For her overtures, Russell always felt that there was nothing good about holding back.

really……

"Lord Corleone, I have an idea."

Seeing that he didn't answer, the queen could only talk to herself.

"Since I came to the throne, the British media has been paying attention to me, but I don't like this feeling very much. The regular people in the cabinet don't like me either... They think I am too benevolent and not as domineering as a monarch. But I am a Woman, not Philip... Count Corleone, do you understand me?"

"You have many similarities with my wife Malena, the only difference is that you are of noble birth."

Elizabeth froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, birth is God's choice."

Russell took out the cigar from the table, "Do you mind?"

"Don't mind, you can enjoy it as much as you want."

Russell lit the cigar and said, "You can completely let the people in the government control the media."

"I don't trust them. What they have done these years has made me and Philip very sad. You know, I think the knighthood has been talked to them for many days. If Philip didn't use some tricks, they probably wouldn't agree. .”

"Queen, if the British media is willing to listen to me, then I will not be far from death. The Americans will stare at me, and the Soviets will stare at me..."

"No, I heard that you have a very good relationship with President Hoover of the FBI."

"Not bad? Queen, your news is not very well-informed. I have already been kicked out of the United States by them, otherwise why would I come to London."

"Isn't it for the children?"

"Children...smart people know that the young eagle will eventually soar in the sky, and the eagle will always protect it. How can it fly higher and farther?"

Elizabeth looked into his face and asked, "What do you want, Mr. Earl?"

It's good to ask so early, wasting so much tongue.

Russell smiled: "I want a new airport in Birmingham, and 60.00% of wheat exports."

"I...the cabinet will not agree."

"That's your business. Queen, with all due respect, you shouldn't choose to dine alone with me tonight, you should invite Philip, or the two families to dine together, so that I can make a friendly price for the sake of relationship .”

Elizabeth paused after hearing the words, and then smiled: "Okay, thank you for your reminder."

After Russell leaves, Elizabeth and Philip meet.

Philip sighed: "He is really a qualified businessman, he doesn't show any affection at all."

"What should we do now?"

Philip said: "I'll talk to him privately in a few days, he should have concerns."

"Of course, this is a thankless thing. Which smart person is willing to do it?"

Chapter 175 Yemen oil field, planted KGB

Originally, Queen Elizabeth knighted Russell in order to get in touch, but when it came to business, Russell was as unreasonable as other businessmen.

This made Elizabeth a little distressed, but there was nothing she could do.

Because the business she proposed is really a mess. Most of the British media at the moment are dominated by nobles and financial groups. Letting Russell enter the journalism industry is undoubtedly a charge, and it is reasonable for him not to agree.

Moreover, Britain is currently launching a war of aggression in southern Yemen. At this important moment, Russell opened his mouth to ask for the export of British wheat. It is tantamount to wanting to control the agricultural foundation, and agriculture is also in the hands of the nobles...

Russell directly threw the question to Queen Elizabeth, which was a very euphemistic way of refusing.

What is played between countries is not lip service, but military, wealth, technology... The most important thing is the people!

Is the country rich and the people strong?No, it should be that the people are rich and the country is strong.

This is also the implementation policy of Sicily. The life of the people in Sicily is more nourishing than that of the people in the Pennine Peninsula. Naturally, they love Sicily. No one wants to go to the mainland of Italy. What is there?Trash and smelly water everywhere.

After Elizabeth and Philip studied, only half a week later, Philip paid a visit in person.

He was carrying famous French wine and two scimitars from the Roman Empire, and Russell warmly received them.

Sitting on the sofa in the study, the two first chatted about history and Zhengzhi, and after half an hour of pleasantries, they got to the point.

"I don't want to take over the media. It's not because I'm afraid of offending the nobles. I just don't want to offend people for no reason, especially when there is no profit to be made."

Russell said it very bluntly. Philip is also a reckless character. He immediately said: "In England, you don't need to worry about the nobles looking for trouble. The queen and I will support you. Russell, our relationship is very good, and I cherish this friendship very much. So you As long as you make it clear what you want, I will agree to it within my ability.”

"Birmingham's new airport..."

Philip nodded: "No problem, I can give you shares. However, its control must be in the hands of the British Empire, and you only have the right to use it."

Russell's purpose is not here, so he didn't talk too much with him on the airport issue.

"The export of wheat from Great Britain..."

Philip sat on the sofa and sighed, hammered his forehead and said, "Russell, this request is very inappropriate. The cabinet, queen, and nobles will not agree. Don't make it difficult for me."

"I heard there is a war in Yemen?"

Hearing this, Philip immediately straightened up and said, "Yes, you are interested in Yemen?"

"Who wouldn't be interested in oil?"

Philip said with a smile: "If you have any ideas, just say, I can make the decisions in the military."

"I value two oil fields in southern Yemen, but only one of them can be developed, but Yemen cannot be exploited because of the current war."

Philip understood that Russell wanted the British army to take down the oil fields and give him the guards...

"Only oil fields?"

"Sea transportation is dangerous and requires military escort."

"...This matter depends on whether the warship has a cruise mission."

"I will let the transportation be scheduled according to the cruise mission of the warship."

Philip nodded silently.

After he went back and explained the situation to Elizabeth, the two of them figured it out.It turned out that Russell's previous desire for wheat export was a cover, but the real destination was Yemen!

At this time, Elizabeth and Philip were not very old, and their understanding of politics and business was immature. Being teased by the experienced Russell was just a lesson for them.

A few days later, Philip and Russell reached an agreement and selected an oil field in Yemen.Although Britain would have withdrawn from Yemen in 1967, it was still 10 years away from then, and a lot of money could be made in this time.

Russell, on the other hand, agreed to enter the British journalism industry, and said hello to Philip. He wanted to send some people from MI[-] to help. Philip then said hello to Richard White and told him to report to Russell Corleone immediately. Follow orders.

When Richard White came to Russell's study with apprehension, he was a little nervous.

"Your Excellency, Count Liberty, what is your mission?"

Russell smiled and said, "White, we are friends, there is no need to be so polite. You should still call me by my first name or last name."

White quickly waved his hands, "No, no, you are an earl, and I am just a commoner, so I should respect you."

Russell stared at him with a smile and said: "The queen secretly ordered me to thoroughly investigate the local news industry in the UK and find out those who are secretly discrediting the royal family. I recommended you to Prince Philip, but how to implement the specific content will be arranged by me. Question?"

"No, I obey your order without complaint."

"This is an opportunity, enough for you to completely control MI[-], you have to seize it."

White paused when he heard the words, and immediately thought about it in his mind.

He wanted to understand what His Excellency Earl Corleone meant. This is indeed an opportunity...a good opportunity for MI[-] to shock the British nobles and financial groups!

"Please speak."

"I will set up a news media company in the UK, and ask your people to provide news and gossip about nobles and consortia. Even if it is unwarranted, you must report it, and the media company will arrange and release it."

White nodded upon hearing the words: "I have no questions, Your Excellency the Earl."

"Nobles and consortiums will resist revenge, and only then will your value be truly reflected. White, the queen and the prince don't like the noble consortia who eat alone. They control all industries in the UK and make it difficult for the queen to sleep..."

White was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously, "You mean to take the opportunity to send people to infiltrate various noble consortiums, or to buy informants?"

"Is there any other way to make people fall asleep peacefully besides drugs?"

"Those who get rid of anxiety factors..."

Russell got up and walked to White and patted him on the shoulder, "I saw you right."

"Your Excellency, the assassination of nobles and financial groups will plunge the country into turmoil..."

"You don't leave any clues when you do things. Does anyone know what MI[-] did? Maybe the CIA, the KGB, or Mossad."

After hearing the sound, White thought for a while and said, "So can we leave some clues at the scene?"

"You want to frame the KGB? I advise you not to do this. The noble consortium is not a fool, and they won't believe it easily. Maybe you can deliberately leave some clues from MI[-]."

"Understood, I will play it by ear and sprinkle the entire British Empire with MI[-] staff and informants! Your Excellency Earl, I am very grateful for the opportunity you have given me."

"You're welcome, we've told you that since we first met."

With a smile on White's face, "Yes, but I still want to thank you."

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's idea was to let Russell, a Sicilian, charge forward in the British journalism industry, but they didn't expect Russell to be so scheming and lead MI[-] into this incident, acting as a horse dog!

In this way, the conflict between him and the noble consortia was eased, and he would not be attacked by groups.Organizations such as MI[-], KGB, CIA, etc. attracted most of the attention.

The nobles will only think that these things are done by them, while the normal and orderly operations of news media companies have been taken advantage of.

First, Russell asked people to re-register the news company in the United States, moved the address to London, England, and used black money to acquire the production lines of several small newspapers and magazines.

White sent people to use coercion and lure to control the staff of the newspaper and magazine company, and then asked them to write gossip and private scandals about the aristocratic consortia...

They read the news in fear, and wrote the manuscript nervously, even the money in their arms was wet, which shows how tormented their hearts are.

After the first issue of the newspaper was published, it was sold by idle children in various streets, and those who were interested directly stopped to ask the price. A newspaper only cost 2 pence, which is so cheap!

It's all for gossip noble consortiums, not for making money at all.

It sold 20 copies in various cities in the UK in a week. Not only is the price cheap, but the content is also rich and colorful, especially describing in detail the private affairs of a hereditary baron and a 40-year-old maid in the kitchen wine cellar, and how the consortium uses dirty The process of seeking profit through dirty means.

It was too late when the aristocratic consortium realized it. They sent people to investigate in England for several days, but they couldn't find out where the parent company of the 'British Strange Newspaper' was, let alone the printing factory.

They reported the matter to the queen, but the queen did not respond, but chose to deal with it coldly.

This made Russell very helpless. The queen's actions put him in a dangerous situation. She should defend the nobles loudly and dispel the suspicion of the noble consortium in a hypocritical way, but she took this matter to herself in a cold manner. body...

Is it a smart person's way to make the noble consortium mistakenly think that the queen did it?

However, it will not affect Russell's plan. He asked White to choose a few members of the noble consortium to disappear as soon as possible. Since God made them enjoy themselves in the world without cherishing them, then send them to see God.

A few days later, the hereditary baron, two viscounts, and four members of the consortium died of sudden heart attacks, car accidents... and other accidents.

The staff name tag of MI5 was accidentally left on the scene... This made the members of the noble consortium stop for a moment.

Queen Elizabeth has been very free recently, and Prince Philip is busy making babies and expanding the crown prince.

Russell and Nelly were in Birmingham to inspect the plans for the new airport.

1957 10 Month 4 Day.

The Soviet Union launched mankind's first artificial satellite.

When the noble consortium got the news, it reacted instantly.

Originally thought that the royal family was dissatisfied with them, so they used this method to suppress them.

But at this moment, it seems that it is not that simple.

Perhaps it was a conspiracy of the Soviets, who wanted the British Empire to fight among themselves and wait for an opportunity to launch a war of aggression...

After they figured it out, they met the queen in the cabinet, expressed their thoughts, and swore to be loyal to the royal family and never betray. The queen also patted them on the shoulder to express their acceptance.

"Queen, we should give the Soviets some color! Otherwise, they will think that our British Empire is weak. It's too much. They actually bullied the nobles of the empire and killed so many people by accident!"

Philip shouted: "Why didn't anyone tell me about this? Why didn't I find out until now?"

A nobleman said with a sad face: "Prince Philip, we have been blinded by the Italian fig leaf..."

At that time, they suspected that Corleone, the new free Earl of the Queen, did it, because his old line of work was the mafia, but the "British Odd News Paper" did not have the shadow of the mafia at all, and it was very professional and did not leave any clues, just like It was those professional agents who did it.

When a noble consortium died unexpectedly, some clues were left behind, such as the staff nameplate of MI5...

The 5th Division was renamed the British Security Service in 1931. It is an internal intelligence and security department, and has the same nature as the FBI in the United States.

But after careful inquiry, I learned that the name tag of the 5 staff members was lost three months ago...

All signs are that someone is trying to undermine the unity of the British Empire.

"Italian fig leaf? Baron Transit, what do you mean? Besides, Earl Corleone, he is the free earl appointed by the queen!"
