Capell didn't dare to refute. He was just a butler. Even though Sir Allen sometimes respected him when they met, he would even address him as Sir Capell.
But he knew very well that these titles and attitudes were all because of his position as Boss Cha's butler. After all, he was just a butler. What qualifications did he have to take the initiative to call and question an earl?
Now he called Boss Cha, because he couldn't do the thing, so he was ready to see what Boss Cha said.
After living for so many years, if Capell still can't tell who is the master and who is the servant, he can't be the crown prince's butler.
…
Boss Cha lost his temper and reacted, but he didn't say anything before he apologized. He thought for a moment and said, "I see. I'll call him to confirm the situation."
"Okay, I understand your highness, you go ahead and get busy then."
When Capel heard that Boss Cha had finally agreed to the task, he was finally relieved. It was early in the morning, and there were German troops and war, which was a bit too exciting for an old guy of his age.
…
"Okay, you've worked hard, you guys can go out first!"
The wound was finally cleaned. Alan forced a slight smile on his face and asked Xiao Shitou to take the person away. He then signaled with his eyes to the bald director of Carmarthen Hospital to stay.
After everyone in the bus had left, Alan hissed softly and took a look at his bandaged leg. It was so damn unlucky.
I had originally wanted to play a game of openly oppressing innocent people, but I didn't expect that Master Allen would become lame before he could even accomplish his goal...
After glaring at the bald dean again, Allen said, "Have you arranged everything I told you to do?"
"Your Excellency...I am almost ready."
"Um……"
Alan looked at the bald dean who couldn't even fart when he was slapped, and didn't want to argue with him any more.
It's not a big deal.
…
In the past few years, Allen has been using the shell of Carmarthen Public Hospital to obtain medical equipment from London, and then resold it and shipped it to Gambia for use in the medical institution he opened.
Later, the small clinic in Gambia gradually transformed from an ordinary two-story clinic into one of the largest hospitals in Gambia.
What do they rely on?
Is he a famous doctor?
No, no, no...it is one of the most advanced medical equipment in all of West Africa!
These are all obtained by Alan through hard work every year by asking the Welsh Assembly to help him. Every piece of equipment represents Alan’s hard work!
…
Later, all the equipment in Gambia was ready. When the bald dean thought that Allen would spare him, Allen's new plan came again.
He wants to turn Carmarthen Public Hospital into his own semi-private hospital.
Regardless of anything else, as long as there is medical equipment in London, we have to come here first, regardless of whether this rural place in Carmarthen can use it or not.
In just one or two years, all medical equipment in Carmarthen Town Public Hospital was replaced, and even a lot of new equipment was added.
Carmarthen is a town of only tens of thousands of people. The small hospital in the town is ranked among the top three in the whole of Wales in terms of medical equipment, not to mention the medical staff.
All of Wales!
And where do the old medical equipment that has been replaced go?
Of course, they were shipped to Africa and sold...
Anyway, the money went into Allen's pocket.
The London Assembly has brought up this matter more than once, but Allen always argues that the environment in Carmarthenshire, Wales is poor, the average person's physical condition is weak, and medical resources need to be strengthened.
Anyway, just give me the equipment, what’s the point of arguing?
It seems a bit unbecoming for a count to argue over such a small matter.
But medical devices, especially the most advanced ones, such as MRI and color ultrasound equipment, cannot be bought with money. The manufacturers' production equipment is almost running out of steam, and the destination of the machines has been determined before they are even produced.
If we rely entirely on allocation from above, we’ll have to wait until 2030 or later.
By that time, Allen wouldn't know whether he was dead or not, and he couldn't afford to wait. He would rather get these devices first, even if they had to gather dust in the hospital. Allen didn't want to wait until he needed them and they were unavailable.
If he was really sick, how would he have time to fly to London?
Isn’t it most convenient to have a hospital near your home?
…
So… in recent years, the equipment at Carmarthen Public Hospital has been updated very quickly and the accounts are very messy. Although these things were obtained through formal procedures, they cannot withstand in-depth inspection.
But the problem is here and it has to be solved. In order to solve the problem, Alan came up with a good idea!
So... in order to solve the problem once and for all, Allen took advantage of this opportunity to make a movie and let the bald dean burn down the hospital's finance office.
All the account books were burned, leaving no evidence and everything was just an accident!
There were no computer records back then, so the account books and file books were gone, everything was gone.
Want to continue checking?
Then you guys check it slowly...
…
Looking at the listless bald dean, Alan was ready to give him some pointers.
"The account books were burned, and all the records were gone...including your own things. If you have anything here, you can mix it in this fire and make it disappear together. Do you understand what I mean?"
"???"
Hearing Alan's words, the bald dean's eyes lit up.
It’s not that he hasn’t thought of other crooked ways, but he doesn’t dare in front of Alan!
As the director of a hospital who is so close to this gentleman, Bald Yard is quite familiar with Alan's character.
But because he was familiar with his character, he didn't dare to do that.
Even if he was not greedy for a single cent, he would not dare to do anything small. The people of the Hill family were very cruel!
But now…
Does this gentleman mean to show leniency and let his subordinates off the hook as well?
Since my own things can also disappear with the help of this fire...
If I don't take some money when I have this opportunity, wouldn't I be letting down Mr. Allen's kindness? !
…
"I understand, Your Excellency! I will go back and check the preparations again and execute them this afternoon!"
The bald dean was in high spirits this time. The old man seemed to have suddenly become ten years younger. After bowing, he hurriedly got off the bus and trotted to call the driver to go back to the hospital.
…
With a sigh, the troubles at home were finally settled one by one. Once the hospital's account books were burned, the export relationship with Gambia was cut off from the source.
It will be a new chapter from now on.
Just as he was about to go down to see how the filming of the German army entering the village was going, Little Stone knocked on the door, poked his head out of the car door, glanced at Alan and said, "Master...your phone number."
“Who is it?”
Alan stretched himself, carefully sat down again, lifted his injured leg to the side, and held out his hand to answer the phone.
…
"It seems so. I didn't recognize it. It was a man. He seemed young from his voice. He called you by your name directly and in a very loud voice!"
Xiao Shitou and Boss Cha have only met a few times, so it is normal that he is not familiar with his voice, but Boss Cha is used to it. He uses the same tone whenever he calls anyone, asking whoever is on the phone to answer!
He didn't even say his own name, and his tone was aggressive, so Little Stone thought it was some noble or elder contacting Alan. After all, not many people knew this private number.
…
"oh?"
Alan picked up the phone, wondering who was calling him so early in the morning.
"Hello? I'm Alan, who are you?"
"It's me! Where are you now?"
As soon as he heard the voice, Allen knew who was on the other side, and coupled with the tone...
Why is Boss Cha so angry so early in the morning?
Allen coaxed carefully, "Ah?! Your Highness... Why are you calling me so early in the morning? Me? I'm..."
Alan subconsciously lowered his head and looked out of the bus window.
There were still a few tanks parked at the entrance of the town with their engines turned on. Apart from firing a few shots at the beginning, these tanks were just standing there posing.
Thinking that Carmarthen Town was right outside his home, Allen didn't know why Boss Cha asked this, so he simply replied, "Your Highness... I'm right outside my home."
…
"At your doorstep? Did you know that some people say that a German army had appeared in Carmarthen and was attacking the town? They also said that the German army had fired at their planes. Did you do that?!"
"ah?"
What the hell?
Alan looked at his injured leg. Why did bad things happen one after another today? Was this a bad omen?
Still no opening ceremony?
What fired at the plane?
Why……?
Allen suddenly remembered that just before the filming started, there seemed to be a silly plane flying over his head...
Who the hell is this?
You flew in early in the morning to watch me film a movie, and then went to complain to Boss Cha?
What a psycho!
Who fired at you?
That was a tank firing at the town, and the anti-tank gun next to it hadn't moved at all!
Besides, can’t you even tell the difference between hitting upwards and hitting forwards?
…
"No...it's not me. I'm filming a movie."
Alan's tone also carried a hint of grievance.
"Your Highness, I got up at around five to prepare for the shoot. We spent a long time preparing for today's big scene, including costumes and props, and getting the cooperation of the townspeople. I... I'm also injured. Who is so crazy to complain to you?"
“…”
When Allen said this, Boss Cha frowned while holding the phone.
"Injured? Then...be careful. Ah...let me ask again."
What Alan said doesn't sound like a lie, which means the people at the weather station are making a fuss out of nothing. Haven't they ever seen someone making a movie?
In order to falsely report "military intelligence", he had to make a phone call in person to inquire.
Boss Cha hung up the phone, patted the co-pilot seat and said, "Call Capel back later and tell him that Allen is filming a movie and there's nothing else to do. Also... check that damn weather station and transfer the crew that reported the situation today and their station chief to..."
Boss Cha was filled with rage. This was the group of people. They knew nothing and would report the smallest things immediately. He almost misunderstood Alan.
Alan didn't cause any trouble. He was just filming a movie outside his house. Yet he called him early in the morning and yelled at the child. The more he thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed.
"Move them north, to a deserted island!"
After thinking about it, Britain is so small, if it is not impossible to transfer them directly to Scotland, he would have to transfer these people to a deserted island in the North Sea to have some fun. Go and see for me if there are any German troops in the North Sea.
"Okay, Your Highness. I'll make a note of that."
…
“…”
Looking at the hung up phone, Alan was a little confused. Just a call early in the morning, and that was it?
Who did I offend?
"Help me up!"
With the help of Xiao Shitou, I took a few gentle steps and felt that there was nothing serious about my leg. It didn't hurt when I was injured, but it was a little painful to clean the sawdust from the wound.
Now the pain has passed and it doesn’t hurt anymore. It wasn’t a serious injury anyway.
…
Alan stood at the door of the bus, holding a telescope and looking at the messy town of Carmarthen with envy on his face.
Tsk tsk tsk…
Look... those actors playing the German soldiers were so into their roles, they grabbed the man in the house and walked out, threw him to the ground, and kicked him.
Although there was a camera not far away, the man lying on the ground and being kicked was dazed.
Is this what we agreed to do to cooperate in making a movie?
Is this really a movie?
Why are you still hitting people?
Looking at the camera pointed at him, the man was a little confused, then turned his head to look around. The usually quiet town of Carmarthen was now filled with crying sounds on the streets, women's screams, men's wailing after being beaten, and children's crying. The whole town was in chaos!
…
Some people were quite into the role and tried to resist when they saw the German soldiers breaking in. But they were slapped in the face and were stunned. They were pushed and kicked and thrown onto the street in a daze.
Even so, Allen specifically instructed to be gentle, mainly for the filming effect. He wanted the feeling of crying and panicking to be real.
Now it seems that Carmarthenshire is indeed a place of outstanding people and every resident is a veteran actor, and their acting skills are pretty good.
There was one person lying on the ground holding his calf and crying miserably, it looked like the real thing.
…
“Not bad, not bad!”
Alan didn't go in either. His image was a little poor at the moment. He just held up the telescope to look at the overall effect. By then, the shooting array composed of several camera positions would need to cut out the bloopers, and then intersperse close-ups and long shots.
With the current situation, if the movie is made in black and white, people will believe it as a documentary shot back then.
Turning his head, Alan glanced at the Koreans gathered in a group waiting in the distance, his eyes flickering.
According to historical records collected in Ceylon, it was the fundraising committee and the local garrison that did this.
And Canadian residents are pure victims.
But now that the Governor General of Canada is not getting along, Allen is not going to indulge him.
It was originally an anti-war movie, but now... at Allen's instruction, the script has been slightly modified.
This seemingly farce was turned into a deeper expression of human nature.
Anything in a movie that touches on human nature will appear grand and noble. Conversely, if it is too profound (nonsense and incomprehensible to the audience), that is another matter.
Now the new script is that after the residents in Canada experienced the immersive German "invasion" exercise and felt the dire situation, they honestly donated money to support Britain's military industry.
In this way, Canadian officials looked at the fundraising committee and saw how much money it was making, and it was as if they saw the door to a new world opening to them.
Since civilians can be frightened into handing over their money, they can follow the lead of the British fundraising committees and try similar actions elsewhere.
Anyway, it’s the common people’s money, so whoever makes money from it doesn’t matter.
