Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

"In the face of Britain and Prussia staying on the sidelines and watching the show, the always pro-Dutch Commonwealth of America is divided internally, resulting in the loss of a strong ally among the Dutch allies. At this time, can the Netherlands still make a comeback?"

This sentence filled all newspapers around the world and became the most concerned matter for many social elites.

Even within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, many people have raised this question.

On the mainland of Dutch Australia, in the lecture hall of Class 01, a senior at the University of Sydney, Bit, a 35-year-old political teacher, was giving a political lecture on the stage.

After he finished explaining the textbook content, it was time for questions.

Usually, the questions he asked face to face at this time were basically the political situation of European countries, or how the cabinet government would govern when facing people of all ethnic groups in the Netherlands.

He also found that the students were most interested in the three major international organizations led by the Netherlands: the International Tribunal in The Hague, the International Society of the Red Cross, and the International Federation of Women's Associations. Especially the latter, almost all female students wanted to enter. middle.

I don’t know, what are the questions today?

Someone raised their hand!

Teacher Bit looked at it with a somewhat ugly look on his face.

"It's him again"

The third one from the left in the second row is named Abraham Kuyper. He has the most problems in every political class.

No teacher doesn't like students who ask a lot of questions, but if the student asks so many questions that the teacher can hardly answer them, then in the teacher's eyes, this is a provocation.

That's right, in Teacher Bit's opinion, Abraham Kay was trying to lose his face and make him unable to stand down in front of the whole class.

Despite this, he had to "fight" because the University of Sydney is currently the most famous university in Australia and the Netherlands East Indies. The school regulations stipulate that when students ask questions in class, the course teachers must answer them in a friendly manner. He hates this, but for this good salary, he originally immigrated all the way from Amsterdam, Netherlands. In the past five years, his family has immigrated to Sydney. For the sake of his family and this job, he had to choose to "fight" against his will. .

With a forced gentleman's smile on his face, Bit said: "Classmate Abraham Kaiper, it's you again as expected. The teacher is very pleased to have a student like you."

Teacher Bit showed admiration on his face, looked around and praised: "Everyone needs to learn from Abraham Kaibo. Asking questions can improve everyone's memory of the content, and it can also exercise your courage. Of course, teacher We can also review the past and learn new things, and we are all mutually beneficial.”

After Teacher Bit talked nonsense as usual, when he saw many students showing admiration towards him, he stopped and asked Abraham Kaiper: "I don't know, what do you want to ask?"

After saying that, she looked at him with some fear.

Abraham Kuiper was wearing the costume of a noble family of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Although it was only a declining aristocratic family, no one could deny that he knew that this little guy’s grandfather was the great-grandfather of the current King William IV of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Created a viscount by William I, although later falling from favor, his father is now only a baronet.

But on the Australian continent, it is currently the only aristocratic family with the title of Dutch Baron to immigrate.

This is why Teacher Bit must maintain a graceful face.

Because he knew that even Andrea, the president of the University of Sydney, was very afraid of their family.

As for why Principal Andre was so scrupulous about this shabby Viscount, he didn't understand it.

Abraham Kaiper raised his head and looked at Teacher Bit. Although he did not agree that the other party's morality was in line with his views, he had to admit that Teacher Bit was very good, at least not as good as Leiden University and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. , Rector of the University of Groningen Choate, and the tutors at Utrecht University are poor.

"Teacher, the international situation has been stormy and ever-changing recently. We, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, have been involved in it many times. When it comes to sanctions against the French Empire, the Netherlands occupies a leading position. In the past, the actions of the Netherlands were supported by all countries, but now Britain and Prussia kicked the Netherlands and then stood aside and became spectators. They wanted to watch the Netherlands and France fight and profit from it. I wonder, teacher, what do you think about the actions of the Kingdom of the Netherlands against the French Empire? Did it go too deep?"

Bit took a deep breath and had to sigh. This is a topic currently being discussed in the international community. Sydney, as the most international city in Australia, has only been built on the basis of the old British city in just 5 years. The Netherlands soon immigrated to Sydney in large numbers, and its population now exceeds 500,000.

If it is in the mainland, it is second only to Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

The commerce here is extremely developed. Commodities from the American Commonwealth of America, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and other countries are gathered here. Each country has established consulates here to assist business development, so it is always paying attention to the global All dynamics.

This has resulted in people here being very aware of the international ups and downs.

The problem of Abraham Kuiper is actually not new. It is a problem that many Dutch people, including Sydney, are currently pondering in their hearts. After all, if the Kingdom of the Netherlands encounters setbacks internationally, it will not be a problem for here. It has a huge impact like Europe itself, but it is also of great concern.

Patriotism is everyone’s responsibility!

As a politics teacher, Bit has naturally begun to seek answers. He is not preparing lessons entirely to deal with the students' questions in front of him, but for the academic exchange meeting to be held in the near future by universities in the Far East of the Netherlands.

He was just informed a few days ago that he was recognized by President Andre and will represent the University of Sydney in the "Australian Far East Political Think Tank Selection" held in Melbourne. If recognized, he will be admitted by the Australia Institute, a world-renowned think tank. Krim, the director and chief researcher, has the opportunity to interview. If the interview is successful, he will be able to join this think tank that is emerging in the world.

At that time, his status will no longer be the small university lecturer in front of him, but he will be able to use the influence of this institution to give guidance and express his own unique opinions on the situation in various countries around the world. Only then will he The real "political arena".

Therefore, he has been working hard to prepare during this period, and he is fully prepared for various themes. When the time comes in Melbourne, he will be ready to make a blockbuster appearance.

Teacher Bit felt particularly relaxed when he thought of this, so he prepared to use the answers he had prepared to answer his "naughty" student.
