Martinas suddenly thought of something. He raised his head suddenly, looked at Venus, and exclaimed: "Could it be that the Netherlands, Prussia, and France are planning to come with immigrants from the three countries?"

"Yes," Venus nodded, "France and Prussia have already discussed with us and are preparing to intervene in southern Africa in the name of the Three Kingdoms."

"What price do we have to pay?"

"There is no free lunch in the world. I know that many Dutch people want to return to the motherland. His Majesty William IV told us that we must unite the Dutch people all over the world to gather strength like a rope. There are now more than 100 million Dutch people in the world, including South Africa. There are more than 50 people on our side. If we can unite you all under the Kingdom of the Netherlands, then why not worry about the Netherlands being strong and prosperous?"

"head of state"

Martinas stopped Nader and said: "I have made up my mind. Returning to the Netherlands has been our family's dream for generations. Now that the dream is about to come true, why should you stop it?"

Nader was silent, but from an angle that Martinas standing beside him could not see, Nader showed Venus an invitation to complete the task. After receiving Venus's nod, the former also showed his face. smiled.
