Struggle in Russia

Robert Kojon is obviously much more sophisticated, so he won't accept any explanation from the Provisional Republic of Wallachia. Does the explanation need police and prisons to be useful? He only wants the result, and he only wants the murderer to pay in blood.

Can't do it?

Don't blame him if he can't do it. Kehong will definitely use this to put pressure on Wallachia and force them to make huge concessions.

To put it bluntly, just don’t expect to use a few useless empty words to perfuse him. The British Empire only cares about gold and silver.

Anyway, Kojon has already set a small goal in his heart, at least he has to extract similar benefits as the French, and it must be benefits without any political conditions.

I have to say that this old fox is really shrewd. He went to Constanta and received private letters from many friends in China. He basically understood the situation in the country and knew that John Russell really loved Wallachia. Not much interest in this one.

The prime minister only wants to maintain the current international structure. As long as the Russians don't provoke the British Empire on Iran, Central Asia and India, and don't continue to expand aggressively, then the British Empire doesn't intend to separate from polar bears.

In other words, as long as Wallachia and Moldavia still belong to Ottoman Turkey in name, even if the Russians actually continue to "garrison protection" and "maintain order" in these two countries, it is acceptable.

That is to say, no matter how hard he tries to instigate him, the country will not allow him to continue stepping on the line to provoke Russia. There will be no official British support for Wallachia in the future, nothing in the future.

Under such circumstances, if Cojon continues to pursue those unlikely things, he will be annoyed at home. Even if he has Foreign Secretary Palmerston as an ally, the angry John Russell will let him pack up and leave, at least for It is entirely possible for him to be transferred and sent to Africa for retirement.

This is not what Kehong is after. He knows very well that as long as he is transferred, the next consul general will definitely not be an anti-Russian faction. The district's efforts had to be wiped out overnight.

Therefore, it is better to strive for more realistic things and make long-term plans for the present. And at this time, a fool who didn't know where came from gave a divine assist and killed Thomas Edwards. This means that he has more bargaining power with No. 10 Downing Street and can win more favorable conditions.

"I need to see your sincerity!" Kehong said very rudely to Jan Gika who came to negotiate, "Because of your mistakes, our country's senior diplomats were unfortunately killed. Is such a tragic tragedy just An apology is enough? Not to mention punishing the murderer, you must at least deeply repent and mourn deeply, right?"

Ke Hong condemned "angrily": "But it has happened for five days, and we have not seen anything! There is no arrest of the murderer, no repentance and reflection, and no large-scale mourning and commemoration activities! This is what you call Do you express deep regret and deep sorrow? I don’t think you care at all!”

This accusation made Yang Jika unable to lift his head. It was not that he was speechless, but that Kehong's aura was too strong. It was not so much a condemnation as an order. His meaning was very clear. He wants these, right away! No haggling!

This makes Jan Gika very uncomfortable. Is the Government of the Provisional Republic correct in its attitude towards the assassination of Thomas Edwards? In a sense it was wrong: not actively trying to catch the murderer is pretty telling.

But there is also a reason for this. What's more, in other aspects besides this, the attitude of the interim government is really correct. Immediately dispatched high-ranking officials headed by Jan Gika to mourn, and also organized a large number of people to go together, the momentum really cannot be said to be small.

But Ke Hong was not satisfied yet,

He actually wanted the provisional government to repent and reflect, as if it was really the provisional government that had done something wrong, and he would see large-scale mourning and commemoration activities as soon as he spoke.

Damn, this is too much! If you die as a counselor, we have to mourn the whole country. This is too bad for us in Wallachia. It’s not that our own father died, but we still have to dress you British in mourning, it’s too bullying!

Anyway, it's too embarrassing, even a good old man like Jan Jika is unwilling to do it, let alone the radical reformers and liberals in the provisional government, those two spiritual guys can't accept this kind of humiliation, after all They talk about national dignity and independence all the time, can they stand you?

Just as Jan Gika was about to explain and persuade, Ke Hong spoke again: "In addition, you have also shown no sincerity in the issue of Sir Thomas Edwards' pension and compensation. The simple and shabby memorial ceremony is simply shocking. Let’s not talk about it… What’s even more frightening is that you have caused a heavy blow and a huge loss to his family, but you didn’t show any signs of it!”

"Do you know how much harm and loss his death will bring to his family and his loved ones! How will his wife and children live? You have destroyed a happy and happy family in a living way, and you still don't show any signs of it! It's just insane!"

Jan Gika, who was sprayed all over his face, became more and more speechless, and he really admired Kehong who turned black and white. Because after the incident, how could the Provisional Republic save money in order to appease the British?

The memorial ceremony was a sensation. All the respectable people in Bucharest were present to pay their respects, and they donated generously. The donations alone amounted to thousands of pounds. In addition, the provisional government also specially approved a pension of 5,000 pounds. It adds up to tens of thousands of pounds!

This is really not a small amount of money. It only costs 50,000 pounds to buy a first-class battleship these days, and ordinary people can live comfortably for a year with a hundred pounds. Even the annual annuity of the princes and princesses of the British royal family is no more than It's only a few thousand pounds, ten thousand pounds is really a lot!

But Kehong is still not satisfied. Is this guy's appetite a bottomless pit? Or is this guy trying to drain Wallachia dry?

Anyway, Jan Gika is quite annoyed by the British's insatiable desire, so it's better not to be so shameless. It's just that what he didn't expect was that he still underestimated the shamelessness of the British, because there is really no lower limit for their shamelessness!

Because Cohorn immediately said: "The main responsibility for the death of Sir Thomas Edwards lies entirely with the provisional government of your country. It is your incompetence that caused this tragedy, so you must bear the main responsibility! You must To pay the price, we must unconditionally meet all the conditions of our government and the family of Sir Thomas Edwards!"
