Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

The reason why Chilean President Arturo Lauzon in South America was so respectful to Martinas in front of him was naturally because of the terrible record of the Dutch Deputy Minister of Army in front of him.

The other party had lost nearly 100,000 British troops and Boer leaders in South Africa, and it had done so by mobilizing nearly 200,000 British troops and dozens of naval warships to block South Africa's sea lanes.

He is a strong man who shocked the world

It was precisely because of this battle that the British army's weaknesses were completely exposed, and at the same time it also greatly damaged the prestige that Britain had established over the past hundred years.

It can be said that Martinas in front of him has done something that many careerists in other countries around the world cannot do, and has greatly vented the anger of the people who were suppressed and bombarded by the British.

Facing Martinas in front of him, who dares to take it lightly. And now that Chile is facing an intervention war with Britain, Martinas is the most powerful supporter of Chile. Arturo Lauzon is naturally willing to give him enough respect.

As for the other people, Arturo Lauzon was much more calm. They were generals at the deputy minister level of the military from the four neighboring countries: Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, and Bolivia. This time, each country led 10,000 people to follow Ma. Tinas's 10,000 Dutch troops and a total of 50,000 coalition troops arrived in Santiago, which was of great help to Chile. However, the arrival of these four armies in Santiago made it difficult for Arturo Lauzon to let down his guard.

After all, if a close neighbor sends troops to support his country, then his own land will be exposed to the iron heel of the other party. If the other party suddenly becomes evil, then Chile will also face the fate of being invaded. However, when he saw the extremely calm next to him, When I came to Martinas, I felt a little relieved.

After all, with the existence of this Dutch god of death, they would not even dare to think about it. After all, the formation of the five-nation coalition is a joint mutual defense of the five-nation armies initiated by the Netherlands. It has happened several times in the world. The world is very concerned about this. If the other four countries add insult to injury to Chile, then the Netherlands will definitely be slapped in the face. And the Netherlands is currently in the middle of its rise, and the most important thing is face and dignity. Then it will definitely become angry. At that time, these four countries will not be able to do so. Eat the good fruit.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh. At present, the Netherlands has dominated the Pacific Ocean unstoppably, and Chile is located in the southeastern part of the Pacific Ocean. Its narrow coastline faces the Netherlands' South Pacific Islands and Australia and New Zealand across the Pacific Ocean. If you take Chile's coastline, it will be It meant that the Netherlands had absolute control over the entire South Pacific region.

Together with Peru, Ecuador and Colombia to the north, the Netherlands wraps up the South Pacific.

Martinas glanced at a few people and said: We frankly put forward our Dutch idea, that is, the five-nation coalition formed by the Netherlands is headed by the Dutch navy to establish a defense line around the Pacific and establish a peaceful and prosperous ocean. .

"Our Majesty William has created a plan, which is to combine the capital and technology of the Netherlands, implement this common security line of defense, and fully help countries develop their economies. If everything can meet expectations, then in the future It may not be impossible for our countries around the South Pacific to build this area into the next prosperous area on both sides of the Atlantic and build a sea of ​​prosperity."

The Netherlands actually wants to establish the South Pacific as a new two sides of the Atlantic.

Such an idea makes people excited just thinking about it.

Seeing the excited expressions of several people, Martinas continued to confuse: "If it succeeds, then you can imagine that Colombia will never be weaker than the German Empire, and Ecuador, with its location advantage, can even become the new Denmark. Or Portugal, and Bolivia, look at Hungary on the map and it looks very similar to Bolivia now, right?

As for Peru, I think it is very similar to France, yes, more like France. As for Chile, I think if it develops properly, it would be good to be a replica of Spain."

As Martinas continued to speak, several people's eyes suddenly became clear.

If they really want their country to develop into what Martinas said, not to mention becoming the real British, French, German and Western countries, even if it only reaches half of theirs, no, as long as it is one-third, it will be enough for them. Become the greatest chief in the country and your position will be more secure.

So now, although they still can't believe that they will reach that point, it does not prevent them from thinking about how much benefits they can get for themselves and their family from this process. Of course, on the surface, it is for the development of the country and for the Netherlands. A biased mentality.

Arturo Lauzon then asked: "How does the Netherlands help develop the economies of various countries? You must know that Europe has developed after several centuries, especially the coal economy and steam industrial revolution launched by Britain in the last century. Now here On the one hand, it is difficult to achieve such a foundation.”

When Arturo finished speaking, several people from other countries also sighed. Obviously, the excitement just now was suppressed by Arturo Lauzon in just a short while, as if he was helpless in the face of reality.

Martinas smiled and said: "Don't be pessimistic, everyone. Your Excellency the President has said that Europe developed mainly because of the British Industrial Steam Revolution.

Now is there an opportunity before you? "

what chance?

Several people couldn't help but look at Martinas.

Martinas said: "The Netherlands is currently fully promoting the advent of the Southern Electric Age. It can also be the industrial revolution driven by British steam. The electrical age will also cause the same industrial revolution.

As you all know, the Netherlands is developing rapidly every day, especially the emergence of new inventions, such as the electric light, telegraph, telephone, and just now I know that the Netherlands is planning to promote the establishment of power stations across the country. As long as they are connected, the future will be The Netherlands is the leader in the electric generation.

And now the Netherlands is closely followed by the German Empire and the Federal Republic of America. The strength of these two countries must be very familiar to you, especially the Federal Republic of America in the north, which has relied on the steam era in recent years. Reform to the transitional development of the electric generation, now America has become the fourth industrial country, and the German Empire has also become the third, second only to the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, both of which have successively surpassed the north and south of the French Empire."

Arturo Lauzon and others were immediately moved when they heard this.

Martinas took the opportunity to make a further statement: "Don't forget, the reason why Argentina is so prosperous now is that, in addition to their food, they also developed with the technology provided by the Netherlands."

Arturo Lauzon asked: "I wonder what the Netherlands wants?"

Frank questions are always uncomfortable, but they feel more real.

Obviously, the president's questions ask everyone's psychology. The people who answer are more direct and the people who listen are more at ease.

Martinas gave him a serious look, but the other party did not flinch. Martinas secretly praised him and replied frankly: "The combined population of our five countries is 10.2 million people. This is a huge market. "The population of the Netherlands is a disadvantage compared with other big countries, so your five countries will be the future product markets of the Netherlands. I don’t know if I am satisfied with this answer."
