Christmas in the royal palace was not very happy. Everyone had their own thoughts, but overall Joseph was very satisfied. After all, Audi's popularity and marriage were beneficial to him.
Earl Singola was also very happy, because he had obtained an annual profit of tens of millions of dollars as the general agent of Audi Europe and the possibility of getting married to the King of Spain. Of course, all of this would be useless without Joseph's help. Why did the majestic King of Spain marry his granddaughter to a declining little baron? It was not because he wanted to get involved with Joseph. In the eyes of many European countries, Joseph meant that he was an agent of the United States.
It is understandable that Agata and Salma are unhappy, and the countess is worried because she is testing her inner guess. The daughter may not have that intention, but there is definitely something wrong with the younger brother.
After dinner, Joseph asked Abner to arrange for Earl Singella and his party, while he went to the police station to visit the police officers who were busy because of Christmas.
Just like the Spring Festival in the East, Christmas is the most important festival in the West. This day is undoubtedly very lively, especially in the Principality of Nord. In Europe, all countries are in the process of major construction, and Christmas in Nord is very grand.
Christmas trees, discounted sales in stores, and Christmas gifts from some toy stores. As the Grand Duke of the Nord Duchy, Joseph naturally gave a gift to citizens across the country. Although the gift was only worth a few dollars, it was also a heartfelt gift from Joseph. .
The busiest part of the day was undoubtedly the police station. When Joseph came to the police station, there were only a few people on duty, and the rest of the staff were all on guard in various blocks to prevent criminals from causing trouble on this day.
The quieter one is Nancheng District. Christmas is a western festival, not an eastern one. Chinese people just came here and they are not familiar with everything. They live in a small circle of their own, even if Joseph gives them a gift. When presenting gifts, the Huaxia people only expressed their gratitude without any other actions.
Joseph was unwilling to see such a situation and was very happy. He did not want to see it because he hoped that the future Nord Principality could be mixed together regardless of race. Such a small circle was obviously not conducive to Joseph's rule. The joy is because, as the soul of the Han family, he is happy that the Chinese people insist on their traditional culture.
In the previous life, Christmas and Valentine's Day were celebrated on the streets. Joseph was sad but also desperate for the slow loss of traditional culture, but here he saw hope again.
It is absolute that the Chinese population of the future Nord Principality will occupy the majority, so he hopes to form a country with traditional Chinese festivals. The future Nord Principality may not be an economic power or a military power, but it must be a country with social morality and clean officials. This was Joseph's wish and his goal.
The arrival of Joseph made the police station very nervous, but unfortunately the chief was not here. On days like Christmas, even the chief of the police station could not stay in the office but went out to make inspections.
The police station made Joseph very satisfied, so he didn't stay long for this reason. Joseph got into the car and was ready to leave when the police officer on duty saw him off, but at this moment, the alarm from Ulala sounded, and Joseph's face changed to the same expression. The changed police officer asked, "What kind of alarm is this?"
"Fire, fire alarm."
"A fire broke out in the North City District, and the main concentration area is in the third block. The chief has already passed, Your Highness..." Compared to the young police officer , Another young police officer on duty quickly figured out the situation and reported to Joseph.
Joseph admired the calmness and wit of the young policeman, nodded to him and asked, "What's your name?"
"Bach Heisenberg, Your Highness!"
"Germans?"
"Former students of the German Defense University, pay tribute to His Highness Nord Josef Ragner!"
Joseph asked with a frown. Who would have thought that this police officer named Bach Heisenberg would be very formal Giving a military salute to Joseph, the words contained endless pride.
"Bach, this is the Principality of Nord."
"The first-class policeman Bach Heisenberg of the South District Police Station of the Principality of Nord pays tribute to His Royal Highness Joseph!"
Bach immediately understood Joseph's words, so he hurriedly saluted with the etiquette of the Nord police , Although not as proud as before, it also contains respect, but Joseph doesn't know whether his respect is to the Principality of Nord or Joseph.
"You are fine, tell your boss that Nord needs young people like you."
Although Joseph was only an eight-year-old boy, no one felt that there was anything wrong with his words, which made Bach very excited , because this is the approval of the Duke of Nord.
The police in the Principality of Nord are divided into one, two, and three levels of police officers. The lowest level of the first level police officer is the highest level, and the highest level is the detective, the inspector, and the chief and deputy chief of the police station. However, the detectives and the inspectors are generally from the police station. Powerful people, they are mainly responsible for criminal cases.
Joseph didn't pay much attention to the fire in the third block. After all, Bach had already said that the chief of the police station had passed away, and his going now would only make those officials nervous, and the gain outweighed the loss.
I thought the incident was a trivial matter, but not long after returning to the palace, the minister of justice and the chief of the police station came one after another. They came in a hurry, which made Earl Singella, who was talking to Joseph, very surprised. However, he understood his identity, took a look at the visitor, bid farewell to Joseph and left.
As soon as Earl Singola left, Joseph's face quickly became serious, and before the other party could speak, he asked, "Is it about the fire?"
"That's right, after investigation, this time the fire was not caused by nature but man-made." Hearing this, Joseph raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "Man-made?" The citizens of Nancheng District are not those immigrants, but tourists who come to Nord to play."
Spy! This was the first word that popped up in Joseph's mind, but at this time, the question came, did the spies just want to destroy some Nord duchies, didn't they mean to assassinate themselves? And what is their origin, whether...
A name just came to mind, but it was quickly denied by Joseph. This should not be an agent arranged by a certain country, because no matter how you look at it, such a thing is too inferior. Those countries that have conflicts with Joseph will not do such a thing, especially at this time that the status of the Principality of Nord in Europe is becoming more and more stable. Such small means are useless at all, and there is no need to take the risk of losing its reputation to come to Nord Principality.
It can be said that it can only be a private organization that would do such a thing, has enmity with the Ragnar family, or the Nord Principality harms the interests of some people...
interests? Thinking of this, Joseph suddenly remembered the hot sales of the Audi A1. Is this a warning given by some people not to offend them easily?
Shaking his head, Joseph also threw this idea out of his mind. The possibility of this is not high. After all, the Audi A1 has just been sold today, and even if the other party has such an idea, there is no time to arrange someone to do it.
"Investigate this matter carefully, and inform Abner if you have any news."
Abner, who had just entered the door, hurriedly nodded to the Minister of Justice Morris when he heard this, and Morris nodded equally politely and then left. He understood that Abner had something to tell Joseph.
"Your Highness, do you want to increase your guards?"
"Abner, do you know who it is?"
"I can't be sure, but maybe it's them. Grand Duke Ragnar has had conflicts with them several times. Now that Nord is developing so fast, it is inevitable that they are not the ones who are attacking." "Who are they?" Facing the sudden enemy, Joseph
did
not Nervous, some are just angry. It can be said that he created the Nord Principality by himself. It is like his child. Now that someone is attacking his child, how can Joseph not be angry.
"Frankfurt, the Leifeble family."
