Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, the constitutional monarchy of the Netherlands, as the queen of this time, Wilhelmina can not sit still after receiving the news from the United Kingdom.

Wilhelmina, who succeeded to the throne twelve years ago, was only ten years old, and four years ago the regent, at the age of eighteen, formally handed over the kingship to Wilhelmina.

However, as a constitutional monarchy in the Netherlands, in fact, the royal rights are not much, but more as a symbol, many things the royal family has no right to intervene.

The real government in the Netherlands is the two chambers of the First and Second Houses, as well as the Prime Minister of the Netherlands and members of his cabinet.

If it were only a general case, Wilhelmina did not need to attend such a meeting, but she could not sit still when it came to the main Dutch colony.

The current Dutch Prime Minister, Nicolas Pearson, urgently called a cabinet meeting.

Prior to this, Pearson had made contact with the Dutch East Indies many times, but the news was that the mud cow had gone to sea, and confirmed that the Dutch colony had happened, and was most likely more serious than expected.

However, half an hour has passed since the royal meeting was held, and a clear plan has not yet been negotiated.

Who is the enemy?I don't know.

What kind of weapons does the enemy have?I don't know.

How many enemies?I don't know.

What is the situation in the Dutch East India?I don't know.

Four major problems, the Dutch government, thousands of miles away, a smear of nothing, how to make an effective decision?

The only certainty of the first work is to find a way to find out what is going on in the Dutch East Indies at this point, and then there is a way to determine what to do next.

Wilhelmina listened for half an hour and found all the nonsense that was useless, which made her feel powerless, and could only hold her head and listen to the various meaningless discussions below.

Colonization is an extremely dishonourable thing, and for those who stand on the side of the plunder, this dishonor is as unconsidered as possible, and the rise of all great powers is based on colonial rule.

Especially for the Netherlands and Portugal, which is already in the thin West, the colony is already the last holy place and the country’s only major source of wealth.

Losing the colony, it is definitely cutting meat with a knife, and this pain can not be forgotten in a short time.

No one wanted to lose the colony, and so did Pearson, and so did William Minna.

While the discussion was still ongoing, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the man handed a thick telegram to Prime Minister Pearson, and immediately withdrew and closed the door of the room again.

At this moment, the room was quiet, and all eyes were on Pearson.

Pearson took the telegram and looked at it carefully, the expression on his face, more and more unsightly, clutching the telegraph’s hands, all in a slight trembling.

This scene made everyone nervous, Williamina is no exception, after all, she is just a girl in her early twenties, when it comes to maturity, it is still early.

As time passed by, Pearson put down the telegram in his hand and said, "This is a telegram from the Dutch East Indies, the latest telegram from the Dutch East Indies."

"Was it from Governor-General Autterel?"What is the content?”Wilhelmina, hearing the words, seemed to be at ease, and it seemed to her that it should be Governor-General Autter's report to the kingdom on the matter.

Pearson, however, shook his head and said, "The bastard of Aurel has long been a prisoner, and our navy, our army, is all over."

After Pearson finished, he sat in a chair in a decadent slump, and he had only been prime minister of the Netherlands this year, and only a few months later, he had encountered such a thing, which made him really not know what to do.

"How is it possible that we have 60,000 standing army and a strong navy, and how can it be done."On the side, an incredible shout from the MP: "This is certainly a plot of the aggressor, this is absolutely a conspiracy."

"Is it the same conspiracy as it is all to us, that the telegrams were sent through our cable telegrams, and that is not enough to explain the problem?"Pearson sighed.

No one was a fool, and Pearson’s words silenced everyone present.

The enemy sent a telegram to expound the facts, whether this provocative or so, from this incident, suffices to say that there is now no capacity for telegraphing in the Dutch East Indies, either the Dutch army or navy or the Chamber of Commerce.

In this regard, the problem has been fully explained.

“This is a well-planned conspiracy, definitely French, definitely French.”Someone else couldn’t stop shouting.

Yet no one answered the subject, and Williamina and Pearson were thinking about what the outcome of the event would be.

There is no standing military force in the Netherlands, only officers, and then the recruitment of citizens, the whole process can not be completed in a short period of time.

And now the Netherlands does not have enough naval escorts to the Far East, after all, even the main naval forces in the Far East have no news to return, it is impossible to take such a risk.

If it were only a colonial war of independence, it would never have been possible to get to such a point, and the navy would not have been able to have any news.

Before that, the British said in the news about the wreckage of the Dutch warship, but no one wanted to believe it.

They were more willing to believe that this was just a big trouble, but as long as the kingdom acted, it could suppress everything.

As long as the Dutch garrison on the Dutch side of the East India can hold the defensive line, the Dutch Navy can master the advantage and have the strength of a war in the middle of the country, so that the Dutch side can send more troops to Southeast Asia to help the colony garrison and solve this trouble.

Hope is very full, but the reality is too cruel.

Wilhelmina could not stay, and after sitting for half an hour, she said, "Further confirmation of the news, what to do."

With an ambiguous remark left, Wilhelmina got up and walked toward the conference room door, which Pearson tried to hold on, but could find no reason to see the Queen leave at a heavy pace.

In the room, as quietly as dead again, Pearson could not stay, took a deep breath, tried to cheer himself up, and gave the Prime Minister's order: "I will try to find out what happened in the colony."

“Are you going to recruit soldiers and prepare ships?”

Pearson heard the words, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Let's put it aside in advance."
