Chapter 993 The Dragon Crossing the River Returns from Belgium

On October 1881, 10, the Democratic-Democratic government of President Stephen of the United States continued its anti-Dutch policy and took punitive measures against the Qing Dynasty's diplomatic bias in favor of the Netherlands. The Washington Congress passed the Anti-Qing Dynasty Act. In terms of immigration, strict restrictions were imposed on Qing workers.

On October 1881, 10, a reporter from Shanghai, where the foreign concessions in the southeast of the Qing Dynasty were located, sent a news telegram from Zhili to Shanghai, becoming the first news telegram in the Qing Dynasty.

On October 1881, 10, the Dutch East India Company opened a manual telephone exchange in Shanghai.

On October 1881, 10, the Netherlands opened the Sydney Wildlife Park in the Far East, becoming the earliest wildlife park in the Far East.

On October 1881, 10, the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Koryo signed the unequal treaty "Koryeo-Dutch Reconciliation Treaty", and the Netherlands became the second protectorate of the Kingdom of Koryo after the Qing Dynasty.

On October 1881, 10, the Privy Council continued to meet in Melbourne, Australia.

“Second, Mexico purchased a large number of Dutch weapons and completely replaced the old weapons provided by the United States and other countries.

Third, the Netherlands forced Mexico to choose the Netherlands as its most important ally between the Netherlands and the United States. It used the Thirteen-Nation Alliance to completely lock in the possibility of Mexico asking for aid from the United States, Brazil, the United Kingdom and other countries, and perfectly strangled the U.S. dollar and other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. The possibility of expansion of European currencies such as the pound in Mexico.

Fourth, at the same time, the Mexican military and politics are open to the Netherlands, who can penetrate the country to participate more thoroughly and openly.

Fifth, the Dutch industry relies heavily on resources and markets. Now Mexico has become the back garden of Dutch capital, and Mexico has become a member of the raw material supply chain of the Dutch industry.Stabilizing the Netherlands' global supply chain and market will make it more structurally and long-term stable.

Sixth, it contributes to the outlook for the exchange rate of the Dutch guilder.

Seventh, Latin American countries and other countries around the world will scramble to require the Netherlands to provide security protection because of its leading role.

Finally, regarding the prospect of the pound exchange rate, there are two groups that are optimistic and bearish. I think both have certain reasons. However, if we analyze it from a geopolitical perspective, we in the Netherlands will naturally not be happy to see a strong and independent Europe that is on good terms with the United Kingdom. appear, so the Netherlands will not see the krona and US dollar franc becoming stronger to challenge the status of the Dutch guilder and pound.

Therefore, the weakening of the exchange rate of the pound against the Dutch guilder is not only an economic issue, but also a political issue.However, the main reason for the weakness of the pound in the future will still be the lack of comprehensive economic and political strength in the UK. Now the pound's share of foreign exchange reserves and foreign exchange markets in various countries has been declining since 1876. Currently, the global OECD has made special remarks The Dutch guilder is suitable for buying, and the British pound is bearish. Obviously, this organization is also helping the Netherlands to increase the foreign exchange reserves of other countries and the weight of national reserve currencies. Among them, the Dutch guilder and the German krona have increased, the US dollar has been equal, and the weights of the British pound and the franc have been adjusted. Fall and become a weather vane. "

The person who just spoke was Senator Sackem, director of the Dutch Financial Commission and chairman of the Dutch Federal Reserve Bank.

William IV: "Sackham and Jules, please contact the Rothschild family. I hope the Rothschild family will secretly assist the Dutch guilder in becoming a global reserve currency as soon as possible."

Everyone showed excitement when they heard this.The Rothschild family is the most powerful financial power in the financial circles of the five major European powers in the United Kingdom, the German Empire, the northern and southern French regimes, Italy, Austria-Hungary, etc., comparable to the central bank of the Ministry of Finance of a country.

If there is support from this family, then the Dutch guilder's global reserve currency plan has a much better chance of being completed.

William IV asked Mari Philippe next to him: "What is the current level of education and higher education in our country?"

Everyone straightened up after hearing this, even Prime Minister Lyndon and Deputy Prime Minister Jules Danetant were no exception.Transport Minister Mari Philippe has a great background.He was of Dutch descent in Belgium. In 1871, he and Beit, who was still the Prime Minister of Belgium at the time, Jules Danetant and the Speaker of the Parliament of Belgium, took the lead in returning several northern provinces of Belgium to the Netherlands.

What more people also know is that Mari Philippe has always been known as the kingmaker in Belgium. He brought out two prime ministers, including Jules Danetant, and three mayors of Belgian provinces. In total, It only took 15 years, an average of three years, to bring out a high-ranking official with the status of a Belgian prince.

Now Mari Philippe is the whip of the Socialist Party in the House of Lords, ranking third in the party after the party leader Jules Danetang and the party chairman Joseph Beit. He is also the whip of the House of Commons and the Minister of Energy. Before Hester.

Mari Philip currently serves as Minister of Education in the Christian Party-Socialist coalition cabinet.

Facing such a legendary figure in Belgian politics, even Lyndon needs to pay enough respect.Of course, Gerrit de Vries is constantly staring at each other, because last time the Christian Party and the Socialist Party jointly formed a cabinet, it was this guy in front of him who came up with the plan. It can be said that this is the most dangerous figure in the Socialist Party. This is the whole opposition. The consensus of everyone in the Liberal Party.

At first, many people didn't understand why such a character was born.When the coalition cabinet was formed in 1879, he actually chose to become the Minister of Education of the Netherlands, a position with a low status among cabinet members. However, as the new Dutch cabinet implemented various education policies in the past three years, many members of the Socialist Party, in particular, became involved. Education has allowed the Socialist Party to successfully integrate into the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The Liberal Party and the Christian Party, who were belatedly aware of this, only realized that the Socialist Party was based on the 1870 million people in the six provinces of Belgium that returned to the Netherlands in 300.

Originally, the Socialist Party was only influential in the Netherlands in Europe, but as the Netherlands moved to the Far East, it gave the Socialist Party a golden opportunity. So in order to quickly integrate into all aspects of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Socialist Party began to join the Labor Union and the Women's Union, and had more connections with workers at the bottom of society. At the same time, these elements were also added to the party constitution. In particular, almost more than 40% of overseas European and American white immigrants chose to join the Socialist Party. You must know that there are more than 700 million European and American immigrants and their descendants, accounting for nearly a quarter of the white people in the Netherlands. That is 210 million people, plus the 300 million people who returned to the Netherlands and Belgium, nearly 510 million people are the basic base of socialists, accounting for nearly one-fifth of the total white population of the Netherlands.

The reason why so many immigrants and white people from other ethnic groups were quickly captured is due to the contribution of the socialists who returned from Belgium in the Ministry of Education in recent years.

If Mari Philippe or the next government continues to have a socialist in charge of the Ministry of Education, then the education sector, including this government, will still have socialists cultivating talents in the next five years.

Many people speculate that Mari Philip played an important role in the Socialist Party's successful integration into the Netherlands and becoming the third largest party.Maybe it's even the key.
