v3 Chapter 365： The anti-universal consensus of the American government and opposition?

April 10, 1868, United States of America.

Last month, after Secretary of Education Galant fell to his death on a horse, the position of Education Secretary was vacant. President Lincoln formally nominated new cabinet members to the Senate for the first time after the passage of the House and Senate Committee Act. Unexpectedly and unexpectedly, the nomination was rejected, which shocked the world.

The power of the Senate suddenly reached its peak.

The development of the situation in the Commonwealth of America caused a loud noise in Europe.

The Lincoln administration was castrated, a lame duck without the support of the Senate and House of Representatives.

The Netherlands was not favored by people before, and now it is not favored by people. The government of Lincoln's cabinet is about to be elected at the end of the year. At this time, when Lincoln's second term is about to end, everyone can't help but feel sorry for him.

After all, if he hadn't turned against the Netherlands, perhaps with the popular opinion of one of the people before him, he might have been famous for thousands of years, but the self-inflicted sin of the last one-year term has become the greatest power in the history of the Commonwealth of America. The president of the future may become a person who is laughable and generous in future generations.

For this reason, in the end, Lincoln had to slightly change his overall pro-German bias and chose to be close to neutrality.

Therefore, many people have taken the opportunity to start preparing for the general election at the end of the year.

The two parties began to attack each other.

Many people in the Commonwealth of America believe that the main reason for the deterioration of internal relations in the Commonwealth of America is Prussia.

Among them, during the debate between the Democratic Party and the Communist Party, the Prussian Army intervened in Milliken's internal affairs, Prussia penetrated the American industry, and Prussia supported the rise of Germans in Milliken to enter politics.

In addition to public debates in newspapers for the whole country, both the ruling and opposition parties have also begun to actively launch campaign campaigns in major ethnic communities.

Several newspapers have reported that, as Lincoln began to accept the fact that the Senate and the House of Representatives had **** him, Lincoln began to adjust the direction of his diplomacy, changing his policy toward Prussia, thus worsening the relationship between the United States and Prussia. The number of racist incidents against Germans in society is on the rise.

U.S. Senate Minority Democratic Leader xi-u Stephen C. Douglas said in an interview with The New York Times that he felt he could use a better diplomatic approach to Prussia without sacrificing the security and sovereignty of the Commonwealth of America.

During the activities of the German-American community, relations with Puerto Rico surpassed important issues such as cost of living and trade relations, and became the hottest topic of discussion.

"It's the fault of the Kingdom of Prussia," Stephen C. Douglas replied.

Although the gangs of the ruling and opposition parties attacked each other on the issue of relations with Prussia, the tone of accusing Prussia is the same. The difference lies in how to continue to handle bilateral relations and how to deal with Prussia's growing influence in North America.

Although it is not stated explicitly, it is clear that the influence here refers to the German-born cabinet government officials supported by the Prussian royal family such as Secretary Siward and other officials.

In this matter, Stephen. Douglas accused the Communist Party, which had only become the ruling party for its second term, to be overtaken by Germans, and should be called the German-American Party.

Facing Stephen. Douglas's questioning, President Lincoln retorted, accusing Stephen. Douglas's Democratic Party often sided with Prussia and questioned Stephen. Douglas and the Democratic Party, during the import and export trade between the Commonwealth of America and the Kingdom of Prussia, which party's state has more trade volume and trade volume with Prussia, and who has more contacts with the Kingdom of Prussia.

"The situation in the Commonwealth of America has now formed a front against the expansion of the influence of the Kingdom of Prussia in the Commonwealth of America"

Stephen. Douglas said, "The relationship between the US and Prussia does not depend on the United States, but on the Kingdom of Prussia. Of course, especially the relationship between Prussia and their neighboring countries has spilled over to the United States. Everyone knows that the United States is all immigrants."

On April 12, Democratic Party Senator Bragg and Democratic Party Shadow Attorney General Mark R. Assemblyman Revers pitched his platform to the Dutch community at a Dutch community campaign event in New York City.

In the question-and-answer session, when someone asked five of the nine questions, they all involved relations with Prussia, including trade, politics, and geo-security issues with Prussia.

During the debate between the two parties in the Senate Joint Conference on the same day, Lincoln and Stephen. Douglas had a heated debate on the national security of the United States and the relationship with Prussia. Douglas, the leader of the Democratic Party, criticized the Communist Party for disturbing the balance in Prussia and the United States, which caused people's distrust of the cabinet government within us, thus causing credibility. The damage was the biggest diplomatic failure in the nearly 100-year history of the founding of the Commonwealth of America.

Lincoln and Stephen. The Douglas debate sparked even greater heat.

On April 13, 1868, a piece of news broke out by the New York Post, which aroused America's vigilance against Prussia.

It turned out that on the last day of March, Prussia secretly signed a security agreement with Mexico, and Prussia would send more than 5,000 Haraburn Ricks stationed in southeastern Mexico to Mexico.

And in the south of it, is southern Mexico, which the Austro-Hungarian Empire used to help Maximilian I avenge the occupation.

Since this news is secret and not many people in the world know about it, when the "New York Post" announced it not only in Europe, but also in the Commonwealth of America, it also caused a shock.

After the news of the security pact signed by Prussia and the Commonwealth of America and the garrison of troops, no one would think that guarding against Prussia was a cause for concern.

This time, even Secretary Seward did not dare to speak again, because facts speak louder than words, and Lincoln was even more reluctant to argue for Germans, and even expressed remorse in private.

The United States began to warm up with the general election in April, and how to handle its relationship with Prussia has become a topic of heated discussion and debate among the media and candidates.

"When criticism of Prussia begins in America, the Prussian government should be distinguished from the German community who lived here and contributed significantly to the Commonwealth of America"

But all politicians, including Lincoln, seem to deliberately distance themselves from Germans for their own ethnic and personal interests. Even Seward, the German, was silent and no longer defended. , Senate President and Vice President Andrew. Johnson stood up, unexpectedly, and helped the German-American to defend himself. Isn't he the one who should launch a victorious pursuit of the Germans?

And when Bismarck in Prussia arrived at this time, he still didn't understand what happened.

"A good William IV, and a good American Vice President Andrew, this drama is getting more and more like."

Bismarck suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said angrily: "No, I'm so brave, that's the idea."
