I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 293 The Queen’s Cousin

As the investigation deepens, more and more French politicians are involved.

The Panama Canal Drilling Company obtained approximately 14 billion francs through the issuance of bonds, half of which Resaibu used as bribes.

About 200 French officials and parliamentarians accepted bribes from Reesebu, but except for the former Minister of Public Works Bahon, who was sentenced to 5 years in prison, others received no punishment.

Even Lei Saibu was released shortly after being imprisoned.

The impact of this incident was still great. Clemenceau, who was involved in the case, was forced to resign from his post and temporarily stay away from politics.

Prime Minister Loubet was also forced to resign.

But Loubet did not completely leave the political stage. In 1899, Loubet was even elected President of France.

Clemenceau even led the Paris Peace Conference as French Prime Minister after World War I.

This is probably the price of freedom and freedom.

For Vladivostok, the biggest impact of the Panama Canal scandal is that it casts doubts on the Trans-Siberian Railway, which to a certain extent affected the sales of Trans-Siberian Railway bonds.

This topic cannot be discussed with Georgi, otherwise Georgi will be angry.

The queen’s height——

Although Georgi has been away from George's life due to illness in recent years, the relationship between George and Georgi has not changed. No matter whether Georgi is in Crimea or France, George gives Georgi a gift every year.

George was still very enthusiastic. After meeting Georgi at the Vladivostok pier, he gave Georgi a big hug despite Georgi's objections.

Ya Er is 21 meters tall and Ya San is meters tall. Even in the st century, they are still burly men.

Georgi was indeed a little thin because he had been suffering from illness for a long time.

In August, Vladivostok welcomed a special guest, Georgi, who had been suffering from long-term illness.

What makes George happy is that although Georgi's condition has not been cured, it is under good control. Apart from not being able to marry and have children like normal people, people around Georgi will not be infected as long as they take precautions.

George laughed loudly. Georgi and Nicholas should have been dragged down by the queen, and they were not very tall.

As George's childhood playmate, although Georgi has a naughty character, compared with the princes with worse conduct, Georgi is like a breath of fresh air.

Georgi himself was also very interested in Vladivostok, so after seeking the consent of the Tsar and Empress, Georgi arrived in Vladivostok on the "Polar Star".

The Tsar searched for famous doctors in Europe for Georgi's condition, but there was no progress.

Democratic France may not be able to build the Panama Canal well.

"I wish I had a body as strong as yours!"

But the autocratic and decadent Russian Empire will definitely be able to complete the Trans-Siberian Railway.

After returning to St. Petersburg, Rambach spoke highly of Vladivostok's medical system in an interview with reporters, which attracted the attention of the Tsar.

George had nothing to say.

Georgi hadn't seen George in several years.

"One meter nine!"

"George, how tall are you now?"

During his stay in Vladivostok, Nikolai's accompanying doctor Rambach was deeply impressed by Vladivostok's medical system.

Georgi regretted it.

I think back to those days, when George was exercising, Georgi was fooling around, playing, trying to trick people——

It's too late to regret now.

"Find a way to cure the disease first, believe in yourself and the doctor."

George cheered Georgi up.

"I hope so-" George could see Georgi's bitter smile through the mask.

Georgi has no extravagant aspirations now. As long as he can live like an ordinary person, Georgi is very satisfied.

George did his best for Georgi. After sending Georgi to Vladivostok Hospital, he immediately organized a doctor to consult with Georgi.

Regarding the disease of tuberculosis, European doctors really have no good solution.

Although the doctors at Vladivostok Hospital did not say that there was a cure-all solution, they still came up with several medical plans to treat Georgy's condition.

"Your Highness's condition is not very good. He has been delayed for too long and it is difficult to get rid of the root cause."

Jiang Haiyang is Georgi's attending doctor and is not optimistic about Georgi's condition.

"There is no need for any psychological burden, just do your best."

George also knew about Georgi's situation.

Georgi has been suffering from tuberculosis for nearly ten years. If it were an ordinary person, the grass on his grave would have changed several times.

There will definitely not be any beheading in Vladivostok. George just wants to have a clear conscience.

As a prince, Georgi had a large entourage.

His disease is also very special. Because it is contagious, he cannot live in a special ward.

George simply placed Georgi in the Governor's Palace built by former Governor Korff.

In order to facilitate Georgi's travel, George arranged a motorcade for Georgi and also arranged a liaison officer beside Georgi to facilitate coordination.

Georgy was very curious about Vladivostok.

Before coming to Vladivostok, Georgi’s knowledge of Vladivostok was limited to newspapers and magazines.

Vladivostok is developing at a rapid pace. Every time George returns to Vladivostok from St. Petersburg, he can clearly feel the speed of Vladivostok's development. For Georgy, Vladivostok is a city of miracles that is even more prosperous than St. Petersburg.

Apart from receiving treatment, Georgi’s favorite thing is to travel through the streets of Vladivostok in an RV.

If he were not worried that his disease would infect others, Georgi would even want to take the subway.

George had no time to hang out with Georgie. Winter was coming again, and there were a lot of things waiting for George to deal with.

The war in East India is progressing smoothly. The Aceh Sultanate has broken through the defense line arranged along the old port in East India and is gradually approaching Batavia.

More than half of the 100,000-strong expeditionary force formed by the Dutch government through selling iron has been lost. Even Lieutenant General Stam, the commander of the expeditionary force, was shot dead in the old port. The Netherlands is suing for peace from the Aceh Sultanate through France, hoping to end the war.

The Sultanate of Aceh ignored the Dutch sues for peace and continued to attack Batavia.

So the Dutch took the initiative to come to Vladivostok, hoping that George could mediate.

"If you can fight, let's follow the law of the jungle. If you can't fight, let's live in peace. Where do you get the face?"

George really couldn't figure it out. The Europeans' advantages hadn't existed since ancient times, so why did they think the world would revolve around them?

"Duke, it was former Prime Minister Aeneas MacKay's decision to start the war. Now MacKay has taken the blame and resigned and received the punishment he deserved——"

Queen Wilhelmina's envoy Brugen was tactful.

McKay resigned last year.

If you put it that way, it does make sense.

However, it would be too unkind to blame the former prime minister. Why not blame King William III of the Netherlands, who died the year before last.

Queen Wilhelmina is only 12 years old this year, so she is George's cousin.
