Chapter 353

"President Lincoln and Secretary of State Seward want to suppress the Dutch-Americans headed by the vice president?"

Just when William IV was about to continue with the theme of industrialization, a message from North America made his face change, and he hurriedly left two intelligence directors Mackay Sean and Bill Charlie. And Prime Minister Tolbek and Foreign Minister Heisbert Von, launched countermeasures.

...

The time goes back to the day before the United States of America, Washington on November 28, 1867.

"Would this provoke the Netherlands and make them really decide to break with us?"

Although President Lincoln did not trust Secretary of State Seward very much, he knew that Seward would never be slack in the face of the Commonwealth of Millikin, the big ship that everyone was on.

But as the president of the Commonwealth of Millikin, he knew better in his heart that although the Commonwealth of Millikin looked huge, at least in North America, it was not even better than some European powers such as Spain and Italy. weak.

But in front of those real superpowers, such as the British Empire, the French Empire, the Tsarist Russia Empire, the Prussian Kingdom of Austria-Hungary, etc., one must truly maintain a sense of awe. Although it is a bit embarrassing, the fact is that these countries are like that. The comprehensive strength of China is definitely a super first-class country, among which the Netherlands, the Netherlands, Italy, the Ottomans, etc., these are far behind.

This is undeniable, and it is precisely because of this that other countries in the world will not dare to touch the interests of these five countries, unless they are supported by other countries in these countries, otherwise, they will definitely be subjected to extraordinary " return".

It is because I understand that I am worried.

"Your Excellency, this is not the tone of what you said before. I think that when you were a young land surveyor, you resolved national defense disputes for many families because of land disputes. You were not afraid of the sky before. Is it because these years have been too comfortable, so I have retreated in my heart?"

"Don't worry, how could I be like that"

Seward said at this time:

"I still have to finish this term. After the two-person term of the President, I want to run for president. At that time, I also hope that you will have the president to support my work in the form of an adviser, and I Haven't got a good job in Washburn yet?"

Washburn was a direct descendant of Lincoln and was of Irish descent, so Seward hit Lincoln in the seven inches, knowing that this was a bribe of Irish descent, and that the deal was proposed in front of Lincoln.

I have to say that the political atmosphere of the two countries is so real.

However, you can't blame Lincoln. After all, if he steps down, the Irish will always need someone who can bear the burden to protect the interests of the Irish, and the future of Washburn, whom he sees, naturally needs to start planning now.

So Lincoln couldn't help but ask, "What job?"

Seward seemed to have guessed the result a long time ago, and he said to Lincoln with a slight respect: "I don't know, is Andrew Johnson's current vice president position suitable?"

"Vice President? Sure enough, it's a good idea. Well, if things really go as we predicted, then I'll ask Washburn to cooperate with you."

In a few words, the two inadvertently completed the structure of the next presidential election, and the position of the Dutch-born Vice President Andrew Johnson was already in the minds of others.

As for the transaction between Irish and German, it is clear that Dutch has been omitted by these two parties. President Lincoln is worthy of being President Lincoln, and he does "indiscriminately" when he does big things.

"Your Excellency, what are you going to do with the incident with the Netherlands?"

With the success of the transaction just now, Seward asked questions more directly.

Lincoln, on the other hand, did not hide it any more: Holland is a deeply hidden tiger, and as our allies, they will come forward sooner or later. But the length of time is only. During this period of time, on the issue of the Far East, he faced off against the French Empire, but everyone who watched it was stunned. For the first time, the strength of the Netherlands made all countries very frightened.

In particular, the coordination between William IV and the Dutch government was astonishing.

Originally, according to my estimation, the French Empire needed to fight for a longer time, but Napoleon III's idiot factor made the International Hague Tribunal organization tremble and become the focus of international attention.

But what surprised me at the beginning was that I thought it was mainly verbal support, but I didn't expect that the Netherlands would push for sanctions against the French Empire, and directly took out the weapons and sent them to the hands of the Kingdom of Siam. don't hesitate"

Speaking of this, President Lincoln is also sighed. The situation in Europe affects all the heat in the world. This is not only related to Europe, nor is it limited to the battlefield in Asia, but because it is related to the future of all people in the world. Even if they are as powerful as the United States of America, in front of these European powers, they also know that their destiny is actually in the hands of Europeans.

Anytime, anywhere, the United States of America may be stifled by a sudden situation. After all, the establishment of the Confederate State of the South, recognized by all countries, is a true portrayal. This is only with the support of the UK, what if other countries join the ranks of the UK?

Lincoln felt terrible to think about it.

This made him, the president of the United States of America, have to plan carefully.

"You said no hesitation at all. Do you mean against the Kingdom of the Netherlands? Therefore, to ease relations with the French Empire?"

Lincoln looked at Seward Road.

Seward nodded and said: "Yes, now the French Empire has been unable to ride a tiger~www.mtlnovel.com~ The French Empire has too many enemies at present, guarding against the British French Empire, competing with the United Kingdom and the Netherlands for influence in the Far East, but also on guard. The rising Prussia has to face the challenges of Prussia and other countries in Africa at the same time, but South America's support for Paraguay is halfway, not to mention Mexico, Napoleon III's foreign policy is simply sloppy. Such a French empire, I think the United States of America The country should be able to make good friends in a timely manner, but it has achieved unexpected results. What's more, Your Excellency, don't you think that the influence of the Dutch in the Commonwealth of Millikin has been a little too large recently?"

Lincoln shuddered, looking up at Seward, trying to find something in his face.

"Is our Excellency Secretary of State saying that he wants me to deal with the Dutch?" Lincoln asked casually.

Seward laughed: "Your Excellency the President's words are funny, this is actually a pressing matter for everyone at the moment when dealing with Dutch people. The Dutch have more than 1 million people in the population of the Commonwealth of Millikin, occupying 23 million of the population of the Commonwealth of Millikin. 5% of the population, compared to our Germans and Irish people occupying nearly half of the population, it is far worse, how can the Dutch be able to follow us in the parliament or the cabinet government with such a large distance On a par? It's unfair. I think we should stop this injustice from continuing, Your Excellency, what do you think?"
