Obviously, he is also paying close attention to the recent election trend. Newt Gingridge, who was originally far behind in the polls, seemed quite excited today.

After hugging Simon enthusiastically, the two walked to the court together, and Gingrich couldn't wait to mention the news for the past two days: "Simon, I noticed the abortion topic that suddenly started in the media, or, can I boldly assume that you...I mean, the Westeros system is happy to see it?"

Simon took a club from Carmen Cath, who was a caddie himself, and waved it to try the feel, saying, "This is a very dangerous assumption. Newt, in the political circle, you should understand that most news events happen in a rather accidental situation, just like the Watergate incident that year."

The Democrats cannot admit it. On the Republican side, except for a few insiders, Simon will also firmly deny others.

It's still a matter of level.

As for someone who must not be willing to go down the road, Simon had no choice.

Newt Gingrich is a smart person who has no roots. After all, in a political circle, one thing that everyone is best at and must be good at is to tell lies with their eyes open.

A person who can't lie can't become a qualified politician.

The topic turned to daily life, Jin Liqi talked about taking his wife to watch "Soul Conjuring 4: Death" last night, and instead praised "Soul Conjuring 3: Blood Moon".

Obviously quite sure about something.

Entering the court, except Carmen, some other followers were pushed away from afar. Simon swung the ball and looked at the white dots flying away. The topic turned to the right track: "Newt, you should understand that you are not the core of the Bush family."

Newt Gingridge served as a member of the House of Representatives for 20 years and is of great importance in the Republican Party. However, this Georgia-born politician did not have much intersection with Bush. If it weren't for the secret deal between Simon and the Bush family, the other party would not have been able to get the position of Secretary of State as the first secretary of the White House Cabinet.

Of course, Newt Gingrich knew this and carefully shot a ball, walked to the next hit point with Simon, while saying: "Simon, I have had a great chat with George in the past few contacts this year. I believe everyone will get along well next..."

Speaking of this, Gingrich smiled and continued, "And, even if he couldn't fit into George's team, it was nothing. We were the same group, weren't we?"

Gingrich's clear statement made Simon very satisfied.

He smiled tacitly, Simon said: "So, for the future work direction, Newt, do you have your own plans?"

"I have considered some of it," Gingrich nodded: "Secretary of State is in charge of diplomatic affairs, George's team, combined with his own interests, I believe they will definitely focus on the Middle East. If George can trust me, I will try my best to cooperate. Otherwise, I will not forcefully interfere, but focus on the marginal areas in the eyes of most people in Washington, Simon, what do you think?"

Simon just thinks that chatting with smart people will indeed not be too brain-consuming.

Simon is not aimless to force a secretary of state to go online.

The federal Secretary of State is equivalent to the Minister of State and is in charge of foreign affairs. However, at the same time, the Secretary of State is also the first minister of the presidential cabinet, controlling the largest State Department under the White House, with very large authority.

With this authority, Simon's main goal is to achieve further expansion of the Westeros system on a global scale through the official federal power and cooperate with his various overseas layouts, not just economic layout.

Compared with the corporate positioning of the Westeros system, the official identity of the world's number one and only superpower is both legitimate and more powerful.

On the other hand, following Simon's wealth growth path, the global expansion strategy of the Westeros system is still to try not to touch on the already formed interest patterns, such as Western Europe, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, but to open up new areas.

This means that the main direction of the Westeros system's overseas expansion can only be various marginal areas in the eyes of the mainstream of the West.

The reason why Newt Gingrich hit the nail on the head is that he must have thought in detail in private.

There is no need for Simon to talk too much nonsense, and the two soon entered a more detailed discussion.

According to Simon's plan, after the change of leadership, Gingrich's first thing to do is to re-sort and strengthen the diplomatic ties between the Federation and various marginal countries.

Before this, especially in the decade after the end of the Cold War, while becoming the world's number one hegemony, the US diplomatic strategy has always been inclined to shrink, and for some inconspicuous small countries, the embassy was even directly abolished.

As for the most marginal regions such as Africa, except for large enterprises that continue to enter and plunder resources, many other things are ignored.

The Rwandan massacre in history actually happened in this state of ignorance. Otherwise, if the US-Soviet confrontation was still there, for the sake of its own interests, or even for pure reputational considerations, neither side would allow the tragedy to happen.

Simon wants to change this contraction state.

Then, through investment or aid, we will promote the economic development of these regions. While doing so, we will actually deeply bind the economies of all these regions with the United States.

In the past ten or twenty years, the United States had neither the motivation nor the strength to do this, but now it is still 2000. Everything in this country is at its peak. As long as the direction is determined, the resources that can be used are huge.

On the other hand, these marginal areas have developed and have a certain economic strength, which can not only become a market for high-end federal commodities, but also provide the United States with countless low-end industrial products and raw materials for production.

Furthermore, because the business goal is mainly small countries, even if they have achieved certain development, their strength is destined to be far from competing with the United States. Coupled with the deep economic binding, these countries are destined to become economic vassals of the United States for a longer period of time.

In short, a win-win situation to a certain extent, rather than a one-sided and continuous blood-sucking, or even exploitation through war, is the key to the long-term maintenance of federal hegemony.

As the main driving force behind all this, the Westeros system will also become the biggest beneficiary.

Starting at nine o'clock in the morning, Simon and Gingrich's golf talks lasted for three hours. If it weren't for other arrangements at noon, Simon would like to have lunch with each other and continue to talk about more details.

However, everything that should be said has been clearly explained.
