives in Spanish history.

This gives a sense of how close the relationship between the Netherlands and Spain is.

However, this also makes many Europeans feel unfathomable about the Netherlands’ approach.

The United Kingdom even mobilized public opinion to carry out various “speculations” that are beneficial to the United Kingdom.

Apparently, the attacks by Spanish pro-British politicians during this period seem to have had no effect.

At the same time, during a meeting with Prime Minister Ramon Narvaez, the deputy speaker of the Netherlands, the two also successfully sold a huge order for Dutch warships of up to 500,000 pounds. The French Empire knew the strength of the alliance between the Netherlands and Spain, and at the same time let them know that Spain was not allowed to be insulted, and if they were to attack Spain, it was time for them to pay a greater price.” The rumours of the Speaker’s visit to Spain are like a smoke bomb, covering the order of this group of Dutch parliamentarians with “united allies” to visit Spain in a flash, for France’s invasion of Siam and the British to test the restless Spain after the outbreak of Spain. , an injection of a “Dutch-Spanish friendly” shot.

However, neither the Netherlands nor Spain has said to cancel Huntington’s visit to Spain. Don’t discuss my travel plans.” His office also issued a “long-term safety agreement, we will not provide confirmation or whether to travel itinerary”, which seems to deliberately make this unstable itinerary more incomprehensible.

In the past few days, the Dutch and British officials have actually communicated quite a few times. In addition, Prime Minister Tolbeck took the lead in blurting out the news that he would communicate with Disraeli in ten days. This reflects that Tolbek and the Netherlands The expectation of the government also shows that the Netherlands is actively arranging for communication between the two people, and obviously hopes to use the opportunity of direct dialogue between the prime ministers to strive for the UK, the most powerful country at present, for results that are beneficial to the Netherlands itself.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives Huntington, who is also in the Dutch liberal camp, threw a shock bomb at this time to visit Western Spain to support the demands of Spanish territory, just as Prime Minister Tolbeck and the two played the black face and the white face, and moved out of the Spanish faction on the British side. This issue of using Spain to leverage Britain’s sovereignty over Gibraltar is intended to give Britain a bargaining chip to back down and raise its political stance. +Bookmark+
