The great earthquake in British politics broke out without warning. Palmerston suddenly resigned from the post of Foreign Secretary and became the minister without charge. This adjustment came so suddenly that many people were caught off guard. The first one to bear the brunt was the British Foreign Office.
, and suddenly there was chaos.
For example, Robert Cohoon was completely confused when he received the news. Because Palmerston was his biggest backer, without Palmerston's support, his radical policies would not be possible at all.
There’s room to play!
Not only is it a policy influence, but more importantly, without Palmerston as a backer, many small actions that were previously reasonable and reasonable may be found behind.
As soon as he learned the news, Cohon couldn't sit still. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't leave Bucharest, he would probably take the first boat back to London to find out more about it from Palmerston.
Unable to escape, he could only write a long letter to Palmerston, hoping that his old boss could give him reassurance.
However, just two days after this letter was sent, Palmerston's letter arrived. Please note that it was not a reply, but Palmerston's final advice to Cohon.
In this letter, Palmerston explained clearly the ins and outs of his forced resignation, and frankly told Cohoon that his situation was very dangerous, and that Russell would probably take him down in the near future.
If you lose your official position, you will also face a lawsuit!
Suddenly, Cohon was in a state of confusion. He really didn’t know that his money-making behavior in Wallachia had caused an uproar in London, and even forced his old boss to resign. If he had known that the money was so hot,
He would never be so greedy again.
But it was too late to regret it at this time. According to Palmerston, as long as the London public's attention was slightly diverted from his case, Russell would attack him.
What, you ask, why not do it right away?
It's inappropriate. If Cohoon is dealt with immediately, wouldn't it mean that Russell proactively admitted that what the Times said was true, which would seriously damage his prestige. What if the parliament followed suit and demanded that Cohoon be really investigated?
Case, what to do?
Doesn't this mean exposing one's own ugliness and shooting oneself in the foot?
Therefore, Russell can only deal with Cohon after the limelight has passed. He will not even use the excuse of fraud. I am afraid he will find another reason to transfer Cohon, and then throw him to Scotland or Wales or Ireland to sit in the cold for the rest of his life.
bench.
Such a result was definitely not what Cohon wanted, and it was not what Palmerston wanted to see, so he quickly wrote a letter to remind Cohon that he must make plans early, otherwise there would really be no future!
Cohon suddenly frowned, because Palmerston's advice to him was to retreat before advancing. If he didn't withdraw from Wallachia quickly, Russell would definitely lift the four hundred kilograms once the news subsided.
The ax chopped it into pieces for him.
If you don't want to be shattered, you can just take advantage of the news and find an excuse to be transferred out of Wallachia or even out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Stay away from this circle of right and wrong first.
Palmerston suggested that he admit his illness and be transferred back to China first, and then he would help him find a acceptable position in other departments, and then we could make a comeback together!
To be honest, this letter made Cohon have mixed feelings. He originally wanted to take advantage of the outbreak of the European revolution to start a big fight in Wallachia. Not to mention the title of prince, the title of wife and son, at least a hundred feet.
Go one step further.
Who would have thought that just because of a trivial matter, not to mention going further, he would almost face jail time. When he thought of this, Ke Hong hated the Times who broke the news with hatred, and he vowed not to let him make a comeback in the future.
, otherwise we must clean up this broken newspaper.
Of course, Cohon also had other doubts. He didn't understand how the invisible things he did thousands of miles away in Wallachia were known to the Times. From this newspaper's publication
Judging from the information, all the revelations are well-founded, and all the moves are aimed at him.
"Who leaked the secret?"
Cohon immediately realized that his secret had been exposed, but few people knew about this highly confidential secret. Basically only his confidants or closest people knew about it. Could it be that there was a traitor around him?
He actually doesn't quite believe this conclusion, because the people around him have followed him step by step, so they should be reliable. Even if they are unreliable, they have made a lot of money with him over the years and have been well fed.
What's more, everyone is involved in it, and everyone is prosperous and everyone suffers. If his company collapses, what's the benefit?
Cohon thought hard for a while, but he had no clue. Just when he was at a loss, Florin Propellita arrived. This poor deputy director came to explain the disappearance case to him, or to pretend to be pitiful.
, because he still has no clue!
"Disappearance case?"
Who would have thought that this would give Kehong a flash of inspiration, and he finally realized what the problem was. Could it be that his closest confidant, the person who controlled all his secrets, was missing from the disappearance case?
He didn't think about this at all before, because there were too many missing people, including not only his confidants but also the general consulate general. But now it seems that this is clearly a conspiracy, and their real target is
It’s just for him!
"asshole!"
Ke Hong slapped the table hard. He knew where he was defeated. Who would have thought that the enemy was so cunning and could kill him with a fatal blow from an angle that he had never thought of. This really made him very frustrated.
Kehong is more curious. He wants to know who this enemy that still puzzles him is. Otherwise, he may still suffer a disastrous defeat when they fight again in the future. Of course, Kehong also wants revenge. This is a great shame and humiliation.
What kind of man is he if he doesn’t repay you twice as much!
It's just that it's not easy for Cohon to find the enemy. After all, he doesn't have much time anymore. According to Palmerston's arrangement, he must report his illness immediately. At most, it will be less than a month.
He will leave Wallachia in due time. It is not easy to find the enemy in such a short period of time!
However, Ke Hong also has a stubborn temper, and he will not suffer the consequences of being too self-absorbed, so he immediately began to investigate, first listing the best suspects, and then carefully verifying them. He did not believe that the enemy could really achieve a perfect match!
"The last possible targets are France, Russia, Wallachia and Austria!"
"France and Russia are more suspicious of this. After all, my existence directly affects their interests, so the breakthrough should be on them!"
