After nearly a month of deceit and bickering, the new pro-war Cabinet led by Palmerston finally shook off the shackles of the peace faction and, with the covert support of Prince Albert, began to stride towards centralization.
Palmerston now wields more power than during his previous tenure as Prime Minister, and the media in London erupted into a new climax following the establishment of the pro-war Cabinet.
Newspapers, led by the "Advertising Morning News," began to shout slogans to expand the British Army under the dual stimulus of Romanian financial backers and certain "foreign forces."
Once the slogans emerged, they quickly garnered widespread support from people across society as well as from British Army officers.
