Chapter 38: The Order of the Golden Eagle
The Grand Hotel Philip, the most splendid building in the city of NorΓ©.
No matter what city you are in, as long as there is a Phillip Hotel chain, it must be a local landmark.
Even in Space City.
There is no other reason, the three major royal families of the Weixi Empire are the Philip family.
Prince Krubi, the current patriarch of the Philip family, has been the Prime Minister of the Empire for more than two decades. The hotel industry is just one of the businesses of the Philip family.
The Phillip Grand Hotel is located in the North City, an aristocratic ghetto.
The contrast between the splendor of the northern city and the dilapidated and filthy southern city is hard to believe that it is the same city.
Despite the tension of the war at the moment, the Phillip Hotel is still brightly lit and full of laughter. The aristocrats of the city still flock here, partying, partying, and dreaming of drunkenness.
Fight?
Isn't it an inferior thing to fight?
Aristocrats, born only to enjoy. No matter how powerful the cultivators are, there will naturally be inferior soldiers to fight with them. Not to mention anything else in the Weixi Empire, there are many worthless inferior people.
Although cities such as Mali and Uma have been in danger and have fallen, many nobles are still insensitive. In their minds, it was impossible for the cultivators to capture Norley City. As long as you hold out a little longer, reinforcements from the Empire and help from the allies will arrive.
It is not that the Vesy Empire has not experienced war.
This ancient and huge empire was born in the smoke of war.
Just enjoy it, don't worry!
Unlike other large hotels, the Phillip Hotel is an aristocratic hotel with a membership system. Even if you are an aristocrat, if you don't have Philip's membership card, the hotel will not accept you.
Exceptions are made for the first caste.
All members of the First Caste are ex-officio members.
The more you are so high-minded, the more people flock to it.
Phillip Hotel has always been a gathering of celebrities, untidy guys, who don't even dare to approach the hotel door, and if they don't do it, they will be arrested by the security guards as thieves.
Therefore, it is impossible to imagine how shocked and puzzled the doormen and security guards of the Phillip Hotel were when they saw Zhang Tianjiu and Caroline.
Of course, there is more contempt, ridicule and disdain.
You must know that even the lowest-class servants of the Phillip Hotel are all third-class castes, fourth-class castes and untouchables are absolutely not allowed to appear in the hotel, and many of the low-level foremen of the Grand Hotel are second-class small nobles.
This bald guy looks like a typical Changnan tribesman, wearing a coarse cloth military uniform that is dirty, a pair of fat coarse cloth military pants, a pair of black military shoes, and a shoddy cigar in his mouth. With an elbow on her shoulder, a female soldier ruffian who was also tall and sturdy dared to rush to the hotel with a grin.
And it's not the side door that breaks through, it's the most brilliant front door.
You must know that the main entrance of the Phillip Hotel is easily not opened, and the average member will automatically and consciously go through the side door, and only when the most high-ranking and most noble first-class caste nobles come, they will go to the main door.
Is this bald guy crazy?
"Stop!"
The doorman chief, a minor second-class nobleman, shouted harshly.
Several other doormen and two security guards not far away had already automatically swarmed over, blocking Zhang Tianjiu and Caroline's way in a semicircle, staring at them fiercely.
The security guard was already holding on to the light gun.
In such a luxurious and important place, it is impossible for security guards to use high-power lethal weapons, only electric light guns. Once hit by an electric light gun, it will not cause real damage, but it will be completely paralyzed and unable to move within fifteen minutes.
"Inferior, what are you doing?"
The doorman chief shouted unceremoniously, without the humility and politeness that a big hotel waiter should have.
What is the politeness of the aristocracy towards the fourth caste?
Even if you are a little kind, you will be laughed at by other nobles - unseemly!
"This is a hotel, right? β
Zhang Tianjiu looked up at the signboard of the hotel, and then said cautiously, with a simple smile on his face, and seemed to be a little puzzled - I am a guest, why are you stopping me?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all burst out laughing.
"Inferior people, are you in the wrong place? Open your little eyes and see clearly, this is the Phillip Hotel. Do you know how to read? Do you want me to read it to you again?"
A security guard laughed and said.
It's so funny!
This kid doesn't seem to drink much.
An older doorman seemed to have a little conscience, and estimated that these two were hillbillies entering the city, who did not understand the rules, and was afraid that they would get into trouble, so he explained on the side: "Hey, you two better go quickly, we are a noble hotel here, and we only accept nobles, and they must be noble guests with membership cards." We don't accept anyone else, go fast!"
He clearly saw that the security guard was ready to draw his gun.
Being electrocuted by this electric light gun can taste quite bad.
Even if they are not sent to the police station in the end, they are very likely to be abused by the security guards. These security guards in the hotel are cruel to inferior people. Especially the woman, who looks good and has a good figure.
"But, as far as I know, the Grand Philip Hotel also receives other people besides nobles?
Zhang Tianjiu scratched his slippery head, and his expression became more and more confused. I didn't even glance at the two security guards and the electric gun they were holding.
What a!
Caroline kept holding her bald arm, smiling at the corners of her mouth, and didn't say a word.
To tell the truth, she was also very curious in her heart, but wanted to see what the hell could this dead bald head do to take her in. As for whether she will get into trouble because of this, she doesn't care.
A person who is afraid of things cannot be a mercenary.
"Yes, in addition to the noble members, our hotel also accepts three kinds of people. The first is a state guest, the second is a famous scientist who has received an interstellar award, and the third is a battle hero who has won a silver star military merit medal or above. What kind of person do you belong to? State Guest, Scientist or Silver Star Battle Hero?"
The doorman leader said jokingly.
Everyone laughed again.
State guests and scientists, that's impossible.
Look at the virtue of this kid, he looks like a simple and stupid big man, where is the demeanor of a state guest or a famous scientist?
He's a little ruffian!
As for the battle heroes, it is also impossible!
There is an unwritten rule within the army that military merit medals above the silver star are awarded only to nobles. The Bronze Military Merit Medal can be awarded to a third-class caste soldier. As for the inferior soldiers of the fourth caste, it is considered a great honor to be able to receive an Iron Cross.
The Iron Cross, for a fourth-class caste soldier, is equivalent to the highest rank of military merit. All soldiers of the inferior rank who were awarded the Iron Cross were 100 percent promoted to the rank of officer.
Just like a bald guy, does he look like an officer?
"Well, I seem to have a medal, I don't know if it works......"
Zhang Tianjiu muttered quietly, and with great difficulty, he took out a golden thing from his pocket and sent it to the doorman foreman.
"Do you have a look, is this medal enough?"
"What is this?"
"Impossible......"
The next moment, with a strange scream, everyone froze.
Even Caroline was stunned.
Golden Eagle Medal!
What this bald guy took out turned out was a Golden Eagle Medal!
The Golden Eagle is the symbol of the Vesy Empire and the most noble national treasure animal of the Visag Empire.
The Golden Eagle Medal is the highest military merit medal of the Weixi Empire, and is only awarded to those who bravely kill the enemy on the battlefield and make immortal feats.
Neither logistics support personnel nor command personnel can receive the Golden Eagle Medal.
The Golden Eagle is awarded only to front-line combatants who kill the enemy directly.
Generally speaking, you need to single-handedly kill at least a hundred enemies in one battle to stand a chance of earning the Golden Eagle Medal.
Because the conditions for obtaining the Golden Eagle Medal are too harsh, there are no "discriminatory" regulations within the army, and whether it is a noble or inferior soldier, as long as he achieves the goal, he may be awarded the Golden Eagle Medal.
But in the conditions of modern warfare, it is rare to fight alone, let alone single-handedly kill more than a hundred enemies. If you pee on the battlefield, you may be clearly seen by the opponent's battlefield surveillance system, where will you be asked to kill a hundred enemies?
A hundred enemies will each bombard you, and you will be bombarded into scum even if you are the god of war.
Of the tens of millions of soldiers of the Weixi Empire, only a handful have won the Golden Eagle Medal, and each of them is the most dazzling star of the military. You can walk sideways anywhere in the Vesy Empire!
This bald guy actually took out the Golden Eagle Medal.
For a while, everyone didn't know what to do.
"Is this medal qualified?"
Zhang Tianjiu was still cautiously asking, looking timid and cautious.
Caroline almost burst her belly with laughter!
Feign!
Gear up!
"Enough is enough......"
The doorman foreman woke up like a dream, and suddenly, his attitude took a 180-degree turn, and he couldn't stop nodding to the two of them. Although Zhang Tianjiu is still an inferior person, with the Golden Eagle Medal, the treatment at the Phillip Hotel is equivalent to that of a member.
Every member and the hotel must provide the best quality service. Otherwise, once the customer complains, the handling will be extremely harsh.
When the foreman thought of his attitude just now, he was suddenly covered in a cold sweat.
"Sir, Madam, it is my pleasure to welcome to the Phillip Grand Hotel and to serve two distinguished guests!"
The doorman foreman bowed his waist and said respectfully.
"It has been a privilege to serve both of them. β
The other doorman security guards also bent down deeply, and their tones were very sincere.
"What kind of service do you need?"
After bowing and apologizing, the doorman foreman asked respectfully.
"I heard you have a good steak here, so I'll try it. β
Zhang Jiuye said coaxingly, looking well-informed.
Caroline pursed her lips and smiled.
"Yes, ma'am, sir, please!"
The doorman foreman became more and more respectful.
