Chapter 37 A Princess in Distress Is a Princess
The man with glasses said to Fan Wubing in a very solemn tone, "Of course, this is Princess Norodom Hassanlia, the grandniece and daughter of His Royal Highness Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia. Princess."
Oh, it turned out to be the princess of Cambodia! Now Fan Wubing believed it a little bit. He couldn't help but look at the girl surrounded by everyone, trying to find a bit of royal demeanor from her face, but unfortunately he didn't know whether it was preconceived or the girl hadn't been trained before. With the systematic royal education, he didn't find the feeling he wanted at all.
"It's true that she is a princess, but she is a princess in distress!" Fan Ting and Wang Xuyun also rushed over at this time. When they heard that the one they rescued was actually a Cambodian princess, they still couldn't help it. With emotion.
When it comes to Cambodia, one cannot fail to mention a famous figure, Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia.
Norodom Sihanouk is a descendant of the two royal families of Norodom and Sisowath. He studied in Saigon, Vietnam and Paris, France in his early years. He was elected king by the Throne Council in 1941. As the king of Cambodia, he proposed independence to France and made Cambodia fully independent in 1953. In 1956, he signed the Non-Aligned Movement Declaration together with Yugoslav President Tito, United Arab Republic President Nasser, Indonesian President Sukarno and Indian Prime Minister Nehru, becoming one of the founders of the Non-Aligned Movement. In 1970, after the coup of the Lon Nol Shrimada Group, he lived in Beijing, announced the establishment of the Cambodian National United Front and served as its chairman, leading the struggle for national liberation. 1991. He was elected chairman of the Supreme National Council of Cambodia. In November of the same year, he returned to Phnom Penh and was unanimously supported by the Cambodian Quartet as the head of state.
Strictly speaking, Cambodia is not a kingdom anymore. But Sihanouk used to be a king for a long time, and his influence among the Cambodian people is very strong, so the people still regard him as a king, as his grand-niece and daughter, Norodom Hassanli Ya naturally has the corresponding status of a princess.
However, because Cambodia has been in civil strife for a long time, and Prince Sihanouk spent most of his life in exile in mainland China, the life of the descendants of the royal family is also very ordinary, not as extravagant and extravagant as the royal families of some countries. Therefore, it was an inevitable phenomenon that Fan Wubing did not find the bastard's aura from Norodom Hassanlia's body.
According to the Cambodian Constitution, Cambodia is a constitutional monarchy with separation of powers in the legislative, executive and judicial powers. The king is the head of state for life, the supreme commander of the national army, and the symbol of national unity and perpetuity. The president of the Senate acts as the head of state when the king is unable to see things or is absent from the country for some reason. The throne cannot be hereditary. After the death of the king, a nine-member throne committee composed of the prime minister, Buddhist monks of the two sects, the speaker of the Senate and the National Assembly, and the deputy speaker elects a new king from the descendants of the royal family.
At first Sihanouk became king. It was elected from among the descendants of the royal family.
The Cambodian royal family has a long history. If the matrilineal and patrilineal lines are counted, the Cambodian royal family that is related to each other has maintained Cambodia for nearly two thousand years, and the Cambodian royal family has lasted for more than 700 years when only the patrilineal line is counted. In 1296, the son-in-law of King Yevarman VIII Indravarman III succeeded to the throne. Indravarman III is the paternal ancestor of the current king of Cambodia. It is rumored that Indravarman III may force his father-in-law to abdicate. It is worth noting that although the Cambodian dynasties have different names, these continuous dynasties are all related by blood in one way or another. Norodom Sihanouk is already the ninety-sixth generation king of the Cambodian dynasty.
In principle, if Cambodia can restore the constitutional government of the kingdom, Norodom Hassanlia also has the possibility of becoming the king of Cambodia, but as a woman, this possibility is very small,
Because Sihanouk's son Sihamoni was the right age. Quite like a father. Presumably will inherit the mantle of Sihanouk, another point is. Sihanouk's physical condition is excellent, and for the time being, it is estimated that he does not need an heir to take over.
Fan Wubing did think of something else through this incident. The Phnom Penh Dynasty in Cambodia began in 1393 and ended with a vacant throne in 1960, which lasted for nearly six hundred years. The country is very popular. At this time, it is a matter of time to return to the country to integrate the resources of all parties, and to re-establish the country and restore it. So Fan Wubing casually said, "A princess in distress is also a princess!"
Once Sihanouk's restoration is successful and Cambodia becomes a kingdom again, then Norodom Hassanlia will of course be a serious royal princess. In fact, the founding monarch of the Funan Dynasty earlier than the Phnom Penh Dynasty and the previous Angkor Dynasty was a queen. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
But Fan Wubing must know that Sihanouk will be re-enthroned as king next year. He accidentally saved such a Cambodian royal princess. It seems that if you want to visit Angkor Wat in the future, don’t be afraid No one is busy with reception anymore. *
Just thinking about it here, the middle-aged man who had talked with the princess for a while over there came in front of Fan Wubing and the others, clasped his hands together insincerely, and said to them, "Thank you, my Chinese friends, on behalf of the Cambodian government I would like to express my deep gratitude to the three friends for their charitable deeds, and His Royal Highness Prince Sihanouk, you are friends of our Cambodian people!"
Fan Wubing and the others followed each other's appearance, returned a salute, and then the two chatted, describing the process of the princess's car accident.
Later, I heard from the other party that Norodom Hassanlia had lived abroad for a long time, and this time he came to Beijing for a visit, but the Cambodian royal family basically kept a low profile, and the princess didn’t have many people around him. The assistant got lost, but there was a car accident. Fortunately, Fan Wubing and others rescued him in time, otherwise, it would be a disaster. After hearing that Fan Wubing fell into a coma in order to give blood to the princess, the other party was very grateful and said that he must report the matter to Sihanouk, and asked the royal family to reward Fan Wubing and the other three.
Fan Wubing accepted the other party's kindness with a smile. But there was something in my heart that Cambodia was one of the least developed regions in the world, and it was hard to imagine what good things they could give there. bsp;novel 5 2 0 ^^ Even if it is a bit of a treasure, it should have been snatched up by the French devils and Vietnamese devils, right?
Or Angkor Wat is a good thing, but it cannot be moved away, and no one dares to move it away. That thing is painted on the national flag and national emblem of others, how can it be allowed to be desecrated by others?
In this way, the three of them came back to the hospital bed of Her Royal Highness under the attention of everyone. She smiled and said a few words of blessing to her. Although the two sides did not understand each other, the princess seemed to have a good impression of Fan Wubing, so she shyly said a few words.
"What did the princess just say?" Fan Wubing wondered why the translator didn't come over at the same time, but looked up at the ceiling. A little embarrassed. So he asked.
The man with glasses standing next to him coughed and said, "Hehe, I don't need to ask such detailed questions. They are just words to express friendship anyway. That's probably it."
"Brother, where are you from? Can you even understand such difficult words?" Fan Wubing couldn't help asking. Of course it is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, otherwise, where else do you think people can speak Khmer? "The man with glasses touched his ears and replied.
Khmer is the lingua franca of Cambodia, and it is the official language of Cambodia along with English and French. However, for the Chinese, there are not many people who can understand or speak this language. After all, it is a small language, and there are very few people who learn it. In addition, Cambodia is an underdeveloped area. \\If studying or immigrating. It is certain that no one would choose there, and naturally no one cares about it.
But most Cambodians can understand some English and French. In terms of communication, there are still not many obstacles.
Her Royal Highness is still recovering from her injuries, so it is inappropriate to disturb her more, so after confirming her identity, the hospital simply transferred her to a separate room, where the royal family took care of her, and arranged special care for her. Lin Xiaotong left.
After sending these people away, two lieutenant generals from the military came over.
"President Fan, this incident is thanks to you guys. On behalf of the military, I would like to express my gratitude to you." A lieutenant general said to Fan Wubing and Fan Ting.
"Healing the wounded and saving lives is a matter of duty. This is also a fine tradition of the Chinese people." Fan Wubing replied solemnly.
The two lieutenant generals were immediately disgusted by Fan Wubing's expression and tone, and they waited for a long time before they said, "Well, Mr. Fan, let's come over, one is to accompany the Cambodian royal family, to confirm the little princess's affairs, two I just came here to discuss something with you, I wonder if it is convenient now?"
Um? What is it? Fan Wubing frowned, "Of course it is possible, can't we say it here?"
"Some things are more complicated, about the satellite launch." Another lieutenant general replied.
"Uh, it turned out to be this matter, so we have to change places." Fan Wubing slapped his forehead and immediately understood why there were two high-ranking generals appearing, so he replied, "Okay, I Just go with you."
So Fan Wubing said hello to his elder sister Fan Ting, ran to Lin Xiaotong, said goodbye to her, followed the two lieutenant generals, got into the black Audi military vehicle driven by the other side, and ran away in a hurry .
After walking west for more than an hour, the convoy entered a base, went deeper, passed through numerous guard posts, and entered an underground command post, which was quite large in scale, like a temporary command post for combat preparation, the largest In one of the halls, researchers in white coats are busy.
On the opposite side of the large screen that covered the front wall, there was a live image of the Jiuquan base displayed.
In the rows of seats opposite the big screen, there were already several senior generals sitting there, and when they saw Fan Wubing and others coming in, they all stood up.
I rely on! Fan Wubing recognized several of the founding generals at a glance. They were all very prestigious. No matter how arrogant he was, he did not dare to ignore him, "Hey, hello, leaders! The leaders have worked hard!"
The people on the opposite side were still thinking about how to bargain with Fan Wubing. After all, doing business with a rich man who is younger than his grandson is still a bit weird psychologically, but this matter has to be mentioned, but they did not Thinking of Fan Wubing's expression when they met, it made people dumbfounded.
All the generals looked at each other, none of them wanted to be the first bird.
"Leaders, if you have anything to say, just open up and say it. There is nothing embarrassing. Our time is precious. Comrade Xiaoping said it well, time is money! To waste time is to waste money!" Fan Wubing smiled said.
When did Comrade Xiaoping say this? ! Everyone couldn't laugh or cry.
"Well, Comrade Fan." A general with three gold stars coughed and said to Fan Wubing, "We are almost ready for the satellite we mentioned last time, and it will be launched next week. You came here to confirm something about the insurance."
Oh, now Fan Wubing understands.
Although the two parties have reached an agreement on stealing satellites last time, after all, they only talked about it verbally, and did not sign the relevant documents formally. If the plan is really implemented, the result announced to the public must be that the satellite launch failed. , In this case, the insurance company must pay a large amount of compensation. This loss is quite large. Probably the military cannot afford such a large loss. I want Fan Wubing to reconfirm this matter.
"As for the insurance issue, we still have to follow the agreement at that time, otherwise my satellite launch failed, but I don't care at all, and anyone can see the problem." Fan Wubing replied after thinking for a while, "But I definitely don't want this money. How about we start a cooperation project together? Through the cooperation project, I will transfer the corresponding funds directly, and you can deal with it as you like."
Um? This is a good idea, it will not cause any public impact, and the use of project funds, isn't that very free? Everyone researched it, and they all felt that this matter was quite feasible.
