Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

v3 Chapter 376: North American conspiracy

April 20, 1868, late at night.

In North America, in a grocery store in an alley in Washington, three young and middle-aged men are gathering together, talking in a low voice with gloomy faces.

The slightly older middle-aged man among the three asked, "John Wilkes Booth, how is the situation?"

"Don't worry, everything is going very well and it's going according to plan. Both Prussian and Irish people have become people to be wary of. Now even without our guidance, I'm afraid they will protest spontaneously," John Wilkes Booth replied with a smile road.

"You can't be careless. The more critical the moment, the more careful you need to be. Many accidents in the world often happen at this time."

"John Wilkes Booth's anger didn't attract the attention of others?" the older man asked with concern.

"Don't worry, Erich! I am now a patriotic little businessman from Berlin, Prussia, and whatever I do now will be in line with what we need to do."

On the surface, the Dutch blocked the actions of Prussia and Ireland in the parliament, so that the Irish-born President Lincoln was ready to fire Secretary of State Seward. This news has been widely circulated in Europe and the United States.

As a patriotic businessman who loves Prussia, in this case, it is normal for me to be hostile to the Dutch, and it is right for me to be hostile to the Irish. I couldn't help but feel patriotic in my heart. In anger, I drew a gun to Lincoln.. ....

It's logically passable and won't attract anyone's attention."

John Wilkes Booth explained.

It seems that drawing a gun at a person and shooting 2 is a normal thing for him.

For the sake of profit, the capitalists advocated attacking other countries to obtain a large number of arms orders, and a Prussian youth who was stunned by the patriotic heat retaliated against the anti-Prussians was nothing.

"That's good, don't worry, since we have entered our industry, the most important thing is to keep our secrets and try our best to protect ourselves. At the same time as we finish the task at hand, we still need to retreat completely, and we must remember not to be greedy for success. "

The older middle-aged man asked another man next to John Wilkes Booth, "Powell, where is your mission?"

"The plan is all right, but due to the gap in identity, it has not been smooth for me to be a neighbor at Seward's house recently and want to get close to each other. However, as a federal retired soldier, his family is not very suspicious of me. Recently Seward often went to the new hotel more frequently, and when it was revealed later, when my parents belonged to the southern state of Texas, no one would guess the motive in terms of identity.

"Don't worry at the moment, you can go deeper and deeper. The internal struggle in the Commonwealth of Millikin is getting more and more fierce, and some are beyond their imagination. Now is the best time for us to lurch. Now we just need to wait for Amsterdam's instructions. That's it."

"I said, Mr. Frank, if we really kill two people this time, the Congress of the United States of America won't collapse? You know, the European powers have been watching this place for a long time."

"That's not something we should worry about. Naturally, the people above will take care of it."

......

London, Buckingham Palace, after the British royal family held a reception banquet, as people think, Queen Victoria really held a face-to-face meeting with William IV.

The meeting took place in the Queen's Saloon at Buckingham Palace, England.

On the Dutch side, William IV was accompanied by Foreign Minister Heisbert Von and Dutch Director of International Intelligence Mike Sean.

On the British side, Queen Victoria was accompanied by Foreign Secretary Russell and Prime Minister Disraeli.

Originally, the British should have the same position, but because Russell came from the opposition party, Disraeli finally decided to go out himself.

The reason why Disraeli insisted on coming is that the two of them met for the first time. Knowing more about William IV could allow Disraeli to make his own decisions accordingly, instead of listening to the advice from his staff as he is now. and reference materials.

"In Parliament just now, His Majesty William IV performed very well"

As soon as several people were seated, Queen Victoria smiled and opened the topic.

I couldn't hear any irony from the 49-year-old Queen of England. This made William IV relieved, and at the same time, he praised the other party's ability to cover up his emotions. He secretly praised the fact that he has ruled Britain for more than 30 years. King, this concentration is not comparable to ordinary people.

"No no no, it can only be said that the British MPs are as lovely as the Dutch MPs"

What's the meaning? cute?

Russell was stunned for a moment, and then said with a half-smile, "If that's the case, otherwise, the UK and the Netherlands will become one country. After all, they are so similar, but in terms of governance, it can save a lot of personnel and a fortune. Fiscal Expenditure"

William IV was stunned for a moment, seeing Ross's slightly narrowed eyes, and thinking to himself: Being able to dominate the political arena of the British Empire for decades is really not a feat.

"The parliamentarians are somewhat similar, but the people are somewhat different," William IV hurriedly said.

Obviously, he chose to take a step back.

However, before Russell spoke, Disraeli followed suit and said, "I don't agree with what His Majesty William said, don't forget that the Kingdom of Prussia is now annexing the German Confederation, and most of it has been integrated, so continue as it is. , it won’t take long to digest it. You must know that there are nearly 30 members of the German Confederation like Prussia. Prussia can make their people a group. Britain and the Netherlands were still in the 18th century when a king ruled the country. With such a fate, what is there to worry about when the Netherlands merges with the UK?"

A look of hesitation appeared on William IV's face.

Disraeli was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately followed: "During the just-concluded World Expo of the French Empire~lightnovelpub.net~ Britain and the Netherlands have the same views in the field of science and technology. It is the protagonist. Obviously, the people of the UK and the Netherlands have a better foundation in terms of integration, and in terms of culture, there is a lot of interaction between the two peoples. For example, the newspapers of the two countries almost always treat each other positively when they report on each other , instead of adding smears like in some countries. British novels are very popular in the Netherlands, and Dutch painters are very popular in the UK, especially Vincent van Gogh, a new rising artist in the Netherlands who has captured the London aristocracy. and the love of ladies."

Queen Victoria also said at this time: "Van Gogh's paintings are full of natural compassion and sense of suffering, giving people a sense of identity."

"Vincent is still young, so he can't stand such a compliment, but when it comes to the sense of substitution, I prefer French painters. You must know that French flower beds are the center of the world's painting world. Many people who study painting in the Netherlands have Holy Land, of course, England is also a place where Dutch writers yearn for.”

William IV laughed, and after being modest, he said: "However, the prosperity of Britain is what the world yearns for. The Netherlands is currently catching up, but we believe that one day it will reach the other side."

politely refuse?

But it was as expected by everyone.
