The Deputy Speaker got a headache when he saw Alan.

Although this gentleman doesn't come to Congress often, he always does something every time he comes. He is dressed so formally today and speaks so actively, it's obvious that he is going to cause trouble!

In addition, the latest gossip reported in the newspapers in the past two days seemed to be vaguely related to this person. The Deputy Speaker frowned and said reluctantly: "Earl of Carmarthen, please speak."

To oppose a plan, you have to come up with convincing reasons and state the reasons. You can't oppose it blindly, so...

Since you are against it, you should explain the reasons for your opposition.

…

"I have nothing to say. Her Majesty the Queen has not held any proper celebrations in recent years, whether it's her birthday or various anniversaries. I went to Clarence House some time ago and found that the royal family didn't even have enough money to repair the palace. The current external economic environment is so bad, building a new aircraft carrier is a big expense. It would be better to use these funds to increase the royal budget and hold celebrations, so I oppose it!"

The Queen is tightening her belt, the royal palace lacks funds to repair, and the external economic environment is poor. Allen gave three reasons for his opposition and a "legitimate" way to use the money.

As soon as Allen finished speaking, a voice refuting Allen came from a distance.

"It is because of the poor external economic environment that we need to plan to build an aircraft carrier. How many supporting industries and workers are needed to build an aircraft carrier? How many jobs can this create? How much economic growth can it drive? In addition... having a new aircraft carrier will help us increase our regional influence in certain regions in the future. Humph... a few years ago, some countries in the Far East saw that we were weak and dared to seize our colonies."

…

"???"

Which old dog said this?

When Alan heard this, he had no problem with the first half, but he felt a little unhappy with the second half. "You are so shameless! Give me back your colony. Don't you know how that place came from?"

"Fuck you!"

Alan cursed subconsciously.

He had seen clearly that the person who was speaking was on his left, and the two were about ten meters apart. Judging from the position of the seats, the person who was speaking was not of a high rank.

When facing people of lower status than himself, Allen always strikes hard.

"You mean to say that building a house for His Majesty and holding a celebration can't create jobs? Can't holding a celebration increase people's confidence? Or do you think the royal family doesn't deserve more funds? Do we have to build aircraft carriers to boost employment? Holding a celebration can also boost the economy. The United States just finished fighting Iraq last year. Are you now rushing to build an aircraft carrier and want to start a war? We were seriously injured in the war for the Falkland Islands a few years ago. Have we recovered now? Do the people want us to increase our armaments? With this money, can't we do other things?"

…

The congressman who was scolded in public by Allen blushed as he listened to Allen's vulgar words. He wanted to continue to refute, but when he thought about the reputation of this gentleman, he didn't dare to do so. He was really afraid that if this gentleman got angry, he would beat him in public!

Their Hill family has a criminal record!

Facing such a notorious reckless man, there is no need to argue with him, let alone make an enemy with him. Being targeted by such a person will only bring lingering troubles. Besides... this person has brought up the queen several times, and if he continues to argue, it will definitely be disadvantageous to him.

The congressman thought for a moment, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Then... I, I agree with the Earl of Carmarthen's opinion. I also object."

…

Since he didn't want to provoke Allen, he admitted his mistake decisively, then turned around and started to support him.

Don't make enemies...

The nobles are shameless. Since they don't want to make enemies, they just act cowardly and directly express that they have been convinced and start to oppose with Alan.

The Deputy Speaker frowned as he watched this scene, then glanced at Alan, who had a serious face and what he said did make some sense.

Allen himself is a eunuch in the royal family. In addition, he made an anti-war movie some time ago. As a peace-loving and anti-war activist, he could have opposed the increase of armaments. It is reasonable for him to oppose such a plan.

The deputy speaker is not supported by anyone and is only responsible for presiding over the meeting.

But some of the congressmen present didn't care at all whether an aircraft carrier was built or not, while others, like Allen, came to the meeting just to gild themselves and have fun, and they just followed the crowd.

Even if some people had objections, after what Alan said, if they stood up to refute it, it would seem that they were hostile to the Queen, and no one dared to do so.

After Alan's few words, the whole audience started to whisper.

…

Alan saw the Duke of Kent in front of him turned around and looked at him happily, and winked at him.

Except for Boss Cha, no one in the royal family cares much about military affairs.

Anyway, it's rotten now, so it doesn't matter whether the aircraft carrier is built earlier or later, the effect will be the same.

Just like what Allen said, since the external economic environment is not good, let's not build it for now. If we have the money... we can distribute it to the royal family to increase their annual pocket money.

Now that he is doing this, if he meets someone who understands, he will know what to do.

This plan to build additional aircraft carriers will definitely pass... sooner or later.

But how to get through it is a complicated matter. Some parliamentarians don't care about these things, while some do.

For example, Allen.

Want to build an aircraft carrier?

Then I have to grab some too.

For example, if certain steel materials are needed, he has a tinplate factory at home, and there are also steel mills in Australia. Can these factories get a batch of orders?

Regardless of the amount, you have to plan for it. If there is no profit sharing, why would you build a new aircraft carrier?

Only a project that can benefit everyone is a good project.

Don't you want to play with me, Master Allen?

Then I will oppose you!

Alan will not agree until someone offers him a bribe. Anyway, he is not in a hurry and will just take his time.

The atmosphere in the conference hall was a little solemn for a few minutes. Seeing that no one stood up to speak, the Vice Speaker decided to put the proposal on hold for the time being. Anyway, such a proposal would not be implemented without several years of wrangling.

That’s all for today.

…

“Alan…”

During the lunch break, Duke Angus quietly followed Alan and the two walked towards the parking lot.

We are all veterans. Meeting in the afternoon?

Who's still here this afternoon?

"What's wrong?"

Alan held up the hem of his robe with his right hand. The congressman's special uniform looked bright red, but the style of the clothes was a bit like a gown. It didn't feel much when he was sitting, but it was a bit troublesome when he was walking. He needed to hold up the hem of the clothes with his hand, which felt a bit like walking in a square step.

"You..." Angus sighed. His political awareness was not very high. He often came to the parliament because he listened to Alan's advice and showed up more often to make up for the influence he lacked in Britain during these years. It was not to make him become so powerful, but to let others know that there is such a person as him when he encounters problems in the future and dare not touch him easily.

So... Angus was a little unsure about Alan's boldness in opposing the review plan submitted by the House of Commons, but he didn't know how to persuade him. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "How about... come to my place and have a chat?"

"I'm not going. I'm going back to rest."

Alan glanced at Angus slightly. Being fat has its advantages. The Duke of Angus's round beer belly can stretch and fill up his parliamentary robe very well without affecting his walking.

Well... this kind of loose clothes is really suitable for people with a fatter figure.

Seeing the slightly worried look on Angus' face, Alan was slightly stunned, and then he remembered why Angus had that expression.

"Angus... don't worry, this is all normal procedure. You'll understand it as you get more exposure to it. It's okay. Go back and have a good rest. I may not come tomorrow."

"Oh... okay."

Angus looked at Alan's confident face and breathed a sigh of relief. He patted him on the shoulder, and the two parted at the entrance of the parking lot and went back to their homes.

…

The traffic in London was quite congested at noon, but fortunately the traffic from the city to the suburbs was not bad. Although it was congested, it was not completely blocked and could still move forward intermittently. When we arrived at the manor, it was already past one in the afternoon.

Alan looked at the road outside the manor gate and saw several unfamiliar Bentleys parked.

This is not his car. Is someone here looking for him at this time?

"Let's see who's coming to visit later. Haven't you received any visiting cards in the past few days?"

"No young master..."

"Um……"

…

Alan's motorcade slowly drove past the Bentleys and went straight into the manor.

Just as I was about to go upstairs to change clothes, Xiao Shitou came trotting over to report.

"Master...it's Dodi's father. He came to visit you in person."

"oh?"

Dodi?

Alan was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered that this was the pretty boy's father.

Hmm…

He almost forgot about this matter. It has been several days since he asked Xiao Shitou to go to the department store to ask for it, right?

Isn't this my biological father?

It's been so many days since you came here?

snort……

Allen snorted coldly and asked, "Didn't I ask you to chop off one of his hands every day and give it to his father? Isn't this old guy in a hurry at all? How many days has it been? Four or five days, right? Is it that you didn't do it well, or is it that Dodi is not his biological son?"

Little Stone sniffed and said awkwardly, "Master... I did as I was told, but they haven't replied yet. I had the goods delivered, definitely delivered. Today is the fifth day, and today's trees haven't been chopped yet... They've all been chopped down."

Oh……

Listening to Xiao Shitou's complaints, Alan found that he was completely confused about these people. In the past, when he scared others, he might not succeed every time, but as long as such brutal means were used, the other party would quickly surrender. But what happened this time?

The other party only surrendered after his son’s hands and feet were chopped off?

What did you do this morning?

"He came in person?"

"Yes... those cars outside are his convoy. He came here early in the morning to wait for you, but we left early in the morning and happened to go in the opposite direction."

"Go, ask him to come over, eh? I'll go and meet him in the yard."

Alan wanted to ask the old man to come in and talk, but after thinking about it, he felt a little disgusted with these Egyptians, so he decided not to let them into his own house.

…

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency... I finally see you. Please let my son go. I am willing to exchange my other properties for my son."

An old man who looks very similar to Dodi, with naturally curly black hair that has turned gray in some places. With his messy hair and very bad complexion, it can be seen that the old guy may not be in good condition in the past two days.

When he saw Alan coming out, he trotted over and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Alan. While stretching out his hands, he bent over and begged for explanation in a low voice.

…

"Oh? I told you a long time ago, right? Why did you wait until today to come?"

Alan put his hands behind his back and ignored the hands stretched out by the old man. Not everyone was qualified to shake hands with him, and Alan felt that the old man in front of him was not worthy.

Looking at the suit without any brand logo on this old guy, hmm... the fabric looks good, it should be a hand-made British suit. The clothes are meticulously taken care of, and except for his messy hairstyle, he looks like a gentleman in other places.

"Sir... I want to see you in person, but..."

Mohammed Farhedai had no words to express his pain. On the first day he received his son's severed hand, Mohammed, who saw such a scene for the first time, was so overwhelmed that he had a heart attack.

His family rushed him to the hospital, where he received emergency treatment and was saved.

In his past life in Egypt, he was used to being high and mighty. He had never seen such a scene before.

After two whole days of rescue, Mohammed, who had just opened his eyes, looked at his son's other hand and foot that had been sent to him over the past two days!

Faced with this extremely brutal double blow, Mohammed had just opened his eyes for a short while when he had another heart attack.

It’s not that he didn’t want to save his son, but he almost lost his life.

Until last night, when he saw his son's other foot, Mohammed could no longer stay there. Now both his hands and feet were gone, which showed how cruel this person was. If he didn't come after today, what would the other party send?

An arm? Or his son's head?

…

Listening to the old man's humble explanation, Alan felt nothing in his heart.

This kind of person is so cowardly in front of him, that's because he has the means and he is the main battlefield. When he was in Egypt before, Alan didn't believe that this old guy was a good man. People who can struggle to get such a fortune are not simple!

"So, not only did you fail to get what I asked for, but the way I did it scared you so much that you had a heart attack and went to the hospital. Now you want me to compensate you?"

Alan looked at the old guy with a smile.

"No, no, no... Sir, I have never blamed you. That department store is the core asset of our family. Sir... Can you please show some mercy? My son is already like this, and you have let out a sigh of relief. Can you allow me to exchange other assets for my son? Sir, please rest assured that I will definitely satisfy you."

When Mohammed Fahey heard Alan's words, his heartbeat slowed down and he quickly explained what compensation he meant. He didn't dare to ask for compensation from this person.

Before he came last night, he asked people to inquire around. He didn't know the specific information of this person, but there was one thing that many people advised him to do, which was not to provoke this person. This person had a hot temper, a very dark personality, and was very cruel. If you got involved with him, just give in quickly. In short, with his current connections and social status, he could not defeat this person at all.
