Chapter Eighty-Eight: Destiny? Hehe!
When Wilhelm IV ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to catch Friedrich Liszt, who proposed a blood transfusion, but by this time Friedrich Liszt had already arrived in the United States.
Washington, USA.
"Sir, I have to be sir, such as"
Martin Van Buren held Friedrich Liszt's hands tightly, and this time Americans were able to make so much money in this food crisis, and Friedrich Liszt could not have made it possible without his advice.
Friedrich Liszt not only took advantage of the food crisis to pay off his debts, but also succeeded in becoming the US Secretary of State.
"Mr. Liszt, I sincerely hope that you will use your ingenuity to help the United States of America out of this economic crisis." Martin Van Buren said sincerely.
"The United States is not an empire, it is a democracy, and it attracts the forces of solidarity for almost all of humanity. The political system of the United States is the highest crystallization of human political wisdom. She does not believe in occupation, she does not believe in slavery, but she believes in equality, she believes in fairness, she believes in science, she believes in creation, she believes in development. It is incumbent upon us to make America great again. ”
Friedrich Liszt also held Martin Van Buren's hand tightly, and both saw "sincerity" in each other's eyes.
This economic crisis successfully saved American agriculture and gave the US government a breath of blood, because the economic crisis and the defeat of Texas have already discredited the US government, and if Martin Van Buren does not do something, I am afraid he will be ousted.
With a vast land area and a population of 17 million people, the United States will be a force to be reckoned with in this world.
If history were to go according to normal course, the United States would annex Texas, New Mexico, and California all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
However, the United States had not yet fulfilled its manifest destiny, and for this it had to defeat France and Mexico.
Although the United States has signed secret treaties with France and Mexico, the United States prefers that France and Mexico will lose both.
However, the United States encountered new problems, as the Canadian insurgents attacked the British forces in Toronto, and the American transport ship Caroline was hired to enter Canada to deliver weapons to the insurgents.
The British forces in the Canadian colonies sent a force into the port of Slotsey on American territory and destroyed the Carolin transport, which was carrying weapons for the rebels, killing two Americans and wounding many others.
The U.S. local government claimed that the British had violated U.S. sovereignty, and the British commander insisted that it was justified defence.
Historically, Britain did not choose to entangle with the United States, but the British commander in Toronto pointed out that the Americans were transporting weapons to the rebels and also sending military personnel into the British colonies, and the Americans acted as a naked invasion, and the United States government should apologize to the United Kingdom.
Of course, the reason why this commander, who had been drinking all day long, suddenly opened his mind and was able to refute the fallacies of the United States with reasonable grounds is naturally due to our Archduke Franz.
Originally, because of the cotton and grain trade, the Viscount of Melbourne was reluctant to get into too much trouble with the United States.
But suddenly a conspiracy theory emerged that the United States might be behind the Toronto rebellion, and that the Americans were ready to subvert British rule and fulfill their "destiny of heaven".
The British Parliament immediately quarreled because the United States was a country built on a British colony, and Britain had every reason to believe that the United States wanted to annex Canada.
John Adams, the second president of the United States, once said.
"The United States is destined to expand to the entire western part of the Northern Hemisphere."
Obviously, in the eyes of Americans, Canada should belong to the United States.
Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, also said this.
"The annexation of Canada, including Quebec, only needs to move forward, attack Halifax, and eventually drive British power out of the American continent completely."
And the United States did attack Canada, it is entirely possible to do it again, after all, they planned a rebellion against Mexico in Texas, and if Britain does not act, then it is very likely that the Americans will also replicate it in Canada.
The Chartist movement at home made Britain desperate to transfer the contradictions to the outside world.
So, a very sternly worded letter was handed over to Martin Van Buren's desk.
The British government questioned why Americans had joined the rebellion in Britain's Canadian colonies and supplied the rebels with weapons.
Is the United States prepared to ignore the sovereignty of the United Kingdom, or is it that the United States has made Canada United States territory?
Britain's credentials immediately caused an uproar in the U.S. cabinet, with some clamoring for war with Britain to bring freedom and democracy to Britain, while others offered immediate reparations to Britain, because the United States could no longer afford a major war, let alone France and Mexico.
President Martin Van Buren made a public statement, insisting that the Carolin was civilian, not military, and at the same time sending troops to strengthen the border guards, while declaring that the United States would not intervene in Canada's internal affairs, and that the personnel on the Carolin had been deceived by the rebels, and that the United States Government was willing to compensate the British for the losses suffered.
In this way, it can be regarded as barely saving the face of the United States, and it also occupies the commanding high ground morally.
On the other hand, the British government itself has no interest in the Carolin incident, but is afraid that the United States may get involved in Canada's overreaction, since the United States has announced that it will not support the rebels and is willing to compensate the British army, they do not want to continue to entangle in this matter, after all, Britain and the United States will continue to do business.
And the United States is too big for Britain to conquer, it is better to continue trading and make money.
Subsequently, the United States paid $3,000 in compensation to the British Canadian colonial forces, which was exactly three times the price of the weapons confiscated by the British on the Carolin.
Port of Venice.
It has been more than a month since the grain purchased by Solomon Rothschild from the United States arrived in Hong Kong, but he is not happy at all, because of the Austrian price limit order, these grains not only do not make money, but also have to pay the corresponding customs duties even if they are shipped back now.
Solomon's self-conceived clever tactics were as ridiculous as a clown before this price limit order.
Of course, he later sold the grain, which did help the Austrian government stabilize prices to a certain extent.
In order to help the victims, the Austrian government built water conservancy, dredged rivers, and built dikes in Hungary, and did not deliberately exacerbate the conflicts between the victims and take the opportunity to suppress Hungary as he feared.
After that, the royal family bought large tracts of wasteland from him, but this should be a good thing for Hungary.
Although the royal domain does not provide tax revenue to Hungary, it can absorb the victims to a certain extent, at least alleviate Hungary's internal conflicts.
However, Count Széchenyi soon discovered that ship after ship had sent a large number of German refugees to Hungary, where they were organized to reclaim wasteland and build houses.
At the same time, the stabilized refugees will return home what they have seen and heard in Austria, where they have jobs, food, and land and houses.
As a result, more of the German poor chose to make a living in Austria rather than the United States across the ocean.
Historically, there was a serious loss of population in Germany during this period, and the vast majority of them went to the United States, which also promoted the development of the United States to a certain extent.
