Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

On September 27, 1866, half a month had passed since the "leak incident" in the Commonwealth of America. Anti-British sentiments such as protests and demonstrations in the Commonwealth of America had eased slightly. Just as the British Queen Victoria and the Creston cabinet government Just when the citizens were about to breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as a period of time passed, the incident would disappear and leave no traces, they never thought that this would turn out to be a turn of events, and something would make them extremely angry. Something unexpected happened.

It turns out that some time ago, when there was a serious confrontation between Maryland, where Washington was in the east, and Virginia, where Richmond is in the south, the Confederate States was pressing southward along the Mississippi River Basin.

With the help of the British, although the east began to suffer defeats, it soon checked and balanced the other side, and it was almost a draw. It was considered to have an advantage in the central and northern federal states, advancing from Kentucky to Tennessee in the south, occupying Half of the entire northern half of Tennessee, including Nashville, the capital.

However, under the command of Robert Lee, the South managed to hold back the central part of the North and began to achieve a balance.

Naturally, the North was unwilling to give up, so General Grant, the new general appointed by Lincoln, turned his goal to the west.

"Because that's where the advantage of the Northern American Federation lies."

Grant looked at President Lincoln and Secretary of the Interior Washburne, who were also of Irish descent.

I also looked at the Dutch Vice President Andrew Johnson.

The German Secretary of State Seward, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, etc., in the Lincoln administration, the Irish were the dominant ones, but the Germans and the Dutch were second only to them.

The Irish have always had good relations with both parties, but they also followed the example of the English government in dealing with the European continent. It also did the same in the United States, implementing a balancing approach and taking advantage of the contradiction between the Dutch and the Germans in Europe to benefit the Irish.

In particular, the political soil of the Dutch is mainly in big cities, while the Germans also focus on urban industrialization, which is different from the Irish who mainly participate in planting. Therefore, the political demands of the three parties are contradictory, especially between the Irish and the Germans. They are rivals in economic territory, and they also become rivals in politics.

However, because of the strength of their homeland, the Germans have always kept a low profile in eastern Millennium, fearing that the Prussian Kingdom in Europe would target them and accuse them of treason.

Moreover, the Dutch have been deeply rooted in Keller, eastern Millennium for more than two hundred years, and are more powerful than the Germans. Therefore, although the population of 100 million is large, the technology is not inferior to the Dutch due to the close contacts with the German Confederation. However, many territories were taken advantage of by the Dutch.

Therefore, Seward wanted to avoid the eastern area occupied by the Dutch and the central area occupied by the Irish. He had already planned for the Germans to develop their own base camp in the west.

Among them, the west he was interested in was California on the eastern Pacific coast. Only by winning there could the Germans gain a firm foothold.

However, recently it has been repeatedly undermined by the Dutch, and even the Irish seem to have taken action to undermine his ideas. At least the Hawaiian Islands and the Alaska Peninsula, which he originally saw in his eyes, were going to become key areas for Germans overseas. They were all captured by the native Dutch.

This made him very suspicious that people including Vice President Andrew Johnson and Treasury Secretary James Speed ​​were using their ethnic advantages to interfere with the rise of their Germans.

President Lincoln, on the other hand, was looking to sit back and watch, obviously wanting to restrain him, and once again used the annoying fisherman's practice to control them in the same way.

Thinking of this, Seward showed a little dissatisfaction when he looked at Grant, the current supreme military leader of the American Federation. In particular, he thought of his German-born Lieutenant General William Sherman.

Furthermore, I thought about the Canada Today plan he proposed recently, and I thought it should have results by now.

September 27, 1866.

A dispute arose between a businessman in Spokane, Washington State, and the Indians on the Canadian border. The Washington German was suddenly killed across the border by Canadian Indians.

Three police officers from Washington state crossed the border to pursue the man, trying to arrest the Indian who had fled to the British colonial town of Creston in Canada. However, five British police officers from Creston were there. However, the suspect provided him with shelter and was unwilling to hand over the suspect.

In the end, shots were fired from both sides. A police officer on the American side was seriously injured, while someone on the British side was also slightly injured. So the Spokane Police Department in Washington State reported to the Washington State Government In an emergency, the latter also reported to the American federal government.

The Commonwealth of America then publicly sent a letter to the British government to express its dissatisfaction, urging the British government to urge the Governor-General of Canada to hand over the suspect, and to ask the Governor-General of Canada and the United Kingdom to also subject the five law enforcement officers to federal legal review. , if the evidence proves the crime of intentional injury, he will face judicial sanctions from the Commonwealth of America.

The Creston government in the UK has not yet expressed its position, but the Canadian Governor-General has confirmed that it will not accept the request of the American federal government and does not agree with the one-sided statement of the American federal state.

Canadian Governor General Chalke Stanley Monk also stated that Canada will not accept any request for an apology from any Canadian police officers, nor will it believe that Canadian police officers have made mistakes in enforcing the law in Canada. He urged the Lincoln government not to waste its efforts. All citizens under Canada’s asylum umbrella.

Governor General Monk of Canada was a Tory, so this slap made Creston, the Whig Prime Minister, crack in the face.

Obviously, Canada doesn't seem to like Prime Minister Creston very much, which makes the latter very angry.

However, the United States of America does not seem to know that September 29th. The Confederate States of America announced that the Indian was a private prisoner.

Moreover, the evidence from the Commonwealth of America shows that this annoying partner seems to have intentionally or unintentionally been behind the scenes. The person behind the scenes is Governor Monk. This seems to have given Prime Minister Creston a machete to cut off the trust. The Liberal Party's opposition rival in Britain's most important overseas colonies.

Clayton did not show mercy. On October 4, after investigation, he announced that the evidence was true and announced the arrest of Chalke Stanley Monk.

However, Chalke Stanley Monk was unwilling to surrender. He announced that he did not agree with Creston's accusation of framing his opponent, asked Disraeli of the Tory Party to seek justice, and lodged a complaint with Queen Victoria. , demanding the removal of Creston, the interim prime minister, and accusing the other party of supporting the American Commonwealth's frame-up of the British nobles, which was a defection by the British.

Naturally, the Federal Republic of America stood up, accused the other party of being overbearing, and demanded that the other party hand over the prisoner.

How could Chalke Stanley Monk listen at this time? After all, he had just accused Creston of listening to the Americans.

Little did he know that he was playing into the hands of the Lincoln administration.
