England 1986

Chapter 280 Awards
In Raymond's mind, information about Alan instantly came to mind. Although these information were only fragments of information circulated because of last year's lace news, but thinking about that Excellency, it is said that he is not particularly good-tempered, but very irritable. Vicious.

If he took someone with him and tied him up on a whim in the name of making a movie, then he suddenly made trouble.

Think of all these conspiracies
Seeing Governor Raymond suddenly sullen and silent, Cameron and Patrice looked at each other in a daze, not understanding what was going on.

Why did the atmosphere suddenly become cold while chatting?

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

"Well, it's about filming."

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

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

All the worries are based on some instincts. In his opinion, if all these people are put in, it will be like a mouse falling into a rice vat, so they can do whatever they want?

Although Canada is now in a state of obedience and disobedience, they are still a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, and the nominal monarch is still the queen.

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

What if the Earl of Allen, or his "actors" have some accidents during filming in Canada, such as bullying ordinary people or something?
Not to mention their high quality, there are more than 1000 strong guys, all in their 30s and [-]s, and they are in their prime. If they are filming here for a few months, it is inevitable that there will be no problems!

Who is to blame if something goes wrong?
Want to arrest someone?
Don't even think about it, he is an aristocrat, he can't be arrested at all, and even their policemen are not even qualified to question him. At most, he will send that gentleman back. When he goes back, nothing will happen.

As for the manpower he brought, what if your Excellency is a protector and insists that these people are all servants in his family?

The servants of the nobles are not easily caught. They make mistakes and ask the nobles behind them to take care of them.

As for what to do?
Raymond can think with his heels, nothing more than to let them go back to Wales, and then it's over.
In the current situation, the front is afraid of wolves and the back is afraid of tigers, and both sides are afraid.

Just say that they are not allowed to make movies, and there is no good reason, so we can't make things clear, can we?
Patrice looked at Governor Raymond hesitant to speak, and he couldn't understand why the governor was so kind just now, but now he looked like he was dying.

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

With the purpose of probing, Patrice casually probing.

"No, no, no, Mr. Patrice, you know, the Governor General of Canada. Personally, I don't care about the work in this area. I am mainly responsible for some publicity and charity matters. Or you go May I ask the Prime Minister again?"

"???"

After saying this, Patrice saw it.

This Governor Raymond, for some reason, had a good talk just now, and now he has been sent to the Prime Minister.

Everyone understands the truth. Although Governor Raymond is not an aristocrat, he is the Governor. For the sake of being the Governor, Allen asked Patrice to look for it. Now if they are asked to go to the Prime Minister again, what is the matter? Son?
Patrice squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Governor Raymond with an embarrassed look on his face, but his eyes revealed a look of refusal from people thousands of miles away.

"Okay, that's really taking the liberty of disturbing Governor Raymond, so let's take our leave today."

After saying this, Patrice stood up and gave Cameron a bewildered look with his eyes, and the two walked decisively.

Since the other party is so resistant and doesn't know the reason, why are you still talking about it?
"What's the matter? Isn't it a good talk?"

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

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

Patrice was also a little confused. This inexplicable refusal made him very upset. Just as he said the rant, he remembered that Cameron was also Canadian, so he quickly added: "I'm only talking about some Canadians." , this certainly doesn’t include you.”

Cameron nodded subconsciously, and while driving, recalled what happened just now, and subconsciously said to himself: "You said. Could it be that he thinks we have too many people coming this time?"

"Huh? Not so much?"

Patrice didn't think about it at all. Hollywood has a lot of big crews, and it's not like there are hundreds of crews. Their crew of thousands of people this time is more than Hollywood's crew of hundreds of people. just a little bit more
What's all the fuss about.

"Hey" Cameron sighed, and finally went back to Canada to do business, and now the business has not been completed, and he is a little sad.

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

"No, book a ticket and let's go to Los Angeles."

Patrice denied Cameron's idea, what to do, they just showed that they are not welcome, why bother to check their faces, what about him?
"To Los Angeles?"

"The young master gave me two tasks. The first one is to come over to discuss cooperation with the Governor of Canada, and the second one is about props. Now we have failed the first one, so we can only go to the second one first. "

Patrice shrugged and looked at Cameron helplessly.

"Well, that can only be done."

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

Bobby Robson followed Alan cautiously like a little follower.

The two haven't seen each other for several months. This is the first time the two have met since the end of the World Cup last year.

In last year's World Cup, England also achieved the best results in history in recent decades, and it deserves the rewards it deserves.

Theoretically speaking, this award has come too late, it should have been awarded at the end of last year.

However, there were a lot of special circumstances last year, and after the credit was reported, all parties had to review and adjust it. In the end, there was a slight delay, and the award at the end of the year could not be scheduled. It could only be awarded along with the Queen's birthday at the beginning of this year.

"Your Excellency, have you come here often before?"

Looking at Allen who was walking in front, Bobby Robson asked softly. Since he entered Windsor Castle, he felt that his eyesight was not enough, and he was surprised to see everything.

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

The castle complex located on the south bank of the Thames was originally established to protect the ships on the Thames and protect the royal family.

Compared with other palaces, the living environment at Windsor Castle is a little bit worse. Not far from there is Heathrow International Airport. There are so many planes taking off and landing every day, and the noise is very loud.

Boss Cha dislikes Windsor Castle very much.

But all this is not a problem for Bobby Robson who is here for the first time!

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

He mainly hates being so close to the old lady. Fortunately, although the old lady will attend the award ceremony in person today, the one who will actually be awarded the honor is Boss Cha, who works for her, and the queen will only watch from the sidelines.

Walking to the door of the Honorary Hall, Allen stopped and whispered, "Go to the line first, someone will come to meet you later."

There are many people awarded honors here today, but the medals they award are not the same. The whole process will be awarded in order according to their status.

Allen himself certainly didn't have to wait in line. Here today, among those waiting to be awarded, he has the highest status, of course he is the first in line!
I tidied up my naval officer uniform. The dark blue military uniform did not have a military rank, but only a golden royal aide-de-camp badge on the right shoulder. Thinking that I will have my first medal, Alan is still a little bit excited.

At present, Boss Cha has not disclosed his medal today, saying that it is a small surprise for him.

Aristocrats like them, in addition to the medals they have won will be announced, the medals they have won for their specific contributions will not be announced to the public, and only specific people can view them.

It's also a tradition to keep it secret to the outside world, otherwise, how would you announce the large row of medals hanging on Boss Cha's chest?

He is a badge of honor, he made a gross contribution, just like Alan is now, following the team to participate in a World Cup, basically did not contribute much, and he was able to be gold-plated smoothly. To get the medal, Allen, the representative of the royal family who led the team, and the team's head coach Bobby Robson, as for the players?
Sorry for not having them.

Although it was those players who really played hard, the cruel reality is that they were only praised by the media once, and the rest was gone.

And the medal that Allen won this time must be better than the medal that Bobby Robson could get.

With a roll call, Allen heard his name, and two guards wearing bearskin caps solemnly opened the double doors of the hall of honor.

I don't know where the solemn and low-pitched music came from. Allen tightened his collar nervously, stepped on the red carpet, and slowly walked into the award hall.

In the main hall, the red carpet is arranged in a T shape. At the end of the red carpet that Alan is walking on now, 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 is also wearing a military uniform with a row of medals hanging on his left chest. Seeing Alan coming in first, he raised his eyebrows at Alan, serious.

Not far behind Boss Zha's left, there are a few "civilian officials" sitting behind the desk responsible for recording.

And behind him on the right, there is still a royal servant carrying a tray.

The whole honoring hall is not big, but it is very luxurious and solemn.

The Queen was standing not far behind Boss Cha, wearing a top hat and a blue bag in her left hand. Seeing Alan coming in, the Queen gave Alan a rare hook at the corner of his mouth, as if smiling.

Seeing this, Allen quickly bent over to salute, then walked to the small stool, waiting quietly for the next step.

Along with the "civilian officials" who were in charge of recording, 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 identities, and finally mentioned that Allen led the team to participate in the World Cup in Italy last year. The England team achieved very good results, and he praised my empire.

After the long series of introductions were finished, Alan saw Boss Cha looking at him, and hurried forward with his left leg, kneeling on the small stool next to him with his right leg bent.

This is a half-kneeling ceremony, a bit like kneeling on one knee when a man proposes to a woman, but compared to kneeling on one knee, this one does not need to kneel down at all, just put the right knee on the low stool and cushion it .

It was still the same routine. Boss Zha pulled out his saber, tapped it on Alan’s left shoulder, and said some words of encouragement. This was regarded as a recognition of the contribution of Alan read by the civil servant just now. Looking at the medal on the tray, a small white flower cross with a blue band.

Seeing the style of this medal, Allen raised his brows, Boss Cha has worked hard.

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

Its 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 is also very legendary. The reason why Allen knew this medal was also because he was very impressed by the first person to receive this medal.

The medal was created in June that year, and more than a month later, Li Hongzhang, who happened to be visiting Great Britain, was awarded the medal
Li Hongzhang is an earl and is eligible to be honored.

This is a little unpopular knowledge. Allen remembered this medal by the way because he remembered Li Hongzhang.

It is quite miraculous to think that Li Zhongtang received this medal here more than 100 years ago.

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

This thing is divided into five classes.

From high to low, it is the Grand Cross, which is the one obtained by Li Hongzhang. Below this is the Grand Officer, and then down is the Commander, and then down is the Member, and the fifth rank is the medal. class.

But now, Boss Zha personally pinned the one on Alan's chest, which is the commander level, abbreviated (LVO). This means that Alan, as a representative of the royal family, led the team to participate in world competitions and made outstanding contributions.

Although Alan has been messing around all the time, this is how the medals came. Boss Cha has arranged for him. If he performs well in the future, he will slowly rise up, or if there are other medals, he will have to give the left chest sooner or later. Let's talk about the front full of medals.

"Calm down and do a good job!"

Boss Cha turned his back to the Queen, with a smile on his lips. After Allen straightened up and stood up, he patted Allen on the shoulder to encourage him. After Allen bent down again to salute, this whole set of award ceremony is considered All processes have been completed.

PS: I'm a little busy today, and I have online classes, so I'll just update it for another day.
