Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 1153 Crisis in Colombia

On November 1882, 11, former President of the Republic of Colombia Rafael Nunez announced his participation in the December presidential election. This man had been president for two years and then was impeached by Domingo and lost his position as president of the Liberal Party. People directly announced that they would be defeated in this election.

“I would not do anything to damage the friendship between Colombia and the Netherlands, but Domingo would, and his right-hand man, Foreign Minister Francisco Javier Saldua, would.

Our alliance with the Netherlands has lasted for nearly a generation. Our lives have been peaceful and our economy has begun to prosper. What I don’t understand is why Domingo and Saldua would do something that would harm Colombia. Regarding relations with the Dutch allies.

Is this because of the illusory promises of winning or the personal interests of Domingo’s team? I really disagree with these, so I stood up, not because of the impeachment of the president, but because of you. It’s okay to think that I’m okay, and it’s even okay to think that this is a journey of revenge.

The Colombian national election on December 12 will be the beginning of an end to Domingo’s dictatorial diplomacy to satisfy his personal interests. I hope everyone will support me and oppose Domingo’s diplomacy.”

Many Colombian newspapers have reported on Rafael Nunez's declaration of running for president.

"There is no doubt that the former president is very smart and knows how to cater to the anti-British and pro-Dutch voters in Colombia. No one is willing to easily disrupt their current life. This will cause panic to them. After all, The future is unknown, and no one knows that the future we live now can be better than the present.

So that's why I say Rafael Nunez is smart. "

Venezuelan President Antonio Guzman Blanco actually commented on the situation in Colombia in Caracas.

Especially last week, British warships were allowed to visit the port of Panama City in the southwest Caribbean Sea, where the Dutch and Colombian navies have always gathered.

"Damn Rafael Nunez. And that damn Blanco is also a bastard. These two people are deliberately trying to get in trouble with me."

This made Domingo immediately angry, so he increased his close cooperation with the British.

"All these cats and dogs are firing at me. As the president of Colombia, can I not even decide the direction of this country's diplomacy?"

Domingo tore up all the newspapers in his hands. At this time, he was furious.

Now the British warships are visiting, which can be said to be further pressure on the Netherlands.

The Venezuelan president also euphemistically said: "Group unity is the greatest guarantee against foreign invaders. Countries that collude with foreign countries will be abandoned by domestic countries sooner or later. I believe Colombian voters will know how to choose."

"Venezuela's alliance with the Netherlands remains unchanged. I hope that our neighbors will continue to maintain the unity of the Thirteen Latin American Group instead of creating divisions. After all, the precedent of the Mexican War is there. Who wants to face those in Europe alone who harbor huge ambitions?" You are an ambitious intruder, so you can leave, we will not keep you."

Thinking of the Netherlands, Domingo's heart trembled slightly. Since he started contacting the UK last month, the number of times the Netherlands has expressed its opinions is pitiful.

But before the Netherlands could react, Rafael Nunez stepped forward to confront him.

And it is very clear that the Venezuelan president shows his disdain for the current President Domingo, but he is optimistic about Rafael Nunez.

It was originally thought that this would be used to blackmail the Netherlands into making more concessions and allowing Colombia to seek more benefits between the UK and the Netherlands. However, the UK was willing to give, but the Netherlands was indifferent.

Venezuelan President Blanco, a troubled man, also stood up and accused himself.

Well, at this moment, he knew that the Netherlands might not be willing to take action personally, but instead used his minions in Latin America to take action against him.

This is the result of his analysis with Foreign Minister Francisco Javier Saldua. Foreign Minister Francisco Javier Saldua: "Your Excellency, in this situation, it seems that the Netherlands has given up its support for you. In turn, the Netherlands has given up its support for Rafael Nunez. It’s going to be unprecedented, are you really determined to do this?”

Zardua asked worriedly.

In fact, he did not think that offending the Netherlands would gain more benefits at first. To be honest, many people in the Netherlands did not understand the operating mechanism.

Saldua only knew that this country seemed to be low-key, but very powerful. Even a generation of hegemonic countries like the United Kingdom were extremely wary of the Netherlands, and the German Empire was even more unwilling to take the initiative to deal with the Netherlands.

The Colombians, with their small arms and legs, offended the Netherlands and seemed to be hitting the stone with an egg.

So he tried to dissuade Domingo and starve him to death. The president was known for his reputation and was unwilling to bow his head and admit his mistakes, so things developed to this point.

Saldua knows Domingo very well, and it seems that he cannot be on good terms with the Netherlands this time.

That's the Netherlands.

How could Domingo offend the other party so easily.

As a result, the next conversation between the two ended with Salduya's inner dissatisfaction.

Back home, Saldua was still worried about this matter.

The United Kingdom is a very cunning country among many European countries.

Cooperating with them is like seeking skin from a tiger.

In doing so, Domingo has plunged Colombia into an uncertain future.

Pick up the tea cup and drink the warm tea.

"Mr. Salduya, there are people outside looking for you!" South America is like the United States. As long as the family has a small amount of assets, they will buy a few slaves to fill the facade. As the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Colombia, the Salduya family is naturally no exception.

"Invite him in." Now that the sun was setting, she still came to see him at this hour. It was obvious that she had something important to do, and she also came just in time for him to get off work.

Those who can know his whereabouts are quite powerful.

I just don’t know who this person could be?

After a while, the servant brought the man in. When he saw him, Saldua's hand holding the tea cup couldn't help but trembled, and he almost lost his grip and dropped it to the ground.

"Your Excellency Salduya, I haven't seen you for a long time. The last time we met was when I first came to your country to serve as the ambassador to Colombia at the beginning of the year. It has been almost half a year, and our second meeting came unexpectedly, just because It’s so hard to meet you, isn’t it?”

After hearing this, Saldua stood up immediately, with a smile on his face, and said: "Ambassador Louis Lun said this, it makes me seem to hate interacting with the Netherlands!"
