Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

There is no doubt that the industrial revolution in the Commonwealth of America has now fully started. Although many places are still dominated by traditional handicrafts, at that time, more places, especially the eastern coastal areas, had added a lot of mechanical tools.

Capitalists in New England, including New York (especially New York), and capitalists in Chicago both cooperate and compete. Many capitalists have industries in both places, and the relationship between the two parties is not so easy to distinguish. It's clear.

It is precisely because of this that external forces can more easily penetrate.

It is precisely because of this that the American federal government actually knows that various countries have agents in their country. This is not a secret, but the government has nothing to do about it, because within each cabinet government, Many of them are spokespersons for the interests of major capital tycoons.

Therefore, it is difficult for the American government to remove them, because accepting international immigrants is their founding national policy. Similarly, accepting their capital is also a policy that is difficult for the American government to shake, because this policy has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it may be infiltrated, and the bonus is Allow America to obtain Europe's advanced technology and huge capital to build itself.

In the face of the huge interests of the latter, the former does not matter. Anyway, this is a conspiracy of all parties. Even President Lincoln, who was very anti-British and opposed to the Rothschild family, had to admit that the American Commonwealth needed Capital from various countries is transferred to the United States to promote development.

Therefore, while he could only prevent Roche and the British from infiltrating, he also had to face the growing power of the Dutch in the country to suppress him. At the same time, he also deliberately led the Dutch and Prussians to hurt each other, and finally decided to sit back and take it. The benefit of fishermen.

It's a pity that the idea was good, but in the end I went to see God early.

So far, many people point to the Prussians as the murderers, but many people suspect that the Dutch are involved.

On October 5, 1868, the situation in Europe changed dramatically and it was overwhelming.

First, the Netherlands-led International Court of Justice in The Hague officially announced that the Ottoman Empire had become a new member of the organization, and the Russian Empire had become a partner of the organization.

The proximity of the two countries has caused the International Court of Justice in The Hague to once again arouse huge public opinion in the world.

Many people said that the organization's team has become so large that it occupies more than two-thirds of the world's countries. This makes the world feel for the first time how shocking it is to face a national organization.

In response, Britain, France and Prussia said they would not seek to join the organization in the near future.

Every day that the Siam War launched by France lasted, it would bring immeasurable losses to the two countries participating in the war, including the capitalists of the French Empire. The national mobilization of the French Empire also hindered these French businessmen from making money.

However, other countries that did not directly participate in the war made a lot of money.

Among them, Jakarta is even more lively.

As the largest city in Southeast Asia, Jakarta is also the region's largest trade turnover port and light industry center. The Kingdom of Siam's continuous orders for daily necessities are said to have created more than 100,000 job opportunities. This has greatly promoted local economic development.

Weapons from the Paradise Peninsula of New Guinea are also continuously sent to Bangkok. The more fierce the French attack in eastern Cambodia, the more fierce the gun battle between the Kingdom of Siam and France will be, which will allow the Dutch East India Company's weapons sales to reach new highs. , the military industry is developing more vigorously.

When a war breaks out in a neighboring country, if goods from industrially poor countries can be sent to them for sale, the economic growth rate can be increased in a short period of time.

The Chao-Xian war in the previous life resurrected the Japanese economy.

The Vietnam-Nan war made Singapore the most important turnover port for Western warships. Since then, it has become the fastest-growing developed city-state in Southeast Asia.

The war between the Kingdom of Siam and the French Empire has caused the economy of the Dutch East Indies to dramatically increase its growth rate, making the Netherlands' economic territory in the Far East more solid.

The New York Stock Exchange is located on William Street, between Beaver Street and the Trading Floor, a location that has been associated with many major speculative events.

"What, you Vanderbilt guy actually bought a stake in the Harlem Railway?"

President Andrew Johnson of the Commonwealth of America is currently in New York. In front of him, the American shipping giant Vanderbilt actually chose to go ashore to build a railway?

Although Andrew is the president of the country, he was still shocked by the news.

The Vanderbilt family started immigrating in the 17th century. At this time, they became rich in 1810, and it started when Vanderbilt was 16 years old. At that time, this guy borrowed $100 from his mother to start a business. A ferry business in New York Bay. Within a few years, his business surged, routes continued to increase, and the number of ships even quickly expanded to more than 100.

In 1861, when the Civil War began, his shipping empire was valued at $20 million.

This is a mythical figure in the Commonwealth of America. Although his wealth is not as much as that of the Randy family, and is even similar to that of the newly rising Morgan family and the Rockefeller Foundation, his history has become the object of everyone's admiration, because he It’s true that he started from scratch and created a personal legend.

The reason why President Andrew exclaimed was because of the Haarlem Railway.

Because this railway is very ordinary.

Vanderbilt was very satisfied with this.

Since the 1850s, when railways, a new form of transportation, began to become popular in America, Vanderbilt quickly realized that a new basis for making money was coming. After years of research, she found that she was sensitive to steam. The era of ship-dominated transportation is fading, and inland transportation is bound to be replaced by railways.

It is very obvious that the Netherlands and Australia are currently carrying out a large-scale construction trend in the Far East.

They actually worked hard to build criss-crossing railways across the entire continent. It is said that more than 100,000 laborers were used. You must know that Australia is surrounded by sea and shipping is very convenient. However, it is under such superior conditions that the smart Dutch They actually chose to build expensive railways on land. It can be seen that it must be profitable.

He demonstrated the feasibility of getting involved in railways by investigating some details of railway transportation, such as train consumption, speed, profit, engine power, etc. In the end, at the age of over 70, he decided to give up the shipping career that he had loved all his life. , all funds are prepared to be invested in the railway.

This meeting with President Andrew, who happened to be in New York for an inspection, sought support for this.

He told President Andrew that he was going to use Wall Street as an entry point to start buying shares of railroad companies, gain control and operating rights, and start operating railroads.

Unexpectedly, Andrew's reaction was so great. Obviously, his "career change" was really surprising.
