Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne Chapter 417

"The Netherlands is increasing its own strength. If it is successfully realized, the population size of the Netherlands will become unprecedentedly large, and the shortage of labor force in the Netherlands will be filled quickly, which will be an unprecedented boost to the industrial strength of the Netherlands."

The Crown Prince Frederick of the Kingdom of Prussia was extremely worried: "The advantage of Prussia over the Netherlands lies in the fact that Prussia has a population of more than 30 million, and now the Netherlands is supplemented by 20 million people, and now tens of thousands every year due to European wars The policy promotion of European immigration to the Netherlands and the Far East. This is a lot of help for the growth of the strength of the Netherlands. Comparatively speaking, it is also the advantage of Prussia that is being removed bit by bit. We need to make rapid integration with other parts of the German Confederation. Able to complete the further improvement of Prussia's strength"

Prince Frederick's words are not bad. Prussia has annexed the German Confederation with a population of more than 20 million. If it is completed, the population of more than 50 million will almost catch up with the population of Tsarist Russia, which is 60 million, and it will be the second largest population in Europe. The Prussian economy is naturally an even greater advantage.

Thinking of this, Crown Prince Frederick said to Bismarck: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think the Dutch policy can't be used in Prussia."

What he means is that the integration policy of the Netherlands can be used to deal with the natives, so the people of the German Confederation, who are also white, will obviously have more integration advantages for Prussia, and it may be more convenient.

Mao Qi didn't wait for Bismarck to answer, but he nodded unexpectedly, and said, "It's not bad for the crown prince to say that. Originally, we people of the German Confederation would naturally not be troublesome to integrate. Besides, we are almost all Protestants and Germanic people, these are the advantages that the Dutch fusion natives are difficult to have”

After speaking, Mo Qi looked at Bismarck and said with a smile: "I really can't see how the Netherlands can compare with us in terms of convenience and profit."

At this time, even William I agreed.

Bismarck said: "What can I say, but William IV naturally saw this, but the Netherlands really did this, obviously the purpose is not pure."

"What does the Prime Minister mean?" Frederick asked in confusion.

Bismarck: "The Netherlands' ambitions are even greater, perhaps integrating African natives, Asian and South American natives, and becoming the common hegemon of the entire Indo-Pacific Ocean. That is the ultimate goal of William IV and the Netherlands. I have a copy of Asia and America here. Population migration to Australia and the Dutch East Indies and other Pacific Islands data, please see”

Bismarck's words shocked everyone present, and then their eyes fell on the papers on his desk.

William I took the data that Bismarck handed over, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on it.

"In 1867, the population of this Latin American immigrant to the Far East of the Netherlands exceeded 50,000, of which 50% of the population were with higher education and secondary education, 30% were small capitalists and foreign students, and the rest were their relatives with their families."

William IV narrowed his eyes, and the amount of information in it was huge.

You must know that Latin America has not reached the level of European countries in terms of economy, and is regarded as a poor country in Europe.

In such a poor place, more than 50,000 "higher" people immigrated to the Dutch Far East. Isn't this Dutch Far East clearly harvesting leeks?

William I, as an old fox who has been active in the political arena of Ou Niu Zhou for many years, then thought of a problem, that is, with these Latin American immigrants, these places will have Dutch influence at the top level of the countries. Rich and powerful people put their relatives in the Netherlands as a kind of 'hostage'.

The Netherlands will have more influence on South America by taking this kind of 'hostage'.

The consequence is!

With the data, in addition to Latin America, Asia seems to be the same, and even many countries in Europe, especially those from northern and eastern Europe and the Balkans, have a large number of immigration data.

William I looked at Bismarck in horror.

The others looked at the data in their hands one after another.

Crown Prince Frederick was even more astonished: "The average annual population of immigrants from Latin America is 50,000, with high net worth and wealthy family backgrounds, and the same is true in all parts of Asia. There are more than 30,000 immigrants and students studying abroad every year, which is the Netherlands uniting these two countries. The aspirations of the local people provided an advantage, and the Netherlands was virtually at the center.

The immigration of Europeans is obviously that North America is no longer the only place of immigration outside of Europe. This is a competition for population immigration with the United States of America in North America, and obviously, the civil war between the North and South of the United States seems to be more serious between the Australian mainland and the Dutch East Indies. In line with the European concept of security. There are currently more than 10,000 European immigrants per year. The Netherlands, the picture is not small."

Bismarck: "The more intense the competition in Europe is, the more people are fleeing from Europe. The current war in the Balkans has made many people choose to emigrate. The cold weather in northern Europe makes it difficult to live, which is also the main reason for immigration. The shortage of population in the Netherlands, Give the Netherlands enough will to absorb immigrants.

Statistics show that the total population of Swedish and Norwegian Danish immigrants from Northern Europe to the Far East of the Netherlands since 1862 exceeded 200,000. The Balkan Peninsula war and tensions brought more than 300,000 immigrants to the Far East of the Netherlands.

This makes the Dutch Far East, in addition to its own 6 million white Dutch population, more than one million white immigrants from Europe and America.

Looking at the lines in the data, immigration in these places is still showing an upward trend. It can be seen that immigration to the Far East of the Netherlands will continue to become a normalized state for some time to come. "

Bismarck raised his head, his majestic face showed an incomparably stern face, and said, "Although the Netherlands cannot threaten Prussia in Europe, we have to be careful that he damages Prussia's interests in Africa and the Pacific and Indian Oceans."

Crown Prince Frederick was taken aback for a moment, "It seems that there are not many major interests in Africa and the Indian Ocean, right?"

Although there is a Somali colony, it is considered a barren land~www.mtlnovel.com~ However, something is better than nothing

However, Bismarck disrupted his idea with a shocking speech. He saw Bismarck saying: "We explored the Middle East together with the Netherlands some time ago. On the border between Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, our Middle East colony, the exploration teams of the two countries were not long ago. Got a big energy news"

Bismarck's words are surprising, Middle East? Exploration team?

These words were associated with each other, and William I's eyes suddenly shot a compelling light. At this moment, the majesty of the king of Prussia was revealed.

Can't wait to ask nervously: "Is the oil exploration in the Middle East yielding results?"

Oil!

Crown Prince Frederick and Chief of General Staff Mao Qi were taken aback for a moment, and then their faces showed shock.

By the way, a few years ago, the Netherlands and Prussia jointly carried out oil exploration there. At that time, they were a little bit unconvinced that the Netherlands made such a request. They also ridiculed the Netherlands for choosing to explore in a barren place rather than Africa. .

But now they actually got 'results' from Bismarck?

Oil, this is the "gold" that Prussia is trying to change Britain because after the first industrial development, to establish its own electrical industrial system, if it really exists, it will definitely be a real blessing for Prussia.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Bismarck.
