The banquet was very pleasant, mainly because after King William III of the Netherlands heard that King Leopold II of Belgium gave convenient treatment to Chinese students, he immediately expressed his intention to do better than the Kingdom of Belgium.

The countries with the largest number of international students in China are Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, Belgium, Austro-Hungary and Italy.

The Netherlands ranks second, with more than 30,000 Chinese students in the Netherlands, which is a very scary number.

"Thank you for your friendly attitude towards China, and we will also increase cooperation with the Netherlands." President Meng said immediately.

"It has nothing to do with war. In terms of economy and industry, the Netherlands welcomes the cooperation of China." William III smiled.

The cute president also smiled, "We adhere to the diplomatic strategy of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, but our Chinese country never gives up the need to safeguard national dignity and take force measures."

When William III and Queen Emma listened to Emperor Hua's speech, they felt like a pleasure, as if William III, who was in his sixties, was a student listening to the teacher's class.

In fact, how much success a person achieves and how many things he understands is really not very related to his age. Some people have lived a lifetime, but they only figured out something in life, but they can't even figured out that some people can evolve from an ordinary person to a helmsman role in a few years. Hua Huang has such a meaning.

William III also exchanged views with Emperor Hua on the economic development and social organizational structure of the Netherlands, because the political systems of the two countries are exactly the same. William III is one of the few powerful monarchs among European monarchs and accounts for a large part of the entire national system.

Emperor Hua did not comment on the economic situation of the Netherlands, but expressed his affirmation of William III's conservative diplomatic style. It is not easy to be able to remain neutral in a place of right and wrong in Europe and a traditional colonial power.

After the banquet, William III arranged for Emperor Hua to live in the Grand Hotel of Severnigan, which was the highest standard for the Netherlands to receive foreign politicians.

Siffanygen is the most famous beachfront resort in the Netherlands. Because it is close to The Hague, it takes only a while to enjoy the sun, sea and beach from the city center of The Hague to the seaside.

The palace-style hotel built beside the sea has been a social place for the upper class since ancient times. It is surrounded by casinos and theaters, shopping streets with complete brand-name products, etc., which can fully enjoy a comfortable leisure life.

The problem of international students was originally a heart disease of Emperor Hua. I didn’t expect William III to solve it so readily. The next problem was the food problem.

The direction of Emperor Hua’s military purchase is Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy. Emperor Hua’s grain ordering is even more significant than that of the military purchase.

Huahuang plans to order 1 billion Huayuan food. In this era, this is a very large amount! It can account for more than one-third of the surplus food on the entire earth.

Emperor Hua originally cooperated with Spain, but now he decided to cooperate with the Netherlands, because if he cooperated with Spain alone, he was afraid that there would be insufficient time. Emperor Hua's plan was to complete the grain reserves by the middle of 1880!

Food crops include wheat, rice, corn, oats, rye, barley, millet, sorghum and barley, but three of them (wheat, rice and corn) account for more than half of the world's food.

Food crops are the main source of food for mankind, and they are the most important material for Emperor Hua to provoke the war in defending Central Asia. Their importance lies even above the armament!

Why did the Qing court often get a small-scale army of 10,000 or 20,000 people not lose to the great powers? This is a human problem. Emperor Hua has the most powerful army in his hand. Even if he is holding a machete, the Chinese army has enough ability to defend the local area. This is incomparable to the Qing court. Emperor Hua believes that as long as there is no problem with the food, no matter whether the military can be supplied, the Chinese country has the ability to fight against four major powers, Britain, France, and even the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire!

Unlike vegetables and fruit trees, the seeds of food crops contain less water. Therefore, they are resistant to storage than vegetables or fruits.

Therefore, as long as the economy allows, no matter how much storage is, it is better to save five or ten years. Unfortunately, Emperor Hua does not have enough funds to save such a large amount, and the earth does not have so much food.

China planted rice 7,000 years ago. Corn began to grow about 7,000 years ago. About 6,000 years ago, people in the Middle East began to grow wheat (but that kind of wheat is more primitive than modern wheat).

Why are they called food crops? Because they provide food to humans. Scientifically, they are called cereal crops (classified to belong to the Grape family).

Grain crops are collectively known as cereal crops (including rice, wheat, barley, oats, corn, millet, sorghum, etc.), potato crops (including sweet potatoes, potatoes, cassava, etc.), and legume crops (including soybeans, broad beans, peas, mung beans, beans, etc.). They can also be called edible crops. Their products contain starch, protein, fat and vitamins. Cultivating grain crops not only provides food and certain non-staple foods to humans to maintain life needs, but also provides raw materials for the food industry and provide concentrated feed and most rough feed for the animal husbandry. Therefore, grain production is the basis of agriculture in most countries.

Generally, grain crops are also the dominant crops among crops. The world's grain crop planting area accounts for about 85% of the total crop sowing area, of which wheat, rice and corn account for about 80% of the world's total grain production. China is the world's largest grain-producing country, with grain crops accounting for 70% of the total crop sowing area. The total grain output and the output of rice, wheat, millet and sweet potatoes are among the forefront in the world.

Therefore, it is also very important to not only purchase from outside, but also to reserve by yourself.

"Your Majesty, will our practice of absorbing food reserves through Spain arouse the alertness of the great powers? If we bring the Netherlands again, it will be accelerated, but..." Princess Katrina Kaif was worried about alerting the enemy.

While drinking a drink, the cute president looked at the beautiful sea view outside the Palace Hotel in Shivannigan and smiled and said, "If you are alert, be alert, so what can you do? We will only purchase arms from Germany, so don't you be more alert? The key is to put things in your pocket first. What is the difference between them being alert and not being alert? There is no difference. If we don't have so many supplies in our hands, then the difference will be great. If we want to fight or not, let it go first, can we fight, and whether we have the ability to fight, this is the prerequisite."

Emperor Hua's high theory with a slightly philosophical view convinced Princess Katrina Kaif, "Well, I was convinced by His Majesty. Indeed, our relationship with Britain and France is very tense now, but I am afraid that they will join the arms race. You must know that our financial capabilities cannot be compared with Britain. If we have the spare time for a country, we have the best efforts and add Britain, it will be difficult to deal with. Is Your Majesty not worried that the procurement cost will increase?"

"Not only will I not improve, I can also make the biggest profit in this large-scale grain purchase and teach the entire world economy a lesson." Hua Huang said to Princess Katrina Kaif with a smile, "Don't worry."

Princess Katrina Kaifu looked at Emperor Hua in surprise, feeling that His Majesty had exaggerated a little? But she just said oh.

"The population of China is 800 million, and our country accounts for almost one-third of the global total population. China's current major targets of attention are still Tsarist Russia. We actually have a tacit understanding of this with the British! Russia has a population of 15,000 and the United States has 8,000. These two countries are major countries that produce food, so it is the most difficult to deal with them! Although at this stage of development, the world war has already developed towards modernization, the preliminary preparations for the war still need to start from the perspective of agricultural countries. Whoever has enough food and whoever has the best military skills. These two items are far more important than weapons and equipment!" Emperor Hua said to Princess Katrina Kaf.

Princess Katrina Kaif nodded and said, "It's like this. The reason why a great country is a big country is large, with a large population, a large grain, a stable and unified political situation. As for the level of industrial development, as long as the prerequisites are met, the development speed can reach a very fast speed. Germany's population 60 million is the European power that is currently at the same pace as China's development speed. Japan has a population of 50 million, Austro-Hungary has a population of 50 million, Britain has a population of 4500, France has a population of 4000, Italy has a population of 30 million, Türkiye has a population of 20 million. This is the situation of several major powers we are facing."

"That's right. No matter how big or small the country is, Japan has so many people, and it is a big country. We cannot regard them as small countries. China uses kilograms of industrial products and agricultural products. The use of 1 billion Chinese yuan is my goal to purchase at least 450 billion kilograms of grain. The 800 million Chinese population will consume 150 billion kilograms a year. In this case, if this war falls into a arduous war of attrition, as long as the government itself does not fall, there will be no problem for three years." Emperor Hua said to Princess Katrina Kaif.

"Your Majesty wanted to fight for so long? Is this the worst plan?" asked Princess Katrina Kaif.

"No, the worst plan is to fight for ten years, but I don't think this possibility is very likely. We can hold on, but Britain, France, especially the French, will definitely not last for so long. As long as we get rid of France first, it will not take two or three months. When the French parliament heard that the front was defeated, it will immediately change the cabinet and withdraw the war." Hua Huang smiled and said, "So, in terms of strategy, we must regard them as a whole, and we must separate them. My ten years are worried that after Tsarist Russia joins, it will develop into a protracted war. This is what I fear the most." Hua Huang Huang looked at the Eurasian War that he expected to launch in mid-1880, and said to Princess Katrina Kaif.
