According to Mary's original plan, today's fox hunting should be the best occasion for her to show herself looking for a suitable marriage partner; according to the original book, she also met Kemal Pamuk during this fox hunting. The ambiguity also inspired Pamke's lust and courage to allow the Turk to sneak into Mary's room in the middle of the night, causing a series of problems, including damage to Mary's reputation, scandals even spread to London, and so on.

But now, even though this Kemal Pamuk is a typical Turkish playboy, he has no intention of having an affair with Mary.

As the son of an important Turkish minister, unless this Kemal is a wimp, he will not be ignorant of the meaning of the saying that silk can effectively reduce the damage of guns.

And Kemal Pamke is just a romantic|little|temperament, not a waste, otherwise, he would not be the key figure in this Albanian meeting.

Kemal quickly started a discussion with Napier on this issue.Of course, no discussion can compare to field verification.What aristocrat in this day and age does not have a pile of silk shirts?Which nobleman went out to hunt but did not prepare a bunch of |hand|gun|guns|?

Among other things, Dumas's novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" has already made it clear that there were already shooting clubs when Louis XVIII was in power, and the nobles also used guns in duels, most of them collected Holding a |gun| in a cabinet.

Therefore, Mary failed inexplicably in this fox hunting campaign, because not only Napier and Pamuk, but also other people who came to participate in the fox hunting. Try Zhao Changqing's sentence "Silk can effectively reduce the damage caused by bullets".

This also directly led to two results. One is that on this day, the fox hunting ended earlier than usual, and almost every noble who participated in the fox hunting came back empty-handed; the other result was that these people After returning to Downton Abbey, Zhao Changqing was the first to question him.

After shaking hands with Robert Crowley, Earl of Grantham, Pamke said, "Oh, Sir, please forgive my bluntness. If I have been rude, I apologize. May I ask that Mr. Zhao will attend today's meeting?" Dinner?"

"of course."

"Oh, that's really great. Your Excellency, Earl, please forgive my offense. If it weren't for the fact that I am covered in mud and water, it is too impolite to appear in front of Mr. Zhao, I would like to ask Mr. Zhao more questions now."

The count was dumbfounded.

Countess Clara was also dumbfounded.

Evelyn Napier also came over there, and after quickly greeting the Earl and his wife of Grantham, he said, "We have just confirmed what Mr. It plays a good defensive role at about 50 meters, and if it is a regular|sexual|gun|arm of the army, the distance is about 40 meters."

As aristocrats, they must collect and use good guns, some even rare ones, which are definitely beyond the reach of the standing weapons in the army.

Robert Crowley, Earl of Grantham, said: "It seems that I don't need to experiment any more."

"Oh, Your Excellency Earl! Please help me! During the dinner, can you arrange me next to Mr. Zhao? I really have a lot of questions to ask Mr. Zhao." Pamke asked immediately.

Mrs. Clara was dumbfounded.

Of course, Mary was also very helpless.

Yes, this Turk named Kemal Pamuk is very handsome, and Mary can even say that she was attracted to him at first sight.But the problem is, as one of the most beautiful women in Yorkshire and the darling of the London social circle for many years, Mary Crowley discovered for the first time that she was not as attractive as a man!

Even Napier had to warn his friends, but anyone could tell that Napier himself was very interested in Zhao Changqing.

"Oh, Kemal, my friend. Please don't embarrass the count and countess. Not only in England, but also in France and Germany, there is a fixed set of etiquette for dinner parties. There must be a male guest and a female guest at intervals. seat."

"Oh, that's such a pity. May I sit opposite this Mr. Zhao? Oh, please, Count!"

What else could Robert Crowley have said, after all the guests had pleaded in this way?He can only do his best.

Therefore, as the two most important guests of today's dinner, Zhao Changqing and Kemal Pamuk were arranged in the middle of the long table, because it is rare that there are fewer female guests than male guests, so Kemal Pamuk On both sides of Pamke were Mary and Sippel. Mary used to be Napier, while Zhao Changqing sat on both sides of Edith and Mrs. Isabella, and Edith used to be Matthew.

Mary has a crush on Pamuk, and she has been carefully dressed for today's dinner, without any delicate makeup, wearing a long red dress, and the red feather decoration on her hair even made her a little more playful and cute.However, no matter how beautifully she dresses up today, the men's focus is not on her, but on Zhao Changqing.

It wasn't just Mary who discovered this, everyone in Downton Abbey discovered this.Including the Countess of Grantham, the three ladies, the old countess, the heir Matthew Crowley, Matthew's mother, Lady Isabella, the two butlers in the manor and many servants and servants.

If it is said that the discussion at the dinner party in the original book is that the maid Gewei Dawson intends to resign as a maid and become a professional woman, then today, everyone wants to talk to Zhao Changqing, every male guest, especially Kemo El Pamke and Evelyn Napier.

As an old friend of the Crowley family, Napier knows the Downton Abbey affairs well.In fact, Napier also has a little love for Mary in his heart, but today, seeing Mary courting his friend Kemal Pamuk intentionally or unintentionally, what else does he not understand?

Of course, as a nobleman, he is willing to fight for England at any time.He also read Zhao Changqing's "The Rise of Great Powers". Although his teachers scoffed at Zhao Changqing's analysis of the future situation in the book, Napier and his classmates thought it was very reasonable.

As noble children from Eton College, he and his classmates are very willing to go to the battlefield for the benefit of the country.However, as a nobleman who came out of Eton College, he also hated meaningless sacrifices.If a few silk shirts can do the damage less, why not add some?Perhaps the financial resources of the British government could not allow every British soldier to wear silk on the battlefield, but, as a British nobleman, he himself had the financial resources to add two more silk shirts for himself.

It's not a very difficult thing at all.

So, at the dinner, Napier asked, "Mr. Zhao, we tested it. Silk shirts do reduce bullet damage. But not 30 meters as you said, but 40 meters."

Evidently, Napier had exchanged messages with Lord Grantham.

Zhao Changqing said: "That should be due to the different types of silk. In fact, Oriental silk can be divided into seven types according to the craftsmanship. Different silks have different defenses against bullets and different effects on the battlefield. For example, Most satin is naturally resistant to bullets. However, satin is afraid of water, and if the shirt and vest made of satin are soaked in sweat, the warp and weft structure will also be destroyed, so naturally there is no defense.”

"Yes, you are from the Far East, and your knowledge of silk is naturally beyond ours. Would you mind sharing this with us?"

"Of course. I'll make a list for you later."

Kemal stared at Zhao Changqing and said, "Mr. Zhao, this kind of knowledge should be a top-secret document, right? You don't care that much?"

Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "Actually, from the point of view of damage, there is no difference between bullets and bow|arrow|arrows. They are both judged from the two angles of penetration and tearing. Gun|arms|ammo|ammunition just came out At that time, the bullets were all spherical, but in order to pursue the damage caused by penetration, the bullets became pointed at one end and flat at the other, and the bullet head will also become a proper term. As for the tear injury, either, it is to let the bullet rotate Come on, this can be done by making a few curves in the barrel, and the other is to make a fuss about the bullet technology, so that the bullet bursts after entering the human body..."

The old countess had to say: "Oh, this is really terrible."

Zhao Changqing quickly apologized: "Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot that there are female relatives present."

Pamke said, "Oh, I brought up this topic first, so I should apologize. As an apology, Zhao, please come to Turkey. I will entertain you with the highest standard of etiquette."

With such a deep understanding of bullets and the military industry, Kemal Pamke concluded that Zhao Changqing must have the relevant knowledge. If he can poach this Far Easterner to Turkey, it will definitely increase Turkey's strength.

For Turkey and for his family, he had to win over this man.

Just don't know what the other person likes?

woman?

gold?

or something else.

Thinking of this, Kemal became depressed again.When he was outside, he had already learned from Mary and Napier that Zhao Changqing had earned more than 400 million pounds in just six months and was one of the rare rich men in the UK.

To win over such a person, the price required is not usually high.Unless he is a sultan, he can't afford that much money either.Therefore, beauty may be more useful than money.

Kemal immediately thought of his younger sisters, maybe it was time for them to serve the family?
