London, since the Vienna government proposed to deal with the US issue first, it immediately attracted the attention of the British government.

As the world's number one colonial empire, there are British people everywhere. Not to mention that Canada is there, the number of European countries that have the greatest interests in North America.

No matter how great the interests of the Americas are, they are still greater than those of Europe. John Bull's national policy has always given priority to ensuring continental balance. The outbreak of the Prussian-Russian War *** government had to devote more energy to the European continent.

Foreign Minister Reslin analyzed: "The situation on the European continent is already very dangerous. Once the Russians concentrate their efforts, the Prussians may not be able to withstand it. We must be prepared to interfere in this war.

Now Prussia and Russia are still in a stalemate, which does not mean that the Prussians have the strength to compete with the Russians. There are three main factors that cause the battlefield to fall into a stalemate:

First, the Tsarist government did not pay attention to the opponent of the Kingdom of Prussia, and until now, the Russians have not done their best;

Secondly, there was a problem with the Russians' finances and they were unable to bear huge military expenditures. The Tsarist government wanted to win the war with as little military expenditure as possible;

Third, the Prussians who had the upper hand dared not rashly fight the Russians to the decisive battle, and they could not afford to lose this war. The Berlin government was preparing to take advantage of the Russians' weakness of insufficient funds to force the Tsarist government to compromise.

Any change in these three points may occur, and the European continent may undergo major changes. We must remain vigilant enough.

If the Prussians win the war, it is okay if the Russians win the war, it is very likely that Russia, France and the Olympics will make a three-pointer in the Prussian Kingdom.

In the past ten years, the strength of France and Austria has developed very rapidly. The two countries' army and navy occupy two or three in the world respectively. They are our biggest enemies after the Russians.

If they continue to expand, they will sooner or later threaten us. Fortunately, Russia, France and Austria are all crowded on the European continent, which creates opportunities for us.

At present, the European continent is still in a three-legged state overall. Russia's European overlord has the ability to suppress one, but it is impossible to suppress both of them at the same time.

In order to maintain his overlordship, Nicholas I chose to form an alliance with the Austrians and reduced one enemy.

However, with the changes in the strength comparison between the two countries, the importance of the Russian-Austrian alliance to Austria is gradually declining. This continental change is an opportunity to split the Russian-Austrian alliance.

In contrast, the American Civil War was in a secondary position. Although the United States had a unique geographical location, they were just a new immigrant country, and the people's centripetal force was not strong enough, so it would take a long time to catch up.

Moreover, due to the civil war, it has created an opportunity for us to split the United States.

The original plan was to split the United States into five countries, but now because of the changes in Europe, the efforts that countries can invest are limited, and now they can't do it.

However, according to the current situation, as long as we push, the division between the north and the south will become a foregone conclusion, and the Indians can be independent.

After the split, the United States will take longer to develop. We can also support the southern government to check and balance the northern government and maintain the balance of the American continent."

Minister of Finance Agarwal questioned: "The plan is very good, but is it really feasible? What if something happens in the battlefield of the USSR in advance?"

Foreign Minister Reslin calmly replied: "No one can guarantee that these plans will succeed. Now all we can do is - fast.

Before the end of the Prussian-Russian War, the north and the south were forced to sit at the negotiating table. On this point, the Austrians' position was consistent with ours.

The Vienna government was very active in interfering with the American Civil War. Austrian flag had appeared in Central America, and Mexico also had a Habsburg emperor.

No matter what the reason is, the Habsburg Revival Lord needs a split United States.

The Vienna government is now anxious to end the American Civil War, but in fact it is to regain energy. The impact of the Prussian-Russian War on Austria is much greater than that on us.

Now Spain is subject to civil strife and has lost most of its voice in the four-nation alliance. As long as we have the same position as Austria, we can already control the decisions of the alliance."

In fact, the Four-National Interference Alliance has now become the Three-National Interference Alliance. There has been a problem in Spain, and how determined the government is to interfere in the United States has become an unknown.

Even if they want to interfere in the American Civil War, no one knows whether they can deliver on the number of troops they send.

However, the four-country interference alliance is always more influential than the three-country interference alliance. Spain's strength is already at the bottom of the great powers, but their political influence is still there.

Especially in the Americas, there are a large number of Hispanics. The position of the Spanish government can also influence the choices of many people.

It is naturally impossible for John Bull to kick the Spanish out of the interference alliance. Of course, Spain was inevitably weakened in terms of its right to speak.

After a while of silence, John Russell said slowly: "End the American Civil War as soon as possible. If you wait any longer, you will likely encounter any changes. The Americans support the Irish Independent Organization's accounts, and then calculate with them this time."

Don't think that John Bull only has the eyes of interests, and they also hold grudges.

President Lincoln's final counterattack certainly distracted the energy of various countries and bought time for the federal government, avoiding being divided into five, but also enhancing hatred.

Evidence? Sorry, when did the great powers need evidence when they do things? Just think that's enough.

Franz did not send anyone to find evidence that Americans supported the Hungarian Independent Organization, and the British would not do these useless efforts.

Only the weak will look for evidence and use evidence to protest. As the king of this era, neither Britain, France nor Austria protested against the Americans and directly began to prepare for revenge.

This is the basic way of playing power politics in the 19th century. Only when there is no way, will everyone choose to protest, and more often they will take revenge directly.

After all, there are too many conflicts among countries in this era. The day before yesterday, you stabbed me in the back, and yesterday I stabbed me back. Everyone has been going back and forth many times, but it is impossible to figure out which one is right or wrong.

Of course, it is better to have evidence, and pressure can be put on public opinion. The final game still depends on strength and means.

...

After a round of emergency consultations, on March 7, 1865, Britain, France, Olympiad and West finally reached an agreement. The four countries sent diplomatic notes to the north and the south on the grounds of maintaining peace in the Americas.

The most powerful British in the Americas became the leader of the alliance. Mark Oliver, the British ambassador to the United States, came forward to negotiate with the north and south on behalf of the Interference Alliance.

On March 8, Britain, France, Olympiad and Western countries held joint military exercises in the eastern and western Pacific regions at the same time.

The four countries assembled more than 200 warships to conduct exercises in the coastal areas of the United States. Some residents of the coastal areas heard the roaring artillery fire.

The two sides in secret negotiations were also in a deadlock due to the issue of interest distribution.

At this time, the four countries intervened, and President Lincoln's first reaction was that the negotiations were exposed, which aroused dissatisfaction among all countries.

In order to interfere in the Civil War, everyone invested a lot of manpower and material resources. If they could reach a compromise in private, how would the interests of various countries be protected?

Secretary of State Saffar analyzed: "His Excellency the President, including you and me, no more than ten people know about the secret negotiations. These people are in high positions and there is no reason to leak the news.

Now the sudden intervention of Britain, France, O'Siki is mostly due to the situation in Europe. They don't want to continue waiting, which is a good thing for us."

The plan was successful, but Lincoln was not very happy. The negotiations are now in a deadlock, and the north and the south are unwilling to let go of the battle surrounding Maryland.

Maryland is also one of the animal slave states. It has now been occupied by the Confederate government. The slave owners of the state have shed blood for the Southern government, and more than 60,000 people have joined the Southern army.

If we give up here now, it will undoubtedly hit the reputation of the southern government and weaken the centripetal force of the franchise states.

The Southern government cannot give up, and the Northern government cannot give up. Washington is close to Maryland. Without Maryland as a barrier, Washington is exposed to the enemy's nose at any time.

No, now it has been exposed to the enemy's nose, and Virginia next door has joined the Southern Government early.

When the Civil War broke out, parts of Virginia near Washington remained loyal to the Union, which saved Washington from the embarrassment of the war to the front.

But this is useless. The war has been going on until now that most of Washington's urban areas have fallen, and the federal government has just held several strongholds to the death, saying that the war on Washington's defense is still continuing.

The secret negotiations began, and the north and the south stopped the large-scale battle in a tacit understanding. Otherwise, there would be no news of the fall of Washington now.

In any case, Lincoln still doesn't want to give up on Maryland. Even if he is not popular in Maryland, he may not get any votes.

"This is indeed good news, but it is also accompanied by big trouble. With the intervention of the alliance, we have no way to force the Southern government to make concessions.

If the interests are right, I think the Southern government will not mind inviting Britain, France, Olympiad to join the negotiations, and we will be passive at that time."

Lincoln had no fantasy to get support from the Four Kingdoms, which was impossible.

A strong United States is not in the interests of all countries, and the two sides have already stood opposite each other because they supported the revolutionary organizations of various countries not long ago.

Knowing is known, this does not mean that he wants to make concessions to the southern government. As a politician, he must consider political influence, not just superficial interests.

Perhaps it seems that giving up Maryland to end this civil war early will be less expensive than the intervening of countries, but can the states of the federal government accept it?

You should know that Maryland supports the federal government, although this support is the result of President Lincoln's extraordinary measures, and this cannot affect Maryland as a member of many federal states.

Now that we have given up here, the centripetal force of the states on the federal government will decline, and the authority of the federal government will inevitably be weakened.

In contrast, if Maryland is abandoned with the intervention of the great powers, the people's acceptance is even higher.

We can also cleanse it up at that time. This is not because the government is not working hard, but mainly because the enemy is too strong and there is no way to compromise.

Especially for politicians, choosing the former may not be able to step down under the hat of a spy in the south. Choosing the latter can at least bring some sympathy points.

Even if the political life is over, it will be better than everyone shouting and beating?

Secretary of State Safar said indifferently: "Anyway, since this point has come, the situation is no longer under our control. If we can protect the core interests of the federal government, we will be worthy of the people's votes."

Indeed, overall, they did not do badly, and they could even be said to be excellent. Being able to integrate so many federal states and fight with the South for so many years is enough to prove their ability.

No matter how strong their ability is, they cannot hide the fact that they are losers. Secretary of State Safar has already seen it openly, because their term of office is about to expire.

In the new election, Safar is not ready to participate in it at all, so as not to be humiliated by himself. If any unlucky person is elected in the future, let the latecomers clean up the mess.

No, if it weren't for the Civil War postponed the election time, the next government would have been elected.

No one is a fool. No one will jump out and act as the scapegoat before signing the armistice treaty.

Therefore, the Republican and Democrats have always believed that people in many federal states were unable to vote during the war, and now elections cannot represent the wishes of all people.

The election was naturally postponed until after the war, and the Lincoln administration's rule was extended.

Otherwise, Safar and others would be relieved immediately. They were less than a month away from the end of their term of office, so they would just drag it over.

The Lincoln administration must assume the responsibility of the United States' division before it can be abandoned. This is the common will of all parties.
