Chapter 638 Closing (Repair)
The international community has responded differently to the turbulent situation in Rwanda in just one week.
At this stage, the United Nations has not yet completely become a vase-like existence many years later. There were many countermeasures to the unauthorized actions of the Westeros system.
However, this time, Westeros mercenaries were in the forefront, and the United Nations' decision not only did not stop the atrocities but instead evacuated peacekeeping forces during the early stages of the outbreak of the Holocaust, which was criticized by international public opinion. Faced with the request of the Rwandan government to intervene after the complete defeat of the first battle with Westeros mercenaries, the senior UN leaders simply pretended to be deaf and mute, until the Hutu regime was overthrown on April 26.
In addition to the Rwandan government, France was the one who responded more fiercely.
After the French media began to publicize the casualties caused to Rwandan civilians by Westeros after the targeted removal of the Rwandan broadcasting system on April 19, they also strongly condemned the Westeros mercenaries and demanded that Simon immediately stop military operations in Rwanda.
When the war ended on April 20, the French government jumped out and demanded that the United Nations impose sanctions on the Westeros system, on the grounds that Westeros' mercenaries' attacks on the Rwandan government forces were almost massacres.
However, when the second war ended on April 22, France was like a duck who was suddenly strangled by someone, and the original condemnation came to an abrupt end.
It was indeed strangled by someone.
Less than two hours after the second war, French President Mitterrand personally called Simon's office and asked him to immediately release the French advisory group that was secretly detained by Westeros mercenaries.
Simon does not intend to spread this matter. After all, the Westeros system will still do business in France in the future, and it is impossible to completely break up. If this is true, the Westeros system will be difficult to move forward in France in the future.
However, Simon would not be so stupid that he immediately handed over this huge handle to the French government.
Once the bargaining chips in hand are exposed at this stage, under the strong pressure of public opinion, it will be enough for a large number of senior French military and political officials and even President Mitterrand to resign.
Without planning to uncover the lid, Simon would not let the Frenchman go easily.
While secretly interrogating the French advisory group soldiers and relevant Rwandan government forces and collecting and retaining more evidence as much as possible, Simon also strongly demanded that Mitterrand must compensate Westeros for the losses caused by French interference.
Not only the three damaged Mi-24 helicopters, but also the pensions of the casualties of Westeros' mercenaries in the two battles, were counted on the French government.
This time, the rebellion between the Westeros system and the French government has been overthrown for a long time has been irreconcilable.
Resisting and maintaining cooperation in contradictions can be said to be a common state of survival between many countries, enterprises and even individuals in this world. The main body with only friends but no enemies basically does not exist. The continuous expansion of Westeros system is even more impossible to have the best of all forces.
As long as the Westeros system, which does not openly break up and has enough chips, can still maintain the greatest peace of mind with the French government in the future. This is enough.
On the United States, the White House was quite dissatisfied with Simon's ignoring the warning that Ukrainian mercenaries made a big splash in two military operations. Fortunately, the Westeros system did not promote it on a large scale in the United States. Instead, it gave many shots of US peacekeeping soldiers in the refugee camps through live broadcasts on the Internet, which eased the negative emotions of the top leaders to a certain extent.
Regarding the military operations of Westeros mercenaries, most of the American media have basically shown one-sided support under the guidance of the Westeros system.
Eastern European side.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, due to the collapse of the country and the decline of the economy, the national sentiment of many countries in Eastern Europe had already reached its lowest point.
The former Soviet Red Army's momentum in this Rwanda military operation once again made Eastern European countries regain a lot of national pride, and spared no effort to promote the victory of Westeros mercenaries in Africa, while many Eastern European politicians, media and the public began to miss the powerful Soviet era, and at the same time reflected on the current national status.
Is what I get now really what I once wanted?
Unfortunately, the powerful Soviet Union is destined to be a passing cloud.
Local in Africa.
Congolese President Mobutu, who was originally closely related to the Rwandan Hutu regime, also publicly accused Westeros mercenaries of the "aggression" behavior. After the war on April 20, the Central African oligarch immediately became silent. After all, if such an army turns its guns, it will be no problem to attack the KMT all the way to the KMT.
South African saint Mandela, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year, was participating in South Africa's first interracial presidential election, just called on all parties to maintain restraint and hope to resolve the problem through peaceful means rather than war.
As for other African countries, and even other countries that do not care about themselves, they all honestly act as melon-eating people.
These days, although the attention of domestic media and public in the United States is attracted by the distant African Rwanda, many things continue.
The April 15 bombing at Woodfield Manor in Pittsburgh was not forgotten.
However, because many key clues are unsustainable after investigation, the explosion will basically be closed with the private revenge of the former employee of Monroeville Machinery. As for the details of the source of the C4 explosive, the task force can only fuzz it.
The truth that exists among a very small number of core senior executives in the United States cannot be put on the table.
Because there is no substantial evidence that can directly point to Simon Westeros, the so-called truth is just a pieced together by agents who have long been monitoring the Westeros family through some clues.
Some time ago, all agents responsible for monitoring the Westeros family were suddenly thrown to Tierra Tierra, south of the world. Westeros also made harsh words. The federal senior officials dared not launch a test against a young tycoon in the short term. During this period, it was enough for the other party to annihilate all possible evidence.
Because of this bombing that shocked the whole country, a member of the U.S. Congress proposed a bill, hoping to mark explosive dangerous goods in Country M so that the source can be retrieved based on relevant markings after similar explosions occur again.
This proposal received support from many members of Congress and the media for a time.
Of course, many people also understand that even if this bill is successfully passed, it will definitely not be able to control explosives from outside the United States.
But this is not something that some people care about.
In addition to this bombing with too bad effects, another hedge fund manager was shot in the head, and three other family tragedies distributed throughout the United States have quickly disappeared from the public eye. After all, in the United States where guns are flooded, similar cases occur almost every week and even the media. Moreover, with the generally low case-solving rate of the US police, many homicide cases end up being left unresolved.
The Westeros system's comprehensive ban on the Hurst Group and the litigation bombing have also not stopped.
These days, new lawsuits have not been filed again.
However, only six lawsuits have been filed, a huge claim amount of $370 million is enough for Hurst Group to be in a long while. Simon does not intend to initiate more lawsuits in the short term, which is not necessary, and if it is excessive, it may really cause a rebound from traditional American media and senior federal government officials.
Hurst Group retaliated by closing three newspapers that were initially prosecuted, but ended up backfiring.
Before Simon could release some information he heard secretly, the three new lawsuits subsequently put the Hurst family in an embarrassing dilemma.
If the Westeros system initiates a lawsuit and closes a newspaper, the entire Hurst Group will soon collapse completely.
The Westeros system has also been paying attention to the Hurst family's contacts with newspaper industry unions and senior federal government officials.
Simon is not in a hurry to release the monitoring information, and is also waiting for the right time.
When the Hurst family joins some forces to launch an official attack, the black material will be released in time, which will be enough to turn the Hurst family's counterattack into another joke.
Moreover, delaying the release of the black material in his hands can prevent the Hurst family from realizing too early that they are being monitored, so as to obtain more private news about the core characters of the Hurst family.
Daenerys Entertainment's IPO process went smoothly.
The group has submitted a second edition prospectus, supplementing some personnel appointments of Daenerys Entertainment after the IPO, including the composition of board members, and a new compensation plan after the listing of core management such as Amy Pascal.
Some members of Congress, who stand opposite to the Westeros system, are still calling for the blockade of Daenerys Entertainment's dual equity structure.
However, neither the White House nor the Congress made a formal statement. After all, this matter is too much involved. Many large American companies have adopted multiple equity structures. If Daenerys Entertainment is prevented from enabling this equity structure model, will the equity systems of other similar companies be abolished?
Think about the wealthy families that control a large number of well-known American companies through multiple equity structures. If the White House and Congress dare to do this, it would be dead.
In any case, at least for Daenerys Entertainment, the dual equity structure model is an irreversible for the end of the day.
Even if Congress is determined to promote changes in relevant legal terms, it is impossible for a year or two to do so. And at that time, in order to avoid strong resistance from the upper level of the entire federal pyramid, it will definitely propose unretrospective clauses, which will only target new companies in the future.
East Coast, United States, Greenwich, Connecticut.
It is Friday, April 29th.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Celia Miller ended her early meeting with several members of the already fixed Westeros Assistant Office of Military Affairs in downtown Greenwich, and drove to Westeros Manor on the northern outskirts of the city with Emily Joplin.
Today is destined to be a busy day.
The United Nations will hold an emergency special meeting on the Rwanda issue at the United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan, New York, and Celia Miller, who has been basically recognized during this period, will attend as Simon's personal representative.
The meeting time is ten o'clock in the morning.
This meeting will discuss peacekeeping, aid, reconstruction and other matters in Rwanda after the war. However, these are not actually the core. The key is the issue of Westeros mercenaries. The United Nations hopes Westeros mercenaries can withdraw from Rwanda as soon as possible to avoid excessive interference in the country's internal affairs.
At the end of the morning meeting, Celia Miller will also hold private talks with French representatives to the United Nations and Rwanda representatives to the United Nations in the afternoon to discuss certain matters that both sides are closely watching.
Celia Miller did not expect that an inconspicuous ordinary official, originally a branch of the Ministry of Defense, could suddenly sit at the United Nations headquarters and discuss international affairs on an equal footing with representatives from all over the world.
Because of his origin in Washington, Celia Miller has an instinctive yearning for power and status.
This time, attending the United Nations conference as the spokesperson for Simon Westeros this time brought her a strong sense of satisfaction that she had not seen in politics for so many years. At least, in her name her husband's mediocre ability, she would never be in the spotlight of the international political stage in her life.
Black Chevrolet stopped in front of the manor villa, and Emily in the driver's seat reminded Celia Miller in the back row only to come back to her senses from focusing on reading the documents in her hands.
After a quick check of her clothes, Celia Miller looked up at the front rearview mirror and unexpectedly noticed that Emily was also checking her makeup through the rearview mirror.
The two of them quickly staggered their eyes when they met for a moment, and they pushed the door and got out of the car together.
Celia Miller, two young girls in the Military Affairs Assistant Office, did not choose Zoe Hillster, who was as good as hers, but chose the tall and slender Emily Joplin. In fact, she also had little thoughts. She did not want a girl of the same type but had a young advantage to threaten her.
Although Westeros seems to prefer mature women, who knows whether men's interests will change inexplicably.
Men get up and change.
Only now do I realize that the assistant she selected was also working on her own little abacus.
Celia Miller wanted to ask Emily Joplin to wait in the car, and she could just go in alone, but it was too obvious that this was the case, and the personnel appointments in the assistant office were not in her hands. Although Emily Joplin was the assistant to her, Simon Westeros' personal military assistant, the jurisdiction of both parties was not clear.
I decided to wait and talk to the young boss about this matter, but now Celia Miller can only bring Emily into the villa.
The two were greeted by a baby-faced girl, who introduced herself to Zoe Parks.
Entering the villa, Zoe led the two to a living room on the east side of the villa. Another woman of the same age as Celia Miller saw them appear, and smiled and got up from the sofa. The woman was wearing a obviously wide white men's shirt and light gray loose trousers, looking very home-friendly. Although the scarf on her neck was somewhat inconsistent, she still couldn't hide the elegant temperament and charming charm that was enough to make many men crazy.
If Emily Joplin only made Celia Miller feel a little threat, the woman in front of her directly made Celia Miller have some instinctive tit-for-tat thinking.
Sofia Fessi.
The female leader of Melisandra's company in the Westeros system's "Four Women".
Celia Miller happened to know each other, and she saw reports and interviews in fashion magazines more than once, and she was envious of this woman's experience more than once, and she was secretly bitter. Why didn't she get such an opportunity...
Even though the relationship between Sofia Fessi and Simon Westeros is well known and has been confirmed with his own eyes, it is impossible to deny the great achievements this woman has made in the fashion industry in recent years. In recent years, Melisandra Company seems to be the weakest among the four women, but in the fashion industry, Melisandra Company has become a comprehensive luxury industry giant with a market value of 10 billion US dollars.
