The messy news reports have mobilized the people's patriotism, but also affected the British government.

The first thing that was affected was the Ministry of Police. Looking at the crowd outside who asked the government to announce the truth, Police Secretary James Melder looked confused.

After reacting, James Melder immediately ordered: "Send someone out to explain that the assassination of Walts occurred in Afghanistan and is not within the management of the Ministry of Police.

If you want to know the truth about the assassination, let them go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inquire."

No matter how awesome the Ministry of Police is, it is only responsible for local security issues. The assassination that occurred abroad has no penny relationship with them. James Melder does not want to bear this unforgettable disaster.

...

The Ministry of Police was unwilling to wade into this muddy water, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was also unwilling to do so. The unlucky Sir George was blocked as soon as he left the house.

One of the remembered asked, "Dear Sir George, we need to know the truth of the matter and not let the hero's blood flow in vain."

There is nothing wrong with that, overnight, Wattes was portrayed as a hero by the media. Under the coercion and temptation of the enemy, he still insisted on safeguarding the interests of Britain.

The assassination seems to have nothing to do with coercion and inducement, but this is not a problem. The editors of the entertainment news section completed the supplement in the shortest time.

If it weren't for the time being too short, I guess these guys could have made up for a heroine and a romantic love story.

The question was a reporter from the London Daily. As a current affairs news media, it is relatively fair, but there is no added brainless plot.

Facing a group of journalists, in order to maintain their good image, Foreign Minister George had to stand up with his teeth.

"Sir, the truth of the incident is still under investigation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not received any relevant information. In fact, we have not established diplomatic relations in Afghanistan and there is no diplomatic embassy in the local area.

This time Watts visited Afghanistan was appointed by the Governor of India. You can go to the Colonial Ministry to learn more about the details.

We will pay close attention to the progress of the case, and when there is a result, we will issue an announcement.”

Although George is all true, Britain and the Afghanistan have not established diplomatic relations, and Walts is not an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can do nothing except pay attention, but this answer does not satisfy the reporters and becomes too official.

A reporter asked: "Jazz, don't you think this is shirking again?

The Ministry of Police said it could not be controlled, because the assassination occurred abroad and the Ministry of Police had no right to inquire and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to come.

We believe this explanation. After all, the scope of authority of the Ministry of Police is only local, which is clearly stipulated by the law.

Now you say that you have not established diplomatic relations and the appointment of the Indian Governor General as an excuse to let us go to the Colonial Ministry to learn the truth, which seems to make sense.

So do you know that when we passed by the Colonial Ministry just now, we had already asked, and an official said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was responsible for foreign-related incidents.

So who should be responsible for this assassination? Who should be responsible for the people if they want to know the truth?"

The assassination of Waltes is too involved, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Colonial Affairs, and the Ministry of Police can intervene, and there are reasons to shirk it.

Now he is blocked by the reporter. Apart from secretly scolding his colleagues for being unintentional, Sir George can only admit that he is unlucky.

After a little thought, Sir George replied seriously: "Sir, your question is very valuable.

But we must also consider the particularity of the assassination of Waltes. Britain is a legal country, and the powers of various troops are clearly defined.

Before this, we had no experience in dealing with similar incidents. Now that we encounter problems, we can't help but feel a little panicked.

The case occurred in Central Asia thousands of miles away. No one of us knows the specific situation. In fact, so far, the government has only received a telegram from India.

Please give us some time and send someone to intervene in the investigation. If everyone is worried that someone will shirk responsibility, I will propose that all troops jointly form an investigation team."

...

After all his lips and tongues, Sir George got rid of the reporter. As for the joint investigation team, it was a joke.

When the investigation team is formed and we set out from the UK to Central Asia, it will be two months later.

After so long, what else can I investigate? The mastermind behind the scenes has long dealt with the beginning and end and turned into a headless case.

...

Based on the principle that suffering alone is worse than suffering, Sir George did not choose to bear the pressure alone, but decisively chose to share it with everyone.

"On the surface, the assassination of Walts was done by religious extremist organizations. We don't know whether there are any secret masters or not.

There are too many suspicions. Theoretically, the Russians are the most suspicious. Assassination of Watts can cut off the possibility of Afghanistan turning to us.

However, such extreme measures are likely to lead to the outbreak of war. Now the Russians are out of reach for the Afghanistan area, and provoking war is not beneficial to them.

The second is Austria. Not long ago, the Austrian minister to Persia visited Afghanistan, with the main purpose of matching Russia to form an alliance.

The Austrian minister had just left and the assassination broke out, which was a bit too coincidental. The problem was that planning this assassination fuck would not be beneficial to Austria.

Once the war breaks out, Austria is simply unable to stop us from occupying the Afghan region. The only value is probably to interrupt the arms race.

From this perspective, the suspicion of the French is greater than that of Austria. After all, the French government has the weakest financial resources and the most pressure is under.

Of course, other countries also have considerable suspicion. In order to provoke confrontation between major powers, many countries have the motivation to attack.

It is not ruled out that there is no mastermind behind it, but the work of the local religious extremist organizations in Afghanistan. After all, Watts has been assassinated many times before.

We have too little information to lock in the identity of the enemy. The people want the truth, but the investigation cannot continue.

Anti-British sentiment in Afghanistan is serious. If someone is sent to investigate, it may not even be safe for the safety of the members of the investigation team.

How can we ask the Afghan government to investigate and give us an answer in the end?"

Sir George raised all the possibilities, definitely not to investigate the real murderer, but to let everyone choose the "real murderer".

The interests pursued by Britain are the most important. Whoever is the murderer is the most beneficial to Britain is then the mastermind behind it.

The colonial minister Primros sneered: "Sir, we have no choice at all, right?"

The multiple-choice questions are correct, but the multiple-choice questions that have been announced.

It is not possible to just pick an enemy to gain recognition from the people. A bunch of reporters chased the government for the truth. If there were no opposition party pushers behind this, no one would believe it.

What is really worthy and convincing is actually Russia, France and Austria, and there is also a weak Afghanistan.

The Royal Navy cannot make a case. If the blame is placed on a big country, it will be arguing and it will be impossible to give the explanations the domestic people want.

For the Gladstone Cabinet, that was totally a self-inflicted trouble.

Navy Secretary Sir Astley Cooper Kee warned: "This is an enemy's conspiracy, they want to provoke the Central Asian war and destroy our plan to drag down Fao."

The Navy Minister’s opposition is inevitable, and once the war breaks out, the government’s money invested in the arms race will be reduced.

The final result is likely to be a compromise with France and Austria to end the arms race.

Chancellor Akiji Childes: "It is not scary to destroy our plan. The trouble is that we want to stop, and France and Austria may not appreciate it.

If the Second Afghan War breaks out, France and Austria will not be lonely. While inspiring the Russians to confront us in Central Asia, they will continue the arms race.

We are under great pressure!”

It’s not just because of the pressure, but also because of the exhaustion. Both sides are very important. If there is any problem on either end, Britain’s overlordship will be shaken.

Foreign Minister George: "No if, but it will happen. Whether the French will support the Russian minister's expansion in Central Asia is uncertain, but Austria will definitely support it.

If possible, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hopes to suspend the arms race before the Second Afghan War breaks out.”

Navy Secretary Astley Cooper Kee hurriedly opposed: "This is impossible! We can stop, France and Austria will not stop.

If you don’t want to see the name of the world’s largest naval power change after the war is over, don’t make such a joke.”

International competition has always been about "taking advantage of your illness and killing you", but there is no mercy for his subordinates.

Don't say that the Austrian Navy surpasses Britain, even if it is just flat, it will be enough to shake their maritime overlordship.

In the final analysis, there are now three countries that are capable of competing for maritime hegemony, and any two companies will be cheap to watch.

Once the Royal Navy loses its absolute dominance, it will only have a deterrent effect, and it will be impossible to provoke a war that will both lose and lose.

In fact, since ten years ago, the deterrence of the Royal Navy has been declining. Faced with the French and Austrian navies, the British government has no good way.

Seeing the quarrel escalating, Prime Minister Gladston waved to stop him and said, "Stop, it's not the time for a quarrel. The situation seems to be against us, but in fact it's not that bad.

We were going to win the Afghan region, but this assassination was only a pre-emptive time and did not affect our established strategy.

As for the issue of the naval arms race, unless the Fa-Oken fires down together, we will definitely continue to follow up.

Everyone’s concerns are nothing more than financial problems, but this is not impossible to solve.

We will start a war to seek justice for Britain. When to start a war and what level it will be decided by ourselves.

We can even declare war on the Afghans first, give an explanation to the people in the country, and do not need to send troops for the time being. When we are ready for war, we will launch an attack."
