"How should I be rewarded this time?"
In the huge meeting hall, the Mayor of London, members of Congress, the Commissioner of Police, the Director of MI6 and others were sitting.
This meeting was held in the mayor's private villa and there would be no interference from media reporters.
At this moment, a dozen big guys in London who can make the London River flow backwards by stamping their feet and make London Bridge tremble by coughing are all having a headache over the same thing——
How to reward Du Yongxiao? !
These big guys never dreamed that one day, with their status, they would rack their brains over such a thing and for such a Chinese.
If Du Yongxiao was a British man, it would be easy to say anything and reward him as he wished. But the problem is that Du Yongxiao is Chinese. To be precise, he is a Chinese detective who came from Hong Kong to train at Scotland Yard.
Prior to this, he had performed heroic feats at Scotland Yard and received a knighthood. Now he had gone to MI6 and saved hundreds of babies at once. How could they reward such a heroic deed?
Should we just let him go back to Hong Kong and become the Commissioner of Police?
impossible!
That's too outrageous.
A twenty-year-old Chinese police chief?
is it possible?
What's more, since the Tsang Siu-ke case, the British have begun to be more vigilant towards the Chinese senior officials of the Hong Kong Police Force. They often reach the level of Chief Inspector and are rarely promoted above.
"This reward is a difficult problem!"
"Yes, originally he didn't make any meritorious service. It would be good to go back and become a small superintendent. But he actually made such a big contribution again. How can he be rewarded?"
Everyone was talking about it.
"Du Yongxiao has just come out from the Military Intelligence Department, why don't we listen to Director George's opinion?"
Everyone looked at George together.
George, whose head was as big as two, hurriedly kicked the ball, "Du Yongxiao is from MI6. Director Bruce is very familiar with him. Let Bruce do the talking!"
Everyone looked at the bearded Bruce again.
"Ahem," Bruce said after a moment of hesitation, "his meritorious service this time is too great, not to mention that he oversees two teams in MI6, the arms team and the anti-drug team. According to their structure in Hong Kong, even if he is allowed to be A police superintendent is also feasible, but he has made such a great contribution, and the only reward he can give is... ahem, Commissioner of Police!"
puff!
Several big guys who were drinking coffee at the scene almost squirted out.
"Police Commissioner?"
Everyone has actually thought about it, but no one dares to say it.
What's more, if they decide here, will the ghost guys in Hong Kong agree?
Although Hong Kong is their colony, the actual situation in Hong Kong must be considered when appointing the Governor of Hong Kong and the Commissioner of Police.
Of course, if To Yongxiao is really appointed as the Commissioner of Police, it is estimated that the happiest people in Hong Kong will be the Chinese, especially the Chinese detectives.
"No! Absolutely not!"
Someone shook his head.
"Although we adopt the policy of using China to control China in Hong Kong, the power of the Commissioner of Police is too great and cannot be easily left to a Chinese!"
"That's right! If he becomes the Commissioner of Police, what will we British do? Follow him and be his lackeys?"
Seeing everyone's objections, the bearded Bruce had no choice but to shrug, spread his hands and said, "I'm just telling the facts, and you asked me to tell them!"
The others stopped talking and looked at London Police Commissioner Lawrence.
Lawrence shrugged directly: "Don't look at me, although he is my subordinate, but you know, once -"
Lawrence really wanted to tell the embarrassing story about Du Yongxiao holding a gun to him, but after thinking about it, it was too embarrassing, so he let it go.
"What was it like?" everyone asked.
"Nothing! I once awarded him an award, a knighthood!"
"Uh, knighthood?"
Suddenly, someone had an idea and was about to speak-——
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and said, "Sir, the spokesperson of the Conservative Party, Mrs. Thatcher, wants to see you."
"Please!"
Who was Mrs Thatcher?
They didn't dare to make excuses, so they hurriedly stood up to greet him.
As we all know, Mrs Thatcher represented Edward Sis, the leader of the Conservative Party.
And not long ago, when Edward was running for prime minister, he relied on the "environmental protection card" and promised to clean up the smog in London. With this, he defeated the opponent, the leader of the Labor Party, and became the first person to be the next prime minister.
In other words, Mrs. Thatcher came here today to represent the future Prime Minister.
…
A moment——
Mrs. Thatcher comes in from outside.
She had a gentle expression but sharp eyes. She exchanged greetings with everyone and then said, "I'm sorry to disturb everyone's meeting. I just want to say a few words."
"Please tell me if you have anything to say!"
Thatcher glanced at everyone and said, "Regarding the issue of Du Yongxiao's awards, we have a plan here - you can refer to it!"
With that said, he took out a document and handed it to everyone.
"what?"
"Yeah, how to reward him?"
When everyone took it and took a look, they were immediately shocked and their expressions changed.
"How can it be?"
"Knighting him?"
Even Bruce, Lawrence, George and others were surprised!
It clearly says: Baron of the British Empire!
Although Baron is the lowest rank among knights, Du Yongxiao is Chinese!
It is unique for a Chinese to receive a knighthood in England!
Seeing everyone's surprise, Thatcher looked calm: "This is Mr. Sis's decision, you can refer to it!"
The tone is to ask everyone for reference, but in fact it is just arrogant. Who dares to disobey the future prime minister?
What's more -
There are still a lot of smart people on the scene.
The person who had an idea before suddenly stood up and said, "I think Mr. Sith's proposal is the best solution!"
Everyone looked at him together.
"Du Yongxiao, there is no reward! First, he is Chinese, second, he is only in his twenties, and third, he is now in England, not Hong Kong. If we don't reward him, it will seem unfair to us. If we reward him, The only option is to let him go back and become the police commissioner, but now--"
"If you give him a knighthood, then everything will be solved! A knighthood is just a kind of honor and has no real power. If you give it, just give it! It is better than letting him be the police chief! When the knighthood is completed, we only need to Just give him the title of Senior Superintendent! Send him back to Hong Kong, and we will have no more troubles here!"
A word to wake up the dreamer.
To be knighted or not to be an official?
good idea!
Nowadays, knights in the British Empire are different from the past and have fiefdoms. Now it is just a title and an honor. Even if it is given to someone with the surname Du, it will not hurt.
"Haha, Mr. Sith is still better!"
"Yes, no wonder he can become the future Prime Minister of our British Empire!"
Everyone admired Edward Sith's ability to control people.
"Then the matter is settled!"
"Okay, draft a document and submit it to Buckingham Palace immediately!"
"Speaking of which, the guy named Du also made money this time!"
"Yes, he is so young and Chinese. What will we call him when we see him in the future?"
"Sir Du!"
