1861 Americans in action 1

"To be honest, I don't like this atmosphere very much." At this time, Wilson, who is the representative of the US government, was sitting in the car and US Secretary of State Robert Lanxin next to him.

"I feel that this is your political tendency that affects your judgment." Robert said, looking at the crowd celebrating outside the car window: "Maybe, it's hard for you to understand why Europeans are willing to support a king who is superior and has various privileges, and are unwilling to accept the rule of parliament or political parties." Robert hit the nail on the head.

"It's not only because of this, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's attitude towards ethnic minorities in China also made me very dissatisfied." Wilson said.

"Haha, but when we think back to the Indians, did you want to send all those people to the gallows?" Robert sneered. There are many people in black history. "As a diplomat, we value the interests of the country more. As long as it is beneficial to the country, we can cooperate with anyone and deal with anyone. Just like what we are doing now."

"Then what do you think of the Austro-Hungarian Empire now?" Wilson asked.

"Now Vienna has become the master of this empire again. The binary empire is actually an abnormal state. Now, this empire has eliminated the biggest internal problems and has begun to re-centralize power, which will greatly improve its efficiency. Moreover, with His Highness Ruprecht as the regent of Austria, the future of this empire is very bright." Robert said.

"Will he be the next Germany?" Wilson asked.

"If Bavaria had been incorporated into Austria, it would have been much stronger than the northern empire," said Robert.

"By the way, talking about Germany, what do you think about the situation in Germany now? Prussia was already in a mess after being hit hard this time. The power center within the empire was no longer majestic, and Bavaria had a tendency to grow bigger. When the Austro-Hungarian Empire began to centralize again, Germany in the north developed in a direction like a binary system. This was really a wonderful thing." Wilson said.

"Isn't this exactly what we need? The German Empire will become a competitor in the United States, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire is a little worse, so we are not worried about the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but about the German Empire being too strong. His central weakness is what we are willing to see, which will reduce his action efficiency a lot."

"However, the German Empire's size has more than doubled after all. Even Bavaria has a power comparable to France after the war. Although the Prussian center was weakened, it is still stronger than Bavaria. Even though their efficiency has decreased, the overall strength has been significantly enhanced. If there is an excellent politician in Germany who can take the overall situation, then the future of this empire is also unlimited!" Robert said.

"So do we have a way to deal with Germany's rise?" Wilson asked.

"Of course there is. Do you think that I, as Secretary of State of the United States, came to Vienna to participate in a rehearsed canonization ceremony?" Robert said meaningfully. "No, you are wrong. The most important thing for me is to let the seeds of parliamentary system sow on the land of the German Empire and then take root and sprout! We must put a wedge in these countries and let his development proceed in the direction we plan in the future. Tonight, I will meet with Mr. Hasai, the representative of the Berlin parliamentary faction, and we will talk about many issues of interest to both sides."

"If it's convenient, can you tell me what the meeting is?" Wilson said hesitantly.

"Of course, maybe, in the future, you will be the first ambassador of the United States of America to the Prussian Federation." Robert said with a smile.

"What Prussian Federation?" Wilson frowned and said, "You are too optimistic about the current situation of the German parliamentary faction. In fact, whether it is the German army, various states or Bavaria, they are all inclined to the German emperor. Their identity and class determine that they are closer to the German emperor, and the parliamentary faction cannot completely defeat the royalists."

"Who said we want to let the parliamentarians completely defeat the German emperor? This is impossible, so we pursue another way to achieve our goals. In fact, the direction of things now is very close to our expectations. Bavaria has become extremely powerful. Therefore, the central government's restrictions on Bavaria have been weakened, and now, the wife of His Royal Highness is about to become the emperor of Austria. Therefore, the relationship between the central government and Bavaria has been weakened. The Prussian civil strife has caused problems in the core of the former empire, and the rights of the German Empire have been dispersed, which is what we are willing to see. What we need to do now is to further disperse this core of the right!"

"So, our plan is very simple! That is to split Prussia! Turn Prussia into two states, one of which is ruled by the German emperor and the other is ruled by the political party! We can help the latter," Robert said.

"How could this plan be successful? Whether it is the German Emperor, the army or any other force, they will oppose it!" Wilson said in shock.

"Politics is sometimes so magical, which can make impossible things happen. Besides, even if we fail, we don't have to take any risks. And if we want to succeed, we will make a lot of money." Robert said with a smile.

At this time, Hasai, who was a representative of the parliament, came to participate in the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was also preparing for his residence. The sudden meeting request from the Americans surprised the leader of the Social Democratic Party who had been in a state of anxiety recently. Now, no one can see that the parliamentary faction is in decline. At this time, what is the purpose of the Americans coming here? Hasai can't figure it out.

As for everyone's values, the so-called parliamentary system has been fully promoted in Germany, and American friends from the other side of the ocean have decided to provide help. This is used to fool others, but Hassai will definitely not believe it! If the parliamentary faction succeeds, then there is still a possibility, but if it fails, then hehe!

"Anyway, we won't lose anything once we meet." Hasai is also a bachelor at this time.

"Sir, the US Secretary of State is here." Just as Harsey was thinking about it, the Americans' cars had already entered the yard, comparing with the huge American delegation. This time, the Americans seemed very low-key. Looking out from the window, there was no third person except a driver and Robert himself.

"This is also a bit interesting, it seems to be here to talk about things." Hasai nodded. If the other party was in a big show this time, it would be just a show!
