Chapter 359

On December 15, 1867, when British Prime Minister Disraeli was asked whether Britain would intervene in the French invasion of the Kingdom of Siam, he stated that the British cabinet government had no intention of sending troops to participate.

At present, the main focus of the UK is on the Indian subcontinent and Myanmar, at least, the UK will not do so at the moment.

This made the international community created by the Netherlands to jointly press the French Empire, which seemed to be relieved in an instant, which made Napoleon III overjoyed.

The next day, Prime Minister Bismarck of the Kingdom of Prussia also stated that the Kingdom of Prussia would be in harmony with its neighbors and would not participate in the ongoing war in the Kingdom of Siam. Prussia would continue to develop normal relations with the French Empire.

On the same day, Lincoln, President of the Commonwealth of Millikin, also stated that he would not wage war against the French Empire. He said that Millikin and France have a deep history, and that Millikin would not conduct economic activities, including economic activities, with the French Empire unless his core interests were involved. All sanctions including restrictions.

He also stated that he would therefore negotiate with the Kingdom of Prussia about the French Empire's invasion of the Kingdom of Siam, exchange views between the two countries, maintain a neutral position, and coordinate their views.

The Commonwealth of America has always had close relations with the Netherlands. Not long ago, it also signed the Pacific Economic Cooperation Agreement, which was signed by Lincoln himself.

The statement at this time is tantamount to announcing that the relationship between the United States of America and the Netherlands is split.

This is tantamount to making things worse for the Netherlands. It seems that in an instant, the international environment of the Netherlands has deteriorated.

Many experts speculate that this is due to the rapid development of the Netherlands' national strength in recent years, and the speed of its rise has made all major powers feel threatened and made all countries fearful.

It may be that Britain and Prussia and the Commonwealth of America are beating Holland with a tacit understanding.

It seems that with the statements of several major powers such as Britain and Prussia, the members of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, led by the Netherlands, have come under pressure.

In the final analysis, it is awe-inspiring to rush forward in one breath, but when it comes to resting on a half-slope, it is very likely that many people will retreat.

With Britain and Prussia speaking out, many members of the International Court of Justice in The Hague seem to be starting to back off.

Countries have stated that they will not send troops to participate, but they have not lifted the economic sanctions against the French Empire.

On December 20, 1867, Andrew Johnson, the Speaker of the United States of America Senator, accepted the European Times, he said that he would continue the friendship between the United States of America and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and he did not think that the United States of America had relations with the Netherlands. What good is it for the Commonwealth of Millikin, so as the Vice President and the President of the Senate, he has the responsibility to promote the friendship between the two countries. At the same time, he also said that he will promote the communication between the Senate and the Dutch Senate, these are not affected by the cabinet government.

With the remarks of President Andrew and the publication of the "European Times", the world immediately saw differences in the foreign policy of the president and vice president of the Commonwealth of Millikin.

This is of great interest to countries.

As a result, the protagonist of the French Empire's invasion of the Kingdom of Siam seems to be selectively placed in a corner by various countries.

However, just when he thought that a good show would be staged in a fight for power and profit between the two, the Secretary of State of the United States of America, Seward, came forward and accused Vice President Andrew that this behavior was ultra vires.

"I don't understand why our vice president would choose to stand up at this time. If he thinks the Netherlands is a friendly partner, our House of Representatives will work on it. The Senate is now in an unknown meeting with the White House and the White House. It is an act of seizing power to open the Senate's external window without authorization. Our diplomats are very dissatisfied with this.

Ask Vice President Andrew to stop interfering with the powers of the State-Wu-House, a dedicated foreign ministry. "

President Lincoln's White House butler also expressed in an interview that the president was very dissatisfied with Vice President Andrew's actions, "The president is very puzzled by the actions of his good partner, Vice President Andrew, and is also surprised that the Senate has expanded its powers in such a grand manner. , Mr. President complained privately that Andrew's actions would spark a dispute among cabinet members, and he suggested that the struggle between Vice President Andrew and Secretary Seward would become clear."

As expected of the housekeeper of the White House, he knew much more news than Puro.

December 23, the day before Christmas Eve.

Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and Secretary of Education Galant joined the ranks of Secretary Seward in expressing their dissatisfaction with Vice President Andrew and asking Vice President Andrew to stop this bad behavior.

On the same day, Treasurer James Speed ​​and Attorney Matty Grice, two cabinet members, refuted this and expressed their support for Speaker Andrew.

At this time, the relationship network of the cabinet government of the United States of America was finally exposed.

The above two factions have a clear line, German and Dutch.

It is understandable why there is a contradiction.

Obviously, Prussia's unfriendly attitude towards the Netherlands has already affected places outside Europe, and its influence has even reached the cabinet government of the Commonwealth of Millikin.

At the same time, countries are also surprised by the strong ethnic control of the two governments over the United States of America.

After the Civil War, Britain almost migrated to the Confederate States, so its influence in the Northern Commonwealth was low and the population was too small.

The citizens of the French Empire are arrogant~www.mtlnovel.com~ look down on the wilderness of the United States of America, so at this time there are very few French people. The Irish people are the most persecuted and persecuted by the British, accounting for more than 5 million people, and the Germans occupy the second place with 400 people. There are 3.5 million Latinos, 3 million blacks, more than 1.2 million Dutch, 900,000 Swedish, 700,000 Hispanics, 800,000 Italians, 600,000 Danish, 600,000 English and Scots together, and 600,000 other ethnic groups. The combined population is more than 2.7 million.

Just when everyone thought it was a battle between the two races, Irish Post Minister Larry O'Brien, Agriculture Minister: Galant, Home Secretary Elihu B. Washburn Instead, he stood up to support Secretary Seward's position, recognizing that the Commonwealth of America should work with Prussia instead of the Netherlands' foreign policy.

This makes it no longer easy for countries, because these people are all members of the cabinet of Irish descent. What's more, they are of Irish descent like President Lincoln. These people are Lincoln's right-hand man. Among them, Eli Hugh B. Washburn is one of Lincoln's favorite successors.

Their statement indicates that President Lincoln's position is no longer neutral, or that he has joined the German side, which is definitely one of the biggest variables.

In the face of such a formidable opponent, can the Dutch make a comeback?
