"Opening 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne (

On November 14, 1866, Dutch Foreign Minister Heisbet Von explained to the interior minister Jonrell and others in the Privy Council that the Lincoln government would issue a détente to the South, and was prepared to start peace talks with the conditions. explained, and pointed out that the Lincoln administration was a one-shot strategy.

"Actually, after several years of war, southern agricultural plantation owners are tired of the devastation caused by the war, and the economy is in shambles.

The appeal of the Lincoln government today is undoubtedly a solution to the unity of the South. Whether it is from the general idea of ​​unity in the history of the country to fight against the British and independence, or from the practical aspect of the benefits of the armistice, it will undoubtedly give support to the advocates. Unprecedented pressure on the Davis government of war"

"good"

Prime Minister Tolbeck praised the passage: "Lincoln's government is not just looking to ease the South and deal with the North, he has a deeper idea,"

Seeing that many people looked at him and their eyes fell on him, Tolbeck glanced at William IV with a deep meaning. Seeing that his eyes were calm, he obviously neither showed interest nor ignored what he was going to say next. , incomprehensible.

Secretly sighed that the thoughts of His Majesty William IV are becoming more and more elusive, and it is obvious that the means of managing the country's subordinates have become more sophisticated.

Putting this thought aside, he said: "Actually, secondly, since the Lincoln government has found a righteous and dignified reason for attacking the South in the future, it is similar to the Qing-Jun side, only looking for trouble with the Davis government, obviously Separate the Davis government from their southerners.

Where there are people, there are interests, and the interests are not the same, so although it is not obvious at present, over time, this interest dispute will be revealed, and then maybe when there is a choice, the southerners will face the sugar-coated north. - Cannon-ball, dissatisfaction with the Davis administration would deepen, eventually breaking out into internal strife, and would even lead the North of Lincoln's administration to intervene. That's Lincoln's long-term purpose."

Following Tolbeck's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement, and William IV also praised Tolbek's analysis.

This was one of the methods that Milliken used to create turmoil in various countries. Unexpectedly, the Lincoln government began to use it at this time.

The second is like this, so what is the third?

Everyone, including William IV, was a little interested.

"Thirdly, I actually think that this time the Lincoln government launched a war against Britain, and there must be a reason for it to happen suddenly."

Is not this nonsensical? Nothing happens in this world for no reason.

However, he did not dare to say this.

Tolbek clearly understood this, "Actually, I think that the Lincoln government was defending its progress and attacking Britain in order to obtain conditions for negotiating with Britain, and in the end the Lincoln government clearly realized that the only thing that caused Britain to feel pain was the Only after I feel distressed will I stop supporting the Confederate countries and sit down and negotiate with the Lincoln government to resolve the Confederate countries."

"What the Prime Minister means is that the Lincoln government is preparing to use war to promote peace, and now occupying British Columbia and Alberta, etc., is only to provide the most powerful bargaining chip with the United Kingdom in the future?"

The speaker was Jane von Capelo, the Dutch Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Tolbeck smiled at his God of Wealth, and said, "That's what I mean in general."

The Dutch Justice Minister Ross frowned and said: "In this way, the Lincoln government may therefore, perhaps in the subsequent negotiations, may be in a multi-pronged approach to the Confederate States of the South, which is likely to compress the development of the South. Space, this is a bit inconsistent with the North American policy we specified before. After all, we are actually in North America, except for Du Milijian's difference in the issue of friendly attitude. In fact, we have similar concerns with the United Kingdom, and neither of us want to see one. The overly powerful United States of America does not want to see the emergence of a United States of America that integrates the North and the South.

This is very crucial to the dominant position of the Netherlands in the future cooperation with the Commonwealth of America. After all, the Netherlands is currently unable to match the other in terms of size and population. Therefore, we need to prepare for this and be wary of the Netherlands becoming the other side in the future. After becoming strong, things happen that one's own status declines"

There are only about 10 million white Dutch people, which is less than one-third of the 32 million people in the integrated Millikin, unless the 20 million African indigenous people and the East Indian indigenous people are added. The use of these 20 million people of color in this way is the biggest problem for the Dutch government at present, and it is also the reason why the Dutch government has recently held frequent meetings of the Privy Council and the Tolbeck Cabinet.

Because, the leader of all this, William IV, asked for a formal decision before the end of this year.

William IV saw the topic unfold.

Dao: "Actually, there are other reasons for the Lincoln government to attack the British and Canadian overseas territories in such a hurry.

Everyone including Tolbek looked over.

"I recently looked at the development history of countries in Europe and the Americas, but I observed that some countries played in that fast and entered a high-speed stage, some countries remained unchanged, and some countries entered a retrogression.

The agricultural economy of the Tsarist Russian Empire followed the reform of Alexander II. Although it was not thorough, it also entered the early stage of industrialization. The economy developed rapidly, and its scale was already comparable to that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, second only to Britain, France, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Commonwealth of America. China is ranked 7th~lightnovelpub.net~ Our Netherlands is ranked 8th.

Britain's several years of war have made the domestic arms business booming, but the industrial economy has shrunk, so it has only grown slowly in the past four years.

The development of the Kingdom of Prussia is second only to the Netherlands in Europe. Their wars were short-lived but quickly achieved results. The damage to the economy was negligible. After France, Austria-Hungary, Milan, and Tsarist Russia, it is now almost the same territory of the German Confederation except for Austria. The rapid growth of population and territory has made their economic scale enter the third place, surpassing Austria in one fell swoop. The Hungarian, Milician Federation, and the Tsarist Russia Empire almost rivaled the French Empire, which made the surrounding countries feel the sudden pressure of no matter whether it was economic or military.

The reindustrialization of France has also made the economy progress at a moderate pace, but Napoleon III has been troubled by Prussian pressure lately...

The scale of economic development of the United States of America in recent years has not grown, but has shrunk. Obviously, the economic development driven by the movement of industrial self-sufficiency caused by the war that started in 1861 began to decline after reaching its peak in 1864. This put a lot of pressure on Lincoln, so in order to improve the economic development dilemma, this time, the corresponding provocative war was really a last resort."

......

On November 20, 1866, when the focus of all countries was on North America, and when the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth of America were ready to fight, France crossed the border westward in South Vietnam and launched a small war on the Cambodian area in the east of the Siam Empire. It was discovered by Dutch reporters, and it was reported all at once, attracting the attention of the world, and the Far East fell into the field of vision of European and American countries.
