The messy news reports, while mobilizing popular patriotism, also affected the British government.

The police department was the first to be affected. Looking at the people outside who wanted the government to announce the truth, police minister James Molde was in a daze.

After the reaction, James Molde immediately ordered: "Quickly send someone to explain that the assassination of Walters occurred in the area of ​​Afghanistan, which is not within the scope of the police department.

Want to know the truth about the assassination, let them go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask. "

Even if the police department is even more powerful, it is only responsible for the local security issues. The assassinations abroad have nothing to do with them, and James Mold does not want to bear this disaster.

...

The Ministry of Police is unwilling to visit the muddy waters, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also unwilling. Unlucky Sir George was blocked as soon as he went out.

One remembered the question and asked, "Dear Sir George, we need to know the truth of the matter and not let the hero's blood flow in vain."

Without problems, Walters was portrayed as a hero by the media overnight. Under the threat and enticement of the enemy, he still insisted on safeguarding the interests of Britain.

The assassination case does not seem to have anything to do with intimidation, but this is not a problem. The editors of the entertainment news section completed the supplement as early as possible.

If it is not too short, it is estimated that these guys can still make up a heroine and add a romantic love story.

The question was asked by a reporter from the London Daily. As a political news media, it is relatively fair, but it does not add a plot of brain damage.

In the face of a group of journalists, in order to protect his good image, Foreign Secretary George had to stand up stubbornly.

"This gentleman, the truth of the incident is still under investigation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not received relevant information. In fact, we have not established diplomatic relations in Afghanistan, and there is no diplomatic embassy there.

This time Waltz ’s visit to Afghanistan was commissioned by the Governor of India. For details, you can go to the Colonial Department to find out.

We will pay close attention to the progress of the case, and when the result is reached, we will issue an announcement. "

Although George said all the facts, Britain and Afghanistan did not establish diplomatic relations, and Walters is not an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can do nothing but pay attention, but this answer does not satisfy the reporters, it is too official. .

A reporter questioned: "Jazz, don't you think this is a reprieve?

The Ministry of Police said that it could not be controlled. That was because the assassination occurred outside the country. The Ministry of Police had no right to intervene and let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs come.

We believe this explanation. After all, the scope of power of the police department is only local, which is clearly stipulated by law.

Now you say that on the pretext of not establishing diplomatic relations and the appointment of the Governor-General of India, let us go to the Colonial Department to understand the truth, which seems to make sense.

So do you know? We already asked when we passed the colonial ministry just now. Some officials said that foreign affairs are under the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

So who is responsible for the assassination? If the people want to know the truth, who should give the answer? "

The Waters assassination case involves too much. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Colonization, and the Ministry of Police can all intervene, and there are reasons for evasion.

Now blocked by reporters, in addition to insulting colleagues for their innocence, Sir George can only admit that he is out of luck.

After a little thought, Sir George replied solemnly: "This gentleman, you have very valuable questions.

But we must also consider the particularity of the Waters assassination case. Britain is a country ruled by law, and the functions and powers of various departments are clearly defined.

Prior to this, we had no experience dealing with similar incidents. Now that I have encountered a problem, I will inevitably panic.

The case happened in Central Asia, thousands of miles away. We do n’t know the exact situation. In fact, as of now, the government has only received a telegram from India.

Please give us a little time to send someone to intervene in the investigation. If you are worried that some people will shirk their responsibilities, I will propose that all troops jointly form an investigation team. "

...

After exhausting his lips, Sir George got rid of the reporter. As for the joint investigation team, that is a joke.

Waiting for the formation of the investigation team and the departure from the United Kingdom to Central Asia, the fastest thing is two months later.

After such a long time, what else can I check? Behind the scenes, the hands have dealt with the head and tail, and turned into a headless case.

...

In the principle that suffering alone is not as painful as others, Sir George did not choose to bear the pressure alone, but decided to share with everyone decisively.

"The Waters assassination is apparently done by religious extremist organizations. We secretly know if there are any black hands in the dark.

There are too many suspected objects. In theory, the Russians are the most suspected. Assassination of Walters can cut off the possibility of Afghanistan falling to us.

However, such extreme measures are likely to lead to the outbreak of war. Now that the Russians cannot catch up with the Afghan region, it is not good for them to provoke war.

The second is Austria. Not long ago, the Austrian ambassador to Persia visited Afghanistan, and the main purpose was to match the alliance between Russia and Afghanistan.

The assassination broke out just after the Austrian Minister had left, but it was a bit too coincidental. The problem is that planning this assassination is not good for Austria.

Once the war broke out, Austria simply could not prevent us from occupying the Afghan region. The only value is probably to be able to interrupt the arms race.

From only this aspect of analysis, the French are more suspicious than Austria. After all, the French government has the weakest financial resources and is under the greatest pressure.

Of course, other countries also have considerable suspicions. In order to provoke confrontation between big powers, many countries have motives for underhands.

It is not ruled out that there is no black hand behind the scenes, which is the handwriting of the indigenous religious extremist organization in Afghanistan. After all, Walters has been assassinated in front of him.

We have too little information to lock in the identity of the enemy. The people want the truth, but the investigation simply cannot go on.

Anti-British sentiment is serious in Afghanistan. If someone is sent to investigate in the past, I am afraid that even the safety of the members of the investigation team cannot be guaranteed.

How can the Afghan government investigate and finally give us an answer? "

Sir George revealed all the possibilities, definitely not to track down the real culprit, but more to let everyone choose the "real culprit".

The interests pursued by Britain are paramount. Whoever is the murderer is most beneficial to Britain, then who is behind the scenes.

Colonial Prime Minister Primrose sneered: "Sir, we have no choice at all?"

The multiple choice question is correct, it is just the multiple choice question whose answer has been published.

It is not just picking an enemy, you can get the approval of the people. A bunch of reporters chased after the government to get the truth. If there were no opposition parties behind it, no one would believe it.

The real weight is convincing, in fact, Russia and France, and there is a weak Afghanistan.

The Royal Navy can not go to the case, if the black pot is buckled on the head of a big country, then it can only be rash, it is impossible to give the domestic people the explanation they want.

For the Gladstone Cabinet, it was all about asking for trouble.

The Secretary of the Navy Sir Astley Cooper Kee warned: "This is the enemy's conspiracy. They want to provoke the war in Central Asia and destroy our plan to bring down Fau."

The opposition of the Secretary of the Navy is inevitable. Once the war broke out, the money invested by the government in the arms race was reduced.

The final result is likely to be a compromise with France and Austria to end this arms race.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Xiaozhi Childers: "It is not terrible to destroy our plan. The trouble is that we want to stop. The two countries may not appreciate it.

If the second Afghan war broke out, France and Austria will not be lonely. They will encourage the Russians to confront us in Central Asia and continue the arms race.

Our pressure is great! "

Not only is it stressful, but it is obviously exhausted. Both sides are important. If there is a problem with either end, Britain ’s supremacy will be shaken.

Foreign Minister George: "There is no if, but it will inevitably happen. It is uncertain whether the French will support the expansion of the Russian minister in Central Asia, but Austria will definitely support it.

If possible, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hopes to suspend this arms race before the second Afghanistan war. "

Admiral Astley Cooper Kee hurriedly opposed: "This is impossible! We can stop, but the two countries will not stop.

If you do not want to see the name change of the world ’s first naval power after the war, do n’t make such a joke. "

International competition has always been "taking advantage of your illness and killing you", but there is no such thing as being merciless.

Do not say that the Austrian Navy surpassed Britain, even if it was just flat, it was enough to shake their maritime dominance.

In the final analysis, there are currently three countries capable of fighting for hegemony at sea, and any two fishermen who will be on the sidelines will be on the sidelines.

Once the Royal Navy has lost its absolute superiority, it will only have a deterrent effect, and it will be impossible to provoke a war that is losing both sides.

In fact, since ten years ago, the Royal Navy ’s deterrent force has been declining. Faced with the overwhelming French and Austrian navies, the British government has no good way.

Seeing the escalation of the quarrel, Prime Minister Gladstone waved his hand to stop: "Stop, it is not the time for quarrels. The situation seems to be detrimental to us, and it is actually not that bad.

The Afghan region was originally what we wanted to win. This assassination just advances hands-on time and does not affect our established strategy.

As for the issue of the naval arms race, unless Faokun ceases fire together, we will definitely continue to follow up.

Everyone is worried that there is nothing more than a financial problem, but it is not impossible to solve it.

Waging war is to return justice for Britain, and when to do it and to what extent to fight it is up to us.

We can even declare war on the Afghans first, and give an explanation to the people in the country. We will not need to send troops for the time being. We will prepare for the war before launching the offensive. "
