Perhaps it was the unique "telepathy" between politicians, as soon as Prime Minister Palmerston and Cavour met, they already determined that they were the same type of politician.
To avoid letting Prime Minister Palmerston perceive his true intentions, Cavour decided to adopt the "toothpaste squeezing" strategy.
That is, unless Palmerston initiates a question, Cavour will absolutely not reveal an extra word.
Standing in opposition to Cavour, Palmerston also displayed an indifferent attitude, merely nodding slightly and saying to Cavour in a bland tone, "Mr. Cavour, I'm pleased to meet you!"
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I equally feel honored for this meeting!" Cavour deliberately pretended to be very excited, extending his hand to Palmerston.
After pausing for two seconds, Palmerston also extended his hand and shook tightly with Cavour.
When Palmerston and Cavour's hands separated, it represented the formal start of the topic.
