Chapter 89 Time Development and Industrial Railways (Please subscribe!)
Queen Wilhelmina’s full name is Wilhelmina Helena Paulina Maria. She became Queen of the Netherlands in 1890 and remains today.
However, Queen Wilhelmina actually ascended the throne on September 6, 1898, and she truly held power for less than 3 years.
The Netherlands has established a complete constitutional monarchy and parliamentary system. The Dutch monarch has very few rights, and most of the time it is just a false title without rights.
Queen Wilhelmina originally ruled the Netherlands for 50 years, the longest among all Dutch kings and queens.
During her tenure, Queen Wilhelmina respected the Dutch constitutional monarchy and parliamentary system, and tried her best to balance the opposition between the counter-revolutionary party, the liberal party and the socialist party.
During Queen Wilhelmina's reign, she experienced very important historical turning points for the Netherlands and the world, namely World War I, World War II, the economic crisis in 1933, and the independence of the Dutch colonies.
Various deeds have also made Queen Wilhelmina one of the more legendary queens of the Netherlands, deeply loved by the Dutch people.
Of course, the current Queen Wilhelmina has just officially ascended the throne for less than three years, and is still very immature in politics, and even the original historical marriage has not happened.
Perhaps it was because Arthur was a butterfly flapping its wings that Queen Mother Emma actually decided to marry Arthur, and even went to Australia in person to negotiate the marriage with Princess Louise.
Thinking about this, Arthur was a little silent. Since marriage with the Kingdom of the Netherlands has no disadvantages for Australia, it also has many benefits for Arthur.
So, getting engaged to Wilhelmina seems like a good choice?
As he thought about it, Arthur's mind began to feel heavy and he fell into sleep unconsciously.
It will take some time for the Aboriginal purchase plan with the Netherlands to be implemented, but the Aboriginal transportation plan for Australia's own New Guinea colony has been implemented for a long time.
Since Arthur issued the order, Governor Anibal began to have people study the specific implementation method of the plan. He only waited for the arrival of the troops promised by Arthur and immediately launched the indigenous capture plan.
Arthur also acted quickly. In less than a month, an army of two thousand men set off and arrived in New Guinea.
This will be a painful past for the indigenous people of New Guinea, if they can retain a few fires.
But for Australia, the industrial development plan can inject fresh vitality and ensure the flourishing development of the country's various industries without harming the interests of Australians.
Starting from July 1901, at least 5,000 indigenous people were reluctantly transported to Australia every month under the oppression of soldiers and put into production and construction in various industries.
They face dangerous work that makes Australians uncomfortable, and they may even lose their lives if they are not careful.
Of course, they are also paid handsomely. Brown bread and wheat paste carefully made by the logistics department, paired with clear soup made from unknown vegetables, are the sumptuous dishes of every indigenous person.
If placed in Germany after World War I, the food of these indigenous people might be worth at least millions of marks.
Arthur felt that he had been very kind to them. Not only did he spend a lot of money to provide them with food, but he also allowed them to work only fourteen hours a day and rest during the rest of the time. He was simply the most charitable entrepreneur of our time.
Of course, I don't know what the natives thought of Arthur. However, since several nonsense-talking indigenous people were shot on the spot, it was obvious that the indigenous people treated the Australians around them with less hatred and hatred, and more fear and surrender. Industry Minister Pierre and Transport Minister Conlet are smiling the brightest these days.
With the addition of sufficient indigenous manpower, the most obvious changes can be felt in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Transport.
These two departments require a large amount of manpower. Without lack of funds, equipment and materials, with the participation of these indigenous people, the construction of industrial zones and roads are simply advancing with each passing day.
Not only are roads being renovated very quickly, but Sydney's urban reconstruction project, which was originally planned to take at least several years of preparation, has been put on the agenda, and the revision of urban planning is already in full swing.
For Australians, they are also used to seeing these indigenous people in many places where they work.
Although most of them are separated by barbed wire and walls, the figures of the indigenous people can still be seen very clearly.
Most Australians smiled proudly when they saw the indigenous people being "requested" to work by soldiers with friendly guns.
Don’t be surprised, this is actually the norm in modern European society. A country that does not oppress colonial races will be looked down upon by other countries.
In short, the rise of Europe is a history of blood and tears of oppression. Australia, like Australia, can transfer the bloody oppression to the outside world, especially the indigenous people, which is very satisfying to these Australians.
Australian people are also becoming more and more respectful and enthusiastic about Arthur. If pollsters existed now, Arthur's approval rating would be at least 99 percent.
It is not surprising that it has not reached 100%. After all, every country has some talents with strange ideas.
All Arthur needs to ensure is that the vast majority of normal people respect and love his rule.
After surveying Australia's mineral resources and geographical environment, German industrial experts couldn't help but marvel at Australia's industrial development potential.
Previously, there were manpower limitations. After sufficient indigenous people join, Australia's industrial development is like a wild horse that is running wild and is about to take off.
In order to ensure the supply of various resources in the industrial zone and the safety of the industrial zone, Arthur.
Based on the original roads in the industrial zone, it is planned to build a railway from Western Australia across the five states of South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, and name it the Industrial Railway.
Starting from the industrial area in the west, it passes through Perth, the capital of Western Australia, Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, all the way to Brisbane, the capital of Queensland.
If this railway can be built, it will be able to connect the five existing states on the Australian continent and accelerate the economic development of southern Australia.
However, the total length of this railway is more than 4,000 kilometers, and it is not a task that can be completed in a few years.
According to conservative estimates by German experts, the construction of this railway will take at least ten years and require an annual investment of at least two million pounds.
First update, please support! Slightly accelerated, this book is expected to receive support after World War II. It has been in 1901 and I feel sorry for everyone's support
