Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Vol 6 Chapter 23: Government in exile

On the Dutch battlefield, the power of the German Blitz has shocked the world.

On September 13, 1939, the sky had just begun to light, and hundreds of German bombers raided military camps and airports in the Netherlands.

The Dutch were not surprised by the sudden attack from the sky. As early as after the failure of the German-Dutch negotiations, they knew that war was about to erupt.

It is a pity that the Dutch government still has illusions about the British and expects the British to intervene in the actions of the Germans without the first national mobilization.

Until the general war of the Germans came, the Dutch knew they were being played by John Niu.

Because earlier, the British proposed to let the Kingdom of the Netherlands pass to the Germans, which was rejected by the Dutch government.

Then, under the mediation of the British, the Dutch government and the Germans signed the "Free Trade Agreement between the Two Countries."

The British were witnesses to the treaty, and it was the British pledge that made the Dutch government wary of the Germans.

Before the outbreak of the war, the Kingdom of the Netherlands also exported a large amount of food, rubber, and other strategic materials to the Germans at nearly cost.

There is no doubt that they moved a stone and hit their own feet.

The sudden outbreak of the war has caught the Dutch government off guard, and without even having to find a backing for themselves, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has fallen.

It took less than a week from the outbreak of the war to the end.

The only battle of a small scale was the Battle of Rotterdam. This was the Dutch's last counterattack. The protagonist of the war was the Marines.

Unfortunately, it had no effect, and the Battle of Rotterdam only delayed the Germans for a day. There was no accident that the Kingdom of the Netherlands fell.

After the defeat in the Netherlands, Queen Wilhelmina flew to France and then to Bulgaria to organize an exile government.

In this regard, the Germans still did not do everything, otherwise, at the time when the Germans already had air control, it was not so easy to run.

This is also a European practice. The king's capture is very valuable. If it is killed, it is not worth it, but a big trouble.

The Dutch are finished, and Belgium next door naturally doesn't want to be alone, it naturally becomes the next goal of the German army.

neutral?

Do not joke!

War can be avoided if it is neutral. Where is war in this world?

The Belgian military strength is not weak. In this era, compared with Switzerland, they are a little stronger. Their geographical location determines their tragedy.

How can you attack France without hitting them first?

Facts have proven that the Germans cannot break through from the front. In order to win this war, the Germans attacked the Netherlands, and naturally they did not care about one more Belgium.

On September 17, 1939, the German government declared war on Belgium and Luxembourg at the same time, and the scale of the World War continued to expand.

"Don't cry, Ferdinand, you look like you are dead ..."

Ferdinand's words stopped abruptly, how could he curse himself? Isn't this the brain getting into the water? Is it because your intelligence has dropped?

"Father don't say me, you didn't go well back then?" Ferdinand Little complained.

Ferdinand's face sank. Is this to reveal his dark history again?

"Ferdinand Little, are you sure what you said just passed your brain?" Ferdinand asked with a sneer

"Oh, sorry father, I've been too busy lately. What did I say just now?"

Ferdinand Jr. decisively acknowledged that he didn't want to find himself uncomfortable, and now his troubles were big enough.

At first, he thought it wasn't just acting, that was absolutely fine! In less than a week, he was about to collapse.

Every day, the crying mother-in-law is met in accordance with diplomatic rituals. At the beginning, several ministers of the cabinet were still with us. These people disappeared in less than three days.

Obviously everyone was hiding under the pretext of busy with official duties, leaving him alone as an emperor.

Ministers may not give face to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, that is Bulgaria does not need to give face to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

His son-in-law would not be able to do it, and even the mother-in-law of Guangzhang, and together with his queen, he was destroying his nerves, making him seem like a sinner with unforgettable sins.

Some reporters watched this. This is a formal diplomatic meeting. The play must be performed. Even if it has no effect, there should be no fewer procedures.

"This is just the beginning, you can't stand it. Don't forget that I was destroyed by your mother for several years. Didn't you come over the same way?" Ferdinand said gloatably.

"Not close, can that be the same? Mother just cares about your safety, isn't she letting you go to the muddy waters of the Russian civil war!

What's more, it wasn't for several years, but it took no more than a week to return to normal.

Now I ’m going to accompany them to perform. Of course, they are really sad. Cry and cry, but I do n’t feel it. In order to squeeze tears, I use pepper! Ferdinand Little complained

"It doesn't matter, you can choose to get sick, and then let your son receive them, rest assured that your son is still a minor. His attitude does not represent the attitude of Bulgaria, and the show will end!" I want to say

"Is there any other way? It feels like I'm sick of them by doing this, the impact is very bad!" Ferdinand Little said with a frown.

"Come less of this, don't you know what your kid is thinking? Are you worried that you will be complained by your wife before you let me come up with this idea for you?

Rest assured, they are more tiring than you in such a show, even if they are sad, they do n’t feel bad doing this show every day. Ferdinand said disdainfully

"But father, I see Juliana crying very sad. She is in a very bad mood, and she is pregnant with a child. I'm afraid she can't stand the stimulus!" Said Ferdinand with a headache

"Is this a problem? You can promise them in private and soothe their mood! As long as it is not promised to the Dutch government, it doesn't matter!" Ferdinand said with a smile.

Ferdinand Little nodded, wasn't that shameless? When will a politician look? This is their required course. Any successful emperor is a shameless emperor!

It doesn't matter as long as it is not a commitment to the Dutch government. Even if his promise spreads, it can be said that he is coaxing his wife and does not need to bear diplomatic responsibility.

In this regard, Europe is still very tolerant. The emperor can also have a personal position, but he can't say it publicly when it goes against the national interest.

"Well, then I will be sick with them, let the Dutch government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs slowly pull the skin!" Ferdinand Little said with a sigh of relief.

"You think too much, whether the people of the Dutch government can enter the door of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a question. Do not underestimate the bureaucracy of the bureaucracy!" Ferdinand said calmly.

Don't look at diplomats who are usually polite, think they are really good at talking, and weak countries without diplomacy are not jokes.

The current Dutch government in exile has nothing, not even an army, and the colonial government's failure to heed their orders is unknown.

Otherwise, the French will retain them. Where do they need to go to Bulgaria?

"My father, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, has come to this day, but the Dutch government is responsible for most of it. Their foreign policy of three or four times determines the current tragedy!

It's better to let them feel a little wronged, lest they don't know the heights and heights, and don't know how to use their brains to do things! Ferdinand Little said with a sneer

After the end of the First World War, the Dutch government turned to Britain and France in diplomacy. After the conflict between Britain and France broke out in 1926, the Dutch government swayed among them.

Later, after the marriage of the two royal families, the Dutch government added another swing object, but Bulgaria has little interest in the European continent, so the civil relations between the two sides are good, and the government relationship is indeed lukewarm.

With the outbreak of the colonial rebellion in Southeast Asia, after the Kingdom of the Netherlands was killed by tens of thousands of soldiers by Churchill, anti-British sentiment in the country rose, and the Dutch government fell to the French.

The next two alliances were established. The Dutch government found that France was isolated. They sensed the danger. In order to avoid being caught in the pond, they chose to be neutral.

After choosing neutrality, the British gave Huyou again, and the Germans frowned.

However, after weighing the advantages and disadvantages, they did not immediately join the Western European Union, but left outside. Especially after the outbreak of the war, they saw that the French singled out morality and prevailed.

However, the Germans were not so good at talking. In order to win the war, they simply shamelessly, tore up the agreement between the two sides, and launched a war against the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

It can be said that the Dutch government's foreign policy after World War I was to dance on wire ropes.

You should know that when the Eastern European Union was established, Ferdinand Jr. also sent invitations to them. After all, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is the world's major supplier of natural rubber and still has some value.

However, because their asking price was too high and the price they were willing to pay was too small, the two sides quickly collapsed.

Before the outbreak of the war, the French also invited them, and the French government planned to establish an anti-German defense line in the Netherlands to improve the overall defense line.

In order not to be affected by the war, the Dutch government rejected it decisively. Finally, when the war came, they realized that they had no friends.

Like the Kingdom of the Netherlands, there is also Belgium. The Belgian government is also a snake and rat. It is now being held on the ground by Germany. If it were not for the Frenchman's last shot, Belgium would be dead.

Even if it is not finished, in fact they are worse than the Dutch. Germany and France are fighting in Belgium, and it is not so easy to separate the winner and the loser for a while.

The Germans are weaker than in history, and the French are stronger than in history. With one increase and one decrease, the war is no longer one-sided.

"Her Majesty, the high-level officials of the Bulgarian government are willing to see us, do you think?" Prime Minister Keris said in distress.

Queen Wilhelmina frowned and said, "No! In the face of national interests, any personal relationship must be backed up. Now we have become unpopular.

If we go to beg again, I'm afraid we won't even have the current treatment.

It is imperative that we still have to set up a National Salvation Army as soon as possible, otherwise what shall I negotiate with others? "

"But the queen, we lack everything right now, there is no way to form an army, or you give the colonial government an order for them to form an army?" Kerris proposed

Queen William Minna said dissatisfied: "This is not a good suggestion. My Prime Minister, Japan is jealous of Nanyang. We cannot draw any troops from there.

Besides, do we raise them in Europe? If you put it on the battlefield, it won't be a week, it's over! "

Kerris frowned, and it was you who made the army, and it was you who did not, and what kind of trick did you want to play?

Unfortunately, Queen Wilhelmina was looking for the fault. She was already dissatisfied with the Prime Minister. Unfortunately, even if she was dissatisfied with the system of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, she could not do anything.

However, there are exceptions. For example, until now, there is no Prime Minister supported by parliament, so nothing.

When she arrived in Bulgaria, her queen was the recognized leader of the country. If she wanted to, she could let the prime minister go.

As the person directly responsible for the fall of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, she wanted to fire the Prime Minister at this time, but no parliament stood up to make trouble, and no one could say anything even in the future.

Shouldn't the Prime Minister be out of business? The current situation, as a government leader, is not waste, it is also waste.

"Her Majesty, now that the government has no money and has lost its income, what can we do if we do not rely on the colonies?" Kerris asked rhetorically.

"That's your problem-Prime Minister, you originally stored the treasury's gold in London, but you pushed it, shouldn't you be responsible for it now?" Queen Williammina sneered

Kerris sees it, it's getting him off. And not only is he going to fire his prime minister, but he is also responsible for the situation.

This is politics, and the mainland is completely occupied. How can it be that no one comes out to take responsibility for such a big thing?

Are there other options besides the government cabinet?

The members of the cabinet will be collectively finished. His prime minister is undoubtedly the culprit. In the future, I don't know how many **** bowls are on his head!

Knowing and knowing, Kerris was unable to refute. There were too many black spots. He originally wanted to use Bulgaria's power to regain the homeland as soon as possible, and then erase these black history.

However, the queen made it clear that he would not be given this opportunity ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ I was so determined that he would be ruined.

No, now he has lost his reputation. It can be seen from the Dutch's attitude in Bulgaria that when they donated money to the fundraising conference, they did not say that they were sprayed with blood.

"Then the queen chooses another talent, I don't have this ability!" Kerris said with a pale face.

"Well, since you can't afford this responsibility, then I'll change to a prime minister. I suppose you don't have any opinion?" Queen Williammina sarcastically said.

There is no way. Now that Germany has invaded the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the British have German allies. If a pro-British cabinet is left, how can you show your attitude to Bulgaria?

The reality is that this government has been decided. It must be pro-insurance, or you want to get the support of the Bulgarian government.

Kerris is a fan of the authorities, otherwise he would have thought of this long before changing his political stance as quickly as possible, let alone keeping in touch with the British.
