Struggle in Russia

Chapter 294 Temptation (Part 1)

As Russell secretly made troubles, Palmerston was unable to use his strength, and there was no good way to deal with John Walter who was attacking him more and more. He can't take the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and directly hit the door of "The Times".

After running around for a while, Palmerston had no choice but to go to Russell. He knew that the best way to get out of the current predicament was to let Russell solve the problem. Although he was very reluctant to go to Russell, and he was even less willing to beg this bastard in a humble manner, but as the focus of all London's attention was on the case of Robert Cohon and the shocking melons he was involved in, he had to Let go of yourself.

"Your Excellency, the "Times" has become more and more outrageous. If they are allowed to go on like this, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Russell, on the other hand, acted like Mr. Jiang was fishing. He was very satisfied with John Walter's performance. The newspaper seller really kept his promise. The focus of his attacks was always on Robert Cohon and Palmerston. Swear at him or make insinuations.

Especially after hearing reports from his subordinates that Palmerston was running around and bumping up and down in the past few days, Russell was even happier, and his appetite improved.

Russell was full of joy in his stomach while pretending to be surprised and asked back: "Well, haven't I given you full authority to handle this matter?"

Without waiting for Palmerston to answer, Russell said again: "Why can't you even handle such a small matter? If you read these newspapers following the trend, the city is full of trouble!"

Palmerston was a little dazed and kind. He felt that Russell's attitude was a bit strange. You did leave it to me to handle it, but you asked other departments to cooperate with me. Can I, the foreign minister, order the interior minister to seal the door? Isn't this nonsense!

What's more, since you have seen the commotion all over the city, why don't you take the initiative to intervene? Even if you call me over to ask a question! But you didn't do anything. If I don't come to the door today, you are still watching the show and eating melons on purpose. It doesn't look like you are in a hurry!

However, Palmerston knew that now was not the time to rant, let alone talk to Russell, and he was still looking forward to Russell's relief. What if he was angered by this guy, left him alone or made trouble?

So Palmerston swallowed and replied: "Sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Russell immediately felt that it was refreshing, more comfortable than eating watermelon during the dog days, and finally made you bow your head, it would be great if you were so well-behaved earlier, what a pity! You woke up too late, just stand aside honestly!

Russell pretended to click his tongue, and said in a tangled voice: "You just haven't considered things thoroughly, I told you a long time ago,

Be cautious! be careful! Look at you, how big a basket you have poked, what's the use of saying you didn't think of it at this time! "

Without waiting for Palmerston to open his mouth, Russell taught himself a lesson: "I told you before, pay attention to that Robert Cohon, this man is too courageous, he dares to do anything out of his temper... then You still defended him at that time, look, what messed up things he has done!"

"Let me tell you, another member of the parliament is planning to launch a motion to thoroughly investigate Robert Cochon and ask me to remove you from office. Now I'm overwhelmed and overwhelmed. Tell me, what should I do!"

Palmerston was stunned, because he hadn't heard a little bit of wind, didn't he hear that someone was going to fuck him? How come Russell has a nose and eyes, and it seems that he is already holding his impeachment meeting? In addition, what did you mean when Russell asked me what to do at the end?

Palmerston had a very bad guess. He felt that Russell was putting pressure on him in disguise, and he didn't mean to help him solve the trouble at all. And this also means that he, the foreign minister, is likely to be the end!

Suddenly, Palmerston's heart skipped a beat. John Russell's government had not been easy since forming a cabinet, especially when the first cabinet failed because Lord Gray refused to join a cabinet with him in charge of foreign affairs. Later, when the reorganization of the cabinet was finally successful, Russell warned him not to go his own way and strictly control his behavior and mouth, otherwise he would bear all the consequences.

At first, Palmerston didn't take this promise seriously, and did what he should do, it was a rush. Although this also caused a lot of conflicts and conflicts between him and Russell, it finally subsided, which also made him less serious about that promise.

Today, Palmerston felt that Russell might use that promise to talk things out!

After thinking about it for a while, Palmerston felt that he couldn't sit still. He tentatively said, "Is the parliament making a fuss over a molehill? Robert Cohorn has always been reliable. I think he has done a good job in Wallachia. It is not appropriate to take him down at this time!" "

On the surface, it seems that Palmerston is talking about Cohon, but in fact he is exploring the way for himself. If Russell really wants to win him, then he will definitely not be lenient towards Cohon. Likely to slash at Cojon. Taking Ke Hong is actually a ulterior motive, and it is a further warning to him!

Sure enough, after a short silence, Russell replied seriously: "I don't know if the parliament is making a fuss out of a molehill, but I only know that Kehong has caused extremely bad influence and made us very passive. This kind of behavior is absolutely not allowed!"

Palmerston immediately thought it was bad, but before he could speak, Russell said: "Now it seems that it is the best way to let Ke Hong leave his job temporarily. It is more beneficial to let him stay away from the cusp and away from the public eye. Otherwise, with Judging from the current situation, he will inevitably implicate you, no, it should be said that he has already implicated you."

"If he continues to stay in Wallachia, it is very likely to trigger a crisis of confidence, which will directly lead to the collapse of this government! My friend, you should not want to see this happen!"

Palmerston frowned. He probably knew Russell's attitude, that is, Cohorn would definitely pack up and leave. If he disagreed, then Russell would use strong methods, and it would be very ugly at that time.

This made Palmerston's face dark immediately. Not being able to keep Cojon was definitely a huge blow to him, but he also had a deeper worry-whether Russell was behind the sudden attack by the "Times" Black hands!

If Russell was behind it, then everything would make sense, why the Home Office ignored his demands, and why The Times got hold of Cohorn's black material, all of which must have something to do with Russell.

Now Palmerston is very worried that Russell may not be satisfied with just taking Cohon away. Isn't this old bastard playing a big game?
