Cohon's arrogance finally angered Jan Gica. Even as a spineless politician, he felt that the British had gone too far. Let's not talk about whether the assassination of Sir Thomas Edwards was a temporary incident of Wallachia.
Even if it is a mistake made by the government of the Republic, you cannot humiliate it to death!
You don't have to pay attention to any diplomatic etiquette when you do this. You are totally shameless and look extremely ugly!
Anyway, Jan Jika couldn't stand Cohon's arrogance and domineering, and immediately responded coldly: "Our government recognizes that the death of Sir Thomas Edwards on our territory is a very regrettable thing, and expresses this
We attach great importance to and deeply mourn for this. But this does not mean that our government is threatening and extorting people for this. We firmly oppose all forms of diplomatic blackmail!"
These words are high-sounding and can be considered a moderate response, but they always feel like they lack a bit of toughness and feel weak and uninspiring.
Of course, it was very rare for Wallachia to have such an attitude in the face of the rogue British Emperor. At least for Jan Jika, it was very rare and rare.
It's a pity that this is of no use to Cohon, because this veteran who has been in the diplomatic circle for decades has never seen any famous scenes. When facing the Holy Alliance, the British Empire did not have any diplomatic experience.
Unfortunately, they even collaborated with the Russians from time to time, causing Russia to suffer a huge loss on the Greek issue.
What do these rely on? In addition to the awesome national strength, they are capable diplomats. The reason why Kehong said what he said before is problematic. Is this too much? Of course it is too much! But this
It has a purpose! It's not like polar bears who just show off their bravery.
Sure enough, after irritating Jan Jika and forcing him to reply, Kehong immediately said again: "Diplomatic blackmail? Blackmail?"
Kehong smiled coldly and said: "Do you call our anger blackmail! Mr. Jan. Jika, you don't understand the UK very well, let alone our way of doing things!"
"I told you before, I don't want to hear any regrets, and I don't care about the so-called importance and regrets you talk about! This doesn't make any sense to us, and it doesn't help solve the problem!"
"Real attention is shown in actions!" Cohon warned sternly: "If you want to abdicate responsibility, it is very simple. Hand over all the murderers and masterminds behind the murder of Sir Thomas Edwards.
Don't try to use some scapegoats to confuse things, we are not blind!"
"You handed over the murderer and the mastermind, and we agreed. This matter will naturally end here! Otherwise, our government can only think that either you are colluding with the murderer and the mastermind, and deliberately murdered our important diplomats to stir up trouble.
.Either you are extremely incompetent and do nothing, allowing the murderer to run amok with impunity!"
"No matter which of these two possibilities it is, your country bears direct responsibility that cannot be shied away from. Our government believes that this is your provocative and insulting behavior. Naturally based on the principle of reciprocity, we can only use similar or even
Is to respond with more serious measures!"
Jan Jika was stunned. He really didn’t expect Kehong to be able to figure out such a logical relationship. It sounded so reasonable and reasonable, but it was really painful!
Naturally, he couldn't just admit it. If he did, the responsibility would really fall on the Provisional Republic of Wallachia. Then how could he explain it to the Revolutionary Committee?
So he immediately prepared to refute, but before he could speak, Ke Hong pressed forward and said: "I have no interest in continuing to waste words with you. The matter is very simple now. Either you hand over the murderer and the mastermind immediately, or you
Meet all the demands and compensation from our government and the family of Sir Thomas Edwards! You choose one of these two! Other than that, we have nothing else to talk about!"
After saying that, Kehong directly served tea to Jan Jika and drove him away. It was clear that he had nothing to talk about and he didn't want to talk about it. This made Jan Jika angry and anxious, and his hair was in a mess.
When I dropped the handle, I really wanted to jump and curse.
"The British people don't accept any explanation at all, they don't give any face, and what they say can make people angry to death!"
Jan Gica started the crazy rant mode, venting his bitterness to Jan Constantine and Constantinescu, looking like a resentful woman.
"They also said that with these two conditions, it's up to us to choose. If we don't satisfy them, we will be sad! Tell us what to do!"
Jan Jika really had no choice. The British conditions were definitely unacceptable, and he could not reply to the Revolutionary Committee in this way, because the Revolutionary Committee was never monolithic. If those thieves heard the news, then first of all
I'm afraid it's not the British who are being condemned, but him, the acting foreign minister.
Those despicable people will only attack him for his poor performance or incompetence, and first try to force him to resign or step down to apologize, so that they can open up a fat vacancy of foreign minister. Let's put it this way, the political atmosphere in Wallachia today is very bad.
People's hearts are so evil that apart from embarrassing their own people, the only thing they can do is please foreigners.
Anyway, Jan Gica didn’t dare to go back like this, so he could only find a way with Jan Constantine and Constantinescu. After all, their three brothers were all present at the scene of Sir Thomas Edwards’s assassination, which could be regarded as a rope.
No one can escape the grasshopper on it.
Jan Constantine also knew Jan Jika's true intention, which was to find a scapegoat to share the blame. But the problem was that he really couldn't refuse, but he didn't have a good way, so he could only suggest:
"Should we bypass Cohon, contact other British friends, ask them to do the work on our behalf, explain our sincerity and apology to the British cabinet, and ask them to be more understanding?"
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Constantinescu was the first to express his objection clearly: "No! I'm afraid doing this will add fuel to the fire and will only further anger Mr. Cohon! Please note that this Mr. Cohon is said to be
We have a sworn relationship with Mr. Palmerston, and Mr. Palmerston is in charge of the British Foreign Office. How could we avoid Mr. Cohoon and hide this from him?"
"Once he finds out, this is Chi Guoguo's provocation. It will only make him hate us even more, and then things will become even more troublesome!"
Constantinescu said very seriously: "The situation is already very complicated and very bad. We must not do anything to add fuel to the fire... The best way is to meet their conditions and let them
