The North American Secretary of State of the United States of America, Seward, seemed to have imagined that scene, and the anger on his face seemed to subside slowly.

This made Al Gore, the Dutch ambassador to the U.S. next to him, involuntarily admired. Seward was worthy of being appointed as Secretary of State by Lincoln in 1861. It really wasn't a cover. At the same time, he looked at his boss, the second deputy minister of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who was in charge of American affairs in the Netherlands.

He also lives up to the statement. He is the most foolhardy debater in the Dutch Foreign Ministry.

Leadership is leadership, and Al Gore has consciously gained insight and learned a lot.

"So, the Netherlands did this for the sake of our Commonwealth of America?"

Seward looked at Jerry Hunter with a half-smile but asked.

Jerry Hunter smiled and said, "Is there any other country in the world that is as close to the Commonwealth of America as the Netherlands and the Russian Empire?"

If you say Holland, just say Holland, why are you still tying the Tsarist Empire to your body!

Seward complimented the other party's nonsense, but at the same time did not dare to deny that Holland was currently one of their closest allies of the Commonwealth of Millikin, even though he understood that Holland's goals were definitely not pure.

So he pretended to be distressed and said: "It's not bad, but the Netherlands is a good friend of the United States of America, but because of this, the two of us have also seen our predicament. I don't know if you two realize it or not. Doing this has caused major turmoil in our country. The relationship with the UK has entered a more turbulent cliff edge, and it may enter the doomed situation of war at any time. The Netherlands did this, which is what led us to start a war with the UK. Push the edge up"

Al Gore knew that the Commonwealth of Millikin was dispatching troops to the northwest frontier of Millikin and Canada. This was the information that Jerry Hunter had told him before, although he did not know the source of the information, and he even received information from Jay. Li. Hunter also knew that the other party was the same as him. Obviously, both of them were aware of the Dutch cable staff in the United States of America.

It's just that they don't know who it is, but they also understand who should know and who shouldn't, and they naturally understand this truth.

However, this does not prevent them from trusting the authenticity of the source of this information.

Therefore, when Al Gore saw that Seward was so pretentious, he sighed again in his heart that he really could be a high-level diplomat, none of them was easy, and he really had to be very thick-skinned.

Dutch Deputy Minister Jerry Hunter is naturally not an easy person to deal with. You must know that in the Netherlands, when the Prime Minister forms a new cabinet government, all cabinet members need to be approved by two-thirds of the members of the Dutch Senate. It can only come into force with the signature of the King of the Netherlands.

Therefore, every member of the cabinet is almost popular. Even when the two dang have about the same number of members in the Senate, the prime minister can only make deals. After the prime minister nominates the members of the opposition party to obtain the position of cabinet members that is in line with the interests of both parties, With the support of the opposition parties, a successful and complete cabinet government was formed.

It is because of this that many prime ministers try to avoid this scene, but sooner or later, it will take a while, just like the late British Prime Minister Palmersto, who was the opposition manager in 1830. , so under this transaction, he became the foreign minister of the Tory party cabinet, and then gradually achieved his fame.

This is signed into effect. In fact, like the current Dutch deputy ministers who have not entered the cabinet, due to the strength of William IV, the cabinet government led by Prime Minister Torbek and the military led by Chief of Staff Mark Rudd have no effect on their own. Before the promotion of the deputy minister level, he will ask William IV for advice, and he will be promoted only after obtaining approval. This also means that the second deputy foreign minister of the Netherlands, Jerry Hunter, is also one of the characters who have fallen into the eyes of William IV.

Gu Huan

Will the person identified by William IV be simple? He believes that no one in Europe will agree with it now.

Jerry Hunter still had an expression of neither joy nor sorrow, but he remained a gentleman. He first glanced at Seward, and then said with a smile: "Netherlands will not harm our good friend Milliken. Commonwealth"

Seeing that Seward was waiting for him to continue, Jerry Hunter said, "We will only help you. After all, the United States of America has already sent tens of thousands of soldiers to Washington State. If we, the Netherlands, don't make some excuses as good friends. With your words, how can you overwhelm the British? Right, Your Excellency Secretary of State."

what!

What does he mean?

Seward's face changed dramatically, and he looked at Jerry Hunter in shock, but the latter's expression still seemed to be motionless, as if the words just now were not what he said.

Seward's thousands of thoughts turned instantly, he stared at Jerry Hunter, and the other party looked back at him from beginning to end. There is no fear, and it is still as plain as ever.

A good Dutch Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, he is like this, then presumably several other people with the same position as him are not good people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh that his subordinates were lacking in talent.

At this time, he knew that Holland must have noticed something, and looking at the appearance of the two in front of him, he even knew the next move of the Commonwealth of Millikin, but he already understood the fundamentals.

In the end, the always anti-Dutch Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Millikin gave in.

Because, he knew, the next step was the beginning of a tough battle for diplomatic negotiations.

On September 20, 1866, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands held a joint press conference in Washington, Washington, on behalf of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Hesbert Fung, and the Secretary of State of the United States of America, Seward. Will cooperate in the security of the Atlantic Ocean~lightnovelpub.net~ The Commonwealth of Millikin will increase the purchase of Dutch weapons by 50% in the next five years on the original basis. At the same time, the two countries also announced that they will More economic exchanges between the two sides of the Pacific Ocean.

The Netherlands focuses on the eastern coast of Australia, supplemented by New Guinea and the East Indies, and comprehensively connecting the two countries along the western Pacific coast of Millikin will create economic links and jointly promote economic development.

This was clearly what the Dutch government and the Lincoln government wanted, and what William IV and Seward wanted, both of whom were looking forward to what was going on there.

Just when many people were careless about this, they learned later that the big head was still behind.

The Netherlands actually agreed to the application of the United States of America for the purchase of steam-class battleships, and even sold 5 ships?

A first-class steam battleship cost more than 300,000 pounds. The Commonwealth of Millikin ordered five ships at one time. William Shipping Company, a subsidiary of the William Group in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, is ready to deliver one every three years. 1.5 million pounds in 2015, an average of 100,000 pounds per year, plus after-sales maintenance and replacement of parts, which add up to astronomical data for many small countries. It is conceivable that the Dutch William Group accounts for the majority, and parts and arms suppliers must be Popping champagne to celebrate, these people don't care what humanitarian crisis the war creates.
