James Vaughan has been living a happy life recently. Because of the big news in Russia, he has made a serious turnaround. Not to mention turning around and singing, at least he doesn't have to worry about losing his job.
It's just that, recently, he has always felt that something is missing. There is no news about Russia, but it is not particularly exciting. On the contrary, his counterparts in the Balkans, Austria, France and the Apennines are very happy, and there is news every day.
It’s so refreshing to have endless news to cover!
And what about Russia? It has become a backwater again, which makes James Vaughn miss the good Russian who gave him headlines even more.
"Nicholas I has a new favorite? Ballerina, this one is no longer rare, okay? Is there any news about His Majesty's illegitimate child?"
James Vaughan asked his editor feebly, excluding some boring tidbits from time to time.
"It's not that we don't do gossip news, but if we do it, we should do the most explosive kind. It's not painful at all to favor a mistress. Whenever His Majesty's illegitimate son has a conflict with the crown prince or fights against him, that's our Thames news.
News to watch!”
It's just that James Vaughn also knew that the situation he envisioned was almost impossible to happen. No matter in the history of Russia or Europe, an illegitimate child had never been seen in power. Even the tyrant Napoleon did not dare to do this.
It's not that Broken Wheel didn't have any illegitimate children at that time. It's well known that there were two or three. But what did Broken Wheel do in the end? He divorced Josephine who couldn't have a baby, married the Austrian princess, and managed to get the princess to give him a baby.
Napoleon II with legal inheritance.
Allowing an illegitimate child to rise to power is simply treason in the European aristocracy, okay!
So, there is absolutely no news like James Vaughn wants, at least it is absolutely impossible for the old-fashioned and traditional Nicholas I, even if his illegitimate son has as many enhancements as possible.
"Sir, there is an interesting document here that I think you can take a look at!"
Just when James Vaughan was bored and dozing off, his editor suddenly handed over a thick kraft paper envelope. Judging from the thickness alone, it was called a solid one!
However, James Vaughn doesn’t particularly care, because many guys who want to get famous or cheat manuscript fees have done this trick, deliberately making thick envelopes, and then the inside is filled with some pieced together or made-up rubbish.
.Those who work in their profession will never judge the value of documents based on their quantity and thickness.
James Vaughn took the envelope slowly and casually. He just glanced at it and straightened up immediately. Lazyness and laziness were swept away, replaced by full concentration.
James Vaughn couldn't believe his eyes. What did he see? A thick letter of shocking secrets. Who would have thought that the British Empire Consulate General in Bucharest was actually a swarm of snakes and rats, headed by Consul General Robert Cohoon.
A group of people wantonly amassed wealth under the guise of the British Empire. Their huge number is simply unheard of!
James Vaughn swallowed hard, his eyes were straight, and he didn't want to leave the document in his hand for a moment. He quickly scanned page after page, and his mood also changed from the initial shock to the very shock to the abnormal.
surprise.
After a long time, he closed the document, slapped the thick kraft paper envelope, and asked loudly: "Has anyone read this manuscript?"
The two three-legged cats raised their hands weakly, and James Vaughn nodded and solemnly explained: "This manuscript is very important, and it will be the headline news of our Times for a long time to come, so it must be
Strict confidentiality. I'm going to see the editor-in-chief and wait for his instructions! You two gentlemen, don't leave the editorial office for the time being without my permission or the editor-in-chief's permission..."
James Vaughan didn’t want to miss the once-in-a-lifetime big news, so after controlling the two editors, he immediately went straight to the editor-in-chief’s office. Soon with an exclamation, the editorial department of The Times was boiling. Before
All the content that has been ordered will be cancelled, and the next day's newspaper will be all about James Vaughn's manuscript. It is conceivable that their sales will reach new peaks!
Of course, Cohon didn't know all this. During this time, he was busy doing three things: putting pressure on the Provisional Republic of Wallachia, killing the noble landowners of Wallachia, and searching for Frank Charlton and
Michael Woodward.
"What? Still no news!"
Ke Hong was so angry that he jumped to his feet. He couldn't understand why a few big living people were gone. Of course, if the general living people were gone, they would be gone. The population of the British Empire was not that large, but so many three-legged cats died.
He still didn't feel bad.
The problem is that Frank Charlton and Michael Woodward are not ordinary three-legged cats. One is a nephew and the other is a butler. No matter which one is missing, it will greatly affect his money-making plan.
"What did the Bucharest police say?" Cohon asked with a nose that was not his nose or his face.
"They said that the security situation has been chaotic recently, and they do not rule out the possibility that they have been killed..."
Cohon stood up suddenly. He really had no patience with the Wallachians. Everything these grandsons did was messy. What do you mean they might have been killed? Even if they were killed, there would still be corpses! And you guys were killed.
Don’t you need to help the loser solve the case? Don’t you need to catch the murderer? Is it that I’m just here to listen to your indifferent nonsense?!
Kehong said angrily: "Let them know again and tell them that we are very angry. If we cannot find out the truth of the matter and find the whereabouts of our citizens within the deadline, then..."
At this point, Cohon was a little discouraged. What could he do? In addition to condemnation, I'm afraid it was still condemnation. The cabinet would never send troops to Wallachia to threaten and intimidate just because a few British people were missing, because this miserable country had no
You can't threaten Turkey at the seaport, right?
Although Turkey is indeed the suzerain of Wallachia, it cannot bully them too harshly. What if they are forced to turn to Russia or Austria?
Thinking of this, Ke Hong became even more upset and angry, wishing he could just knock the table off or find an unpleasant bastard to beat him up to vent his anger.
After a long while, he continued: "Go tell the Wallachians what I said. If they cannot solve the case within the time limit, I will stop applying for visas and they will no longer be able to seek refuge in the UK!"
This is the most effective trick that Cohoun could come up with. However, this trick is really useful for the Wallachian nobles who are eager to escape. Soon the Bucharest police department begins to have a headache...
