Struggle in Russia

How could he let Russell's men pick peaches for John Russell's angry Robert Cohon? Naturally, he absolutely wanted to let Russell's people know how difficult it was to get something done.

Of course, he couldn't get into trouble openly, at least he couldn't explain his arrangements to these so-called confidants. Maybe some people would give the new Consul General a little color according to what he wanted, but Ke Hong believed that more people would immediately show their favor to the new Consul General and sell him out.

In this year, you must not imagine loyalty too reliably, disloyalty is the norm. So in order to kill Russell's people, Ke Hong will definitely give some special medicine.

Obviously, the effect of his speech just now is particularly good, and it will greatly hurt the enthusiasm of these elites. No matter who will take over later, they probably won't have the idea of ​​working hard to serve the motherland.

What's more likely is that when he, Kohon, left, these people immediately started to find their own way to escape the fire pit of Wallachia. And when all these people are gone or the enthusiasm is gone, the later consul general will not want to open the situation easily.

It is very likely that, not to mention opening up the situation, they will be burned out by this working treasure. Coupled with the French and Russians who are watching eagerly, Cohon can almost be sure that Russell's people will be burned out.

Of course, this little trick is not all. In order to completely drive his successor crazy, Ke Hong is still making some more disgusting arrangements at this last moment.

First of all, he convened a meeting of all the pro-British forces in Wallachia. He pretended to point out a way for them, but in fact he was digging pits to harm people with sinister intentions.

"Gentlemen, the situation is already clear. Since Russia and Turkey have basically reached an agreement, our government has to adopt a more restrained strategy on the Wallachia issue...We hope that you can cooperate with our government to adopt a new strategy to protect you and the interests of our government..."

"...the new strategy is to avoid sharp confrontation, avoid extreme measures, and avoid major conflicts...this requires you to exercise restraint and patience..."

The core idea of ​​the speech is actually "counseling", which not only expresses the British government's cowardice but also requires these leading parties to admit their cowardice.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to get together and get together, because the most important intention of Kojon is to make money: "Of course, if you are worried about the prospects of Wallachia, I personally can understand... After all, whether it is Turkey Russia still has a barbaric tradition...they are not civilized enough and they may take some more traditional and iron-fisted measures when dealing with dissidents..."

as you can imagine,

This group of leading parties was already terrified to death, and if Ke Hong was flickered in such a grotesque manner, his hearts would naturally be in a state of ups and downs.

And this is what Kehong wanted. When a coward asked if the British government could provide asylum, he replied solemnly:

"You are all friends of the British government. The government of this country has always valued its friendship with you and is willing to provide you with all necessary protection measures... We will actively communicate with the Turkish and Russian governments and try to persuade them to adopt more peaceful measures and means, you can rest assured!"

If you can feel at ease after hearing these words, then your sincerity is two hundred and five. At least none of the leading party present here dare to be at ease, and they suddenly became more and more restless. But Kehong felt that the heat was not enough, and immediately poured another bucket of oil:

"... As for the direct provision of asylum by the Chinese government, it is theoretically feasible in terms of international relations and legal principles, but there are huge problems and hidden dangers in actual operation. Our government does not advocate such behavior... Our government also I can assure you that Wallachia is absolutely safe, even if there are some hidden dangers, it is generally safe..."

The guides started whispering, everyone started to feel insecure, and started to get agitated. Even though Ke Hong said repeatedly that there was no need to worry too much, these guys were scared to death.

Then, then Ke Hong announced the end of the meeting, because he had already said what he should say on the surface. I agree.

Only with this kind of attitude, will these guys be really scared, will think that they are really abandoned, and will find a way to escape from Wallachia at all costs.

And then Ke Hong only needs to change the skin and extend the hand of friendship, these fools will bite the hook obediently, and then take out the gold coins in the purse to buy a ticket to London.

"One thousand pounds per visa, no, it must be two thousand pounds, it can only be more or less!"

This is what Cohoun offered. He believed that there would be at least twenty or thirty terrified Wallachian idiots fleeing to London with their families.

Twenty or thirty thousand pounds! This is an out-and-out huge sum of money. A second-class battleship these days costs only 30,000 to 50,000 pounds, and 20,000 to 30,000 pounds is more than enough to build a frigate. But ordinary people earn less than a thousand pounds in their lifetime. With this money, at least Ke Hong doesn't have to worry about his life for the rest of his life. He can even consider using the money to participate in elections if he uses it properly, and maybe even get a seat in the House of Commons!

Of course, making money is not the purpose, but to prepare for a comeback. Ke Hong knew very well that he would definitely be on the bench when he returned to London this trip, and it was not a matter of a few months or half a year, but a year or two.

If there is no money, if there is no funds to move around, then even with Palmerston behind it, the future is very bleak. It's different if you have money, you don't even need to hang yourself on the Palmerston tree, maybe you can develop a group of new friends!

After this trip, Cohorn was also a little discouraged towards Palmerston. He couldn't even cover his younger brother, or even himself was made ashamed by Russell. Isn't his political future unreliable!

If this is the case every time in the future, wouldn't Ke Hong be with him forever? Ke Hong didn't want to spend the rest of his life in such a muddle-headed way. He also hoped to make great achievements, not to mention Prime Minister, at least the position of Foreign Minister must be coveted!

And to achieve all this, the precondition is to have money. Anyway, Ke Hong now understands that if he wants to get along, he must have a lot of money. Without money, it is really difficult to move an inch!
