Chapter 67 Magic Alchemy

 The weather in the UK in May this year is super good. Although the temperature is not high, the sun is very good at noon and afternoon, with blue sky, white clouds and warm sunshine.

The time came to May 18th inadvertently. Early that morning, accompanied by British officials, George swore an oath to the British flag in front of the civil affairs department. Of course, there were some formalities beforehand, and the parliament also arranged a lot of people.

It's almost done. It's worth mentioning that the name entered into the file is George Orwell Swinton.

"I, George Orwell Swinton, solemnly swear in the name of God that on becoming a citizen of the United Kingdom..."

Now there is only one last ceremony left tomorrow, which is for the British royal family to confer a knighthood on George and grant him a fiefdom.

According to rules, the UK holds two canonization ceremonies every year, and each time a large number of people may be conferred. The main targets are British officials, such as the Prime Minister, the Lord Chancellor, and people who have made outstanding contributions to the UK.

Even businessmen, actors, lawyers, and police are possible.

George came to Europe at the right time this time, and the conditions given by both parties were acceptable, so the matter should have passed smoothly, and the investiture ceremony was arranged on the Founding Day this time.

In fact, as a nobleman who felt his decline after the First World War, it is very necessary for a rich man like George to join the scientists. The nobles need a man with a multifaceted aura like George to tell Pingtong

The people and the aristocracy are all outstanding people like George.

After more than half a month of publicity, George is definitely a big celebrity in the UK. Therefore, when a well-known rich man like George declares to become a British citizen and obtains a title, the government and the aristocracy represented by the royal family find it very helpful.

To enhance the image of the UK.

The knighting ceremony was held at Buckingham Palace. Today was the Founding Day, so there were a lot of people here. There were many nobles, many cabinet officials including the Prime Minister, and ambassadors from many countries to the UK. Here are

Including the U.S. Ambassador.

Because this time the conferment ceremony was open to the public, dozens of reporters came in, including several major newspapers in the United States.

Under the witness of everyone, George knelt on one knee on the soft couch. King George V of the United Kingdom tapped the sword on George's shoulder, then handed the sword to the waiter on the right, and took it from the waiter on the left, which symbolized elegance.

The coat of arms of the special family was awarded to George together with the medal.

From this moment on, George inherited the title of earl of the Swent family. At the same time, King George V of England announced on the spot that he would grant the Arabian Peninsula to George as a fief. Many people present were very surprised. Because the Arabian Peninsula is

It includes several countries and the area is quite large.

However, those who know the inside story also understand that George exchanged the hereditary fiefdom of the Svent family for this fiefdom, or it is an overseas territory, which is not valuable at all in the eyes of these nobles.

Others also came forward to congratulate. George also met Osborne and others who were invited to watch the ceremony.

British Prime Minister Enlil said: "Your Excellency Svent, the government will then issue you with an official governor-general document. Congratulations to your Excellency George."

Governor George is a hereditary governor, and each subsequent generation only needs to report to the British royal family.

George smiled and said: "They all serve the interests of the United Kingdom. I will also accept your jurisdiction from now on."

This sentence is just a polite word. As an autonomous territory, George has a very high degree of autonomy. The British government generally has no control over the Arabian Peninsula except for diplomacy.

The U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom also came up to congratulate him and said: "Mr. Orwell, I didn't expect that you would become a hereditary earl of the United Kingdom and obtain such a large piece of hereditary autonomous territory. Have you ever considered how to develop it in the future?"<

/p>

"It's just a title I inherited. I'm going to turn this large fiefdom into a tourist attraction. Although there are many desert areas, it has beaches. I'm also going to build it into a holy land for the gaming industry. In the future, we Americans,

There is another place to play. But this cannot be told to the outside world." George deliberately lowered his voice in the second half of the sentence.

The Ambassador smiled, nodded and said, "Congratulations to your Excellency, Earl."

George also paid attention to what he said. Although the United States supports dual citizenship, when it was reported that George was going to inherit the earl title, the Rockefeller family and Henry Morgan from far away in the United States called to inquire about the authenticity of the matter.

.After all, George is now an influential figure in the United States.

Of course, George would not give up the US market, so he just told them that this was just a transaction and that the title came from inheritance. He also briefly discussed the idea of ​​tax havens with them. Finally, he said that the focus in the future would still be in the United States before dispelling them.

Concerns.

Finally, after everyone exchanged greetings, they prepared to take photos.

King George V, Prince Albert, and many other dukes and nobles are preparing to take photos with George.

Everyone stood still, and the photographer clicked the shutter button, and the picture was frozen.

From then on, the first governor of the Arabian Peninsula was born, and he will definitely bring huge changes to the world.

The Times, the largest newspaper in the UK, reported on the front page that George succeeded to the earl and was granted the title of Arabian Peninsula.

The above reports in detail George's economic achievements and the invention of penicillin. It also introduces the role of penicillin. Below is a large photo of George wearing the Earl's Medal with the royal family and nobles.<

/p>

Not only The Times, but also Italy, Germany, France, the United States and other countries reported on this matter in the following two days.

This is excellent publicity for Britain.

However, there was an episode in the United States. At this time, some people began to advocate that George would leave the United States, give up his American citizenship, and deliver penicillin to the United Kingdom.

After George learned about this incident, he arranged for his newspaper to engage in an entertainment war. On the other hand, he notified Vito and asked him to use the High Table Council to cause some trouble to these newspapers that made inappropriate remarks. He did not need to kill people or set fire, but just made a little fuss.

Accidents are good.

As for checking to see if there is someone behind the scenes, it goes without saying that George knows there must be someone. As for who it is, there is no need to check. If it is found out, it is just someone who was pulled out to support the person, which makes no sense.

That night, Buckingham Palace held a grand cocktail party, where George met many nobles he had just met a few days ago.

The next day, although George didn't like to socialize, he still followed aristocratic etiquette. George also held a cocktail party in his mansion, inviting not only more than 30 people from the duke family, but also some officials from the cabinet and some ambassadors to the UK.<

/p>

After the cocktail party, Osborne and others continued their exchange activities in Europe. George would not accompany him due to his special personal circumstances. However, George said he would attend the scientist summit in Switzerland.

The next day, George left England on the pretext of going to the Arabian Peninsula.

In fact, George did not leave, but dressed up a little, and then inspected the UK with the company personnel brought from the United States, preparing to make some investments. He now has the status of a hereditary earl. If he does not have one in the UK,

Even a little investment and all assets in the United States will cause dissatisfaction among the British people. Besides, George also understands that eggs should not be put in one basket.

George also arranged for people to set up a cultural company in the UK that specializes in acquiring antiques from various countries. Not long after the First World War, European countries have just recovered. Many people who have antiques at home are willing to exchange them for them as long as the price is right.

into cash for investment and development.
