"The person who died was Sir Thomas Edwards, the counselor of the British Consulate General. It is said that he did not make it to the hospital and died on the scene..."
Haji's tone was very serious when he said this. Even he who knew little about politics knew that the disaster this time was huge. He killed a British diplomat inexplicably. How could this British guy let it go?
Alexey and Fontana didn't mean to speak, because they were also shocked by the seriousness of the matter. The British diplomat who killed the wrong person was a huge mess. Whether it was the Provisional Republic of Wallachia or
The British Foreign Office will pursue the case sternly, and bluntly say that since there are not many heads buried with Sir Thomas Edwards, the matter cannot be resolved.
After a long time, Alexey asked: "Have all our people been evacuated?"
I have to say that he still has a conscience, because if he were a more sinister bastard, he would probably order the murder and silence. After all, the dead can't speak, and only the dead can keep secrets. And those assassins are inexplicably irrelevant.
Sir Thomas Edwards took action and messed up everything, so it is normal to hold him accountable.
Haji replied: "We have evacuated out of Bucharest before total martial law. We are in the secret estate of Mr. Barbu Stirbey."
Alexei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is not bad...hey..."
Yes, now he really has a headache and a big head, and he has no idea how this matter will end. He even feels a little regretful. Sure enough, he still has to be cautious when assassinating this thing, and he should listen to Fontana's advice.
However, Fontana had no intention of teaching Alexey a lesson at this time, not only because she had no such intention in the first place, but also because she knew that what Alexei needed most at this time was not scolding and lessons, but reasonable suggestions.
It's to help find a way to solve the problem.
Fontana frowned and asked: "Did they say why they attacked the British?"
Haji sighed and replied speechlessly: "As I said, the gun went off, and then our people got too nervous, and then...then it got out of control..."
This answer made Alexey extremely speechless. What else can be said? Unlucky things like gun misfires have happened, and if you put yourself in his shoes, think about how you would react in that highly tense state. Can the assassins follow the plan?
Even if you are able to evacuate safely, even if you are well-mannered, it would be possible for a coward to be scared to death.
"I can only say that those brothers should not die, hey..." Alexei sighed, and then he didn't know what to say.
Haji had almost the same idea. He was one of the few people who witnessed what happened next. When Thomas Edwards was dragged out of the ruins of the carriage, he was basically a bloody gourd. He died within a few minutes. If the carriage was in
It's the Bretianu brothers. They will definitely not be better than Thomas Edwards, at least they are all seriously injured.
It’s a pity that why did the British let the British get into trouble? This is really cheating!
But Fontana's thoughts were different from theirs. She asked calmly: "Have you made it clear? Is it really a misunderstanding? Isn't it some other situation?"
Haji explained patiently: "According to your instructions, we separately questioned the assassins. Based on their descriptions, it was indeed an accidental discharge. The perfume bottle pistol was too sensitive. It seemed to be a problem with mercury fulminate..."
Fontana is not interested in whether there is any problem with mercury fulminate. She just wants to find out whether it was an accident or someone deliberately causing trouble. If it is the latter, then you have to be careful and further countermeasures must be taken.
Otherwise it will be more passive.
"Well," Fontana nodded and said, "In this case, you inform Barbu Shtilbey and the others to avoid the limelight first. If there is no urgent matter, don't contact them for the time being. Wait until the limelight has passed."
Alexei doesn't have any objections to this. It's better to keep a low profile on the cusp of the storm. The Provisional Republic of Ivarachia is such a piss-poor. At this time, there will definitely be people all over the world looking for scapegoats to hit the unlucky guy at gunpoint, regardless of whether he is guilty or not.
Sin will definitely not yield good fruits.
Alexey was right about this. Immediately after the incident, the Provisional Republic Cabinet and the Revolutionary Committee held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with this crisis!
Yes, you read that right, this is a crisis for the cabinet of the Provisional Republic. It is not a big crisis for the Russians to stare covetously, and it is not a big crisis for the domestic economy to be in ruins. But the death of a British diplomat is a disaster.
That's the crisis!
I have to say that the foreign men in Wallachia, especially the British men, are truly precious and must not be neglected! Of course, even in the midst of a crisis, they still maintain their glorious tradition. Let’s talk about internal strife first.
After all, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The greater the crisis, the easier it is to kill political opponents. Let’s slap the blame first!
"Mr. Ion Gica, Mr. Ion Constantin and Mr. Constantinescu, can you tell the Revolutionary Committee why, right under your nose and in front of you, our beloved international friend Thomas
.Sir Edwards was brutally assassinated and died on the spot.”
"Why did such an appalling tragedy happen in front of you in the Bucharest City Hall! No matter what, you must give the Revolutionary Committee a reasonable explanation as to why such an appalling incident happened!"
Barbu Kartar was the first one to jump out without hesitation. Originally, he was not dealing with Jan Constantine, and then he was robbed of the opportunity to be friendly with the French. Now the enemy has fallen into a trap.
How long will it be before we throw stones?
And he was convinced that the other party had no way to answer his question. The question of why this happened was meaningless at all, or it was useless except to make things difficult for others. Because what was important was not why it happened, but how to find out.
murderer.
Barbu Khattar has not cared about more important things for a long time, but he has been fixated on meaningless issues, which is nothing but causing trouble.
Jan Constantine also knew this, but he was not a vegetarian. He was more timid than Barb Cathar in talking nonsense? What a joke!
"The reason is very simple!" Jan Constantine replied very calmly and calmly. "For a long time, the extremists of the Bibescu puppet group have been persistent in their evil intentions and have been trying to undermine our efforts to fight for independence and freedom. This assassination
This operation was planned and implemented by these pro-Russian traitors!"
"So, I have always stressed to the Revolutionary Committee that we must severely crack down on these traitors, confiscate their property, put them in prison and let them face a just trial! Only in this way can the peace and tranquility of the Republic be maintained!"
"But a group of people led by Mr. Barbu Catalju disagreed with this and have been indulging these traitors. This has led to them becoming more and more arrogant and domineering, which has led to today's tragedy!"
