Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 863
In the office of the Prime Minister of Downing Street, the atmosphere was particularly strange at this time.
Prime Minister Gladstone growled: "What is the police department doing and why is this happening?"
No way, just a few hours ago, the Russian Minister in London White Nicholas was attacked on the way to the British Foreign Office, and now he has seen God.
Not to mention the fact that Britain and Russia have not formally waged a war, even if they have already fought, the British government can only expel Russian ministers at most, and must also ensure the safety of the people before they leave.
According to the rules of the game, governments of all countries are obliged to protect the personal safety of foreign ministers. Now that the Russian minister has had an accident, the British government cannot blame it.
Police Secretary Rogers replied bitterly: "This was totally an accident. Minister White met the people who were demonstrating on the way to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Following the interview of the journalists among the people, the language of Minister White's answer was a little too aggressive, which caused people's dissatisfaction and the two sides clashed.
Although the accompanying police stopped the crowd, they did not know who took the lead in throwing debris at White ’s ambassador. A stone hit the head of White ’s ambassador."
The explanation is to cover up. The matter has already happened. It is a fact that the security work of the police has not been done well. No matter how it is explained, it will not be in vain.
It seems to be an accidental conflict. Is there really such a coincidence?
Prime Minister Gladstone expressed deep suspicion and ridiculed: "It's all accidental coincidence, and the police department has no responsibility at all.
So you tell me, the accident happened on the most prosperous street in London, how did the flying stones come from?"
Unexpected encounters and language conflicts are understandable, after all, the positions of the two sides are different.
But the flying stones are very problematic.The most prosperous street in London, if there are stones on the ground, sanitation workers have long cleaned it.
Participate in the demonstrations, bring a little bread, everyone can understand, who is full to take a stone?
Even if some people have quirks, it is impossible for a group of people to have quirks. There is only one stone that hits the key, and there are many stones that attack White ’s ambassador.
Police Secretary Rogers explained: "According to the suspects arrested by the police, these stones are intended to be used to smash glass.
We have confirmed that the parade and demonstration teams are heading towards the Russian embassy.Recently, the people have smashed the glass of the Russian embassy for the third time.
Comprehensive information from all aspects, we can determine that this is an accident, mainly because the Russians are too deceiving.
According to the personnel at the scene, when the reporter asked the Russian army to sneak attack on our Afghan garrison, White envoy clamored openly: What if we did it?
This sentence aroused the anger of the people, and only then happened.
It happened so suddenly that the police responsible for protecting the security of White ’s envoy did not have time to disperse the crowd."
Avoiding heavy is light, and artistic processing is the final answer.
It ’s not that Rogers is irresponsible. It ’s mainly this kind of thing. There is no way to go deeper. The best way is to close the case as soon as possible.
The longer things get dragged, the greater the troubles behind.Regardless of what the government believes, in the hearts of many people, the one who killed White's envoy is the hero of Britain.
The Prime Minister Gladstone stopped talking, the people did not know what was going on, how could they planners be unclear.
The Russian army's attack on the British garrison in Afghanistan was originally a fake. It is naturally impossible for the Russians who bear the blame to admit it.
White, the Russian ambassador to London, had always been a straight character.It is also normal for reporters to provoke a few words and say a few radical words.
Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Foreign Secretary George said: "The matter has now reached the point where it is no longer important how Minister White died.
No matter what answer is given, the Russians will not agree, we must plan for the worst."
A ambassador died, and no country would accept such a bewildered explanation before receiving compensation for benefits.
There is no doubt that the relationship between Britain and Russia has broken down, and it is impossible for the British government to use its interests to compensate the enemy.
"Ugh!"
Prime Minister Gladstone sighed.
In the beginning, dumping the pot to the Russians was only to calm down the adverse effects of front-line defeats and to avoid a political crisis.
Because of the geographical location, it is impossible for Britain to attack the Russians.
Although the gang of veterans in Congress often had their heads drawn, they were sober that they had no confidence in the British Army.
They did not take the initiative to provoke war, and the tsarist government was not prepared for a long-term war. For the verbal conflict, the possibility of war broke out was almost zero, and there was no need to worry about the situation getting out of control.
According to the original plan, nothing more than the continued deterioration of the British-Russian relations, slowly diplomatic.
However, the plan did not change quickly. The Russian minister was beaten to death by a large audience, and the British and Russian governments were forced to the corner.
The British government could not give a satisfactory answer to the Russians, because of political factors, they could not even hand over the murderers.
From the London police's definition of the incident as an accident, it can be seen that the group of guys are not working hard because of public opinion.
The British government is bitter, but why not the Russian government?
Originally, with the defeat of the British army in the Afghan region, the power of the main warlords in the Tsarist government expanded sharply.
Now that this incident has happened again, if no satisfactory answer can be obtained, no one but God can stop the outbreak of war.
After hesitating for a while, Prime Minister Gladstone said slowly: "Order the Governor-General of India to prepare for the battle, and the country must also prepare.
The Indian colony alone is not an opponent of the Russians. Once the war breaks out, we will send troops to reinforce the Afghan region in the shortest possible time.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to make diplomatic efforts, and if possible, this war can still be fought without fighting."
The Afghan region has already started. For the British government, the most important thing now is to clear the place as soon as possible and re-establish social order.At this time, I ran to go to war with the Russians. It was a purely loss-making business.
After winning the war, they were unable to enter the Central Asian region; after losing the war, not only the newly acquired Afghanistan was to be thrown out, but even the Indian colonies were constantly threatened by the Russians.
...
Despite the British government's efforts to block the news, the murder of the Russian embassy was spread like a wing.
When the news reached the Vienna Palace, it was already the next afternoon.Franz's first reaction to the news was-impossible.
"A minister of a country was beaten to death by a large audience," is this not an international joke?
The British define it as an "accident", which also requires someone to believe.
Whether it was Feishi accidentally injured, or other reasons.In a word, from the beginning, the "counselor's case" was related to the conspiracy.
As for who is behind the scenes, this question is difficult to answer.It ’s not hard to guess, but there are too many suspects.
Behind the scenes, the black hand can be the enemy of the British, it can also be the enemy of the Russians, and it can even be the main battle of the two countries.
If you want to delve deeper, you will find that both Britain and Russia are kings of hatred, and the enemies of the two of them add up to the world.
Not as many black hands as possible, for Franz, such peers hidden behind the scenes must also be vigilant.
"From the analysis of the current international situation, who do you think is most likely to do it?"
As soon as the words fell, Franz felt like he was asking a silly question.When it comes to suspicions, Austria is definitely one of the best.
In order to provoke the Anglo-Russian War, the Vienna government could do a lot.Some of these things cannot even be kept secret.
Foreign Minister Weisenberg replied: "In terms of suspicion, we and the French are the most suspected. After excluding us, the French are the most likely.
But this inference is not very reasonable.There are many ways to provoke the Anglo-Russian war. Under normal circumstances, the French government will not start against a country ’s minister."
Deep down, Franz was still embarrassed.Think of it for a long time ..., forget it, forget the dark history of the light, and let it disappear into the long river of history.
However, Weisenberg's inference is not a problem. Under normal circumstances, politicians will not choose extreme means.
After all, this is a high-risk job. In case the news is exposed, that's a big deal.At the same time offended the British and Russian countries, then the calf is over.
Even if it is necessary to do something, everyone will choose to borrow a knife to kill, and if you want to check it, you can only find the body of the boiler.
Franz shook his head: "Forget it, this problem will be left to the British and Russian governments to have a headache!"
Regardless of who is behind the scenes, in the short term, it is still beneficial to us.
At this juncture, this kind of thing happened, and the British-Russian war was almost inevitable.
Next, we do n’t need to mix it, and leave the stage to Britain and Russia, we just watch their performance."
The more critical moments, the less the head must be.If the British and Russians are regarded as behind-the-scenes hands, wouldn't it be wronged?
This kind of thing can only get darker and darker, but there is no way to prove it innocent.Whenever it is involved, don't want to wash it out.
