Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Chapter 903: To intervene in the United States, we must first start with the Federalist Party

On April 28, 1881, the Democratic President of the United States Stephen Douglas did not know that he had fallen into the trap designed by the Republican presidential candidate Garfield. Instead, he refuted Garfield in Washington. Feide's many internal and external views.

In a public interview with the "Washington Post" at the White House in Washington, he talked about the recent changes in the relationship between the United States and the Netherlands in the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria-Hungary and other countries, saying that countries on both sides of the Atlantic must face the crisis together. Under pressure from the Netherlands to move their capital to the Australian continent, all countries believe that the conflict between the United States and the Netherlands on both sides of the Pacific is not just a problem for the United States and the Netherlands, but a problem for the whole world.

Stephen Douglas said, "Before the Netherlands gives up control of the United States, we must make complete preparations to resist the Dutch ambition to control the United States. This is an invasion, similar to the British back then, so what I am doing now, We are officially protecting the national security of the United States. Of course, we have no ill intentions towards the Netherlands. We are just taking precautions to be wary of our rights being taken away."

Garfield, who won the Republican presidential nomination on April 26, was very excited after hearing the news, but on the surface he openly expressed his dissatisfaction. Later, when he faced an audience of Dutch-American capital consortium in New York, he loudly condemned Stephen. In Douglas' move, he reiterated his support for a more stable alliance between the Netherlands and the United States rather than the other way around.

And he still insisted on establishing a peace agreement with the Richmond government in the South, adhering to the principle of one United States and another, and holding on to the position that the United States of America is the greatest common denominator between the North and the South and renegotiating with Richmond in the South. "I still expressed my position, I Alexander Stephens, who is willing to be in the South, supports one United States with different representations, and under the premise that we all belong to one America, if I am elected and take office on March 2 next year, we can start negotiations to prepare, and use this to open up Washington-Washington-Richmond. consultation and negotiation”

Faced with another attack by Garfield in New York, fire on him.

Stephen Douglas responded that the opposition Republican Party believed that negotiations should begin after the Richmond government under Alexander Stephens in the south accepted the principle of an America policy. I have no objection to this, but, I don’t think that an immediate and ardent show of goodwill towards the South will be immediately effective and get a good-will response. Therefore, I think that negotiations require equal goodwill from both parties, rather than being hot-tempered and asking for trouble. In the end, Washington national character and dignity.

Of course, I still say that peace is priceless and everyone pursues it, but the method must be correct.

Every election in the United States has entered a chaotic environment.

The current multi-party system in the Netherlands and even the joint establishment of a cabinet government and other legislation are passed, and it is even worse than that in the United States.

The last general election in the Netherlands was in December 1878, and he came to power in February 1879, so the next national election in the Netherlands, which is held every four years, will be in 1882, that is, December next year.

Therefore, several political parties in the Netherlands have begun to warm up for this.

For this reason, William IV did not deliberately help any political party, because the royalists are the biggest common denominator. Currently, all members of the Netherlands, whether they are local city council members, provincial assembly members, or members of the Senate or the House of Representatives, Like government officials at all levels, they must swear allegiance to the country and the current government before joining the job. Before that, they must swear allegiance to the king and the royal family.

So it can be said that the king and royal family of the Netherlands are the biggest king-makers.

"Currently, the Socialist Party has formed a three-legged situation with the Christian Party and the Liberal Party."

In addition to Cantur, Director of the Dutch National Security Council and Atlantic Affairs Coordinator, the other four are Akci, Coordinator for the Indian Ocean and Pacific, Samuel, Coordinator for Europe and Africa, Felix, Coordinator for the Americas, and President of the University of Sydney, He Mann Van Peron, a member of William IV's new think tank, is here.

The person who just spoke was none other than Herman Van Peron.

Americas Coordinator Felix: "Your Majesty, the Republican Party of the Commonwealth of America is obviously pro-Dutch, while the Democratic Party is skeptical of the Netherlands. I think we should spend more resources in the United States on the Communist Party. -On the Republican side, in the American election, if we support Garfield, then we can establish a closer relationship with the Republican Party

At that point, we can get Republican support to get going."

Felix has chaired the Organization for Coordination of the Americas for nearly 15 years. He has seen the changes in the Netherlands in the United States over the years, so he feels very happy to know that the Democratic Party Stephen's government is targeting Dutch people, and more importantly, the Kingdom of the Netherlands. disturbed.

This is just like when he looked at his tree temple that was growing well, but the originally expected harvest did not meet the target, and even grew crooked. He felt more guilty and self-doubt.

Therefore, after Herman Van Peron, he put forward his views and wanted to change the anti-Dutch environment in his jurisdiction.

The other people naturally understood Felix's current state of mind, and couldn't help but sympathize with him.

But at the same time, I was relieved. After all, fortunately, there was no such "green head" in my subregion to oppose the Netherlands.

After hearing this, William IV gave him a calm look, and then said to Herman Van Peron: "What do you think of the American Stephen and Garfield this time?"

William IV asked Hermann directly, letting the others know that William IV still valued each other more, which made them feel envious.

But Herman is capable. After all, he is the most famous political commentator in the world.

Herman Van Peron: "The Federalist Party, founded by Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury and President of the Bank of America in 1892, was dissolved in 1816.

The Democratic Republican Party, the opponent of the Federalist Party, was also an early political party in the United States. It was founded by Jefferson, the third president, and Madison, the fourth president, in 1890.

These two political parties were competing for power in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. If Hamilton had not passed away in 1804, the Democratic-Republican Party would not have become dominant later.

Compared with the Federalist Party's emphasis on centralization of power, the Democratic-Republican Party placed more emphasis on the power of the states, valued the rights and interests of homesteaders, and opposed monarchism. The main support areas are in the west and south.

In 1825, internal strife broke out in the Democratic-Republican Party. One group was led by then-President John Adams and then-Henry Clay, who supported the National Republican Party. The other group was led by Andrew Jackson, who founded the Democratic Party in 1828. .
