In the three years from 49 to 52, Zhou Nan also came to the UK several times.

A few times because of international conferences, once because Arsenal won the FA Cup, and the remaining two because of his racehorse Albert.

British horse racing is the largest in the world, and only football can match it in the UK. The rest of cricket and rugby, while not small, are still not comparable to football and horse racing.

Albert, who Marita gave to Zhou Nan, has undergone professional training and has always performed very well on the racecourse, winning many championships and winning a lot of money for Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan didn't have much interest in horse racing, so he didn't want to put too much energy into it. Albert has been entrusted to the management of the British Royal Racing Board, and although he has to pay a lot of money every month for the custody, he has been making a profit because of Albert's good results.

However, he never transferred these profits back home, but deposited them into a separate account, and over the years, he had deposited about 700,000 pounds.

Albert was given to Zhou Nan by Marita, and neither Zhou Nan nor Audrey thought that they could take the money for themselves. So with the 700,000 pounds, I bought a 30,000-acre country house in the most beautiful village in England.

Now is the stage of rapid decline of the British aristocracy, and there are countless aristocrats across Britain who are unable to support their own castle villas, or cannot afford inheritance tax, resulting in a large number of country houses for sale.

This villa is 30,000 acres and is located in the southern foothills of the Cotswolds.

But this farm is only a hunting forest farm, and most of the land is primeval forest. The area of the development is less than a tenth, so the price is not high.

Because the original owner could not afford the inheritance tax, he auctioned off the woodland, and Zhou Nan bought it for 500,000 pounds. It also includes a two-story stone castle with over 200 years of history and an attached servant's quarters.

It was renovated with £200,000 and turned it into a comfortable country holiday home.

It's not cheap, it's even a bit expensive, but it's one of the most beautiful places in the UK. Nearby is Baibury, water Burton such a famous scenic spot, the price is a bit high, it is understandable.

However, Marita rejected the gift and insisted on accepting it. So this gift is smashed in my hand and is still being renovated.

If Marita insists on it, the renovation will not be in vain, and it only takes a casual remodeling to turn the stone castle into an upscale resort hotel.

This stone castle has a lot of rooms, and there are more than a dozen bedrooms alone, making it a clubhouse-style inn.

accompanied Audrey to London, and the two of them actually had a complicated heart, both of them had a headache for the paranoid Marita.

Although Audrey often meets Marita, Zhou Nan hasn't seen her for three years.

The royal family has been worrying about her marriage and has introduced her to many young talents.

But in the end, it didn't work.

Because of this, Zhou Nan has never dared to see Marita, and even Eliza went to Zhou Nan's Jonas Farm for vacation last year, and accused Zhou Nan of being a little too ruthless.

She believes that it is precisely because of Zhou Nan's ruthlessness that Marita has been psychologically damaged, so she has no confidence in men.

This made Zhou Nan unable to complain, if he really went to see Marita every once in a while, and no matter what Audrey thought, George would not spare him.

Zhou Nan can't say that he has no feelings for Marita, but he really doesn't have that kind of affection for Marita.

Because of Audrey, he is already very satisfied with his love life.

In another life, he has passed without a woman.

He was afraid that he would not be able to bear the affection of two people at all, so he could only escape.

As for marrying four wives in a row like Russell, and playing with flowers like Hughes, his education did not allow him to do so.

Audrey fits all his fantasies about women, and with Audrey, he is satisfied.

But Marita's paranoid emotions did touch Zhou Nan.

Especially in the past few years, Marita has changed from a nineteen-year-old girl to a twenty-two-year-old girl. But she is still trapped in the emotional sustenance of her girlhood, and she is unwilling to accept the feelings of other men, which has moved Zhou Nan.

From touching to moving, Zhou Nan didn't dare to see her anymore.

He didn't want Audrey to worry, and he didn't want her to be sad.

But this time, I'm sure I'll meet Marita.

Back in January, George was already feeling a little unwell. So he was supposed to visit Africa, and it was also arranged for Eliza to go to Kenya instead of him.

During the beginning of February, he had been recuperating at Castle Sanjunham in Norfolk. Long-term smoking caused his lungs to almost fail, and on the day of February 5, he fell into a coma.

On February 6, he died in his sleep, leaving no last words. At this time, Eliza, as the heir to the throne, was still at the Treehouse Hotel in Kenya.

The death of his father has brought Marita, who loved him deeply, into a breakdown, and the royal family is now focused on the funeral, and has no energy to care about her. She also needs to have a good friend to comfort her so that she will not behave rudely at the funeral.

So Audrey, as a good friend of Marita, was invited to London to accompany Marita.

Zhou Nan and Audrey arrived in London on February 8, by which time George's coffin had been transported back to Buckingham Palace from Samjunham Fort, where he had died.

In Kenya, Eliza also interrupted her visit and was taken back to London by a special plane.

At Buckingham Palace, Zhou Nan admired George's remains. His death was expected by everyone, and the cause of his death was not bizarre, he died in his sleep, and died very peacefully.

Eliza and Marita were both grief-stricken, especially Marita, when Zhou Nan saw her, because she hadn't slept for a few days, and her eyes were swollen from crying, so Zhou Nan almost couldn't recognize her.

Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, were calm, suppressing their grief and arranging the funeral process with the government and the aristocracy.

George will be buried on 15 February, and before that, it will be stored at Buckingham Palace until 10 February, where the nobles will pay their respects.

His body was then sealed and transferred to the Palace of Westminster, the Houses of Parliament, for people from all walks of life in Britain to say goodbye.

On 15 February, his body was transferred to Westminster Abbey for a funeral ceremony by the archbishop. A funeral procession was then held to transport his body back to Windsor Castle for burial at St. George's Cathedral, which is located in the castle.

Because of George's death, all entertainment activities in the UK were cancelled, dance halls, nightclubs, football matches, etc. were all suspended. It will not be restored until after the funeral.

George is actually a very good person, and in the process of contact with Zhou Nan, he has never put on a stand as a king.

This may have something to do with the fact that he was not raised as an heir to the king since he was a child.

Before the incident of not loving the country and loving the beauty, George was just a poor worm living in the shadow of Prince Edward.

Handsome and personable, Edward was the king that all Englishmen expected. Even George's wife, Queen Elizabeth, really liked Edward, not George.

But Edward's personality was too out-of-the-box, and he finally gave up the British throne because of a woman.

At this time, without self-confidence, George, who stuttered, was pushed to the throne.

So his personality is, to a certain extent, relatively modest.

Although because he was the king of England, his position with Zhou Nan was somewhat opposite at some times, but this did not affect Zhou Nan's personal relationship with him at all.

If it weren't for Marita's relationship, the two would even be good friends.

In contrast, Eliza's personality is not yet fully finalized, and she does not wield as much power as George. This can lead to her being influenced by the government and the noble House of Lords in some matters, and making decisions that are not intended.

Therefore, Zhou Nan has no confidence in getting along with her.

Moreover, in the matter of Marita, Zhou Nan also felt a trace of her "malice".

She was on vacation at Zhou Nan's home, and when she mentioned that Zhou Nan was sorry for Marita, she actually had a hint of demagogy.

Why did she trick Zhou Nan, a married man, into "dating" with her sister? The root also lies in the struggle for the throne.

George's throne comes from his older brother, so in the succession sequence, he ranks his favorite Marita after Eliza.

Even though Eliza has now given birth to two children, Marita's succession to the throne is still ahead of Charles and Princess Anne, who is not yet two years old.

Eliza, of course, did not want to see this, she always wanted to pass the throne to her children, not her sister.

So, if Marita had a bit of a scandal, then she could logically propose to put Charles and Anne in the front ranking.

However, Zhou Nan knew very well that she was overly worried. With her extra-long standby, the inheritance behind her is meaningless at all.

Charles has survived from a baby to seventy years old, and he has become a grandfather, and he is still a crown prince.

He also became an unprecedented generation of crown princes, such a succession...... Worthless.

But no one knows that now. Eliza is still worried that if something happens to her, the throne will fall to her sister.

Zhou Nan had never thought of getting involved in these things, so he still had a little bit of a reluctance to do this to Eliza.

This is also the main reason for his concern that his relationship with the British royal family may weaken in the future.

On New Year's Day 50, Audrey inherited Allen's title of Viscount Waltham and became an official British Viscount.

At the same time, Zhou Nan was also awarded the Order of St. Patrick by George, the third rank of the British Order of Merit, after the Order of the Garter and the Order of the Flower.

In fact, in terms of Zhou Nan's contributions, he is fully qualified for a higher level of decoration. Just the partition of India and Pakistan, the partition of Myanmar, coupled with the communication and cooperation between Malaysia and South China, it is not an exaggeration for Zhou Nan to receive the Order of the Guardian.

George was also afraid that Zhou Nan would not accept the award, so he communicated with Zhou Nan in private, the main purpose was to let Eliza ascend the throne and then award Zhou Nan the Order of Gard.

This also wants Zhou Nan to continue to maintain a friendly relationship with Eliza, so that Eliza can use this to win him over.

From his arrangement, Zhou Nan could also understand the importance he attached to himself, so he obeyed George's arrangement and accepted the title.

Otherwise, with his current status, accepting this title would not add glory to him.

You know, he received the royal award from the Netherlands a few years ago, which is the highest military Wilhelm Medal.

He actually felt good about Eliza at first, after all, she was the queen that Zhou Nan was familiar with. But now that she is playing a conspiracy with herself, Zhou Nan is of course a little embarrassed.

However, this should not affect his cooperation with the United Kingdom in the slightest, after all, Malaysia is the most important neighbor of South China, and the cooperation between the two countries is far-reaching and extensive, and will not change because of a small matter.

After paying homage to George's remains, Zhou Nan went home. With a week to go until the funeral, he couldn't have focused all his energy on it.

And Audrey stayed at Buckingham Palace to accompany Marita, and seeing Marita's appearance, she really needed someone to comfort her.

Zhou Nan's current affairs are mainly the upcoming 7th World Economic Forum and the 5th Jonas Foundation Awards Ceremony.

There are two other important international issues to focus on: one is that Greece and Turkey will join NATO to jointly deal with the threat of the Soviet Union.

Another thing is that the United States, Britain and France are preparing to rearm West Germany with the Treaty of Bonn.

The ground military threat of the USSR was too great, and all of Western Europe was overshadowed by them. West Germany, which had been exploited by the Allies, had no military strength at all, but now it could only rely on West Germany to resist the direct threat of the Soviet Union.

As a neutral country, Switzerland has become a window for communication and negotiation between the two sides, relying on the opposition between East and West, and in the face of such a severe and complex international situation, it needs to deal with countless matters and make decisions in its favor every day.

Therefore, Zhou Nan was also very busy and did not plan to stay in London all the time and return to Switzerland the next day.

When I came to London in the afternoon, I went to Buckingham Palace to socialize with all walks of life, at such a time, Buckingham Palace not only did not have drinks to offer, but even food was not prepared, so Zhou Nan was hungry all the time.

The death of the king made Alan very depressed, and he kept snuggling in a rocking chair next to the fireplace, not even eating dinner.

Zhou Nan comforted him, but it had no effect. The British people of this era, especially the British aristocracy, still retained a traditional sense of common honor.

The death of the king apparently hit him hard as well.

Zhou Nan asked Etinny to help him get some food to eat, and then he and Stolko were busy in the study with official business.

About ten o'clock Etiny walked in with an incomprehensible smile on his face and whispered, "Jonas, Audrey is back." However, Princess Marita came with her. ”
