Eight Dutch heavy cruisers at the start of World War II

What changes if the Netherlands begins World War II with eight operational heavy cruisers?

If the ships escaped the Netherlands, they would create a major Dutch contribution in the Mediterranean and Far East.

The ships matter only if they are operational and avoid being trapped when the Netherlands falls. Under that condition, a significant Dutch force could join operations in the Mediterranean and Far East. The counterfactual therefore turns on fleet preservation and redeployment rather than assuming that possession alone changes the campaign.
