Chapter 363 Singapore Treaty
A series of relevant internal control measures issued by the Security Department are extremely powerful, especially the informant system, the reporting system, the responsibility system, the joint prevention and management system, the intelligence sharing system, the internal control system of the enterprise unit, the key unit lump sum system, etc., which have been highly praised by the earl.
This was like a shot in the arm, which immediately made the safety department highly excited.
God pity you......
The security department, an important department, worked under great pressure during this period of time, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and a series of measures were finally approved by the earl, and they immediately spent great efforts to promote it in the whole society, held a series of training courses for safety officials, signed a letter of responsibility for safety with major factories and mining enterprises, worked closely with the royal police to promote social joint prevention and management, and strengthened loyalty education, moral education, and gratitude education together with schools, and effective measures have achieved remarkable results.
Many of the simmering events were extinguished in the bud, and in the long run, Queensland would soon become a real base camp for immigrants beyond the reach of the South.
After entering May
The Governor's Office of the Dutch East Indies, which had suffered a devastating defeat in Borneo, had to admit the harsh facts of the current defeat and asked Britain and other European powers to act as mediators for a fourth round of peace talks between Singapore and Queensland.
Perhaps due to the heavy blow of the ships belonging to the British Far East Fleet stationed in the ports of Samarinda, Marzen, and Semuda, in the fourth round of peace talks held in Singapore, although after many rounds of repeated tug-of-war, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies finally lowered its stubborn head.
The Singapore Peace Treaty was formally signed on June 6, and the peace treaty was formalized;
First, the Dutch Governor's Office acknowledged the defeat of the war and was willing to bear the grave consequences and moral responsibility for the war, and to do its best to make up for the losses on the Queensland side.
Second, the Governor-General's Office of the Dutch East Indies recognizes Shangri-La Island as the private land first discovered and owned by the Earl of Queensland, and enjoys all rights in international access, which the Dutch side acknowledges and does not doubt about this.
3. The Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies agreed to cede the Sulawesi Islands, Borneo, East Kalimantan Province, South Kalimantan Province, and most of Central Kalimantan Province (excluding the Kumai area of Central Kalimantan Province) to the Queensland side as war compensation, and the two sides signed a demarcation agreement on this.
Fourth, the Kumai area of Central Kalimantan Province (occupying 30% of the area of Central Kalimantan Province) is a key area of interest for both the Netherlands and Queensland, and the Dutch Governor's Office promises that this area will be an unarmed and peaceful area, that no troops will be stationed in this area, no civilian armed forces will be stationed in this area, that Queensland's interests in this area will be recognized and protected, and that this area will be protected as a strategic buffer zone between the two sides.
5. The Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies undertakes to eliminate all discriminatory and unequal trade provisions, and that Queensland enjoys all trade facilities equal to those of the British Empire, and Queensland undertakes; The Dutch East Indies will be granted equal trade facilitation and the normalization of economic and trade exchanges between the two sides will be promoted.
6. The Governor-General's Office of the Dutch East Indies recognizes and respects the status of His Holiness Earl of Queensland as the "protector of Chinese immigrants" in the South Pacific, and undertakes to cooperate with all efforts in legal, property, trade and other relevant aspects to prevent the occurrence of incidents against Chinese immigrants.
Seventh, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies has designated the Port of Medan on the island of Sumatra and the port of Surabaya on the island of Java as free trade zones, allowing Queensland businessmen to purchase and develop properties within 30 kilometers of the port area, develop bilateral trade, and promote the sound development of the economy and bilateral trade relations.
8. As the defeated party that initiated this unjust war, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies agreed to pay a total of 3.66 million pounds sterling in war reparations, the first instalment of which was 360,000 pounds, and the balance would be paid over 15 years at an interest rate of 7.6%.
9. During the settlement of war reparations, the Queensland side will use the Moluccasas (also known as the Spice Islands) in the Banda Sea as collateral, and if the Dutch side is unable to fulfill its war compensation obligations, the islands will be owned by the Earl of Queensland.
……
21. The peace treaty shall be made in six copies, one for each of the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, one for each of the Earl of Queensland, and one for each of the peace mediators, Britain, France, Germany and Austria......
The formal signing of the Singapore Peace Treaty meant the end of the East Indies War, which deserves special mention.
Public opinion in Queensland once again set off a wave of propaganda, vigorously eulogizing the enthusiastic soldiers, and speaking highly of this major event of opening up the territory, which aroused a high sense of pride among Chinese immigrants and pushed the high prestige of Lord Earl to a new height.
The war in Borneo ended at an unexpectedly fast pace, which directly affected the current situation in Australia, which made the southern states that were ready to move die in a blink of an eye.
On the one hand, this stemmed from the severe rebuke of the Imperial Colonial Department, which forbade the southern states to take substantial separatist measures to worsen the current situation in Australia, and secondly, because the Dutch had been able to support the Dutch for much shorter than originally expected, and the Earl of Queensland was able to quickly mobilize heavy troops to quell the internal war in Australia.
Weighing the two sides, the southern states had to bow in the face of reality.
Most importantly, they did not win the British Empire's strong support for white descendants, and with only a few conservative white House of Lords aristocrats, they did not make the southern states desperate.
You must know that the Earl of Queensland, who represents the Northern State One, also has the support of duke-level bigwigs behind him, and he has won the favor of Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Navy through despicable means, which has made the far-right white community in Southern Zhou worried.
In this day and age
The British Empire had a rich treasury and was able to care for the British scattered around the world, but that care was limited and could never be compared to that of the British natives.
In the minds of the British, the descendants of thieves and bandits who had been exiled to the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa in the early years could not be counted as Anglo-Saxons with noble blood flowing, at best a little more noble than the local natives, nothing more.
Think about it, how many years have passed since the tragedy that broke out in 1845?
The Great Famine in Ireland 38 years ago left millions of people starving to death, displacing millions of people and forcing them to travel all the way to the United States in search of a way to survive, and the entire population of Ireland plummeted by a quarter.
As the wealthy royal family of England, in fact, they have the ability to help Ireland, but in fact they have done nothing, watching Irish civilians die of hunger and cold, and starvation is everywhere.
The British Empire treated Ireland in the British Isles, not to mention Australia or Canada, thousands of miles away, whose lives and deaths were not valued by London at all, and in the final analysis, these people were not treated as British.
This is almost a common phenomenon in Europe today, where the Spaniards turned a deaf ear to the cries of the native white people of the South American colonies for equal power, raised their butcher's knives and mutilated them, causing one horrific massacre after another.
In the final analysis, these Spanish-speaking Catholic native-born whites are not treated as compatriots, but as indiscriminate killings by local natives.
In this era of the jungle, it is not so simple to gain respect by wearing a white skin.
If you want the British Empire to take advantage of certain white ethnic groups in Australia, you can only say that this daydream is too good.
It was this clear sight that completely extinguished the minds of the southern states, which was a serious setback to the ambitious plans of the Governor of New South Wales, Earl John Lawrence Balder.
After the signing of the Singapore Treaty, the situation that had been in full swing miraculously calmed down.
Queensland has ushered in a rare period of calm, which has been able to calmly develop its economy, promote the construction of migration work and all aspects of society, and make up for the shortcomings of social development one by one, so as to achieve more balanced and orderly development.
Since 1883
With the influx of a large number of female immigrants in society, it has ushered in one after another marriage tide and baby boom, and in the first half of the year alone, the number of births has reached 176207, and it has shown an explosive growth in the birth population, and the population curve has risen straight.
A large number of social needs have led to the increasing emergence of shortcomings, such as the urgent shortage of midwives, hospitals, nurses, medical supplies, infant products, and the social demand that follows is the shortage of housing, and the shortage of various daily necessities.
Due to the small size of an economy like Australia, it is difficult to develop a whole industrial industry, and the focus of industrial development in Queensland is the steel industry, wool textile industry, fishery products, meat products and dairy products industry, machinery, military industry and transportation industry, which can only cover a small part of social life.
Most of the other needs can only be imported from abroad, including cotton textiles, garment manufacturing, daily chemical products, rubber, petrochemicals, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, daily ceramics, tea, silk and other large demands, all of which rely on imports.
These rapid growth in demand has pushed up the price of related products, and the society is repairing the shortcomings in its own way, which has made some businessmen see huge business opportunities, and matchmakers, midwives, skilled wood carvers, stone carving artists, lacquer craftsmen, porcelain craftsmen, storytellers, Langzhong, Huizhou self-combing girls and other hot categories, anyway, I lack everything in the Qing Dynasty, that is, there is no shortage of all kinds of craftsmen, how many you want.
This is the uniqueness of the shade with the back of a big tree, a small country like the Kingdom of the Netherlands, with a population so lost, that there is nowhere to find anyone who wants it.
In response to the needs of the society, the Queensland Parliament has successively introduced the "Marriage Act", "Women's Rights Act" and other local regulations, and then deliberated and passed the "Five-Year Education Act", "Public Health Act" and other blockbuster regulations, encouraging the development of private education and health services on the basis of public schools and public hospitals, as a useful supplement to the society.
For a time, the establishment of private schools and private hospitals has become a hot spot for investment, mushrooming all over Queensland, and the strong demand for starting a family has promoted the further development of the construction industry.
