v3 Chapter 381： The jealousy of Napoleon III

On April 25, 1868, Bismarck called for calm in the government of Andrew Johnson's cabinet in Berlin.

"None of us wanted to see unrest. The death of President Lincoln is very regrettable. We condemn the assassins. Prussia does not want the friendship between Prussia and Millikin to be seriously damaged for the sake of individual people. At the same time, we call for Prussians and Germans who are willing to stay in Milliken, please respect the local laws. At the same time, we also made a statement this time. If you are willing to return to Prussia, you can return to Prussia. We welcome this, great Prussia welcome your return"

Prussia's statement seems to be asking the Andrew government to treat Germans including Prussia kindly, but another appeal is to provide these Germans with another choice. Obviously, Prussia was taking advantage of the opportunity to poach the Germans of Milician, which made people in the Andrew government very dissatisfied.

On April 27, 1868, President Andrew Johnson nominated New York capital tycoon Alton as the new Secretary of State. Due to Milliken's situation, it was voted on the next day in the Senate, which was quickly passed. After all, it was Andrew's. base camp.

Anton became Secretary of State, which made many people in Milliken suddenly change color, and even many high-level European countries showed a solemn color.

Why, it turns out that the new Secretary of State of Anton has a lot of background. He is of Dutch descent, and he is only a second-generation immigrant of Dutch descent. The most important thing is that their Randy family has always been in close contact with the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Grandfather Randy . Alton is currently the Earl of Holland, and his father is currently at the helm of the New York Consortium, the largest consortium in the Commonwealth of America.

It operates oil, coal mines and banking industries in the United States, and has stakes in nearly one-third of the large enterprises in the Commonwealth of America.

The economic giant of the Commonwealth of Millikin.

The second generation of the Randy family has entered a high position in the Andrew government. Obviously, the Randy family is clearly supporting Andrew Johnson. Obviously, this is to help consolidate Andrew Johnson's status.

French Empire, Paris.

"The Netherlands is too smart. It is using the power of the people to control the political power of the Commonwealth of Millikin, which not only avoids the disgust of ordinary Americans, but also silences the mouths of countries that want to intervene."

Prime Minister Olivier sighed: "Your Majesty, the Netherlands has played a good chess move. Prussia and the Netherlands are advancing and retreating one by one. In this way, the strength of the Netherlands in the Commonwealth of Millikin will be further expanded. I'm afraid, now Millikin In the Commonwealth of Nations, the most influential country at present must be the Netherlands.”

Napoleon III was silent for a long time, and he was full of envy in his heart, but he was helpless.

"Similarly, if the French Empire is allowed to do things in the Netherlands, because the French Empire is too powerful, everyone in Milliken is very vigilant, so every move of France will be magnified, making it difficult for France to move an inch. Blame the French Empire. Too strong"

Olivier also agreed very much, "Since Washington launched the Tea Movement to establish the Union of Millikin, Millikin has been very wary of big powers, and our French Empire, in order to win over the Union of Millikin to deal with British hegemony in North America, chose in 1803. In order to sell Louisiana to the Commonwealth of Millikin, Milliken and President Jefferson used this to consolidate the position of the United States of America in North America. Since then, their position in North America has been established. The confrontation between the two countries made the anti-British front between the two countries loosen.

Now Milliken doesn't believe in big powers, that is, the Netherlands fits the image of Milliken's ally. No other big country can take the place of the Netherlands.”

Napoleon III is naturally not a fool. If so, he would not be able to slowly turn over from a desolate nobleman to become the first president of the French Empire, and then restore the Napoleon Dynasty and become the emperor.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said solemnly: "Maybe this is the atmosphere that the Dutch deliberately created?"

Olivier's face changed slightly, and he looked at Napoleon III in disbelief.

"Don't look at me, after these 8 years of dating, are we not familiar with William IV's conspiracy and then his personality during our relationship?"

"After the Franco-Prussian alliance, the Netherlands took this opportunity to win a lot of colonies in Africa and consolidated its position in Africa, which made the United Kingdom temporarily scruple about the law and did not dare to change, and then took advantage of the Tsarist Russian Empire in North America's Alaska Peninsula. Based on this, the UK could only wait in silence for this normal transaction, and even the UK finally feared that the Russian Empire would gain too deep a foothold in the Far East and affect the UK’s dominance there, so it chose to take the western and northern parts of Kalimantan, and Traded out of Queensland to Holland."

Napoleon III paused, then UU read and said: "The Netherlands has advanced their intentions step by step in a planned way, and even before our eyes, they have completed the ants' relocation, and put the Netherlands in a short period of five or six years. In the past few years, 70% of the population has been transferred to the Far East, especially the Australian mainland, which has migrated nearly 6 million people. As a result, it has developed rapidly and has now become the most dynamic economic zone in the Far East.

Comparable to the whole of Europe, the natural security environment surrounded by sea, plus the Dutch East Indies in the west, New Guinea in the north, the South Pacific Islands in the east, Tasmania in the southeast, and the southwest The island of Amsterdam and the Kerguelen Islands, etc., almost the entire Australian mainland is dominated by these surrounding islands. Under such circumstances, the development of the Netherlands itself seems to be secondary. "

The more Napoleon III himself spoke, the more that ambition sank.

Is this a rebirth in the Netherlands? Under the leadership of William IV, the Netherlands sang all the way to achieve today's achievements, which shocked the world.

But what is the future of the French Empire?

Thinking of the fact that the Netherlands has not only gained a firm foothold in the Far East, but also has a huge influence in the entire Americas, the emperor of the French Empire had to be jealous and his face felt hot.

In contrast to the Netherlands, a sense of urgency struck, gritted his teeth, and Napoleon III asked, "Is the resistance on the side of the Kingdom of Siam still that strong?"

The tone of Napoleon III's questioning made Olivier understand that Napoleon III's patience was almost exhausted. Obviously, the impact brought by the Netherlands made his Emperor His Majesty lose face, and Napoleon III, who has always been unwilling to lag behind, was in Milician. When the Federal State has no way to start, it seems that it is going to save face from other places.
