Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Sir, here comes the wine!"

A servant arrives with a glass of wine and interrupts Howard's pressure on the Commissioner of Police.

Howard nodded, "To that gentleman!"

The servant respectfully brought the drink to Du Yongxiao.

The Commissioner of Police took the opportunity to wipe off his cold sweat.

Everyone sat down again, and the tense atmosphere flashed just now.

It is said that in the Middle Ages European nobles domesticated knights as their own family power. In order to distinguish each other, the major nobles specially designed medals for their knights as their own status symbols. Later, the battle robe gradually replaced the identification function of the medal, but the medal is still Retain it and become a status symbol. And with the development, the medal became a representative to prove the merits of soldiers in war.

The Order of the British Empire, also known as the Order of the British Empire, is a knightly medal in the British authorization and award system.

The medal was created by King George V of England on June 4, 1917. The medal was originally established to fill the loopholes in the British honor and award system at that time.

At that time, George V wanted to reward some civilians and soldiers who participated in World War I but did not go to the battlefield, but there were no suitable medals, which prompted the establishment of the Order of the British Empire. With subsequent development, the British Medal is also used to reward people who have made outstanding contributions in all walks of life.

The Order of the British Empire is divided into five levels, but only those with the first two levels, the Grand Cross of the Jazz and the Order of the Commander-in-Chief, can have the title of jazz, and they are honored as "Sir" or "Dame". The Hong Kong policeman who studied, even if Du Yongxiao won the Knight's Medal, it is also the fifth-class Member's Medal.

But even this broke the British record. After all, there has never been a Chinese in the history of England to receive awards here. Even if they did, they would receive awards in Hong Kong, which is completely different from being awarded here. Two concepts .

Coupled with the fact that Du Yongxiao is so young, it is unbelievable.

After a few glasses of wine, the Chief of Police calmed down, cleared his mind, coughed and said, "Sir, we will definitely consider your opinion carefully—"

"No, I'm not giving you opinions for your consideration, but for your obedience!" Howard said domineeringly, with disdainful eyes.

"Ahem, this—"

The senior police superintendent quickly got up and apologized with a smile: "Since you have spoken, sir, we will definitely do it!"

The Chief of Police also understood, and hurriedly stood up: "Yes, we will do as you ordered!" After speaking, he looked at Du Yongxiao and said: "Captain Du, I am very sorry that I cannot reward you in name! "

Du Yongxiao said politely: "It's okay, as long as you have the heart!" There was a polite smile on his face.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily, Howard nodded, ordered people to serve drinks, and asked the band to play to add to the fun.

For him, fighting for a "Medal of Knights" for Du Yongxiao is already the biggest reward. After all, Du Yongxiao came to London to study, and it is absolutely honorable to bring this medal back home.

But as far as Du Yongxiao is concerned, at the moment his mind is not on this bullshit medal, he does not care about these.

What is glory? It's better to be more realistic, even if Howard pocketed hundreds of thousands of pounds, it would be good.

If you let the people present know what he thinks in his heart, they will surely drop their jaws.

Such an avant-garde "pragmatist" like Du Yongxiao is absolutely rare. In this era, many British people regard glory as more important than their lives.

...

"Drinking and having fun" in such an occasion is not something ordinary people can bear, and the complicated British etiquette alone will give you a headache.

Du Yongxiao was able to do a job with ease, and even did a lot of etiquette more thoughtfully than these British bigwigs. This not only surprised Howard, but also surprised everyone present, including the future Prime Minister Edward Heath and Margaret Thatcher.

In fact, Du Yongxiao watched many dramas in his last life, including the famous British drama "Hamilton Manor", in which the etiquette rules are more complicated and cumbersome than reality.

It just so happens that Du Yongxiao is a very careful person, and now he is using them to verify them one by one, and he suddenly feels very interested.

Out of politeness, Howard formally introduced Du Yongxiao to everyone present.

Although it was just a casual introduction and could not bring actual benefits to Du Yongxiao, everyone in the room knew that Du Yongxiao saved Mr. Howard's daughter, and Howard now regards him as a "benefactor". Just now he helped Du Yongxiao win the "Knight Medal" and it explained everything.

As long as Matt Howard does not fall in the future and the family is still prosperous, then Du Yongxiao will have one more person covering him, even if he does not walk sideways in England, he will be able to travel unimpeded.

After all, everyone has to give this little face.

Du Yongxiao's performance was neither humble nor overbearing, without any flattery, nor did he behave like a philistine.

As an "experienced man", Du Yongxiao has always firmly believed that "strength is king". What Howard gave him is only superficial glory. If he wants to really conquer these people in front of him, including the two future British prime ministers, the first thing to do is to strengthen himself!

Only when you are so strong that no one can match, will others truly "respect" you.

Of course, since he has a "gold finger", Du Yongxiao doesn't mind opening up. Among the crowd, he deliberately impressed Edward Heath and Mrs. Thatcher, and briefly talked with them about the political direction of the United Kingdom. There are future developments in the UK.

At the beginning, people just smiled politely, thinking that you, a mere Hong Kong policeman, don't know much about politics.

Even Howard thinks that Du Yongxiao is a bit overconfident when talking about such a topic.

The old butler Witt shook his head even more.

The only ones who are happy are the Chief of Police and the Senior Superintendent. They very much hope that Du Yongxiao will make a fool of himself --- they will make a lot more fools than Du Yongxiao tonight.

It's a pity that Du Yongxiao failed to do what they wished. What Du Yongxiao said was definitely not aimless. Relying on the knowledge stored in his previous life, in a few short sentences, he pointed out the current problems and was meticulous, which attracted Edward Heath and Mrs. Thatcher to think seriously .

Even when Du Yongshun just said a word, they were asked to think for a long time, and their thoughts couldn't even keep up with Du Yongxiao's rhythm.

Du Yongxiao also drank too much, he was no longer reserved just now, and couldn't help bursting out a few famous economic theories from the previous life, such as "pigs can fly even in the wind."

There was no sound at the scene, and it fell into silence immediately.

Howard was completely impressed with him.

The old butler Witt opened his mouth even more in shock.

When Du Yongxiao saw this scene, he knew that there was too much to say.

Just as Edward Heath was about to ask him a question, Du Yongxiao got up politely: "I'm sorry, gentlemen! I drank too much wine, excuse me first!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly, stared at everyone in amazement, and under Howard's meaningful gaze, turned and left the living room.

After he left, the future British Prime Minister Edward Heath sighed: "What did he say? Pigs can fly? Who of you will keep the records?"
