Ke Hong's mind was running at high speed, analyzing the pros and cons and weighing the options. The first thing he thought of was to give up and not join this aggrieved joint investigation team. No matter what conclusion the joint investigation team came to, it would not be recognized. Anyway, it would be a one-shot death.
Don't let go, let's see what the Wallachians can do.
This approach was quite tough, a bit like the aloofness of the British Empire, but Cohon immediately realized that something was wrong. It seemed tough and he insisted on his position, but the problems may be endless!
Because once the UK does not join the joint investigation team, the team will definitely put the will of France and Austria first, or even the will of the French. So how much face will France give to the UK?
It is conceivable that there will not be too many, and it is very likely that the conclusion reached by this investigation team will be unfavorable or at least not satisfactory to him. At that time, even if the British official did not recognize it, with the influence of France and Austria,
People can say: That is the truth. The British do not admit that it is the British problem because the British want to engage in political blackmail!
As a result, public opinion is very ugly. What's more, if France and Austria are allowed to get closer on the Wallachia issue through this joint investigation team, or even reach some consensus, this will also greatly affect Britain's role in the Balkans.
Regional expansion of influence.
After all, the cake is only so big. If France and Austria take one more bite, Britain will have to take one less bite. Therefore, we must not let these two families get too close! We must make full use of the ancestral skill of the British diplomatic service - the trick of stirring up trouble!
What is the method of stirring up trouble, you ask? It is simple, it is to stir up trouble with two sides and resolutely prevent the countries on the European continent from forming an alliance.
It is by relying on this skill that the British Empire has been struggling for hundreds of years. It is really experienced and enjoyable. But if you want to use this unique skill, you cannot stay out of it, you must actively participate. You must first penetrate into the enemy and then give him
Are you going to stir up an earth-shaking situation?
What's more, if the United Kingdom joins the joint investigation team, it can also obtain the title of nominal leader. Although this thing is of little use, it is also a political achievement that is fed back to the country, proving that he works hard and gives full play to his abilities.
Have you lost your subjective initiative and been striving for the best status for the country?
Anyway, this kind of bullshit can be boasted casually. After some thought, Ke Hong decided to join this joint investigation team. Participating will balance the pros and cons, but not participating will do more harm than good!
But the problem is that Ke Hong is also a shameless person. He had tried his best to object just now, but now after being threatened and retorted, asking him to change his words immediately would really be a loss of status. So he must put on some airs and airs.
Otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
But the problem is that if you participate, you have to participate. This requires a step. Generally speaking, at this time, Wallachia needs to step forward and act as a human step to let Cohon go downhill.
However, Jan Gica had already been angered by Cohon before, and he also knew that Constantinescu was contacting the pro-British factions within the National Party and the Revolutionary Committee, and knew that these pro-British factions would actively work for him.
The British godfather was worried, so he didn't bother to have a hot face and a cold butt, so he just pretended to be stupid and didn't know.
Even Jan Gyka didn't take the initiative, let alone Perrier and von Trobaugh. These two people were eager to squeeze out the joint investigation team for the British. At that time, it would be up to them to decide what to conclude.
Give the British people some eye drops, why not!
For a while, Cohoon was left hanging there, unable to move forward or retreat. If he were an ordinary person, he would have just gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. But Cohoon is not an ordinary person. He is a seasoned and mature British diplomat.
Such British people generally have one characteristic, pay attention! They are not shameless. They are good at calculation. They will weigh the pros and cons, make the most accurate judgment, and then act based on this judgment. They will not use any ordinary tricks.
The anger or anger turns into a beauty!
This is the great thing about people like Ke Hong. They can bend and stretch without being impulsive, so Ke Hong naturally expressed his position on the spot: "Okay, gentlemen, I will respond to your opinions and suggestions to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country.
I will not take a position on the specific issues of the joint investigation team for the time being. If there is no objection in the country, we will join. Otherwise, I can only express regret!"
Do you see? This is called advancing and retreating with evidence. Kehong resolved the embarrassment in a few words. It seemed that he was waiting for domestic opinions if he did not agree. It seemed that he was a good subordinate who respected his superiors. But everyone knew that this guy was actually related to John.
.The cabinet led by Russell is not dealing with it, he is far from that honest!
Cohoon walked away gracefully. Although he didn't take away a single cloud, it made the already unpredictable situation in Bucharest even more muddy, leaving the audience confused!
For example, Alexei, Barbu Shtyrbey and others. Before, they were secretly rejoicing that they had easily passed the danger, but in the blink of an eye, the news that a joint investigation team was to be set up spread throughout the city.
"What do the Austrians say?" Fontana asked.
"Count von Trobaugh stated that Austria will actively participate in the joint investigation team and try its best to ensure that the investigation team reaches a fair conclusion."
Alexei paused and sighed: "But he also said that Austria is not very interested in fully intervening in this case, let alone having a head-on conflict with Britain and France!"
Fontana frowned and said: "In other words, the leadership lies with France and the UK. Even if they come to a conclusion that is particularly unfavorable to us, Austria will undoubtedly intervene forcefully!"
Alexei smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, that's what it means!"
"What about the attitudes of Britain and France?" Fontana asked again.
"Count Trobao said that the British were not enthusiastic about the investigation team. They wanted to use this to exert political pressure on Wallachia and force the Wallachian provisional government to meet their harsh political conditions!"
"The French are secretly supporting Wallachia, fighting against the British, and preventing the British from succeeding!"
Fontana nodded and said: "That's good. Fortunately, they are in disarray, otherwise it would be really disadvantageous!"
But Alexei still had a sad face: "But even so, the French cannot make the investigation conclusion particularly beneficial to us. They are essentially on the same side as the British, and the final result may not be optimistic!"
Fontana nodded and said: "This is inevitable, so we'd better try to cause trouble for the investigation team. You'd better do Austria's work again and let them stumble France and Britain. It's best to provoke them into internal strife. This way
