Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Former Prime Minister Gerrit Simopanek, who also belongs to the Dutch liberals, was appointed as a senior official in Western Australia.

Justin von der Bruggen is a Christian. He is a senior official in the Province of Northern Australia. In addition to the already arranged economic development direction, his mission also requires Bruggen to assist missionaries in promoting Protestant Christianity to the indigenous people. He was also a capable assistant to William IV who wanted to use his connections in Christianity to transform the indigenous beliefs of the Far East by enhancing the recognition of the people of the Netherlands.

Jacob Deze is a liberal former prime minister of the Netherlands. He was appointed by William IV as a senior official in Queensland Province and devoted all his efforts to developing agriculture and ensuring the food and food processing industry in the Far East.

In order to maintain balance, the Christian former Prime Minister Jacob von Louislen was placed as a senior official in the New Wales Province between Queensland and William Province (formerly Victoria), and devoted himself to the development of financial industry and manufacturing business, Australia Sydney, the largest city on the mainland, is the capital of the province.

The conservative and Christian former Prime Minister Jane Jacob Rocusson became a senior official in the Province of South Australia, developing the military industry and shipbuilding industry.

He is the staunchest supporter of the Dutch Far East Arms Company. Adelaide, the capital of the province of South Australia under his jurisdiction, is the headquarters of the company.

On the other hand, liberal staunch former Prime Minister Hertor von Hemstra was responsible for the jurisdiction of New Guinea, the Maluku Islands, the South Pacific Islands and the Hawaiian Islands, and the Paradise Peninsula of New Guinea. It was the weapons manufacturing headquarters of the Dutch East India Company in the Far East.

Simscock, the former Governor-General of East India who had no party affiliation, was appointed as a senior official in the East Indies by William IV.

Everything needs balance, and William IV naturally understands this truth better. In fact, seriously speaking, the company was also the product he used to check and balance the Dutch East India Company. After all, many people there were still unconvinced by him, so these In the past few years, he has secretly supported the development of the Dutch Far East Arms Company. Everyone in the Dutch East India Company knows this.

After Holland was recruited by the Far East Arms Company of the Netherlands, from 1865 to 1867, in the three years of the Far East Arms Group, with the investment of sufficient funds and technology, Holland succeeded. On November 17, 1867, he finally served as the Far East Arms Group. The weapons company developed and built the "Holland-VI" submarine named after him.

The submarine is 15 meters long and equipped with a 331 million (approximately 45 horsepower) gasoline engine and a battery-powered electric motor. It is the latest submarine using dual propulsion. When sailing on the water, it is powered by a gasoline engine, with a speed of up to 7 nautical miles per hour and a endurance of 1,000 nautical miles. When submersing underwater, it uses electric motors as power, with a speed of up to 5 nautical miles per hour and a endurance of 50 nautical miles.

The submarine has a total of 5 crew members, and its weapons are a submarine bow launch tube with a total of 3 torpedoes and 2 artillery pieces, one forward and one aft.

Artillery aiming relies on manipulating the submarine hull to aim at the target. The submarine can launch torpedoes underwater, has balanced navigation on the water, dives quickly, and is maneuverable.

Admiralty Minister Jan Peter sighed: "It is said that the next-generation submarine 'Diver' of the Far East Arms Company led by Holland sailed from Adelaide, South Australia to Sydney, New Wales, relying solely on its own power. port, becoming the Far East Arms Company's first submarine to sail on the high seas.

The boat is driven forward by a 22 kilowatt (30 horsepower) gasoline engine whether it is sailing underwater or on the water. Since the gasoline engine requires air to work, Lake is equipped with a suction pipe that can extend out of the water. and smoke exhaust pipes, while canceling the solid ballast and using ballast water tanks to drive the submarine up and down. In order to improve the seaworthiness of the submarine, Holland also covered the suction pipe and smoke exhaust pipe with a shell to make the submarine The submarine has a second shell. The modified Submariner is more stable in both floating and sinking. It can extend the snorkel used when the internal combustion engine works underwater at an appropriate depth, thereby extending the length of the submarine underwater. Residence time. "

William IV suddenly asked: "I remember that the submarine "Grit" invented by Gerrit de Vries of the Dutch East India Company used a diesel engine-electric motor dual propulsion system, with a surface speed of 10-15 knots. The speed reaches 6-8 knots, the endurance is 500 nautical miles, and the main weapons are artillery, mines and torpedoes?"

It seems that Your Majesty still favors the Dutch East India Company this time?

However, as soon as Admiral Jan Peter nodded and thought so, William IV's words shocked him.

"Although it seems that the dual thrust system of diesel engine and electric motor is better, the Netherlands cannot have a monopoly. Therefore, you can place an order with the Dutch Far East Arms Company. Well, let's try ordering in units of 10 ships."

William IV looked at the astonished expressions of several people and said with a smile: "You should know that I always like to support the weak."

William IV's words seemed to have profound meaning. Even Prime Minister Tolbeck frowned. Could it be that His Majesty wants to support Christians in the next Dutch general election?

William IV looked at a few people thoughtfully, but did not say anything.

On August 28, 1868, President Andrew Johnson stated in Washington that the Commonwealth of America was committed to defending its democratic principles and values. As a sovereign and independent country, the Commonwealth of America could freely They decide to develop economic and cultural relations with those countries or regions. The Federal Republic of America will not allow other countries to tell them how to interact with other countries. The Federal Republic of America does not need such a master.

In this regard, Russell, Foreign Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in London, said on August 29 that the Commonwealth of America said that the country would defend its own principles and values ​​and at the same time defend its own interests. “If the Commonwealth of America can do it, then the United Kingdom can of course do it too.” The United Kingdom should be more resolute in defending its own interests, especially when it comes to the Commonwealth of America, where President Andrew is located. Not long ago, it occupied the British Overseas North American Canadian Territory of British Columbia, and the British core interests of territorial sovereignty were violated. , we need to express our dissatisfaction”

In this regard, President Andrew Johnson said, “It must be pointed out that the Commonwealth of America is trying to change the pillars and concepts, and disguise the provocation of the principle of the Commonwealth of America as a defense of the so-called core interests of the British Empire, so that it wants to interfere. If you argue about the internal affairs of the American Federation, you can only deceive yourself and others."

President Andrew said that the Commonwealth of America is very wary of the United Kingdom. We will not allow European forces to easily interfere in the domestic affairs of the Commonwealth of America. We do not want forces from Europe to interfere in our country, whether blatantly or covertly."

Many people are baffled by the sudden diplomatic collision between the United Kingdom and the United States. Wasn't it calm before?

Only a few people know this because it is related to recent reports that the British government supports the Rothschild family in expanding their power in the Commonwealth of America. Obviously, President Andrew is warning the UK not to act rashly. At the same time, he is also vaguely warning other countries not to follow suit and interfere in US affairs.
