This story is very old, and it must be said from Portsmouth, a British military port more than a hundred years ago.

You may not have heard about Portsmouth, but you should believe that its significance to the British dynasty is probably more important than London. This small town was the largest military factory of the British dynasty since the opium colonial era. It was the secret contract between Japan and Russia signed in 1905 to divide northeastern China. It was one of the most important military harbor fortresses of Britain during World War I and World War II.

In 1903, Portsmouth was filled with the desire to conquer the world with the "Don't Fall Empire."

A young man driving a de Dion car tour in Portsmouth stretched out across the blue English Channel. At the time, the speed limit on the street sign read "12 miles," but the young man added 22.5 miles to the code. In an instant, the siren roared, and a few police cars rushed around to chase this "mad man." The young man was arrested and his name was Alfred Dunhill.

Alfred's adventure was significant. Because of this incident, he invented the controversial "police probe." The detector looks like a transitional product between driving goggles and binoculars from the outside, and its advent became the focus of Alfred's dispute with the police. Dunhill's new product for customers was very interesting. With it, even if the police disguised themselves as polite gentlemen, car drivers could find their presence half a mile away. After paying 42 or 63 shillings for this value-for-money service, the oil giants of the early 20th century had sufficient time to adjust their speeds so that they could enjoy the driving experience of over 12 miles per hour on the road.

Since then, Alfred has been working as a “car maniac” throughout his life. He “produces any product other than a car” and he “only produces luxury goods for the hero”. He has been obsessed with speed, precision, and tobacco throughout his life; he is a driving man, a business genius, a pianist; he is never obsessed with affection but he is always infatuated with women; Alfred Dunhill is a hero of a veteran British gentleman.
