Although in this era, the development of automobiles has gradually replaced horse-drawn carriages. However, in order to celebrate the royal tradition, in many cases, the royal family still retains the tradition of luxury carriage access.

Zhou Nan and Audrey, as well as Lady Hemstra and her grandfather Alan, got into a four-wheeled carriage specially arranged by the royal family. Among the four people, all three of them were very excited, and the calmest was only Zhou Nan.

Etiny, Jean-Nord, Melissa, and a guard Popler, got into another carriage. Led by guards and guards, two carriages entered Kensington through the south gate of Kensington Palace and headed east along London's busiest business district.

Passing through a red brick building, there is the Albert Hall, the tallest in London, the Royal Academy of Music, Imperial College London, and Harrods, the largest department store in Europe.

When the carriage arrives at the Duke of Wellington statue, on the right hand side is the Royal Gardens of Buckingham Palace.

The carriage was almost at the main entrance before entering Buckingham Palace through the side entrance. The carriage did not go directly into the building, but from the north side of Buckingham Palace, directly into the back garden.

Both carriages stopped, and Zhou Nan and they were greeted off the carriage. Under the arrangement of the female officer, men and women stand separately.

An attendant came up and said to Zhou Nan in French: "Mr. Zhou, His Majesty is riding horses with Mr. Toynbee in the stables at this time, and I have told you to go directly to the stables when you arrive." As for the ladies, there would be female officials who would take them to the blue parlor for a party. Your Excellency Viscount Hepburn, His Majesty the King is aware of your intentions, and he is deeply sympathetic to Mr. Joseph's plight, but it is inconvenient for him to make any move in the present situation. However, he has already brought this matter to the attention of His Excellency Earl Pattinson, so if there is any request, I will directly arrange for you to discuss it directly with Earl Pattinson. ”

"Your Majesty has great appreciation for your outstanding talents in the field of business, but today is not the right time to talk about official business. But today's White Hall, there will be a lot of business elites who are willing to communicate with you, and I hope you can have a good time. Your Excellency Etinny, Sergeant Popler, in the Golden Hall you will find your own pleasure too. ”

On the other side, a female officer also greeted each woman in all aspects, and several people came up and took them to different areas.

Zhou Nan continued to sit in the carriage, smiled at the somewhat nervous Audrey, waved his hand, and under the leadership of the carriage, he marched from the carriage to the stables in the southwest from the carriage in the Imperial Garden.

The stables are directly south of the garden, and Zhou Nan is equivalent to walking through the entire garden. Before they reached the stable, they saw two riders competing, seven or eight men gathered on the side of the stable facing the garden to cheer, and some attendants and female officers standing on one side.

Although Zhou Nan has lived for nearly a hundred years in another life, he has never had such a moment to step into the power center of an old empire.

Although he doesn't have much reverence for the British royal family, it's fake not to be curious. While admiring the view, he thought about today's topic in his mind.

The trend of national independence, this topic is difficult to parse clearly, even if it is an analysis of a region, I am afraid that a thick book can be written.

What is the UK's biggest concern right now? Undoubtedly, it is India, the jewel in the crown of the United Kingdom.

Zhou Nan carefully considered today's topic two days ago, and also carefully recalled the subsequent development of India. The current British royal family is probably most concerned about the separatist tendencies of different ethnic groups in India.

The partition of India and Pakistan is the biggest crisis that India is currently facing. Britain's grip on India was greatly reduced by the drag of World War II. In India, however, there are growing contradictions between denominations of different faiths.

By next year, India will split into two countries, something that Britain has been trying to prevent but have not succeeded.

Therefore, Zhou Nan quickly thought about today's topic, that is, to talk about the influence of the partition of India and Pakistan on the United Kingdom, and to let Britain change its mindset and no longer obstruct this trend.

Moreover, the division of India can also directly affect their policy in Malaysia and the policy of the Netherlands in the East Indies to a certain extent, which has a positive effect on their own expectations.

The carriage stopped, and the two horses that were racing on the short track ended the race. At this time, Zhou Nan recognized that one of the horses was sitting on the current King George.

In the crowd, Zhou Nan also saw a series of celebrities, including Britain's most outstanding politician Winston Churchill and the current Prime Minister Attlee.

Zhou Nan slowly got out of the carriage, pressed his right hand on his chest, and bowed slightly to everyone.

Most of the people also bowed and saluted, obviously they were not surprised by Zhou Nan's appearance, although the appearance of an Oriental here, it seemed a little disagreeable.

In the past three months, no one has been more sensational than Zhou Nan, and no one has been able to take out more dry goods than Zhou Nan.

From being unknown to being world-famous, although it only took three months, the results that Zhou Nan came up with were something that countless people could not study thoroughly in their lifetime.

Even the arrogant British, although they were a little resentful of an Oriental being so showy, they could not deny that Zhou Nan did have an enviable talent.

And for the really talented, the British are always a little more tolerant. What's more, Zhou Nan was specially invited by the king today, even if he didn't give Zhou Nan face, he also had to give the king some face.

George jumped off his horse, he was quite tall and dignified, only his cheekbones were slightly high, but he was a beautiful man.

In Zhou Nan's memory, the man that Princess Marita admired most in her life was her father, so she gradually lost control after he died.

With a hint of sweat, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand. In French, he said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, welcome to Buckingham Palace." ”

It's not formal diplomacy, so you don't have to speak English all the time and then use an interpreter to ramble on the side.

Zhou Nan stretched out his hands, bowed slightly, and said, "Should I use the greeting that the British meet every day: The weather is good today?" The last sentence was in English.

He laughed and said, "There's still a lot to learn, but I'm glad you've become interested in English as well." ”

Zhou Nan said in a calm tone, but without losing flattery: "English has become the world language in the past two hundred years with the expansion of British power. If you don't know English, you haven't integrated into the world's mainstream culture. I'm already one step behind the others, so I need to speed up my pace. ”

He smiled and asked, "Do you need me to introduce you to an English teacher?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, my wife is an Englishman, and I think I'll be able to communicate in English soon."

After the pleasantries, George began to introduce himself to everyone present in turn, and also to everyone present.

According to British etiquette, only after this step can Zhou Nan be qualified to talk to those present. It is only through introductions that other people can talk to him, otherwise, it is a violation of etiquette.

These people are all influential figures in British politics. Although the British did not want to arrange for the entire Congress to listen to Zhou Nan's speech like the Netherlands, through the king, they also arranged important people to communicate with Zhou Nan.

Obviously, they want to save face, but they want the lining even more.

Needless to say, Churchill, a giant known as Britain's greatest statesman, directly influenced the world for more than a decade. Without him, Britain would not have been able to hold out until victory in World War II.

And Attlee, anyone who has studied British history, will know that he is the most underrated British politician. During his five years in power, Britain was the fastest to restore order, and he was also voted the most efficient prime minister in the United Kingdom.

Tragically, his term of office was between Churchill's two terms, and because of Churchill's immense fame, he was forgotten by most people.

Outside the stables, there were a few tables and chairs for women who came to play with their husbands. Everyone sat down at a few tables, George waved his hand, and the attendants and female officers left silently.

Zhou Nan was next to Prime Minister Attlee, and he was also the most amiable one, watching Zhou Nan carefully sit on the chair with half of his buttocks, and asked the female officer to bring a cushion for Zhou Nan to sit down.

Zhou Nan expressed his gratitude, and after he was seated, Attlee directly asked Zhou Nan about some details of the European Union plan proposed by Zhou Nan in Italy.

"Mr. Zhou, I watched your full speech in Italy, from the coal and steel union, to the customs union, to the industrial centralization, to the industrial distribution, to the economic union, and even the political union. You've got a whole unified plan, and that's a great plan. However, we must also realize that in this process, there are still many problems that we find difficult to solve, as well as many contradictions that are difficult to resolve. ”

Zhou Nan nodded and only answered him one sentence. "The road is tortuous, but the future is bright."

Everyone stared at Zhou Nan, especially Churchill, who glanced at Zhou Nan with an eagle-like gaze on his usual serious face, which looked very imposing.

Zhou Nan has already seen that in today's meeting, George is a liaison. Audrey and Churchill have a red face and a white face, just to put pressure on them to reveal more useful information.

Now, he doesn't even have an assistant by his side, and there's no one to help him. What is Zhou Nan's level, in front of them, it is impossible to hide it at all.

But now Zhou Nan only used one sentence to express his views without humility or arrogance, and also alluded to his detached position that he would not fall into disputes, which also made him still feel comfortable facing them.
