Robert Cohon didn't pay much attention to Jan Jika or even the elites of the Provisional Republic of Wallachia. Because he knew the quality of these people too well. If he hadn't actively instigated it, this would have happened.
Do you dare to stand up and rebel? Dare you shoot Bibescu?
Huh! That's because they are really too brave. Anyway, in Cohon's eyes, the Wallachian elites are a bunch of cowards, with little courage and low standards. They can be made to pee by just blackmailing and scaring them.
Anyway, after giving a stern warning to Jan Jika, Cohon went to do his own thing. There was still a mess in Constanta because the Consulate of Constanta did not cooperate, leaving him unable to do anything.
Putting too much pressure on the Turkish side, not only did James Warnes' death not make any progress, the Hammers also didn't show much favor to him, which made him feel helpless.
According to Cohon's idea, after quickly blackmailing the government of the Provisional Republic of Wallachia in Bucharest, he had to quickly go to Constanta to complete the matter. After all, this port is too important.
Lakia is a purely landlocked country, and its external connections are completely dependent on Turkish ports, and Constanta has the most complete facilities recently. This is the best choice and there is no other choice.
It's just that Cohon did not wait for the Wallachia he wanted to surrender, but waited for the note sent by the Wallachians. The Wallachians formally informed and invited him to send appropriate personnel to join Thomas Edward.
The joint investigation team into the assassination of Sir Alex.
"What the hell is this!"
Cohon was immediately shocked, because what he wanted was not this, but the Wallachian people to sign a treaty that was very beneficial to Britain. Using this treaty, he could report his merits to the country and hint that Wallachia had great potential at home.
.
But what the hell is this joint investigation team in front of us?
Cohon immediately asked: "Did the Wallachians say what this meant?"
The embassy staff carefully replied: "Wallachia said that this is to meet the conditions you proposed. They will do their best to punish the murderer of Sir Thomas Edwards's assassination and will never tolerate the investigation to the end."
Than any murderer!"
"Damn it!" Cohon immediately slammed the table and said angrily: "Are these idiots really stupid or are they pretending to be stupid? I think they are itchy. Do they think they can do whatever they want if they hug France's lap?"
Of course, Cohon didn't feel nervous. In his opinion, the Wallachian's choice was stupid, because as long as it did not satisfy him, he would not accept the reconnaissance results given by Wallachia. What should the murderer do?
It doesn't matter to him at all, he doesn't want any real murderers, he just wants real national interests!
But things were not as simple as Cohon thought, because he immediately realized that the joint investigation team had something to say, and he immediately asked: "Who is in this joint investigation team?"
"According to Wallachia's explanation, they have officially notified Turkey, France, Austria, Prussia and our country, hoping that all countries will send relevant personnel to join the joint investigation team to find out the truth of the case!"
"What!"
Cohon began to realize that something was wrong. If the joint investigation team only had Wallachia and Britain, then he would not have the final say in everything. But once so many countries were added, things would be much more complicated. He would definitely not be there.
That's all!
"This is unreasonable! I never agree!"
As he spoke, Cohon angrily ordered his servants to prepare the carriage and prepare to go to the Wallachians to argue, firmly opposed to such a joint investigation team. However, when he felt that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Provisional Republic of Wallachia, the French Consul General Pellegrini
In Rie, Austrian Consul General Count Wenzel von Trobau was already sitting there drinking tea and chatting, while Emre Aziz Pasha, the nominal governor of Turkey, was sitting on the other side and dozing off.
Cohon's eyelids jumped, and he found that things were getting more and more unexpected, because the French and Austrians arrived too quickly, which showed that they were very interested in this. Once these two countries were interested in participating, he wanted to go to the extreme
It's very difficult to apply pressure.
However, this was not the first day that Cohon encountered an unexpected situation. He walked up to Jan Jika with a calm expression and asked: "Mr. Jan Jika, what is this note from your country?"
What’s your intention?”
After receiving the guidance of Jan Constantine, Jan Jika felt a lot more relaxed now. Naturally, he was not so embarrassed and not so afraid of Cohon. He just smiled carefully and said:
"Your Excellency, Consul General, because the case of Sir Thomas Edwards has made a big fuss and had a very bad impact, in order to maintain the traditional friendship between Wallachia and Britain, and to bring justice to Sir Thomas Edwards, and also to punish those evil people.
The murderer. Our government unanimously believes that it is difficult for the forces close to Wallachia to capture and punish the murderer fairly and openly, so it has specially sent a note to friendly countries that are concerned about the progress of the case and have the ability to provide help, and set up a joint investigation team to clarify the case.
The truth!”
Jan Jika also emphasized: "This is also in response to your request, Consul General. We will resolutely punish the murderers and those behind the scenes, and we will never let them go unpunished!"
Ke Hong didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood. He didn't want this thing anymore, but Wallachia picked up the words and asked his army, so that he had no way to refute. After all, this request was really written in black and white.
In the note from Britain to Wallachia, it was impossible not to recognize it.
But what kind of bullshit joint investigation team Ke Hong refused to agree to. He immediately retorted: "Isn't this inappropriate? Even if a joint investigation team is to be set up, it should only be done by both of us. Why go to war?"
Yang Jika spat in his heart: [At this time you know that you are going to fight, and you are anxious. Weren't you very arrogant and awesome before! It's too late!]
Jan Jika replied with a smile: "This is also for the sake of openness and transparency, so that the world can see that our Provisional Republic of Wallachia has no intention of concealing the murderer, and to show the world that we attach great importance to it! It is also for the sake of better things.
Investigate this serious crime!"
Cohon was speechless. He was really unhappy. According to his temper, he really wanted to stand up and take advantage of him. Jika stamped his face hard. But the French, Turkish and Austrian people were all watching.
However, he couldn't be too arrogant, so he could only grit his teeth and say:
"It is great that you can draw great attention to it, but please also pay attention to the international impact. Our country does not want this case to attract any unnecessary international attention!"
