1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

The Netherlands is a booger-sized place with no population and no resources and is still in the center of Europe. Why don't you want to rise and compete for hegemony without moving? You want to eat shit, that era was going to be turbulent in the next few decades and the World War was going on, but you still want to dance with such a small body? If nothing else, let's just say that the French chicken John Bull next to you is not blind. I think the author will not be able to make up the plot in the end.

It is impossible for the Netherlands to rise. How can it rise when it is surrounded by big countries? I feel like I could write a book about Romania, Austria-Hungary, Serbia or Bulgaria before World War I, Hungary or Albania before World War II... National historical literature.

It is impossible for the Netherlands to rise. Its domestic resources are limited and its population is limited. Moving is almost possible, America is completely divided, moving to Africa is almost impossible, Asia…. The people don't allow it, the army doesn't allow it, and the officials don't allow it. If you really do it, then you will be the second Louis XVI! The king who gave up his native land was guillotined before he could do it. The second point is that the surrounding countries do not allow it. The history of the British attack on the Netherlands has proven that Germany wants to annex you directly. France wants to turn you into a buffer zone. We cannot fight for colonies, we have no hard power, and we have no sovereignty in diplomacy. A small country is like a leaf, drifting with the tide and being submerged accidentally. This is the fate of a small country. The First World War directly destroyed the Netherlands, and everything before was lost!

The population determines the upper limit of a country and a nation. The population of the main ethnic groups in the Netherlands determines that it is impossible for it to become a big country.

In this era, the population of the Netherlands is about 3 million. The population of France and England is ten times that of yours. If the Netherlands wants to develop, it must run away or imitate Prussia. However, the strategic environment of Germany is a tragedy. Even if Germany is unified and wins the first war, its vitality will be greatly damaged. The rise of the United States is inevitable. It is better to move the whole country to Australia as soon as possible and control Southeast Asia with Australia as the core. Control the Indian and Pacific oceans, explode the population, and compete with the United States for German immigrants. In order to have a population of 20 million during the First World War, we will have some development. We must also exterminate the indigenous people of Southeast Asia. If we do not abandon our homeland, it is basically impossible to develop. We can still migrate while there is little resistance. In a few years, you will not be able to escape even if you want to. The author wants to It would be completely ridiculous for Europe to control overseas territories when it is the homeland. Once the resources are cut off, you will be blind. A small place like the Netherlands will be blocked for you in minutes. As soon as the navy is finished, the Netherlands will be destroyed. All the overseas territories will be independent for you. You don't even want to be independent. Such a long distance is impossible to control. Refer to the United States to fight Japan. Once the United States breaks out, your territory is far away from the Netherlands. It's so far away. It's good to be able to last for one year. This is still a one-on-one situation. It's too ideal. If the author wants to develop, he must run away as soon as possible and write more about farming instead of sitting in the Netherlands and doing things here and there. You are a small and broken country in the Netherlands. Who will give you face? There are big countries on three sides. You have no diplomatic say. Who will give you the opportunity to cause trouble? The navy will suppress you every minute.

In the Netherlands, only free ports can be developed, and there is not much room for development. First think about it, if the European War breaks out, the Netherlands is basically a battleground for military strategists, and there is no way to protect it. The European smuggling center is the Netherlands, which is basically an important transportation hub for land and sea. No country will let you develop.

The author should move. Staying in Europe is not possible. The country is small and has no resources, so it is impossible to rise. Staying in Europe is a dead end, being sandwiched between the three major powers. It's hard to be a good person and get beaten if you don't obey. If you obey, you will be cannon fodder. The three major powers will not give you face at all. If you are a small country and a few people can't fight them, it would be good to move to Oceania or South America. If that doesn't work, just move to South Africa. Just kill all the indigenous people to occupy the land, and then develop industry and commerce, and enhance national strength through immigration. Talent means a rapid burst of industrial development, and all walks of life can also develop rapidly. Learn again from the Americans and seek the greatest interests.

Population is not enough. I think the most important thing for the protagonist to do is to abandon the homeland before the First World War breaks out, go to Southeast Asia and slowly develop, and then annex Australia. No matter how bad the future is, it will still be one of the five permanent members.

The Netherlands cannot become a great power. The population is too small and the territory is too small. During this period, the Netherlands can develop South Africa. The Netherlands already has a foundation in South Africa. This place is very good and vigorously absorbs immigrants, especially immigrants from the German region.

Well, by integrating and marrying black people, the author is trying to exterminate the Dutch bloodline.
