On the battlefield of the Netherlands, the power of the German blitzkrieg shocked the world.

On September 13, 1939, as the sky began to lighten, hundreds of German bombers raided Dutch barracks and airfields.

The Dutch were not surprised by the sudden attack from the sky, and they knew that war was about to break out long after the failure of the German-Dutch negotiations.

Unfortunately, the Dutch government still had illusions about the British, expecting Britain to intervene in the actions of the Germans, and did not immediately carry out a national mobilization.

It wasn't until the Germans' ultimatum came that the Dutch knew they had been tricked by John Bull.

Because, earlier the British proposed to let the Kingdom of the Netherlands lend to the Germans, but the Dutch government refused.

Then, with the mediation of the British, the Dutch government and the Germans signed a "Free Trade Agreement between the two countries", under which the Dutch government exported goods to Germany at low prices in exchange for the Germans' security assurances against them.

The British were the witnesses of the treaty, and it was the British assurances that made the Dutch government let down its guard against the Germans.

Before the outbreak of the war, the Kingdom of the Netherlands also exported a large amount of grain, rubber, and a series of strategic materials to the Germans at almost cost prices.

There is no doubt that they moved a stone and hit themselves in the foot.

The sudden outbreak of war caught the Dutch government off guard, and before it could even find another backer for itself, the Kingdom of the Netherlands fell.

From the beginning of the war to its end, it took less than a week to end.

The only battle of a modest scale was the Battle of Rotterdam, the last counterattack of the Dutch, and the Marines were the protagonists of the war.

Unfortunately, the Battle of Rotterdam only delayed the German army for a day, and there was no surprise that the Kingdom of Holland fell.

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

In this regard, the Germans still did not do everything perfectly, otherwise it would not be so easy to escape when the Germans had already mastered air supremacy at that time.

This is also a European practice, the king is very valuable to catch alive, if he is killed, it is not value, but a big trouble.

The Dutch were finished, and Belgium next door naturally did not want to be left alone, and naturally became the next target of the German army.

Neutrality?

No kidding!

If neutrality can avoid war, where is war in this world?

The Belgians were not weak militarily, and in this era they were a little stronger than Switzerland, and their tragedy could be determined by geographical location.

How can you attack France without hitting them first?

It has been proven that the Germans could not break through from the front, and in order to win the war, the Germans attacked the Netherlands, naturally not caring 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.

Sofia

"Little Ferdinand, don't cry with a sad face, your expression is like a dead ......"

Ferdinand's words came to an abrupt end, how could he curse himself? Isn't this a brain with water, is it because my intelligence has declined?

"Father, don't talk about me, you weren't much better back then?" Ferdinand Jr. complained

Ferdinand's face sank, is this revealing his black history again?

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

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

Little Ferdinand decisively confessed, he didn't want to make himself uncomfortable, and now he was in big enough trouble.

At first, he thought it was just acting, and it was no problem at all! In less than a week, he was going to have a breakdown.

Every day, he had to meet with his crying mother-in-law according to diplomatic ceremonies, and at first several cabinet ministers were accompanied by him, but in less than three days these people were gone.

Obviously, everyone hid under the pretext that they were busy with official business, and he was the only emperor who couldn't escape.

The ministers can 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 is not good, and his mother-in-law is not counted, and his queen is destroying his nerves together, making him seem to have become a heinous sinner.

There are also reporters watching from the side, this is a formal diplomatic meeting, and the drama must be performed sufficiently, even if it has no effect, there should be no less procedures.

"It's just the beginning, you can't stand it, don't forget that I was destroyed by your mother for several years, didn't I come over the same?" Ferdinand gloated

"No, can it be the same? Mother is just concerned about your uncle's safety, she didn't let you go to the troubled waters of the Russian Civil War!

Besides, it wasn't a few years, but a week at most, and it was back to normal.

Now I'm going to act with them, of course they're really sad, just cry, but I don't feel it, in order to squeeze out tears, I use pepper! Ferdinand Jr. 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 this show is over!" Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

"Is there any other way? I feel like I'm sick from them, and the impact is very bad! Ferdinand Jr. said with a frown

"Don't come to this set, don't I know your kid's mind? Are you worried that you will be complained by your wife if you do this, so I will come to you with this idea, right?

Don't worry, they are more tired than you in this kind of play, even if they are sad in their hearts, don't they feel uncomfortable doing this useless show every day? Ferdinand said dismissively

"But father, I see Juliana crying very sadly, she is in a very bad mood, and she is pregnant with a child, I am afraid that she will not be able to stand the stimulation!" Little Ferdinand said with a headache

"Is that a problem? You can make a promise to them privately to soothe them! As long as it's not a promise to the Dutch government, it doesn't matter! Ferdinand said with a smile

Little Ferdinand nodded, isn't it just shameless? When is a politician going to have a face? This is a compulsory course for them, any successful emperor is a shameless emperor!

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

Europe is still very tolerant in this regard, the public to the public, and the private to the private. The emperor can also have a personal position, but when it is contrary to the interests of the country, he cannot say it publicly.

"Okay, then I'll get sick with them, and let the Dutch government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs slowly pull off!" Ferdinand Jr. 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, don't underestimate the discipline of the bureaucrats!" Ferdinand said calmly

Don't look at the fact that diplomats are usually polite and think that they are really easy to talk to, and it is not a joke that a weak country has no diplomacy.

The current Dutch government-in-exile has nothing, not even a single army has been saved, and it is unknown whether the colonial government will obey their orders.

Otherwise, the French will have to keep them, where do they need to run to Bulgaria?

"My father, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, has come to this point, and the Dutch government is mostly responsible, and their foreign policy has determined the current tragedy!

It's better for them to suffer a little grievance, so as not to know the height of the sky, and the brains of doing things! Little Ferdinand said with a sneer

After the end of World War I, the Dutch government turned diplomatically toward Britain and France, and after the conflict between Britain and France broke out in 1926, the Dutch government vacillated between them.

Later, after the marriage of the royal families of the two countries, the Dutch government had another object to swing, but Bulgaria was not interested in the European continent, so the people-to-people relations between the two sides were good, and the government relations were indeed lukewarm.

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

When the two alliances were established, the Dutch government found that France was isolated, and they sensed the danger and decisively chose neutrality in order to avoid being affected by the pond fish.

After choosing neutrality, he was fooled by the British again, and he fell in love with the Germans.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, they did not immediately join the Western European Alliance, but wandered away, especially after the outbreak of the war, seeing that the French singled out Germany and Italy to gain the upper hand, they gave up the idea of joining the Western European Alliance.

But the Germans were not so good at talking, and in order to win the war, they simply lost their face and directly tore up the agreement between the two sides and launched a war against the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

It can be said that the foreign policy of the Dutch government after the First World War was to dance on a tightrope, and now it has fallen off.

You must know that when the Eastern European Alliance was established, Ferdinand Jr. also sent them an invitation, after all, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is the world's main supplier of natural rubber, and it still has a certain 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 had also extended an invitation to them, and the French government was ready to establish an anti-German line of defense in the Netherlands to complete the general line of defense.

In order not to be affected by the war, the Dutch government decisively refused, and finally when the war came, they found that they had no friends.

Just as tragic as the Kingdom of the Netherlands is Belgium, the Belgian government, which is now being beaten to the ground by Germany, and Belgium would have been doomed had it not been for the last-minute intervention of the French.

Even if they weren't finished, they were actually worse off than the Dutch, and Germany and France were engaged in a fierce battle in Belgium, and it was not so easy to tell the winner for a while.

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

……

"Your Majesty, the top of the Bulgarian government is willing to see us, don't you think?" Prime Minister Koris said embarrassed

Queen Wilhelmina frowned and said, "No! In the face of national interests, any personal feelings must be taken aside, and now we have become persona non grata.

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

As a matter of urgency, we still need to form a National Salvation Army as soon as possible, otherwise what will I do to negotiate with others? ”

"But Queen, we don't have anything now, and we can't form an army at all, so why don't you give the colonial government an order for them to form an army?" Kryss suggested

Queen Wilhelmina said dissatisfiedly: "This is not a good suggestion, my Prime Minister, Japan is eyeing the South Seas region, and we cannot draw any troops from there."

Besides, when we get to Europe, do we raise it? If you throw it into the battlefield, it will be over in less than a week! ”

Kryss frowned, it was you who let the army be formed, and it was you who didn't let the army be formed, what kind of trick did you want to play?

It's a pity that Queen Wilhelmina is just finding fault, she has long been dissatisfied with the prime minister, but unfortunately the system of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, even if she is dissatisfied, she can't do anything.

However, there are exceptions, such as now, without a prime minister supported by Parliament, it is nothing.

When she arrives in Bulgaria, she is the queen who is recognized as the leader of the country, and she can always let the prime minister out if she wants to.

As the person directly responsible for the fall of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, she wants to remove the prime minister at this time, but no parliament has come forward to make trouble, and no one can say anything even in the future.

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

"Your Majesty, now that the government has no money and no revenue, what can we do if we don't rely on the colonies?" Kryss asked rhetorically

"That's your question - Prime Minister, you put the gold in the treasury in London, but you single-handedly pushed it, and now you are not responsible for it?" Queen Wilhelmina said with a sneer

Kryss understood, this was telling him to fuck off. And not only to remove him from the prime ministership, but also to hold him accountable for the current situation.

This is politics, the whole country has fallen, how can it be possible for such a big thing, no one has come out to take responsibility?

Is there an alternative to the government cabinet?

The cabinet members are going to be finished collectively, and he, the prime minister, is undoubtedly the culprit, and I don't know how many pots will be buckled on his head in the future!

Knowing that he knows, Kryss is powerless to refute, there are too many black spots, and he originally wanted to use the power of Bulgaria to recover his homeland as soon as possible, and then erase these black histories.

However, the queen made it clear that she would not give him this opportunity, and she was determined to let him be ruined.

No, now he's ruined. It can be seen from the attitude of the Dutch in Bulgaria that when they hold a fundraising meeting, they are sprayed with blood.

"Then the queen will choose another talent, I don't have this ability!" Corris said with a grim face

"Okay, since you don't have the ability to take on this responsibility, then I'll change the prime minister, I guess you don't have an opinion, right?" Queen Wilhelmina scoffed

There is no way, now that Germany has invaded the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the British have German allies, how can they show their attitude to Bulgaria if they leave a pro-British cabinet behind?

The reality has already decided that this government must be pro-pro-protection, otherwise if you want to get the support of the Bulgarian government, you can't even think about it.

Corris was a fan of the authorities, otherwise he would have thought of this a long time ago, and then changed his political stance as quickly as possible, let alone keep in touch with the British.
