Prime Minister Palmerston and Baron Largren immediately realized that something unexpected might have happened in the Near East upon hearing that the Minister of Foreign Affairs wanted to meet with them simultaneously.
Simultaneously, a look of panic appeared on the faces of Palmerston and Largren.
Has the Russian Empire already breached Silistra and is advancing toward Constantinople?
An absurd idea surged into Palmerston's mind, but he dismissed it in an instant!
Because once Silistra is breached, the first to face the Russian Imperial Army would not be the Kingdom of Britain, but the French Empire.
The 40,000 French Army troops stationed in the Varna Region (according to Palmerston's intelligence) could not have been defeated so quickly in any case!
"Quick! Let him in!" Palmerston hurriedly instructed the chief secretary.
Now is not the time for wild speculation!
