Chapter 1698: See through
In the small square in front of the manor villa, the children's crying was quite loud. Not far away, birds were shocked among the maple trees with sparse red leaves and flying away.
This is after breakfast.
Although it was Saturday, Simon still had a schedule. Roberta Chilco, who could not be kept, brought his son to say goodbye to his father. A little boy named Adam Westeros obviously did not sleep enough. In the cold outdoors in late autumn, his mother forced herself to send him to his father's arms, even more impatient, so she burst into tears.
Simon, Roberta, and the little foxes Angela Lindelwald and Fernanda Lima who saw each other farewell, the four of them took turns to persuade and comfort them, but it didn't work. Until a Slavic face nanny next to him spoke nervously, the little bitch was taken over, and his head was penetrated into the nurse's chest, and then he calmed down.
Roberta was very embarrassed. The child was the key link between her and Simon. The little guy was not close to his father. Even if a man rarely appeared, he was still nervous, worried that someone would not like the little guy in turn.
He followed Simon to the car door and hugged him again. Roberta looked forward to saying, "Next month's Victoria's Secret show, Simon, will you come to the scene?"
"I try to make time," Simon said, ignoring Roberta's nervous expression. Of course he didn't mind what had just happened. He reached out and stroked the girl's pretty face and said, "Maybe there is no need to walk the show on the day of the show. If I have time recently, I will go to the rehearsal."
As he said that, he said goodbye to the other two girls. Simon got into the car, and was surrounded by Carmen Cath, who was temporarily acting as his assistant when he stayed in Los Angeles.
The car started, and finally waved his hands at several women through the falling window. Simon turned to Carmen who had just signaled to him: "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Joseph Schrapp called before, looking very anxious."
Carmen Cath said, and got Simon's approval, he took out his cell phone and dialed it skillfully, and handed it to his boss.
Joseph Schlap, one of the heads of political affairs of the Westeros family, rushed to call. Combined with the morning newspaper, Simon could probably guess. After taking the phone and put it in his ear, he had already answered it. He asked him briefly, and Joseph Schlap, who was in Manhattan, talked about the serious matter.
Not as much as Simon expected.
According to various clues, Al Gore, who should have doubts about the attitude of the Westeros system in this election, may have been the topic of abortion that suddenly started yesterday, and finally confirmed Simon's position in this presidential election. It was still very early today, so Gore called Schrapp himself.
After some questioning, Schlapp certainly would not admit it.
However, Gore, who knew clearly what the public opinion storm would have to do with his election, also had a breakup. He accused Schlap of fiercely for more than ten minutes, and was almost cursing.
After roughly understanding some situations, I made an appointment to have breakfast together tomorrow. For more details, Simon hung up the phone.
The luxury car was shuttled through the forest path between East Hampton in autumn. Simon leaned on his seat and looked at the view outside the window. He was still holding the Nokia custom confidential mobile phone in his hand, thinking carefully about what had just happened.
He just called Schrapp and did not contact himself to try to save him. Gore may have completely confirmed Simon's attitude.
Gore's judgment is also correct.
This election is a shift in the political operation of the Westeros system.
Simply put, from the initial one-sided tendency toward the Democratic Party to the beginning of a comprehensive two-way bet.
This is actually an inevitable determination of the current situation of the Westeros system. After all, the super chaebol who is so big and truly rich can be regarded as a country. If the one-sided attitude remains, it will not only destroy the political balance of the federal government, but may also cause a strong backlash from the other side.
Simon is a person who pursues balance and pays attention to the doctrine of the mean. Of course, he does not want this situation to happen.
Therefore, on the overall political level, and at the same time supporting the two major parties in the United States, or higher-end rhetoric, the Westeros system will tend to the overall interests of the federal government, and will no longer be a simple party, which will become the inevitable choice that Simon will make sooner or later.
Of course, this presidential election, Simon is a little regretful about Bush's support for this presidential election.
The initial idea, on the one hand, hoped that history could continue to follow the track of the past in memory, and follow the map, would always be easier; on the other hand, it was a somewhat dark mind, hoping that Bush, like he used to do, would defeat the country's foundation through various tosses and struggles over eight years.
Simon initially felt that this country was weaker and it would be better to gradually fall into a situation like the Latin American country, which would be safer for the Westeros system.
As his thoughts deepened, Simon gradually changed his original thoughts.
The reason is very simple, because most of the industries in the Westeros system are on the large ship of the Federation. Not to mention the extreme situation, the ship will sink, "If the skin does not exist, where will the hair be attached?" Even if the ship becomes ragged, the carrying capacity will definitely be greatly weakened. On this ship, the largest Westeros system will inevitably bear the brunt.
In the final analysis, it is still a position.
For a long time, because the body was completely different soul, Simon subconsciously did not fully determine his position, and was very cautious about the country he was in today, and even had many preparations to jump ship at any time. Of course, this was also because Simon's foundation was unstable in the past few years.
Now, things are completely clear.
The alert still exists. If one day some situations happen, Simon will still decisively choose to "I would rather teach me to let the people of the world down." However, before that, he was on this ship, and for his own benefit, he must try his best to ensure that the ship can travel longer and farther.
Based on this consideration, it would be obviously inappropriate to put Bush on and mess around.
However, since the secret meeting with Bush Sr. in Aspen in early 1995, it was not easy to make a plan that was very early.
After weighing the trade-offs, Simon finally decided to continue the path that could allow him to 'follow the map'.
After all, with the memory in his mind and the current influence of the Westeros system, Simon is fully capable of limiting Bush Jr. to prevent him from doing too much. Some things in the past, such as the world-shaking plane crashing into a building next year, Simon is also determined to prevent this incident from happening, which can not only prevent a major shock to the US economy, but also prevent an unnecessary war from happening.
In addition, the Republican Party's anti-globalization tendency to protect local industries also coincides with some of Simon's next ideas.
More than ten or twenty years later, no matter which party came to power, it was desperately trying to promote the return of the US physical industry, because the elite finally understood that relying on finance alone was not possible. However, the entire American industrial system had withered and collapsed at that time, just like the withering late autumn outside the car window, which was difficult to return and was doomed to be futile.
And this time, as long as the measures are done properly, it can still be restored to a considerable extent.
Promoting Bush to power and allowing the conservative Republican Party to rule can better advance Simon's vision.
On the other hand, Simon still hates the Democratic Party’s tendency to continuously promote federal political correctness until it eventually becomes extreme, even if the serious division of the underlying class caused by this tendency is actually conducive to the control of the upper class of the pyramids over the country.
After all, this is a matter of pursuing.
Just like another form of finance, no matter how beautiful the bubble is, it will break a day.
Therefore, this time the party rotation is considered a neutralization.
In short, as long as the choice is properly operated, it will only be beneficial to the Westeros system.
The problem now is the follow-up treatment of this choice.
Simon was not worried about Gore himself. After losing this election, Gore's political life was basically over. Even though he was a political family, the foundation of the Gore family was much shallower than that of the Bush family, and it would not have any impact on the Westeros system in the future.
Mainly the Democratic Party.
First of all, Simon wouldn't be so stupid as to publicly admit it.
Even if the Democratic Party obtains some evidence next, as long as Simon does not admit it, it will actually be a step for both sides.
After all, it was only Gore who was injured.
However, this is also a concealment to a certain extent. After all, Simon's work like this will definitely be a serious betrayal in the future of many Democrats. Things spread and various questions are inevitable. A rift of trust will appear between each other, which will have a negative impact on future cooperation.
Moreover, there is no good solution to this matter.
Only leave it to time.
Fortunately, as American politics increasingly returns to the supremacy of money, Simon also believes that in the face of real interests, it is easy for people to forget history.
People are always forgetful.
Feeling the car slowly stopping, Simon retracted his thoughts, noticed Carmen's concerned gaze beside him, smiled, and said, "It's impossible to be a good gentleman all the time."
The bodyguard opened the car door and Simon got out of the car. In front of him was a golf course located in the northern suburbs of East Hampton.
A middle-aged man with round face and gray hair who arrived early saw Simon appear and quickly greeted him with a smile.
This is Newt Gingridge.
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives, who has been in the House of Representatives for twenty years, is a typical veteran politician and the backbone of the Republican Party who has been pursuing the Clinton sex scandal in previous years. In addition, the most important thing is that Gingrich is the next Secretary of State who was agreed in advance with Simon and the Bush family.
Of course, the premise is that Bush Jr. can be elected.
Just like Gore, the Westeros system also has some indefinition.
However, after that phone call in the morning, Gore didn't even have the intention to contact Simon directly. Obviously, even if the other party could turn the situation around and be elected magically, the prior agreement would probably be invalidated.
It's a coincidence that Simon asked Newt Gingrich to play golf together today, which was considered as a contact. By the way, if Gingrich's work direction is decided after someone is elected, it is impossible to wait until everything is settled before making plans. Unexpectedly, something went wrong with Gore.
