"I want to hear your opinion!"
Minister Russell smiled at Canning and asked his opinion in a peaceful but majestic tone.
Canning instantly realized that the former Prime Minister and now the Foreign Secretary already had his own ideas. The reason why he asked his own opinions politely was probably to add some persuasion when reporting to Lord Aberdeen. force.
Then Prime Minister Russell... No, it should be Minister Russell's attitude towards the French Empire that is the most crucial link!
Canning, who grasped the essence of the problem, thought carefully about Russell's attitude towards the French Empire during his tenure as prime minister. He firmly believed that a qualified politician would not change his ruling philosophy because of his position.
Guys who can become prime ministers are often the most immature people!
Canning suddenly thought of a "grape news" from a public official.
During Russell's tenure as Prime Minister, Palmerston, then the foreign secretary, had a meeting with the French envoys, after which the two sides seemed to agree on some points.
Maybe the rumors are true? What agreement did Minister Russell really have with France?
Canning had a vague judgment in his heart, and he was in the mentality of giving it a try.
"Your Excellency, I personally think that the reason why the high gate of the Ottoman Empire issued such an order is based on the consideration of the French fleet!" Canning cautiously probed.
"Huh?" Minister Russell spit out an "um" with great interest, and then said, "Go ahead."
"As far as the power of the entire Mediterranean is concerned, the United Kingdom is well-deserved first!" Canning first came to boast, and then continued: "Although the French fleet anchored in the port of Marseille is much weaker than ours, it is still A force not to be underestimated. I think that with the strength of France's own fleet, it is enough to destroy the fleet of the Russian Empire in the Black Sea and the fleet of the Ottoman Empire!"
The number of the French Empire's fleet in the Mediterranean region has indeed aroused the concern of some British legal-terrorism people, but in general, it cannot threaten Britain's maritime hegemony.
Canning was more vigilant than hostile to the naval power of the French Empire.
When the strength of the French fleet is 70% of the United Kingdom fleet, and when there are qualified naval candidates, the United Kingdom will face the French Navy squarely.
The United Kingdom is now fully capable of winning the combined power of the world's second (France) and third (Russia) forces at sea.
"What attitude do you think Britain should take to deal with this ruling?" Russell asked Canning a tricky question, which should have belonged to Russell's category.
"I think the best thing for the Kingdom of Great Britain is to remain the same!" Canning replied to Prime Minister Russell.
The translation is that Britain has nothing to do in this turn of events.
The corner of Russell's mouth rose slightly, and Canning's answer was exactly what Russell thought.
Even so, Chancellor Russell wanted to ask Canning why he thought so.
"Your Excellency Minister!" Canning shrugged, he stretched out his index finger and pointed to the map of Europe hanging behind Russell: "The Russian Empire will never acquiesce to this kind of thing, they will definitely take action! Whether it is from military On a diplomatic level, again! Once they start moving, the whole of Europe will move! By then, it's not too late for the United Kingdom to think about getting in!"
"Very good!" Minister Russell applauded Canning's answer: "Mr. Canning, you are a qualified diplomatic ambassador! Britain is proud to have an ambassador like you!"
"You are overrated!" Canning still had a humble smile on his face.
"Can you please come in and write a report on what you just talked about!" Minister Russell asked Canning in a seemingly negotiating, but commanding tone.
"Of course!" Canning naturally had no right to choose to refuse Russell's mission.
"Okay! Mr. Canning, you must be very tired by boat from Constantinople to London! I won't force you to stay here!" Minister Russell euphemistically issued an expulsion order to Canning.
"Your Excellency, take care!"
Canning got up and left the minister's office, leaving Russell alone in the office thinking.
After a while, the Principal Permanent Secretary himself entered the room, and they took their seats to help Foreign Minister Russell with diplomatic-related documents.
There was only the sound of reading documents in the minister's office. I don't know how long it took, Minister Russell, who was in the state of contemplation, asked again: "When will the Secretary of the Interior come over!"
The permanent secretary and the full-time secretary stopped their work at the same time, and the two had a "communication" through their eyes. Finally, the full-time secretary stood up from his desk and reported to Minister Russell: "Your Excellency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has nothing on the schedule. Meeting the Home Secretary about this!"
"Then add it!" Minister Russell said to the full-time secretary with a tough stance.
"Yes!" The full-time secretary asked cautiously: "I don't know, when do you want to meet the Minister of the Interior!"
"Now! Immediately!" Minister Russell emphasized in a bad tone.
"I'll make arrangements for you!" The full-time secretary dared to delay when he saw this, and he quickly left the Foreign Minister's office.
The chief permanent secretary was uneasy about the whole document, for fear that if he was not careful, he would be angered by Minister Russell.
This period still belongs to the era of nobles, and the power of civil servants has not reached its peak, so they must carefully crawl under the feet of noble ministers and obey their orders.
About half an hour later, the full-time secretary returned to the Foreign Minister's Office to report to Russell: "Your Excellency, the Home Secretary, Lord Palmerston, will be here soon!"
Minister Russell nodded lightly, waiting for Palmerston to arrive.
Ten minutes later, the door of the minister's office rang again, and the full-time secretary near the door quickly got up and opened the door.
The Home Secretary, Lord Palmerston, was standing outside the door.
"Your Excellency!" The full-time secretary saluted Palmerston respectfully.
Facing the full-time secretary without a title, Palmerston just nodded slightly.
Russell, who was sitting in the minister's chair, also got up to greet Palmerston when he saw him.
Palmerston and Russell, the former "enemies", are now living in harmony in the third party's cabinet.
"Go! Talk in the back room!" Russell invited Palmerston to talk in the back room.
Before the two entered the back room, Russell deliberately ordered the chief permanent secretary and full-time secretary to leave the minister's office.
After watching the permanent secretary and full-time secretary change to the office door, Russell and Palmerston entered the back room and closed the back room door.
Russell, who was sitting on the black woolen cushion sofa, first opened the humidor placed on the table, took out a cigar and handed it to Palmerston, and then lit the cigar for him.
Then he took out another cigar and lit it for himself. After a while, the whole room was hazy like a "Wonderland".
Palmerston and Russell began to talk about the Ottoman Empire.
"You must be very clear about the Ottoman Empire! I won't go into too much detail!" Minister Russell said to Palmerston.
"The general situation, I have almost understood! His Majesty Napoleon III of the French Empire is really restless!" Palmerston's words revealed a hint of sarcasm. Nabas had no goodwill, and certainly no malice.
It's just that this action by France did make Palmerston a little uncomfortable.
"That's right!" Russell nodded sympathetically and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has been advocating peace in Europe, and now it seems that he is the most unpeaceful person!"
Palmerston took a sharp puff of his cigar, then exhaled a puff of smoke recklessly: "Now that the situation is very clear, the Russian Empire will never let this matter go! They will definitely take action!"
"I think so too!" Minister Russell nodded again and agreed with Palmerston's point of view: "It's just that the Russian Empire will use military aspects or make a fuss about diplomacy!"
"I estimate that he is likely to have a two-pronged approach! Not only does he make a fuss about the military, but he also persecutes the Ottoman Empire diplomatically, and by the way, draws the United Kingdom!" Palmerston replied to Minister Russell.
Then, the corner of Palmerston's mouth revealed a trace of disdain: "Our Mr. Prime Minister is a guy who is close to the Russian Empire! I'm not sure what agreement the Kingdom of Britain will reach with the Russian Empire!"
"That's right!" Minister Russell said with emotion: "Except for a small number of ministers in the entire cabinet, most of them are close to the ministers of the Russian Empire! Not to mention them~www.novelhall.com~ even outside Downing Street Those guys aren't like that either!"
By the guys outside Downing Street Russell was referring to the London public opinion scene.
After the establishment of the French Empire, British public opinion always held a certain hostility to the French Empire. In order to stifle the French Empire, they were even willing to compromise with the Russian Empire.
Palmerston and Russell saw the threat of the Russian Empire to Britain's interests in the Near East before they chose to join forces with the French Empire against the Russian Empire.
"In the end, our Prime Minister is not a qualified politician at all! He will only follow the swing of public opinion!" Palmerston continued to mock Lord Aberdeen unreservedly.
"Now one of us is the foreign secretary and the other is the home secretary, and we have no decision-making power at all for the policy of the country, and all power is concentrated around Aberdeen and his allies!" Russell tried to seek another reconciliation with Palmerston. alliance.
"Yes! We must do something for Britain!"
Palmerston also left no trace of the league's wishes.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
