The votes were held on the same day, the Netherlands had spent the last few months juggling an economic crash. But they could not avoid Germany's offer in the end.
The Prime Minister of the Netherlands stood in the depths of Parliament. His head was downcast, his words weighed down by a weight that was too heavy to bear.
"The vote has passed… the Netherlands will accept the proposal from the German National Bank for economic stabilization packages."
The chamber broke out into outroar. Accusations of cowardice and treason were levied against those who had voted in favor by those who had not.
But few among them stood up and retaliated. In fact, many of them had smug expressions while sitting calmly.
The rot in the Netherlands had gone so far that many of its Parliamentary Members were already loyal to the German Reich. They had simply cast a ballot to secure their place when the New Order came to power.
