Rebirth of England.

Chapter 807 Lively
On April 4, the British media disclosed the list of guests invited to attend the wedding of Prince William and Catherine. There are nearly 23 people, including royal family members from many parts of the world who have agreed to attend.

According to the list, the best man will be Prince William's younger brother Prince Harry, and the bridesmaid will be Kate's sister.

Of course, this list also includes Prince William's good friend, the Duke of Devonshire and Britain's richest man, Barron Cavendish.

At this time, Barron had returned to London from Australia with his wife and children.

The wedding of Prince William and Catherine will be held on April 4th, which will be the most grand wedding event in Britain in the past 29 years.

According to relevant agencies, this wedding will break the world record for the largest number of television viewers, with 20 billion viewers around the world watching the live broadcast - in 1981, when Charles and Diana got married, about 7.5 million people watched the live broadcast.

It has to be said that even though Britain's influence has been declining, the British royal family is still the most well-known and influential in the world.

Such a wedding is enough to attract the attention of the whole world to London.

After Barron and his team returned to London, they could feel that the whole of London was in a joyful atmosphere and everyone was looking forward to the grand ceremony in a few days.

On April 4, Barron brought Bonnie and their two children, George and Richard, all dressed in their best clothes to attend Prince William's wedding.

In the morning, the Queen announced that Prince William and Catherine would be knighted as Duke of Cambridge and Duchess of Cambridge respectively.

Next, the wedding officially begins...

The guests gathered in Westminster Abbey from half past eight.

At 11:1, the wedding ceremony officially began according to the traditional royal wedding ceremony of the Anglican Church of England.

Barron watched as Cather walked down the aisle in an ivory wedding gown with a blooming floral theme.

The applique lace bodice of the wedding dress uses traditional British hand-cutting techniques to perfectly combine lace flowers with ivory tulle.

She walked down the red carpet holding her father's arm and came to Prince William who was already waiting in front of the hall.

The wedding ceremony was then conducted by Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams.

"While many people are still worried about the future, today is a good day, a good day that people all over the world can share, a good day full of hope..."

The Bishop of London, Richard Chartres, gave the closing address.

The wedding ceremony ended with the singing of the British national anthem.

After the wedding, Prince William and Princess Cather, accompanied by Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth and others, rode in a carriage to Buckingham Palace. The newlyweds walked hand in hand onto the balcony of Buckingham Palace and gave the "kiss of the century" under the gaze of countless people.

The crowd cheered as the two kissed on the balcony of Buckingham Palace...

It is worth mentioning that Barron and Bonnie’s eldest son, George Cavendish, also appeared as a flower boy in this wedding.

His handsome and cute appearance also attracted a lot of shots.

……

On May 5, the third day after Prince William's wedding, President Obama held a press conference to announce to the world:

Osama bin Laden, the terrorist whom the United States had been pursuing for 10 years and was known as the "world's most wanted criminal", was killed by the U.S. Navy SEALs in Pakistan.

Soon after, some terrorist organizations in the Middle East confirmed the news and vowed to take revenge on the United States. In fact, earlier this year, Barron had received news from British intelligence that the CIA had confirmed that Bin Laden was likely hiding in Pakistan.

But his specific hiding place had not been found at that time.

Or maybe they did not inform their ally MI911 about this location - this is normal. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the "" incident. The United States has been tracking down Bin Laden for so many years, and of course they hope to completely eliminate him at this time. Even if there is accurate intelligence, it will not be leaked easily.

Ao Guanhai also hopes to increase his own prestige through this action.

You know, since 2005, the United States has increased the reward for Bin Laden to a record high of 5000 million US dollars.

In fact, by now, al-Qaeda has been almost devastated and has completely shrunk to its original size. The bounty on Bin Laden has far more symbolic significance than practical significance.

Therefore, even in his previous life, when Barron knew the specific time of the "Spear of Poseidon" operation in which the United States killed Bin Laden, he did not care much about it.

He was more concerned about something else...

On May 5, IMF Chairman Dominic Strauss-Kahn was arrested at Kennedy Airport minutes before boarding a flight to Paris on charges of sexually assaulting a maid at a hotel near Times Square.

After this incident was reported, it immediately caused a sensation around the world.

After all, as the chairman of the International Monetary Fund, Strauss-Kahn is a world-renowned figure...

He served as France's finance minister from 1997 to 1999 and was seen as the architect of France's economic recovery. The French people affectionately called him DSK (his full name is Dominique Strauss-Kahn).

He successfully reduced France's fiscal deficit, making it eligible to join the eurozone.

He was also the driving force behind the privatization of some French state-owned enterprises.

Strauss-Kahn lost his bid to become the Socialist presidential candidate in 2006, but was surprisingly nominated by his rival and eventual winner Sarkozy as a candidate for the presidency of the International Monetary Fund.

His work at the International Monetary Fund is also widely praised...

In 2008, the global financial crisis broke out, which was the second year that Strauss-Kahn took office.

The reforms under Strauss-Kahn’s leadership have brought the IMF back to the center of the global economic decision-making stage: the “Flexible Credit Arrangement” (FCL) it launched has changed the rigid and slow execution procedures of traditional loans…

During the Greek debt crisis, the IMF and the EU worked together to provide 1100 billion euros of protection for the eurozone (the IMF assumed 300 billion euros)...

In global policy coordination, the IMF has now become an important vehicle for cooperation within the Group of 20 (G20) in the international monetary cooperation system. The monetary resources held by the IMF have tripled from the stretched US$2500 billion at the beginning of the crisis to US$3 trillion.

He also pushed for emerging countries to have a greater say in the International Monetary Fund.

Although Strauss-Kahn works in Washington as the chairman of the International Monetary Fund, he often "stays" in France... People speculate that he may consider returning to politics and preparing to run in the 2012 French general election as a candidate of the Socialist Party.

That is to say, he is likely to become Sarkozy's main rival next year...

On the same day, the Wall Street Journal published a commentary saying that Strauss-Kahn's arrest would not only cause chaos in the IMF's leadership, but would also cause the IMF to lose its core position in financial rescue in Europe.

As the world's most important financial lending institution, the IMF, headquartered in Washington, the capital of the United States, is responsible for ensuring the normal operation of global finance and is known as the "central bank of the world's central banks."

The organization is now at a critical stage: on the one hand, it needs to deal with the European sovereign debt crisis and provide financial assistance to countries such as Portugal, Greece and Ireland; on the other hand, it is undergoing structural reforms such as voting rights and share transfers.
