The full name of the Netherlands in the 17th century was the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, and the name suggests that it was a republic, a country made up entirely of rising bourgeois merchants.

The Netherlands was much larger in this period than it was in the 21st century, and it also included what is now Belgium and part of northeastern France in Luxembourg.

In the early years of independence, the independence of the Netherlands was supported by countries such as France, Great Britain and Sweden, and support for French independence was more of a rebellion against Habsburg rule in Europe.

Although the Dutch War of Independence was fought for a long time, Spain has not recognized its independent status until now, and there are still a lot of military frictions between the two sides.

Unlike the rest of Europe at this time, which was plagued by wars, the Netherlands was strong because it was a merchant-based state, and even at war with Spain, it never gave up maritime trade. They relied on maritime commerce to accumulate enough capital to proudly support the fledgling nation against Spain, the empire on which the sun never set.

It is for this reason that refugees from neighboring countries who have been devastated by the war are very fond of flocking to the Netherlands, which puts a lot of burden on the Dutch cities.

Every day you can see technician recruitment desks by the docks in the Netherlands, and since the Australians came here to increase the number of recruits, everyone has begun to hope for a miracle to be the lucky one.

But miracles are not so easy to happen, Australia needs talents, if only a single immigrant labor force is enough of the population, so miracles often only appear in a small number of people, of course, there will be many technical talents have not been miraculously appeared.

Bonnet, a milliner in an unnamed town in France, is a craftsman who makes millines at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve since his grandfather's grandfather, and is also a hat-making family, but with the start of the war, ordinary people have become a problem to eat, where will there be spare money to buy beautiful hats.

Naturally, Bonnet lost his job and closed down because no one was patronizing it, and the family of four had to follow the army of wanderers to Holland, where he heard that he could go to a mysterious and wealthy country, and he believed that if he went there, he would be able to earn a piece of business by relying on his ancestral craft.

But the reality is often not as simple as he thinks, Australia is indeed recruiting craftsmen, most of the craftsmen who can be recruited are shipbuilding, metallurgical mud, etc., if you count those down-and-out priests who can only study strange air and water animals every day, then Australia's recruitment targets are actually very narrow, like him is not in the sequence of recruitment at all.

I have been politely invited to apply for several applications, sir, I'm really sorry, we are only recruiting for these technical talents on the brand, you don't match. Thinking of the words of that beautiful lady sitting at the recruitment desk, Bonnet had already seen that he would never be hired, or even never.

There are many other technical talents who have been rejected like him, and when they come out dejected, they tell each other about their rejection, as if they have found someone to confide in each other.

As more and more people complain that they have been politely rejected, the inevitable excitement of the crowd leads some of them to suspect that there is something shady in this, and although they don't use the word shady, they can be sure that there is definitely something behind it.

Ever since a guy knew that he had been recruited for his idleness, who only knew how to eat and drink, and who only knew how to draw some inexplicable pictures every day, he had been seriously suspicious.

The more they thought about it, the more angry they became, they gathered at the door and refused to leave, asking for an explanation, and some unskilled refugees also joined the team to denounce and express their support.

For a while, the crowd was surging at the dock in Amsterdam, and the officials of the Dutch East India Company in charge of recruitment had to close the recruitment venue in advance, and immediately contacted the mayor of Amsterdam to mobilize a large number of city security personnel to deal with these refugees.

With the appearance of would-be soldiers in armor and spears or swords in their hands, the refugees' demands did not disperse, but more and more people joined them.

This frightened a city guard magistrate who rushed over to maintain law and order, and if he really did it, it would definitely be a disaster. These refugees, who usually seem to be honest, will definitely make people look sideways once they start to do it.

Therefore, he rationally chose not to use violence, but to surround everyone in an area, and he immediately sent someone to tell His Excellency the Municipal Magistrate, and he would deal with it.

When the city magistrate heard the news of the refugee riot, he made a ruthless count of the troops stationed at the border, and the other party did not fulfill their due duties, resulting in the influx of so many foreign refugees into the country, and he had decided to wait for this incident to be over and must sue the army in the parliament.

"Crick, tell me what to do now, if this matter is not handled well, Your Excellency the Speaker will definitely think that I have not done my duty." City Magistrate Solo, with an angry expression on his face, asked like his assistant.

"Sir, I think we should let the Australians deal with this matter at this time, this matter was originally caused by their recruitment of workers, and it is completely possible for them to deal with this matter." Crick, who knew what had happened, was shrewd enough to blame the Australians for the matter.

"Okay, then you go to the Australian consulate, tell them what happened at the port, and inform General Ryan, who is stationed outside the city, to be ready, and once the Australians can't handle it, let the army suppress it."

"Yes sir." Crick took his leave and came to the Australian Consulate.

When he told Yu Bowen everything about it, a strange smile appeared on the other party's face.

"Mr. Crick, you are shirking your responsibility, do you really think that we caused this incident, and if that is the case, then we can immediately stop the annual recruitment of laborers in your country, and I think Spain and France will be glad that we have placed this recruitment in their own country."

"No, no, Mr. Yu, I'm asking for your help to solve the problem, I don't mean that, as long as you are willing to stand up and say a word, those refugees will definitely disperse and leave."

Crick is right, Yu Bowen has been in the Netherlands for half a year, he has become a philanthropic person, often appearing in places where refugees gather to distribute clothes and food, etc., if he comes out to say a word, it will definitely be useful.

"Mr. Crick, you should know that I can't give them any guarantees, so I don't think it's a good way to go, and you should settle this matter yourself."

Like the refugees, Yu Bowen is not stupid enough to be this point, not to mention that the gang in China does not agree with such a large proportion of whites appearing in Australia, even if they don't dare.

"Mr. Yu, you don't need to guarantee anything, you just need to come forward to persuade them, if it really doesn't work, we will solve it ourselves, what do you think."

After thinking for a moment, Yu Bowen frowned: "Okay, I promise you"
