"Sir, here comes the wine!"

A servant arrives with a drink and interrupts Howard in pressuring the commissioner.

Howard nodded, "To that gentleman!" ”

The servant was very respectful and brought the wine to Du Yongxiao.

The Commissioner of Police took the opportunity to wipe a cold sweat.

Everyone sat down again, and the tension just now flashed.

It is said that the nobles of medieval Europe domesticated knights as their own family power, and the major nobles designed medals for their knights as a symbol of their own status in order to distinguish each other. And with the development, the medal became a kind of representation of the merits of the warriors in the war.

The Order of the British Empire, also known as the Order of the British Empire, is a knightly order under the British authorisation and commendation system.

The Order was created on 4 June 1917 by King George V of the United Kingdom to fill the gap in the British honours and awards system at the time.

At that time, George V wanted to reward some civilians and soldiers who participated in the First World War but did not go to war, but there was no suitable decoration, so he promoted the establishment of the Order of the British Empire. With its later development, the Order of the British was also used to reward people who had made outstanding contributions in all walks of life.

The Order of the British Empire is divided into five classes, but only the first two levels, the Lord of the Order of the Grand Cross and the Order of the Commander of the Order of the Knighthood, can have a knighthood and be honored as "Sir" or "Dame", and as a Hong Kong police officer who came to Scotland Yard from Hong Kong to study, Du Yongxiao is also a fifth-class officer of the Order of Knighthood.

But even this broke the British record, after all, in the history of the United Kingdom, there has never been a Chinese here to receive an award, and even if there is, it is to receive a medal in Hong Kong, which is completely different from the award here.

In addition, Du Yongxiao is so young, it is incredible.

After a few glasses of wine, the police commissioner calmed down, sorted out his thoughts, and coughed: "Sir, we will definitely consider your advice carefully-"

"No, I don't give you your opinion for consideration, but obedience!" Howard's eyes widened, domineering.

"Ahem, this-"

The senior superintendent hurriedly stood up and smiled: "Sir, since you have spoken, we will definitely do it!" ”

The police commissioner also understood, and hurriedly got up: "Yes, we will do as you tell us!" After speaking, he looked at Du Yongxiao and said, "Captain Du, I'm very sorry that I couldn't give you a commendation in name!" ”

Du Yongxiao said politely: "It's okay, it's good to have a heart!" "With a polite smile on his face.

Howard saw that the matter was satisfactorily resolved, so he nodded, ordered someone to serve wine, and asked the band to come forward to play to cheer up.

For him, it is already the biggest reward for him to fight for Du Yongxiao for a "knight's medal", after all, Du Yongxiao came to London to study, and he will definitely honor his ancestors when he returns with this medal.

But for Du Yongxiao, his mind is not on this bullshit medal at the moment, and he is not uncommon for these.

What is glory? It's better to be realistic, even if Howard plugs hundreds of thousands of pounds.

If you let everyone here know what is in his heart, you will definitely be shocked.

Du Yongxiao's ultra-avant-garde "pragmatist" is absolutely rare, and many Britons in this era regard glory as more important than life.

……

"Drinking and having fun" on such an occasion is not something that ordinary people can afford, and the complicated British etiquette alone will give you a headache.

Du Yongxiao is at ease, and even many courtesies are more thoughtful than these British bigwigs, which not only surprised Howard, but also surprised those present, including the future Prime Minister Edwards and Margaret Thatcher.

In fact, Du Yongxiao has watched many dramas in his last life, including the famous British drama "Hamilton Manor", in which the etiquette rules are more complicated and cumbersome than reality.

It just so happened that Du Yongxiao was a very careful person, and at this moment, he verified them one by one, and he suddenly felt full of interest.

Out of politeness, Howard officially introduced Du Yongxiao to everyone present.

Although it was just a casual introduction, it could not bring actual benefits to Du Yongxiao, but everyone here knew that Du Yongxiao saved Mr. Howard's daughter, and Howard now treats him as a "benefactor", and helping Du Yongxiao to fight for the "Knight Medal" just now explains everything.

As long as Matt Howard does not fall in the future and the family is still prosperous, then Du Yongxiao will have one more person who covers him, and even if he does not walk sideways in England, he can be unimpeded.

After all, everyone has to give this face.

Du Yongxiao's performance was neither humble nor arrogant, without any flattery, nor did he show a philistine.

As a "person who has come over", Du Yongxiao has always believed that "strength is king", Howard only gives him superficial glory, if you want to truly conquer these people in front of you, including the two future British Prime Ministers, the first thing to do is to strengthen yourself!

Only when you are strong enough to be unmatched, will others truly "respect" you.

Of course, since he has a "golden finger", Du Yongxiao does not mind opening up, and he deliberately impressed Edward Sith and Margaret Thatcher in the crowd, and briefly talked with them about the political direction of Britain and the future development situation of Britain.

At first, people just smiled politely, and said in their hearts, "You are just a little Hong Kong policeman, how can you understand politics."

Even Howard thinks that Du Yongxiao is a bit self-conscious to talk about such a topic.

The old butler Witt shook his head even more.

The only ones who are happy are the Commissioner of Police and the Senior Superintendent, they really want Du Yongxiao to make a fool-—— they will make a lot more fools tonight than Du Yongxiao.

It's a pity that Du Yongxiao didn't do what they wanted, what Du Yongxiao talked about was definitely not untargeted, relying on the knowledge storage of his previous life, just a few sentences, the disadvantages of the times, and the nuance, which attracted Edward Sith and Margaret Thatcher to think seriously.

Even as soon as Du Yongshun said a word, it made them think for a long time, and their thinking even couldn't keep up with Du Yongxiao's rhythm.

Du Yongxiao also drank too much, no longer reserved just now, and couldn't help but burst out a few famous economic theories in the previous life, such as "pigs can fly in the wind".

The scene was silent and immediately fell silent.

Howard was completely impressed with him.

The old butler Witt opened his mouth even more in shock.

As soon as Du Yongxiao saw this scene, he knew that he had to talk a lot.

Edward Sith was just about to ask him a question, but Du Yongxiao got up politely: "Excuse me, gentlemen! Drink too much wine, lose company first! ”

After speaking, he bowed slightly, looked at everyone in surprise, and turned to leave the living room under Howard's meaningful gaze.

After he left, the future British Prime Minister Edward Sith sighed: "What did he say? Can pigs fly? Which of you takes notes? ”
