England 1986

Chapter 240 Closing of the House of Lords

"I haven't seen him recently. I heard from Thomas that Rex seems to be busy distributing the Koreans caught at the beginning of the year?"

Huth thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember any reports from Rex recently, so he had to briefly talk about some of the things he knew.

"Um"

For those Koreans, Alan doesn't care too much, so let's close it and consume it slowly.

It's sad to say that hundreds of people were arrested, but not even a splash came out.

Although there are also factors that Rex and the others are ruthless, fast, and clean.

but.
No one cares about other places!
Even when Li Jianxi came over last time, they only cared about their business. As for these Koreans, no one cared.

When Rex first started, he was still happy to catch so many Koreans.

These are all achievements!

It's all about the detection rate.

But after being locked up for a while, he felt some liver pain.

Hundreds of people need to eat and drink, he can't afford it
There is no way, other than using it as favors for police stations in other places, they can only occasionally arrange some jobs they can do to generate income. Rex has even arranged for his men to go to a private prison in the United States to learn from them.

He is going to learn from the advanced experience of the Yankees and make full use of these people. It is impossible to let them go!

The destroyer Cardiff, which was decommissioned and sealed up and did not meet the requirements, has already had most of its weapon systems removed by the shipyard.

Then measure the accurate data of the hull, and then design a preliminary renovation plan based on the current carrying capacity of the hull.

Allen is holding this plan now.

Of course, he can't understand these too professional things. What he cares most about is what kind of effect the ship can achieve after remodeling, how much supplies it can carry, how many people it can carry, what functions it has, whether it looks good or not, and finally What matters is how much it costs.

Turn to the final summary first, the total cost is estimated to be around 500 million pounds.

This is just a preliminary expectation, just like people quote lower prices when buying a car, and then after you look at the car, you want to add this or that.

Finally, it has been added, but it is not the original quotation.

I took a look at the design drawing of the yacht, because of the dismantling of the weapon system, in theory, except for the front control room, the buildings on the deck, such as radars and weapon racks, can be dismantled. The change of the ship is much bigger.

What Allen wants is not to lag behind in appearance for at least 30 to [-] years.

What should I do if I want to meet such a requirement?
I can only do it in science fiction. If you want not to lag behind, you have to advance!
Once in advance, it looks very sci-fi.

Like the stealth warships that will come in the future, Allen wants the superstructure to be streamlined. It is best to make it all connected from the cockpit to the end, which looks like a large shuttle. Same at sea.

This shape is very easy to achieve, and apart from this, the most important thing is the internal design.

Many compartments such as arsenals that should have been filled with ammunition were vacated, and these places can be modified.

The entire hull will be refitted with a large landing hatch on the side, which will then be set up as a garage inside the hull.

After the yacht docks, the car can be driven out directly from the hatch on the side of the hull. The garage has two floors, and it is estimated that it can store 6 to 12 ordinary cars.

This is a small fleet configuration.

On the other side of the ship, there is also an internal cabin and supporting lifting equipment.

There is a small boat, a small viewing submarine, and several jet skis placed inside.

For the sake of symmetry, the entire middle part of the hull is designed like this.

The front of the bow is less stable than the stern. In addition to the wheelhouse, there is a huge warehouse below, as well as kitchens, servants’ rooms and other configurations.

The rear of the hull is where Allen lives. There is a helipad on the deck, and a small hangar is connected below it, which can accommodate a general-purpose medium-sized helicopter on the market.

The original radar station on the deck of the apron was changed into a large swimming pool. The second-floor banquet hall is connected to the swimming pool, where guests can entertain guests and watch the surrounding sea view by the way.

The first floor below the deck is the guest's room, which is equipped with a total of twelve standard business rooms, with single rooms, toilets, and bathrooms.

And the second floor is Alan's own room, four large business suites, which can be decorated into rooms of different countries according to the decoration style you like.

On the third floor, there are [-] small double suites for bodyguards and servants.

At the bottom are two small warehouses, one of which is the ammunition depot connected to the automatic defense system, and the other can be used as a small wine storage or other small warehouse.

Because the required comfort and specifications are relatively high, after the ship is refitted, the number of people it can carry will decrease. In addition to the power crew, servants and bodyguards can only carry more than 100 people. place to live.

However, if Allen is the only one to play by himself, with more than 100 people and a whole ship of supplies, he can play for a month and a half without stopping at sea!
If you are bored at sea, you can take a small sightseeing submarine to play in the sea for a while, or you can take a transfer helicopter and find a nearby city to play and have a rest.

It is also possible to dock temporarily and take a convoy to go deep into the inland of the port.

In other words, as long as this super yacht is built, Allen will be equivalent to having another super luxurious manor floating on the sea.

Looking at the plan with satisfaction, Allen nodded. He is not the kind of thorny Party A's father, and he doesn't want to show his ignorance to give orders.

As long as the design is done according to the requirements given by him, and now the information is clearly explained with pictures, then this plan will be fine, and start working immediately!
Pull the rattle for Hoot.

"You can reply to them about this plan, just follow this, how long will it take? Did they say it?"

Since many Allen did not confirm the soft decoration, the shipyard did not give a specific renovation cycle.

"It will take about a year and a half. That is to say, from now on, young master, you will be able to see this yacht in 91. When the outfitting and soft decoration are all completed, it will be around the end of 91 or 92." It's the beginning of the year."

Well, that's two years, which is much shorter than the three-to-four-year cycle of building a new one.

Of course, it must be very long compared with the waiting period of a car for several months, but it is not comparable at all.

How big is a car? This yacht is 120 meters long. No car can compare to it, not even a luxury plane!

"Okay, that's it, give them a part of the money first, and start working!"

Allen signed his name and permission on the information, and finally stamped his personal seal. This means that the plan has passed, and the rest will wait for the financial department to send money to the shipyard.

Friday, July 1989, 12.

The parliament is about to close. From tomorrow, the aristocratic gentlemen of the House of Lords, who have worked hard for a year, can enter the holiday.

Allen pretended to enter the hall with Angus, and saw a middle-aged man who looked very similar to Boss Cha from a distance.

"Haha, hello Your Highness Kent, it's a pleasure to meet you."

As soon as Allen's eyes met Kent's, Kent smiled and extended his hand to greet him. Allen quickly trotted two steps, and offered to shake hands with the Duke of Kent.

Although both this and Angus are dukes.

But their dukes are fundamentally different.

It is true that the Duke of Angus is hereditary, but the Duke of Kent belongs to the clan, members of the royal family.

So in terms of address, you have to call your Highness, and you will be treated like a prince!
Even the current William and Harry, although they are considered princes, their real titles are also dukes. When outsiders address them, they have to be called "Little Highness" to show respect. This is the treatment of the royal family.

"Oh?! Isn't this Alan? I always hear Angus mentioning you."

The Duke of Kent patted Alan's outstretched hands away, and gave Alan a hug.

The movement of the two of them was a bit big, which attracted the attention of many noble councilors around them.

Some people looked at Kent, the Earl of Carmarthen opposite him, and the Duke of Angus who was following Allen.

this guy
The three prodigal sons got together!

Are you guys engaging in a combination of the House of Lords?
The Prodigal Sons?
Today is the closing of the Congress, so don't make any fools. Last year, there was a proposal to raise tariffs.

"Sure enough, you are a good-looking talent. I, Daying, need fresh blood like you. You have the demeanor of my youth!"

The Duke of Kent brazenly praised Alan, and by the way put gold on his face.

Allen twitched his face, and slightly distanced himself from the Duke of Kent.

It was so enthusiastic that he panicked.

But later in the House of Lords, with the Duke of Kent as an old acquaintance, he can speak harder.

Allen came here today for nothing else.

As a current aristocratic member of the House of Lords, you can't even attend one meeting a year, right?

It would be somewhat troublesome if someone picked on this, so Allen came here in a hurry for the last meeting, pretending.

In his understanding, the House of Lords comes to submit proposals when there is something to do, and not to come when there is nothing to do.

Even if today is the closing ceremony, there are still many vacant seats around, because some noble councilors did not come.

Before the meeting started, the enthusiastic Duke of Kent pulled Allen and Angus. The three of them were like three brothers. They stood in the aisle next to the middle seat of the venue, and they did not shy away from chatting. .

The Duke of Kent smiled very proudly, always attracting the eyes of the surroundings to look at him frequently.

He can only find the sense of presence in the House of Lords, and he enjoys the sense of decay surrounded by nobles.

Originally, Kent was going to pull Allen to sit next to him in the first row, but Allen refused decisively.

Sitting in the first row is against the rules!

He didn't want to move forward, so he went straight to the fourth row, and next to an old curly, Allen found the place where his nameplate was written.

There was a large golden wooden seat with a layer of cotton pads on it, and Alan twisted his buttocks.

When he came to the House of Lords last time, he was not yet old, so he could only shrink to the end. Now
Master Allen is also sitting in the fourth row of the core area.

He took out a thermos cup from his pocket and put it on the table.

The old curly-haired man next to him looked at the young earl in shock. His pockets seemed to be magical. Garbage bags, melon seeds, and desserts were all taken out and placed on the small table in front of him.

This is for a meeting?

This is the House of Lords?
At this moment, the old curly hair looked at Alan eating melon seeds, a little suspicious of life.

Sensing the gaze from the side, Allen turned his head and gave the old curly-haired stranger a hard look.

Anyone who can sit in this row is an earl, but as long as he is an earl, he is not afraid of any of them, they are all cowards!
The closing ceremony of the House of Lords, that is to say, to talk about the scene, to summarize the achievements of the year, whether it is the opening ceremony or the closing ceremony, the royal family will send people.

Sometimes even the queen herself comes.

But as long as the Queen comes in person, all noble councilors must be present.

Just looking at the vacancies available today, I know that it must not be the queen, and it is estimated that there is a high probability that Boss Cha will come.

Sure enough, as time passed, the venue gradually quieted down. Boss Zha came out first, followed by Thatcher.

Allen almost laughed when he saw Thatcher in a navy blue dress, especially her signature hairstyle.

I don't know what she's doing here today.

As Boss Zha came to the stage to make a summary first, Alan just wanted to doze off after listening to the long speech.

He was only a few meters away from Boss Cha, and he could see very clearly. He didn't even dare to eat, so he could only sit and listen awkwardly.

After finally waiting for Boss Zha to finish speaking, there was sparse applause from the audience.

Some people don't like him, so they definitely don't applaud, but Allen should be a good babysitter, and he applauds the most.

Before Boss Cha stepped down from the stage, he took a special look at Allen, with a blank expression on his face, and he didn't know what it meant.

Immediately after Boss Cha went down, it was Thatcher's turn to speak on stage.

On the small lecture table, he put the speech on the table very domineeringly, and grabbed the sides of the table with both hands. Thatcher glanced at it and met Alan's eyes.

Looking at Thatcher who was stunned after seeing him obviously, Allen smiled at the corner of his mouth. Before Thatcher was about to give a speech, he raised his right hand, and then stood up without waiting for others to agree.

"Cough cough!"

After clearing his throat and tidying up the hem of his clothes, Allen said with a half-smile, "Ma'am. You didn't seem to salute after you came on stage?"

"???"

Thatcher was stunned, she just came to make a speech, just nodded and signaled. There are so many people in the audience, what kind of courtesy does she have?

But Allen was upset seeing her today, pretending to be two to five to eighty thousand, with whom to pretend?

I don't even look at the place, this is the House of Lords, where do you think this is?

"This Ms. Maggie? I need to remind you, I don't care what your current position is, but this is the House of Lords, and if I remember correctly, you don't seem to have a knighthood now, right? As a top student at Oxford University , Didn't your teacher teach you etiquette?"

"."

As soon as Allen's voice fell, the audience became quiet in an instant. Even Boss Cha, who had gone far away, stopped, pretending to tidy up his clothes, and prepared to eat melons.

The House of Lords has been going on for so long, and no one has directly accused the speaker so openly.
