Make France Great Again

When Lord Clarendon arrived in front of Aberdeen again, he was greeted by a pair of hostile eyes and angry faces.

"Good morning, Prime Minister!" Faced with the hatred of Prime Minister Aberdeen, Lord Clarendon immediately chose to smile and greeted Aberdeen.

After all, who wants to be more serious with someone whose political life span is less than a few months?

"Lord Clarendon, tell me! What is your purpose for doing this?" Aberdeen lowered his voice and roared at the foreign secretary he had promoted: "Palmerston, Russell, what exactly did they promise you? What?"

"I don't understand what Prime Minister you are talking about?" Lord Clarendon looked at Aberdeen blankly, pretending to be innocent.

"No need to perform anymore!" Aberdeen lowered his voice again to Lord Clarendon: "Only you, me and Canning know about this! Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else! "

"Maybe the secret was leaked midway!" Lord Clarendon still refused to admit that he leaked the secret: "It's also possible that the telegraph staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs betrayed the intelligence of the government department, maybe!"

"I don't care who leaked the order, this matter has nothing to do with your Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" Aberdeen pointed at Lord Clarendon and said.

Although Aberdeen is certain that Lord Clarendon leaked the secret, he currently has no substantive evidence. Even if he had substantive evidence, he would not be able to take any action.

Because Aberdeen knew that once the information about the Sinop naval battle was leaked, the pro-Russian and anti-French brand he had painstakingly created would be immediately smashed to pieces.

Just imagine, how can a country that can annihilate the navy "personally" created by Britain not arouse fear in Britain?

Britain originally had a certain fear of Russian infantry, and now the Russian navy has annihilated the entire navy of another country at a very small cost.

This is simply irritating the nerves of the British people. It would be really strange if the British people didn't express anything.

This was the reason why Aberdeen suppressed the naval battle of Sinop.

Who would have thought that Lord Clarendon would "betray" him at this time.

At this time, it was impossible for British voters not to focus their attention on the Near East.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I admit that it was my laxness in the administration that led to the current situation!" Lord Clarendon immediately admitted his mistake to Aberdeen, and categorically assured Aberdeen: "I can guarantee that it will happen. Find the main person responsible for this incident and bring him to justice!”

Aberdeen looked at Lord Clarendon in front of him suspiciously. Judging from his expression, it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with him, but Aberdeen's potential sixth sense reminded him that this matter must have something to do with him. related.

However, now is not the time to worry about these. The most important issue is those newspapers.

Thinking of this, Aberdeen, who was sitting on the Prime Minister's chair, bent down and took the crumpled newspaper in the trash can into his hands, then spread it out in front of Lord Clarendon and said: "Tell me! What should we do now? "

Lord Clarendon glanced at the title and immediately understood the specific content, and couldn't help but feel gloating in his heart.

"Why don't you order The Times to apologize in the next edition of the newspaper? Just say there was an error in their report. In that case, you can probably get away with it!" Lord Clarendon leaned forward and put on a serious analysis look. gesture, and then Aberdeen made a dubious suggestion.

"Are you kidding? If this is the case, the Times will probably report even more violently!" Prime Minister Aberdeen shook his head and immediately rejected Lord Clarendon's suggestion: "It's not like you don't know that newspapers always shout , interfere indiscriminately. They are good at bullying others and turn the government into a bully."

"Then we have to let the situation continue to develop!" Lord Clarendon shrugged and responded to Aberdeen with a helpless expression: "Perhaps, in a few days, the newspaper will simply not report this matter. It’s over!”

"That's all we can do!" Prime Minister Aberdeen sighed and responded to Lord Clarendon.

Aberdeen, which had no response to public opinion and did not dare to use any drastic measures, could not control the newspaper.

This situation can only occur in Britain. If it were France, or even any monarchy in Europe, Chanze, who was outside the system, would not be able to publish content that was not conducive to the government. Even if it were published, it would be physically banned by the official within a very short period of time.

"By the way, Your Excellency Prime Minister! When are you going to start the cabinet meeting on whether to help the Ottoman Empire?" Lord Clarendon once again stirred up Aberdeen's nerves.

No one knows better than him that it is impossible for Aberdeen to calm public opinion.

The Battle of Sinop will definitely be pushed to a certain height by Palmerston and other war-minded people, and then they will use this public opinion to become the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

"Don't discuss it in the cabinet meeting yet!" Aberdeen looked at Lord Clarendon depressedly.

He would have done anything to remove Lord Clarendon, had the cabinet not been in a state of turmoil.

Grain/span "If there is nothing else, I will leave first!" Lord Clarendon said goodbye to Aberdeen.

"Right!" Aberdeen suddenly thought of something, and he asked Lord Clarendon again: "How is the situation with Ambassador Canning?"

Lord Clarendon shook his head and said that he had not yet received Canning's next request.

"That's good! That's good!" Prime Minister Aberdeen breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, as long as Canning did not intensify the conflict, everything would still have room for change.

But Aberdeen forgot that Canning, as the British ambassador to Constantinople, had the right to dispatch the Mediterranean fleet without the consent of the cabinet.

Aberdeen's unwillingness to expand is simply wishful thinking.

Lord Clarendon then left his office in Aberdeen.

After sitting in the empty Prime Minister's office, Aberdeen no longer had any intention to continue working. He stood up and stood in front of the window, staring at the sky outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh again.

In the next few days, the situation in the British newspaper office did not gradually calm down in the direction Aberdeen expected. Instead, it took great strides towards intensifying.

After the Times, Morning Herald and Morning Advertiser fired the first shot, the remaining tabloids also began to attack the cabinet with the funding of some "caring people".

These newspapers called the cabinet led by Aberdeen the "Anti-British Cabinet" and described Aberdeen itself as a puppet controlled by the Tsar.

Some newspapers claimed that the Tsar used his money to corrupt most members of Aberdeen's cabinet, leaving Aberdeen at the mercy of the Tsar. Some newspapers seriously said that the Battle of Sinop was the annihilation of the entire army as a result of Aberdeen betraying information about the Ottoman Empire to the Russian Empire.

In short, in this intensifying public storm, not only Aberdeen itself, but also Albert and Queen Victoria in Buckingham Palace were labeled "Russians" by some unscrupulous tabloids. The reason is even more bizarre, because most of the nobles of the Russian Empire are of German descent, and Albert and Queen Victoria are also of German descent, so Prince Albert and Queen Victoria are spies sent by ruthless Russians.

In order to satisfy the British desire for office conspiracy theories and palace conspiracy theories, the "Morning Advertiser" also deliberately created a rumor that Palmerston was dismissed because his anti-Russian ideas won the favor of Queen Victoria. encounter, and thus involved in a palace conspiracy.

In order to attract attention, many vulgar newspapers reported that Prince Albert was imprisoned in the Tower of London for betraying Britain and would be executed on a certain day.

Once the news spread, it attracted countless good people to the Tower of London.

Some people who did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement even held slogans such as "Long live Osman, die to Albert."

Of course, such a slogan only existed for less than 10 minutes before the London police who were loyal to the Queen took him away directly on the charge of "obstructing the peace".

Faced with the increasingly public opinion, Queen Victoria, who lived in Buckingham Palace, was particularly angry.

"Look at these stupid things Palmerston has done! Does he want to send us to the guillotine so that he can serve as Lord Protector?" Queen Victoria frowned and said to Albert beside her.

"I don't think this is a stupid thing!" Albert said to Victoria with a smile.

"Albert, do you know what the London newspapers are saying about us now! They say we are thieves and have stolen all of Britain! They also say we should be hanged!" Victoria continued to say to Albert angrily.

"Gallows? We are not tyrants!" Albert joked, and then added: "The one on the other side of us is the real tyrant!"

The "tyrant" in Albert's mouth was Jerome Bonaparte. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com

"This is no time for joking, we have to do something!!" Queen Victoria said to Albert.

"I don't think those newspapers in Britain can be intimidated by just reading a sentence or two!" Albert replied calmly.

"Then what should we do? Let them continue to organize the royal family?" Queen Victoria said angrily.

"Of course not!" Prince Albert shook his head, and then said with a smile: "Since they all think that Britain intends to condone the Russian Empire, why don't we take this opportunity to express our attitude to the British people!"

"You mean to declare war?!"

"That's right! It's time to declare war on the Russian Empire!"
