Chapter 1041 Something Is Wrong

Palmerston was so angry that he felt more and more that John Russell was so disgusting. He didn't even give him any face. What the hell!

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

Although there are legends that John Russell was very short, at that time, 1.75 meters couldn't really be considered short, right? You must know that the average height of Chinese men in 2020 is 1.70 meters. It's just that he is really thin. He weighs just over 110 pounds and only 50 kilograms. He can be said to be skinny.

Naturally, such a thin and fat figure cannot 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 also likes to put on airs or put on airs. In short, to use the words of his contemporaries to describe him:

"Lord Russell can operate on patients to remove stones, build St. Paul's Cathedral, or command the Channel Fleet, but no one can tell from his demeanor that his patients have died, his churches have collapsed, and his fleets have been destroyed. Beaten to pieces."

And Palmerston had another personality. This one didn't have much aristocratic elegance, because he was an Irishman, and his father was a landowner. But when he died, he left Palmerston with an Irish noble title. Outside is a property of 70,000 pounds and a debt of 90,000 pounds.

Therefore, unlike the aloof and aristocratic John Russell, Palmerston is more down-to-earth and rude. He is also meticulous and even a bit too harsh in his work, almost harsh. His personality is even more powerful, almost like a bandit. .

Let's put it this way, John Russell is a self-righteous fake boy, while Palmerston is a real bandit!

Palmerston was not only full of gangsterism, but also had an eclectic approach to doing things. When he first entered politics and ran for district council, the local lords hated him and asked him to agree to become a Newport district councilor only if Palmerston promised never to enter the Newport area.

Anyone else would have been angry, but Palmerston agreed without hesitation. Later, Palmerston lost his membership qualification for some reason. In order to regain his position, this guy actually paid two thousand pounds to bribe the elected member to resign voluntarily, and then ran a new election to be re-elected.

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

It's just that at this time, Palmerston's position in the Whig Party was somewhat embarrassing. Although he was very capable, his background was not very good, because he was not a serious member of the Whig Party, but came from the Tory Party. He defected from the party. As the founding father of the Whig Party, John Russell naturally looked down on people who were half-hearted and double-dealing, so he was always lukewarm towards Palmerston. If he didn't really have no choice, he wouldn't like to adopt his suggestions.

Anyway, the relationship between the two was very tense, especially Palmerston's anti-Russian stance, which made John Russell very irritated. He warned the foreign secretary more than once to watch his mouth and stop beeping. However, Palmerston always refused to listen and always wanted to confront him. ....So to be honest, John Russell was really fed up with Palmerston. Regarding all the unfavorable gossip about Cohoon that suddenly popped up in the London press, he was actually happy to see what happened. He was just waiting to see what happened to Palmerston. Stone is in disgrace. It would be best if he could be sent back to his hometown in Ireland.

Naturally, he will definitely not put pressure on the press. Instead, he will secretly add fuel to the flames, just to watch the excitement and not take it too seriously.

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. As the saying goes, it is born from sorrow and dies from happiness. The main energy of the Whig Party, which has been in peace for a long time, is actually the explosion of internal strife.

However, Palmerston is not easy to bully. He naturally knows the main reason why John Russell refuses to help. He is just taking the opportunity to beat him and force him to dismiss get out of class. But he, Palmerston, is easy to bully. He can stir up trouble even if there is no reason. He is also full of tricks of framing, slandering and saping. He is not afraid of playing 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 stern face. ..

These two are not ordinary people. They are well-known Russophiles in British politics. They have always regarded Russia as the imaginary enemy and often advocated the dismemberment of Russia and the liberation of Russia.

"I told you a long time ago, but you don't believe it. You insist on going to him to humiliate yourself. It's simply unnecessary!"

Palmerston still replied with a stern face: "We still have to follow the procedures that should be followed, otherwise the party will think that we are too presumptuous, and we will only attract criticism!"

Ferguson said: "What does it mean to provoke criticism? We are not the cause of the matter. Someone is deliberately throwing dirty water, slandering our friends, and slandering a gentleman who has served the country conscientiously. Don't we even have the right to defend ourselves!"

Ferguson had a very good relationship with Cohon, and he almost felt the same way when Cohon was attacked, so his reaction was also the most intense.

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

Atwood also echoed: "Russell and his gang are indeed the most suspect. They attacked Cohon and then pointed their swords at you, Henry, to stink and destroy us. It's so obvious!"

However, Palmerston is not so sure that Russell is the mastermind 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 mind, he did not regard Palmerston as an opponent who could compete with him. How could he specially design a conspiracy against him?

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

Palmerston added: "He is too proud and pretentious to lower himself and engage in such small tricks. These tactics are more like those of the pro-Russian faction. They have reasons and motives, and they have been doing it in recent times." It’s normal for you to quarrel with us, and to use dirty tricks when you are angry!”.
