British 1986

There is not much to say in the Queen's edict, just polite words.

At the beginning, I talked about Patten's life. The general meaning is that there is a young Englishman named Peng Moumou who has a good background and has been working for more than 20 years. He works hard and has strong professional ability. Today, he is specially named the Governor of Xiangjiang. What follows With some polite words and words copied from the Bible, Allen was just like when he was a child when he was in school and was called to the podium to read a short composition. He just read the entire edict without emotion, and then He handed it over to Justice Yang, who was sitting across from him.

Justice Yang, who is also the chief prosecutor, is the first Chinese to serve, and he is still sitting in seat C today, so he is very eye-catching. Among all the guests sitting on the stage today, Justice Yang is extremely conspicuous. Wearing a red robe and a traditional white curly wig.

He needed to be responsible for verifying the contents of the edict again. After seeing the official signature and seal as well as the Queen's signature and seal, he handed the edict to Patten next to him with both hands.

Patten's face glowed with joy, he took the edict with both hands, and gently bent down to signal to Allen, who was already sitting down. Then he held the edict in his left hand, and picked up a small black book on the table with his right hand. It's the Bible.

With these two things in hand, it’s time to enter Patten’s special performance - Three Oaths!

Three oaths means saying three oaths.

The first is the Pledge of Allegiance.

This is very straightforward. I, XX, am loyal to the Queen, her legal hereditary heirs and other heirs.

The second is the oath of ordination.

This is to formally tell the guests present that when he is appointed governor, he must be loyal to the queen and perform well in his position as governor.

The third is the judicial oath.

When you become a governor, you accept judicial power, and you must fulfill your duties and serve diligently.

Allen listened to Patten reciting the oath, and his expression suddenly felt strange.

This fat man has a Bible in one hand and an edict in the other. He swears to God.

Although he said it nicely, Allen already roughly knew that he was going to cause trouble after taking office. In his opinion, this scene was quite magical and ironic.

No wonder it’s not easy to be a governor. This guy has a dark heart and a thick skin, and he has to be shameless!

Why?

Thinking of this, Allen suddenly thought of a small detail that he had not noticed before.

This Patten is the only governor who is not a Protestant, he is a Catholic!

Tsk tsk tsk.

London gentlemen, have you even considered such small details?

The majority of the faith in the UK is Protestantism, although it is one of the three major branches of Christianity, the others being Catholic and Orthodox.

But the main beliefs are the same, but the details of the schools are different.

Now

Knowing that this is the last governor of Hong Kong, he will be disgraced in a few years. The new governor sent this time not only did not give him a title, but also changed his belief to a non-subject one.

Just highlight one person, it’s none of our business if you lose your people!

In this way, he disgraced neither the aristocracy nor the faith.

Damn it, it feels like being deceived.

Allen secretly laughed a little in his heart and moved his legs. He hated having such formalistic meetings.

Looking at the crowd in the audience made him very uncomfortable.

Wait for Patten to finish taking the three oaths.

Justice Yang then presided over the rest of the process, for example.

He affirmed Patten's oath just now and welcomed the arrival of the new governor on behalf of Xiangjiang officials. He also expressed his position on behalf of local officials that he would do his best to cooperate with the new governor and do a good job in various departments.

Then

Chief Secretary Sir Thomas Hodder gave a relay speech. Justice Yang had just welcomed Patten on behalf of the local Chinese, so Hodder was the British guy on the local British side, welcoming Patten.

After Huo De finally finished speaking, Patten, who had just sat down to rest for a short time, stood up again and began to deliver an inaugural speech. That is, after taking office, in which direction he will work hard and what he will do will bring great benefits to the people of Hong Kong. All the talk about benefits and such is bullshit.

Allen was spinning the pen in his hand idly, and suddenly he felt a line of sight behind him, as if it had been looking at him. This kind of substantial gaze felt very strange.

He had felt this way many times along the way today, and it was nothing. He was good-looking, and he was used to being looked at twice when he went out.

But you can just take a look at it, so how can you keep staring?

Turning slightly sideways, pretending to look at Patten, Allen glanced behind him with his peripheral vision. Sitting in the back, the blond girl next to Patten's family and his wife was putting her hands on her lap with a bored look on her face. , his eyes were staring in Allen's direction.

Seeing Allen turn his face, she quickly looked away.

Allen chuckled, why is this scene so familiar?

Originally, because he didn't particularly like to see Patten, Allen basically didn't communicate with him along the way. As for his family, it was even less likely that they would have any communication. That is, they only met briefly when they were on the yacht today. After meeting, Allen didn't say much, just nodded to them and that was it.

Unexpectedly, his daughter has been staring at him now, which is a bit interesting.

"Your Excellency, we will have a dinner later."

Sir Hodder accompanied Alan, and after the inauguration ceremony, the two stood in a corner of the stage chatting.

Originally, we set off from the pier at three o'clock at this time. After we passed the pier and the military parade ended, it was almost almost five o'clock. The inauguration ceremony was held at this time. Now it ends at around six o'clock in the evening, almost seven o'clock. Later, there will be an internal banquet in the hotel that has been booked. Patten will invite some local dignitaries and wealthy businessmen to sit down and chat together.

For other people to have such a gathering, there would be no need to persuade them at all. As long as they are invited, they will definitely attend the banquet.

But the gentleman in front of me is not taking the usual path!

Sir Hodder had to coax him in a low voice.

"I'm not going. It's boring to chat with you guys. I'm going back first!"

Allen twisted his neck with an indifferent expression, which made Sir Hod have a toothache.

There is no way. Now that the inauguration ceremony is over, in the status comparison, the status gap between the two is too big. Facing a big noble from the local area, Sir Hodder, even if he is the chief secretary or a knight, But it's of no use.

Didn't you see that Patten was hiding aside?

"Well, okay, I'll arrange a car to take you back. However, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the Governor will invite you to attend the small event tomorrow."

"Well, I will go there tomorrow. That's it. Go and ask my servant to come over."

Allen waved his hand to Sir Hodder like a servant, asking him to call his driver and bodyguard to pick him up.

This time, the character he set for himself was that he was bad-tempered, reckless, and very arrogant. Now, where would he go to an ordinary banquet?

Is it so easy for those local wealthy businessmen to want to meet Mr. Allen?

What are your identities?

At around nine o'clock in the evening, after eating at home, Allen was lying on the deck chair on the balcony, holding a magazine in his hand and reading it seriously.

This was one of his favorite magazines in the past few years. In the past, it was not easy to buy at sea. If he occasionally wanted to read it, he would ask other colleagues to bring him some from Xiangjiang.

Although this magazine was only founded in 1984, the quality of the magazine was not very high in the early days, but later on the magazine seemed to be enlightened, and the magazine became better and better, and the selection of models became more and more professional. The poses used in the photo shoot also fit well with Allen’s aesthetic.

It’s not about how good this magazine was, but the magazine that dominated the ship at that time was his family’s “Sailor’s Happy Days”. There would be no harm if there was no comparison. In the magazine at home, the models were generally in their forties, Some are fifty years younger.

Even readers who like mature women may find it a bit overwhelming after reading too much.

When reading this kind of magazine, what you want is to have your blood pumping, ready to move, then move on your own, and finally be freed.

But after watching "Happy Days of Sailors", I felt like I hadn't watched it yet, I wanted to be a little bit horny, but I didn't feel that the desire was that big.

This is a bit painful.

In this case, by chance, Allen stopped at a West African port for supplies. On the dock, Allen found a boss selling used books. He said that he had fresh gadgets from the East in his hands.

Then

At that time, Allen bought several copies of Xiangjiang's magazine - "Dragon Tiger Leopard".

Although the models here claim to be all Hong Kong girls, they are actually Thai girls whose features are not so obvious. But even this makes Allen, who is tired of seeing old women in magazines at home, very happy.

Unexpectedly, on the way back today, I accidentally saw someone selling this at a roadside newsstand. Allen was quite moved and asked someone to buy a few copies and let him study it carefully. What this magazine is doing now how's it going.

I just took a look and there is indeed progress!

In the past, the feature of this book was that in addition to high-definition pictures, there were also many special columns.

For example, an adaptation of a popular song.

It is the most popular song on the market now, and then a new set of pornographic lyrics is released. Readers can just sing it by themselves, which has a strong sense of interaction.

What Allen loves most is another session, the story session!

It's just a little pornographic article.

This kind of writing, how should I put it, is not easy to describe. There are many types, including science fiction, supernatural, martial arts, etc.

It’s not straight porn, but it has a strong story-telling. Some of the manuscripts, even after reading them, I can still think about while being tough. There is a bit of porn that is serious, and the seriousness is also a little thought-provoking. It is definitely entertaining and educational. Happy ceiling.

Allen has loved studying since he was a child. Now that he is abroad, he is very lonely. When he sees this kind of article, he feels very kind. Although, limited by traditional Chinese characters and some Cantonese entries, some passages are a bit confusing. I understand, but even a vague guesser can probably understand it.

In today's magazine, there is a short story about a "seed" doll. The protagonist is a street boy who is bullied outside. His colleagues at work also look down on him, and he has no money.

so.

He bought a rubber doll and used it to solve problems every day when he got home from get off work.

Then something magical happened.

This doll has absorbed so much essence that it is alive!

It still feels like a bit of a superpower.

Every night the male protagonist confides in his doll, saying that a certain colleague is so annoying. After the male protagonist goes to work the next day, the doll will quietly transform and go out, and then something happens to that colleague, either dead or seriously injured.

Later, the male protagonist finally discovered the strange phenomenon of the doll. The two looked at each other and the truth was revealed. Then the doll took the male protagonist to make money through various sideways and lived a good life.

When the male protagonist has money, of course he needs to find a real girlfriend

After he got a girlfriend, he naturally lost interest in the doll, and the doll

Because it has not absorbed new energy for a long time, it eventually degraded.

The man lost his baby, his career plummeted, and finally his girlfriend left him, and he returned to a worse state than before, and the baby...

It's still the same doll, and it will never change again.

Tears of regret flow uncontrollably.

"Do you understand?"

Allen was still immersed in this pornographic novel and couldn't extricate himself. A sudden voice from behind startled him.

Smashing her mouth, she glanced at the black and white picture in the magazine with some aftertaste. The doll was drawn in a modern Hong Kong style, with long legs, and the size of each part was extremely exaggerated.

"I have learned some Chinese and can understand it a little bit. How about you help me translate it?"

After closing the book, Allen even felt a little emotional in his heart, what does this little pornographic article tell people?

When you have money, don’t forget your roots. When you have money, you must leave yourself a way out. When you have money, don’t spend it all on women!

Allen deeply believed that this was a real fucking literary work that was both educational and entertaining!

He reached out to hold Li Zhi in his arms, and he gently threw the magazine in his hand onto the small coffee table next to him.

Sometimes, you can’t always trust the book

When you are really rich to a certain extent, you still have to find a girlfriend. After all, a doll is a doll, so it doesn’t matter!

On the second day after Patten officially took office, he invited Allen to visit the Boy Scout camp.

This invitation is the invitation Sir Hodder told Allen last night.

Tai Tam Scout Centre.

This is a camp located in the Tai Tam Valley of Xiangjiang and an event venue.

The reason why the location was chosen here is, firstly, because the environment here is good, and Patten knew that Alan didn't like high-rise buildings very much.

The next day, he is about to take over the position of general leader of the Hong Kong Scouts.

Every governor of Hong Kong will automatically accept this position.

As for the Scouts, they do not exist in the inland areas of China. They only exist in Xiangjiang and Bend provinces. It is probably an organization similar to it. China has the Young Pioneers, which is almost the same in nature.

It's just that the Scout activities in Xiangjiang are relatively rich, and all kinds of education must start from young children.

Allen had never been exposed to this kind of thing before, but when he came to this camp for the first time, he saw that the scenery was really nice. He felt that this thing was a bit like the summer camp where children attended the elementary school in Little Daying.

A child in Yishui, wearing a small military uniform, playing games.

"Haha, have you never been exposed to this before?"

Sir Hodder took Allen and stood under the umbrella from a distance, watching Patten speaking to a group of little carrot heads.

"No contact."

Although the scene looked happy, Allen always felt that these people were not well-intentioned.

This thing. If we start instilling certain ideas in children from the time they are young, will it be okay in the long run?

No wonder Patten came here the next day after taking office. His purpose was very clear!
