Chapter 269: The Claws of Prussia

The second more

The inside of the London Police Department seems to be calm, but the entire lobby of the main building of the Foreign Affairs Department of Whitehall on King Charles Street has exploded. Except for the previous French support for Prussia at Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street during the war between Denmark and Prussia, the ambassador to the foreign country never came to the door in person because of other political events.

Having learned about the cause and effect of the incident from Turgenev's mouth, in order to present herself in front of Napoleon III, she decided to visit her home in person to resolve this "serious" diplomatic incident.

And today's appearance at the door made Count Russell feel a little pressure. The Foreign Secretary and the Chancellor, who also held the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer, were called the three most important positions in Great Britain, and he had to brace himself to face the possible reproach of the French Chancellor.

"Your Excellency Revause, long time no see. We haven't sat down together since the last Schleswig incident. ”

Count Russell barely managed to squeeze out a smile, to be honest, he didn't really want to face the aggressive French diplomatic ambassador, especially his stinking and hard diplomatic attitude like Napoleon III, which made people feel full of malice from the stupid donkeys of Paris. And Great Britain's foreign policy has always been that the French need to be more wary of than the Russians.

"Count Russell, I have only come this time for one thing, a prominent minister of His Majesty Napoleon III was arrested today, and he was also slandered as a revolutionary party and arrested in the police station, what do you think will happen this time?"

Like a thunderbolt blasting in his ears, Count Russell felt a buzzing sound in his ears, he rubbed his cheeks, thinking that he had misheard just now, and asked again, "Excuse me, Lord Reihuas, please repeat what you just said, I didn't seem to hear it clearly." ”

"His Majesty Napoleon's important servant Garrian has been arrested by the London Police, and is now in a prison cell, and intends to frame him on the charge of the revolutionary, Earl Russell, do you British think that the French have the potential to be a revolutionary?"

However, Reihuas's condemnation did not stop, and he and Earl Russell had almost broken up in the diplomatic affairs of Prussia and Denmark before, and at this time he had to seize this opportunity to refute each other fiercely.

"And what's even more infuriating is that Garion was attacked by the Revolutionary Party gunmen before, and you ended up slandering the other party as a Revolutionary Party, I think London is deliberately retaliating because we were on the side of Prussia before, right?"

With a bang, the teacup in Russell's hand almost fell to the ground, and every word the other party said made his heart tremble, if it weren't for the French diplomatic ambassador at this time, he would have wanted to shoot the chief of the London Police.

The revolutionary party is not good at grasping it, and it does some head-killing things.

Russell's aggressive attitude left Russell speechless, and if it was as Ambassador Reivas said, then they would be at a loss for words.

Earl Russell said righteously, "This, we will investigate this matter thoroughly to the end, rest assured, we will do what we need to do." ”

"It's your business what to do, now that our man is still being held in the London Police, shouldn't we send someone to release him first? As long as he, or the outcome of the handling has a half-point difference, it is a serious diplomatic incident. ”

The subtext of Reivas is that France will not interfere in your internal problems, but if we are not given a satisfactory answer, then France will continue to protest, and as for the madness of Napoleon III, it is not known whether he will protest with arms, or verbally.

"Okay, I know how to do it."

Earl Russell was in a cold sweat behind his back, and if this topic went deeper, I am afraid that it would not be as simple as a diplomatic mistake, and this time Whitehall was completely dumbfounded.

"I'll just sit here and wait."

Reivas took out his pocket watch and looked at it, looked at him calmly, and said, "In two hours, I'm going to see Garion sitting here intact." ”

A bright light suddenly appeared in the dark interrogation room, causing Garion's eyes to squint involuntarily, and when he really got used to the light, he saw the two standing in the doorway, wearing black coats with low brims, as if unwilling to let others see what they looked like.

The atmosphere became silent and eerie.

The policeman, who had been invincible just now, nodded and stood behind him at this time.

"Let's go."

One of them said to the policeman behind him, "I'll leave the rest to us, you've all seen the paperwork, and if it's okay, we'll take him away." What happens after that is our business. ”

"Okay, okay."

The policeman retreated with great interest, leaving the three men in prison.

"Your Excellency Garion, we are from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we are here to pick you up."

Garion staggered to his feet, and one of them was about to step forward to help him, but was pushed away by Garion's hand.

"Wait, you are not from the French Foreign Office, nor are you from the Revolutionary Party."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two people present suddenly changed. Seeing their appearance, Garion also confirmed the guess in his heart even more.

"The rubbish of the revolutionary party is not yet capable of forging letters from diplomatic ambassadors."

Gary was alert, took a half step back, and asked, "Who the hell are you?" The French Foreign Office will not allow a guy with a German accent to take up a position in the French Foreign Office, unless the French ambassador to London is a spy for you Prussians. ”

The two paused, a smile of incomprehensible meaning drawn into their mouths.

"We don't have what it takes to turn against a French ambassador."

Another explained, "Your Excellency Garion is indeed the author of the Sherlock Holmes series, as rumored to be, and we have finally learned this. We are indeed the people of the Prussian embassy in Britain, and now the whole revolutionary party in London is watching you, do you think you can leave London alive without the asylum of the Foreign Office? ”

Garion bet that they wouldn't do anything at the police station, and said with a sneer, "If you leave with the French, my death may still be reported, and if you Prussians go, I'm afraid no one will know where I died." ”

"Alright, we're not here to assassinate you this time."

The Prussians finally got impatient, and they went straight to the point, and said bluntly, "Come with us, Your Excellency Bismarck wants to meet you." You know the style of the iron-blooded prime minister, who he wants to get, no matter what means he uses, he will get it. ”

Garion crossed his hands behind his back and said with a sneer, "It's a pity that Your Excellency Bismarck can get my people, but you will never get the loyal heart of a Frenchman." ”
