Struggle in Russia

Palmerston immediately started a new round of exploration, he must find out Russell's real purpose.

"Prime Minister, do you mean to send Robert Calhoun back home? And then that's the end of the matter?"

Russell snorted in his heart: [How could it stop here, that's not too cheap, you kid! I want you to move your nest, okay? 】

But he couldn't speak too bluntly. He suggested cryptically: "It depends on the situation! Kohon is definitely not suitable to stay in Wallachia or Turkey. It is a way to transfer back to China, but it is not enough." Insurance, I think he is not suitable to stay in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, let him go to other departments to avoid the limelight!"

[Nimma! 】

Palmerston almost swears directly, this is to idle Ke Hong directly, okay! In fact, he still admires Cohorn very much, and thinks that Cohorn has done a good job in Wallachia. If it weren't for Russell, you hesitated to make a decision. Now Wallachia has become the sphere of influence of the United Kingdom, okay?

A meritorious official like this not only does not give praise, but also goes idle, what will outsiders think if they find out!

Not only does Palmerston think it's not good to spread the word, but he also thinks that if this is done, who in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will dare to work for him in the future, even if he can't keep his hardcore brother Ke Hong, how can you lead the group?

"It's inappropriate!" Palmerston directly expressed his disapproval. "Kehon has done a good job. If you deal with him like this, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have a lot of opinions!"

Russell sneered, Ke Hong did a good job? What kind of nonsense is this? He almost provoked an armed conflict between our country and Russia. He did a good job. If everyone did what he did, wouldn’t the Prime Minister of Lao Tzu be sitting on the crater of a volcano, and the light would be given to him all day long? You wipe your ass!

besides! What the hell is it that there are opinions within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? I'm afraid it's not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that has an opinion, but you, Palmerston, have an opinion!

Russell immediately snapped back: "Kehong did a good job? Indeed, there is a very good way to make money. If everyone is like him, then the government can consider reducing the salary of government officials. There is no need for so much salary, and they can be self-sufficient. Self-sufficiency... No! It's getting rich!"

These words directly sprayed Palmerston's face, which made him very embarrassed, but he was also angry, and immediately retorted: "These are all slanders!"

But Russell was not a vegetarian, and immediately asked: "Then he acted without the permission of the cabinet in Wallachia. Is this also a slander?!"

Palmerston finally understood that Russell was determined to win it for Cohon.

The so-called money-grabbing case is nothing more than a trigger or an excuse. He made it clear that he was dissatisfied with Cohon or what he did in Palmerston. This is to make an example of Bai Liwei!

Now Palmerston is also in trouble. If Cochon is to be killed, it will naturally mean a full-scale war with Russell, which means a complete split in the cabinet. At this time and at this juncture, Palmerston is really unwilling to split the cabinet or directly lead to the downfall of the government.

Because at this time, except for a few countries including the United Kingdom, the whole of Europe can maintain stability, and the rest are in chaos, especially France, Prussia, and Austria, which are in direct competition with the United Kingdom, are in chaos. Taking the opportunity to make troubles for the UK to gain more international interests.

If the cabinet collapses at this time, it will be necessary to re-integrate various forces on the top of the mountain, or even re-election. After all this tossing, it will take a few months or more to half a year or a year, and the time will be completely delayed.

After weighing it up, Palmerston thought that the price was too high and full of uncertainties. What if the Whig Party failed to form a new cabinet after falling out with Russell and the Tory Party took advantage? Or even if the Whig Party formed a cabinet smoothly, what if his hill was completely suppressed by the liberals headed by Russell and his strength was greatly damaged?

Palmerston was a little afraid to gamble, because he couldn't afford to gamble!

Then sacrifice Ke Hong like this?

But Palmerston was a little unwilling, and just as he was hesitating, Russell slashed again.

"My friend, I must remind you that the situation is more serious than you imagined. Her Majesty the Queen summoned me yesterday, asked me about Cohon in detail, and expressed her indignation at you. She is concerned about your ability to continue The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed doubts, and even hinted that he hoped that I would fire you directly! To be honest, this has brought me great pressure!"

Palmerston's heart skipped a beat again. He knew very well that he was indeed not popular with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The Queen and her husband had always criticized his foreign policy a lot. The last time Russell invited him to form a cabinet, the queen was very dissatisfied with him as foreign minister. If it weren't for Robert Peel's help to negotiate peace, she would not be able to take office.

And this time, the plane created by Cohon has attracted the attention of the Queen and Prince Albert, and even angered them. This is quite bad!

Palmerston fell into fear and contemplation, so is Queen Victoria's attitude really as indignant as Russell said?

Queen Victoria was indeed a bit indignant, but the reason for her indignation was not because of the report in The Times. The Queen did see the news, but she didn't fully believe it. Foreign Secretary?

What really made Queen Victoria angry was Russell's small report. When the Queen asked about it, Russell didn't say anything good about Palmerston and Cohon.

In his report to Queen Victoria, he not only dismissed Cochon as worthless, he almost said that Cochon was a mean, shameless, dirty and dirty villain, and he was the one who provoked all kinds of incidents and disputes.

It is also said that Palmerston is Cojon's umbrella (it is true), or that Palmerston instructed all of Cojon's deviant actions (this is also true), and that Palmerston is deeply involved in Cojon's fraud, no matter Rule out that Palmerston was the one behind it, and Cojon was just a white glove doing the dirty work (that's figuring things out).

Most importantly, Russell also said that Palmerston was becoming more and more restless and dishonest, that he wanted to go to war with France and Russia, and that he was an out-and-out war madman!

Now Queen Victoria and Prince Albert couldn't bear it anymore. Thinking about Palmerston's criminal record, do you think they are angry?

After this combination of punches, it can be said that Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's impression of Palmerston is extremely bad, and they can't wait to call Palmerston over and criticize him...
