v3 Chapter 352： Impeachment failed!

On February 15, 1868, Congressmen of the Nationalist Party of the United States of America initiated the impeachment of President Lincoln in the House of Representatives, and listed 11 counts of President Lincoln. After the vote on the day, Speaker of the House Skyler Colfax announced the success of the impeachment after the counting of votes. Among the 230 members of the House of Representatives (100,000 members were born with 1 House vote), they voted for the impeachment. The number was more than two-thirds, reaching 165 MPs.

The Senate accepted the case and tried it on February 25. After a final vote, President Lincoln was acquitted by one vote. This is an actual exercise of the presidential stripes stipulated in the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Millikin. If the president is impeached, it may greatly weaken the power of the president, and even destroy the presidential system of the Commonwealth of Millikin. This case is of great significance. The practical example of the mutual checks and balances between the three states - the separation of powers and the establishment of powers is also a typical example of the political conflict resolved by the bronze drum legal process within the Commonwealth of Millikin.

Lincoln seemed to be knocked down, but in the end, it was because of a one-vote difference that he regained the victory. There were many people who sighed and many people who were happy.

The Kingdom of Prussia, Berlin, and Bismarck have been restless these days, always feeling that something is going to happen, but they have no clue.

"Could it be that I'm really getting old, and my energy has dropped recently?"

Bismarck couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face, but when he thought of the current prosperity of Prussia, he had the feeling of an old man with a long-term ambition.

"If Prussia can't become an empire in one day, how can I be reconciled? There is also Napoleon III of the French Empire, who seems to be beautiful, just like a grasshopper in the autumn, but it's just a matter of anyone's choice. At present, Queen Victoria's mentality in the United Kingdom is somewhat different. It is difficult to understand, and a woman who is a widow is even more difficult to understand.”

Bismarck went on to think of Alexander II in the east, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he sneered: "The Tsarist Empire seems to be strong, but in fact, the eldest son has died of meningitis. Flow-sex-sex is not well-reviewed in St. Petersburg, but now, the combination with the Danish princess makes me a little elusive, what does Alexander II want to say?"

Bismarck never believed that all things grow for no reason. He was a smart person, and smart people often think about places that others can't, especially in Europe, when the sky is full of politics. He doesn't believe that Alexander II was unintentionally emotional. It really seems to be published because the deceased son's fiancee captured the "hearts" of their whole family with a few letters. This is pure nonsense.

Bismarck even speculated that Alexander II was stubborn about the Baltic Sea, greedy, and intended to expand the Baltic Sea's dominion.

"I can't test the emperor in St. Petersburg. If he really wants to, Prussia must cut out Alexander II to prevent Prussia from being attacked by the enemy."

Bismarck thought of the legendary assassination, which is currently the only one that can keep Prussia out of the way. He even thought about it a long time ago, using those dissatisfied with Alexander II's domestic reforms in the Tsarist Russian Empire to make this cover up.

"What worries me the most is the Netherlands in the west, in addition to the UK."

Whenever Bismarck recalled the speed of the rise of the Netherlands in the past ten years, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The Netherlands has developed into the current European reserve power in just ten years. Although it is still a long way from Prussia, it is only a difference in population. However, with the development of the Netherlands, while the European countries are fighting each other, the gap between the Netherlands and the European countries will change.

This is the last thing Bismarck wants to see. In his plan, the Netherlands will be a fertile land for the future king of Prussia to annex and expand his own strength. Although at present, due to the French Empire, Prussia will not act rashly, but when France Is the empire defeated?

At that time, the Netherlands and Belgium will be the targets of Prussia. Bismarck believes that if Prussia takes these two western Atlantic coast countries, with the long coastlines of the neighboring countries, the Kingdom of Prussia will not be trapped in the southern part of Denmark. Aid the coastline of the Kingdom of Hanover.

Prussia at that time would have faced the sea empire of Great Britain with this. Only then will Prussia really be able to compete with Britain.

Therefore, Bismarck's position in the Netherlands was actually viewed from the very beginning as the future territory of Prussia, but the Netherlands is now rapidly developing into an economic power and a technology power. The Far East is booming.

There are more than 10 million Dutch people. At present, there are more than 6 million people living in the Far East, and only about 4 million people in the mainland.

"If Prussia takes action now, I believe that if France, Britain and other countries do not intervene, it may take less than a month to take over the Netherlands." Bismarck couldn't help but sigh:

"However, now the Netherlands even has a home in the Far East, and looking at the situation, the Far East is even more powerful by the mainland. If Prussia launches an attack on the mainland of the Netherlands, with the gradual development of the Netherlands in the Far East, it will not be weaker than the national strength of the mainland. , Prussia will face a strong counterattack from the Netherlands in the future. At that time, can Prussia be able to withstand it? At least in addition to Europe, Africa and the Middle East, Prussia will definitely not be the opponent of the Netherlands.”

Bismarck even suspected that Queen Victoria and the Viscount Palmerston had already seen through the ambitions of him and William I and others when they traded Australia to the Netherlands, so they did it on purpose.

However, when he thought about the stinginess of Britain, Bismarck finally put this idea down.

He frowned and sighed: "In the current situation of the Commonwealth of Millikin, the combination of Germans and Irish people is very difficult. I didn't expect the Dutch to operate so firmly there that it would be difficult to break the Dutch with the Irish. The power in North America originally wanted to slowly erode the strength of the Netherlands, and finally when it was almost unloaded, when the Netherlands was brought under the banner of Prussia, it seems that it has to be reconsidered, otherwise, there may be troubles.

Now, I hope, there is good news from Seward."

at this time. The secretary walked in quickly and brought him good news.

The Commonwealth of America failed to impeach Lincoln, but Seward continued to serve as secretary of state.

Bismarck took a deep breath and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Bismarck sneered: "Miliken has finally settled down, Dutch. Next, he will face Lincoln's autumn reckoning."

The Dutch royal palace William IV also sneered after hearing the news.

"In this world, there are always some people who think that the victory is in their hands, but I don't know. In fact, victory and defeat are often reversed in an instant. Bismarck, Bismarck, maybe you are relieved, but you don't know that this is actually just the beginning of your bad luck. Just wait and see."
