Chapter 1698

In the small square in front of the manor villa, the cries of the children were quite loud, and there were birds among the maple trees with sparse red leaves not far away, chirping and flying away.

This is after breakfast.

Although it was Saturday, Simon still had a schedule. The unstoppable Roberta Chilco carried his son over to say goodbye to his father. A certain little boy named Adam Westeros obviously didn't get enough sleep. In the cold, the mother also forcibly sent herself into her father's arms, which made her even more impatient, so she burst into tears.

Simon and Roberta, as well as the little foxes Angela Lindwald and Fernanda Lima, took turns to persuade them together, but it didn't work until the Slavic-faced nanny who was waiting next to him spoke in a panic. , Little Dot was taken over, and his head burrowed into the nurse's chest, only then did he calm down.

Roberta is very embarrassed. The child is the key link between her and Simon. The little guy is not close to his father. Even if a certain man rarely appears, it is inevitable that he will be apprehensive, worrying that someone in turn will treat the little one. Guy doesn't like it.

Step by step, he kept sending Simon to the door, and hugged again. Roberta looked forward to it: "Next month's Victoria's Secret show, Simon, will you come to the scene?"

"I'll try my best to make time," Simon said, noticing Roberta's anxious expression. Of course he didn't mind what happened just now. He reached out and stroked the girl's pretty face, and said, "Maybe there's no need for the day of the show. If you have time recently, I'll go to the rehearsal."

After saying goodbye to the other two women, Simon got into the car, with Carmen Keith, who temporarily acted as his assistant when Girl A stayed in Los Angeles.

The car started, and finally waved to several women through the falling window. Simon turned to Carmen who had just signaled to him: "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Joseph Schlapp called in a hurry."

Carmen Keith said, got the approval of Simon's eyes, took out her mobile phone and dialed it skillfully, and handed it to her boss.

Joseph Schlapp, one of the heads of the Westeros family's political affairs, called in a hurry, and combined with the morning newspaper, Simon could probably guess. He took the phone and put it in his ear, it was connected, and he simply greeted, and Joseph Schlapp, who was in Manhattan, started talking about business.

Not one thing Simon expected.

According to various clues, Al Gore, who should have been skeptical of the Westeros system in this election, may be the abortion topic that has suddenly been hyped since yesterday. The position in the general election, it was still very early today, and Gore personally called Schlapp.

After some questioning, Schlapp certainly would not admit it.

However, Gore, who was clearly aware of the consequences of this public opinion turmoil on his election, was also a little bit ripped off. He vehemently accused Schlapp for more than ten minutes, and then he was about to curse.

After getting a general understanding of the situation, we made an appointment to have breakfast together tomorrow. After discussing more details, Simon hung up the phone.

The luxury car shuttled on the East Hampton forest road in the autumn. Simon leaned on the seat and looked out the window, still holding the Nokia customized confidential mobile phone in his hand, thinking about what happened just now.

Just calling Schlapp, without contacting his side to try to recover, Gore may have completely determined Simon's attitude.

Gore was right.

This election can be regarded as a turn in the political operation of the Westeros system.

To put it simply, from the initial one-sided leaning towards the Democratic Party, to the beginning of a comprehensive two-way bet.

This is actually an inevitability determined by the current state of the Westeros system itself. After all, it is so big that it is truly a super chaebol that can be called a wealthy country. If it still maintains a one-sided attitude, it will not only destroy the political balance of the Federation, but also may cause other problems. A strong backlash from one side.

Simon is a person who pursues balance, pays attention to the middle way, and certainly does not want this situation to happen.

Therefore, at the overall political level, supporting the two major political parties in the United States at the same time, or higher-end rhetoric, the Westeros system will be inclined to the overall interests of the federation, rather than a single party, which will become Simon An inevitable choice to be made sooner or later.

Of course, in this presidential election, Simon regretted his support for Bush Jr. frankly.

The original idea, on the one hand, I hope that history can continue to follow the track in memory, and it will always be easier to follow the map; Toss and defeat the heritage of this country.

Simon initially felt that the country was weaker, and it was better to gradually reduce to a situation like the Latin American countries, which would be safer for the Westeros system.

With the deepening of thinking, Simon gradually changed the original idea.

The reason is very simple, because of the Westeros system, most of the industry is on the big ship of the Federation, not to mention extreme cases, the ship sank, 'the skin does not exist, the hair will not be attached', even if the big ship becomes tattered Rotten, the carrying capacity will definitely be greatly weakened, and on this ship, the largest Westeros system will definitely bear the brunt.

In the end, it's still a position.

For a long time, because the body was completely another soul, Simon did not completely pinpoint his position subconsciously. Of course, this aspect is also due to Simon's unstable foundation in the past few years.

Now, things are completely clear.

The alert still exists. If one day, certain situations occur, Simon will still decisively choose 'I would rather teach me to betray the world'. However, before that, I was on this ship. For my own interests, I must try my best to ensure this ship. Boats can travel longer and farther.

On the basis of these considerations, it is obviously out of time to put Bush Jr.

However, since the secret meeting with Bush Sr. in Aspen in early 1995, it is not easy to reverse the layout that started very early.

After weighing, Simon finally decided to continue the road that allowed him to 'follow the chart'.

After all, with the memory in his mind and the current influence of the Westeros system, Simon has the ability to limit Bush Jr. and prevent him from being too chaotic. Some things in the past, such as the plane crashing into a building that shook the world next year, Simon is also determined to prevent this from happening, which can not only avoid a major shock to the US economy, but also prevent an unnecessary war from happening.

Furthermore, the anti-globalization tendency of the Republican Party to protect local industries also happens to be in line with some of Simon's next thoughts.

After more than ten or twenty years, no matter which party came to power, they desperately wanted to promote the return of the real industry in the United States, because the elite finally understood that finance alone is not enough. However, at that time, the entire American industrial system had withered and fallen, just like the withered late autumn outside the car window at the moment.

And this time now, as long as the measures are taken properly, it can still be recovered to a considerable extent.

Pushing George W. Bush to power and letting the conservative Republicans govern is just the best way to advance Simon's vision.

On the other hand, Simon still deeply resents the Democratic Party's tendency to continuously promote the political correctness of the federation until it eventually goes to extremes, even if the severe division at the bottom caused by this tendency is actually conducive to the control of the country at the top of the pyramid.

After all, it's vain after all.

Just like another form of finance, even the most beautiful bubble will burst one day.

Therefore, this time the rotation of political parties is regarded as a neutralization.

All in all, this choice, if done properly, will only benefit the Westeros system.

The question now is the follow-up to this selection.

Simon is not worried about Gore himself. If he loses this election, Gore's political life is basically over. Even if it is also a political family, the Gore family's background is much shallower than that of the Bush family. What are the effects of the Tello system.

Mainly the Democrats.

First of all, Simon wouldn't be foolish enough to admit it publicly, no matter what.

Even if the Democratic Party obtains some evidence next, as long as Simon does not admit it, in fact, it can be regarded as a step for both parties.

After all, only Gore was injured.

However, to a certain extent, this is also considered stealing the bell. After all, Simon's actions like this will definitely be a serious betrayal for many Democrats in the future. As the matter spread, all kinds of criticisms were inevitable. A rift in trust between them will also have a negative impact on future cooperation.

Also, there is no good solution for this.

Only give time.

Fortunately, in the new century, 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 stop, Simon retracted his thoughts, noticed the concerned eyes of Carmen around him, smiled, and said, "It's impossible to be a good gentleman all the time."

The bodyguard opened the car door, Simon got out of the car, and in front of him was a golf course in the northern suburbs of East Hampton.

A round-faced gray-haired middle-aged man who arrived early saw Simon appear, and quickly greeted him with a smile on his face.

This is Newt Gingrich.

The former Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, who has been in the House of Representatives for 20 years, is a typical veteran politician, and he is also the backbone of the Republican Party who pursued the Clinton sex scandal in the past few years. In addition, most importantly, Gingrich is the next Secretary of State agreed in advance by Simon and the Bush family.

Of course, the premise is that Bush can be elected.

Just like Gore, the Westeros system also has some defaults.

However, after the phone call in the morning, it seemed that Gore didn't even have the will to contact Simon directly. Obviously, even if the other party could reverse the situation miraculously and be elected, the prior agreement would probably be voided.

Coincidentally, Simon asked Newt Gingrich to play golf with him today. It was a relationship. By the way, I would like to talk about the direction of Gingrich's work assuming someone is elected. It is impossible to wait for the dust to settle. Plan again. Unexpectedly, something went wrong on Gore's side.

In the end, it all has to do with the general election in the final sprint.
