Chapter 511: Territorial Expansion? 【Three Watches】
It was morning from China and morning from Sardinia. Jet lag was very torturous, Alice yawned repeatedly, her head tilted and fell asleep, and when she arrived at the Montcalieri Palace, she woke up, she stretched her waist, and asked in a daze, "Daddy, why is it not dark yet?" ”
An Feng shook his head: "You'll know if you sleep a little longer." ”
Wheeler, the butler, pulled the door and greeted, "Welcome back, Your Royal Highness." ”
"Good morning." An Feng handed him the hat, and Alice, who was on the other side, got out of the car and also greeted, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wheeler." ”
"My pleasure, Your Highness." He bowed and nodded.
Like the traditional English butler, Wheeler is also a native of England, and was selected by Brandon six years ago, and trained by his own hands for half a year, after which Brandon was honorably discharged from the army, and the queen specially bestowed him with "honorary citizens" and the Order of Good Service.
There are many traces of Brandon's rigor in Wheeler, but he is more energetic, in his early sixties, and strong, and very good at things such as driving for the queen himself and hunting ducks with a shotgun. Before leaving, Brandon said that this royal family needs to be young and energetic, and Wheeler is.
Judging from the current effect, all forty-five servants are in good spirits, and occasionally there will be group activities in their free time, and the queen also appreciates that although it is impossible to actually achieve equality for all, she does not look down on anyone, but only treats them as professionals engaged in domestic work.
The maid carried the luggage, and the housekeeper followed An Feng, An Feng said casually: "What has she been busy with lately?" ”
"Madame and the Prime Minister and the Parliament discuss matters in politics." Wheeler said, "I've heard about the problem of illegal immigration, and it's been making headlines lately. ”
"Illegal immigrants?" When An Feng heard this, he shook his head: "It's not a good thing. ”
"There are two factions of attitudes among the people, one is tolerance and the other is to eliminate loopholes." Wheeler said appropriately.
"Detailed." An Feng let him continue.
"The percentage of people who are tolerant is smaller. They are more caring people, they hope that the government can accept these immigrants who have nowhere to go, and the opposite side lists the disadvantages brought by illegal immigration, the impact on social order, and the most critical welfare policy, which is somewhat extreme. ”
"For example?" An Feng said. The butler speaks very decently, he pays attention to words, and he will ask about sensitive places.
"The radicals say that it is the right thing to do to fill the hole by lowering the social welfare of citizens as a whole – as long as the tolerant crowd or parliamentarians take the lead and remain firm after three or five years of testing, they will be positive."
"Huh." An Feng smiled.
"As a result, there is a predominance of people who support the introduction of more specific immigration policies in the country, and the lessons of illegal immigration are being played out in Spain and France," Wheeler said. The consequences were very bad, and the parliamentarians were very cautious about the matter, and Madame has been keeping an eye on the progress of the matter. ”
They arrived at the Queen's private office on the second floor, Wheeler knocked on the door and pushed it open, and An Feng walked in with Alice.
Joanna was facing away from them, cordless phone in hand. She is dressed as a professional woman today, with a cool white shirt and a hem tucked in a professional skirt. The hair with a permed shawl is very temperamental, and she is said to be a queen. Now it's more like a strong woman in the company's executives.
Joanna, who heard the voice, turned her head, nodded at them, and said, "I don't care what a few people think, just let this matter calm down first." ”
"That's right." Her tone was unmistakable, "Take the attitude you need and execute it immediately." ”
She put down the phone. Walking forward, An Feng hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and then asked, "What do you have to give orders in person?" ”
She shook her head: "Parliament has become full of gunpowder because of a new finance bill, and the two gangs are in trouble. If you can't solve it, come to me. ”
"Who made you their leader?" An Feng smiled, it was like two groups of children fighting, and in the end, they came to their parents when they were inseparable.
Joanna looked at her daughter next to her, and Alice conjured a box from behind her: "A gift for you, a pearl bracelet bought from China." ”
She used that interrogative look.
An Feng became a peacemaker: "You put away the gift first, she put a lot of thought into it." ”
"It's hard to find." She muttered quietly.
Seeing this, the housekeeper retreated silently, closed the door gently, and guarded the door, and the family affairs should not be publicized.
Joanna took the gift, and Alice said decisively, "I was wrong, Mom." ”
Joanna leaned against the table, crossed her arms, and asked, "That boy, the one you said in your mouth, how is he?" ”
An Feng went to the sofa to sit, this kind of thing is not mixed.
Alice said: "It's a little tall, a little handsome, but it's very thoughtful, and it doesn't have any connotation at all to attract girls just by pretending to be vicissitudes." ”
Joanna said: "You can see this, it proves that you have thought, people are not afraid of seeing wrong, but they are not sober after being wrong." ”
"So?" She looked up.
"You're doing the right thing, you don't have to be merciful to that kind of guy."
"Aha." She suddenly smiled.
"Please remove this weird word." "But you're going to get a lot of attention as a quasi-publicist, especially in the next few years, and there's no point in the means of prevention, and that's a classic failure." Remember the lesson, and put an end to it for me next time. ”
"Clear, Mom, I will." She bowed her head.
Joanna nodded, she looked at her, and then stepped forward: "Mom, you open the gift, I have been choosing it for you for a long time, and my walking leg is about to break." ”
"You'll have to wait for me to see first." Joanna picked up the present.
"See......" she dragged out.
"Okay." She opened the gift, and inside was a bracelet of strung pearls, white pearls that were a color that women could not resist.
"I'll put it on for you." Alice said very intimately, "Pretty, isn't it?" ”
"Very good." Joanna kissed her forehead, "A reward for you." ”
"I'm the daughter who likes you the most, and I think about you everywhere." She hugged her mother and said proudly.
Joanna smiled, "You clever little girl. ”
After staying in the office for a while, the phone rang again, she pressed the phone to answer, and the assistant's voice came: "Madam, the Prime Minister's call, he said that the matter is more urgent." ”
"Take it." She picked up the phone.
Alice waved at them. Lip sync: "I'll go find Fred." ”
An Feng nodded, she quietly retreated, Joanna frowned and talked to the other party on the phone, leaving a lot of "wait for me to think about it" reply and hung up.
An Feng, who was sitting on the sofa, asked, "What happened again?" ”
"Our northern neighbor, the old problem of Corsica."
"Where's the details?" An Feng patted the position beside him. "Come over here, I'll say."
Joanna walked over, An Feng pulled her to her lap and sat down, she twisted: "Don't be like this, the impact is not good." ”
"You're my wife, what's not to do?" He asked rhetorically, wrapping his arms around her waist to make her sit more comfortably on her lap.
"I'm convinced." She shook her head, "That's right, Corsica has been independent since decades ago. At the moment they want to incorporate into Sardinia. ”
"What about the attitude of France?" An Feng asked, the Corsicans envy the welfare of Sardinia, but unfortunately France has always refused to relax this territory.
"The government relented, the president's advisers talked to Mancini, and with subtle expressions, at some cost and with a deep level of cooperation, they agreed to the Corsican referendum."
"On what terms?" An Feng asked.
"Core military technology and a lot of money," she said. ”
"Think beautifully." An Feng shook his head, "Corsica is a country country. It's still all mountains, and I might as well rent land for development. ”
"But the government and a lot of parliamentarians are interested in that land," she said. If we can include it, we will have a land area of 33,000 square kilometers, which is no longer the lowest in Europe. ”
"Let them die." An Feng said.
Joanna frowned and looked at him, "You really want me to say that?" ”
"Let me think about it." An Feng propped his head, "Adding that place can indeed show off the country, and it is finally larger than the area of Belgium, but the locals are very xenophobic." The self-proclaimed proud Corsican, the homeland of Napoleon, and the Algerian descendant Suzhì are very poor. ”
She asked, "So what do you think of the reply?" ”
"You are the Queen, put the blame on your government, just say ...... Just use the same set against illegal immigrants to equalize everyone's welfare. Do whatever you think is appropriate. If the people are against it, you dissolve the council, fire them, and drink the northwest wind. ”
"Good idea." She nodded, this is a typical thing, if it is good, it will be the credit of the queen, and if the matter is bad, the government will carry the blame.
"Or do you have a lot of ideas." She said again.
"It's a very flexible, very clever idea!" An Feng emphasized, patting her buttocks, "It's not nonsense to come up with." ”
"I don't think so." She smiled and shook her head.
An Feng's topic is not here: "It feels good, but you don't wear it inside?" ”
"I don't want to discuss this." She said.
"This is your office, on the verge of being discovered and hidden." An Feng's fingers roamed over her stockinged thighs.
"Don't play with this, I'll be serious with you." She pressed An Feng's hand as she stepped into the depths.
"But you haven't answered me yet." An Feng looked up, "Or is it a thin line?" ”
"No, it's traceless." She said.
"Oh! Don't be so quick to say the answer. An Feng covered his forehead, "You have to at least resist." ”
"No!" She shook her head, "I don't want to play this right now." ”
"Well, time is yours." An Feng let go of his hand.
"Angry." She said.
"Nope." He shook his head, "Go on, you must be wondering what to do if Corsica was allowed to referendum even after all these policies were implemented." ”
"Don't do that." She leaned over and was very aggrieved: "I was wrong. ”
"I'm serious about discussing things with you, Your Majesty." An Feng said, "And let go of your hand from my chest, I'm not a casual person." ”
She stopped caressing his skin and said solemnly, "Who knows? Everything is uncertain, and Corsica has made some trouble for France from time to time, and what is even more mistaken is that the French, after getting the news from some parliamentarians, think that we want to expand our territory, maybe take the initiative to show goodwill? ”
"Take the initiative to show goodwill, and I won't give them a base for the moon." An Feng pouted.
"So it's a lot of trouble." She said.
An Feng said: "What are you worried about, you are only responsible for the overall opinions and orders, this is something that the cunning politicians should consider." ”
She knew: "And 'fire the squid when things aren't right', right?" (To be continued......)
