Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

When Israel was founded in 1948, the white Jewish population was only about 800,000, and the Arab population was only 900,000.

It is now 1869, 79 years away from 1948, and William IV clearly remembers that in 2021, the 74th anniversary of the founding of the country, the population of Israel is 9.32 million, and Jews account for 74.4%, which means that Israel In the 74th year since the founding of the People's Republic of Israel, the total population has increased 11 times. Moreover, the Jews firmly occupy the status of the dominant nation.

This is why William IV never worried about the current small population of the Netherlands and that the Dutch population would become a disadvantage in the global hegemony in the 20th century.

The Netherlands also currently has many immigrants around the world. Compared with Israel in the future, the Netherlands is now a country with a white population of 13 million, while the indigenous people of the Far East and Africa have 20 million.

The number of Dutch people is about to reach 12 million. Eight years of encouragement of childbirth and return immigration of Dutch people from abroad have reshaped the population structure of the Netherlands.

According to the information currently available to William IV, there are currently more than 2.6 million Dutch people "wandering" around the world, including more than 1.5 million in the Commonwealth of America. These immigrants began living in North America as early as the 17th century, and are older than the British. The French and the French settled in North America early and were among the earliest developers of white Europeans in North America.

So that part of the population is deeply ingrained there.

There are 1.5 million Dutch people in the Commonwealth of America, the third largest population after Germans and Irish people. There are also many Dutch people in the UK. In the Kingdom of Prussia, which unified the German Confederation, as well as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Russian Empire and France, the population accounted for more than 1 million of the remaining 1.1 million people.

These Dutch people are very important to the population growth of the Netherlands. Don't forget that Dutch people will not just marry people of the same descent. The heirs of Dutch blood will spread rapidly like ink falling into water.

In William IV's mind, the Jews were the role models of Dutch descent.

And having this role model in hand will give you the power to make a comeback in the face of major European and American powers.

William IV never considered himself a benevolent man. If that were the case, it would be an absolute disaster for the Netherlands. He is just a king who wants to live a safe and prosperous life for his family and the country under his rule. He only seeks the best treatment in the world for those who believe in him and are loyal to him. That's all.

Emond James Rothschild was indeed embarrassed when faced with William IV's prediction of the Jewish state's population in the early stages of its establishment.

Fortunately, he has gone through a lot of battles with his father James.

"About 300,000," Emond replied uncertainly.

William IV: "Well, even if 300,000 Jews establish the country, I think the 780 square kilometers of Bahrain Islands are enough to accommodate your Jewish citizens."

Emond: "Having said that, it is impossible that the potential of this new country's territory will be fully realized just after the establishment of the country. Think about the Kingdom of the Netherlands with a population of 13 million and a territory of more than 17 million square kilometers. One person exceeds 1.3 square kilometers. Per capita, the Jewish state has a population of 300,000 and has 780 square kilometers. 400 people have one square kilometer. This gap is really huge."

Sure enough, the fish took the bait.

After William IV hesitated for a while, he said: "There is nothing we can do about it. You know, it is outside the Kingdom of Persia. The north belongs to the Ottoman Empire. Although the western continent is under the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire cannot govern it. , which is why the Ottoman Empire was willing to resell it.”

Seeing that Emond was still unhappy about this, William IV said: "The Kingdom of Hejaz (the south except the coast of present-day Saudi Arabia) and the Kingdom of Najd (the north except the coast of present-day Saudi Arabia) on the western Arabian continent are not very powerful. , Don’t you think that the new Jewish state needs the help of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to expand its territory?”

Edmund choked up in his throat, and finally had to admit that William IV was right.

Since the Jewish state wants to establish a nation, how can one country's defense be handed over to another country? What's more, how can the expansion of territory be done by others?

"Although King Abdul Rahman of Najd has some abilities, he is currently facing difficulties."

Seeing that Edmond was listening carefully with his ears pricked up, William IV said: "Although he is the largest force in the Kingdom of Najd, he faces the leader of the largest force in the southern Kingdom of Hijaz, Mohammed bin Rashi. The threat of Germany. The two occupy the inland areas of the Arabian Peninsula, one to the north and the other to the south, to check and balance each other."

Edmund is naturally a smart man, and he knows everything clearly.

"Your Majesty wants to say that the Bahrain Islands are too small, so we can attack these two people?"

William IV nodded and said: "Yes, there are more than one million Jews in the world, and you Jews are famous for being smart people around the world. I don't think that the small Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Hejaz are more affected by the two major forces. Under the oppression of the Ottoman Empire, you can't expand even three points."

Edmond seemed to be persuaded by William IV. Also, the total population of the indigenous people in those two places was only a few million people, and the two people mentioned just now had a population of about one million under their respective jurisdiction.

In the face of the vast connections and routes of the Jews in Europe, it seems that expanding the territory is not difficult, but what needs to be taken into account is the Ottoman Empire in the north.

and the Persian Empire across the eastern Persian Gulf.

Thinking along the lines of William IV, Emond admitted that Bahrain was actually a unique place for the establishment of the Jewish state.

Suddenly, the look towards William IV became more pleasing to the eye.

After noticing the change in Emond and knowing that this was definitely the case, the rest was their deal between the Netherlands and Prussia.

However, he was confident that Prussia would agree, because Bismarck and the others were already ready to attack.

However, before trading with Prussia, he let Edmund in front of him know the purpose of his being called.

On May 1, 1869, in Sydney, the second largest city in the Far East of the Kingdom of the Netherlands after Jakarta and the largest city on the Australian continent, a meeting was held at the headquarters of the International Labor Federation (referred to as the International Labor Federation). The director general of the organization, the Netherlands Social reform thinker Henry Daly and two deputy directors-general of the organization, Edward Bellas and Henry Lloyd, met with the heads of branches of all labor unions around the world in Sydney. Everyone unanimously agreed to formally establish the annual May 1st is Labor Day, also known as "May 1st Labor Day"

On the same day, the Governor of New Wales, Jacob von Louilen, and the Deputy Prime Minister of the Far East and Governor of William Province (formerly Victoria) Flos Arran von Hall jointly attended the meeting to express their support for the organization.

At the conference, a celebration message handwritten by William IV was read out.

In the letter, William IV praised the organization's achievements and also affirmed it.

He also stated that the Netherlands will be more cooperative with the organization's future plans in the future. At the same time, William also announced that the Netherlands will expand the legal immigration of global skilled labor to the Far East of the Netherlands, so that international immigrants who have immigrated to the Far East of the Netherlands through legal procedures will enjoy the same benefits as Dutch nationals. In his letter, William IV called on Dutch businesses and the Dutch not to discriminate against any new immigrants.

"Because these are the additional labors of the Netherlands in the future. I also call on other countries around the world to increase their national income so that people of all countries can live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy peace forever."

In the letter, the last paragraph of William IV attracted the attention of many people. While William IV mentioned the improvement of indigenous rights in the Netherlands, he also criticized Britain as the most prosperous country in the world, but the Indians marched and protested but could not be properly handled. He and the Kingdom of the Netherlands were very disappointed. For this reason, William IV called on Queen Victoria and Disraeli's British cabinet government to respond to the Indians' demands and appease their troubled hearts.

Perhaps it was because William IV's appearance had such great influence.

On May 2, 1869, the Kingdoms of Sweden and Denmark, the traditional allies of the Netherlands, had not yet responded. The Kingdom of Prussia, which had always had some opinions about the Netherlands in North America, jumped out to support William IV's call.

Bismarck told the European Times, "The British approach is not very authentic. As the earliest indigenous people in Canada, the Indians should receive some material compensation without posing a threat to British rule. Even if the British are too shabby, they can We should not extract their labor power without paying them, I think this is very unbelievable in Europe, even though there is a saying in Europe that capitalists have no conscience.”

"I think that if the UK does not make proper arrangements in Canada, it may trigger a series of group effects in other parts of the UK. This is unavoidable. I think William IV's statement is correct."

Prussia was the first to support the Netherlands in condemning the British?

The international community was taken aback.

Especially the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the frightened Belgium were even more confused. Even the French Empire of Napoleon III, many people couldn't believe it.

As if to react, Sweden and Denmark also joined in calling on the British to improve the conditions of the Indians, and joined in condemning the British practice of not paying the Indians labor wages.

Perhaps because of the idea that the law does not punish the public, countries in South America have joined in.

Argentine President Mitre: "No one would think that they work seriously and diligently for others, and in the end they don't get paid. I think this is a shameful behavior. As a responsible member of the Americas, we in Argentina, Asking the UK to explain this"

Venezuelan President Herrera: "Venezuela supports the indigenous Indians, and we don't think the UK will just do it hastily and be done with it."

Emperor Pedro II of Brazil: "As a major country in the Americas, Brazil calls on the United Kingdom to consider the sentiments of the indigenous Americans."

Fonseca, Prime Minister of the Brazilian Empire, who is not dealing with King Pedro II, is more frank: "Britain is an exploiter. I think Brazil can have a similar position to the Federal Republic of America and the Netherlands."

At this point in the incident, Crown Prince Edward caused dissatisfaction among the Dutch natives, and finally the fire spread to the British themselves in less than a month. Everyone was watching with a sarcastic smile how the British would end.
