The newspaper movement, with the intervention of Palmerston and Russell, quelled the attack on the royal family. However, although the newspaper stopped its aggressive language against the royal family, it intensified its opposition to the hegemony of the Russian Empire and the protection of the rights and interests of the Ottoman Empire.

The Britons under the diode thinking even reached the point where they would scold when they heard the name of "Tsar" and applaud when they heard the name "Sultan".

Even the Times, which once started the Ottoman Empire, was attacked by the rising star Morning Advertisement in fierce nationalist language because it mentioned in a certain report that Christians in the Balkans were more willing to accept protection, accusing the Times of being seriously "non-British" and claiming that the idea that Christians are willing to accept the protection of Russia only exists in the world of the Times...... Whose protection the Christians were willing to accept was known only to Christians living in the Ottoman Empire, and The Times was fabricating it out of thin air.

As a veteran troll, the Times naturally did not act as a shrinking turtle after being attacked by the "Morning Advertising Newspaper", and it began to launch a counterattack against the "Morning Advertising Newspaper".

Fortunately, there were a large number of exiles in the Kingdom of Britain who had been persecuted by the Ottoman Empire, including Christians, and the Times launched a counterattack against the nationalist newspapers, led by the Morning Advertisement, after using their oral accounts as a model and polishing them.

Upon seeing the Times's reasoning, the Morning Advertisement immediately encouraged its subscribers to fight back, and fanatical nationalists gathered at the gates of the Times' house, first angrily denouncing the Times, then calling the exiles "traitors" and teaching them how to love the Ottoman Empire.

Had it not been for the arrival of the police, fanatical nationalists would have almost stormed the lair of The Times and carried out a psycho-infused attack on the newspaper's reporters.

After that, the Times was much smarter, and for the next few days, it didn't cover anything about the Ottoman Empire.

In such an environment, Aberdeen's public opinion attacks have become even more violent.

Just when the Prime Minister of Aberdeen was anxious about the problems of the Ottoman Empire, a summons from Buckingham Palace forced the Prime Minister of Aberdeen to put down his work and go to Buckingham Palace.

When the Prime Minister of Aberdeen arrived at the gate of Buckingham Palace, the lobster soldiers guarding Buckingham Palace quickly opened the gate, and the carriage continued to stop at the main entrance of Buckingham Palace.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Her Majesty the Queen and her husband have been waiting for you for a long time! Please follow me! "The Prime Minister of Aberdeen was greeted by the Grand Steward of the Hannover Royal House, John Aberdeen. Brown, he half-bowed and reached out his hand to the Prime Minister of Aberdeen and replied respectfully.

"Hmm!" Prime Minister Aberdeen nodded and followed John. Brown came to the royal husband and the queen together.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness!" The Prime Minister of Aberdeen bowed to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a sign of respect.

"You may be seated!" Prince Albert stretched out his hand to Prime Minister Aberdeen.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The Prime Minister of Aberdeen sat down in the red-cushioned seat opposite Albert and Victoria with a steady stride.

Prince Albert first glanced at Prime Minister Aberdeen, and from Prime Minister Aberdeen's haggard expression and the melancholy hidden in his eyes, Albert immediately understood that the current Aberdeen had been stirred up by public opinion in the outside world and might not even be able to rest well.

"Your Majesty, what are you asking me for?" Before Albert could ask, Prime Minister Aberdeen brisked herself and asked Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria glanced at Albert beside her, and in Albert's encouraging gaze, Victoria asked in a soft tone, "Your Excellency, what do you think of some recent events?" ”

"What do you mean?" Although Aberdeen understood what Victoria was talking about, he made a point of asking out of an abundance of caution.

"It's the recent rumor of the seething Sinop incident! I heard that many people are asking our army to go and punish Russia! Queen Victoria asked Aberdeen with a clear attitude.

"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon!" Considering the recent events, Prime Minister Aberdeen could not help but say impulsively: "Palmerston is now using public opinion to drive Britain down the path of war!" If this continues, Britain is likely to face a terrible catastrophe! ”

"Oh?" Albert said lightly, "I don't think it's a disaster!" ”

Aberdeen looked at Prince Albert in astonishment, and couldn't help but feel a panic in his heart.

"Could it be that Palmerston guy has already done the work of the royal family?" Aberdeen thought.

How does Aberdeen now know that the declaration of war on the Russian Empire is something that Albert began to lay out early on.

It's just that it was because there was no anti-Russian fanaticism within Britain, and the Russian Empire had not completely touched the bottom line of the Kingdom of Britain.

Now that both conditions have been met, Prime Minister Albert is naturally willing to declare war on the Russian Empire.

Moreover, now that France is at war against Russia, the Kingdom of Britain has no fear of being isolated.

"Your Highness, declaring war on the Russian Empire is not beneficial to the Empire!" The Prime Minister of Aberdeen was so nervous that he slurred his words: "The first thing we need to guard against is the French Empire!" ”

"The French Empire? They are not as greedy as the Russian Empire to claim territories that do not belong to them! On the contrary, the Russian Empire is constantly claiming some lands that did not belong to their country in the first place! So, Russia's must be contained! Prince Albert said to Prime Minister Aberdeen in a tough tone.

Aberdeen looked at the powerful prince in front of him, he knew that the current prince was probably ready for everything, and I am afraid that even the new prime minister was ready now, but he didn't know if it was Palmerston or Russell, or which lucky guy it was.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Aberdeen hesitated for a moment, and then a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked in a slightly sad tone: "Your Highness, since you have already made this decision, why do you ask for my opinion!" ”

"No, no, no!" Prince Albert shook his head and flatly denied it: "The royal family does not influence the decision-making of the cabinet, and we support all the actions of the cabinet!" These are just some of our suggestions for the Cabinet! ”

Yes! Theoretically, the royal family cannot change the prime minister at will, nor can it arbitrarily formulate policies that suit their own wishes, but the royal family can promote its influence and elect people who think like it as the prime minister, so as to implement policies.

There are still many people in Britain who are willing to follow the "advice" of the royal family, which is the "unspoken rule" of Britain.

"Your Highness, if Prussia and Austria follow Russia in the same way, then Britain will be besieged by three countries, and there is no way to fight a war on land with our existing army!" Aberdeen wasn't one to settle for less, and he wanted Albert to raise his concerns.

"If it is possible for Prussia and Austria to act together with the Russian Empire and thus abandon our friends in the Near East, then the Kingdom of Britain is very sure to lose all my friends!" Prince Albert replied to Aberdeen: "I admit that the German nations are likely to be involved in this war, but it is not a situation created by Britain, but the intention of Nicholas I to involve the German nations in the war." I believe that the German countries should be able to keep a cool head and take a good look at the seizure! ”

Prince Albert swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued: "Besides, we still have the ally of the French Empire!" If Germany were to be involved in a war, France would be the first country to suffer. ”

From Albert's words, it is not difficult to hear the schadenfreude revealed in the words.

"Since His Highness and His Majesty have decided on the matter, then I have nothing more to say!" Prime Minister Aberdeen stood up from his seat, bowed to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and said, "Allow me to resign as Prime Minister!" ”

"Prime Minister Aberdeen, are you trying to get angry with us?" Albert's voice was a little colder, and his face couldn't help but be a little indifferent.

"No!" Aberdeen said to Albert with a calm face: "I just think that Your Highness, you need a tough prime minister!" (He pauses for a moment, a wry smile on the corner of his mouth), not a prime minister like me! ”

Looking at the haggard demeanor of the prime minister (tool man) in front of him, Albert's heart couldn't help but soften a little: "Prime Minister Aberdeen, you can rest for a few days first!" Wait until after the war is over......"

"Yes! Your Highness! Aberdeen said to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

In this way, the Prime Minister of Aberdeen immediately handed over his resignation letter to Queen Victoria after returning to the Prime Minister's office.

Queen Victoria also decisively approved the resignation of the Prime Minister of Aberdeen, and asked the Prime Minister of Aberdeen to go home to recuperate.

After the departure of Prime Minister Aberdeen, the coalition government fell apart completely.

Palmerston and Russell also went from collaborators to rivals, because Palmerston himself was more loved by the radical public than Russell, and because he had Albert's secret support behind him, Palmerston soon defeated Russell to become Prime Minister again, Clarendon continued to serve as Foreign Secretary, and poor Russell continued to serve as Speaker of the House of Commons.
