"Opening 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne (

"The International Court of Justice in The Hague is just a smoke bomb. Although it is useful, it is not pragmatic. It is fundamental to develop itself."

When all countries are praising the Netherlands' efforts for world peace or the political leaders of all countries are praising William IV for stirring up all countries in the world to make profits for the Netherlands, William IV is in his own office to meet the people who have just returned from the Far East to report their work. Deputy Prime Minister Flos Aaron von Hall.

"Your Majesty, the island of New Guinea is changing with each passing day, and great changes are taking place every day. Although it is incomparable with Europe, the economic development of the island of Elysium and Port Moresby is not bad. Today, the entire province of New Guinea has a population of More than 800,000 people, of which 43% are Dutch whites, it can be said that more than half are gradually approaching.”

William IV did not express his satisfaction or dissatisfaction to him, but said: "The dominant position of the white Dutch must be implemented in place, and those who are not of my race must have different hearts. I think you have heard this sentence."

Deputy Prime Minister Floss Allan von Hall nodded and said, "In the Qing Empire in the Far East, it is said that everyone from children to adults will say this, especially the largest ethnic group that opposes the Qing Dynasty and restores the Ming Dynasty. people"

William IV nodded, but said: "The Qing Empire is more complicated, but another example is more clear, that is the country of Riben, they are almost all of the same ethnic group, so it is difficult for outsiders to learn from Defeating them from within, the country united, is a great threat to our Far East"

Flos Aaron von Hall was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly: "The population of that country is said to exceed 40 million, but it is relatively poor. Before 1830, it had close silver trade with our Kingdom of the Netherlands, but Since the British Viscount Palmerston tried to put pressure on us in the Netherlands, he did not trade with us in the Far East, East India, and threatened his country not to trade silver with us, blocking our financial revenue, and eventually he began to alienate. We have taken refuge in the stronger and stronger Britain. Now we are an ally of the British Far East.

Your Majesty, it is said that their Meiji Emperor-Emperor is based on silver trading, using British technology to comprehensively promote the country's industrialization process, and playing the slogan of Meiji Restoration in the country. In their cabinet, the Senate is preparing legislation, learning The Western system directly made the Meiji Restoration a part of the constitution, and it is very likely that it will be implemented nationwide next year. If this is the case, it may be a huge market for industrial products from European countries including the Netherlands.”

The more William IV listened, the darker his face became.

"Co-authored, all of you in the Far East think this way"

After hearing the words, Floss Araen von Hall finally nodded and said, "The Far East is too far from Europe. If the Far East wants to develop rapidly, the industrial products must find a market. The Indian subcontinent in the north is occupied by the United Kingdom. , don't even think about it. On the Pacific North America side, the southern United Kingdom has also occupied the market. Although the output of the Lincoln government's own industrial products has decreased due to the war, the remaining market share is not much.

The market of more than 7 million people in Siam can satisfy us, but now the United Kingdom and France are also eyeing it, so the few people there are very eager for the market of this country.”

When William IV heard this, he could no longer pursue it.

Yes, the Far East needs to be industrialized, so it must find a market. The population of the Far East, including East India, seems to be quite large, with a population of 20 million, but the consumption is still relatively low. With a population of more than 150 million people, coupled with the dumping market of gunboat industrial products around the world, the British industrial product market is terrifyingly large.

France even claims second place in this respect, but less than half that of England. The third is Prussia, which is one-third, and the Commonwealth of America is fourth, which is only one-fourth of the United Kingdom.

Now that the South has established the Confederate States, it seems that the Lincoln government is difficult to unify the entire United States of America. In this case, for the future United States of America, the future potential of the United States has dropped by at least one level.

At most, it is not much different from the German Confederation, and the unique external environment of the previous life is no longer there, and the North American continent has even split into four major countries.

British Canada, the Commonwealth of America, the Confederate States of America, Mexico. Among them, the Federal State is the strongest, but the two ends are colonies and countries supported by the United Kingdom, and Mexico in the south is supported by the French Empire, so the Federal State is also in a disadvantageous position. But that's what's good for the Netherlands.

North America with a unified stance, and the hegemony of Milliken, will pose a threat to Holland's position in the Pacific Ocean.

Now the Commonwealth is nearly allied with the Netherlands, which in turn is allied with Argentina in the south.

If you look at Europe, it seems that there is no threat to the countries.

But if you look at the East Indies, the Australian homeland of the Far East, the Netherlands, plus the South Pacific Islands,

Such an iron triangle would be very strong for the Netherlands, the United States of America and Argentina.

Therefore, the development of the Far East must be completed quickly, but Japan needs to be included in the market scope of the development of the Netherlands.

Now the nine major provinces in the Far East need to develop ~lightnovelpub.net~ Forget it, Japan is about to develop, and it will take decades, and it will take a long time. After they developed, the Netherlands in the Far East didn't know what it would look like.

In addition to Theo von Linden, a senior official in New Guinea and Simscock, a senior official in East India, the other seven senior officials in the Far East have been prime ministers of the Netherlands. Such a team, But the equivalent of seven prime ministers are in charge of their respective provinces, of which the deputy prime minister of the Far East, Flos Aaron von Hall, is in charge of the deputy capital of William Province (Victoria, Australia).

As for Theo von Linden, a high-ranking official in New Guinea Province and a high-ranking official in East India Province, Simscock, the former was the former Deputy Minister of the Navy of the Far East of the Netherlands, and the latter was the Governor of the Far East. It can be said that he is also a prince for nearly ten years. .

These nine people are one of the most powerful figures under William IV, and they are overkill to rule a province, so for the development of the Far East, he does not think that the Japanese will overtake their Netherlands.

William IV reminded: "Ri has a large population, and if it develops, it may be a threat. Britain is not afraid of staying away from them, but we are all on the edge of the Western Pacific. Therefore, we need to be careful and do our best to be in place. "

Although Flos Araen von Hall did not understand why His Majesty was so worried about that impoverished country, he still kept it in mind after years of prudence. Small cabinet meeting to publicize the will of His Majesty William IV.

William IV followed the inquiry to the Far East Industries, and Hall responded fluently, which made William IV's move to promote the other party to be the deputy prime minister to control the Far East for him instantly felt too right.

"How is the development of the navy there at the moment?"
