Chapter 863: The Envoy Case Breaks Out

In the Prime Minister's Office in Downing Street, the atmosphere at this time was particularly strange.

Prime Minister Gladstone roared: "What does the police department do and why does this happen?"

There is no way, just a few hours ago, White-Nicholas, the Russian minister in London, was attacked on his way to the British Foreign Office, and now he has seen God.

Not to mention that Britain and Russia have not yet officially started a war, even if it has already started, the British government can only expel the Russian minister at most, and it must also ensure the personal safety of people before they leave.

According to the rules of the game, governments of all countries are obliged to protect the personal safety of foreign ministers. Now that the Russian minister has an accident, the British government is to blame.

Police Secretary Rogers replied bitterly: "It was a total accident, Minister White was on his way to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was met by protesters.

The reporters who followed the people came forward to interview, and Minister White's answer was a bit extreme, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the people, and the two sides clashed.

Although the accompanying police stopped the crowd, it was unknown who took the lead in throwing debris at Minister White. A stone just hit Minister White's head, and the rescue was unsuccessful. He died on the spot. "

The explanation is to cover up, the incident has already happened, and the police's security work has not been done well.

It seems to be an accidental conflict. Is there such a coincidence?

Prime Minister Gladstone was deeply skeptical, sarcastically saying: "It's all accidental coincidence, and the Police Department is not responsible at all.

So tell me, the accident happened on the most prosperous street in London, how did the flying stones come from? "

Accidental encounters and language conflicts are understandable. After all, the two sides have different positions.

But the flying stones are very problematic. If there were stones on the most prosperous street in London, sanitation workers would have cleaned it up long ago.

To participate in demonstrations, bring some bread, everyone can understand, who is full and supports a stone?

Even if an individual has quirks, it is impossible for a group of people to have quirks. There is only one stone that hits the key point, but there are many stones that attack Minister White.

Police Secretary Rogers explained: "According to the suspects arrested by police, the stones were intended to be used to break glass.

We have confirmed that the demonstrations were directed towards the Russian embassy. Recently, it was the third time that people smashed the glass of the Russian embassy.

Combining all kinds of information, we can determine that this is an accident, mainly because the Russians are too deceiving.

According to the on-site personnel, when the reporter asked the Russian army to attack our troops in Afghanistan, Minister White publicly shouted: What if we did it?

This sentence sparked outrage among the people, and then what happened next.

The incident happened so suddenly that the police officers responsible for protecting Minister White's safety had no time to disperse the crowd. "

To avoid the heavy is to be light, and artistic processing is equal to the final answer.

It's not that Rogers is irresponsible, it's mainly this kind of thing, there's no way to go further, the best way is to close the case as soon as possible.

The longer things drag on, the bigger the trouble behind them. No matter how the government decides, in the hearts of many people, the person who killed Minister White was a hero of Britain.

Prime Minister Gladstone hesitated, the people didn't know what was going on, how could these planners not know.

The Russian army's sneak attack on the British garrison in Afghanistan was a fake, and it was naturally impossible for the Russians who took the blame to admit it.

White, the Russian minister in London, was a straight man. It is normal to be provoked by reporters and say a few extreme words.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, George, the Foreign Secretary, said: "The matter has reached this stage, it doesn't matter how Minister White died.

No matter what answer is given, the Russians will not accept it, and we must prepare for the worst. "

No country will accept such a puzzling explanation until the death of a minister has been compensated by benefits.

There is no doubt that the relationship between Britain and Russia has broken down, and it is impossible for the British government to offer benefits to compensate the enemy now.

"Ugh!"

Prime Minister Gladstone sighed.

At first, the blame was given to the Russians, just to quell the adverse effects of the defeat on the front line and avoid a political crisis.

Because of its geographical location, it was impossible for Britain to attack the Russians, no matter how violent the civil commotion was.

Although the old men in Congress often have a headache, they are very clear about one thing, that is, they have no confidence in the British Army.

They did not take the initiative to provoke war, and the tsarist government was not prepared for a long-term war. Because of verbal conflict, the possibility of war breaking out was almost zero, and there was no need to worry about the situation getting out of control.

According to the original plan, the relationship between Britain and Russia continued to deteriorate, and the diplomacy was slowly wrangling.

However, the plan did not change quickly. The Russian minister was beaten to death in public, and the British and Russian governments were cornered.

The British government could not give a satisfactory answer to the Russians, and because of political factors, it could not even hand over the murderer.

From the London police's definition of the incident as an accident, it can be seen that those guys did not do their best under the influence of public opinion.

The British government has difficulties, so why not the Russian government?

Originally, with the defeat of the British army in Afghanistan, the power of the main war faction in the tsarist government expanded sharply.

Now it happened again

If there is no satisfactory answer to this matter, no one but God can prevent the outbreak of war.

After hesitating for a moment, Prime Minister Gladstone said slowly: "Order the Governor-General of India to prepare for the war with all his strength, and prepare domestically as well.

The Indian colonies alone are not the opponents of the Russians. Once the war breaks out, we will send troops to reinforce Afghanistan in the shortest possible time.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues its diplomatic efforts, and if possible, this war can still be fought without a fight. "

Afghanistan has already started. For the British government, the most important thing now is to clear the area as soon as possible and re-establish social order. Going to go to war with the Russians at this time is a pure loss-making business.

If they win the war, they are unable to enter Central Asia; if they lose the war, not only will the newly acquired Afghanistan be thrown away, but even the Indian colonies will always be threatened by the Russians.

...

Despite the British government's efforts to block the news, the murder of the Russian envoy was passed on as if it had grown wings.

When the news reached the Vienna Palace, it was already the next afternoon. Franz's first reaction to the news was - impossible.

"A country's minister was beaten to death in public", isn't this an international joke?

The British define it as "accidental", and this has to be believed.

Whether it's a flying stone accidental injury, or something else. In short, the "Minister's Case" has been linked to conspiracy from the very beginning.

As for who is behind the scenes, this question is difficult to answer. It's not that it's hard to guess, it's mainly because there are too many suspects.

The mastermind behind the scenes can be the enemy of the British, the enemy of the Russians, or even the main fighting faction of Britain and Russia.

If you want to go deeper, you will find that Britain and Russia are both kings of hatred, and their enemies together are equal to the whole world.

The more black hands, the better. For Franz, this kind of hidden behind-the-scenes counterpart must also be vigilant.

"From the analysis of the current international situation, who do you think is most likely to do it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Franz felt that he had asked a silly question. When it comes to suspicion, Austria is definitely one of the best.

In order to provoke the Anglo-Russian war, the Vienna government could have done a lot. Some of them can't even be kept secret.

Foreign Secretary Weisenberg replied: "In terms of suspicion, we and the French are the most suspect. After excluding us, the most likely is the French.

However, this inference is not very reasonable. There are many ways to provoke the Anglo-Russian war. Under normal circumstances, the French government would not attack a country's ministers. "

Deep down, Franz was still a little embarrassed. Thinking back to the past..., forget it, don't think about it, the dark history that can't be seen makes it disappear in the long river of history.

However, Wesenberg's reasoning is not a problem. Under normal circumstances, politicians will not choose extreme means.

After all, this is a high-risk job. If the news is exposed, it will be a big event. At the same time, offending Britain and Russia to death would be a complete idiot.

Even if it is necessary to do something, everyone will choose to use a knife to kill, and if you want to check, you can only find the man who is the back.

Franz shook his head: "Forget it, leave this problem to the British and Russian governments to deal with!

No matter who is behind the scenes, in the short term, it's still good for us.

At this juncture, this kind of thing happened, and the Anglo-Russian war was almost inevitable.

Then we don't need to mix it up, we leave the stage to Britain and Russia, and we can just watch their performances. "

The more critical the moment, the less likely it is to take the lead. Wouldn't it be unfair if the UK and Russia were used as the mastermind behind the scenes?

This kind of thing can only be smeared more and more black, but there is no way to prove innocence. But if you are involved in it, don't think about washing it out.
