Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

In fact, if Adelaide is just the deputy capital of Australia, it is actually the most suitable. Because of its geographical location, when the East-West Railway is built, it will become the east-west transportation center, and because the Victoria Desert and the Victoria Desert stand from south to north in the west. The Gibson Desert, the Great Sandy Desert, and the Simpson Desert to the east.

Therefore, the most convenient passage to the north of Australia is the area between the deserts on both sides, and the northern part of Adelaide, which is in the center of the south, is just in the center of the southern coast between the two deserts. From here, pass through Lea Creek , Mali, Nilpinna, Oudnadatta, Pedka, this is already the northernmost point of South Australia. Across it is the MacDonnell Ranges of Northern Australia, and you will reach Ellis, the central hub of central Australia. springs.

After arriving here, continue north to reach the Darwin route, to the east is north-central Queensland, and to the west is northern Western Australia. Therefore, Alice Springs is also known as the most central city in Australia.

Therefore this is also the shortest route to Darwin in the north.

This railway has also become the most important safety strategic railway in William IV's plan, in addition to the three economic railways in the south that cross the east and west railways, and the east and west railways that run through the south and north.

Because of its route, from Adelaide to Darwin in the north, and from Darwin through the Timor Sea in the west, it is the most equidistant route to the east and west of East India.

Whether it is Australia supporting the East Indies when something happens in the East Indies, or South Australia supporting the East Indies when something happens, it will be the most convenient, time-consuming and safest route.

Therefore, the completion of this railway was definitely the most important key measure for the Netherlands to move southward from East India, which it had firmly grasped, to Australia.

With it, the Dutch will definitely save more than 10 years of real rule in Australia.

With it, Australia is divided into east and west halves, and it is also possible to penetrate into the inner part of the core.

As long as the Dutch population base is sufficient, they can slowly migrate along the way and turn small villages into small towns and cities.

Even in William IV's plan, Alice Springs was to be built into a central central city, where airships, airplanes, etc. that would appear in the future could settle there and become an aerospace industry base.

Adelaide in the province of South Australia mainly has manufacturing, military industry manufacturing and R\u0026D centers and the automobile industry center that will appear later. It is also the largest naval construction base in Australia.

In the future, it will exceed the naval base of Paradise Island in terms of scale.

Perth, Western Australia, is the national center of the mining industry, alchemy industry, materials research and development, metal processing and other industries.

Darwin in Northern Australia is home to the mining industry, oil and gas industry, oil refining industry, regional business center, naval construction industry and freighter construction industry.

Bruce Ban, Queensland Province, is mainly focused on building industry and commerce, education industry, light industry, and building a food processing industry center relying on a large amount of cultivated food.

Sydney, New Wales, has been built as a trade, financial, and education center and a national commercial center.

Melbourne, the deputy capital of William Province, will be built into the largest urban center in the country, with industries such as heavy machinery, textiles, papermaking, chemicals and metal processing, and other industries such as automobiles, textiles and food industries that will appear in the future.

Stock exchange, financial center, high-tech R\u0026D center.

The city of Hobart in the southern province of Tasmania is engaged in metal forging, steel casting, paper making, textile fertilizers, wood and meat processing, fruit processing, etc. At the same time, it will also be one of Australia's commercial shipyards.

When he first arrived in Melbourne, William IV moved into the former British Governor's Palace, now the temporary Dutch royal palace.

Here, he met Undersecretary of the Navy Theo von Linden, who was in charge of the Far East Navy, and Governor Jane Simscock. With the arrival of these two people, William IV is now surrounded by Director of International Intelligence Mackay Sean, Minister of Industry Wem Cote, Minister of Education Lud Bales, First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Venus, Finance Minister Tom

Admiral of the Navy Jan. Peter, Deputy Admiral of the Navy. Theo. von Linden.

Army Chief of Staff Jopp Il.

Jane Simscock, Governor-General of East India.

Covering almost all Dutch functional departments.

However, several people appeared in the middle, which shocked everyone, because the people who appeared were all the former Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

The former Dutch prime minister, the liberal Gerrit Simopannick, served for only three months from March to May 1848.

Jacob De from November 1848 to November 1849.

Flos Arran von Hall from April 1853 to July 1856 (the second term was from February 1860 to March 1861).

Justin von der Bruggen from July 1856 to March 1858.

Jacob von and Louis Lun from March 1861 to November 1861.

Jane Jacob Rocusson, February 1858-March 1862.

Hertor von Hemstra, November 1861-February 1862

After calculation, except for the current Prime Minister Johann Rudolf Torbay, all the Prime Ministers appointed in the Netherlands in 1848 have gathered here.

These are all influential figures in the Netherlands in the past. Therefore, even the senior Dutch government officials who hold great power today have chosen to keep a low profile. After all, many of them were supported by these former prime ministers.

Among these former prime ministers, except for Bruggen, who is a Christian, the others are all liberals.

"Everyone, I don't need to introduce these. Everyone is familiar with this. This is our former prime minister of the Netherlands."

After William IV and others sat down, Mr. After a brief introduction, he also introduced the new Privy Council team to several prime ministers.

"The old prime ministers are all hard-working and meritorious people for the Netherlands. I shouldn't bother them anymore. However, the development of the Netherlands is now entering a critical period, especially in the Far East where hundreds of industries are waiting to flourish. Why not fight for it?

If the Netherlands wants to further rise in international status, it must clench its fists and not waste any energy. Only then can the Netherlands be revived, regain its former glory as a coachman in the world, and even participate in the world's struggle for hegemony.

The Netherlands does not have much time to let others wait for us to change and develop slowly. On the contrary, we should far surpass other countries in terms of development speed. "

William IV pointed at Director of International Intelligence Mackay Sean, Minister of Industry Wem Cotter, Minister of Education Lud Bales, First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Venus, Deputy Minister of Finance Tom, and Minister of the Navy Jan Peter. , Under-Secretary of the Navy Theo von Linden, Chief of Army Staff Jop Ill, Governor-General of East India Jane Simscock.

He said to these former prime ministers: "These are the team members I deployed in the Far East, and they are also the members of the Privy Council where we are now."

The person William IV was looking at pointed at several prime ministers and said: "Everyone, these are the candidates for high-ranking Australian officials that I had prepared when I was in my hometown."

Except for the seven former prime ministers, everyone else showed their colors. Obviously, they did not expect William IV to arrange this.

Except for the current Prime Minister John Rudolf Tolbeck, all the Prime Ministers successfully elected after 1848 are here. The seven former Prime Ministers correspond to the seven provinces of Australia. How come they are so accurate? Is it arranged by God?
