Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 219

In terms of natural resource utilization, if the Netherlands lacks native resources, then the Netherlands, which owns East India, Australia, and central Africa, is the country with the most resources.

The national policy of the Netherlands is to develop them.

As the Dutch territory continues to expand and develop in parallel, the Dutch discover new resources in the Far East and Africa every month, and rapidly develop and utilize them.

At the same time, the expansion of land also provided necessary conditions for the development of Dutch agriculture.

The expansion of agriculture also provided more sufficient materials for the development of industrialization.

In 1864, 8 of the 10 fastest-growing industries in the Netherlands were developed using agricultural products as raw materials.

Therefore, while noting the rapid development of Dutch industry during this period, William IV never neglected the promotion of the expansion of the Far East to the Dutch industry.

At the same time, William IV also observed that with the development, the Dutch's transformation of the company further stimulated the rapid growth of the Dutch industry.

Before 1857, when his father, William III, was at the helm of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the government would deny Dutch technological innovators (later scientists) requests for a license to the Kingdom of the Netherlands on the grounds that they were unconstitutional because they wanted Form a national science promotion agency of their own.

William III is more conservative and fears the emergence of another type of party interest group, adding another to the team that is already hindering his royal power in parliament.

However, after William came across in 1857, under his persuasion, his father William III finally gave up this control, and the parliament passed the constitutional act, so this prejudice in the Kingdom of the Netherlands disappeared.

In 1859, the Parliament of the Kingdom of the Netherlands unanimously passed a decree to establish the Royal Academy of Sciences promoted by the then Crown Prince William IV.

The establishment of this Royal Academy of Sciences made the scientists in the Netherlands very happy and joined them one after another, which is also the biggest boost to the overall development of the William Group.

With technology and technology, other factors have naturally become the key to the development of the Netherlands.

In particular, the role of population in boosting Dutch industry.

The massive influx of foreign migrants has provided an ample workforce for Dutch industry.

Among them, the mainland of Europe is dominated by Sweden and Norway, and the Far East is from all over the world.

Even in Europe, capital injections from other European countries and capital operations in the Netherlands have injected strong impetus into the development of the Netherlands.

The large savings of the Dutch and Amsterdam's status as the third largest financial center after London and New York have provided a large amount of capital for the development of the Dutch industry.

Transport within the Netherlands improves population growth, removal of tariff barriers and relatively high per capita wealth.

This provides a market for Dutch industrial products.

Of course, there is also the market development of the Netherlands in the Far East and the trade of industrial products with the Russian Empire. It is under the combined effect of these various conditions that the Dutch industry has completed a rapid leap in quality and quantity.

With the frequent outbreak of wars around the world, the role of this resonance effect in the Netherlands will become more obvious.

When the wars in various places stop, they will find that the Netherlands has completed its industrialization transformation and become the world's top industrial power.

William IV ruthlessly said: For warring states, war represents death, but for consumer warring states, war represents opportunity.

The Netherlands is an opportunist, but also a person who creates opportunities with his own hands.

Therefore, the war of the world must continue so that the Netherlands can profit from it.

As long as the war continues to burn in various countries, the immigration of various countries will not be interrupted, and the Netherlands can even implement the strategy of taking only talent immigration and labor strategy immigration, which will allow high-end European talents to flock to the Netherlands and the Far East.

Thinking of this, William IV was even more determined not to be able to quiet North America.

Because compared with the Far East, the United States of America in North America seems to be more suitable for European immigrants. If they stop having wars, they will be the biggest opponent for the talent strategy formulated by the Netherlands.

So the civil war in Milliken must continue, and Europe needs it all the more.

"At present, the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia have begun to fight. In addition to the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans, only the Austrian Empire has been beaten to the mainland, and the other countries have not experienced war. This is a kind of war for the Netherlands. loss.

The Ottoman Empire lacked talent, and they had a hard time immigrating to the Far East.

Only by burning the flames of war to all countries can the Netherlands be able to **** talents.

Just like this time when Prussia invaded the Kingdom of Hannover and the Austrian War, the Dutch intelligence agency, which started its layout early, hunted down a lot of talents from these two places, and now they have been sent to Australia. "

As a major European country, Austria is a huge talent pool for the Netherlands, which is the most attractive place for the Netherlands.

As far as he knew, the famous musician Johann Strauss, whom his wife Queen Alexandra liked very much, had immigrated to Australia because of the Austrian war.

William IV has also heard this guy's works, and his songs such as "Blue Danube", "Tales of the Vienna Woods", "The Sound of Spring" are all good.

However, William IV preferred Franz Liszt, a famous Hungarian musician whose family had just taken refuge in Amsterdam after Prussia had just entered Hungary.

This guy's "Prelude" in 1848, "Majepa" in '51 and "Piano Sonata in B Minor" in '52 and "Dante" in '55 all interested William IV.

However, what he is most interested in is his two major etudes in his early debut, "Twelve Etudes for Super Skills" and "Six Paganini Etudes".

Austrian musicians are famous, and Hungary's are not bad, but William IV naturally has his eyes on the scientists in both places.

If Sydney or Amsterdam become a music mecca, it would not be bad. After all, a music festival will be held every year in the future, which will be enough to attract the attention of all countries and increase the cultural communication ability of the Netherlands.

"Is it more beautiful than letting the talent seeds planted by other countries grow up and harvested by the Netherlands?

It is a pity that the largest talent pool in Europe is the United Kingdom, France, and Germany established by Prussia. When the national pride in these three places was overwhelming, the Netherlands had very few opportunities to start. "

William IV suddenly laughed, "England and Prussia are a bit difficult, but what about France?

When William I of Prussia occupied Paris in 1871 ~www.mtlnovel.com~ was a perfect opportunity.

It seems that this is enough. The scientists in Paris have other talents. Napoleon III, you can help me continue to cultivate them. I will come and take them in 6 years. "

William IV even thought greedily: "It is too safe for England to not be able to be homeland, which is not good for Holland.

The fire had to get there, and submarines were perhaps the most powerful weapon against their mighty sea power.

Only in this way can Prussia be able to compete with England.

Yes, the Netherlands can help Prussia with submarines. Let the future German Empire compete with the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands will be able to pick up talents. "

Thinking of this, William IV felt a lot more relaxed.

The United States, Britain, France, Prussia, and Tsarist Russia, as long as the war spreads among the five countries, the opportunities for the Netherlands will continue.

Taking chestnuts from fire has always been an important style of work for William IV in this war-torn era.
