Chapter 1771: Is there such a thing as forever
In 2000, the United States is still in its peak period after the Cold War, and its national life is also very good. Therefore, the results of the election were released. Although various noisy and controversial issues were inevitable, the society as a whole quickly accepted it without any signs of martial law and riots more than ten or twenty years later.
It is probably difficult for Americans to imagine that such a thing will happen one day in the future when they are powerful and great.
People always treat the short-lived eyes as eternal.
Westeros system.
Simon took a short break as a bystander on Tuesday and returned to work the next day.
It’s just that the election is related, and there are still too many follow-ups to be dealt with.
At the same time, after the North American stock market rebounded sharply on the day of the election, it continued to rise overall for three consecutive trading days. The Nasdaq Index returned to a high of above 8,000 points on Thursday, November 9, and Yingerit Company has also become a trillion-dollar market value giant again.
The situation is getting better.
Simon did not relax because he knew that there was a sudden big reversal at the end of the election and Gore was defeated, and it was impossible for the Democratic Party to have no emotions. The reason why it did not happen like in 1994 was because of the North American stock market.
Now the Nasdaq is just a "porcelain doll". No one dares to touch it. If it breaks, no one can afford it.
Simon's side has just proved that the Westeros system has the ability to turn the tables at any time, so it cannot deal with them too fiercely.
However, it is impossible not to respond.
According to Simon's news, on the second day after the election, some lawmakers had quietly made a secret proposal and planned to further strengthen the supervision of election laws.
Although, Simon doesn't think it can work.
After all, if you don’t have money, the other party may be charged, and the result will only increase and decrease. Therefore, the most rational but fundamentally, it is also the way to quench thirst by drinking poison. If you accept it, I will also accept it. If you relax, I will also relax. As for the future, I will not care about so many things.
Just like the 2016 election, anyone with discerning eyes saw the serious fueling of social networks. Afterwards, there was a rumor that the FB was punished by $4 trillion. In the end, they still raised high and let go.
Capital is still capital.
The social networks that control public opinion are still those social networks.
However, a certain trend has to be guarded against.
Simon's approach is to keep the water hidden from the soil on the one hand, and to continue to prepare for the future.
Double protection.
Manhattan, inside the super mansion on the top floor of Westeros Building.
It is November 10th.
Friday.
Simon had an appointment at home here at noon to have a meal with his private military affairs assistant Celia Miller, mainly considering confidentiality.
Today’s topic is part of planning ahead.
Discussing the continued infiltration of the federal military, there is only one target related to the topic, the National Guard.
The National Guard, which has the same legal status as the regular US Army, is simply a military force targeting the United States. For example, the Los Angeles riot in 1992, was the National Guard the first to suppress it.
In addition, Simon also attracted the attention of the National Guard that the command of the National Guard is at the state government level, which means that in some cases, it is much less difficult for the Westeros system to indirectly mobilize the National Guard than the regular army that needs to go through the Washington channel.
As for the Westeros system has cultivated tens of thousands of private troops around the world, why does it still infiltrate the US military?
The reason is very simple, for the sake of "justice".
And, this makes it easier for Simon to stand behind the scenes and keep his hands on the brute.
This is actually like the "unofficial organization" that the Federation is best at using to make trouble outside. If it is done, it has nothing to do with me, but the interests are real. If it is screwed up, it has nothing to do with me, but it has lost some consumables.
By the same token, if something happens, if the Westeros system immediately launches private troops, it may produce stronger feedback. However, if the National Guard or the US military is filled in, whether it is internal or external, even if everyone knows that you are doing something, there is nothing to do on the surface.
Because the official troops are legally justified.
For example, in suppressing the chaos of the 92 Los Angeles riots, the National Guard will be a matter of course. If the Wei Furniture Army enters the field, the result will be more likely to arouse more intense civil unrest.
On the other hand, the method of penetration is not difficult, funding, cultivating, climbing step by step, and finally gaining considerable command power.
Simon doesn't mind spending money, and the key to this matter is time.
If you spend a lot of money in a short period of time, the effect will not be too great and may also arouse official alert. Therefore, you can only go through a long-term operation of ten or twenty years, not only the cultivation of loyalty, but also the deep binding of interests, so that you can achieve the needs of Simon, such as using your fingers.
Speaking of which, now, 20 years are exactly a node.
The lunch lasted nearly two hours. As it was about to end, Celia Miller promised to advance Simon's request as soon as possible, and couldn't help saying, "Boss, help Bush Jr. get the presidential throne. I thought you would be very happy recently, but I didn't expect... I mean, I think you feel even more insecure?"
Simon ate a plate of fruit salad with a fork and heard this, "Maybe I have read too much history, and history has proved countless times that people in my position are too easy to be regarded as targets, or scapegoats, because few people are willing to admit that they have made mistakes, and most people prefer to push mistakes on others. Therefore, I am such a conspicuous guy, born to be wrong."
Celia smiled with consolation: "Boss, you should be more confident in the federal system."
"I have always believed that the fundamental reason why the Federation has been able to reach this point is that we are in a separate land block far away from disputes. It is luck, not a system."
A similar argument has been told by his boss to himself, but Celia cannot fully recognize it, but she cannot refute it. After thinking about it, she couldn't help asking: "Boss, I'm a little curious. If... I mean, what would you do if... I'm talking about the worst situation you predicted will happen one day in the future?"
"Escape," Simon said: "But before leaving, I will destroy everything I can. It should be my thing. If someone comes to rob them, they will only get a piece of ruin."
Celia couldn't help but imagine the appearance of the Westeros building where she was located at this time, and she was a little silent for a moment.
Simon put down the silver fork in his hand, saw the woman opposite him not talking, and asked with a smile: "Are you scared?"
Celia nodded slightly.
I remembered it in my heart that it seemed like it had been a long time ago. My boss was still a poor boy at that time and was attacked by a group of unscrupulous young people in Hollywood. Then, according to the details of the media later dug up, the man opposite was obviously seriously injured, but he still dragged the guys into the alley one by one, breaking one leg.
The picture, I feel a little scary when I think about it.
It seems that a similar plot was filmed in a movie a few years ago, and that low-cost B-level film made a big profit because of this gimmick.
Simon took out the napkin on one side and wiped his hands, and then said, "I have always felt that I am not a good person because the fundamental rules of this world determine that a real good person cannot climb the upper level of the pyramid unless he is already on it. However, I really hope that the world can become better because it is good for all of us. I have been working hard to advance this matter with practical actions. On the other hand, the problem is that I am a very serious pessimist. I advocate that giving will rewards, and giving will rewards, but I never believe that a person will give will rewards, so I am not sure if I can eventually change the world and make it better."
Celia looked up.
Simon quickly continued: "My expectations are actually very low. If I give it and the world gives me a disappointment, it doesn't matter. But if the world in turn hurts me and my family, I will definitely fight back and fight back at all costs, even if it destroys the world because of this."
It was two o'clock in the afternoon.
Celia said goodbye and left, Simon remained in Westeros Building, and soon welcomed the next visitor.
Chen Qing was led by the female housekeeper to an open hall on the lower floor of the mansion. When she saw her boss sitting next to a piano near the glass curtain wall, she accelerated her pace and walked over. She wanted to throw herself into her arms and hugged her. When she was glanced, she could only sit side by side with her boss on the bench, listening to the occasional ding Dongdong.
Simon spoke first and said in Chinese: "How is Buer's recent?"
Chen Qing immediately showed a flattered expression, and came over and posted it: "It's great, the boss can ask about it as soon as possible, I'm so moved."
For some reason, this girl always lets herself relax quickly, and Simon smiled: "I thought you would accompany Jenny and the others in Asia, the host."
"There are neighbors in Southeast Asia. I will go back tomorrow and I will visit my wife next Monday," Chen Qing explained, adding: "The North American stock market these days, Xiangshan Network has been frightened. The above is also asking about this matter specifically. I am very worried that I can only come over and see it myself."
Simon recalled the IPO related to Xiaxiangshan Network and said: "As long as your rhythm remains unchanged, it will be fine to complete the listing in early December."
Chen Qing stretched out her beautiful fingers and pressed the keys with her boss. Ding Dongdong looked over with her eyes: "Boss, why are you so sure?"
Simon shook his head: "I won't tell you."
"Hmm..." Chen Qing felt aggrieved and said with a plea: "I also brought a gift to the boss this time."
Of course, Simon knew what the gifts were from the girl beside him, but he was not very interested at this time: "I don't know how many 'gifts' you saved for me. I'm very expensive to keep them."
"Not many, I bring it to North America every time. Well, the boss hasn't seen it before, there are only more than one hundred," Chen Qing shook her white fingers: "There are a lot more in Asia, and the boss wants as much as he wants."
Simon randomly knocked out a rising syllable and said, "Take the time to release some animals, you can't afford to raise them."
"Boss, the canary who is used to the exquisite life in the cage will die when put in the wild."
"Not a canary."
Chen Qing tilted her head and suddenly smiled badly: "Boss, do you want to see, that, from His Royal Highness the Princess suddenly returned to Cinderella's state, tsk, the difference is quite interesting to think about it, how many of them will be released recently?"
"If you can do more bad things, do more and follow me to hell in the future."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll be with the boss..." Chen Qing lit her head with a smile, reached out to pause on the piano keys: "...Chi, flag, tens of thousands, kill, Yan, Luo."
Simon didn't take this, and some feeling emerged, his fingertips bounced.
Chinese songs.
He hummed while playing: "... At the age of seven, I grabbed the cicada and thought I could catch summer. At the age of seventeen, after kissing her face, I thought I could be with her forever..."
Chen Qing immediately calmed down and listened carefully.
Simon hummed a sentence, stopped, and after a moment, he found some lyrics and some tunes.
*...
*Is there such a kind that will never change forever?
*The beauty that has been embraced will never be broken again.
* Let the steep years not be wild on your face, let life and death be far away
*Who can hear it.
