The development of industrial enterprises is inseparable from the support of funds.

In the Netherlands, there are three main sources of funding for industry. They are the self-accumulation of the industrial sector, the conversion of commercial capital to industrial capital and foreign investment, but before the third project, the Netherlands was highly unstable, and the self-accumulation of the industrial sector was also very weak.

Therefore, although the Netherlands has followed the wave of the British Industrial Revolution, the economy has also developed rapidly, but he knows that from preparation to now the second *** has come, he wants to achieve a leading position, commercial capital to industry The transformation of capital is particularly important.

With the development of the market and economy, commercial capital began to turn to direct control over commodity production, which meant that commercial capital began to gradually transform into industrial capital. And this is also based on the purpose and premise of maximizing profits. The Netherlands, like the United Kingdom, uses commercial means to allow the Netherlands to control industrial production and raw material production in the textile industry and spices and other commodities.

The Netherlands started from the global coachman to monopolize, process and sell the products ordered or acquired from scattered small commodity traders and make profits from them.

With the continuous expansion of the Dutch market and the European market for Dutch goods, the handicraft workshops of a few people in the Netherlands have gradually turned into small factories composed of dozens of people, and even factories with hundreds of thousands of people such as William Group.

Therefore, the Dutch economy has developed rapidly.

"I remember the 1861 report that the exchange rate was £1 = $5 = 25 guilders.

In 1861, the northern United States had a population of 22 million, about 300 million pounds, and an average annual average of about 90 dollars and 18 pounds.

In the same period, the GDP of the UK was 1.5 billion pounds, with a population of 30 million and an average of 50 pounds per capita.

In the same period, the Netherlands has a population of 6 million, 6 billion guilders, 1.2 billion US dollars, 240 million pounds, and 40 pounds per capita. "

William IV looked at the latest economy compiled by Bill Charlie.

Refers to the above list of countries' economic aggregates and per capita.

William IV compared.

"In this 1864 report of countries, the North American economy has fallen by 5%, leaving only £240 million, but the per capita has not changed?"

He looked at McKay Sean a little.

"McKay Shaun seems to have known for a long time that this question would be asked, saying:

"Your Majesty, that is because the population of the north and south of the United States has also dropped sharply because of the war. At the same time, because of the war, people who have immigrated to the United States in the past have chosen to leave and return to the European continent or the South during the three years of war. The Americas developed, so the economic regression and the population reduction rate were the same, but their per capita output value was not much different.

This government report from the Union Secretary of the Interior, Walbers, gave us the real data."

Hearing this, William IV was silent.

In the current report, compared with 1861, after three years of development, the British domestic industrial economy developed rapidly in 1864, and with the emergence of overseas colonies such as the Indian subcontinent, the mining industry in South Africa injected economic vitality into the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, it has risen from 1.5 billion pounds to 2 billion pounds in three years, an increase of 20%.

With a population of 32 million people, the population increased by 6.6%.

The average per capita has reached around £60, an increase of around 20%.

This allows the UK to continue to lead the world in terms of GDP.

However, although the Netherlands can only come close to the total.

But the growth rate is the highest in Europe, with an increase of 46%, from the original 240 million pounds to 350.4 million pounds.

The population has grown from the original 6 million people, through the growth and the return of the overseas population, as well as the surge of newborns, the current Dutch population has reached 9 million, an increase of 50%.

Still £40 per person.

Seeing this, I was very satisfied.

After all, with 3 million people in 3 years, the population has increased by half, and the economy has not fallen. Thank goodness. Looking at the combination of East and West Germany in later generations, Germany's economic per capita GDP has dropped sharply.

But this is the Dutch, other Far East natives and African blacks, etc., there is actually no comparison.

The Far East is a little better. Under the guidance of William IV from 1857, Jakarta's central city development has expanded, and Jakarta has become the largest commercial center in the Southeast Asia region and the largest distribution center for international trade goods in the Far East.

The transportation there is convenient, connecting the entire Pacific Ocean and the North and South of the Indian Ocean.

Therefore, the GDP of Jakarta, a city with only 700,000 people, is as high as 20 pounds per capita. Of course, it is driven by nearly half of the Dutch people there. 】

This population and economic scale are enough to compare with Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.

It makes him the third largest city under the jurisdiction of the Netherlands.

Of course, with the rise of almost pure Dutch cities such as Sydney and Melbourne, which are rapidly rising in Australia.

In a few years, it is not surprising that they will soon be replaced by them in the south.

However, although the scale and per capita are currently inferior to the United Kingdom and France, when he thinks that even Edison, my future electrical industry leader, is now in the Netherlands, then with the help of this inventor in the future, will the Netherlands not be? Will it counterattack?

"Many people are very afraid of people of color. I believe that in this world, I may be the only one who can tap their economy. They will use the protective film of the Netherlands to help the Netherlands reach the top of the world."

......

"Your Majesty, will the current civil strife of your will cause their civil strife and then affect France?"

Napoleon III and Olivier were also discussing the movements of their northern neighbors.

Napoleon III smiled and said: "The war in Mexico has been going well recently. Thanks to the North American Federation, they are the Confederates of the South who have no time to take care of our further advance in Mexico, but to please us in order to deal with the North. This may be Lincoln did not expect yes"

Olivier is also excited: "As long as Mexico is taken, then France's position in the entire Americas will definitely take on a new look, then our position in the Americas is enough to challenge the UK, and the UK is now facing the West in Canada and the Netherlands in the Alaska Peninsula. South. It is obvious that the situation is absolutely unpleasant. Your Majesty, Viscount Palmerston, will you take a risk, unite with the South, and send troops to Canada to help the Confederate States?"

When Napoleon III heard Olivier say this, he quickly ran to the map and his eyes fell on the map of North America. When he saw that Canada and the North of the United States were actually allied for thousands of kilometers, he was moved.

Obviously, if he were Queen Victoria, this good deal would indeed take the opportunity to go south to the Northern Commonwealth to earn benefits.

But will this be the case in the UK?

Not done, what is the purpose?

Napoleon III didn't know, but when he thought he was Queen Victoria, he would definitely let it go.

In other words, now that the civil war in the United States has broken out, it is time to officially take the opportunity to claim benefits.

Napoleon III even wanted to replace him and do what the British should do.

......

On April 25, 1865, the North and South of North America fought a tough battle in Richmond. The Union Army led by Grant defeated the Confederate army led by Robert E. Lee and drove the Confederates out of their own capital.

For a time, even Lincoln couldn't stay.

The people of the Commonwealth were all rejoicing, while the South was generally gloomy. Is this an imbalance?

Many people don't know how to answer.

However, the United Kingdom is very clear to tell everyone that this touches the balanced diplomacy of the United Kingdom and the Americas, and therefore opposes the oppression of the South by the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom officially announced on April 30 that it would continue to sell existing firearms to the Confederate States of the South. At the same time, the British Army dispatched more than 3,000 heroic soldiers from the mainland to safeguard the sovereignty of the South from the invasion of the North.

On April 18, 1865, the "Prussian-Austrian Agreement" was signed in Berlin by the Prime Ministers of Prussia and Austria.

The contract stipulated that Austria received control over Schleswig and Prussia under Holstein.

The two countries held a grand signing ceremony in Berlin, and when everyone saw it, the two copies of the contract were finally exchanged into their respective hands.

Its signing, which represents the official end of the relationship with Schleswig and Holstein.

However, many people understand that this is just the beginning, and around these two places, there will be more blood and rain in the future.

Beuist stood up against the document of the two countries. He said that it was unacceptable. As members of the German Confederation, the two countries should not try to bypass the German Confederation Parliament and go it alone. the contempt of the country.

As Boist stepped forward, Hannover and Saxony expressed dissatisfaction and declared that they would not recognize Prussia and Austria. Call for a parliamentary meeting with a full vote.

But how could Puao agree, so the two countries began to think in their respective economic turf, and explained to each country that they would not give up their sovereignty.

In this way, the two countries almost aroused the dissatisfaction of the German confederates at the same time.

Even the Kingdom of Bavaria ~lightnovelpub.net~ also expressed its willingness to contribute to the governance of Schleswig and Holstein.

Austria stood up in the face of its most important ally, Bavaria, and was very stunned.

Apparently the close relationship between the two countries is starting to suffer.

Next, Austria discovered that almost all the parliamentary bills they proposed would face objections from various countries.

But there are also many followers who used to follow behind Austria, but now they are against the water?

Few people in Europe realize that the signing of this peace represents the birth of a new history.

William IV speculated that perhaps Prue would launch a united war in the future, but in the same country, it would be much more difficult.

Because before defeating Austria, there is no opponent, and the effect of other principalities can only choose to surrender.

Now Prussia needs to face a new enemy, which may be difficult for Prussia and Bismarckes at home.
