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

Prime Minister Gladstone roared: "What does the police department do, why is this happening?" ”

There is no way, just a few hours ago, the Russian minister in London, White Nicholas, 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 officially started a war, even if the war has already started, the British government can only expel the Russian minister at most, and must also ensure the personal safety of the family before leaving.

According to the rules of the game, all governments have an obligation to ensure the personal safety of foreign ministers, and now that the Russian minister has had an accident, the British government cannot escape the blame.

Police Secretary Rogers replied bitterly: "It was a complete accident, Minister White encountered a protester on his way to the Foreign Office.

The reporter who followed the crowd came forward to interview, and Minister White replied in a somewhat radical language, which caused discontent among the people, and the two sides clashed.

Although the police accompanying him stopped the crowd, they did not know who took the lead in throwing debris at Minister White, and a stone happened to hit Minister White in the head, and he died on the spot after rescue failed. ”

Explanation is a cover-up, the incident has happened, and it is a fact that the police have not done a good job in security, and no matter how much they explain, it cannot be cleared.

It seems to be an accidental conflict, but is it really such a coincidence?

Prime Minister Gladstone was deeply skeptical and sneered: "It's all an accidental coincidence, and the police department is not responsible at all."

So you tell me, the accident happened on the busiest street in London, how did the flying stones come about? ”

Unexpected encounters and verbal clashes are understandable, after all, the two sides stand on different positions.

But the flying stones are very problematic. If there were stones on the ground on London's busiest street, the sanitation workers would have cleaned it up long ago.

Participate in the demonstration, bring a little bread, everyone can understand, who is full of food and carries a stone?

Even if a few people have quirks, it is impossible for a group of people to have quirks, there is only one stone that hits the vital point, and there are many stones that attack Minister White.

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

We have confirmed that the procession was directed at the Russian Embassy. Recently, this is the third time that people have smashed the glass of the Russian embassy.

Based on all the information, we are sure that this was an accident, mainly because the Russians deceived people too much.

According to the on-site personnel, when the reporter asked the Russian army about the sneak attack on our Afghan garrison, Minister White publicly shouted: Even if we do it, what can we do?

This sentence sparked the anger of the people, and it was only then that what happened next.

It happened so suddenly, and the police, who were in charge of keeping Minister White safe, had no time to disperse the crowd. ”

Avoiding the important and light, artistic processing, is equal to the final answer.

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

The longer things drag on, the more trouble will lie ahead. Regardless of the government's decision, in the minds of many people, the man who killed Minister White was a hero of Britain.

Prime Minister Gladstone wanted to stop talking, the people didn't know what was going on, how could they, the plotters, not know.

The Russian army's sneak attack on Britain's garrison in Afghanistan was originally fake, and the Russians who carried the black pot naturally could not admit it.

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

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Foreign Secretary George spoke: "Things have come to this point, and it doesn't matter how Minister White died.

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

No country will accept such a doubtful explanation until a minister is compensated for the death of a minister.

There is no doubt that Anglo-Russian relations have broken down, and it is now impossible for the British government to compensate the enemy with benefits.

"Alas!"

Prime Minister Gladstone sighed.

At first, the blame was thrown on the Russians, just to calm the adverse effects of the defeat at the front and avoid the outbreak of a political crisis.

Because of the geographical location, it is impossible for Britain to attack the Russians, and no matter how fierce the people are.

Although the old men in Congress often have convulsions, they are very sober in one thing, that is, they have no confidence in the British Army.

They did not take the initiative to provoke wars, and the tsarist government was not prepared for a long war, and for the sake of verbal conflicts, the possibility of war breaking out was almost zero, and there was no need to worry about the situation getting out of control at all.

According to the original plan, it was nothing more than the continued deterioration of Anglo-Russian relations and the slow diplomatic ruffle.

However, the plan did not change quickly, and the Russian minister was beaten to death in public, and the British and Russian governments were forced into a corner.

The British government could not give a satisfactory answer to the Russians, 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 were influenced by public opinion and did not work hard.

The British government has a hard time, 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 swelled dramatically.

Now this has happened again, and if a satisfactory answer is not obtained, no one but God can prevent the outbreak of war.

After hesitating for a moment, Prime Minister Gladstone said slowly: "Order the Viceroy of India to prepare for war with all his might, and the country should also be prepared."

The Indian colonies alone are no match for the Russians, and once war breaks out, we will send troops to reinforce the Afghan region in the shortest possible time.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues its diplomatic efforts to keep this war unfought, if possible. ”

The Afghan region has already started, and the most important thing for the British government now is to clear the area as soon as possible and re-establish social order. At this time, to run to war with the Russians was a completely loss-making business.

Having won the war, they were also unable to enter the Central Asian region; Having lost the war, not only will the newly acquired Afghanistan be thrown out, but even the Indian colonies will be threatened by the Russians at all times.

……

Despite the British government's efforts to block the news, the murder of the Russian minister spread as if it had grown wings.

By the time the news reached the Vienna Palace, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Franz's first reaction when he received the news was - no way.

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

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

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

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

The mastermind behind the scenes can be the enemies of the British, the enemies of the Russians, and even the main fighting factions of the British and Russians.

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

The more black hands the better, and for Franz, this kind of hidden behind the scenes 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 like he had asked a stupid question. When it comes to suspicions, Austria is definitely one of the best.

In order to provoke the Anglo-Russian war, the Vienna government did a lot. Some of these things can't even be kept secret.

Foreign Secretary Wesenberg replied: "We and the French are the most suspicious. After excluding us, most likely it will be the French.

However, this inference is not very reasonable. There are many ways to provoke a war between Britain and Russia, and under normal circumstances, the French government would not attack a minister. ”

Deep down, Franz was still a little embarrassed. Think about the ...... back then, forget it or don't think about it, the black history that can't be seen will make it disappear in the long river of history.

However, there is no problem with Wesenberg's reasoning, and under normal circumstances, politicians would not choose extreme measures.

After all, this is a high-risk job, and if the news is exposed, something big will happen. If you offend Britain and Russia at the same time, you will be finished.

Even if you have to do it, everyone will choose to borrow a knife to kill people, and if you want to investigate, you can only find out the person who is behind the pot.

Franz shook his head: "Forget it, leave this problem to the British and Russian governments to have a headache!"

Whoever is behind it, in the short term, it is still good for us.

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

Then we don't have to mix, leave the stage to Britain and Russia, and we just watch their performances. ”

The more critical it is, the less you can afford to take the lead. If Britain and Russia are behind the scenes, wouldn't it be wronged?

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