v2 Chapter 431： : Nicholas was elected president

In 1956.

A news sensationalized the world.

The United Kingdom passed Singapore's independence through Parliament and became a Commonwealth country, which means that Singapore has obtained a completely independent status.

Penang and Malacca are still the dominions of Hadi and belong to the British Empire.

Subsequently, Singapore invited other states of Malaya to join Singapore, hoping that everyone would form a federal state.

Johor was the first to respond to join.

Since Hardy planned the state of Johor, killed the original Sultan of Johor, and pushed Maha to power, Johor has actually been under Hardy's control.

Joining the Union State, Johor can completely break away from British colonial rule, and Maha can retain the status of Sudan, but there is not much real power.

The joining of Johor has had a great impact on other regions. Now Hadi’s strength in Malaya is so strong that those sultans do not see the hope of independence. Now the British agree to join the federation, but this federation is obviously again Under Hardy's control.

In either direction, they felt that the choice was not very satisfactory.

Because they want complete independence and greater rights and benefits.

Hardy is not in a hurry to deal with them. The focus of his development is Sarawak and Sabah, both of which are on the island of Kalimantan. Their population, race and beliefs are very different from the greenery of the Malayan Peninsula. .

Previously, it was also a directly governed colony.

There are too many types of colonies. In short, they are more controlled than those of Malayan sultans. There is no unified sultan in these two areas. Strictly speaking, they were bought by the British from the Kingdom of Brunei.

But now Brunei only retains a very small area.

Hardy intends to win them all over. As for Brunei, after asking, they disagree and intend to continue to remain independent.

In 1957.

After Hardy gave a series of preferential policies and social subsidies, Sarawak and Sabah agreed to join Singapore.

So far,

The Federation of Singapore was established, and the political system was a unitary system similar to that of the United Kingdom. A country with a parliamentary democratic cabinet system was a Commonwealth country, and the leader was the prime minister.

But at the same time,

It still recognizes the Singapore fiefdom of Hardy’s son David Hardy and some of the rights of the Sultan of Johor.

In fact, this is also to lay the foundation for the sultans of Malaya. Let them see that even if they join the Federation, they still have certain rights and benefits. Although it is impossible to become a king, they are also important people.

Siege,

It is the best policy to confine the three and the lack of one.

If all is blocked, the other party can only fight to the death, which is more troublesome.

Sabah has an area of ​​74,000 square kilometers, Sarawak has an area of ​​123,000 square kilometers, Johor has an area of ​​10,000 square kilometers, and Singapore has an area of ​​700 square kilometers.

The total area of ​​the Commonwealth of Singapore is 20.77 square kilometers.

On the Malayan Peninsula, the remaining area is only 100,000 square kilometers, and there are 9 Sudans on it.

In 1958.

The Federation of Singapore officially joined the United Nations.

As for the sultans on the Malayan Peninsula, they are still British colonies, and they feel that their power is getting weaker and weaker.

The Dominion of Hadi, the Federation of Singapore, anyone who is not stupid can see that these two places are controlled by Hadi, and as the territory expands, his power becomes stronger. Will he directly annex them in the next step? ?

So these Sudanese are flustered all day long.

independent,

After leaving the UK,

What will Hardy do when he starts the war? Who will protect them? If it is not independent, it will always be a British colony, and they are not reconciled.

In short, it is all kinds of entanglements.

Hardy doesn't care about them, let them struggle first. In this world, the final strength is the final word, so you must develop your own strength.

Strength includes several aspects.

economy,

Combat effectiveness,

There is also international influence.

In terms of economy, Hardy uses the Hardy Group channel to communicate with the United States, Europe, Japan and other countries, and is using Singapore’s resources to do business. The economic development of the Hardy Dominion and the Commonwealth of Singapore is much faster than other Asian countries. .

Fast speed means to seize the opportunity.

You can make more money in the future.

In terms of combat effectiveness.

The combat effectiveness of the Hadi Dominion still relies on the HD Defense Company, while the Federation of Singapore will establish a real army. After all, this is an independent country.

With Hardy’s relationship with the United States, he bought a large number of weapons from the United States, and many of them were supported by the Americans.

Including army equipment, naval ships and air force aircraft, but the Americans sent these are basically World War II weapons.

Hardy is not satisfied with these,

He said that President Eisenhower and the Secretary of Defense agreed that the Singapore Federation could order advanced weapons from American weapons dealers.

Hardy purchased 12 advanced jet fighters and 4 submarines.

Continue to be the king of Southeast Asia.

As for international influence, after Singapore joined the United Nations, Hardy had an international voice channel, or an important vote.

Is it important?

Who knows, anyway, get it first.

Hardy also wondered whether Cayman could become independent and get a ‘Duchy of Hardy’ and then get another ticket to the United Nations.

It's cool to open a small number.

......

The world is rolling forward.

Never stop.

In the 1960s, the United States accelerated the process of urbanization, and developed rapidly in the energy, basic industries, equipment materials, heavy equipment, electrical appliances, chemical industries, and durable consumer industries such as automobiles, electrical appliances, and real estate.

The Hardy Group has made large-scale investments in these areas and obtained large profits. The Hardy Group has grown into an American super-large group with assets of more than 30 billion.

The head of the California consortium, Giannini, passed away, and Hardy was highly anticipated and was elected as the head of the new generation of California consortium without any suspense.

60 years.

The new U.S. presidential election opens.

The Republican candidate Nicholas, and the Democratic candidate is Kennedy. Historically, Kennedy won by a narrow margin. There are several important reasons that affected the result of the election.

One is the television debate.

Last life,

During the TV debate, Kennedy was young and handsome and energetic. He repeatedly attacked Nicholasone on the show, which made it difficult for Nicholasone to resist, which seemed very embarrassing and made Kennedy win the audience.

The other is Kennedy's father. He found a mafia patriarch and asked the gang to help Kennedy get votes and made a promise.

At that time, the Mafia family patriarch believed it was true, and together with other members of the Mafia committee, helped Kennedy win votes in the states. This behavior also played a vital role in Kennedy's election.

However, after Kennedy came to power, the first attack was the Mafia, so many people in later generations suspected that Kennedy was killed by the Mafia for this reason.

But Hardy felt that the bigger reason for this guy's death was that it moved the cakes of other consortia.

Capitalists are better at killing people than the mafia.

this world,

With Hardy's help, Nicholasson gave Nicholasson speech training before the debate and drafted a large number of plans.

And the TV station for the debate is ABC TV.

At first Kennedy did not agree to be on ABC TV. Nicosson’s biggest supporter was Hardy, and ABC belonged to the Hardy Group. Then ABC was equivalent to Kennedy’s home court. He was afraid that the other party would have any arrangements.

But Nicholson insisted that if he were not on the ABC, he would rather cancel the televised debate. In fact, at this time, Kennedy was at a disadvantage in terms of votes. After all, he was just an ordinary senator before, while Nicholas was the vice president.

There is Hardy's support behind Nicholasone, and he obtained much more propaganda resources than Kennedy. Moreover, it was Nicholasone who was the first to anger McKinsey on Capitol Hill and then dismissed McKinsey.

This incident gave Nicholasone a lot of points and won many people's support.

If Kennedy does not have a big breakthrough and turnaround, I am afraid it will be difficult to win. He thinks that television debate is a good opportunity. If Nicholas gives up, it will not be good for him.

In the end, it can only be agreed to be carried out on ABC TV.

The debate between the two presidential candidates,

Although Kennedy performed well, passionately and sharply, but Nicholas was also good, calm and sophisticated, Kennedy did not take advantage of it.

afterwards,

The Global Times reported on this debate.

The evaluation given to Kennedy is that he is young and vigorous, not as calm as Nicosone. For the United States, a calm president is even more needed to lead everyone forward steadily. Young people tend to be more adventurous and radical.

Give Kennedy a label of instability.

When Kennedy saw this report, he fell the cup angrily.

As for the mafia to help, it is even more impossible. Hardy now has a much higher right to speak in the mafia than anyone else.

Originally, half of the people followed Hardy to invest in Las Vegas, and the other half relied on Basini. After Basini’s investment in Cuba completely failed, Basini’s prestige in the Mafia family plummeted.

Lost its dominance.

But just a year after the Cuban incident, Basini was shot and killed in the street. As for who made the move, there are different opinions.

Some suspect it is an external force, some other Mafia families who have lost money, and some suspect it is an internal struggle among the Basini gang.

No one alone doubted Hardy.

Half a year after Basini’s death, Hardy asked the other patriarchs to invite the other half of the patriarchs to build a new casino and asked them if they would like to invest. These people naturally rushed to join.

Now who doesn't know that Las Vegas is a cornucopia.

that's all,

The other half of the Mafia family has also become Hardy's partner.

The Kennedy family asked the Mafia for help. These people knew that Hardy was supporting Nicholas, and they were not stupid. How could they agree.

The Las Vegas casino opened a handicap,

To bet on whether Nicorsone or Kennedy will win, Nicorsone’s odds are always lower than Kennedy’s. Las Vegas’s presidential odds are known as the barometer of the presidential election. From this we can see that most people Choose to support Nicorsone.

November 60.

The new U.S. presidential election has been announced.

Nicholas won.

Nicholas was excited to keep Hardy, and Hardy was also very happy because he changed the course of history. From this point of view, perhaps he could change more.

After Nicholas was elected,

Beginning to form his own cabinet, Andy successfully entered the Nicholas cabinet and became the new Minister of Finance.

The president of the Hardy Group is replaced by someone else. The Hardy Group has been established for 10 years and has cultivated a complete reserve talent team. Andy does not need to worry about the operation of the Hardy Group when he leaves.

Mike belongs to the Democratic camp, and it is impossible to join the Nicholas cabinet, but he also went one step closer and was elected governor of California.

Mike is 40 years old this year, when he is young.

The old godfather Corleone passed away the year before and died of myocardial infarction. This disease is difficult to prevent. Since the death of the old godfather, the Corleone family has completely separated from the gang.

Mike’s son Anthony had his birthday. Anthony was Hardy’s godson. Hardy came to celebrate him. After the cake, Hardy and Mike went out to chat alone.

"Mike, Nicosson will stay in the presidency for eight years. After eight years, you will be 48 years old. I think it is very appropriate for you to be the President of the United States at that time."

"I will fully support you." Hardy patted his brother's shoulder vigorously.

Kennedy was elected president of the United States at the age of 43, and Mike was president at the age of 48, not young at all.

Mike nodded vigorously, "I will try my best!"

......

Kennedy lost the election.

He was very disappointed and lost,

He analyzed afterwards,

Nicholas is indeed stronger than him. Although he has the support of the Boston consortium and his own family behind him, he is still not as good as the Hardy group behind Nicholas.

Now the California consortium, the third largest consortium in the United States, is second only to Rockefeller and Morgan, and there is also the monster Hardy, making the California consortium more powerful.

On the other hand, although the Boston Consortium also made great efforts to support Kennedy, it did not work as hard as Hardy. If Hardy wanted to do something, he would do it all.

The Hardy Group is now at the helm of the California consortium, and his Hardy Group also owns ABC TV, the largest media group in the United States, such as the Global Times, and has much stronger connections in the wealth circle than the Kennedy family.

It is better to say that he lost to Nicholas than to Hardy.

Kennedy is a second-generation and a playboy. He is not only jealous of Hardy's financial power, but also jealous of Hardy's so many superb women.

Princess Margaret, Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardner, Audrey HepburnEspecially Marilyn Monroe, she is simply a stunner in the world. Whenever he thinks of him, he can’t help but vent on his lover. Something.

If it was someone else's woman, he would definitely dare to provoke him, but as Hardy's woman, Kennedy must also choose to retreat.

Now the lover next to him, he deliberately found a woman who looked a bit like Monroe, and made her cut short hair and dyed it blonde, just for obscenity.

It's ok.

I am still young and still a senator.

In the next election, he has a better chance. Nicholson will be in power for a few years, and there will inevitably be a lot of mistakes. Then he can seize his loopholes.

Kennedy cheered himself up.

After half a year passed, Nicholson's administration gradually got on the right track.

this day.

Kennedy met a new beauty. In order to avoid his wife, they drove out to play, and the woman's hand reached to the base of the man's thigh, winking like silk.

The car didn't drive fast, but Kennedy didn't pay attention, and a parking warning sign was erected in front of it.

It turned out to be broken in front.

When Kennedy reacted, he couldn't stop the car. The car plunged from the road to the end of the head, rolled over in the air, and slapped it with the top down.

When people found them, both of them had died.

Kennedy was a senator presidential candidate and a big man, and the newspaper reported his death.

When Hardy saw the newspaper, he was surprised.

Kennedy's death was really not made by him.

He was supposed to die in the presidency, but he was not elected president in this life. Hardy thought he would escape.

Unexpectedly, he didn't become a president now, and died in the end. It seems that even if this guy is not president, he has not escaped the "death curse" of the Kennedy family.
