Chapter 728 Is this living in a prison?
Xiao Peng sat in the car: "Hasten, my friend's safety..."
"Mr. Xiao, please rest assured! There are a large number of people there to ensure their safety," said the man in the suit. His name was Hasten Palmesson. Their two brothers sat in the front seat, one driving and the other in the passenger seat. The brothers were named Hasten Palmesson and Bjursten Palmesson, typical Swedish names.
You could say they were rather lazy, as they usually named their brothers by simply changing the first syllable of their names.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng fell silent. Who is the person behind this?
What is certain is that this person is a very powerful person in Sweden.
Don’t say that putting drugs in the hotel can be done by simply bribing the chef. It is impossible that so many people went to his hot spring hotel without noticing. The only explanation is that everyone in the hotel was bribed.
The convoy traveled north to a place called Trollhättan, located on the banks of the Göta River near the southern end of Lake Vänern. However, due to its small size and small population, it was affectionately called "Special Village" by the Chinese in Sweden.
When the car entered a building, Xiao Peng's first reaction was: Damn, we're going to jail!
This is not Xiao Peng's imagination, but this is a 19th-century German castle-style building. It seems that all prisons in Europe are of this style.
And this problem is not only in Europe, the Germans also brought this castle-style prison to China.
There's a prison like this in China, in the coastal city of Qingdao. When the Germans invaded, they built a prison there. After the Germans left, the Japanese continued to use it as a prison. Even after China was founded, it continued to be used as a prison. The building served as a prison for 95 years and is now a legal education base and a national key cultural relic protection site.
The building in front of him reminded Xiao Peng of the prison: high walls with watchtowers and searchlights around them, and three buildings in the middle arranged in a "品" shape, with a large one in the middle and two smaller ones on both sides.
Xiao Peng became even more suspicious that this was a prison!
The car stopped in front of the large building in the middle, and Biusten, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened the door for Xiao Peng.
As Xiao Peng stepped out of the car, the door opened and two rows of people emerged. They wore the white wigs common among British judges, and wore blue double-breasted trench coats, the style of admirals from centuries past. Underneath, they wore high-waisted trousers, primarily yellow, with light blue trim, matching vests, and high-top white boots. This look was truly unique.
Despite the strange appearances, Xiao Peng guessed who had invited him! Aren't blue and yellow the colors of the Swedish flag? The invitation might be from the Swedish royal family, known as the "poorest royal family in the world." He just didn't know if it was the main family or a branch family.
The four Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark all have royal families, with the Swedish royal family being the most famous. After all, the Swedish royal family is the only one on the planet that pays taxes. While the Norwegian royal family might also rank among the poorest royal families, they don't pay taxes.
Of course, anyone who believes this ranking is a fool. While there are legal restrictions on the royal family, particularly regarding their property and spending, they are still supported by taxpayers. Their housekeepers, gardeners, nannies, security, housing, transportation, clothing, and more are all paid for. Add to that the "royal" aura, and how can they be called "poor"?
Xiao Peng doesn’t even dare to say that he is richer than them!
Look at their demeanor! Just to meet me, they've dispatched at least 50 or 60 security personnel, including their hostel staff. And with that kind of attitude, you call them 'poor'? Isn't that an international joke? If everyone is truly 'equal' as the Swedish royal family claims, why do they still retain their royal titles?
The Swedish royal family donated a large number of properties under their names, such as castles, to the country. It seemed selfless, but in fact they did not dare to keep them: after all, they also had to pay taxes. How much tax would they have to pay if they kept these properties?
Just like the great leader said: If the land is saved and the people are lost, all the land is lost; if the people are saved and the land is lost, both the people and the land are saved. The Swedish royal family has won the hearts of the people through this kind of royal family, and now the Swedish royal family has an extremely high position in the hearts of the Swedish people.
Europeans like to stand on the moral high ground and accuse others, just like the program on British Channel 4 that mocked the Swiss. The slogans were shouted loudly, but when they were asked to help refugees, they all shook their heads and said no!
The Swedes and Swiss are very similar in this respect. They used to claim to be "permanently neutral countries" while selling weapons everywhere. Even now, many people still think that these two countries are "permanently neutral countries." In fact, Switzerland joined the United Nations in 2002 and Sweden joined the European Union in 1995, so they are not considered "permanently neutral countries" or even "neutral countries." However, they have never clarified this point. Even now, most of their citizens think they are still "neutral countries" and are complacent about it.
There are only five "permanently neutral" countries in the world: Austria, the Vatican, Costa Rica, Liechtenstein, and Ireland. Sweden and Switzerland are not among them. Whether they are "neutral" or not depends on whether it serves their interests.
When Xiao Peng entered the room and saw an old man dressed in formal attire, he first confirmed: this was not the King of Sweden.
The King of Sweden appears on TV quite frequently. After all, he goes there to present the Nobel Prizes every year. In Xiao Peng's eyes, there are only two people in the world who can hold the "Mediterranean" hairstyle, one is Jason Statham and the other is King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, to invite you in this way," the well-dressed old man said. "My name is Hulmerson Sommeret, the father of Tilty Madeline Amari Therese Alice Silvia."
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded. This was the first time he knew Tilti's full name. Oh my god, this name is too long! And can't you guys be like the Chinese, where the daughter takes the same surname as the father?
They say that men and women are equal in the West, bah!
Many princesses don't have surnames in their names because they don't have inheritance rights. King Carl XVI of Sweden was praised for two policies after he came to power: one was changing the system of succession from male to female to a system of sequential succession, which led to the creation of a crown princess; the other was that royal family members must marry commoners.
Nowadays, all the princesses and princes in Switzerland marry commoners.
"Mr. Sommeret, should I call you 'Prince'? Can you tell us what happened? What happened to Tilti?"
