Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

v3 Chapter 138: 7 former prime ministers downgraded?

In fact, if Adelaide is only the deputy capital of Australia, it is actually the most suitable, because of its geographical location, when the east-west railway is completed, it will become the traffic center of the east and west, and because the west is erected from south to north, the Victoria Desert, Gibson Desert, Great Sand Desert, and Simpson Desert to the east.

Therefore, the most convenient way for Australia to go north is the area between the deserts on both sides, and the north of Adelaide, which is in the southern center, is just in the southern coastal center between the two deserts. From here, passing through Leigh Creek , Mali, Neil Pinna, Oudna Datta, Pedka, this is the northernmost tip of South Australia, and it is the MacDonnell Mountains in Northern Australia Province, and it also reaches Ellis, the central hub of Australia. springs.

After arriving here, continue north is the Darwin route, east is north-central Queensland, and west is northern Western Australia, so Alice Springs is also known as the most central city in Australia.

So it is also the shortest route to Darwin in the north.

This railway has also become the most important safety strategic railway in William IV's view, in addition to the three economical railways that run across the east and west in the south, and the two railways in the east and west through the south and north.

Because of it, this road route, from Adelaide to Darwin in the north, from Darwin through the Timor Sea in the west, is the most equidistant to the east and west sides of East India.

Whether it is East India, Australia supports East India, or South Australia has East India support, it will be the most convenient, time-consuming and safest route.

Therefore, the completion of this railway is definitely the most important key measure for the Netherlands to move south from East India, which has been firmly grasped, to Australia.

With it, the real Dutch **** of Australia will definitely save over 10+ years.

With it, Australia is divided into east and west halves and can also penetrate deep into the core inland part.

As long as the population base of the Netherlands is sufficient, you can slowly migrate along the way, turning small villages into small towns and small cities.

Even in William IV's plan, Alice Springs will be built into a central central city, where airships, aircraft, etc. that will appear in the future can settle down there and become an aerospace industry base.

Adelaide, South Australia, mainly has manufacturing, military manufacturing and R&D centers, as well as the automobile industry center that will appear later. It is also Australia's largest naval construction base.

In the future, the scale will exceed the naval base of Bliss Island.

Perth, Western Australia, a national center for mining, metallurgy, material research and development, metal processing and other industries.

Darwin, Northern Australia is the mining industry, the oil and gas industry, the oil refining industry, as well as the regional commercial center, the naval construction industry and the cargo ship construction industry.

Bluesbane, Queensland, is mainly built around the construction of industry and commerce, education industry, light industry, and built a food processing industry center relying on huge planted food.

Sydney, New Wales, built into a trade, financial, education center and a national business center

Melbourne, the deputy capital of William Province, will be built into the largest urban center in the country, with industries such as heavy machinery, textiles, paper, chemical and metal processing, and other industries such as automobiles, textiles, and food that will appear in the future.

Stock exchange, financial center, high-tech R&D center.

The southern city of Hobart, Tasmania, is made of metal forging, steel casting, paper making, textile fertilizer, wood and meat processing and fruit processing. At the same time, it will also be one of Australia's commercial shipyards.

When he first came to Melbourne, William IV lived in the former British Governor's Palace, now the temporary Dutch royal palace.

And here, he met Theo Von Linden, the Vice Admiral of the Navy in charge of the Far Eastern Navy, and the Governor Jane Simscock. With the arrival of these two people, William IV is now surrounded by Director of International Intelligence McKay Sean, Minister of Industry Wem Cotter, Minister of Education Ruud Bells, First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Venus, Finance Minister Deputy Minister Tom

Admiral Jan Peter, Vice Admiral Theo von Linden.

Army Chief of Staff Jope Il.

Governor of East India Jane Simscock.

Almost all Dutch functions are covered.

However, a few people appeared in the middle, but everyone was stunned, because the people who appeared were actually the former Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

From March to May 1848, he was the former Dutch Prime Minister for only 3 months, the liberal Gerrit Simopanick.

Jacob De. 1 year November 1848-November 1849.

April 1853-July 1856 (second term February 1860-March 1861) Flos Aaron von Hall.

Justin von der Bruggen, July 1856-March 1858.

March 1861-November 1861 Jacob von, Louis Lun.

Jane Jacob Rokusen, February 1858-March 1862.

Sherto von Hemstra, November 1861-February 1862

After all, except for the current Prime Minister Johann Rudolf Tolbe, all the Prime Ministers appointed in the Netherlands in 1848 have all gathered here.

These are the famous figures of the Netherlands in the past. Therefore, even the senior officials of the Dutch government who hold great power now choose to keep a low profile. After all, many of them are supported by these former prime ministers.

Among these former prime ministers, all of them are liberals except Bruegan, who is Christian.

"Everyone, I don't need to introduce these, everyone is familiar with this, this is our former prime minister of the Netherlands"

After William IV and other people sat down, the gentleman briefly introduced the new team of the Privy Council to several prime ministers.

"Several old prime ministers have worked hard for the Netherlands. I shouldn't have bothered them any more, but the Netherlands is now entering a critical period of development, especially in the Far East.

If the Netherlands wants to rise further in the world, it must clench its fists tightly and not waste a little bit of strength, so that the Netherlands can be revived~lightnovelpub.net~ reproduce the glory of the original world coachman, and even participate in the world's In the struggle for hegemony,

The Netherlands does not have much time to let others wait for us to change and develop slowly. On the contrary, we should far surpass other countries in terms of development speed. "

William IV pointed to McKay Sean, Director of International Intelligence, Wem Cotter, Minister of Industry, Ruud Bells, Minister of Education, Venus, First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tom, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, and Jan Peter, Secretary of the Navy. , Vice Admiral Theo von Linden, Chief of Army Staff Jopp Ill, Governor of East India Jane Simscock.

To these former prime ministers: "These are my team deployed in the Far East, and also the members of the Privy Council where we are now."

The person William IV looked at again pointed to several prime ministers and said, "Everyone, this is the candidate for high-ranking Australian officials that I have prepared when I was in the country."

Except for the 7 former prime ministers, the others all showed their expressions. Obviously, William IV did not expect such an arrangement.

Except for the current Prime Minister John Rudolf Tolbeck, all the Prime Ministers who have been successfully elected since 1848 are here. The seven former Prime Ministers correspond to the seven provinces of Australia. How can they be so accurate? Was it arranged by God?
