Chapter 655: Albert's Help
Morality. Ruiz's righteous speech made Palmerston's face sneer.
"Does the business you mean also includes the service of assassinating a king! If so, then your country's business scope is too vast! "Palmerston spoke in a weird tone of yin and yang. Ruiz said, then loudly and emphatically ordering the interpreter next to him to translate the passage into French.
Virtue standing face to face. Ruiys, of course, did not need a translator, and he also understood that Palmerston was merely venting his frustrations.
After the entire passage was translated into French by a dedicated translator, de Anderson. Ruiz said with a stern expression: "Prime Minister Palmerston, you said that we assassinated the king of Egypt!" Do you have any evidence to prove it? If it is indeed our assassination, then we in France are willing to hand over the Suez Canal to the Kingdom of Britain, and promise you to withdraw from all commercial operations in Egypt! ”
Morality. Ruiyce was confident enough to ensure that the assassination would not be detected by the Kingdom of Britain and then spread to the French Empire.
He also believed that the old fox Palmerston could really detect something unusual, because this old fellow was also a fellow who was good at intriguing and causing unrest in other countries.
Think of Thiers and Muhammad. Ali was fooled by Palmerston and directly became two public enemies of Europe.
There is a way that is a kind of stand-in that can attract each other...... Bah! People of the same type can already know what kind of urine guy the other person is when they see each other at the first glance.
How could Palmerston not know that Jérôme, who sat in the position of the French Empire. What crumbs Bonaparte and his bunch of guys were.
It's just that suspicion is to pay attention to evidence, and it's okay to suspect a small country without evidence, but it's a big deal to say that the other party has weapons of mass destruction hidden in their homes.
If we suspect a big country of engaging in conspiracy and trickery, we must pay attention to evidence, and if we do not pay attention to evidence, we will inevitably lead to hostility between the two countries, which will cause turmoil in the situation.
Morality. Ruiz was sure that the old fellow Palmerston had absolutely no direct evidence that the affair had anything to do with France.
On the one hand, he simply did not believe that the British Kingdom's intelligence network and forensic technology in Egypt could help them solve cases quickly.
Today, Britain's intelligence post in Egypt (or the embassy to be precise) has long been used by Marcel. Yaruger permeated into the sand as soon as Marcel. If Yaruger wanted to, he would even be able to know what color the British consul in Egypt was. If that could get them a grip, De. Ruiz considered reporting to the Emperor about the abolition of the Egyptian branch of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the National Intelligence Service.
(In fact, the intelligence bureaus of all countries in the world are at the level of a piece of, and the management of various departments is extremely chaotic!) The top-secret letters sent through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were not encrypted at all, and they were not adept at using the new tools of the telegraph. Bonaparte's France, which thought across time and space, was as if he was striking at them with dimensionality reduction. )
On the other hand, the bodyguard who assassinated the (previous governor) of Egypt (king) had been completely solved by the new Egyptian governor Sa'id on charges of murdering the governor, and the body was completely cremated.
All the clues to the assassination were erased by France, and now no one can find out about France's head except for the new Egyptian governor Said.
If Said really dared to jump back, France wouldn't mind getting rid of him before he jumped back.
The position of Governor of Egypt, he is not willing to do it, and some people are willing to do it.
The facts are as deed. Palmerston could not produce any substantial evidence to prove this, as Luys thought.
If he had any proof, he wouldn't have been virtuous at all. Luisto BB, directly asked for de . Ruiz added the Kingdom of Britain to the list of shareholders of the Suez Canal.
"As far as the current substantial evidence is concerned, the assassination was a hasty operation!" Palmerston vs. De. Ruiz replied.
Seeing that Palmerston could not find substantial evidence of the de. Luyce went on to say to Palmerston: "Therefore, the Kingdom of Britain cannot prove that the assassination was related to France! ”
"We can't confirm whether there was anyone behind the assassination!" Palmerston nodded.
"Then Prime Minister Palmerston!" Morality. Ruiz's words revealed an aggressive posture, "How can you assume that this matter must have something to do with France!" Is it just because Governor Said signed an agreement with us on the right of navigation of the Suez Canal? If all this is evidence, can I conclude that the construction of the railroad signed between your country and the Governor of Egypt is also considered to be a sign against Muhammad. Proof of the persecution of the Governor of Ali! ”
"It's different!" Palmerston pleaded.
"If the logic of the Kingdom of Britain is concerned, what is the difference between these two things?" Morality. Ruiz said indignantly: "If the Kingdom of England does not consider itself a great power, it can oppress France!" Then I have nothing to say! ”
Morality. Ruiys's words left Palmerston a little speechless.
Bullying France? Are you kidding! Looking at the whole world, which country dares to say that it oppresses France!
Britain is a big country, and it is true to attack everywhere, but what qualifications do you France have to say that Britain is attacking everywhere, you France is also attacking everywhere, and you France is also a big country!
"We respect the rights of the French Empire......" Palmerston also clichéd that France and Britain should exercise mutual restraint and jointly safeguard the security of Europe and the world, and that a handful of analyses that attempt to undermine world peace must not be allowed to undermine the good peace.
Since Palmerston does Tai Chi, then De. Ruiz simply followed along with Tai Chi.
The whole meeting began with a-for-tat confrontation and then ended with mutual Tai Chi.
After the meeting, Palmerston was summoned by Prince Albert to Buckingham Palace.
"How's this meeting going?" Sitting at Albert asked Palmerston Road with a smile.
Palmerston shook his head and replied, "I can be sure that the Egyptian incident was definitely the work of France, but we have no substantial evidence of it." And Duc. That guy Ruiz seems to have been trying to grab the Suez Canal to make a fuss! ”
"I have a piece of gossip from the German region here, I don't know if you would like to hear it, Prime Minister!" Prince Albert asked Palmerston in a nonchalant tone.
"Of course!" Palmerston nodded immediately, he understood that Prince Albert should know some inside information.
After all, when the royal family communicates with each other, they will say things to each other that they don't think they can say to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"The Kingdom of the Netherlands is engaged in a secret negotiation with the French Empire!" Prince Albert said as he unhurriedly poured a cup of herbal tea for Palmerston.
"Thank you very much!" After thanking Prince Albert, Palmerston asked, "What has the Kingdom of the Netherlands talked about with France?" ”
"I don't know!" Prince Albert shook his head, then added: "However, I heard that it is about the territory!" ”
Territory!
Palmerston's face immediately changed, and the first thing that came to his mind was the Kingdom of Belgium, after all, the Kingdom of Belgium was a country cut from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and they had always wanted to re-annex Belgium when they were still the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Moreover, France was also spying on the French-speaking territory of the Kingdom of Belgium, and if it were not for the Kingdom of Britain, the new Kingdom of Belgium would have been divided between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and France.
Could it be that the French Empire wanted to wage a war against the Kingdom of Belgium?
"Your Highness, we must not sit idly by!" Palmerston, who couldn't sit still, immediately said to Prince Albert.
"Your Excellency, what do you think we should do?" Prince Albert also misunderstood what Palmerston meant, "to wage war with France, or to condemn France?" ”
"This ......" Palmerston was stunned for a few seconds, and he also realized that the current Kingdom of Britain seemed to have nothing to do with France.
A war with France? No kidding, the British and French troops in the Crimea on the front line are working together against the Russian Empire, and what will happen to the Crimea if they open a film with France in the back.
When the time comes, the tsar is afraid that he will not laugh off his big teeth.
For the time being, Britain's allies in Europe had and only the French Empire. (Perhaps the Kingdom of Prussia is also counted as one)
Even if Britain wanted to reopen the anti-French alliance, it would not be able to muster enough manpower, and given the Russian Empire's humiliating performance in the Crimea, it is likely that the reopening of the anti-French alliance would be a loss of armor.
Condemn France? That's even more unreliable, which rogue state is afraid of condemnation!
"That doesn't allow them to occupy Belgium directly!" Palmerston blurted out.
Prince Albert, who greeted him, looked at him in astonishment: "Who told you that they were going to occupy Belgium?" ”
"Then ......" Palmerston, who reacted, immediately responded: "Could it be Luxembourg?" ”
"That's right!" Prince Albert smiled and nodded, "It's Luxembourg!" ”
"That's not going to work either!" Palmerston responded to Prince Albert.
"Your Excellency, what do you think we should do?" Once again, Prince Albert returned to the question he had just asked.
"We can put pressure on the Kingdom of the Netherlands to abandon this deal and at the same time incite the German Confederation to oppose it!" Palmerston immediately thought of it.
"If the Kingdom of the Netherlands is afraid of Britain, is it not afraid of France? And how do you know that the German Confederation will definitely oppose it! Maybe they'll agree! Prince Albert said with a smirk.
