Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

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

The capital-capital-family in New England, including New York (especially New York), and the capital-capital-family in Chicago have both cooperation and competition. Many capitalists have properties in both places, and the relationship between the two sides is not so easy to separate. clear.

It is precisely because of this that external forces can penetrate more easily. It is precisely because of this that the federal government of Millikin knows that every country has agents in their country. This is a secret that is not a secret, but the government has nothing to do with it, because every cabinet government has a Many of them are spokespersons for the interests of major capital chaebols.

Therefore, it is difficult for the Millikin government to remove them, because it is their national policy to accept international immigrants. Similarly, accepting their capital is also a policy that Milliken cannot shake, because this policy has advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantage is the possibility of being infiltrated. The dividend is Allow Milliken to gain access to 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 is very tough against the British and the Rothschild family, has to admit that the United States of America needs Capital from various countries is transferred to the United States to promote development.

Therefore, this is precisely why he can only prevent Roche and the British from infiltrating, and at the same time, he also needs to face the growing domestic Dutch forces to suppress them. At the same time, he also deliberately guides the Dutch and Prussians to hurt each other. Fisherman's benefit.

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

So far, many people have pointed the finger at the Prussian, but many people do suspect that there is a Dutch figure in it.

On October 5, 1868, the situation in Europe took a sudden turn for the worse.

First, the International Court of Justice in The Hague, led by the Netherlands, officially announced the Ottoman Empire as a member of the organization, and the Russian Empire as a partner country of the organization.

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

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

In this regard, the three countries of Britain, France and Prussia said they would not seek the idea of ​​joining the organization in the near future.

Every day that the Siam War launched by France continued, it would bring immeasurable losses to the two countries involved in the war, including the capitalists of the French Empire. The national mobilization of the French Empire also prevented 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, light industry center, and the steady stream of daily necessities orders from the Kingdom of Siam is said to have increased employment opportunities for more than 100,000 people. This has greatly promoted the local economic development.

And New Guinea's Bliss Peninsula weapons are also continuously sent to Bangkok. The more violent the French attack in eastern Cambodia, and the more fierce the gun battle between the Kingdom of Siam and France, will make the Dutch East India Company's weapons sales hit record highs. , the military industry is developing more vigorously.

If there is a war in the neighboring country, if the commodities of the poor industrial countries can be sent to the past for sale, the economic growth rate can be increased in a short period of time.

The war in the previous life brought the Japanese-ben economy back to life.

The Vietnam-nan-War made Singapore-Singapore-Poland the most important turnaround port for Western warships, and 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 increase its growth rate sharply, making the Dutch economic map in the Far East more solid.

The New York Stock Exchange is located on William Street, between Beaver Street and the trading floor, a place reminiscent of a number of major speculations.

"What, Vanderbilt, you got a stake in the Harlem Railroad?"

Andrew Johnson, the president of the Commonwealth of Millikin, received a telegram from New York. That Millikin shipping giant Vanderbilt actually chose to go ashore to repair the railroad?

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

This Vanderbilt guy, whose family started with immigrants in the 17th century, got rich in 1810, and it started when Vanderbilt was 16, when the guy borrowed $100 from his mother to start a business. A New York Bay ferry business, within a few years, his business has soared, the number of routes has continued to increase, and the number of ships has even expanded to more than 100.

At the start of the Civil War in 1861, his shipping empire was estimated to be worth $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, he is even similar to the newly emerging Morgan family and Rockefeller consortium~www.readwn.com~ But his history becomes everyone The person to look up to, because he really created a personal legend from scratch.

The reason why President Andrew exclaimed was the Haarlem Railway.

Because this railway is very ordinary.

In this regard, Vanderbilt is very satisfied.

From the 1850s, when the railroad, a new form of transportation, began to be popularized in Michigan, Vanderbilt quickly realized that a new money-making basis was coming. After years of research, she was sensitive to the feeling of steam. The era of ship-dominated transportation is waning, and inland transportation is bound to be replaced by railways.

It is very obvious that Holland Australia, which is now in the Far East, is carrying out a large-scale construction trend. It is actually hard to build a criss-crossed railway on the whole large land. It is said that the labor force used exceeds 100,000 people. You must know that Australia is surrounded by sea and shipping is very convenient, but it is under such favorable conditions that the clever Dutch It can be seen that it must be profitable to choose to build an expensive railway on land.

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 more than 70 years old, he decided to give up the shipping career that he had loved all his life. , and put all the funds into the railway.

And this time, President Andrew, who happened to be in New York for inspection, even sought support for this.

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

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