Struggle in Russia

Chapter 362 Selfishness (Part 2)

Although Robert Cohon felt that Palmerston's warning was a little too scary, he had never heard of any senior public official being thrown into prison by Whitehall. It is not only a glorious tradition in China to not be punished by a doctor. Britain also has this fine custom.

It's really rare for senior public officials to be completely clean hands and feet, and whether it's greed or open door or malfeasance or sheer IQ limitation, guys will do stupid things.

These stupid things know internally that internal criticism and fined three drinks will be over, and at most it will let the unlucky person who committed the crime hang up and go home to farm. This is what is called punishment.

Going to prison is simply unthinkable. If a senior public official dares to do his best in the process of serving the Queen if he catches a little mistake, he is asking for trouble!

Of course, Cohon was not arrogant enough to ignore Palmerston's warning, because this horrifyingly worded warning letter speaks for itself. John Russell has no patience with him at all. Diplomatic strategy dominated by Palmerston. Naturally, Palmerston's elders like Cohon will have to deal with them, or at least let them go out of their own accord, otherwise it will be necessary to make an example of others!

Ke Hong didn't want to be killed like a chicken, so he knew that he had to know the current affairs and hand in his resignation report quickly to be idle, not to be dismissed or something. Voluntary resignation and dismissal are completely different concepts in Whitehall. The former will be considered sensible and may be able to stand up in the future, while the latter is very ignorant and must be beaten.

"I have already submitted my resignation letter, and I believe that Istanbul will send someone to replace me soon... Although it is a pity, I have to say that there is no possibility of redemption at this time!"

Ke Hong's confidantes didn't look too surprised. Everyone is from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. How could they not know anything? They knew before that Ke Hong's departure was a foregone conclusion, but they didn't expect to leave so quickly.

And this will soon be very unfavorable to them, Kojon's confidantes. They are the emperor and courtiers. As Kojon's confidantes, if they continue to stay in Wallachia, they will definitely not be welcomed by the next consul general. Almost a sure thing.

But who wants to sit on the bench? No one wants to!

And Ke Hong continued: "You have worked with me for so many years, and I fully trust your abilities. I wanted to do something with you, but the world is unpredictable... But the cause of Wallachia must not give up halfway!"

Speaking of this, Kehong's expression suddenly became serious, and he said solemnly: "Our previous efforts must not be in vain! Moreover, the situation in Wallachia is far from the most irreversible moment. Although the situation We are at a disadvantage, but I believe that with the re-invasion of the Russians,

Everything will change. "

"The fragile balance will soon be broken. No country wants to see polar bears encroaching on Wallachia. At that time, Russia will stand on the opposite side of all countries, and it will be our turn to fight back!"

These morale-boosting words had some effect, at least Ke Hong's confidantes listened very seriously, because they knew that the really important thing Ke Hong was about to say!

Kehong took a deep breath and said seriously: "If we want to fight back, we must be fully prepared, and this requires a large number of elites who are familiar with Wallachian affairs, and these elites are Lords!"

Well, although Ke Hong's confidantes somewhat guessed what he wanted to express, when they actually heard what Ke Hong said, everyone was inevitably disappointed.

why? Because no one wants to stay in the hell of Wallachia. People are realistic, even if Ke Hong said it solemnly and with a little encouragement. But in fact, everyone knows that as long as Kehong leaves, the so-called cause of Wallachia will be paralyzed.

It was no secret that John Russell disliked Palmerston's dislike of Cohorn's struggles in Wallachia. It is conceivable that without Palmerston's support and without Kohon's support, the new Wallachian consul general would never be interested in "fucking around".

At that time, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the so-called elites who were promoted by Kehong to be good at "doing nonsense", or to put it bluntly, they were useless!

It is conceivable that they will have to stand aside and sit on the bench when the time comes, and it is normal for them to sit idle if they fail. As for the counterattack that Ke Hong said, it is something that the shadows do not have. Maybe it is useless to wait until the flowers are all gone.

The most realistic and correct way is to let Kehong take them away. Only by following Kehong can they have value and have room to display their talents. It is really a huge pit to stay in Wallachia, okay?

And now Ke Hong actually fooled them to stay in the pit automatically, do you think these people will be comfortable? I'm afraid everyone has only one thought at this moment: "You bastard bastard, you are extremely hypocritical! If you have the ability, don't resign and run away, stay with us and wait for the opportunity to fight back!"

It can be said that Ke Hong's farewell speech was an extremely failure. Not only did it not have a positive encouraging effect, but it also defeated people's hearts and morale even more.

So did Kojon do this because of a mistake, or because he was too enthusiastic about his previous career and refused to give up?

The answer is "hehe"!

In fact, Ke Hong didn't mean it at all. He was well aware of the effect of what he said just now, and he said it on purpose!

why? It can also be said to be unwilling or venting anger and revenge on John Russell!

how to say? The brain hole inside is very complicated. In short, Ke Hong knows that no matter who takes his place, he must do something, but what can he do in Wallachia? Of course it's against the Russians.

Yes, it doesn't matter that John Russell doesn't want to make a fuss, but that doesn't mean he acquiesced to the Russians arbitrarily expanding their influence in Wallachia, or simply taking Wallachia into their pockets. The state Russell wanted was for Wallachia to return to its original state, neither independent nor annexed by Russia.

Obviously, the current form of Wallachia may not be heading in this direction, at least the Russians will definitely not agree to go all out and toss for a long time but can't get anything. The Russians were bound to expand their influence and sphere of influence in Wallachia.

Obviously, this is in fundamental conflict with Russell's desired state, that is to say, no matter who will succeed Kojon, it is inevitable to hate Russia. And what does Russia need? Naturally, a group of elites who are familiar with Wallachia are needed...
