Chapter 445: Proposal for Marriage (Part 1)

Soon, the Dutch parliament also began to hold emergency meetings, and the discussion of this meeting was about their queen's marriage. Now that it has been revealed that Queen Wilhelmina is pregnant out of wedlock, this is simply cheating. So next, everyone has to find a solution, and everyone is discussing whether to marry Wang Guorui. After all, they even have children now, so most of the time it's just the right thing to do. However, in the current laws of Westerners, abortion is not allowed, which also caused them to choose to marry Wang Guorui by mistake. However, this is the queen's marriage after all, and it will definitely not work if a parliament is not convened to resolve it together. In this way, everyone is ready to go back to discuss what to do.

As for Wang Guorui, he was holding hands with Wilhelmina and walking into the Dutch Parliament Building, and then Wang Guorui continued to comfort Wilhelmina, hoping that she could calm down. And many people also feel that Wang Guorui is showing affection, but the queen doesn't care, so what can he say?

Wang Guorui walked into the Capitol, and then members of the first and second houses of the Netherlands also began to prepare for a joint meeting. The Netherlands is a country with a constitutional monarchy, and their parliament is divided into two chambers, one of which is equivalent to the US Senate. It is a representative elected by each province, regardless of the size of the population. The other two houses, similar to the House of Representatives in the United States, are elected according to the proportion of the population. The division of labor between the two houses is also slightly different. Generally speaking, one house is responsible for legislation. The Second House is responsible for deliberating various daily administrative matters. But now, this issue concerning the queen's marriage must be discussed jointly by the two houses, and a joint meeting must be held to discuss it.

And Wang Guorui sat on the seat. Then get ready to be questioned by those Dutch MPs.

"Next, let's discuss the marriage proposal between Wang Guorui, the leader of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and China's Taiwan region. Now, Governor Wang is invited to come up to accept your inquiries and make a speech!" The chairman of the parliament said first.

"Members, hello everyone, I am Wang Guorui, Governor of Taiwan, China. Since I don't speak Dutch, I plan to answer in English. I hope you will forgive me!" Wang Guorui said.

However, the people at the scene did not have much opinion. Because most of the people present can speak English, even if they don’t speak English, it’s easy to find an interpreter, which is naturally no problem.

"About the marriage between Taiwan and the Netherlands, we are actually very complementary. Taiwan is still in the process of development and construction, and needs a large number of industrial products. And various basic technologies of various machinery. And our Taiwan air There is huge wealth, but we cannot have enough industrial products, and our industrial strength is also developing. So we still need to purchase a lot of these materials from foreign countries, so we hope to complement the Netherlands. The Netherlands is now in the international arena Although not as good as Britain, France and Germany, they are all first-class countries with a glorious history. The Netherlands has a relatively complete industrial system and can produce most of the industrial products. What the Netherlands currently lacks is Therefore, many industrial products cannot be expanded, and the employment of workers cannot be effectively improved. Taiwan lacks a large number of industrial products. The Netherlands cannot meet its own productivity, so we have great complementarity. Therefore, I think We can act as a marriage. After the marriage, we become a family, so that both of us can carry out effective cooperation and development, and process strategic cooperation.”

However, some people will definitely be dissatisfied next.

"In this case, why do we want to get married, can you come to us directly to buy?"

Wang Guorui immediately asked: "If we didn't become a family, why would we give so many orders to the Kingdom of the Netherlands? As long as we are willing, there must be many countries that are willing to sell to us. For example, Britain, France and Germany will definitely I am very satisfied with this. The reason why we are willing to give 10 million pounds to the Netherlands must be that we have a closer cooperative relationship, otherwise how could we give you these orders?"

And many people also felt amused by the congressman who raised this question. If Wang Guorui didn't marry their queen, then why did Wang Guorui give this order to the Netherlands cheaply. You must know that an order of 10 million is enough to make countless second-tier European countries eat a lot. With such a big local tyrant, perhaps many European countries are willing to sell a lot of political benefits to Taiwan. Such a large order, if it is given to anyone, it will be a great friendship, so why should such an order be given to the Netherlands, isn't it because Wang Guorui wants to marry their queen? Therefore, this is actually nonsense. If there is no prerequisite for marrying the queen, there is no need for Wang Guorui to give the order of 10 million pounds to the Netherlands.

"Also, the war between Taiwan and our Netherlands has not stopped before, why do you want to marry our Dutch queen? Also, you are the culprit who invaded our Dutch colony, why should you marry our Dutch queen?" Someone immediately questioned.

Wang Guorui immediately said: "This matter is actually very simple. The Netherlands destroyed our Chinese protectorate, so we naturally have to help them restore the country. Is there a problem? Lanfang Republic and several Kalimantan Islands All the republics are all countries established by our Chinese ancestors. We help our protectorate to restore the country. There is no problem with this. Even your Netherlands can do it. Even I am helping the Lanfang Republic to restore the country At that time, I also discovered that you, the Netherlands, ruled in the name of the Lanfang Republic, and these are enough to show that the Lanfang Republic exists. Therefore, you invaded our Chinese protectorate, this must be a violation of our Chinese interests, we What is it to get back your own interests?"

"You are arguing!" Someone immediately shouted angrily.

However, Wang Guorui said righteously: "This time, you Dutch invaded and occupied our Lanfang Republic and other protectorate countries, and we, China, are naturally obliged to help them restore their country, so what you say is unreasonable. Kalimantan has always been a colony of our Chinese, so if you invade our colony, don’t you allow us to take it back? It’s not bad that China doesn’t ask for compensation, and now that we are about to become a family So I won’t ask you for compensation.”

"..."

The Dutch parliamentarians at the scene were also speechless. Wang Guorui was definitely attacking them. Originally, they wanted to question Wang Guorui's invasion of the Dutch colony, but they didn't expect Wang Guorui to be tougher than them. This was obviously a counterattack against them. .

However, those Dutch MPs had nothing to say, because Wang Guorui's toughness came from their great strength. They had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and several fleets, which were much stronger than the fallen Dutch. So even though Wang Guorui faced so many of them alone, he wasn't afraid at all. Wang Guorui was backed by hundreds of thousands of troops, so naturally he would not be afraid of them. And although these Dutch people seem to be many, they don't have any strength to back them up, so Wang Guorui naturally doesn't worry too much.

"Since we are about to become a family, what are your plans for our Dutch soldiers' prisoners of war? When will you release those prisoners of war?" A member of parliament immediately asked.

There are still some MPs who are concerned about those prisoners of war. After all, there are more than 100,000 prisoners of war, and their various relatives and friends are very large numbers, which are related to at least millions of Dutch relatives and friends. These people are also individual voters. If they can facilitate the resolution of this matter, they will inevitably gain a lot of political capital, so some people have begun to care about the issue of prisoners of war.

"As for the prisoners of war, in order to show our sincerity, we can consider releasing 10,000 prisoners of war first. The prisoners of war of 10,000 people will be given priority to officers, and we can give priority to all officers. The rest of the soldiers will not be able to live. Release ~lightnovelpub.net~ And the wedding between me and Her Majesty the Queen of your country has reached a certain stage, then we will release some prisoners of war again, so that the prisoners of war will be released after the wedding. As for the ransom of the prisoners of war this time, Since we are also a family, there is no need for us to ask for it."

Wang Guorui's release of prisoners of war this time was actually tied to the marriage of Wang Guorui and Wilhelmina. If this marriage cannot be confirmed, it is naturally impossible to release all the prisoners of war. As long as the marriage is completed, all prisoners of war will also be released. Anyway, since as long as they get married, everyone will become a family, so there is no problem with this.

When the noble councilors heard this, and heard that Wang Guorui was willing to give priority to the release of officers, they also felt relieved, because those nobles could return to the country first. After all, many of those officers are nobles. If the nobles can be allowed to return home first, then those Dutch nobles will also have a good impression of them.

"However, what about those colonies? The small countries you advocate for your Chinese are all on Kalimantan Island, and our Sulawesi Island and the islands to the west are also our Netherlands. Inherent colonies, and Java Island and Sumatra Island are also colonies of our Dutch, should you withdraw? Since we are all going to be a family, it is not easy for you to occupy our place?" Immediately, some members started continue to ask. (to be continued)
