At the same time that the British Foreign Office received a telegram from the French Embassy, the Telegraph Office of The Times also received a message from the French Hawass Agency...or in the name of Hawass Agency.
When the Times telegraph operator translated Morse code into text and read it through, he immediately broke into the editor-in-chief's office that was left behind at The Times.
"Editor-in-chief, big news! Big news!" the telegraph operator shouted to the editor-in-chief who was lying on the table while shaking the telegram in his hand.
The editor-in-chief, who heard the call of the telegraph operator, opened his sleepy eyes, yawned and asked lazily, "What's the big news?"
"Look! Look!" The telegraph operator hurriedly slapped the telegram in front of the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief picked up the telegram and began to check the contents of the telegram. After a while, the originally lazy editor-in-chief actually froze "miraculously".
"It's really big news!" The editor-in-chief clenched his fists excitedly and said, "It must be on the front page, and it must have a striking headline... It must also appear in today's newspaper!"
"However, the editor-in-chief of our newspaper today has already started printing and typeset! If we let the workers re-edit the typesetting, I am afraid it will cost a lot of money. Or wait a day!" The telegraph operator based on cost considerations suggested to the editor-in-chief road.
"No! Can't wait until tomorrow!" The editor-in-chief said firmly, and then explained to the telegraph operator: "The most important thing in news is timeliness and timeliness! The success of a newspaper depends on whether it has first-hand information! One day's publication will certainly save us a cost, but the impact is indeed irreversible by ten times the cost.
We must not allow our loyal subscribers to lag behind in the news! "
"Other newspapers? You mean other newspapers besides us have also received this news?" the telegraph operator asked suspiciously.
"I can be sure! This news is definitely not only received by our family. Many influential newspapers may have received this news!" The editor-in-chief responded to the telegraph operator in a determined tone.
"Why would they do this?" the telegraph operator was still puzzled.
"We don't need to understand why! We just need to know that when we received the telegram, we already had a competitor!" The editor-in-chief responded to the telegraph operator, and then gave him an order: "You immediately Go to the printing house and tell the workers at the printing house to stop printing immediately and wait for the next move!"
"Yes!" The telegraph operator who received the order quickly replied.
"Go!" The editor-in-chief waved his hand and reminded, "Remember to act fast!"
The editor-in-chief, who watched the telegraph operator leave the office, opened the drawer and took out the paper and pen. This time he was going to polish the short news and make it a more readable article. .
After sitting in the office and polishing for more than an hour, a brand new article appeared on the paper.
After reading the article carefully, the editor-in-chief is quite satisfied with the article he has written.
Although I said that I haven't written an article for a long time, my pen power has not declined in any way.
"It's enough to have a title that matches this article!" The editor-in-chief murmured, and then wrote one title after another on another piece of scrap paper.
However, he was dissatisfied with every title, and always felt that there was a lack of criticism.
"What should be the title?" The editor-in-chief scratched his head vigorously.
The editor-in-chief, who really couldn't think of the title, had to find out all the recent newspapers at home and abroad, and he hoped to find the answer from these newspapers.
It wasn't until he saw a headline in the "Bonaparte" that inspiration flooded into his brain like a fountain.
The editor-in-chief seized the opportunity to quickly record his thoughts, and an article with the headline "A Letter to the Prime Minister of Britain" "appeared" on the scratch paper.
After writing the article, the editor-in-chief glanced at the time. At this time, there were nearly 3 hours before dawn (5:00), so he had to hurry up.
So, the editor-in-chief was going to the printing factory to explain the task in person.
...
When the editor-in-chief arrived at the gate of the printing house, the entire printing house was eerily quiet, and all the workers in the printing house seemed to have left.
"No way! Didn't I tell them to wait!" Looking at the quiet printing factory in front of him, the editor-in-chief felt a sense of anxiety.
Just when the editor-in-chief thought that the printing house was empty, a figure came out of the printing house.
The figure glanced at the editor-in-chief standing under the gas lamp and hurriedly said, "Editor-in-chief, you are here!"
The editor-in-chief walked quickly in front of him. It turned out that the figure was the telegraph operator of the printing factory. He hurriedly asked, "What is going on here? Why is there no movement in the printing house?"
"Didn't you say don't start work? So I didn't let the workers start work!" The telegraph operator responded to the editor-in-chief,
"Look at my brain!" The editor-in-chief just remembered that he really told them not to do it.
Who would have thought that after writing an article, he would forget about this matter.
"You immediately hand this over to the workers in the printing plant, and let them hurry up!" The editor-in-chief handed the article over to the telegraph operator and said to him.
"Okay!" The telegraph operator nodded and entered the printing house.
The editor-in-chief also followed closely into the printing house.
"Wake up! Wake up! I'm still working!" The workers who were sleeping were awake with a voice, and they forced themselves to fall asleep and started working.
After about two and a half hours of work, tens of thousands of newspapers were produced by the workers of the printing house.
The editor-in-chief nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the newspapers that were still wet with ink hanging on the rope.
After half an hour, the ink will solidify.
...
When the first rays of dawn emerged from the shimmering waters of the Thames, the editor-in-chief began to order the workers of the printing house to remove all the papers from the ropes.
Exhausted printer workers were reluctant to put away tens of thousands of newspapers.
At this time, it was about 6 o'clock. Newsboys from all over London came to the door of the printing house as if they had agreed in advance. They lined up to wait for the newspapers.
"One by one!" The editor-in-chief enthusiastically instructed the workers to distribute the newspapers to the newsboys, and then instructed the newsboys to sell more newspapers.
After all the newsboys got their own newspaper, the editor-in-chief looked at the rest of the newspapers.
By this time it was 7:00 am, and the newspaper delivery man of The Times arrived at the printing house.
"This is yours...this is yours..." The editor-in-chief handed the newspaper to the home delivery man, and instructed them to deliver the newspaper to the subscribers.
Although the deliverymen present were all wondering why the editor-in-chief appeared here, none of them dared to ask the editor-in-chief.
After all the newspapers were distributed, a sense of exhaustion swept over the editor-in-chief.
"I went back to rest! You should go back early too!" The editor-in-chief yawned and said to the telegraph operator, then left the printing house.
...
Nine o'clock in the morning, 10 Downing Street mansion.
As the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Palmerston officially started his new day at work.
He first asked his private secretary about his schedule for today. The private secretary shook his head and told Palmerston that there were no plans for today.
If there is no emergency...
"So, I can have a proper day off!" Palmerston responded to the private secretary with a smile as he walked to the sofa and sat down.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, of course!" The private secretary nodded respectfully.
"That's good!" Palmerston nodded, and then ordered to the private secretary: "Can you help me get the Times newspaper on the table! I'll take a look!"
Palmerston, a loyal user of The Times, doesn't want to miss any issue.
Although the Times now criticizes him far more than praises him, this has not diminished Palmerston's interest in the Times.
After all, which cabinet has not been criticized by The Times, how can it be prime minister if it can't stand even a little criticism.
"Yes! Prime Minister!" The private secretary handed Palmerston the paper.
Palmerston, who took over The Times, looked at the headline titled "A Letter to the Prime Minister of Britain" in the Times, and was convinced that the content of the Times was probably a criticism of a cabinet minister.
After all, who has nothing to write to the Prime Minister!
Thinking of this, Palmerston couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune, but he was very happy to see his ministers slumped~www.novelhall.com~ After all, most of the ministers who formed the cabinet with him are not with him. How many people he has in common, and even some who oppose him.
After the Aberdeen cabinet was overthrown, the cabinet formed by Palmerston was a hard-line cabinet in name, but it was actually a cabinet under the guise of a hard-line.
The members of the cabinet dealt with the Russian Empire very differently from Palmerston, and some cabinet ministers believed that the British Kingdom, which had occupied the fortress of Sevastopol, should stop and negotiate with Russia as soon as possible. Another part argues that the British kingdom should open a dialogue with the Russian Empire after the occupation of Crimea.
Palmerston himself was dissatisfied with both sections.
According to his ideas, the Russian Empire must be completely direct, the Caucasus, Crimea, and the coast (Odessa) should restore the rule of the Ottoman Empire, Finland should be returned to Sweden, and Poland should be established as a Grand Duchy of Poland, The Kingdom of Prussia can expand to the Baltic Sea, the Austrian Empire should expand to Bessarabia...
In short, in Palmerston's blueprint, the best outcome for the Russian Empire is to return to the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
