Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

"Huh, I'm so surprised. There's actually a fight. Quickly send a telegram to Prime Minister Creston of the United Kingdom and the Lincoln government of the United States to find out clearly and find out what is the reason for such a fight. Those from the French Intelligence Agency This piece of shit didn't even get such important information. Are they worthy of our salary? These bastards?"

Napoleon III suddenly turned his gun and roared dissatisfied with Olivier.

Today's news came so suddenly, with no warning at all. However, his recent deployment was a bit slow under the attack of this news, and he needed to overturn it and start over.

French Prime Minister Olivier rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, since the UK has been attacked and suffered such heavy losses, I think London has not been able to focus on the Far East recently. I think it is better to take advantage of the opportunity and expand our expansion in the southeast. -It exists on the Asian Peninsula. South Vietnam is too small. In North America, we have already refreshed our presence in Mexico. In the Far East, we are far inferior to the United Kingdom. We are not even comparable to Spain's presence there, and even the Netherlands is not. It would be a disgrace to the French Empire to be inferior.”

When Napoleon III heard this, he was successfully diverted, "You are right, but we should take advantage of the opportunity to get the maximum benefit."

But what Olivier didn't know was that just because of his idea, the French Empire fell into a quagmire after Mexico.

This war came without any warning. Just like Napoleon III and others, everyone in the world was stunned by the arrival of this news, and its scale reached the level of the largest war in which Britain participated except the Balkan Peninsula. Before the war really started, 20,000 people were lost and huge battleships were lost.

You can imagine the shock this news brought to the world.

As one of the parties involved, none were more shocked than Queen Victoria and the Creston government.

"Crazy, are they really crazy? How dare they attack us?"

UK, 10 Downing Street. Prime Minister Creston's desk was overturned with force, his face full of anger.

Foreign Secretary Russell's face was also pale. None of them thought that this matter would develop like this. Recently, various countries have been conducting naval exercises in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, especially the Netherlands and the Commonwealth of America, which were exercised in the middle of the Pacific.

Obviously avoiding them, so when they were still in military exercises, Creston asked the cabinet members whether Britain should take precautions and conduct supervision in the Pacific. However, these cabinet members were still arrogant at the time. These countries are avoiding the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom should not overly stimulate each other, especially the Netherlands, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador, except for the Commonwealth of America.

Even Russell strongly advocated that such a thing would not happen. The Canadian army only slightly stepped up its defense and did not make too many preparations.

But now, it really happened. In addition to secretly cursing Prime Minister Creston's bad mouth, he is really a good but not a bad spirit. He was also thinking rapidly in his mind, "Wait a minute, Clayton." When the sudden storm is coming, I think many people will be in bad luck.

Thinking of this, Russell secretly glanced at Creston. Creston happened to look over at this time, and his eyes for help were directed at him.

"Sir Russell, we have to go to Buckingham Palace later. That is the disaster we are waiting for."

After the Confederate States completely captured British Columbia on November 11, 1866, they also occupied the province of Alberta. Even in the Great Lakes area, the Lincoln government also advanced heavily and quickly occupied Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and Hussein. Toronto between Lake London and all the way to the south of the Ottawa River.

On November 13, 1866, it also began to slowly advance in the northeast. However, because it is one of the most prosperous places in Canada, the defense is very tight and the advancement is slow.

On November 14, 1866, the Davis government of the Confederate States of America sent 50,000 Confederate troops to southern Tennessee. They launched an attack on the next day and once invaded Nashville, the capital of Tennessee. They were eventually defeated. The Central Army led by William Sherman, the deputy commander of the Northern Confederacy, was repulsed.

Despite this, it also caused great trouble to the American Federation.

Obviously, the Davis government in the south saw the opportunity of killing two birds with one stone. While helping Britain share the pressure from the Commonwealth of America, it also allowed the south to use defense instead of offense to gain tangible benefits. Although it failed, it stimulated the recently low morale of the South.

However, would the Lincoln administration suffer from the South's intervention?

"We strongly condemn the sneak attacks carried out by the Davis government. From this, it can be seen that Davis is not a leader who serves America. In his eyes, he just wants to be a lackey of the British. From the first card The Civil War was fought based on the divergent interests of the British. Most of the products grown in southern plantations were sold to the United Kingdom. Our extremely charming southern Millennium turned out to be the real back garden food growing area of ​​the United Kingdom. It's not from America.

We originally wanted to change everything, but things went counterproductive. We did not expect that the southern government would be so pro-British. Once again, I call on all those who recognize themselves as great Americans to stand up and condemn Davis at this moment. The government assisted the British in attacking their compatriots. Our internal fights are fought behind closed doors in our own homes, but we should not bring in powerful enemies from outside to intervene. This is the behavior of the army, and it should be reviled by all Americans.

At the same time, I call on the Davis government to suspend its attacks on the north. In fact, we are ready to negotiate with the south. Although some people are unwilling, we are indeed prepared to do so. Davis government, are you ready? "

“What a cruel statement”

Haysbet von looked at the telegram and saw Lincoln's call for peace talks in the South during his open speech on Capitol Hill.

Haysbet Feng said to the Privy Council: "I think the Davis government is in a dilemma now."

Home Secretary Joan Leer asked: "Isn't it true that most of the people in the South are English? If that's the case, the Davis government in the South should not easily heed Lincoln's distant shouts?"

Haysbet Von: "Normal English people will naturally have no interest in Lincoln. However, although the southern English people make up the majority, those English people were originally detained by the British government because of crime and abandonment in the British Isles. He came to North America to work as a coolie to open up wasteland and expand land. He actually didn’t have a good impression of the British Isles. It just happened that the development routes of each rank in the North and the South were different due to the economic issues of plantation agriculture and industrial development, which caused a rift.

After all, those in the south are the older generation of immigrants who have acquired a large amount of land and are landowners, while the north is dominated by new immigrants, so they will not resist industrialization. "
