"I, William of Nassau, have Germanic blood.
Loyal to the motherland, stick to this belief until death.
I, Prince of Orange, free and fearless.
The King of Spain, I will always respect.
The God I fear, my Lord, to whom I take refuge.
My dear people, the land, is my driving force.
God guides me like a good tool.
I will definitely come back to my homeland.
My troubled people, my simple people,
Despite the suffering in front of you, God will not abandon you.
Praying sincerely, day or night,
Let the Lord give me strength and I will be able to help you.
My fate and life, explain what I can't predict.
My brother in heaven can attest to this.
Sir Adolf, killed in the Frisian War.
His immortal soul awaits the coming of the final judgment.
Born in a noble and noble royal family,
As a devout Christian, he was named a prince of the empire;
I am well-deserved for the praise of God.
My fearless warrior spirit is a match for royal blood.
The one whom I convert is God, my Lord.
You are what I rely on, and I never want to turn my back on you.
Please give me courage, your eternal servant.
Grant me the power to destroy the Lord Bao that makes me sad.

As the world's earliest national anthem "Ode to William" sounded on New Credonia, 200 Britons, whether indigenous or detained, sang along with 3,500 Dutch soldiers, marking another A South Pacific island falls within the sphere of influence of the national anthem, becoming the land of Dutch rule to which it belongs.
This time, Makassar, the southern port of Sulawesi, where the headquarters of the Dutch Far East Naval Base is located, dispatched 3,500 people. The first-class sail battleship East India (1,000 people, 3,000 tons) led two third-class sail battleships (each 700 men, 1,500 tons) and 1 tier-4 sail battleship (350 men, 1,200 tons), 2 tier-5 sail cruisers (one with 200 men, 600 tons), and 2 tier-6 ordinary warships (each 180 men, 550 tons), a small fleet of 7 warships.
Among them, the fourth-tier battleship Bali served as the flagship.
"Next, we will continue to enter Fiji Island"
"Yes, General Lyndon"
After de Friston sang the national anthem of the Netherlands, he knew that he could not look back, but when he thought of the faces of the upper class who looked down on him, especially the time and again they had been looking for them to invest in his submarine, and he begged to say that in the future. It will make money, and it will make them famous military businessmen, but no one is optimistic about him, especially the prospect of the hype-like submarine he talked about.
Thinking of this, he seems to think that it is not unacceptable to live like this now, so when he thinks about it, the frown on his face suddenly dissipated, and the dark clouds drifted away in an instant.
Theo von Linden has been paying attention to him. Seeing this, he knows that His Majesty has taken down the French submarine expert he is optimistic about. The Dutch Navy has added another senior expert. Although he has not yet produced a convincing work, Linden's absolute trust in His Majesty has made him blindly believe that this De Friston must be someone with great talent.
Just as they were sweeping the islands one by one, Europe was beginning to spread their "legends", and he was now becoming the focus of discussions in various countries.
There are different disputes happening in the world every day. Big wars, small wars or political struggles are constantly going on. Every time it is a dizzying battle of wits and courage. At the same time, he marvels at the ruthlessness of human beings.
Among them, the most concerned now is the many transnational controversial attacks caused by Europe and Belgium. It is well known that Belgium has been regarded as its forehead in Europe by the British Empire since its inauguration. However, is this bridgehead too solid? Except for Leopold I and the pro-British prime minister, other local governments revolved around the relationship between France and the Netherlands and Prussia to correspond to the rule of Leopold I, although the king was not weak.
It is said that the ruthless threat of the Kingdom of the Netherlands involved in making the Belgian government's actions shocked European countries. The Netherlands even dared to oppose the government of Leopold I, knowing that the United Kingdom was behind it?
Where did the courage come from?
Aren't you afraid of being bombarded by British gunboats in Amsterdam and Rotterdam?
You must know that since the end of the last century, the navy of the Netherlands should have dropped from the top 5 in Europe to the 8th in the world, and it is even comparable to the newly emerging American American.
All these years have been living on their own. You must know that before Belgium seceded from the Netherlands, the entire kingdom of the Netherlands almost doubled in size, and its position in Europe was almost the same as that of Spain and Sweden. Both are second-tier top powers in Europe.
Although it still did not enter the top five of Britain, Russia, France, the German Confederation, and the Ottomans.
But it also formed the ranks of Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, Portugal and Italy.
Especially in the past few years, the Dutch economy has developed rapidly. Taking advantage of the resource development effect of the East India, the local development of the Netherlands has been accelerated. The progress of industrialization has been rapid. Some good people even call the Netherlands an all-industrial kingdom in the European continent. The comprehensive coverage is opposite to that of high.
In terms of per capita income, the most prosperous British Empire is not far away.
And these are only superficial. In the field of military and politics, the four naval battles between the Netherlands and the British Empire in the Atlantic Ocean were aimed at competing for maritime hegemony, which attracted the attention of European countries from the very beginning.
The two sides dispatched their naval fleets to fight four battles. In terms of numbers, they were tied two to two. However, the Dutch won the second and third times. The Netherlands won the second and third times, but the first and fourth times were the last British. Man wins.
The third time France and Portugal and Spain helped the Netherlands, but the fourth time France turned to help England with an assist on land.
Other countries, such as Tsarist Russia, Sweden, Austria and Prussia, are watching it all by the side.
These countries also have a lot of debt in Amsterdam just like the UK. It is only because the Dutch financial center has been so successful and made so much money that other countries owe him money, so they are envied and revealed in the UK intentionally or unintentionally. Defeating the Netherlands would require the Netherlands to cancel or cheaply repurchase these bonds, making the Netherlands the object of ridicule.
Perhaps this is the first time in history that there is a country that almost wiped out the country because it borrowed too much money to other countries.
It is precisely because of the tactics secretly used by the British Empire this time, that despite the past 100 years, the Dutch are still full of resentment.
Naturally, the upper echelons of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will not forget this humiliating history. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Therefore, in the last Napoleon I's war, many people in the Netherlands took revenge on the United Kingdom. In Napoleon I, they used the psychology of these Dutch people and quickly conquered the reasons for the Dutch people.
With the beginning of the reign of William I of the Nassau-Orange royal family after 1815, the Netherlands was finally on the verge of independence again.
Britain has work, but not necessarily merit.
Because the United Kingdom did not return the proposal to the Netherlands as a complete country, but instead cultivated Belgian independence in this country.
So the contradiction between Britain and the Netherlands still exists.
And the contradiction between Britain and France is well known.
The German Confederation was a formal alliance between Puo and Austria, but the heart was hollowed out.
Tsarist Russia and Sweden still have the same contradictions. Although Sweden admits that it is occupied by Tsarist Russia, it never recognizes that it is the territory of Tsarist Russia, but it is only occupied by it.
Austria and Tsarist Russia are also in the Crimea dispute over the Black Sea. Because Austria supports Ottoman Turkey, the two countries have evolved from allies to rivals. Although it is still in the process, it has not been able to restore the past. trust.
The rapid rise of Prussia.
Because of Bismarck's alliance, Prussia should be the most popular power.
It seems that the Kingdom of Prussia now gets along well with all countries except Austria because of the leadership of the German Confederation.
Therefore, the situation in Belgium is somewhat confusing.
As the Netherlands dispatched its navy to occupy various islands in the Far East, on January 26, 1862, 'but with a strong statement of condemnation from the British Empire, the truth of this event, which was not understood by all countries, became clearer.
The British statement was written by Foreign Secretary Russell.
