Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne Chapter 517 Does the Netherlands have no colonies?

"European Times" reporter: "Your Majesty is so optimistic about the Far East?"

William IV: "It's not that they are not optimistic, but the resources there make them have this advantage, convenient water transportation, the general railway in Europe, especially Western Europe, has also been put into use one after another, and the islands of the Dutch East Indies in the north are sailing. Routes, etc. have resulted in maritime hubs, which have provided the necessary infrastructure for economic development there. In addition, a large amount of assets or a large amount of investment in the Netherlands has been transferred to help the development there. At present, it has become a hot spot for investment and construction, and it is snowballing. In general, capitals from countries such as Europe and Millikin are also beginning to be optimistic about there. While increasing immigration, it also drives an investment boom.”

Reporter: "The economy is developing so fast, and seeing your Majesty's confidence, the key is, how is the defense work there? Your Majesty should know that the world is in chaos at the moment, all countries are ambitious, and there are many ambitious people. Therefore, without sufficient strength to defend their property and citizens, governments will face the risk of their assets being seized by others.”

William IV: "At this point, the Netherlands has already been re-deployed. At present, the size of the navy of the Netherlands in the Indian Ocean and Pacific regions has surpassed that of the mainland, and the tonnage of the fleet has also exceeded that of the mainland. Portugal is similar. And the size of the army is almost the same as that of the mainland, and it is also similar to the size of the Portuguese army.”

Reporter: "That is to say, the Netherlands is currently in the Far East, whether it is the army or the navy, has used combat power to the scale of Portugal?"

William IV: "It can be considered that, after all, we have more than 6 million white and white Dutch population there. Next year, even under the guidance of policies, more children and international migrants will be born in the Netherlands, and the population will exceed 7 million. should be achievable"

Reporter: "What is the position of indigenous people?"

William IV: "The Netherlands is a country that does not exclude indigenous people, so many people who have lived in the Far East of the Netherlands can see that the indigenous people there are very docile and, of course, very Dutch. We actually It would be more appropriate to call them native Dutch"

Reporter: "Aboriginal in the Netherlands?"

William IV: "Yes, they are the Dutch,"

Reporter: "Will this arouse the dissatisfaction of the white Dutch? Your Majesty should know that the indigenous customs are different from the white Dutch."

William IV: "But they are also Protestant. Of course, more importantly, their king is me, and the object of allegiance is also me and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. At this point, it is enough"

Reporter: "There are more than 10 million indigenous people in the Far East. At present, it is said that they have been migrated to places such as Kenya, Tanzania and Congo in Africa. The Financial Times, a British newspaper, said that some people suspected that His Majesty's intentions had ulterior motives. What did His Majesty do? Look at this kind of book statement"

William IV: "There is nothing in this world that no one doubts. When you look at what others do with an alternative eye, you are actually looking at others with ulterior motives. I want to say, They have been unfair to the parties from the beginning, so I don't care about this point of view, and I don't think those in the British government will care about it, after all, the British overseas colonies have always been direct and rough-hearted, It has brought many parts of the world into a situation of war and disaster.”

Reporter: "Does Your Majesty prompt you to be dissatisfied with the British overseas colonial policy?"

William IV: "No, I'm just feeling it, more because I think there are deficiencies in the Netherlands"

reporter:"??"

William IV: "If it could, I think the Netherlands could look to England as a mirror and look for its own inadequacies"

Reporter: "Is it your so-called 'rough-brutal colonial rule policy' from the UK?"

William IV: "Haha, the Netherlands has no colonies, only territories. As long as it is where the Netherlands rules, it is the territory of the Netherlands. Just like the mainland, I am thinking about how to make the term colony in the Netherlands disappear from the territory of the Netherlands"

Reporter: "Your Majesty is really humorous"

William IV: "Why do you say that?"

Reporter: "At present, Europe and the world are flooded with the word colony. I think it is difficult to make it disappear?"

William IV: "That's why I said disappear in the Netherlands"

Reporter: "Okay. Your Majesty thinks what kind of attitude Prussia will hold towards the Netherlands at present. At present, because Prussia has annexed the countries of the German Confederation except Austria, I heard that His Majesty William I and Bismarck and other ministers have completed the integration policy and won the With so many territories and populations, Prussia's strength has increased greatly in recent years. Prussia, which had an advantage over the Netherlands, is now even more pressured on the Netherlands. In this case, what does Your Majesty think the Netherlands should hold towards Prussia? Attitude?"

William IV: "This is a good question. In my opinion, Prussia's current national strength is actually more pressure than France's pressure on the Netherlands. After all, France's consumption in the Far East has reduced France's domestic strength a lot~www.novelhall. com~ In the past few years, Prussia has been muted and engaged in fusion, and the effect is remarkable at present. Therefore, as you said just now, the strength of Prussia has soared, but Prussia has made the Netherlands feel the pressure.

However, as for the expansion of the advantage over the Netherlands, it is not necessarily true, and I do not agree with that.”

Reporter: "What does Your Majesty mean by saying that?"

William IV: "Because while Prussia is expanding, the Netherlands is also developing in the Far East. You may say how the Netherlands' 7 million Dutch and 10 million natives in the Far East can compare with the more than 50 million people after the integration of Prussia, but I The point is, it's not about population versus population, it's about the level of security integration."

reporter:"?"

William IV: "Further explained that the Far East is owned by the Netherlands itself, and the natives are actually more willing to integrate with the Dutch. But in Prussia, they forcibly integrated with the others, so the interior seems to be quiet at present, in fact, who knows whether it will be When will it rebound, I think Bismarck and others should also be concerned about this.”

Reporter: "Your Majesty is saying that there may be some existing countries in Prussia that will break free from the control of the Prussian government, and there are hidden dangers?"

William IV: "It is not possible, but it must exist. No one likes his country to be destroyed and then ruled by others. I think the whole world is the same in this regard."

Reporter: "The Netherlands is not worried about Prussia because of this?"

William IV: "No, on the contrary, I am more worried about the situation in the Netherlands"

Reporter: "It's not because of Prussia's internal integration that the threat has become smaller, why are you more worried?"+Add bookmark+
