Struggle in Russia

Palmerston was furious, and felt more and more that John Russell was too disgusting, and he didn't give him such a small face, what the hell!

Yes, the relationship between Palmerston and John Russell is really bad, or they have disliked each other for a long time. Watermark Advertisement Test Watermark Advertisement Test John Russell is the kind of noble son who was born with a golden key in his mouth. As the third child of the sixth generation Duke of Bedford, although he cannot inherit the title of the family, he is still a top nobleman.

Although there are rumors that John Russell is very short, but at that time, 1.75 meters really couldn't be considered short, right? You must know that the average height of Chinese men in 2020 is about 1.70 meters. It's just that he's so skinny that it's true. He's in his early 110s and weighs only 50 kilograms, which can be said to be skinny.

Naturally, such a skinny figure can't be a handsome man, and this guy is arrogant and conceited by nature. He feels that everyone in the world is inferior to him, and he especially likes to put on airs or put on airs. In short, to describe him in the words of his contemporaries:

"Lord Russell could remove stones from patients, build St. Paul's, or command the Channel Fleet, and no one could tell from his manner that his patients died, his churches fell, and his fleet was destroyed. It was a mess."

And Palmerston has another personality, this one doesn't have much aristocratic elegance, because he is an Irishman, and his old father is a landowner, but when he passed away, he left Palmerston with the title of Irish nobleman. The other is the property of 70,000 pounds and the debt of 90,000 pounds.

So, unlike John Russell, the aristocratic son, Palmerston is more down-to-earth, rude, and meticulous in doing things, even a little too strict and almost harsh, and his personality is even more powerful and messy, just like a bandit .

Let's put it this way, John Russell is a self-righteous fake son, and Palmerston is a real gangster!

Palmerston is not only full of gangsters, but also has eclectic methods of doing things. When he first entered the political arena to run for the District Councilor, the local lord hated him very much and proposed to him that he would only agree to become a Newport District Councilor if Palmerston promised never to enter the Newport District.

Others might be angry, but Palmerston agreed without hesitation. Later, Palmerston lost his membership as a member for some reason, and in order to regain his position, this guy actually paid 2,000 pounds to buy the elected member of parliament, let him resign automatically, and then re-elected again.

It can be seen from this that this guy is by no means a good person, and will use all legal and illegal means to achieve his goals when necessary, and such a person is the most difficult to deal with.

It's just that at this time, Palmerston's position in the Whig Party was a bit awkward.

Although he is very capable, he has a bad background, because he is not a serious Whig member, but a defector from the Tory party. As the founding elder of the Whig Party, John Russell naturally looked down on half-hearted and double-dealing people, so he was always lukewarm towards Palmerston. If it wasn't really wrong, he didn't like to take his suggestions.

Anyway, the relationship between these two is very tense, especially Palmerston's anti-Russian stance, which made John Russell very upset. He warned the foreign secretary more than once to keep his mouth shut and not to beep. But Palmerston always refused to listen, and often just wanted to confront him.

So to be honest, John Russell is really tired of Palmerston. He is actually happy to see all kinds of unfavorable gossip about Cochon suddenly appearing in the London newspapers, and he just waits to see Palmerston. It's embarrassing, it's better to drive this guy back to his hometown in Ireland.

Naturally, he will definitely not exert pressure on the newspaper industry, but will secretly contribute to the flames. It is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

It can only be said that the Whig Party has been too comfortable in the past ten years, and almost no one can challenge it politically.

It's just that Palmerston is not easy to bully. He naturally knows the main reason why John Russell refuses to help. It is nothing more than taking the opportunity to beat him and force him to quit get out of class. But he, Palmerston, is easy to bully, unreasonable, he can mess up three points, and he is full of tricks of slandering and beating Sap, he will not be afraid to play this trick with him!

"Thomas, Lord Russell refuses to interfere! We have to rely on ourselves!" Palmerston said to his friends Thomas Atwood and Robert Cattrall Ferguson with a sullen face.

These two are not ordinary people. They are well-known Russian haters in British political circles. They have always regarded Russia as their imaginary enemy, and often advocate the dismemberment and liberation of Russia.

"I told you a long time ago, you just don't believe it, and you insist on going to him to humiliate yourself, it's just unnecessary!"

Palmerston still replied with a sullen face: "The procedures that should be followed must be followed, otherwise the party will think that we are too presumptuous and will only provoke criticism!"

Ferguson said: "What does it mean to provoke criticism? We did not provoke the matter. Someone deliberately poured dirty water on it, slandered our friend, and slandered a gentleman who has dedicated himself to serving the country. Don't we even have the right to defend ourselves!"

The relationship between Ferguson and Kejon is very good, and he almost empathizes with Kejon's attack, so his reaction is also the most intense.

I saw him yelling indignantly: "I think the dirty water this time was poured by John Russell and his gang!"

Atwood also echoed: "Russell and his gang are indeed the most suspected. It is too obvious to attack Ke Hong and then point the sword at Henry. It is too obvious to ruin us!"

It's just that Palmerston is not so sure that Russell is behind the scenes, because he knows Russell's character, this guy is very pretentious, he doesn't look down on him at all, and he doesn't take him seriously at all!

Let's put it this way, in John Russell's heart, Palmerston was never regarded as an opponent he could compete with, so how could he design a special conspiracy against him?

"I don't feel right," Palmerston said gloomily. "It's not that simple! If Russell wants to deal with me, his temper will only blow out head-on, and he will scold me in the cabinet, not Choose such a clever method!"

Palmerston added: "He's too proud and smug to put himself down and do something like this. It's more of a pro-Russian ploy. It's normal to argue with us and make dirty tricks out of embarrassment!"
