britain raises its eyebrows and mumbles something about $24
Twenty four Guilders...? How about this, I will render the land to the Crown
for free if we can formalize a new treaty:
1. England, and her allies will pledge unconditional support for any wars we choose to fight,
as long as they are not in violation of treaties the Crown has made with countries we have chosen to go to war with.
2. England and her estate shall
NOT provoke, make defensive measures, initiate sanctions, and most certainly not declare war on the United Provinces if the Netherlands goes to war with a country that England and her estate is allied with. This section indicates you shall maintain neutrality if a country you are allied with goes to war with us.
3. In preperation for a standing army, one thousand five hundred English country men are to be stationed in the Netherlands for protection, I reserve to call these men to war in our conflicts
IF they do not forfeit treaties with pacts made by the Crown.
4. Two ships to help us develop our naval force
5. To render the small province on the other side of North America, located just under the claim of Sweden
6. An invasion of the Netherlands or her territories shall result in the dissolution of this treaty!
These are our terms and conditions and we are willing to negotiate if these terms seem unreasonable or do not fit your needs.
netherlands. give new amsterdam and we won't invade
I truly, truly hope, this was a sly comment meant in good humor and not at all serious.
The fact you would intimidate us into rendering our land shows your cowardice and unwillingness for civilized political matters.
Terms updated.
