Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

v3 Chapter 299: Your Majesty wants to attack Millikin's

The White House continued to stage the republican-party cabinet faction drama, but in Amsterdam William IV quickly learned.

"At present, in the cabinet government of the Commonwealth of America, headed by President Lincoln, Secretary of the Interior Eli Hugh B. Washburn, Secretary of Agriculture Galant, Secretary of the Post Office Larry O'Brien supplemented by Irish-born for the most powerful faction.

The second is the Dutch, headed by Vice President Andrew Johnson, supported by Finance Minister James Speed ​​and Attorney General Marty Grice.

The third is German, headed by Secretary of State Seward, and supplemented by Secretary of War (later changed to Secretary of Defense) Edwin Stanton and Minister of Education Galant.

The fourth is the Hispanic Industry Minister Mayorcas and the Italian-American Energy Minister Granholm.

My Prime Minister, what do you think of when you look at this list in front of you? "

William IV looked wisely at Dutch Prime Minister Tolbeck.

The latter paused, and he looked up at William IV. He didn't know when he saw that His Majesty, who had just inherited the throne a few years ago, was unfamiliar with the way of governing the country and needed his own assistance. Compared with the Queen Victoria, Alexander II, Napoleon III, Franz Joseph I, and William I of the five major European countries he had seen before, the aura of the king of the great powers seemed to be a little less conspicuous. Auxiliary Mingzhu, what can I ask for?

He then replied arrogantly: "Your Majesty is interested in President Lincoln's ability to control the cabinet as mentioned earlier? A representative of balancing the interests of all parties, for his use?"

William IV shook his head and looked at him silently, as if waiting for his next answer.

The pride that had just risen was extinguished by the rejection.

Tolbeck calmly glanced at William IV, who was calm.

After a while, Tolbeck felt a move in his heart, as if he had gained something occasionally, and said, "Your Majesty wants to break the balance of the Lincoln Cabinet Government, so that the Lincoln Cabinet Government has no time to care? No?"

Prime Minister Tolbeck exclaimed: "Does His Majesty want to use our knowledge of the results of the Lincoln Cabinet meeting last week to prepare to block the purchase of the Kamchatka Peninsula in the far northeast Pacific Ocean by the Commonwealth of Millikin from the Russian Empire?"

William IV was shocked when he heard that the Commonwealth of Millikin actually wanted to buy the Kamchatka Peninsula in the west of the Bering Sea. This was the final decision made by Lincoln himself after the last Lincoln Cabinet government meeting.

As expected, he was the first person in the list of the greatest figures of the hegemonic country of the Millician Empire in the world for many consecutive years. In this cabinet meeting, he used the Dutch as a knife to cut the German Secretary of State Seward. Prevent his radical westward travel to the Pacific, prepare for conflict and then provide opportunities for the Millikin arms dealer foreign policy.

Gu Yu

At the same time, Lincoln used Germans to deal with Dutch. Although Andrew Johnson, the vice president, did not say a word, no one would think that Treasury Secretary James Speed ​​and Attorney General Marty Grice were no longer him. 's direct allies.

However, he took advantage of Seward's anger and transferred it to the Netherlands. In the end, Seward prevented the Commonwealth of Millikin's participation in the South American Union to sanction the French Empire. In a pretentious name, he used the Secretary of the Treasury James Speed. The original words, that is, the United States of America has just gone through several wars, and it is not suitable to trigger wars with other countries. Therefore, the United States of America should not dance with the Netherlands and other South American countries to offend the French Empire, a major European power.

After the effect was achieved, Lincoln deliberately brought in the neutral Spanish Minister of Energy Granholm and the Hispanic Minister of Industry Mayor Cass to express their opinions. In the end, the two of them needless to say. .

Therefore, they also did not agree that it was against the French Empire, so Secretary Seward seemed to have regained a victory, but the biggest winner was President Lincoln, because all the motions did not seem to be separated from his plan.

Tolbick saw that William IV did not admit his right or wrong, so she asked again: "Secretary Seward, this guy actually proposed to the President to make Japanese ben, to compete with the existence of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Pacific? So we have to unite with Millikin Dutch people in the country suppress Germans?"

William IV smiled, "Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think we should stop this guy. After all, we can't just watch the foreign affairs department of the Commonwealth of Millikin and our Kingdom of the Netherlands go from now to now. Allies turned into enemies, which should never have happened.”

Just when Tolbeck thought that William IV's answer was this, William IV suddenly said: "However, Seward has been secondary recently, the representative of the arms dealer of the Commonwealth of Millikin, and a new one will be launched at any time. people go up"

Isn't that right?

Tolbek's heart was full of curses. He re-examined William IV again and found that in recent years, he had really begun to misestimate the ability of the other party's king. Obviously, it was right for His Majesty William III to abdicate, but the Netherlands was Such a king is needed to lead. He is very much looking forward to what the Netherlands will look like when it becomes stronger? He can safely guess that the day is long gone.

"The secretary of state is nothing more than the representative of the arms dealer?"

Tolbek suddenly thought of something~lightnovelpub.net~ His hands trembled, he raised his head suddenly, and looked at William IV in disbelief.

No, how could His Majesty think that way? If it is true, as long as a little bit of news is revealed, it will cause a great uproar, and even lead to crusades from various countries.

After all, the Commonwealth of Millikin is a gathering of immigrants from various countries. Although these immigrants usually look like abandoned people of various countries, abandoned children of various countries, but that is the idea of ​​ordinary people. Will understand what kind of magic the immigration there.

Not to mention, the rise of the Kingdom of Prussia, many people do not know, in fact, without the help of 2 million Germans in the Commonwealth of Millikin, the Prussian industrial technology was prevented from being realized by the British and French. , absorbing British and French technology from the Commonwealth of Millikin and returning to Berlin, this is the reason for the rise of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Therefore, if the Netherlands just regarded those rules as nothing and ruined the cakes of various countries, then the fate of the Netherlands will definitely be a certain degree of badness, at least not as good as the fate of the United Kingdom in North America, which was supported by European countries in the confrontation with Millikin. How many.

It was because he knew this that he felt heart palpitations for his guess. He even hoped that he was purely guessing, and His Majesty William IV should not do this.
