British 1986

Raymond's mind instantly thought of the information about Allen. Although these information were only fragments of information that were circulated because of last year's gossip, but thinking about that Excellency, it is said that he is not particularly good-tempered, but very irritable, and some Cruel.

What if he took someone with him and tied him up on a whim in the name of making a movie, and then suddenly launched an attack.

Thinking of all these conspiracies

Seeing Governor Raymond suddenly become sullen and silent, Cameron looked at Patrice in a daze, not understanding what was going on.

Why did the atmosphere suddenly become cold while we were chatting?

Cameron even doubted whether he had said something wrong just now, but he recalled what he had just said in his mind, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

"This is about movie shooting."

Governor Raymond glanced at the two of them, looking a little embarrassed.

He wanted to refuse now, but for a while he couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

All worries are based on some instincts. In his opinion, if these people are let in, it will be like a mouse falling into a rice vat. Shouldn't he just do whatever he wants?

Although Canada is now in a state of not listening to announcements, they are still a member of the Commonwealth, and the nominal monarch is still the Queen.

As long as they still recognize the Queen, they must also recognize other corresponding things, such as the preferential treatment and privileges of the British nobles.

What if something happens to Earl Allen or his "actors" during filming in Canada, such as bullying ordinary people?

Not to mention their good quality, there are more than a thousand strong young men, all in their twenties and thirties, in their prime. If they film here for a few months, there will inevitably be no problems!

If something goes wrong, whose fault is it?

Want to arrest someone?

Don't even think about anything else. He is a noble and cannot be arrested at all. Even their police are not even qualified to question him. At most, they can send that gentleman back and wait until he goes back. Nothing will happen.

As for the people he brought with him, what if your Excellency is a short-term protector and insists that these people are his servants?

The servants of nobles cannot be caught casually. If they make mistakes, they have to be dealt with by the nobles behind them.

As for how to manage it?

Raymond could think of nothing more than letting them go back to Wales and that would be the end of it.

The current situation is such that we are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, and we are afraid of both sides.

Just say that they won't be allowed to make movies, and you can't find any good reason. You can't make things clear, right?

Patrice looked at Governor Raymond who was hesitant to speak. He couldn't understand why the governor was so peaceful just now and now he looked like he was desperate for life.

"Uh, Governor Raymond, is our request unreasonable?"

With the purpose of testing, Patrice casually tried.

"No, no, no, Mr. Patrice, you also know, Governor General of Canada, personally, I don't care about this aspect of work now. I am mainly responsible for some publicity and charity matters. How about you go Let’s ask the Prime Minister again?”

"???"

As these words came out, Patrice finally saw it.

Governor Raymond, for some unknown reason, we had a good conversation just now, but now he is sent to the Prime Minister.

Everyone knows the truth. Although Governor Raymond is not a noble, he is the governor. For the sake of him being the governor, Allen asked Patrice to come to him. Now if they are asked to go to the prime minister again, what is the matter? Son?

Patrice squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Governor Raymond who had an embarrassed look on his face, but his eyes revealed a look of being distant.

"Well, that's really presumptuous of disturbing Governor Raymond, so let's take our leave today."

After saying this, Patrice stood up and signaled with his eyes to Cameron, who was confused. The two walked decisively.

Since the other party is so resistant and we still don’t know the reason, why are we still fussing over it?

"What's wrong? Didn't we have a good discussion?"

After driving out of the Governor's Mansion, Cameron still didn't understand what was going on, so he couldn't help but ask Patrice, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"How do I know?! These damn Canadians have a lot of shit going on!"

Patrice was also a little confused. This inexplicable rejection made him very unhappy. As soon as he said the complaint, he remembered that Cameron was also Canadian, so he quickly added: "I am only talking about some Canadians. , which definitely does not include you."

Cameron nodded subconsciously, and while driving, he recalled what had just happened, and subconsciously muttered to himself: "Tell me, does he think there are too many people coming this time?"

"Huh? That's not true, is it?"

Patrice didn't think about it at all. There are so many big crews in Hollywood, and it's not like there aren't crews of hundreds of people. Their crew of thousands this time is just smaller than the crew of several hundred people in Hollywood. Just a few more

What's all the fuss about.

"Hey" Cameron sighed. He finally went back to Canada to do some work, but now that the work hasn't been completed, he feels a little melancholy.

"Then where should we go next? Really go to the Prime Minister?"

"No, let's book a flight to Los Angeles."

Patrice rejected Cameron's idea. Why go there? This shows that they are not welcome. Why bother to go up and see their faces? Does he care?

"To Los Angeles?"

"The young master has given us two tasks. The first is to come over and discuss cooperation with the Governor of Canada, and the second is to deal with the props. Now that we have failed in the first task, we can only go to the second task first. "

Patrice shrugged and looked at Cameron helplessly.

"Okay, that's all."

Windsor Castle, Berkshire, southeast England, before the Queen's birthday in April.

Bobby Robson followed Alan cautiously like a little follower.

The two have not seen each other for several months. This is the first time the two have met since the World Cup ended last year.

In last year's World Cup, England achieved its best performance in history in recent decades, and deserved the rewards.

In theory, this award is overdue and should have been awarded at the end of last year.

However, there were many special circumstances last year, and after the merits were reported, all parties had to review and adjust them. In the end, there was a slight delay, and the honors could not be scheduled for the end of the year. The honors could only be awarded together with the Queen's birthday at the beginning of this year.

"Sir, have you come here often before?"

Looking at Allen walking in front, Bobby Robson asked softly. Since entering Windsor Castle, he felt that his eyesight was not enough, and everything he looked at was strange.

As we all know, Windsor Castle is the Queen's favorite castle and she often likes to stay here.

This castle complex located on the south bank of the Thames River was originally built to guard ships traveling on the Thames River and protect the royal family.

Compared with other palaces, the living environment here at Windsor Castle seems slightly worse. Not far from it is Heathrow International Airport, with so many planes taking off and landing every day, the noise is very loud.

Boss Cha dislikes Windsor Castle very much.

But all this was no problem for Bobby Robson, who was here for the first time!

When Allen heard Bobby Robson's words, he didn't want to say anything. It was his first time here today, and Allen didn't like it here very much.

He mainly hates being so close to the old lady. Fortunately, although the old lady will attend the awarding ceremony in person today, the person who is actually conferring the award is Boss Cha who does it for her, and the Queen is just watching.

When he reached the door of the Honors Hall, Allen stopped and whispered: "Go and line up first. Someone will come to meet you in a while."

There are many people being awarded medals here today, but the medals they are awarded are all different. The whole process will be based on the status, and the medals will be awarded in order.

Allen himself definitely doesn't have to queue up. Here today, among those waiting for the award, he has the highest status, so of course he is the first in line!

After sorting out his navy officer's uniform, the dark blue military uniform did not have any military rank, only a golden Royal Attaché's ribbon was hung on the right shoulder. Thinking that he was about to get his first medal, Allen was still a little bit excited. excited.

For now, Boss Cha has not revealed his medal today to him in advance, saying that it is a small surprise for him.

Nobles like them will not announce the medals they have received, but also the specific contributions they received for their medals. This will not be announced to the public. Only specific people can view it.

It is also tradition to keep secrets from the outside world. Otherwise, how should Boss Cha reveal such a large row of painted medals on his chest?

He has earned medals and made a small contribution. Just like Allen is doing now, he followed the team to participate in a World Cup. He barely contributed much and was able to get gold plated smoothly. Only two people in the entire team could do it this time. Earning medals, it’s Allen, the royal representative who leads the team, and Bobby Robson, the team’s head coach. As for the players?

I'm sorry I don't have them.

Although those players were the ones who actually played hard, the cruel reality is that they were only praised once by the media and nothing else.

And the medal that Allen received this time is definitely better than the medal that Bobby Robson could receive.

With a roll call, Allen heard his name, and two guards wearing bearskin hats solemnly opened the double doors of the Honor Hall.

The sound of solemn and low music came from nowhere. Allen tightened his collar nervously, stepped on the red carpet, and slowly walked into the Honors Hall.

In the main hall, there are red carpets arranged in a T shape. At the end of the red carpet that Allen is walking on, there is a row of red carpets.

At the intersection of the T-shaped red carpet, an ultra-low stool was placed on the ground.

Boss Cha was also wearing a military uniform and ribbon, with a row of medals hanging on his left chest. When he saw Allen coming in first, he raised his eyebrows at Allen with a serious smile.

Not far behind Boss Cha's left side were several "civil servants" sitting behind tables responsible for recording.

Behind him on the right stood a royal servant carrying a tray.

The entire awarding hall is not large, but the decoration is very luxurious and solemn.

The Queen was standing not far behind Boss Cha, wearing a top hat and holding a blue bag in her left hand. When she saw Allen coming in, the Queen gave Allen a rare hint of a smile, as if he was smiling.

When Allen saw it, he quickly bent down to salute, then walked to the small stool and quietly waited for the next step of the procedure.

Among the "civil servants" who were responsible for recording next to them, the one on the far right stood up and read aloud.

"Alan Hill, Earl of Carmarthen"

Then he introduced a long list of Allen's identity, and finally mentioned that Allen led the team to participate in the World Cup in Italy last year, and the England team achieved very good results, which promoted our empire's prestige.

After finishing this long series of introductions, Allen saw Boss Cha looking at him, quickly stepped forward with his left leg, and bent his right leg to kneel on the small stool next to him.

This is a half-kneeling ceremony, a bit like a man kneeling down on one knee when proposing to a woman, but compared to kneeling down on one knee, this one does not require kneeling down at all, just place your right knee on a low stool for cushioning. .

Still in the same routine, Boss Cha drew out his saber, tapped Allen's left shoulder, and said some words of encouragement. This was regarded as acknowledging Allen's contribution just read out by the civil servant. Then he took back the saber, and then picked up the servant's hand next to him. He was holding the medal on the tray, a small white flower medal with a cross and a blue decorative ribbon.

Seeing the style of this medal, Allen raised his eyebrows. Boss Cha must have worked hard.

The medal given this time has a very high gold content - the Royal Victoria Medal.

The particularity is that this series of medals can only be awarded to members of the British royal family, members of foreign royal families, and nobles who have made outstanding contributions to the British royal family.

Since its establishment in 1896, the identity of the first recipient has also been legendary. The reason why Allen knew about this medal was because he was very impressed by the first person to receive this medal.

This medal was created in June, and more than a month later, Li Hongzhang, who happened to be visiting Britain, was awarded this medal.

Li Hongzhang is an earl and is eligible to be awarded the title.

This is a little bit of unpopular knowledge. Allen just remembered Li Hongzhang, so he remembered this medal by the way.

It’s quite amazing to think that Li Zhongtang received this medal here more than a hundred years ago.

However, the difference between Allen and Li Zhongtang is that his Royal Victoria Medal is of a higher rank than his.

This thing is divided into five levels.

From high to low is the Grand Cross level, which is the one Li Hongzhang received. Below that is the senior officer level, then below that is the commander level, then below that is the member level, and the fifth level is the medal. class.

And now, the one that Boss Cha has pinned on Allen's chest is the commander-level one, abbreviated as (L.V.O). This means that Allen, as a representative of the royal family, has made outstanding contributions in leading the team to participate in world competitions.

Although Allen has been messing around, this is how he got the medal. Boss Cha has arranged it for him. If he performs well in the future, he will slowly get promoted. If there are other medals, sooner or later he will have to give it to the left chest. Let’s talk about it after hanging all the medals on it.

"Calm down and do your best!"

Boss Cha turned his back to the Queen, with a smile on his face. After Allen straightened up and stood up, he patted Allen's shoulder and encouraged him. After Allen bent down and saluted again, the entire investiture ceremony was considered complete. Completed all procedures.

PS: I’m a bit busy today, I’m taking online classes, so I’ll have only one update for the day.
