Chapter 655： Albert's help

De Luiz's righteous speech caused a sneer on Palmerston's face.

"Does your country's business behavior also include the service of assassinating a king! If so, then your country's business scope is too broad!" Palmerston used a yin and yang tone to De Luiz He spoke, and then loudly ordered the translator beside him to translate the sentence into French.

Of course, De Ruiz, who was standing face to face, didn't need a so-called translator. He also understood that Palmerston was just venting his dissatisfaction.

After the dutiful translator translated the entire paragraph into French, De Ruiz said with a grim expression: "Prime Minister Palmerston, you said we assassinated the king of Egypt! Do you have any evidence to prove it? If If it is really our assassination, then we in France are willing to hand over the right of passage to the British Kingdom of the Suez Canal, and promise you that we will withdraw from all business operations in Egypt!"

De Ruiz had enough confidence to ensure that this assassination operation would not be detected by the British Kingdom and then spread to the French Imperial Government.

He also believed that Palmerston, the old fox, could really detect something strange, because this old guy was also a guy who was good at conspiracy and tricks to force other countries to riot.

Thinking that Thiers and Mohamed Ali were fooled by Palmerston and turned into two European enemies.

There is a saying that similar stand-ins can attract each other... Bah! People of the same type can already know what kind of **** guy the other is when they see each other for the first time.

How could Palmerston not know what kind of scumbags Jerome Bonaparte and his group of guys sitting in the French Empire were.

It's just that suspicion is about paying attention to evidence. Without evidence, it's okay to randomly suspect a small country. The big deal is that the other party has weapons of mass destruction hidden at home.

Suspecting that a big country is engaged in conspiracy and tricks must pay attention to the evidence. If you do not pay attention to the evidence, if you doubt it randomly, it will inevitably lead to the two countries becoming hostile, thus causing the situation to be turbulent.

De Ruiz can be sure that the old Palmerston has absolutely no direct evidence to prove that this matter has anything to do with France.

On the one hand, he did not believe that the intelligence network and forensic technology of the British Kingdom in Egypt could help them solve the case quickly.

Today, the British intelligence station in Egypt (the embassy to be precise) has long been infiltrated into sand by Marcel Yarug. As long as Marcel Yarug wants to, he can even know what the underwear of the British consul in Egypt is. what colour. If all of this would allow them to seize the case, De Luiz would consider reporting to the Emperor the abolition of the Egyptian branch of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the National Intelligence Service.

(Actually, the intelligence bureaus of various countries in the world are at the level of shit, and the management of each department is abnormally chaotic! The top-secret letterhead passed out through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not encrypted at all, and at the same time, it is not good at using the new type of telegram. Compared with these crappy intelligence officers, France, which has the foundation laid down by Fouche and Jerome Bonaparte's intelligence thinking across time and space, is like a dimensionality reduction attack on them.)

On the other hand, the **** who assassinated the (previous) Egyptian Governor (King) has been completely settled by the new Egyptian Governor Said on the charge of murdering the Governor, and the body has been completely cremated.

All the clues of the assassination incident have been erased by France. Now, except for the new Egyptian governor Said who jumped directly, no one can find France's head.

If Said really dared to jump backwards, France would not mind getting rid of him before he jumped backwards.

In the position of Governor of Egypt, what he is unwilling to do, some people are willing to do.

Facts As de Ruiz thought, Palmerston could not produce any substantive evidence to prove this.

If he had any evidence, he would not be at all like De Luis BB, who directly asked De Luis to add the Kingdom of Britain to the list of shareholders of the Suez Canal.

"As far as the current substantive evidence is concerned, the assassination was a hasty action!" Palmerston replied to De Luiz.

Seeing that Palmerston could not find any substantive evidence, De Luiz continued to say to Palmerston eloquently: "So, the Kingdom of Britain cannot prove that the assassination was related to France!"

"We can't confirm whether there is any support behind the assassination!" Palmerston nodded.

"Then Prime Minister Palmerston!" De Ruiz's words revealed an aggressive attitude, "How do you think this matter must be related to France! Is it just because Governor Said signed the Suez Canal with us. If all this can be done as evidence, then can I assume that the construction of the railway that your country signed with the Governor of Egypt also counts as proof of the persecution of Governor Muhammad Ali!”

"It's different!" Palmerston defended.

"According to the logic of the Kingdom of Great Britain, what is the difference between these two things?" De Luis said sadly and indignantly: "If the Kingdom of Great Britain thinks it is a big country, it can oppress France! Then I have nothing to say. Say it!"

De Ruiz's words made Palmerston feel a little speechless.

To oppress France? What a joke! Looking at the whole world, which country dares to say that it is bullying France!

Britain is a big country, and it's true that you are attacking everywhere, but what qualifications do you have in France to say that Britain is attacking everywhere, you are also attacking everywhere, and you are also a big country!

"We respect the rights of the French Empire..." Palmerston's cliché preached that France and Britain should restrain each other and jointly maintain the security of Europe and the world, and must not allow a small group of analysts trying to destroy world peace to destroy the good Peace.

Since Palmerston was doing Tai Chi, De Luiz simply followed him.

The whole meeting started with tit-for-tat and ended with mutual Tai Chi.

After the meeting, Palmerston was called to Buckingham Palace by Prince Albert again.

"How was the meeting going?" Albert asked Palmerston while sitting.

Palmerston shook his head and replied: "I can confirm that the Egypt incident is definitely the work of France, but we can't find any substantive evidence to prove it. And that guy De Luiz seems to have always wanted to Grab the Suez Canal and make a fuss!"

"I have a gossip from the German region here. I wonder if the Prime Minister would like to hear it!" Prince Albert asked Palmerston in a casual tone.

"Of course!" Palmerston nodded immediately, he understood that Prince Albert should know something.

After all, when the royal family and the royal family communicate with each other, they will tell each other what they think they cannot speak to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands is conducting a secret negotiation with the French Empire!" Prince Albert said while pouring a cup of herbal tea for Palmerston.

"Thank you very much!" Palmerston first thanked Prince Albert, then asked, "What did the Kingdom of the Netherlands talk about with France?"

"I don't know much about that!" Prince Albert shook his head, and then added: "However, I heard it was about the territory!"

Territory!

Palmerston's complexion immediately changed drastically. The first thing he thought of was the Kingdom of Belgium. After all, the Kingdom of Belgium was a country cut from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It was the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but they always wanted to annex Belgium again. .

Moreover, the original France was also peeping at the French-speaking territory of the Kingdom of Belgium. If it were not for the Kingdom of Britain, the new Kingdom of Belgium would immediately be divided between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and France.

Could it be that the French Empire wanted to start a war against the Kingdom of Belgium?

"Your Highness, we must not sit idly by!" Palmerston, who couldn't sit still, immediately said to Prince Albert.

"Prince Prime Minister, what do you think we should do?" Prince Albert also misunderstood what Palmerston meant. "Want a war with France, or condemn France?"

"This..." Palmerston was stunned for a few seconds, and he also realized that the current British Kingdom seemed to have no way to take France.

A war with France? Don't be kidding, the British and French troops in Crimea on the front line are working together to fight against the Russian Empire. If they start a film with France in the back, what will happen to Crimea.

At that time, the tsar is afraid that he will lose his teeth in laughing.

For now, UU Reading Britain's allies in Europe are only the French Empire. (Perhaps the Kingdom of Prussia also counts as one)

Even if Britain wanted to reopen the anti-French alliance, it would not have enough manpower, and given the disgraceful performance of the Russian Empire in Crimea, reopening the anti-French alliance would most likely be a throwaway.

To condemn France? That's even more unreliable, which rogue country is afraid of condemnation!

"That doesn't allow them to directly occupy Belgium!" Palmerston blurted out.

Prince Albert, who greeted him, gave him a surprised look: "Who told you that they were going to occupy Belgium?"

"Then..." Palmerston responded immediately, "Could it be Luxembourg?"

"That's right!" Prince Albert smiled and nodded, "It's Luxembourg!"

"That won't work either!" Palmerston responded to Prince Albert.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, what do you think we should do?" Prince Albert returned to the question just now.

"We can put pressure on the Kingdom of the Netherlands to give up this transaction, and at the same time instigate the German Confederation to oppose it!" Palmerston immediately thought of this solution.

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands is afraid of Britain, so isn't it afraid of France? And how do you know that the German Confederation will definitely oppose it! Maybe they will readily agree!" Prince Albert said with a half-smile.
