v3 Chapter 255： The internal division of the South American Union?

On June 17, 1866, the United States of America applied for joining the Union of South America. Because Prime Minister Tolbeck and others were still in Suriname, President Mitre of Argentina mentioned it, and the leaders of the Union of South America held an emergency. Meeting to discuss whether to accept the United States of America as the sixth member of the organization.

"Everyone, I didn't expect that in a short span of two days, our South American Alliance has attracted the attention of the world, and even the United States of America, a major North American country, wants to join our organization. I think, in order to expand the influence of the South American Alliance to North America , may accept the Commonwealth of Millikin as our new colleague"

The speaker was Argentine President Mitre.

Tolbek's eyes narrowed, and then returned to normal. He saw the eyes of Colombian President Mosquera and Ecuadorian President Moreno meet, and the left corner of Tolbek's mouth poked slightly.

Sure enough, Argentina has always been close to Millician in South America, Millician has a lot of investment in Argentina, it is said that both the North and the South have.

At the beginning, Argentina also appealed to the Lincoln administration and the Davis administration to stop the civil war between the North and South in the United States, and even prepared to make the Argentine capital Buenos Aires the venue for peace talks between the United States.

Both the north and the south of Milijian were moved, but unfortunately because he was too confident in the end, he thought that the winning side would be him, and finally rejected Argentina's proposal, so that the final war has not stopped until now.

Argentina, as a reliable partner and investment destination of Millikin, also because of the war in the United States, the joy of increased investment, and because of the instability of the strategy, Mitre began to accept the "covenant" of the Netherlands, which finally led to the establishment of the South American Union .

However, Mitre was unwilling to give up the partner of Milliken. Now, seeing that the Northern Commonwealth had unexpectedly applied to join the South American Union, Mitre was naturally overjoyed.

With the addition of a powerful United States of America, Argentina will be able to rely on hedging when facing the Netherlands.

In Mitre's heart, from the very beginning, although he agreed with Sarmiento that cooperation with the Netherlands would be beneficial to Argentina's development, a long-lasting ally of Argentina, Milician, also produced more benefits for Argentina.

Perhaps compared to the Netherlands, Mitre believes in Milliken more.

Ecuador has always been led by Colombia, so Ecuadorian President Moreno saw Moscela's eyes, so he blurted out a retort: ​​"President Mitre, although everyone is very happy about Millikin's application to join, this represents our organization. The reputation of our organization has become very popular, and it is very appealing to our organization, but I think that if this approves the entry of the United States of America too quickly, will it not have a good impact?"

"Oh, I'd like to hear it. How could it be a bad idea to let the Federal State join the South American Alliance?" Mitre sneered dissatisfiedly.

But the heart is running fast. Ecuador is Colombia's sidekick. This is something that is known to the whole of South America. Now Moreno is obviously opposed to the joining of the United States of America. Seeing Moscela's calm appearance, it is obvious that the two of them It must have been through anger in advance. So, Colombia is also opposed to the Commonwealth of America. How can this be good?

According to the Charter of the South American Union, new member states must obtain the approval and approval of all member states before they can pass and take effect. The five countries, Argentina, where they are now, agree, Ecuador and Colombia behind them are opposed, the Netherlands' position is unclear, Venezuela should No objection, because President Herrera is also said to have received a lot of investment from the Lincoln administration.

In this way, 2 to 2, plus the Netherlands, this negotiation has been blocked.

Seeing that the discolored Mitre showed his dissatisfaction on his face, Moreno deliberately and hypocritically explained: "You must know that the North American Civil War is now at war between the two sides. If the South expressed dissatisfaction with this, what happened then?"

"This" Mitre said for a while.

Moreno continued to be unreasonable: "More than that, you must know that the Confederate States are backed by the United Kingdom. If one is not careful, the United Kingdom may annoy us for accepting the Commonwealth and punish us. going to cry.

After all, the British had just been shot and killed by more than 10,000 British troops in the Richmond War by the Commonwealth of North America. "

Speaking of this, Moreno glanced at Venezuelan President Herrera and Tolbek, and said with a reminder: "British Guiana is in eastern Venezuela and western Suriname, where we are now. There are more than 5,000 troops in the army, if they annoy the other party, what if these 5,000 people are crazy?"

"Well, what I can tell President Moreno is that they will never step into Suriname, and I guarantee this with the honor of Prime Minister of the Netherlands."

Mitre was about to continue speaking, but was stunned by Tolbek's words.

Tolbek stood up and gave a serious warning.

"Although the United Kingdom is strong, it does not mean that it is strong enough to carry out artillery diplomacy without any scruples. After all, if it is so strong, it will not fail again and again on the land of Milliken, and the same is true on the Balkans."

Tolbek said this, his tone slightly slowed down and said to Moreno and President Mosquera next to him: "I just want to say that although the Netherlands is very concerned about the strength of the United Kingdom, it does not think that the United Kingdom will dare to attack the territory of the Netherlands because of this. shot"

This is a kind of self-confidence, which shocked Moreno and Mosquera in their hearts and envied them. Although they did not understand where the confidence of the Dutch Prime Minister came from, it did not prevent their confidence in the Netherlands from increasing unprecedentedly.

Is there anything more reassuring to Colombia and Ecuador than an ally who dares to declare that it is not afraid of Britain?

Therefore, Moscella and Moreno chose to remain silent about the Union of the United States of America.

However, the two were still puzzled in their hearts Prime Minister Tolbek should have understood that Argentina was preparing to add new allies within the South American Union, and the object of checks and balances was the Netherlands. Originally, the two estimated that Tolbek would stand on their side and oppose the entry of the United States of America and dilute the influence of the Netherlands, but now it seems that they, they are wrong, but Tolbek has other ideas. While this made them curious, they no longer objected.

Mitre was also stunned, but was overjoyed. With the disappearance of opposition from Ecuador and Colombia, Tolbek just unexpectedly helped himself to speak. He obviously did not object to the entry of the United States of America into the alliance. Venezuelan President Herrera came out. The famous steered by the wind, this thing is done!

Thinking of the news just now that the Minister of Finance of the Lincoln government, Walburn, was visiting his residence, for a while, he was thinking of waiting for the meeting and asking for more benefits from the other party.
