Chapter 145: English Country Love Story 7
Colonel Howell was an officer stationed in Tianzhu.
He was a college classmate of Victoria's biological father, Prince Edward, and as such, Victoria had a crush on him.
When Colonel Howell was not in Tianzhu, he often came to Kensington Palace to visit Colonel Howell.
The Duchess felt that Colonel Howell had too much influence on Victoria, so she used means to drive the people to Tianzhu and keep him away from Victoria.
Now, five years later, Colonel Herwell's time for assignment has arrived, leaving Tianzhu and returning to Great Britain.
Victoria to Colonel Jahuan Koop Howell.
"When the colonel comes back this time, he will be able to be promoted to general."
Victoria said happily: "In the future, I will be able to have one more helper." ”
Colonel Herwell was a tall, thin man in his forties, with a serious expression, but when he saw Victoria, he softened a little.
Victoria happily catches up with Colonel Howell and introduces Jia Huan to Colonel Howell.
Colonel Hewell was surprised that Jia Huan turned out to be a girl, but he was worthy of being a person who had seen strong winds and waves, and he quickly settled down.
He and Victoria started chatting.
Victoria is interested in Tianzhu.
Colonel Herwell told him what he had seen and heard in Tianzhu and what he had seen at sea.
Victoria listened with relish.
An idea popped into Jia Huan's mind.
Jia Huan pretended to be very interested, and asked a lot about He Wei's going to sea, and the customs of Tianzhu.
At the end, he sighed: "I really want to see it for myself." ”
"I want to, too." Victoria echoed the tunnel, but then lost it, "It's a pity that with my identity, I can't go that far at all." ”
Even when she goes to sea, she only travels by boat to countries such as France and Italy.
He visited these countries as the heir of Great Britain.
Along the way, there is no freedom, and there is no sense of fun.
Jia Huan's eyes flashed, and he said, "I can go, I'll help you see the scenery there." ”
"Huh?" Victoria was taken aback, "Catherine, how can you go?" You're a lady, how can you go so far? ”
Jia Huan: "I never felt like a lady, and I didn't want to be a lady. ”
Victoria: "If you do this, no one will want to marry you." ”
Jia Huan: "I didn't think about getting married. ”
He is a big man, how can he get married.
Victoria: "But ......"
Jia Huan: "Victoria, I'm here to help you realize your dreams." ”
Victoria: "Catherine. ”
Victoria was so moved that tears flowed down her eyes, and she grabbed Jia Huan's hands with both hands.
"Catherine, do what you want to do, I'll always have your back."
Jia Huan: "I need a boat that can go to sea." ”
Victoria: "I'll give it to you." ”
With that, she turned to Colonel Howell.
"Colonel, can you help me prepare a sea boat?"
Howell: "......"
Should he stop these two girls from messing around? Or is it support?
Let's support it.
Anyway, it wasn't his dear princess who went out to sea to wave, it was another girl.
He is not responsible for the safety and reputation of this girl.
On the contrary, he can also gain the favor of Her Royal Highness through this matter.
Colonel Howell spoke: "Okay, Your Highness Princess, there happens to be a decommissioned warship, and I can ask the military department to sell it to Miss Catherine at a low price." ”
Victoria knew that Catherine didn't have much money, and said, "I'll pay for it, and it's my birthday gift to Catherine." Your birthday is coming soon, isn't it? Just next month, the Duchess and I were already on our way on a 'trip' and couldn't help you celebrate your birthday. ”
"It's okay, I'm very happy to have a gift from Her Royal Highness the Princess." Jia Huan said with a smile.
Prostituting a warship for nothing, he was simply happy to death.
Colonel Howell was quick.
Princess Victoria was to set out for a "tour" in a week, and Colonel Herwell had to get the ship done before she left.
Colonel Howell had a wide network in the military department, and it only took five days for the warship to fall under Jia Huan's name.
"General Howell, there's one more thing I want to ask you for." Jia Huan spoke.
Kai...... Mr. Carlos, is there anything I can do for you? General Howell was quick to change his tune.
Jia Huan decided to walk in the name of Carlos in the future, Victoria applauded in support, and General Howell responded with a smile.
Jia Huan said: "General Howell, I want to ask you to give me some information about the retired navy. ”
General Howell immediately understood Jia Huan's thoughts.
For him to go to sea, he needed experienced sailors.
Most of those low-ranking navies were experienced sailors.
General Howell readily agreed, and it didn't take long for Jia Huan to give Jia Huan a list.
One by one, Jia Huan went to visit those navies.
These people were discharged from the army for various reasons, and some of them lived in a very poor situation, Jia Huan promised to give them a generous remuneration, and after paying half of the remuneration first, these people agreed to Jia Huan's employment.
They got to the warship first and prepared for the sea.
These people were shocked to see that the ship they served turned out to be a retired warship, and guessing that the identity of Jia Huan's employer was definitely not simple.
Ordinary businessmen would not use warships as navigational tools.
The warship was equipped with several guns.
And everything else.
If a pirate encounters their ship, the pirate ship will not be pleased.
I feel like the security has increased!
Jia Huan had already said goodbye to the Gardiners and returned to Longborn.
Watching his back on horseback go away, Mr. Gardener's expression was complicated: "I have an extra nephew!" ”
Mrs. Gardiner couldn't help but worry: "Catherine is such a maverick, what will she do when she gets married in the future?" I can't find a good marriage! ”
Mr. Gardiner was not worried: "Perhaps, this child has never thought of getting married." When she stands in a high position, she will not get married, and it will not affect her. ”
Mrs. Gardener: "You have faith in Catherine?" ”
Mr. Gardener: "This child is very smart, even smarter than Elizabeth Yin, she always knows what she thinks. Moreover, there is Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria. That is the future Her Majesty the Queen, with Her Majesty supporting Catherine, Catherine can be more unscrupulous. ”
Riding all the way, Jia Huan returned to Longborn.
Seeing the familiar scene, his spirit relaxed slightly.
When pedestrians on the road saw Jia Huan, they first wondered who he was, and later recognized that this was the fourth girl of the Bennet family.
Many people thought that her behavior was too rude and not ladylike at all, and they wanted to preach, but remembering that she was a friend of the princess, they swallowed the words back.
