I don't know how Sir James communicated with the British cabinet and the royal family, and when Zhuo Fei was already hopeless, Sir James, who had disappeared for a week, flew to the umbrella base in Western Australia to visit Zhuo Fei again. "Zhuo, according to your Chinese habits, I think you should prepare a gift to thank me." Sir James's words made the eyes of everyone present light up, could it be that Zhuo Fei's request was approved by the British royal family?

"Zhuo, I have to say that you are a lucky guy, and you are actually very good at making requests. The British Empire is anxious to get the support of the umbrella, and after economic negotiations between the Cabinet and the Royal Family, the British Imperial Family has decided to grant you the title of Duke, but the specific award ceremony may not be until the British Empire gets rid of this damn war. In the eyes of an old aristocrat like Sir James, even if he received a knighthood without a grand investiture ceremony, it would be unjustifiable.

It's a pity that Sir James underestimated Zhuo Fei's cheekiness, knowing that the British wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to control themselves, so Zhuo Fei did not choose to respond to Sir James's regret, but showed a very happy expression. "Dear Sir Sir, I just want to know if your British royal family has agreed to give me the title of duke?" Obtaining a knighthood recognized by the British royal family is crucial to the future development of the umbrella in Australia, and if used properly, the duke's name can even be brought to the Arabian Peninsula to show off.

"Zhuo, of course, I mean the royal family has agreed to grant you the title of duke." Sir James's eyes showed a hint of jealousy and helplessness, when will the title of the British Empire be so worthless. Although Britain is currently seeking the umbrella company, in the eyes of Sir James, Zhuo Fei, who owns the umbrella company and wields absolute force, is just a civilian, and he is also a Chinese. The dukedom, the number one of all non-royal titles in Britain, was awarded to a Chinese commoner, which is somewhat unbelievable to an old British aristocrat like Sir James, but it is a fact.

Duke of Bangladesh, this is the title given to Zhuo Fei by the British royal family, Zhuo Fei doesn't understand this, what the buddy wants is the Duke of Australia, but the explanation given by Sir James made Zhuo Fei speechless. "Zhuo, you know, in 1931 the British Parliament enacted and passed the Westminster Act. The Act stipulates that Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa are all British Overseas Dominions, which are independent and equal sovereign states. Although Australia and the United Kingdom form the Commonwealth and share the British King as Head of State, there is no way for the Royal Family to appoint you as the Duke of Australia. ”

James explained like this, Zhuo Fei finally understood, daring to love Australia is a British overseas colony on the surface, but it is already an independent sovereign country, and even the British royal family cannot appoint a territorial duke for a sovereign country. But even so, what about this title of Governor of Bangladesh brought by Sir James? Could it be that the British are not really willing to give themselves the title of duke, but just casually prevaricate themselves?

Xu saw that the anger in Zhuo Fei's eyes was about to erupt, and Sir James hurriedly explained, "Zhuo, there is no problem with your dukedom at all, as compensation for not being able to canonize you as the Duke of Australia, the royal family has decided to appoint you as the governor of Bangladesh, and the South Asian region that has been controlled by the umbrella is your jurisdiction, of course, including Indonesia and Malaysia." The land you have purchased in Western Australia will become your personal domain, and your Governor-General title will continue for generations to come, just like your title. ”

Zhuo Fei is not a person who does not know what to do, knowing that this is already the biggest concession and goodwill of the British, so he didn't say anything, but instead entertained James, after all, he had been recognized by the British royal family. As a veteran British aristocrat, Sir James spent a whole day telling Zhuo Fei in detail about the aristocracy, including the national obligations that the nobles had to face. Zhuo Fei did not resist the position of Governor of Bangladesh, although South Asia would choose independence after the war, he believed that with the strength of the umbrella and his own immigration plan, South Asia would never be able to get rid of his control in the future......

"Zhuo, you have to determine the family crest as soon as possible, and after the family crest is affirmed by the royal family, your duke title will be recognized and promulgated to the public." Now that the wood is in the boat, Sir James also intends to settle for a good popularity. When they were about to part, the kind-hearted Sir James did not forget to remind Zhuo Fei, but he had already forgotten that there was no real machine now, and Zhuo Fei, who was in Australia, had no way to send the family crest that his staff had already designed to the British mainland, which was thousands of miles away.

Seeing off Sir James, who had completed the mission, Zhuo Fei's staff stood up and cheered, and saluted Zhuo Fei, who had obtained the title of duke, was fully capable of appointing knights in his own territory. Knowing that Zhuo Fei had been recognized by the British royal family and was awarded the position of Governor of Bangladesh, whether it was MacArthur who was far away on the island of Kalimantan or Vivian, who had just returned to Australia from South Asia, the first reaction was incredible, and then Vivian showed ecstasy, but MacArthur was silent.

From the beginning of Zhuo Fei's large-scale purchase of land in Western Australia, Vivien knew that Zhuo Fei planned to build Western Australia into the base camp of the umbrella company, and now, it was really time for the governor's position to fall from the sky. With Zhuo Fei's governorship, which has been recognized by the British royal family, Zhuo Fei can openly dictate the internal affairs of South Asia, after all, the territory currently occupied by the umbrella is still a British overseas territory.

"Is it possible to do this? After all, the British royal family did not say that India is also my jurisdiction. Zhuo Fei was still a little hesitant about Vivian's suggestion, and at this time he sent troops to participate in Indian affairs, and Zhuo Fei didn't know what the consequences or chain reaction would be.

"Then we can be more safe, first according to the deployment of troops, and then according to the British wishes, send troops across the Indo-Burmese border to take the initiative to help the British clear the remnants of the Japanese army. As long as we show our strength a little bit, I believe that the British royal family is not stupid, they should know what we want, and for now, we are the only ones who can take the initiative to help the UK. Vivien's analysis of the situation was thorough, and the alliance between Britain and the United States existed only on paper before the Americans repelled the Japanese army.

The Umbrella has always been outside of all forces, even if the army was dispatched to help China go north to resist the Japanese, and also helped MacArthur meet the Japanese army on Kalimantan Island, but on the whole, the force possessed by the Umbrella Company can be regarded as a lifesaver for Britain. Now that they have agreed to confer the title of Zhuo Fei, this has already shown the attitude of the British, the British now need the help of the umbrella to tide over the difficulties, as for the future, who can say for sure.

"Well, let's send a part of the servant army across the Indo-Burmese border to help the British in India wipe out the remnants of the Japanese army, which is also a good way to show our attitude and goodwill to the British." Zhuo Fei agreed to Vivian's proposal, but in line with the principle of acting carefully, Zhuo Fei did not plan to send troops to North Africa immediately, but chose to first defeat the remnants of the Japanese army that he deliberately put into India. Those Japanese troops had already caused a certain amount of trouble to the British army in India, and at least a few states next to Burma had already become a mess, and the umbrella wanted to show its attitude and goodwill towards the British, and these remnants of the Japanese army were the best targets.

Soon, the people sent by Sir James took away the relevant information on air-to-ground rocket weapons, as well as the information on white phosphorus bombs and air-explosive bombs, Zhuo Fei did not show any objections to this, and generously gave the British an upgraded armed helicopter and related technical information. In return for Zhuo Fei, Sir James, who represents the British royal family, will be John 61 Katyn, who is also the Prime Minister of Australia, rushed to Western Australia and held a humble knighthood ceremony for Zhuo Fei in front of a group of Australian dignitaries.

Although the ceremony was simple, it already showed that Zhuo Fei was affirmed by the British royal family, especially the position of Governor of Bangladesh and the fact that Western Australia had become Zhuo Fei's personal domain, which made the guests attending the knighthood ceremony envious and jealous. Not being able to get the opportunity to win the whole of Australia was a blow to Zhuo Fei, but the whole of Western Australia, which was bought with a lot of real money, could become a private territory that could be inherited for generations, which made Zhuo Fei couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and smile.

As another compensation for the British royal family, it was agreed that Zhuo Fei would spend a sky-high price to buy the entire land of Western Australia, although Western Australia is still nominally Australian territory, but it has actually become Zhuo Fei's private territory. As a compromise with Zhuo Fei, Zhuo Fei promised to donate a sum of money equivalent to the tax amount to the Australian government for public affairs every year, and promised that the number of escorts in his private territory would never exceed 3,000 people.

"Now that we're done, it's time for us to officially march into the Bay of Bengal and show the world absolute force." The good news came one after another, just after Zhuo Fei sent away Sir James and John 61 Katyn and his party, the weapons laboratory, which had spent a lot of money and materials, finally came with good news, and Zhuo Fei had been paying attention to the successful development of the mass killing weapon. In Zhuo Fei's memory, the nuclear bomb is naturally a big killer, but Zhuo Fei has no way to get his scientists to develop a nuclear weapon for actual combat, and the big killer weapon he is concerned about is only a cloud burst bomb that is weaker than a nuclear bomb.
