I want to express that I share the same desire as our French neighbors a wish to end the bloodshed and that the Dutch King, William I, buries the battleaxe and acknowledges the sovereignty of the Belgian Kingdom as was discussed six years ago. As King of the Belgians, my responsibility is to do what is the best for the people living under the Belgian state, however I can not accomplish my task without the cooperation of His Majesty of the United Kingdom of Netherlands. Do not turn a blind eye for my people's pleas for independence yet again and drag this struggle on for several more years.

Belgians! We are a young Kingdom and I am a young king leading us and I'm proud over the people I've been given responsibility over. Only a few years old we have forged ourselves a reputation that of progress and prosperity known throughout Europe and the advances we've managed to do have inspired jealousy and desire in the Great Powers. The Railways of Belgium are our pride and connect our land together bringing the Flemish and Wallonian people together closer. However our neighbors do not view us as two different entities, we've created these grand masterpieces together as one people and that is something that is quite dear to my heart. We are not Dutch or French, we are Belgians with our own identity going all the way back to the Roman province of Gallia Belgica, we were the power base and ruling seat of Emperor and Augustus Charlemagne.
We need to unite and work harder to produce greater marvels than this world has ever seen! Together we will prevail, together we can push trough any obstacle, together we can achieve what no other nation can do. Trough unity we will be strong!
