Chapter 36 The Queen Drains Me
It may be that he really liked He Xiao's "free" aid project in Zhaguo. The Tulip Queen Christina II gave the new Duke Hawke enough face, and even sent a royal private jet to pick him up.

He Xiao's side was not too shabby either, not only did he bring twelve bodyguards, but also dozens of entourages including the Andres, Old Peter, etc.

The duke's platoon can't be less.

After arriving in Amnesty, the queen's uncle, Prince Ghent, greeted her at the airport in person, and then settled in the Royal Hotel in Amnesty, which may be the most luxurious hotel of Blue Star, which has always only accepted the queen's distinguished guests.

In the Tulip Kingdom, knighthoods are not very common. Since 1875, the kingdom has strictly restricted the granting of knighthoods, especially the granting of hereditary titles. Therefore, there are only a few hereditary titles like the Duke of Hawke at present. There are only a hundred, and there are only 9 dukes. The Duke of Hawke may be the most special one among them, and the only one whose territory is overseas.

The Duke of Hawke was originally a knighthood of the former suzerain state of Pu, but during the Second Blue Star War, the then Duke of Hawke firmly stood on the anti-Pu side for reasons of faith, and gave all his property to aid the Allies. As a base (it was not called Hawke Island but Spectacle Island at the time...), it assisted the Allied Forces in leveling the Prussian stronghold in the Eastern Ocean. After the war, the King of Prussia was forced to abdicate, and Hawke Island became an overseas territory. It was entrusted by the Tulip Kingdom, and the Duke of Hawke was able to retain it, accepting the canonization of the Queen Tulip, and the territory was changed from Hawke County in Puguo to Hawke Island overseas...

It was at this time that He Xiao's grandfather, as the partner of Duke Hawke, saved Duke Hawke's life many times during the war, which allowed He Xiao to obtain the right of succession to Duke Hawke.

Naturally, He Xiao made up this story. At that time, he made it up in as complicated a way as possible to disturb people's attention. In fact, it would be a bit ridiculous in the eyes of people with more historical knowledge, but now it is a fact that actually happened.

No one will question the facts.

It is precisely because of the particularity of the Duke of Hawke, and the fact that the previous Duke of Hawke and several congressmen used to be the traffic code of the media, so He Xiao came to accept the canonization this time, which naturally caused a great sensation.

Countless media tried to interview him, but he refused. This is not abnormal. The nobles of the Tulip Kingdom have always advocated low-key humility, rarely accepting media interviews, and rarely appearing on social media.

But the next day's news paper still showed his figure, but it was wrapped so tightly that his face could not be seen.

The canonization ceremony was held at the Beatrix Palace where Christina II, the Tulip Queen, lived. Accompanied by Roger Andre and others, He Xiao went to the Beatrix Palace to accept the canonization ceremony.

This is also the first time that He Xiao saw Christina II. She looks only in her twenties, with a natural red hair unique to the royal family, with a beautiful face and an unparalleled temperament in the world.

The most dazzling is her graceful tiara, which is said to be inlaid with 2800 small diamonds and the famous "Zar Star" diamond weighing 105 carats.

According to the process, the canonization ceremony requires speeches, demonstrations, canonization, salute and other links.

During the canonization ceremony, the young queen stood on the steps, held a sword, and tapped He Xiao on the shoulder with it.Under the steps, He Xiao "knelt on one knee" to accept the canonization.

I don't know who it is, but I put a small chair on the ground intimately, so it is said to be kneeling on one knee, but in fact it is just putting one knee on the small chair, it is not really kneeling... [Note, this is true There are photos on the Internet]

It is said that a few years ago, some congressmen attacked the kneeling ceremony of the canonization and award ceremony, which was a symbol of inequality, so the royal family made improvements.

They finally did a good job.

After the ceremony, the two sides had a friendly chat.

The two sides first started with the old Duke Hawke. Christina II recalled that when she was a child, every time the old Duke Hawke came to Beatrix Palace, he would always bring her some special small gifts, such as Parrots or shells, and tell her stories about all the overseas territories of Tulip Country.

Then she talked about the previous Hawk Island Umbrella company's free aid project for Zha country's smartphones. The queen spoke highly of it, calling it "a model of friendship and mutual assistance among the countries of the Tulip Federation", and praised He Xiao as a " A gentleman of integrity and compassion."

He Xiao took this opportunity to introduce the basic situation of Umbrella Technology Company to Her Majesty the Queen, including the overseas construction of coconut milk production plants, and the research and development project of seawater desalination semi-permeable membranes...

The queen is very interested in this, and said that there are many coconut-producing countries in the Tulip Federation. I hope that Umbrella can give priority to these federal countries to build factories, especially the backward countries like Zha. Then the Tulip Federation also has some desert countries. If the sea water The development of desalination technology is also great news for these federal countries.

Then the two sides talked about the bronze globes. According to the "Cultural Relics Protection Law" of the Tulip Kingdom, these bronze globes should belong to the Duke himself. The island does not have the ability to protect the most precious and research-worthy cultural relics of Blue Star. The "Cultural Protection Law" also stipulates that the lords of overseas territories can entrust the suzerain country to manage and protect their cultural relics.

He Xiao said that it can be considered.

Anyway, it has already been rented out, and I don’t want to come back if I want to, and I don’t want to come back.

It's better to sell the favor of the suzerain country. As for whether the suzerain country can get it back and how much it can get back, it's none of his business.

He took the opportunity to make a request to the Queen, saying that safety is a serious problem for the Umbrella company to build factories in Zha and other countries, and he hoped that the suzerain country would provide support, such as asking the Sixth Bureau to help train some special talents...

The queen expressed her personal support in principle. It is the queen's and official duty to protect all the people of the kingdom, but it is up to Prime Minister Van Boguis to decide.

He Xiao knew that she could only say this, because according to the provisions of the Tulip Kingdom Magna Carta, the queen cannot express formal opinions on such matters, but usually as long as she has this wish, the prime minister will probably give her face. If you make a fuss, it depends on the mood of the Prime Minister.

Originally, Prime Minister Van Boguis should have been present at today's Duke Conferment Ceremony, even for a few seconds, but he did not come.

Obviously he is not a generous person, or he is still afraid of domestic decolonization groups.

But He Xiao didn't care.
