There are not many things to pay attention to when leading the team to the Commonwealth Games this time.

Allen was not worried about the ugly incident that occurred at the Seoul Olympics, where some players even assaulted referees.

Although the Commonwealth Games is large in scale, the participants are all our own people. If they continue to use disgusting means, it will not be a question of who to go to for justice...

Moreover, although there are many "regions" participating, there are also many lazy ones.

Some teams only have a few people coming each time, and they are the kind that are obviously old, weak, sick and disabled.

For contestants like these, their purpose of participating in the sports meeting is not to compete, but to attract investment!

…

The entire Commonwealth is so large that if some places are doing well, there are bound to be places where things are not doing well.

Those places that are not doing well would like to take advantage of this opportunity, while there are many people and opportunities, to see if they can attract a few suckers to come back and invest.

And these athletes, the investment agents, really go on the field... they can't do anything.

For the entire Commonwealth Movement, the biggest beneficiary is the organizer.

Because the events of the Commonwealth Games... are very different from those of the Olympics. There are not as many events as in the Olympics. They are all traditional British competitive events, and the venue requirements are not as high as those of the Olympics. So every time... if a city is well built, it can easily take on the hosting task, and the event will be over in just ten days.

During the short ten days of competition, the consumption and publicity from tourists and so many teams can greatly promote the development of the city, so... Overall, although Great Britain is not doing well now, the competition for the right to host the Commonwealth Games is still very fierce.

…

"Haha, how was your rest last night? Are you satisfied with your accommodation?"

About 1.80 meters tall, a little thin, with an extremely receding hairline, an M-shaped back-combed hairstyle, and a dark blue striped suit, Canada's Governor General Raymond smiled and shook Alan's hand vigorously.

"Satisfied, thoughtful!"

Alan withdrew his hand as soon as it touched his, maintaining his usual arrogant personality.

Raymond was not surprised either, as he had rich experience in dealing with nobles.

Today... before the opening ceremony officially started, he came to the hotel to meet Allen. As the host, he had to welcome the guests from above.

…

As per usual, Raymond started by chatting with Alan about family matters. This was the British way of communication. Although there were no cameras in the reception room, the two of them were politicians of different ranks. If it was too formal, it wouldn't work... and if it was too relaxed, it wouldn't work either.

But as they chatted, Raymond felt a little uncomfortable. He found that he could chat with Allen. The other person had a wide range of interests and could catch up on any topic. But because they talked about too many things, whenever they talked about where to go, Allen would tell him what fun things there were, what delicious food there was, and then talk about what beauties there were...

This topic... made the elderly Governor Raymond a little overwhelmed. He thought about how he felt like he was in prison every day, while the person opposite him... went wherever he wanted every day. He even came to Canada the day before the opening ceremony. This... was too cool.

"Why……"

Governor Raymond sighed and prepared to change the subject and chat for a while... He was almost old and had reached the age of spring.

"Why is the Governor sighing?"

Alan was a little puzzled. They were having a great chat, so why did he sigh?

"Sir... I am almost done with my term of office. You have no idea how chaotic things have been here over the past two years."

"oh?"

Alan's eyes flickered. Was this...she treating him as her own family member and preparing to file a complaint?

Sometimes, these governors cannot tell the Queen directly what they want to say, so they will pass the message through other random things. Alan has heard of such things, so when Governor Raymond said this, Alan became excited.

"Last year, two presidents were replaced..." Raymond pointed and continued, "The one in power now is from the Liberal Party, that old guy Chrétien... Oh..."

"oh……"

Alan frowned. He had heard about this occasionally. It was said that it was very lively here last year. He didn't know whether they were fighting too fiercely or what. Alan was not clear about the details, but the result... It was obvious that the Liberal Party won in the end.

The Liberal Party here is one of the two major political parties in Canada. The other is the Conservative Party. Of these two parties... the former is more pro-American and has always advocated binding the economy and people's livelihood to the United States.

In other words, I just want to follow Amei!

The Conservative Party, on the other hand, is more pro-British and can be considered... traditional old people.

Now, the Conservative Party’s leadership term hasn’t even ended yet, but two leaders have been replaced in one year. How fierce must the fight be?

It's like playing house.

…

There are some essential differences between Canada and Australia.

The root problem is that in the early days, this place was divided and managed by Britain and France. After Britain completely took over the Canadian region, the French descendants living here were still there, so the French and British in Canada can be said to be coexisting and mixing together.

Whether it is language or habits, there are differences between the two sides.

Take the national anthem for example. Canada has two types, one is the English national anthem and the other is the French national anthem. Even the national anthem is divided into two types, let alone other things. The same goes for the governor general. Even though it is now under the control of Britain, the tradition of Canada's governor general was that if one governor general was of British descent, the next governor general had to be of French descent.

And now the governor is of British descent.

He is naturally close to Allen, so he will choose the right time to complain to Allen depending on the situation. He may not even know whether Allen will be of any help to him. Anyway, his term is about to end, but he still has to complain.

…

Alan listened to Governor Raymond's intermittent talk about what was happening here. On the surface, everything seemed calm, but secretly... Alan's back teeth were almost broken.

He has never thought of developing his career in Canada. He has made movies here before, but they were mostly just for fun. He has never thought about anything deeper.

The main reason is that he is also annoyed by the many things going on here.

But now listening to what Governor Raymond said, damn!

What a missed opportunity!

Now that the Liberal Party is in power, what's the point of talking about this?

In addition, Raymond's term of office is about to end, and the next governor-general will definitely be of French descent. The current leader of the Liberal Party is also of French descent. What the hell...they are a family, which makes things even more difficult.

I didn't expect the situation to become so serious.

Alan squinted his eyes and thought wildly. He simply didn't believe that there were no Americans behind this kind of thing.

But now... on the surface, no matter how they mess up, everything is still within the rules of the game.

Just like a lot of things Allen did in the past, although they seemed excessive, he did not cross the line and they were all within the rules, so no one could do anything to him.

It is obvious that people are using the same method now.

…

However... after hearing these words, Alan was a little confused. He and Governor Raymond did not have a very good relationship. It could be said that they were not familiar with each other. But they were obviously so unfamiliar with each other. When they just met, even if there were reasons for their positions, saying these words was somewhat a bit too intimate. It was a bit... I didn't know what he wanted to do.

Do you think he wants to pick something?

His term will end in more than half a year, so this is unnecessary.

But is there any other purpose besides this?

Not to mention that he was talking about this topic as a normal topic of conversation. People of their status rarely chat with people they are not familiar with, even when they are talking in normal times.

…

"Sir, my term is coming to an end. As you know, it is better to do less than more for some things. But... there are some things that I think need to be planned in advance, but it is not convenient for me to do them."

"???"

Alan raised his eyebrows and looked into Governor Raymond's eyes. Is this... the main point of the drama?

"You want... me to help you?"

"Haha, Your Excellency... I just feel ashamed of your Majesty's appreciation of me. I can't let the people of the Liberal Party have it so easy."

Governor Raymond patted the armrest of the sofa. He didn't want to admit that he was helping. In his opinion, it was just because of Allen's fame and character that he wanted to take advantage of Allen occasionally to add some chips to his political career after leaving office.

As for whether Alan will be used by him, that... is not important!

As long as he made certain situations clear, he believed that as a eunuch of the royal family, Allen would not be able to help himself!

In the end, the best outcome was that he accepted Allen's help without having to owe him any favors.

…

"Hehe... We don't want to get involved with the Liberal Party if it doesn't make things easy for them. As for you... I suggest you don't get too involved."

Allen directly ignored Governor Raymond's words. He has been cheating people for so many years, and his life motto is not to release the eagle until you see the rabbit. It is better to miss it than to be careless!

Things like fishing are basically ineffective for Master Allen, unless you use the beauty trap.

…

“…”

Governor Raymond scratched the armrest of the sofa with his right hand, leaving several deep marks on the velvet armrest of the sofa cover.

"Your Excellency... the Liberal Party is very powerful now. After I leave office, they will continue to run the economy for a few years. Then... we British people will have fewer opportunities to make a name for ourselves."

"Oh? According to the rules, there will be one British and one French term. What else can they do?"

Facing Allen's disdainful gaze, Governor General Raymond pointed to the south and said, "If they can influence the Liberal Party, they will be able to influence their ideas in the future. Canada has now obtained the power to amend the constitution granted by the Queen. What if... they change it?"

"???"

Alan raised his eyebrows. He had never thought about these things. Canada is such a broken place. How could he have the time to think about the problems here?

But now that Governor Raymond has said this, this trend... given the nature of the Americans, it is very likely.

After a moment's silence, Alan said uncertainly, "Can the Conservatives allow them to change it?"

"Ha, that won't happen. But sir, now we emphasize political diversity, equality, and openness. There is a lot of room for maneuver. What if they... don't change it directly, but call for giving more rights to ethnic minorities? For example, Indians, etc.? Anyway, as long as they don't let the British come to power, their goal will be achieved."

Governor Raymond described a possibility to Allen with a smile.

"???"

This possibility was something Allen had never thought of. Following this line of thought, if the next governor and the leader are both of French descent, and after they step down, if they support two pro-American minorities, then this power would be equivalent to... still being in their hands!

This way, you can also gain a great reputation.

As long as the minority survives one term, the next term will be replaced by a French person. This...

This is equivalent to replacing the British power space out of thin air.

The method is quite dirty, but think about it, the possibility is quite high.

…

Seeing Alan lost in thought, his expression was no longer so peaceful. Governor Raymond smiled with satisfaction, stood up and clapped his hands to interrupt Alan's thoughts and said, "Well, the opening ceremony is about to begin. I still have to go over to arrange some things. Your Excellency...see you later!"

"Well... I won't send you off."

"Haha, how dare I trouble you to send me off? Please take a rest first."

…

Alan squinted his eyes and supported his chin with his right hand, watching Governor Raymond close the door and walk out. Looking at the closed door, he was a little confused, because the problems that Governor Raymond had just told him about would not happen now, but would happen at least five years later, which is... around 1999.

There is no need to worry about this problem now, but in the future...if Britain does not want Canada to completely become a follower of the Americans, then...it has to start thinking of contingency plans now.

This matter seems to have nothing to do with him. The ones who should be most worried about this situation should be the royal family and the House of Commons.

But...why did Governor Raymond tell him this?

Because there is profit in it!

But Alan didn't understand how to do it for a while.

"Little Stone!"

Alan was getting a little annoyed with the thought, so he shouted and Xiao Shitou outside the door pushed it open and walked in.

"Master?"

"Why hasn't Monica come yet?"

"Uh... when we contacted Miss Monica, she was attending an event in France. She... can't arrive until today. Now... um..."

Little Stone raised his hand, glanced at his watch and continued, "Ms. Monica's flight should be landing soon. I have sent someone to pick her up."

"Well, prepare the car! I'm going to the airport too."

Alan clapped his hands and set the itinerary.

"Ah? Master... the opening ceremony is about to begin..."

Little Stone was a little confused.

"No! What's so good about the opening ceremony? Go and make arrangements."

"Ohhh…Okay."

…

Light-colored jeans, a black lace short-sleeved top, a very thin sun-protective clothing on the outside, a small parasol with light blue flowers, a pair of large sunglasses, and a small shoulder bag. This is all Monica's outfit. As for a suitcase or something like that, she doesn't have one.

Glancing at a sign held by a burly man in the distance, Monica gestured with her hand, but she did not quicken her pace at all and walked towards that direction at a leisurely pace.

"You're coming to pick me up? Where's the car?"

"Hello Ms. Monica, our boss is here to pick you up personally. He's waiting for you in the parking lot."

"Um?"

Monica's hand holding the umbrella suddenly froze. Boss... Alan came to pick her up in person?

"Take me there now!"

"Okay, follow me."

…

"Why did you come to pick me up? Don't you want to watch the opening ceremony?"

Looking at Alan in the car, Monica was a little bit unbelievable.

"Haha, are you surprised? Compared to you, what's so good about the opening ceremony? Get in the car, let's go home!"
