v3 Chapter 297： To deal with the enemy, we must hug him tightly

On May 3, 1867, William IV of the Kingdom of the Netherlands sent a mission from the Far East to Japan in the Far East, with the purpose of strengthening the economic cooperation between the two countries. , especially economic cooperation in the Far East.

After landing in Japan's East-jing on the 7th, Hall's arrival was highly valued by the Emperor Meiji, but also because he had to ignore it. A gust of wind from the Netherlands in Europe to sanction the French Empire blew all the countries around the world. .

He sees all of these, so he has almost put the Netherlands in the same position as the United Kingdom. After all, a strong and independent United Kingdom, and a Kingdom of the Netherlands that has successfully formed a team and this team is no weaker than the United Kingdom, how dare he dare Look down on each other.

After the Mei-Ji-Ten-Kangzha Hall and others visited, they sent their competent men Toshitsu Akubo, Takamori Saigo, and Takayuki Kido to meet with Hall and others respectively. Hall naturally knew that the three in front of him were. In addition to the most powerful person after the Emperor-Emperor-Ming-government, Riben did not appear to be white-human-supreme-supreme.

So when these three faced the white people in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, one of the world's great powers, with trepidation, these people launched the Netherlands as the initiative, and they could only passively negotiate. In the end, they firmly grasped the initiative. Hall and others finally won the active economic benefits, and of course, the political-task ordered by Amsterdam was not forgotten.

The Dutch delegation finally reached an agreement on economic cooperation in the Far East with Japan. Japan in the Far East has once again become a supplier of labor and resources to the Netherlands, and has become one of the first raw materials for the construction of the Far East by William IV.

Seeing that the Netherlands' actions in the Far East have achieved great results, the United States of America also began to join the ranks of the Netherlands and sent Secretary Seward to visit Tokyo-Beijing.

"Your Majesty, with the signing of the peace agreement with the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth of Millikin is starting to get restless." Tolbeck frowned, a little dissatisfied in his heart.

"As I said, it would be in our best interest to stop them from the three-way peace talks and continue fighting."

William IV smiled bitterly. He even almost quarreled with Tolbeck over this matter, but in the end, when he said that the French Empire and the Prussian Kingdom were too powerful, England was too weak, which was not good for the Netherlands. After analyzing the benefits, he reluctantly gave up.

I don't want to, now that the Lincoln government of the Commonwealth of America is following the trend, the prime minister's temper is coming again.

However, I have to admit that what President Lincoln of the United States of America did is indeed a bit unkind.

The UK hasn't started yet, so you can't wait to start.

William IV changed the subject and said: "Lincoln is not a simple person. I am actually very jealous of him."

Tolbek was successfully distracted, and praised:

"Naturally it's not easy. A slave emancipation law is enough to make the North and the man invincible. After all, there are black slaves everywhere in the South, which has almost disintegrated the strength of the South from the inside. The cohesion has also increased, and he has also gained prestige, which is an extraordinary means.

It's a pity that he is from the Commonwealth of America, if the Commonwealth of America really wants to implement Secretary Seward's policy of going west to the Pacific"

Speaking of this, Tolbeck said with an ugly face: "Sooner or later, they will compete with us, so we need to be prepared."

William IV nodded and agreed with Tolbeck's words.

Gu Yun

In fact, he knew better than anyone else in this era that going west was their future national policy, and that Seward and Lincoln were just the founders,

The subsequent powers of Millician will be under the inability to expand the Atlantic Ocean (in fact, they have been occupied by European countries and cannot be expanded), but the Pacific Ocean is a land to be developed, at least in their view, it should be easier to start. There was a lot of land grabs, or else it would not have taken the Philippines from Spain at the end of the 19th century when the Commonwealth of Millikin saw that Spain was weak, and previously won the Hawaiian Islands from Britain, France and other countries.

Therefore, William IV, who is familiar with history, is wary of the Commonwealth of Millikin, and it can be said that it ranks third after the United Kingdom and Prussia, and even before the French Empire led by Napoleon III.

William IV sighed: "Lincoln was born to take a political job, and his methods are not only these, he is also unparalleled in the boldness of his political enemies."

Seeing that Tolbeck was unknown, William IV began to explain.

In 1861, when Lincoln, who had just come to power, was pushed to power in the face of southern dissatisfaction, the threat to his life was so dangerous that he had to sneak into Washington.

The situation of the military confrontation between the North and the South was getting more and more serious and dangerous, and it was more and more worrying. When Lincoln reached Washington, he looked out at the Pitomac River and looked at the flag of the Confederacy over Fort Alexander. It was at a time when those loyal to the federal government felt increasingly at risk, and as the first to lead this one there were two conflicting forces, those who strongly advocated the abolition of slavery and those of the old Whigs who remained in the Commonwealth. The Communist Party, which is a brand-new political party composed of people, is his party, and he must maintain the faction-faction within the party.

Only by uniting all the people can we maintain the unity of the whole country.

In this and the process, he did not use his own party members in the formation of the cabinet. When he selected cabinet members, he not only selected his staunch followers, but also decided to bring his own enemies on board. Coming to help each other, he elected Salmon Chase, known for his fanatical radicalism, and William Seward, known for his cautiousness, to the cabinet government.

Among his vastly disparate cabinet members, there are only two things in common: each of them hates the others; and each of them thinks he is a better fit for the position and the presidency than Lincoln.~www.novelhall .com~ they can't wait to eat you" someone reminded him.

"Each of them seemed to want to kill everyone else in the same way," Lincoln replied with the witty humor of a political veteran at the time.

With Lincoln's shrewdness and tenacity, he has enough ability to find powerful people under his command, and arrange suitable positions for them to heal himself. Supervising under his own eyes, this way is better supervision and prevention, instead of being confused and unable to guard against it. .

William IV said of this, "Hold your friends tight, but you must hug your enemies tighter enough that they cannot move even a single bit."

Good trick!

So incisive.

Tolbeck looked at William IV in admiration.

The latter shook his head and said, "Although I summed it up, this is Lincoln's method."

The monarchs and ministers between the two talked, but President Lincoln in Millikin did not know that he had been missed.
