Just as Jerome Bonaparte was in full swing to clear up the British spy in Paris, the British ambassador to France, Coates, who had been confirmed by many parties, also sent a telegram to London.

The telegraph operator sitting next to the telegraph machine immediately transcribed the message and handed it over to the foreign secretary, the Earl of Clarendon.

After reading the telegram, Earl Clarendon quickly folded the telegram and put it in his pocket, then called his secretary.

"Your Excellency!" said the secretary respectfully to the Earl of Clarendon.

"I'm going to No. 10 Downing Street soon, and all the following agendas will be postponed for a while! If you really can't push it, cancel it for me!" Earl Clarendon gave the secretary an order.

"Yes! Your Excellency!" the secretary hurriedly replied to Earl Clarendon.

Then the Earl of Clarendon got up and strode away from the British Foreign Office.

Since the Foreign Office and the Prime Minister's Office are not too far away (both are in Downing Street), the Earl of Clarendon did not choose to travel by car, but walked there.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Earl Clarendon arrived at the Prime Minister's mansion and met the Cabinet Secretary and the Prime Minister's secretary who were guarding the door of the Prime Minister's office.

"Hello, Minister!" After seeing Earl Clarendon, the cabinet secretary quickly got up and bowed to Earl Clarendon.

The Secretary to the Prime Minister also rose and saluted the Earl of Clarendon.

"Is the Prime Minister in there, does he have time?" Earl Clarendon did not make too many greetings, but went straight to the Cabinet Secretary.

"I'll take a look!" The cabinet secretary turned over the itinerary memorandum on the table, glanced at it, and said to Earl Clarendon: "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister has an hour to go to the House of Representatives to receive members. question!

If you have something urgent you want to talk to the Prime Minister, you better hurry up!

The Prime Minister is resting inside now! "

"I will as soon as possible!" Earl Clarendon nodded to the Cabinet Secretary in response.

The cabinet secretary pushed open the door and entered the office.

At this time, Palmerston was resting on the table, and the entry of the cabinet secretary did not wake up the prime minister who had stayed up for several consecutive nights.

The cabinet secretary slowly came to Prime Minister Palmerston, and pushed gently with his hand a few times: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, Your Excellency Prime Minister! Wake up!"

Palmerston, who was pushed back and forth by the cabinet secretary, slowly woke up from his dream. He opened his hazy night and said lazily, "Is it time?"

"No! Prime Minister!" the cabinet secretary hurriedly explained to Palmerston: "It's the Foreign Secretary!"

"Ha!" Palmerston yawned again, then rubbed his sleepy eyes and said to the cabinet secretary: "You let him stand at the door and wait for me for 5 minutes!"

"Yes! Prime Minister!" The cabinet secretary left Palmerston's office and closed the door for Palmerston.

"The Prime Minister wants you to wait for him for 5 minutes!" The cabinet secretary who walked out of the room told Palmerston's words to Earl Clarendon.

"I see!" Earl Clarendon nodded and replied to the cabinet secretary, then stood quietly at the door waiting.

Five minutes later, the cabinet secretary entered the prime minister's office.

After a while, the cabinet secretary came out again, smiled and said to Earl Clarendon: "Your Excellency Minister, you can go in!

"

"Yeah!" Earl Clarendon nodded and entered with a steady pace.

The Earl of Clarendon, who had just stepped into the office, immediately turned his attention to Palmerston, who was sitting in the back chair. At this moment, he was no longer the lazy look he used to be, and the whole person was like a Like a sharp blade that hides its edge.

"Willis, you're here!" Palmerston said to Earl Clarendon with a smile, then stretched out his hand to invite Earl Clarendon: "Please sit down!"

Earl Clarendon sat opposite Palmerston, and Palmerston then asked, "Has your Ministry of Foreign Affairs already found out what I asked you to investigate last time!"

"Yes!" The Earl of Clarendon handed the telegram from his pocket into Palmerston's hands.

Palmerston glanced at the contents of the telegram with a look of surprise on his face, and then he raised his head again and seriously said to Earl Clarendon: "Willis, what do you think of the authenticity of Ambassador Coats' telegram? France? Are you deceiving us!"

Earl Clarendon shook his head and analyzed Palmerston seriously: "I don't think there should be any doubts about the authenticity of this telegram. You should also be very clear about Ambassador Coats' loyalty to the Kingdom of Great Britain!"

"Of course I know Mr. Coats' love for Britain!" Palmerston said to the Earl of Clarendon, "but this does not rule out that Ambassador Coats was unilaterally deceived by France!

Don't you think it's too much of a fanfare for France to send a warship to **** 5,000 people to Gabon!

And why do they do it! "

"I don't know!" Earl Clarendon paused and tentatively put forward his own ideas, "Maybe they want to expand their territory!"

"Expanding territory? In West Africa?" Palmerston was obviously unwilling to believe that Jerome Bonaparte was eyeing West Africa, because the land in West Africa was not very valuable in his opinion.

If the land of West Africa is good, the British kingdom will not be left alone.

So far, the countries associated with Britain in West Africa have no other territory than a Nigerian protectorate.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, apart from this, we really have no other suitable reason!" The Earl of Clarendon responded to Palmerston.

"By the way, what method did Coats use to obtain this information!" Palmerston asked again.

Earl Clarendon shook his head and said to Palmerston: "Ambassador Coates didn't tell me the specific situation! However, I think he probably used the secret line we buried in Paris!"

"You mean those guys?" Palmerston remembered a document that the War Department had handed him.

The document said: In order to prevent the French Empire from launching an attack on the Kingdom of Britain one day in the future, the Ministry of War hopes to form a department for monitoring Paris, which is responsible for recruiting members lurking in Paris to secretly monitor every move in Paris...all Members will be under the direct command of the War Department.

Palmerston, who had read the document at that time, felt that the idea of ​​the document was very good, and it was conducive to the conduct of diplomatic work.

So Palmerston immediately approved the War Department's plan.

However, when establishing this department, Palmerston also specifically emphasized that ambassadors abroad also have the right to "guide" members of the department.

"That's right! Those guys from the War Department!" Earl Clarendon affirmed Palmerston's response.

Palmerston pondered silently for a moment, and then said to Earl Clarendon: "Willis, your department has done a very good job this time!"

"Thank you for your compliment!" replied the Earl of Clarendon humbly.

Immediately afterwards, Palmerston and Clarendon exchanged again for the Qajar Dynasty's intention to take Herat. Both of them believed that the Qajar Dynasty was destroying Central Asia and finally established it. peace, and once the Qajar Dynasty succeeded in this action, it would inevitably breed more ambitions.

A Herat will not be able to satisfy the desires of the Qajar dynasty, and they will set their sights on Afghanistan and try to bring Afghanistan back into their pockets.

At that time, India will fall into the point of being threatened by the Qajar dynasty.

In order to maintain the security around India, the British kingdom must fight against the Qajar dynasty.

"I am going to the House of Representatives soon to convince the members of the House of Representatives to agree to attack the Qajar Dynasty!

Only in this way can the ambition of the Qajar Dynasty to annex Herat be completely smashed! "Like a fighter about to enter the arena, Palmerston responded to Earl Clarendon with fighting spirit.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I wish you success in advance!" The Earl of Clarendon congratulated Prime Minister Palmerston against his will.

He knew that Palmerston's trip to the House of Lords this time would surely win the approval of the aristocratic members of the House of Lords, because most of those members of the House of Lords invested their money in India.

The prosperity of India is directly related to the dividends they can get, so they dare not let the Qajar Dynasty shake the safety of India.

Palmerston's trip to the House of Lords this time was nothing but a cutscene.

"I hope so!" Palmerston smiled and left the Prime Minister's Office with the Earl of Clarendon.



When Palmerston, who was questioned by the House of Lords, was asked by the aristocratic members of the House of Lords whether he intended to instigate the war between the British Kingdom and the Qajar Dynasty, so as to reach the question of his own continued stay in the position of Prime Minister, Palmerston Righteously said to the upper house: he himself never thought of using war to stabilize his position. The reason why he proposed a war with the Qajar Dynasty here was entirely to safeguard the interests of the British Kingdom in India.

"If the Qajar Dynasty is still unwilling to stop after the annexation of Herat, then their next target must be Afghanistan, and then the whole of India!

They invaded India just like their ancestors did, destroying the system we finally built there!

If Britain loses its market in India, our factories will go bankrupt in batches and our bonds will become worthless! "Palmeston did his best to preach the threat of the Qajar to India, and the importance of India to the Kingdom of Britain.

After hearing what Palmerston said, the House of Representatives, who were originally afraid of the Qajar Dynasty's attack on Herat, became more inclined towards Palmerston.

When Palmerston finished his speech, members of the House of Lords applauded Palmerston.

Subsequently, the Speaker of the House of Lords announced that the voting on "whether to take countermeasures against the upcoming military operations of the Qajar Dynasty" officially began. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Members of the House of Lords raised their votes in favor, and only a small number of aristocratic members who were inclined to the left chose to oppose it.

After the vote, the parliamentarians who agreed to the countermeasures won the victory with an absolute advantage. Only after the House of Commons went through a process, the Kingdom of Britain could declare that it would fight against the Qajar Dynasty at any time.

A few days later, the House of Commons also began a heated vote.

The vote this time was obviously stronger than in the House of Lords, with those who agreed to take countermeasures almost tied with those who disagreed.

In the end, there were slightly more votes in favor of taking countermeasures than in those who disapproved.

The weak advantage of the House of Commons won the victory, and the House officially granted Palmerston the right to declare war on the Qajar Dynasty. Palmerston then handed this right to the Duke of Cambridge who was about to go to Central Asia, and told him to use it carefully. rights.
