Struggle in Russia

Chapter 177 Influence

When the Wallachia Revolutionary Committee held a meeting, Li Xiao and others were also holding a small meeting. Because this sudden situation also caught them off guard. After all, it was the counselor of the British Consulate General who died. If it was poured on the big fire in Wallachia, what would happen?

"Has the assassin been caught?" Li Xiao asked with a serious face.

Vishniak smiled wryly and said: "Fuck you! What's the use of those Wallachia wastes? At first glance, they seem to have a lot of momentum, but they are all fake tricks. I think they are all Make a show!"

Vishniak is really right about this point, the Wallachians are really fake, just pretending. The reason is very simple, because they didn't even think about really catching the assassin, because it was more troublesome for the Wallachians to catch the assassin.

Why? And not because of the damn politics!

Anyone who is not a fool can see that Sir Thomas Edwards died strangely and unjustly. No matter who it is, I am afraid that there is no reason to attack the British. For the Russians and the pro-Russian faction, although their enemies have the shadow of the British behind the scenes, the shadow does not mean that they really want to trouble the British.

After all, the national strength of the British is there. Even Nicholas I, who is so arrogant, dare not say what he can do with the UK, let alone shout and kill the UK easily, otherwise his old man would not have been ashamed a few years ago Pi Dian personally went to London to win over the British.

Anyway, Russia is not psychologically prepared for a head-on conflict with Britain. And killing Sir Thomas Edwards at this time is a provocation and death. Nicholas I would never allow his courtiers to do such outrageous things. At best, Russia is just talking about warning the British that it is really impossible to come.

Since the murderer is unlikely to be Russia, is it France? After all, these two families were fighting openly and secretly in Wallachia, and no one was willing to admit defeat. The British had killed many French people before, and it was normal for the French to take revenge.

But look at the situation in France. The revolution plunged France into turmoil again. Can you distract the United Kingdom when you are too busy to take care of yourself? Tired of the French?

Naturally, it can't be France. If it weren't for these two, it would be even more impossible and unreasonable for the Turks to provoke the British, saying that it is possible for the Turks to get rid of the Russian counselor. It is purely wrong to get rid of Sir Thomas Edwards. Frustrated.

If it wasn't these families, the murderer could only come from Wallachia itself. However, Wallachia's domestic political forces are full of factions, and it is not ruled out that some powerful forces have a brain twitch and want to make big things, and then they will be clicked by Sir Thomas Edwards.

But for such a big matter, it is impossible for the Wallachians to admit that it is not. If they admit it, it will anger the British, and the British will withdraw their previous verbal support and turn to Russia. side went.

Therefore, this scapegoat is absolutely unacceptable. The Bucharest local police and the National Self-Defense Forces, which are naturally controlled by the major forces in Wallachia, can only waterproof and put on airs, but they do not really catch the murderer.

As long as the murderer is not brought to justice, whoever the Natural Revolution Committee says is the murderer is the murderer. And once the real culprit is caught and the confession is made by the big bosses in the Wallachia Revolutionary Committee, then how will it end.

And this is politics, what is the truth is not important at all, the important thing is not to hinder the overall situation, the overall situation is the most important thing!

And this is why Barb Qatar and other conservatives of the National Party have been deflated in the Revolutionary Committee for a long time. They want to take this opportunity to attack the radicals of the National Party, but this excuse is really inappropriate. Even if they only give Jan Constantine a label of poor security and incompetent affairs, it is also a fact for the British population, because the British will explain:

"Okay! The death of Sir Thomas Edwards was caused by your ineffective security work in Wallachia,

It's your fault! I must give an explanation! "

Wasn't it uncomfortable how the revolutionary committee explained at that time? Therefore, it is wise to dump the blame on the pro-Russian faction and pass the responsibility to the past. Even if the British ask questions, they can still answer: "This is all a Russian conspiracy, and it is all instigated by the Russians. Go to the Russians and ask for an explanation!"

Does Britain dare to ask Russia for an explanation? What's the matter without evidence, not to mention that Britain and Russia are actually afraid of each other, and everyone is afraid of each other and dare not cross the red line.

In the end, this matter can only be turned into a small matter, let it go, and wait for a few more scapegoats to vent their anger on Sir Thomas Edwards, who died unjustly.

Naturally, Li Xiao can taste these things, but he is different from the Wallachia Revolutionary Committee. He is a time traveler, and he understands the true mentality of Britain and Russia better. He knows that things may not be that simple.

Even if the Wallachian Revolutionary Committee agrees with the outside world, the British side will not fully accept their explanation, because the anti-Russian forces in the UK have gradually taken over the mainstream, fearing Russia, fearing Russia, and the British political elite who hate Russia More and more, these people will never accept the bullshit explanation of the Wallachians so honestly.

Because for these Russian haters, the death of Sir Thomas Edwards was a godsend opportunity to make trouble! Prime Minister John Russell's restraint before was due to his fear of Russian power, so he severely suppressed the Russian-hate faction headed by Foreign Secretary Palmerston, and left the Wallachia matter alone.

But now Palmerston will definitely take the opportunity to incite hatred against Russia and put political pressure on John Russell to force him to take stronger measures against Russia. The reason is naturally to seek justice for Sir Thomas Edwards.

Can John Russell withstand the pressure? The answer is probably no, because this person is vacillating from side to side, and he hasn't made any impressive performances during his term of office. Facing the pressure of the parliament, he has to put on a show even if he doesn't want to.

In this way, it was tantamount to indirectly loosening the curse on Robert Kojon, allowing the extremely anti-Russian Consul General who has been jumping up and down to do whatever he wants, which would be extremely detrimental to both Russia and Li Xiao.

This made Li Xiao couldn't help complaining: "Which idiot did this stupid thing? Is it just adding to the chaos!"

Alexei, who was called a fool by Li Xiao, didn't realize that he had done a big stupid thing at this time. Although Sir Thomas Edwards' death was very unexpected, he didn't think there was anything wrong. Anyway, his people They've all been evacuated safely, and he still thinks it's a bit of a deal to deal with an annoying Brit with only one person injured, and he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong. The only thing that makes him regret is that he didn't get rid of Bretianu brothers...
