Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Melbourne, Australia.

Socialist Party Headquarters.

"The Liberal Party was founded on March 1, 1848. It now has 230,000 members. The Liberal Party represents the interests of capital business owners in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The current leader of the party is Gerrit de Vries.

On March 25, 1848, when the Netherlands implemented a constitutional monarchy, the first prime minister was Gerrit Simopanick, the founder of the party. The two came from the same family. The leader of the party is Jan von Capell, who continues to serve as the Minister of Finance in the Dutch Cabinet. "

Mari Philippe, who was born in 1810, once held the title of King of Corruptors in Belgium, but no one can deny that he also had the title of Kingmaker.

He used to be a kingmaker in Belgian politics. In 1852, he successfully promoted a senator, Henri de Bruquel, to the position of prime minister of Belgium using dirty trading methods.

In 1862, the same trick was repeated again, and Limburg Senator Jules Danetang, a disciple of Bill Charlie, the director of the Royal Dutch Intelligence Service, was successfully promoted to the throne and became the youngest prime minister in the history of Belgium in 1862.

After Jules Danetant won the hearts of the Dutch in just a few years, with the support of this powerful Belgian Prime Minister, he was successfully elected as the President of the Belgian Senate in 1865.

After the provinces of East Flanders, West Flanders, Antwerp, Flemish Brabant, and South Limburg in northern Belgium returned to Dutch rule in February 1869, together with 1.6 million Dutch people, on January 1, 1870 The Dutch Socialist Party was founded.

And Mari Philip, the former President of the Belgian Senate, returned to the Netherlands and became the Socialist Senate Minority Whip.

At the same time, he is the third-ranking figure in the party after the Socialist Party leader Jules Danetang and the party leader Joseph Beit.

Mari Philippe always maintains a playful and irreverent look, but he is also a very gentleman. No one who knows his background will never think of the dirty spots in his past life.

"I have calculated that since the implementation of the constitutional monarchy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1848, a total of 14 prime ministers have been produced with varying terms. Among them, the liberals have served for 11 terms, the Christian party has served for 2 terms, and the independent Jane Jacobs has served for 2 terms. Rocusson served for one term, but now he also belongs to the Liberal Party and has become the Governor-General of South Australia."

"That is to say, the Liberal Party has occupied 12 of the 14 terms of Prime Minister. Faced with such a strong Liberal Party, I don't believe that the Christian Party will be willing to continue to let the Liberal Party grow."

"You want to win over the Christian parties and then join forces to form a cabinet government."

Joseph Baite was born in 1825. He was a Dutch undercover agent in Belgium. He studied under the former Prime Minister Tolbeck at the time. He was elected as a senator in Brussels in 1856. In 1862, he originally ran for the Prime Minister of Belgium and competed with Jules Danetant in the decisive battle within the party. After the failure, he turned to support Jules Danetant, in exchange for the latter's support for him to run for the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Belgium, and was successfully elected. This man has an upright character, like Biden in later generations, and he is as wise as he is foolish. Currently serving as leader of the Socialist Party-xi.

I saw Joseph Beit frowning and saying worriedly: "At present, it seems that although the Christian Party will not reject us, if we take the initiative, we may lose the initiative."

"Your Excellency Joseph is right. The current leader of the Christian Party, Theo von Linden, is very difficult to deal with. He was once the Vice Minister of the Navy, but was later personally designated by His Majesty William IV as the Governor of New Guinea Province. Currently, the Christian Party Using the East India Company base in the province to manufacture weapons, and using New South Wales, where Sydney is located, as the engine of economic development, it has successfully shaped the new look of the Christian Party, so I am worried that Theo von Linden will not give us Too many concessions.”

The speaker was Joseph Beit's staunch ally in Belgium and also Joseph Beit's campaign assistant. He was previously promoted by Joseph Beit to become the majority whip of the Belgian House of Representatives, but now he has become the Socialist Party in the House of Representatives after returning to the Netherlands. of the minority whip.

His status is only slightly higher than that of Marie Philippe, and he ranks fourth within the Socialist Party.

This person is often the echo man of Joseph Beit.

When Mari Philip faced the two people’s doubts, he did smile without changing his face.

However, he did not answer directly. Instead, he continued to introduce the other two parties in the Netherlands (including the Socialist Party itself) that they were very familiar with: "The Christian Party has three historically-Protestant, Catholic, Christian Historical Alliance and anti-revolutionary forces. The force was formed in 1855. The purpose of the party is to oppose over-emphasis on the role of the government and the market. The sphere of influence is mainly in rural areas, representing the interests of farmers and advocating the maintenance of European, especially Dutch traditional values ​​and morals. It now has 170,000 party members , has defeated the Liberal Party three times to win the Dutch election and formed a cabinet three times. The last time the Christian Party formed a cabinet was from 1856 to 1858, 20 years ago.

The party currently ranks as the second largest party in the Netherlands. Among the 77 senators in the Senate, the Christian Party has 20 senators and 220 representatives in the House of Representatives. The Christian Party only has 75 representatives because the population is not dense.

On the contrary, the Liberal Party currently has 40 senators, and the Liberal Party's areas are densely populated, so it has 110 House of Representatives seats.

The leader of the party is Theo von Linden, and the party leader is Pat Ohm.

As for our Socialist Party, it was founded on January 1, 1870. It currently has 120,000 members, 13 senators (the remaining 4 are non-party members), 30 members of the House of Representatives, and 5 non-party members.

Our Socialist Party is now truly the third largest party in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. If you look at these data, I think not only we will be moved by it, but the Christian Party will also be moved by it, I guarantee it.

If we can successfully form a cabinet with the Christian Party, we advocate maintaining a balance between economic development and social justice and equity, reasonably distributing power, income and intellectual wealth, emphasizing that everyone has good jobs, income, welfare, education and health rights, etc. Waiting for a series of positions between the Liberal Party and the Christian Party to win over voters on both sides. At the same time, we have close relations with major trade unions. At the same time, most of the union members are members of the Socialist Party. Therefore, as long as our influence expands, sooner or later we will be in power by ourselves. What is needed now is This is our first opportunity to govern since the founding of the party. "

After saying this, Mari Philippe said to the party leader Jules Danetang and the party chairman Joseph Beit: "As long as we can be in power once, even if it is only a semi-ruling state, then we will follow it two or three times in the future." Countless times, I believe the Liberal Party will be suppressed by us sooner or later."

"Hahaha, well said." Jules Danetang first praised him, and then he said to Joseph Beit: "Just do what Mari Philippe said, because this is what we need to go through to move forward. It’s a small obstacle, once we get over it, we’ll be on smooth ground afterwards, well, just like before in Belgium.”
