Chapter 215

On January 1, 1865, the North American Commonwealth of America, which was at war with the United States, officially entered into force the "Emancipation Proclamation" to emancipate black slaves. The battle just ended with a victory for the South.

The South wanted to pursue the victory, so on January 8, 1865, the two sides launched another battle at Chancellorsville, Virginia. The main battle of the North and South sides was Robert E. Lee and Joseph Hooker.

The Union Army killed more than 5,700 men, 11,000 were wounded, and more than 4,000 others were captured and missing.

The Confederates lost over 3,600 killed and 9,200 wounded.

Union troops killed in 1683

Allied 9277 wounded

It should be said that the total number of troops invested in the north exceeds 150,000, and the south is 65,000.

The war was another major victory for the South.

President Lincoln was again under pressure from Congress.

Fortunately, because the "Emancipation Proclamation" was implemented this month, the black people continued to defect to the North, making it seem that the situation began to turn, and the Libra began to develop in the direction of the Northern Federation.

The Secretary of the Interior of the Commonwealth of Millikin, Eli Hugh B. Washburn, has been in the limelight recently. The implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation marked the beginning of the black people's recognition of their identity in the United States, and also made the politics of the United States political. The ecology has changed.

In the presidential election that only white people could run for, now black slaves have also become one of the sources of votes.

With the rapid growth of blacks, federal elections will upset the current equilibrium.

Therefore, many people have a love-hate relationship with Lincoln's proclamation of the Emancipation Proclamation.

As one of the framers, Eli Hugh B. Washburn, together with Attorney General James Speed, have become the most influential figures in the hearts of blacks in the entire North and South of America after President Lincoln.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

William IV is listening to North American intelligence from the Dutch director of international intelligence, Mackay Sean.

In particular, he has been concerned about changes in American politics.

"Now this is very dissatisfying to the Secretary of State of the Northern Commonwealth, Seward.

Because he also had ideas for the next federal election in 1869, and with the rise of these two people, it seemed that Seward, the Secretary of State, began to think about the decline in Lincoln's cabinet government.

Andrew Johnson, the vice president from the southern state of North Carolina, has been deliberately guided by someone with a heart, and has attracted waves of crusades in the federal country. As long as the south does not reunite with the north, then his vice president has no chance to become the federal president. , every time a southern attack, it will cause Andrew. Johnson, Rena's vice president (who is also the president of the Senate), one step further from the presidency.

However, the notable person is Skyler Colfax, who has been elected to the House of Representatives since 1854 and was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives the year before in 1863. In March this year, the three-year speaker period expired because He has become the leader of the radical faction in the Communist Party. Many people predict that he will be re-elected as Speaker of the House of Representatives. At least many people in the Communist Party are inclined to his re-election.

Your Majesty, this man, like many of his predecessors, was ambitious during his tenure."

"Does he have any signs?"

"He always kept his trademark amiable smile, but he was very candid and did not hide his ambitions for the presidency."

William IV instantly thought of the successive Speakers of the House of Representatives who had the face of the superpower in later generations. It seems that the president called Biden, that is, has a smile on his face for many years, like Maitreya Buddha, but he also never hides his ambitions.

William IV even wondered whether Biden's role model, his life model, would be the person mentioned by McKay Shawn just now.

Thinking of this, he moved in his heart and asked, "Is there a handle on this person?"

Don't blame William IV's dirty mentality, it's just that the world is like this, especially because of his position, when others are concerned about the war on the surface of various countries, in fact, using the intelligence bureau, William IV has begun to infiltrate various countries Now, his big secret chess, the current Secretary of the Interior of the United States of America, Elihu B. Washburn, also has his handle.

In today's British political arena, in fact, his targeted intelligence collection, and even his creation, also mastered many negative intelligence about British Whig and Tory political figures.

Sometimes, these can be unexpected, so that the person who masters it has great benefits.

At least if the negative is big enough, even the current Viscount Palmerston in the UK can pull down.

What's more, it is now the United States of America, which claims to be law-abiding.

McKay Sean said: "After our investigation, we found that he was involved in the bribery case of the American Chattel Credit Bank, and we also found out that in 1862, when he was a member of the Postal Post Commission in Congress, he had been supplied with government envelopes. The contractor ~www.mtlnovel.com~ accepts a $4,000 VP campaign donation."

William IV closed his eyes satisfactorily, delayed his eyes to reveal a satisfied light, and said, "Isn't that enough, so that we can hunt another heavyweight in the Federation?"

Mackay Sean: "If nothing else, yes"

William IV: "Contact the other party as soon as possible, and at the same time quickly collect other evidence, I want to quickly see him show a friendly side to the Netherlands."

At the end, William IV sighed: "A speaker of the House of Representatives, this is a big fish, it can be eaten for several meals."

McKay Sean thought to himself: "Where there are only a few meals, it should be several years."

However, when he thought of the many secrets of important dignitaries from various countries that His Majesty currently has in his hands, he fell silent.

In the Dutch Royal Palace, the most heavily guarded palace is not the palace where the king rests, but the private office used by the king. It has only about 100 square meters of space, and the guards are more than 20 people on duty each time. Strict to the extreme.

"Your Majesty, Elihu B. Washburn seems to be walking around a lot with Irish people recently. He seems to be doing something."

William IV said: "So he's restless too"

McKay Shaun: "As the United Kingdom's potato crisis in the early 2000s caused a large number of Irish people to emigrate overseas, the United States became the first choice, and the United Kingdom also let it go. Now in the most concentrated Northern Commonwealth, the Irish power began to Growing sharply, due to dissatisfaction with the English and Scots, Irish-born formed their own small teams.

Therefore, their close ties, apparently, seem to have a different view of the president of the Commonwealth."

"What a different opinion, just say it if you have ambitions," William IV scolded with a smile.
