Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 245 Bidding for the Olympics
On April 1991, 4, the day Joseph returned to the Nord Kingdom, satellite surveillance detected that Angola was hit by a rare tropical cyclone. Although Angola was still some distance away from Western Sahara, no one could relax their vigilance.

Joseph, who got the news at the airport, left in a hurry, and the Gao family and his party were also full of worries. After all, they are also part of the Nord Kingdom now.

The Royal Security Bureau was in charge of welcoming them, and they didn't leave until they sent Gao Jingxuan's family to the seaside villa.

The wooden spiral wooden ladder and exquisite furniture, this small villa made Gao Qianzong and his wife very fond of it, and the little guy Gao Shushang wandered around the villa behind Flender.

"It's a bit small, but I'll be moving soon, this villa can be considered as a gift for you to come to Nord!"

Smiling lightly, Gao Jingxuan handed a key to Gao Qianzong. Although they had just arrived in the Nord Kingdom, they all knew that the prices here were not low. This coastal villa cost at least hundreds of thousands of euros, but Gao Qianzong did not refuse. Because he knew that his sister didn't care about these material things at all.

"Dad, Mom, are you following my sister or..."

"Jingxuan, where are you going to move?"

"On the other side of the bridge, in terms of the environment or the comfort of the island, I hope you can follow me."

Gao Jingxuan was indeed thinking of the old couple, but compared to their daughter, they still felt sorry for their son and wanted to stay by his side, so they could only shake their heads at Gao Jingxuan.In fact, Gao Jingxuan had already expected such an answer, but she didn't care and could only look at her younger sibling Xia Chuqiu with a self-seeking wish.

Palace:

Kate, who was working on some books, saw Joseph coming back, and when the servant helped take off the coat, she said, "Smith is waiting for you in the study."

"What about Western Sahara?"

"It's nothing serious, and it probably won't affect us."

"That's good."

Joseph understands that Kate is not a character who speaks casually. Since she said that it will not be affected, then 90.00% of it will not be affected.

"How about your trip to Taipei?"

"It's okay, Teresa Teng's concert is good, you can watch it when you have time."

After kissing Kate face to face, Joseph walked towards the study, leaving Kate shrugging her shoulders and giving a wry smile.

"Hi! Smith."

"Your Majesty the King!"

Smith, who was flipping through the books in the study, saw Joseph hastily put down the book in his hand, stood up and saluted Joseph with a European aristocrat.

He waved his hand to signal him to sit down, then picked up a cigar and put it in his mouth without smoking, leaned back slightly on the sofa, closed his slightly tired eyes and asked, "What's going on during this time?"

"Three things, Your Majesty."

"Say!"

"First of all, Angola..."

"Kate has already said that Western Sahara is fine, let's talk about other things!"

"With regard to the 2000 Olympic Games, the bidding team has been established, but the possibility of our success is very small."

"It's okay, it's better to try than not to try, there is one more thing?"

Joseph couldn't be careless about the Olympic Games, but he understood that it would be very difficult to win the right to host the 2000 Olympic Games with the comprehensive strength of the Nord Kingdom at this time.

"The third Nord Kingdom fashion show will probably be on the 1st of next month. The Ministry of Commerce is temporarily scheduled to be in the gymnasium. What do you think..."

"You can decide on this kind of thing, the fashion show... Kate will represent the royal family at that time, uh...you should ask her for advice on this matter!"

Although he is the king of Nord, Joseph does not control everything, at least Joseph will not decide many things about Kate privately.

"I have no objection, Salma will live in the palace for a while, you don't mind if I take her there!"

The study room has always been unguarded against Kate, and neither Joseph nor Smith was too surprised to see her enter the door. Even Smith stood up and saluted respectfully, and then gave up his position to the side.

"Salma? Why didn't you see her?"

Kate did not answer directly but glanced at Smith before saying: "You should ask Prime Minister Smith where your cousin is now, I think he should know."

Feeling that there was something in Kate's words, Joseph couldn't help looking at Smith. Smith was very embarrassed by this, and there was no way to arrange personal protection. After all, if something happened, he would always be blamed, not the royal family.

"Some time ago, Miss Salma clashed with the military attache of the US embassy. I was worried about accidents, so I arranged for two cabinet security personnel to follow closely. I don't know where Miss Salma is now. If it is not in the network room, it is shopping."

Joseph is a smart person, and Smith's explanation allowed him to roughly guess the specific situation at that time and why Smith did this at this time. Although he was a little dissatisfied with this, Joseph could not complain.

"Both Singella and James have arrived?"

"They have all arrived, and the arena is already under construction. Your Excellency James means to spread the news of the World's No. [-] Martial Arts Association now, so that those warriors can prepare in time."

"Start promoting now... how long will it take for everything to be ready?"

The preparations that Joseph spoke of were naturally not preparations for the warriors but preparations for the arena. Smith was not very clear about this matter. He recalled the estimate given by James and replied: "It will be completed at least next year. It may go back to the end of 1992 or even the beginning of 1993 when the first session is held."

Another year to go...

"There is no need to publicize it now, let them make their own decisions at a specific time, but not too early, and expecting too long is prone to accidents."

Smith doesn't know what the accident refers to, but he agrees, because many things are unpredictable because of waiting.

Smith leaves, and Joseph and Kate look at each other and smile.

Joseph stepped forward to put his arms around Kate, and asked in Kate's shyness: "Why didn't I see Charlie, why didn't he go out with Salma?"

"Charlie and Salma? It's unlikely that the two of them will go out together. Charlie seems to be a little afraid of Salma. I think the only person who can suppress Salma is the little guy Flender."

Flanders?Joseph was really not in the mood to talk about his other son in front of his wife, he let go of his hand slightly, and then changed the subject: "Does Nord have any new movies recently, we can go watch them together tonight."

"Silence of the Lambs, are you interested?"

The Silence of the Lambs?Joseph did not expect that this world-renowned movie would be screened in 1992. In his previous life, Joseph had only heard about it but had never seen it. He just came back from Taipei and should accompany Kate, so he agreed without hesitation.

"No problem, but this is a thriller, I hope you can adapt."

Kate smiled and didn't answer.

"Uncle Joseph, Uncle Joseph!"

At this time, Salma's shout came from outside. From being unfamiliar at the beginning to gradually understanding and familiarizing, now Salma is not the slightest bit reserved and a half lady in front of Joseph, yelling, shouting, Excited hugs are common.

If Salma’s closest friend in her childhood was her uncle, then her best friend now is her uncle Joseph. It is strange that neither uncle nor uncle is far from her age.

"Salma, long time no see."

As soon as he met Salma, he gave Joseph a big hug. Joseph smiled wryly and spread his hands to Kate, and Kate sat on the sofa in the lobby with a ladylike smile and continued to sort out her account books.

"How about it, is it fun to visit Taipei?"

"It's not bad. The Confucius Temple, Chenghuang Temple, and Longshan Temple are all good."

"Did you bring any gifts?"

"It's just some handcrafted items, if you prefer to find Butler Abner yourself."

"it is good!"

Salma has a hot-tempered personality, and upon hearing this, she turned around and left without saying a word. Joseph had already expected that there would be a commotion at Abner's place.

"father!"

It seems that Charlie is really avoiding Salma. Salma appeared in front of Joseph just after leaving Charlie. Joseph didn't appreciate it.

"Charlie, I think you should hide for a while before you come out. If your cousin Salma finds out, you must understand that you are deliberately avoiding her."

Kate originally thought that Joseph would hand it over to Charlie. As the prince of the Nord Kingdom, she should not be afraid of a little girl, but who would have thought that the result would be...

Charlie didn't think too much. He agreed with Joseph's words and nodded seriously, turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, he was stopped by Joseph.

"I'm talking about next time, how about Charlie, have you listened to your mother recently?"

"No, Cousin Salma is always at the palace. I often avoid them, and only stay with them at breakfast when I have to."

"..." Kate was speechless

"..." Joseph was speechless.

"Joseph, there is one thing..."

"whats the matter?"

"General Fritz, General Fritz died three days ago."

Fritz Erich von Manstein—former German general, Joseph's military teacher, senior adviser to the Nord Kingdom's Ministry of Defense, and the military teacher appointed by Nord Kingdom Crown Prince Charles Joseph Ragner.

Joseph was not sad, he forced a smile towards Kate: "He was very old, he passed away normally, the funeral..."

"According to the state funeral standard, some German generals and politicians came to pay their respects. There was no time, so there was no..."

"Same goes for you and Charlie."

Although it is a pity, what Joseph said is the truth, and the same is true for Kate's attendance.

With the development of the Nord Kingdom and the passage of time, it is normal for some heroes of the year to gradually die and retire. If Joseph can't even look at these things, he will ignore his title of king at this time.

　Thanks to Long Qiangzi for his monthly pass and Fat Niu 170 and his rewards.
