Chapter 1397: BHP Billiton(1/2)

"According to news from Russia, Yeltsin wants to get Chernomerkin back to power, and has been rejected twice by the Russian Duma. Now the two sides are in a very dangerous stalemate. Yeltsin threatens to disband the parliament, and the Russian parliament also threatens to impeach Yeltsin and Simon. Which side do you think will compromise this time?"

Rebeld's Apartments on the Upper West Side.

Dinner time.

The one who spoke was Philip Rebel's girlfriend, named Nora Register, who was born in a political family in Washington, so the topic was inevitably about politics.

However, this problem is somewhat out of place.

With the Westeros system intervening at critical moments some time ago, many people know that Simon must have made some arrangements in Russia. Moreover, since taking action, the potential strength of the Westeros system in Russia must not be underestimated.

In this case, Simon has the ability to influence Russia's political situation.

Therefore, even if it seems that there is no family dinner outsiders, Simon is not suitable for expressing his opinion on this kind of problem. After all, if it spreads out, many people will inevitably think about it, and may even be regarded as Simon putting pressure on one side.

It’s hard to express my opinion, so I didn’t pretend to not hear it. I just smiled and said, “I can’t say it right, but it will be a result soon.”

Inside the restaurant.

Simon reacted so much and noticed that James Rebeld frowned slightly. After all, Nora Register, who had just walked out of school for a year, finally realized the inappropriateness of his problem. He smiled and couldn't help but glance at his boyfriend beside him.

Philip obviously liked his girlfriend, who was two years younger than him, and took the initiative to take the conversation: "I think Yeltsin should give in this time, because according to the Russian Constitution, once the parliament initiates impeachment, the president will lose the power to dissolve the parliament until the impeachment case is completed. However, this is also the most extreme approach, because once the impeachment is initiated, both sides will completely lose room for maneuver, either the president steps down or the parliament will be dissolved."

Simon still smiled and echoed: "It seems that's the case."

This is obviously what Philip and his girlfriend said in private, and in order to resolve the embarrassment just now, he said it in public.

The judgment is correct.

In history, Yeltsin made a compromise, abandoned his old partner Chernomerkin, and chose former Foreign Minister Primakov, who was acceptable to both the Kergeant and the Duma.

But the result is not very good.

After Primakov came to power and stabilized Russia's domestic economic situation, he immediately pointed his finger at the Yeltsin family and publicly stated that he would compete for the 2000 presidential election.

Then he was taken down by Yeltsin again.

In fact, Yeltsin won Chernomelkin, who had been with him for many years before, and it was because the other party showed too much covetousness for the presidential position. It was not the 2000 general election, but began to erode the power that originally belonged to Yeltsin in advance.

In any case, it is still for the position of the Palace of Killing.

Nora Register, who noticed that he had stepped on a little thunder, actually very smart, saw his boyfriend relieve the little embarrassment just now. Although he wanted to say a few words to Simon Westeros across the dining table, he still rationally chose to shut up.

The topic then turned to entertainment.

This insurance.

The atmosphere quickly revived.

After dinner, the women were chatting about family matters here. The Rebel and his son and Simon went to the study upstairs to talk about some serious matters.

Mainly the recent situation in Washington.

With only two months left before the midterm elections, the Republican Party launched a stronger attack with the help of the zipper door scandal, and invested tens of millions of dollars in buying advertisements just to crack down on the public image of the Democratic Party behind Clinton.

In many people's opinion, the Democratic Party is indeed in danger.

However, the Westeros system, which has mastered more public opinion and poll data, does not think so.

The public is rebellious.

But this time, the Republican Party has done a little too much, ignoring a series of evidence since Clinton came to power, and only focusing on some minor matters that are not unforgivable to the public. It is simply a bit unreasonable.

After all, Mr. President just slept with an intern.

What's wrong?

Kennedy had a lot of fun back then. In addition to Monroe, who everyone knows, there are also many White House interns among many lovers. But isn’t it still popular among the people?

Just do what you should do well.

The reality is that if you don’t consider the long term, Clinton has done a good job after nearly six years of taking office. The first fiscal year surplus in nearly 30 years that has begun to build momentum is enough to prove this.

Let’s talk about the upcoming midterm elections, the key to the operation of the Westeros system is also based on this.

Take advantage of the situation to help the Democratic Party fight a beautiful counterattack.

At least, the results were released at the end of the year. The Westeros system would instill this view into those who should know through some non-public public opinion operations. The Westeros system took action to help the Democrats fight a turnaround in the two houses under extremely unfavorable conditions.

But it only regained some seats.

In the overall situation, the majority pattern of the Republican Party leading the two houses will not change, which will prevent the Republican Party from rebounding.

The end result is to further strengthen the influence of Westeros system in American politics.

In addition to domestic affairs, the topic is inevitably turned to Russia.

James basically agrees with Simon's strategy of "raising bandits and self-respecting", but he has a little doubt: "Simon, I have learned a lot about Russia recently, and I also personally flew to Moscow. To be honest, even if we want to support Russia and let it continue to contain Europe and even the Federation itself, the problem is that according to the current development trend, besides collapse, I really can't see where the country's way out is?"

Simon didn't know if this was a fan of the authorities and said, "It's very simple, Jim, think about the first half of this century. When the problems accumulate and cannot be handled, what will be the result?"

Simon said this, and both the father and son reacted on the sofa next to him, almost speaking in unison: "War?!"

"Yes, war," Simon said: "But we don't have to worry. Russia was not Germany that suddenly provoked World War II after accumulating enough strength. Therefore, it could only launch a local war to unite the hearts of the people in the country and divert contradictions."

Philip said: "Simon, is it Chechnya?"

"Yes," Simon glanced at his brother-in-law with appreciation and said, "In order to ensure that Russia can win, we also need to carry out some operations in Washington, withdraw the federal arrangements in Chechnya, and reduce the support for Russia to capture Chechnya."

"Actually, I think..." Philip hesitated and said: "We shouldn't help Russia anyway. Or, what if one day it's too powerful?"

Seeing that James also showed a little approval, Simon smiled and shook his head, "It's impossible. After 1991, Russia's chances of rising again are already very slim."

"Why?"

"Because we have successfully dragged the former Soviet Union into our own rules of the game, and within this rule system, 30-year-old adults are destined to lose against 3-year-old children."

Philip asked: "What if this child grows to 18 years old?"

"If you were that 30-year-old adult, would you allow a 3-year-old to successfully catch up with yourself and threaten your position?"

"Of course not," Philip said: "So I will try my best to suppress his growth, not help."

"The fact is that we are not sincerely helping Russia. We just hope to avoid him dying too early and affecting our layout. In the final analysis, it is for our own interests. Philip, you have to know that I am talking about the interests of the Westeros system, not the interests of the federal ones, and we need to clarify our position."

Philip didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he had to nod.

Then he turned to other topics.

The three of them came out of the study, and it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Women were chatting in the living room on the same floor.

When the three of them entered the door, they happened to hear Jennifer telling interesting stories about her baby daughter: "I think Syl is getting more and more magical now. She is really like a little fairy with magical powers. Three months ago, Syl suddenly told me that a small bump will grow on her chin. I checked it and there was nothing. Then the next day, a red bump appeared on Syl's chin."

Both women showed a surprised expression and looked at the little girl who was already sleeping in her mother's arms. Carol did not ignore the key point of the problem. He first asked: "Why do you get bumps?"

"It's just an ordinary minor inflammation. The doctor has checked it and said that it doesn't require information. You can get better after improving your diet." Jennifer explained, then nodded to the three people entering the door, and continued: "Anyway, I thought it was really amazing at the time."

The three men sat down on the sofa in the living room. Not only was the first time they heard James and his son. Even Simon, who had already known about this, felt magical when he heard Jennifer talk about it.

At first, when her baby daughter showed something special, Simon even suspected that this girl was the same as herself. However, now, Simon thinks that the baby daughter is definitely different from herself. The little guy who is only five years old in November can detect and predict some subtle changes in his body. This is a real fairy.

Anyway, the family was amazed earlier that the little girl was so angry that she could not measure the specific high IQ.

The problem now is that, looking at yourself, according to Simon's memory in his previous life, this is already the category of cultivation.

Of course, the little girl did not show any potential for flying with swords, and there was no sign of the introductory skill of cultivating immortals from afar. However, the little guy who is less than five years old can only be described as magical. If an ordinary person has the ability to perceive subtle changes in the body, Simon thinks that it is easy to directly increase the average life expectancy of humans to 100 years old.

Speaking of which, if things go out, with such a magical daughter, everything Simon Westeros has achieved will probably be more and more natural.

I talked about some interesting things about Seattle. It was too late, so everyone left to rest.

The next day is September 15th.

Tuesday.

After breakfast, two children were left behind for Carol, who had deliberately turned off work, and Simon and Jennifer rushed to Westeros Building on the other side of Central Park.

After nearly two years of capping, the overall decoration of the building has basically ended.

The two of them walked from the vault on the fourth floor of the underground, from bottom to top, and spent a morning browsing the building, and finally had lunch at the top-floor mansion.

As in the cloud.

Even the female assistant who is used to the current life of a housewife and has a very weak mind is beginning to look forward to moving into the Westeros Building.

Of course it is impossible to live here for a long time.

However, it is definitely a very wonderful experience to live here for two or three months a year.

In addition to the building itself, another thing has also been finalized.

Regarding the helicopter apron near the top of the building, after repeated consultations with the New York City government and nearby owners, the Westeros family helicopters could fly to Westeros Building on a safest fixed route, roughly from the banks of the East River along the straight line above 59th Street.

This is a real privilege.

Because according to regulations, helicopters can be taken off, but they cannot enter downtown Manhattan unless otherwise specified, and can only fly over the rivers on both sides.

For this reason, the Westeros family has to pay a fee of $1 million every year, which is nominally used to conduct security inspections on the Wei family helicopters that skipped over 59th Street. In fact, the Westeros family does not need or allow outsiders to intervene in security checks at all, and their families will do the best.

Therefore, it is basically just buying money.

I saw Westeros Building together in the morning. The female assistant had some modifications to her preferences all day long. In the afternoon, she was a two-person world and went shopping together quietly.
