"No, this..." Netherlands paused, recollecting her thoughts. First, the fire set on the Binnenhof, then the National Police against the Batavian Socialists, and then the Landwacht gathering forces from both parties... This... this wasn't adding up. "No, this can't be right..." Netherlands muttered to herself, she tries to compose herself. But its hard when... things like these are realized. These are things that don't just happen one after another, she wasn't sure why these were happening, but these events right after another certainly weren't coincidences. It was... too much to be seen as simple coincidences, that much was certain. She leaned back in her chair, her mind racing, trying to work it all out... Unless someone or something caused or plotted these, this shouldn't be happening...

The question then, was that: who? Who was the one making all of this happen? For what purpose? It all seemed very... deliberate. Netherlands calmly shuffled through the papers, or well, as calmly as she could. Last time she checked... she didn't have any internal or even external factions that could possibly want to sabotage the Royalists. She paused, as another question suddenly came to mind: what was even the purpose of all of this? What could the one behind these events, be trying to accomplish?  Perhaps it was a personal agenda... or perhaps something a bit more malicious.

"This... still doesn't add up, no... I." Netherlands paused, as her face grimaced, perhaps there was someone she knew that might be behind all this. Quickly scavenging through the piles of paper, Netherlands dug up one politic document on the Partivergadering. Verbond voor Nationaal Herstel, or just the... VNH for simplicity. If anything, these events did seem like a plot constructed by the VNH, but... why? Netherlands paused to think, her face darkening the more she thought about it. The Dutchwoman's face darkened, as she thought about the VNH, the possible group behind these events. It certainly could be them... but why? Why would they be causing all of this to happen? And for what purpose? Her mind continued to think as she slowly read through the document, searching for answers, while also dreading what she could or might find...

Something caught her eye, the party seemed to have National populist sympathies towards the Reichspakt, hence garnering more support from the Germans and the Reichspakt in general. But... surely Germany wouldn't support these actions, Netherlands and Germany were allies, afterall. But, there was no way that the Reichspakt or Germany, would support acts like this, right? She and Germany, were allies after all... But the possibility of it... Netherlands, she had been... say, Liberal and more Progressive in comparison to the other members of the Pakt, but surely that wouldn't mean they'll sponser they'd National Conservatives within the government... right? Netherlands mind raced with concern. The problem was, she wasn't sure anymore. She had never had... the best relationship with the other members of the Pakt... so there was the possibility that they could... support this, right? The very idea left a bad taste in her mouth...
