Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 117

Frederick VII was about to inquire, but he saw Dutch Foreign Minister Hesbet Feng, who had talked at the banquet just now, walked in quickly. After looking at him, he was in William IV's ear. Say something softly.

His vague forehead seemed to hear the British words, but it was not very clear, and it seemed to be related to South Africa.

It was about England and Holland, which made him ticklish. Some wanted to know the whole truth, but because of his identity, he held back.

However, what was the news that Haysbert Feng brought? He observed that although William IV seemed to be calm, the corners of his mouth pouted to indicate that the news was good news, which made him even more aware that the Dutch The king has gained another harvest.

However, he didn't wait long, and William IV said directly to him: "As Queen Victoria promised just now, we will start migration activities in a few days, South Africa, the Netherlands will be adult British people in At the same time, the British will recognize the Dutch colonial status in Africa, and Australia will also become the Dutch territory.”

what!

That's it!

Great Britain speaks too well!

The king of Denmark was instantly dumbfounded. A lot of people beat the country to death just for a piece of territory, but now the Netherlands has won so much so quietly, and it is still obtained from the United Kingdom.

At this moment, Frederick VII finally made up his mind. Compared with Britain, he believed that Denmark was more inclined to the Netherlands.

The morning of July 29, 1862.

The East Indies of the Netherlands, the northwest of Java Island Province, the capital Jakarta, is the administrative center of the Netherlands in the Far East and the seat of the Governor's Office, so it is generally gathered here The elites of the Netherlands in the Far East, but the elites are always in the minority, the Netherlands is here Most of the people are from the bottom of society.

Most of the residences are in the form of rented houses.

Herbert Sack, who had just woken up, pressed his head hard, "Damn, I drank too much last night."

Putting on his shoes, he kicked away the Dutch beer bottle by the bed, even though he had been meeting with the Far East manager of the beer company half a month ago.

"Nika, pour me a pot of hot water." Sark shook his head. "God, you are no longer a rich man in the Far East. You are just a bankrupt bankrupt."

"I just finished washing up, I opened the door to go to the newspaper box to get today's newspaper. I didn't expect that the door next door would also open at this time. A middle-aged woman with a frowning face walked out. Seeing Sack, she said hello, "Hi, good morning. , Sark, haven't found a new job yet? If you want me to say, you lived so comfortably in the previous Jakarta mining company, why did you go out and look for it?"

"Oh, I will be able to find it today, the landlady. God can prove that I will pay you back the rent for last month as soon as possible."

The landlady smiled and said, "Well, Sark, I'm just greeting you. I don't mean to urge you. You are always so direct when you do things, which makes me embarrassed."

Sark took down the newspaper he had subscribed to, nodded at the landlady, and said nothing. After entering the house and closing the door, he muttered in a low voice: "It's strange that you don't mean that, since the beginning of this month. After I didn't pay the rent, you waited for me almost every morning, as if making an appointment, and greeted me every time. When I paid the rent on time before, I never saw you so kind."

However, he can also understand her position. If it was him, he might be more violent and uncivilized.

Shaking his head, while eating an extremely bad breakfast that he never even looked at before, he opened the Dutch East Indies local newspaper "Far East Daily", biting the half of the bread in his mouth and suddenly stopped chewing, because today The information brought by the newspaper was too big for his impact, big enough to suffocate, Sack only read the headline on the front page: The Netherlands Starts Australia's Development!

Seeing this title made him feel very strange, although he admitted that many people used to think that North Australia had gold, but it used to be British territory. Even if it belongs to the Netherlands now, everything seems to be unknown, so they are East India. People take a wait-and-see attitude towards this.

But now this title seems to repeat the content of the previous report, and there is a big development. There are few people there. It is better to go to Sumatra, where there are more developers. At least there are important routes, and more Europeans stay there.

Of course, for Queensland, he also recognized that it is a good place for farmers, otherwise there would not be so many people from the East India immigrating there. According to a newspaper report a few days ago, Dutch nationals, these few There are more than 50,000 households immigrating there every month, and it is still increasing. Many people predict that by the end of this year, there will be more than 200,000 Dutch immigrants there.

However, this will not impress the Sark immigrant. After all, the Australian and British are living very comfortably in the south, because Sydney in the south is the most similar place in Australia to Europe. If it is there, he may give up The familiar Jakarta now, after all, the rising potential in Sydney is still good.

Look away from the title and look down at the content.

Oh my gosh, did the Netherlands take another Australian part of the UK? Fortunately, the newspaper did not entice him. He continued to read, and was shocked, because in line with the content disclosed in the headline, the United Kingdom had transferred the entire southern part of Australasia to the Netherlands, and the recently popular South Africa The situation, but under the persuasion of the Netherlands, the Dutch people in these two places chose to withdraw from the situation in South Africa, return to the arms of the Netherlands, go north to Central Africa, assist the foreign policy of the Netherlands, and some people from these two places will immigrate to Australia. .

And it also clearly stated that Perth in the west and Adelaide and Melbourne in the south, as well as Sydney in the southeast and Brisbane in the east, will all be their immigration directions. The paper also called for immigrants from the East Indies, whether Dutch or aboriginal, to immigrate to Australia.

Has Australia all become Dutch?

He was stunned at first~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then his whole body shook at this moment, he grabbed the newspaper forcefully, and said loudly: "God is my dad, so the chance is right in front of you, Sark, your chance Come on, you will be one of the richest Dutch people in the Far East again."

Sac threw the bitten bread on the ground, and didn't eat breakfast, grabbed his jacket and went out, but maybe the sound was a little loud, which aroused his wife Nika's suspicion, but he didn't explain it, only She smiled gratefully: "wait for me to come back"

When he was going out, the landlady was there again. Seeing him go out, she deliberately asked, "Hi, Mr. Sack, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm going to get the money"

"Go to the bank? I didn't expect that you still have deposits, but the bank always needs to open after 9 o'clock, and now it is just after 7 o'clock. If you go early, I am afraid you will have to wait for a long time."

"No, Mrs. Landlord, I'm going to borrow some money. Don't worry, I'll pay you the rent first when I get back, and then take the money to go south to Australia, where my life will rise."
