As a British diplomat, James Vaughns had an extraordinary status in Constanta. He was even more senior than the local bureaucrats in Turkey, and he was like the emperor of the Turks.
It's not that he is used to being arrogant and domineering, but the diplomats of the British Empire these days are all like this. They are very good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Especially for a small and middle-level official like him, there is a serious bureaucratic atmosphere.
Those who are easy to bully really have their eyes higher than their head.
James Warnes is in a pretty good mood recently. Wallachia's career is going smoothly. The British Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs just shouted at Romania. These childish fools rose up with bare hands.
He rushed up and bared his teeth with the polar bear.
The most important thing is that this grinning trip actually came true, scaring the Russians into a panic, causing a huge change in the situation in Wallachia, and completely fulfilling the British Empire's ambitions one-sidedly.
This easy and good situation undoubtedly not only excites the British Foreign Office, but also makes them more eager to try and prepare for a big fight.
The situation is obvious!
The Russians are just showmen. Even Wallachian sprouts can defeat polar bears, and Moldavia can do the same. If Moldavia also holds high the anti-Russian banner and stands on the side of the British Empire, then it will be
Completely cut off the Russians’ black hand reaching out to the Mediterranean, so that these barbarians can no longer hinder the empire’s traditional interests in the Mediterranean!
If this succeeds, it will be a huge victory. It will completely prove the power of diplomacy, which is to win without a fight, and it will greatly enhance the status of the Foreign Office in Whitehall.
As the status of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been further improved, the status of diplomats will naturally also be improved. Will the welfare benefits be reduced if the status is improved?
For middle- and low-level officials like James Warnes, the level of welfare benefits is still very tempting. After all, the UK has a developed economy and a high level of consumption, so it is always better to have a higher salary and more.
Of course, it is impossible for real diplomats stationed abroad to live on the dead wages and subsidies given by Whitehall. There is certainly no shortage of various ways to make money, otherwise who would be willing to suffer in the poor mountains and rivers outside London?
However, these are unspoken rules that cannot be mentioned on the table. What is really attractive to middle-level managers like James Warnes is the upward channel. Just imagine if Wallachia and Moldavia end up like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
If independence succeeds, these two independent countries will inevitably establish new diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom.
In other words, the consulates general stationed in these two principalities will be upgraded to embassies, and the original consuls general will be upgraded to ambassadors, almost creating one or two levels in place. And it is impossible to have only embassies in two such important principalities.
Consulates will inevitably be established in other cities.
As a result, there will be a large number of high-level vacancies in the two duchies. With the qualifications and achievements of these meritorious personnel, promotion and promotion should be a certainty.
Who doesn't want to have a higher official position? James Warnes dreams of earning a title and becoming a veritable lord before retiring. But now the opportunity is right in front of him! So he has to rush forward with all his strength!
So after hitting a wall with Togel, James Warnes did not wait, but directly found Gabriel. He knew that this damn fat man was the most important chess piece, and he could exert more influence on Torel through him.
A lot of pressure.
"Mr. Warnes, why are you here suddenly?"
Gabriel, who was hiding in a secret stronghold with a group of confidants, was now frightened. He followed James Warnes' instructions and strangled Torel's financial resources. This was equivalent to stabbing Torel in the back. Just like
After getting on the operating table and having his belly cut open, the price started to rise. This way Torres and Evans would inevitably explode the stabbing, or if they didn't, they would just hold it in and kill him.
So he hid early. Except for a few confidants, that is, James Warnes knew his hiding place.
"More pressure must be put on Torge. This man will not shed tears until he sees the coffin!" James Warnes said viciously.
These words made Gabriel's heart tremble, and he asked tremblingly: "Isn't this inappropriate? What if I push him into a hurry?"
James Warnes glanced at the fat man. The fat man was obviously weak. His face was pale and frightened. He would run away immediately if there was any sign of trouble.
【This is not possible!】
James Warnes knew that he had to give Gabriel a little more sweetness or reassurance, and he said bewitchingly:
"My friend, what are you worried about? Do you think Torget has any other choice? Either he agrees to cooperate with us, or he dies like a dog. Which side do you think he will choose?"
"The current situation is that his walnut-sized head has not yet seen the situation clearly, so we must make him clearly understand how dangerous the situation is. At that time, he will naturally have no choice but to be submissive and obedient!"
Gabriel is not as confident as James Warnes. He is afraid of death: "Mr. Warnes, that butcher is irrational. I very much suspect that he is mobilizing his men to search for me right now. Once he is caught,
He discovered that I would inevitably be doomed..."
"Of course, it's nothing to have my shortcomings. Ever since I joined the Hammer Gang, I knew that this would happen sooner or later. But, for you... no, for your motherland, I'm afraid it will delay important things...
"
James Vaughn's face suddenly tightened. He hated the way the fat man bargained. To be honest, he didn't like Gabriel at all. To him, he was just a greedy fat man, as despicable as
It's like a dog. And such a thing dares to bargain with him. It's simply unbelievable.
It's hard to say that he felt that he had to beat the fat man to death: "Dear friend, what do you mean by this? Our cooperation has always been mutually beneficial. If you have an accident, the biggest loss will only be you... Could it be
Do you think Torge will tolerate you in the future without our support?"
Gabriel was unmoved and threatened: "If you can't guarantee my safety, then there's nothing to say. The worst we can do is break up and see who regrets it in the end. If that doesn't work, I can still cooperate with the French."
, I believe that the French are willing to protect my safety and interests from loss!"
【asshole!】
James Warnes was filled with hatred in his heart. The French were so annoying. It was as if they were deliberately trying to raise a bar, so that the British Empire could not do its best. It seemed that the fat man had to be given some protection to prevent him from going on strike and causing trouble at this critical moment...
