British 1986

This kind of family heraldry pattern has not been popular in China for many years, but abroad, this kind of thing is a symbol of status.

The logos of many commercial companies evolved from this thing.

When you see this pattern, you must first look at the overall appearance

It was in the shape of a shield, with knights holding swords and armor inside, and a Western dragon-shaped mark in the background. Seeing this, Counselor Wang felt confident that this was most likely the family crest of a certain noble, and it was also a person. A nobleman whose ancestors were military generals.

Someone from a civil service background would not use a heavily armed knight as a family heraldry.

I just don’t know why such a person would write to me?

It has been two years since I came to the embassy, ​​and this is the first noble person that Counselor Wang has had formal contact with - through letters.

After opening the envelope, Counselor Wang raised his eyebrows and grinned unconsciously.

Inside the envelope was a printed letter.

What made Counselor Wang happy was nothing else but the content of the letter. To be precise, it was the words on the letter!

This letter is printed in Chinese!

This not only made him feel very friendly, but also gave him some other inexplicable feelings. For example, was this what people said about the nobles' self-cultivation? These old nobles were very polite and generous in dealing with people!

"I heard that Counselor Wang is the leader of the Chinese Embassy in Britain in charge of all business matters."

"I take the liberty to write, could you please invite Counselor Wang to meet and discuss it?"

"Alan Hill"

Counselor Wang read this very short letter twice. The content was just that simple. He pointed out his identity and invited him to meet. As for the last name

I've never heard of it, but it seems a little familiar, and I seem to have some impression of it.

After pouring the envelope in his hand, he discovered that there was a business card in the envelope.

Counselor Wang picked up the business card and only glanced at it twice before his face turned red.

"Who sent this letter!"

There are no stamps on this, so it must not have been delivered through normal mail channels. Counselor Wang looked at the secretary and asked.

"Well, a middle-aged man just delivered it to the door. He said he was the housekeeper of some house. I happened to pass by and took it."

"Tsk"

Counselor Wang felt a little blushing.

Maybe most Chinese people don't care much about this. Some people haven't even come into contact with such people in the few years they've been here, but just because they haven't come in contact with them doesn't mean they have to be ignored!

This business card is very simple. It looks like the business card of a butler named Hu Te.

But whether it is the long list of extremely "cool" special treatment on the back of the business card, or the honorific title added before the name on the front of the business card, it is proved that even the owner of this business card, the butler named Hu Te, is a knight !

Isn't it rude that a knight from far away came to deliver a message personally without even opening the door to let him in?

Thinking of this, Counselor Wang quickly stood up, walked to the window and looked down. It had been so long, but he could still see anyone downstairs.

"Xiao Li, later"

Counselor Wang didn't reprimand him. This was an emergency. The people below didn't understand this kind of thing and it was an unintentional mistake.

"In the future, we will collect the public information about these nobles, especially the family heraldry and emblems, so that everyone can take a look. Don't be like today, where people can't recognize you when they come to your door."

"ah?"

When the young man named Xiao Li heard Counselor Wang's explanation, he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Counselor Wang and waved his hand, then nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I know."

"One, two, three! Hey."

"One, two, three, hey!"

Allen folded his arms and watched several servants shouting slogans and twisting the locks on the door.

This is the main door of the basement storage room. It is about ten centimeters thick. It is made of pure steel and has excellent anti-theft effect, but it is a little difficult to open it every time.

It takes at least six people holding a crowbar to turn the latch on the door.

Allen has been to this basement once, but to him, most of the things inside are waste.

for example

There is a certain wise Earl here who stored the most valuable precious metal of the year - aluminum ingots!

When aluminum first came out, the production process was very difficult. It was once defined as a precious metal, with a value comparable to gold and silver.

After so many years, the appearance of these aluminum ingots has been severely oxidized, but the most serious thing is that these things are worthless now. It is better to keep them and sell them as cultural relics in the future.

When several servants finally opened the door, Allen waved his hand and stood a step to the side, feeling a blast of cold air coming from the storage room.

This is not an ordinary cellar, but a fully equipped storage room that can even be used as an air raid shelter during wartime!

When you open the door, you can see a naval gun placed directly opposite the door at first glance!

Although the caliber of this kind of machine gun is not large, it can be used on land, especially if it goes straight to the gate. There is such a small space, let alone people, and even if an elephant comes, bulletproof vests and the like can be used. Don't even think about it. If this thing hits the body, it can break the person directly, instead of simply beating him to death.

After bypassing the naval gun that the old count had picked up from a retired warship, Allen walked in with his hands behind his back.

Although the cold light above the head is not very bright, it is enough to see everything in the room clearly.

He came in today to look for some old objects as gifts.

These are old items that he didn’t sell even during the most difficult times!

Following the directions in his memory, he came to a storage room where sundries were kept, and waved to the servants following him to open the door.

These small doors are simple and not as difficult to open as the outermost door.

He reached out and picked up the box placed on the shelf, gently blew the dust off it, and looked at the thing in his hand, Allen smiled.

This thing is not considered an antique, it is a modern product.

But it is very rare, and will become even rarer as time goes by.

Moreover, if this thing is valuable, it is not too valuable. The commemorative significance is greater than the actual value of the item.

Opening the box, I saw a small leather bag the size of a palm inside.

Opening the metal zipper finally revealed the contents of the leather bag.

A small camera that is only the size of a cigarette box and made of all metal with original metallic colors!

Konan-16 Automat miniature camera made in Japan.

In terms of technology, this thing was considered very advanced at the time. Because this camera was compact and fully mechanical, it was even called a spy machine at the time.

But until now, the biggest highlight of this camera is not the camera itself, but the engraved text on the back of the camera.

"Made in the defeated island country"

Translated is a string of English with this meaning.

It is a small camera that is very shameful to islanders and very memorable to outsiders.

At that time, due to some reasons, the Americans strongly demanded that goods exported by the island country must be printed with such eye-catching and insulting words.

When I think of Counselor Wang, who is said to be quite fond of photography, giving him this camera with special commemorative significance, wouldn’t this human relationship become closer in an instant?
