Chapter 37: The princess is also a princess
The man in glasses said to Fan Wubing in a very solemn tone, "Of course, this is Princess Norodom Hassanlia, the great-nephew of His Highness Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia, and a princess who is absolutely perfect."
Oh, it turned out to be a Cambodian princess! Fan Wubing believed it a little. He couldn't help but look at the girl surrounded by everyone, trying to find a little royal demeanor from her face. Unfortunately, I don't know if it was preconceived or the girl had not received a systematic royal education, so he didn't find the feeling he wanted at all.
"It's right that it's a princess, but she is a princess in trouble!" At this time, Fan Ting and Wang Xuyun also rushed over. When they heard that the one they saved was a Cambodian princess, they couldn't help but sigh.
When it comes to Cambodia, we must mention a famous figure, Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia.
Norodom Sihanouk is a descendant of the two royal families Norodom and Sisova. He studied in Saigon, Vietnam and Paris, France in his early years. He was elected as king by the Throne Committee in 1941. He made an independent demand to France as the King of Cambodia, and in 1953, Cambodia gained complete independence. In 1956, he signed the Declaration of the Non-Aligned Movement with Yugoslavia President Tito, President of the United Arab Republic Naser, President of the United Arab Republic Sukarno and Prime Minister Nehru, and became one of the founders of the Non-Aligned Movement. In 1970, after the coup of the Lonno Srimada group, he lived in Beijing, announced the establishment of the Cambodian National Unification Front and served as chairman, leading the national liberation struggle. In 1991, he was elected as chairman of the National Supreme Council of Cambodia. In November of the same year, he returned to Phnom Penh and was unanimously supported by Cambodia as the head of state.
Strictly speaking, Cambodia is not a kingdom now, but Sihanouk has been a king for a long time before, and has a very strong influence among the Cambodian people, so the people still regard him as a king. As his great-nephew daughter, Norodom Hassanlia naturally has the corresponding position of a princess.
However, because Cambodia has been in turmoil for a long time and Prince Sihanouk spent most of his life exiled to mainland China, the lives of the descendants of the royal family are very ordinary, not as extravagant as the royal families in some countries, so Fan Wubing did not find the turtle spirit in Norodun Hassanria, which is inevitable.
The Cambodian Constitution stipulates that Cambodia is a constitutional monarchy kingdom, legislative, administration and judicial powers separation. The king is the lifelong head of state, the supreme commander of the state army, and a symbol of national unity and eternal existence. For some reason, the king cannot be regarded as a matter or is not in the country. The throne cannot be hereditary. After the king's death, the nine-person throne committee composed of the Prime Minister, the monks of the two sects of Buddhism, the Speaker of the Senate, the Speaker of the National Assembly, and the Deputy Speaker elected a new king from the descendants of the royal family.
When Sihanouk became king, it was elected from the descendants of the royal family.
The Cambodian royal family has a long history. If the maternal and paternal line are calculated, the Cambodian royal family, which is related to each other, has maintained Cambodian royal family for nearly two thousand years. With only the paternal line, the Cambodian royal family lasted for more than 700 years. In 1296, the son-in-law of Cambodian King Jayavarman VIII, inherited the throne. Indra Vajanda III is the patriarchal ancestor of the current Cambodian king. It is rumored that Indra Vajanda III may force his father-in-law to abdicate. It is worth noting that although the Cambodian dynasty has a different name, these continuous dynasties have one or another blood relationship. Norodom Sihanouk is already the 96th generation king of the Cambodian dynasty.
In principle, if Cambodia could restore the constitutional government of the kingdom, Norodom Hassanriya also had the possibility of becoming the king of Cambodia, but as a woman, this possibility was slim, because Sihanouk's son Sihamoni was a suitable age and was quite fatherly. He would probably inherit Sihanouk's mantle. Another point is that Sihanouk's physical condition is excellent and he probably does not need an heir to take office for the time being.
Fan Wubing did think of something else through this incident. The Phnom Penh dynasty in Cambodia started in 1393 and vacant throne in 1960, which lasted for nearly 600 years. Sihanouk was deeply loved by the people in China. It was sooner or later that it would be a matter of time to return to China to integrate resources from all parties and re-establish the country.
So Fan Wubing said nonsense, "The princess in trouble is also a princess!"
Once Sihanoukville is restored and Cambodia becomes a kingdom again, then Noroton Hassanria will of course be a serious royal princess. In fact, the founding monarch of the Funan Dynasty, which was earlier than the Phnom Penh Dynasty and the previous Angkor Dynasty, was a queen. Who can tell the future of things?
But Fan Wubing must have known that Sihanouk will be re-elected as king next year and he accidentally saved such a Cambodian royal princess. It seems that if you want to visit Angkor Wat in the future, you don’t have to worry that no one is busy receiving it.
Just as I was thinking about it, the middle-aged man who had been talking to the princess for a while came to Fan Wubing and others, folded his hands in sincerity and said to them, "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your Chinese friends. On behalf of the Cambodian government and His Highness Sihanouk, I would like to express my great gratitude to the three friends for their righteous deeds. You are friends of our Cambodian people!"
Fan Wubing and others followed the other party's appearance and greeted him, then they started to talk and described the princess's car accident.
Later, I heard from the other party that Norodom Hassanlia lived abroad for a long time and came to Beijing for a trip this time. However, the Cambodian royal family basically acted relatively low-key, and the princess did not follow many people. This time she went out for a walk and got lost with her assistant, but she had a car accident. Fortunately, Fan Wubing and others were rescued in time, otherwise, it would be a lot of luck.
After hearing that Fan Wubing had fallen into a coma for the sake of blood, the other party was even more grateful and said that he would report this to the Head of Sihanouk and ask the royal family to reward Fan Wubing and the other three.
Fan Wubing smiled and accepted the other party's kindness, but he muttered in his heart that Cambodia is one of the least developed regions in the world. It is hard to imagine that they can give anything good to them. Even if they have some treasures, they should have been snatched away by the French and Vietnamese devils, right?
Or Angkor Wat is a good thing, but it cannot be moved away, and no one dares to move it away. The thing is painted on someone’s national flag and emblem. How can others allow blasphemy?
As a result, the three of them came back to the bedside of His Royal Highness the Princess, and smiled and said a few blessings to her. Although the words of both sides were not clear, the princess seemed to have a good impression of Fan Wubing and said something shyly.
"What did the princess just say?" Fan Wubing was curious about why the translation did not pass the translation simultaneously, but looked up at the ceiling, looking a little embarrassed, so he asked.
The man wearing glasses standing next to him coughed and said, "Haha, there is no need to ask this in detail. Anyway, it is just some words used to express friendship, probably that's it."
"Brother, where are you doing? Can you even understand such difficult things?" Fan Wubing couldn't help asking.
"Of course it's the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, otherwise do you think anyone else can speak Khmer?" the man in glasses touched his ear and replied.
Khmer is the common language of Cambodia. It is the official language of Cambodia, as well as English and French. However, for Chinese people, not many people can understand or speak this language. After all, it is a small language, so few people learn it. In addition, Cambodia is an underdeveloped area. If you study or immigrate, no one will choose it, so naturally there is no one to be interested.
However, most Cambodians can understand some English and French, but there are still no big obstacles in communication.
His Royal Highness was still recovering from the injury, so it was not advisable to disturb her too much. Therefore, after confirming her identity, the hospital transferred her a separate room, which was taken care of by the royal family, and arranged special caregivers, and finally separated from Lin Xiaotong.
After seeing off these people, two lieutenant generals from the military came over.
"Two Mr. Fan, thanks to you for yours this time. On behalf of the military, I would like to express my gratitude to you." A lieutenant general said to Fan Wubing and Fan Ting.
"Save life and help the wounded, and the duty is to be the most important thing. This is also a fine tradition of our Chinese people." Fan Wubing replied seriously.
The two lieutenant generals were immediately disgusted by Fan Wubing's tone. After a long time of slowing down, they said, "Well, Mr. Fan, let's come here. First, we are accompanying the Cambodian royal family to determine the matter of the little princess. Second, there are some things that need to be discussed with you. I wonder if it is convenient now?"
Hum? What exactly is it? Fan Wubing frowned, "Of course it's OK, can't you say it here?"
"Some situations are more complicated, about satellite launches." Another lieutenant general replied.
"Well, it turns out that this is the matter. I have to change the place." Fan Wubing slapped his forehead and immediately understood why two high-level generals appeared, so he replied, "Okay, I'll just go with you."
So Fan Wubing greeted his sister Fan Ting, ran to Lin Xiaotong, said goodbye to her, and followed the two lieutenant generals to get on the black Audi military vehicle driven by each other, and ran away in a flash.
After walking west for more than an hour, the convoy entered a base, went deeper, passed through the numerous guard posts, and entered an underground command post. It was quite large in scale, as if it was a temporary command post for combat preparation. In the largest hall, researchers in white coats were busy.
On the large screen opposite the front wall is full of the front wall, there are live images of the Jiuquan base displayed.
In the rows of seats opposite the large screen, several elderly generals were already sitting there. When they saw Fan Wubing and others coming in, they all stood up.
Damn! Fan Wubing recognized several founding generals at a glance, all of whom were very famous. No matter how arrogant he was, he would not dare to ignore it. "Hehe, hello, leaders! Thank you for your hard work!"
The people on the other side were thinking about how to bargain with Fan Wubing. After all, they were still a bit weird in their psychology when they were doing business with a big man younger than their grandson. However, this matter must be mentioned, but they did not expect that Fan Wubing would have this expression as soon as they met, which made people laugh and cry.
The generals looked at each other, and no one wanted to be the first to be a bird.
"What do you think of leaders? If you openly say it, there is nothing embarrassing. Our time is precious. Comrade Xiaoping said it well, time is money! Wasting time is a waste of money!" Fan Wubing said with a smile.
When did Comrade Xiaoping say this? Everyone was amused and crying.
"Well, Comrade Xiao Fan." A general with three Venus coughed and said to Fan Wubing, "We have almost prepared the satellite matters we mentioned last time. We will probably launch next week. I'll ask you to come here this time to confirm the insurance matter."
Oh, Fan Wubing understood now.
Although the two sides had reached an agreement on stealing satellites last time, they only said it verbally and did not sign the relevant documents formally. If the plan is really implemented, the result announced to the public will definitely be that the satellite launch failed. In this case, the insurance company will definitely have to make large compensations. The loss is quite large, probably because the military cannot afford such a large loss, and I want Fan Wubing to re-confirm this matter.
"The issue of insurance should be followed in accordance with the agreement at that time. Otherwise, my satellite launch failed, but I don't care at all, and anyone can see the problem." Fan Wubing thought for a while and replied, "But I will definitely not want this money. Otherwise, how about we work together to build a cooperative project? Through the cooperative project, I will directly allocate the corresponding funds and deal with it whatever you want."
Chapter completed!
