With Russell secretly making trouble, Palmerston was unable to use his strength, and he had no good way to deal with John Walter, who was increasingly attacking him. He could not lead the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly into the "
The Times on the door.
After running around for a while, Palmerston had no choice but to go to Russell. He knew that the best way to get rid of the current predicament was to let Russell solve the problem. Although he was very reluctant to find it.
Russell was even more unwilling to beg this bastard in a lowly manner, but as the focus of all London was focused on the Robert Cohoon case and the shocking scandal he was involved in, he had to put down his dignity.
"Your Excellency, The Times has become more and more outrageous. If they are allowed to continue such nonsense, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Russell was like Jiang Taigong fishing. He was very satisfied with John Walter's performance. The newspaper seller really kept his promise. The focus of the attack was always on Robert Cohun and Palmerston.
Make accusations against him or make insinuations.
Especially after hearing reports from his subordinates that Palmerston had been running around and jumping up and down in the past few days, Russell was even happier and his appetite had improved.
While Russell was feeling happy, he pretended to be surprised and asked: "Well, haven't I given you full authority to handle this matter?"
Without waiting for Palmerston to answer, Russell added: "Why can't you even handle such a small thing? Look at these newspapers that are following the trend, they are making a fuss all over the city!"
Palmerston was a little stunned and a little confused. He thought Russell's attitude was a little strange. You did leave it to me to handle everything, but you asked other departments to cooperate with me. Can I, the Foreign Secretary, instruct the Home Secretary to seal the door? Isn't this right?
What nonsense!
What's more, since you saw the commotion in the city, why didn't you take the initiative to intervene? Even if you called me over and asked, it would be fine! But you didn't do anything. If I didn't come to your door today, you were there on purpose.
Watching a show and eating melon happily does not look like you are in a hurry!
However, Palmerston knew that now was not the time to complain, let alone argue with Russell. He was still hoping that Russell would come to the rescue. What if he was angered by this guy and turned away or added insult to injury?
So Palmerston swallowed his nerve and replied: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Russell suddenly felt so comfortable, more comfortable than eating watermelon in the dog days of summer, and finally made you bow your head. It would be great if you had been so well-behaved earlier, but it's a pity! It's too late for you to wake up, please stand aside honestly.
!
Russell pretended to click his tongue, and said as if he was very troubled: "You just think about things too poorly. I have told you a long time ago, be cautious! Be careful! Look at how big a trap you have created. At this time, you say
What’s the use if you don’t think of it!”
Before Palmerston could open his mouth, Russell lectured himself: "I told you before, be careful about that Robert Cohoon. This man is too courageous and dares to do anything based on his temper... Then
You defended him at that time, look at what kind of mess he has done!"
"Let me tell you, another member of Parliament is planning to launch a motion to conduct a thorough investigation of Robert Cohoun, and they are also asking me to remove you from office. Now I am helpless and overwhelmed. Tell me, what should I do?"
Palmerston was shocked, because he had not received any news that anyone was trying to mess with him? How come Russell has a nose and eyes, and seems to have held an impeachment meeting for him? Besides, you Russell
What does it mean to finally ask me what to do?
Palmerston had a very bad guess. He felt that Russell was putting pressure on him in disguise and had no intention of helping him solve the problem. This meant that he, the Foreign Secretary, was likely to
When the end comes!
Suddenly, Palmerston's heart skipped a beat. It was not easy for John Russell's government from the beginning, especially since the first government failed because Lord Gray refused to join a cabinet with him in charge of foreign affairs. Later, the government was successfully re-formed with great difficulty.
Russell warned him not to go his own way and strictly control his behavior and mouth, otherwise he would bear all the consequences.
At first, Palmerston didn't take this promise seriously, and he just did what he was supposed to do. It was a turmoil. Although this also caused a lot of contradictions and conflicts between him and Russell, they were eventually settled.
Afterwards, this also made him not take that promise seriously anymore.
Today, Palmerston felt that Russell might be using that promise as a basis for trouble!
After thinking about it, Palmerston felt that he could not sit still and wait for death. He tested: "Is the Parliament making a fuss out of a molehill? Robert Cohoon has always been reliable. I think he did a good job in Wallachia. It is not appropriate to take him down at this time!"
"
On the surface, Palmerston is talking about Cohong, but in fact he is exploring a path for himself. If Russell really wants to win over him, he will never be open to Cohong.
They might slash Kehong with a big sword. Taking Kehong down is actually a drunkard's intention and is a further warning to him!
Sure enough, after a brief silence, Russell replied seriously: "I don't know whether the Parliament is making a fuss out of a molehill, but I only know that Cohun has caused extremely bad effects and made us very passive. This kind of behavior is never allowed!"
Palmerston immediately secretly said something bad, but before he could speak, Russell added: "Now it seems that letting Cohon temporarily resign is the best way. It is more beneficial to let him leave the limelight and stay away from the public eye. Otherwise, it will be more beneficial to him."
Judging from the current situation, he will definitely implicate you, no, it should be said that he has already impeded you."
"If he continues to stay in Wallachia, it is very likely to trigger a crisis of confidence, which will directly lead to the collapse of this government! My friend, you don't want to see this happen!"
Palmerston frowned. He probably knew Russell's attitude, that is, Cohon would definitely pack up and leave. If he didn't agree, Russell would use strong tactics, which would not look good at that time.
This made Palmerston's face immediately darken. Not being able to save Cohon was definitely a huge blow to him, but he also had a deeper concern - could Russell be behind the sudden attack on The Times?
Black hands!
If Russell is the mastermind behind the scenes, then everything makes sense. Why the Ministry of the Interior ignored his requests and why the Times obtained Cohoon's dirty information. These are definitely related to Russell.
Now Palmerston is very worried that Russell will not be satisfied with just getting rid of Cohun. Is this old scheming guy trying to play a big game?
