Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 437: Medal of the Garter?

At least Wang Lu felt that the guys from the British Ministry of Agriculture didn't have the courage to nominate him.

Fortunately, Crown Prince William immediately answered Wang Lu’s doubts!

"You will be awarded the Order of the Garter in June next year. Only the monarch has the power to award others the Order of the Garter. Moreover, the award of this medal does not require nomination by the Prime Minister or Parliament. It is entirely decided by the monarch's own opinion!"

When Prince William said this, his expression was also very serious.

You must know that the Order of the Garter is the highest level in the entire British medal system. Compared with the so-called Order of the Garter, the KBE knighthood that Li Huanggua received is unattainable.

Even when Wang Lu heard that the royal family was planning to award him a medal, he only thought of ordinary titles used to fool people with social experience, but he never expected that it would be the Order of the Garter.

If this is the case, I have to say that the British royal family is quite sincere this time.

Although this so-called knighthood cannot be exchanged for money or used as food, it is still a symbol of social status after all, and although there are a lot of medals awarded by the royal family every year, in terms of credibility alone.

And the knighthoods awarded by Spain, which does not limit the number of nobles, various medals awarded by the Vatican Holy See, and knighthoods awarded by the inexplicable French Knights, these are ten cents and eleven - for worthless things, the British royal family issued There is still some gold content in medals and titles.

Not to mention the Order of the Garter that Crown Prince William just mentioned!

The Order of the Garter is awarded to those who have held public office or made significant contributions to the British country and life in special ways, as well as those who have dedicated personal service to the monarch. Its special significance is that only the reigning monarch can award this medal. Medal; the Prime Minister has no right to recommend or nominate wearers, so there are very few wearers of the Order of the Garter.

The king himself and Crown Prince William in front of Wang Lu are wearers of the Garter, which is enough to show the gold content of this medal!
The reason why Crown Prince William proposed the date of June next year is because every year the royal family will select a day as Garter Day to award those who have received the Order of the Garter, and this date is basically in June every year. or July, it’s basically a tradition!

It is also enough to show the specialness of this medal.

As Crown Prince William narrated, Wang Lu also roughly understood the value of the Garter Medal, but he became increasingly confused.

From Crown Prince William's introduction, Wang Lu also knew that the recipients of the Order of the Garter were all top social celebrities and most importantly, all of them were British.

And Wang Lu is a foreigner!

In response to this, Crown Prince William also touched his head with some headache!

"King! If you watch the news often, you will know that my father is not a rule-abiding monarch. In fact, I am also worried about this matter. I will definitely suffer a lot of criticism by then, but I personally think that your contribution Totally worthy of this Medal of the Garter!”

Listening to Crown Prince William's words, Wang Lu almost burst out laughing.

William is covering up for his father. He is not a monarch who sticks to the rules. His father was the biggest playboy in the UK when he was young. His reputation is not very good. To put it bluntly, he is an unreliable old man. ··
However, Wang Lu could probably guess some of what William said about his contribution.If we really take things a step further and cultivate high-yielding and high-quality grain varieties by ourselves, then we will have made some contribution to all mankind, especially to the British people.

Of course, Wang Lu would not be shy about asking for this so-called reputation. After all, he had made a lot of profits from these new food varieties, and he was not yet very aware of selfless dedication.

But for the British royal family, including Crown Prince William and his father, Wang Lu has indeed made the royal family's domestic support soar. This alone is enough to win the respect of the entire royal family!

After all, Wang Lu could have refused Crown Prince William's request and allowed the Agricultural Reclamation Group to prey on the appetite of countries that were eager to introduce new wheat varieties, sit back on the Diaoyutai and wait for the money.

But relying on Wang Lu's personal friendship, Britain became the first and fastest country to introduce new wheat varieties. This is real.

It can also be regarded as meeting the requirements of the Order of the Garter for those who have made significant contributions to the British country and life in special ways, as well as those who have dedicated personal service to the monarch!

Wang Lu, who holds the Order of the Garter, will also automatically receive a knighthood, which is the highest honorary level. Even Zhou Rou can also use the title of Madam after his name. In this way, we will become a real A nobleman?
"King! This news will be announced soon, and your name will appear in the New Year's honor list. Anyway, congratulations in advance!"

Crown Prince William said solemnly, and then shook hands with Wang Lu seriously.

Every New Year's Day, the royal family will issue a New Year's Honors List, which lists the names of those who will receive medals or titles from the royal family in the new year. Most of them are nominated by the government. Wang Lu's name will also appear on it.

After Prince William left, Zhou Rou took out her mobile phone and started searching for information about the Garter Medal. After the search was completed, she opened her mouth wide.

After all, the maximum number of people this thing can obtain is only 24 alive. This is the limit on the number of people including the monarch and the Prince of Wales. This is enough to show the gold content of this Order of the Garter.

"From now on you will also be a lady of high society!"

Seeing Zhou Rou's surprised look, Wang Lu also made a joke, causing the other party to glare at her angrily.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law were also university professors and knew something about the Order of the Garter. When I saw that my son-in-law was blessed with such a title, I immediately became proud.

Even Wang Lu's parents are still a little unclear about the situation. In short, they only know that their son has a future!

Of course, Wang Lu also knew that the reason why the royal family awarded him the Order of the Garter was not only a whim of Crown Prince William's unreliable monarch father, but also an attempt to win over him.

After all, relying on his personal relationship with Prince William and his wife, he is basically tied to the royal family.
