Chapter 1397

"According to the news from Russia, Yeltsin's attempt to reinstate Chernomyrdin has been rejected twice by the Russian State Duma. Now the two sides are in a very dangerous stalemate. Yeltsin threatened to dissolve the parliament, and the Russian parliament also threatened to impeach Yeltsin. Simon, which side do you think will compromise this time?"

The Leibold apartment on the upper west side.

Dinner time.

It was the girlfriend brought home by Philip Leibold, named Nora register, who came from a political family in Washington, so the topic inevitably turned to politics.

However, this issue is somewhat untimely.

With the intervention of Westeros system at the critical moment some time ago, many people know that Simon must have a layout in Russia. Moreover, since he took the initiative, the potential strength of Westeros system in Russia must not be underestimated.

In this case, Simon is capable of influencing the political situation in Russia.

Therefore, even if it seems that there is no outsider at the family banquet, Simon is inconvenient to make a statement about this problem. After all, if it is spread, many people will think more, and may even be regarded as Simon putting pressure on one party.

It's not easy to say, but he didn't pretend not to hear it. Simon just smiled: "I'm not sure, but there will be results soon."

In the restaurant.

Simon reacted in this way, and noticed that James Leibold frowned slightly. Nora register, who had just left school for a year, finally realized that her problem was inappropriate, smiled and couldn't help glancing at her boyfriend.

Philip obviously liked his two-year-old girlfriend and took the initiative: "I think Yeltsin should give in this time, because according to the Russian constitution, once the parliament initiates impeachment, the president will lose the power to dissolve the parliament until the impeachment case is completed. However, this is also the most extreme approach, because once the impeachment is initiated, the two sides will completely lose room for change, either the president will step down or the parliament will be dissolved."

Simon still smiled and echoed, "it seems so."

This is obviously Philip's private view with his girlfriend. In order to resolve the embarrassment just now, he said it in public.

You're right.

In history, it was Yeltsin who made a compromise, gave up his old partner Chernomyrdin and chose former foreign minister primakov acceptable to both the Kremlin and Duma.

It just didn't turn out very well.

After primakov came to power and stabilized Russia's domestic economic situation, he immediately pointed the spearhead at the Yeltsin family and publicly stated that he would compete for the presidential election in 2000.

Then he was withdrawn by Yeltsin again.

In fact, Chernomyrdin, who had been Yeltsin's partner for many years, was also the reason why the other party showed too much covet for the presidency. It was not the general election in 2000, but began to erode Yeltsin's power in advance.

It's always for the position of the Ke palace.

Nora regist, who was smart enough to notice that she stepped on a little ray, saw her boyfriend resolve the little embarrassment for herself. Although she wanted to have a few more words with Simon westero across the table, she chose to shut up rationally.

The topic then turned to entertainment.

This insurance.

The atmosphere soon revived.

After dinner, the women were teasing the children here to talk about family affairs. The Leibold father and son and Simon turned to the upstairs study to talk about some business.

Mainly the recent situation in Washington.

With only two months left before the mid-term election, the Republican Party launched a stronger attack on Clinton with the help of the zipper door scandal. To this end, it also invested tens of millions of dollars in advertising to crack down on the public image of the Democratic Party behind Clinton.

For many people, the Democratic Party is indeed in jeopardy.

However, the Westeros system, which has more public opinion and poll data, does not think so.

The public is rebellious.

This time, the Republican Party has gone too far, ignoring a series of achievements since Clinton came to power, and only clinging to some sections that are not unforgivable in the eyes of the people. It is almost unreasonable.

After all, the president just slept as an intern.

What's up?

Kennedy had a better time. In addition to Monroe, as we all know, there were also many white house interns among many lovers. As a result, he was still widely loved by the people?

Just do what you should do well.

The reality is that if we don't think about the long term, Clinton has done really well in the nearly six years since he took office. The first fiscal year surplus in nearly 30 years that has begun to build momentum is enough to prove this.

Besides the upcoming mid-term elections, the key to the operation of Westeros system is also based on this.

Take advantage of the situation to help the Democratic Party fight a beautiful counterattack.

At least, when the results were released at the end of the year, the Westeros system would instill this view into those who should know through some private public opinion operation. The Westeros system helped the Democratic Party fight a turnaround in the bicameral elections under extremely unfavorable conditions.

However, only some seats were regained.

In the overall situation, the majority pattern of the Republican Party dominating the two houses will not change, which can avoid the Republican Party's rebound.

The final result is to further strengthen the influence of Westeros system in American politics.

In addition to domestic affairs, the topic will inevitably turn to Russia.

James basically agrees with Simon's strategy of "raising bandits and respecting themselves", but he has a little doubt: "Simon, I recently learned a lot about Russia and flew to Moscow. Frankly, even if we want to support Russia and let it continue to contain Europe and even the Federation itself, the problem is that according to the current development trend, I really can't see the way out of this country except collapse?"

Simon didn't know whether it was a fan or not. He said, "it's very simple, Jim. Think about the first half of this century. When the problems accumulated to the point where they couldn't be handled, what was the result?"

Simon said so. Both father and son reacted on the sofa next to him and almost said in one voice: "war?!"

"Yes, war," Simon said, "but we don't have to worry. Russia is not Germany that suddenly provoked World War II after accumulating enough strength. Therefore, it can only launch a local war to unite the hearts of the people at home and transfer contradictions."

Philip said, "Simon, is that Chechnya?"

"Yes," Simon looked at his brother-in-law with appreciation and said, "in order to ensure that Russia can win, we also need to carry out some operations in Washington, withdraw from the federal arrangement in Chechnya and reduce the resistance of Russia to capture Chechnya."

"Actually, I think..." Philip hesitated a little and said, "in any case, we should not help Russia. Or, what if one day it is too strong?"

Simon saw James also show some recognition, smiled and shook his head and said, "it's impossible. After 1991, the chance of Russia's rise again is very slim."

"Why?"

"Because we successfully dragged the former Soviet Union into our own rules of the game, and in this rule system, 30-year-old adults against 3-year-old children, children are doomed to lose."

Philip asked, "what if the child grows up to 18?"

"If you were a 30-year-old adult, would you let a 3-year-old succeed in catching up with yourself and threaten your status?"

"Of course not," Philip said. "I'll try to suppress his growth, not help him."

"We don't sincerely help Russia. We just want to prevent him from dying too early and affecting our layout. In the final analysis, it is for our own interests. Philip, you know, I'm talking about the interests of the Westeros system, not the interests of the Federation. We need to clarify our position."

Philip didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he had to nod.

Then he turned to other topics.

The three came out of the study. It was more than ten o'clock at night.

The women were also chatting in the living room on the same floor.

When the three entered the door, they happened to hear Jennifer talking about her baby daughter: "I think Searle is getting more and more magical now. She is really like a fairy with magical ability. Last month, Searle suddenly told me that a small pimple grew on her chin. I checked and found nothing. Then the next day, a red pimple appeared on Searle's chin."

The other two women showed surprised expressions and looked at the sleeping girl curled up in her mother's arms. Carol didn't ignore the key to the problem. First, she asked, "why do you get pimples?"

"It's just a common small inflammation. The doctor checked it and said that it can be cured without treatment," Jennifer explained, nodded to the three people entering the door and continued: "in short, I thought it was amazing."

The three men sat down on the sofa in the living room. It was not just James and his son who heard it for the first time. Even Simon, who already knew it, felt magical when he heard Jennifer talk about it.

At first, when his baby daughter showed her uniqueness very early, Simon even doubted whether the girl was the same as himself.

But now, Simon thinks, baby daughter must be different from himself.

The little guy who is only five years old in November can detect and predict some subtle changes in his body, which is a real fairy.

Anyway, the family was amazed that xiaonizi couldn't measure her high IQ directly. The problem now is to look at herself. According to Simon's memory in his previous life, this is already the category of truth cultivation.

Of course, xiaonizi didn't show any potential to fly against the sword, and there was no sign of the entry-level skill of taking things from space. However, for a little guy less than five years old, this perception of his body can only be described by magic.

If ordinary people have the ability to perceive subtle changes in the body, Simon thinks it's easy to directly increase the average human life to 100 years old.

In other words, if things get out, it will probably become more and more natural to have such a magical daughter, what Simon westero has achieved.

We talked about some interesting things about Seattle. It was too late, so we went to rest.

The next day is September 15.

Tuesday.

After breakfast, two children were left to be taken care of by Carol, who deliberately pushed out of work. Simon and Jennifer rushed to the westero building on the other side of Central Park.

After nearly two years of capping, the overall decoration of the building has been basically completed.

They walked from the vault on the fourth floor of the basement, from bottom to top, spent the whole morning browsing the building, and finally had lunch in the luxury house on the top floor.

Like in the cloud.

Even the female assistant, who is used to the current state of housewife and has a very weak mind, began to look forward to moving into Westeros building.

Of course, it's impossible to live here for a long time.

However, it must be a wonderful experience to live here for two or three months a year.

Besides the building itself, another thing has been finalized.

With regard to the helipad near the top of the building, after repeated consultations with the New York City Government and nearby owners, it was finally approved that the Westeros family helicopter can fly to the Westeros building according to the safest fixed route, roughly from the East River along the straight line above 59th Street.

It's a real privilege.

Because according to the regulations, helicopters can take off, but not under special circumstances, they can not enter downtown Manhattan and can only fly over the rivers on both sides.

To this end, the Westeros also have to pay a fee of $1 million a year. Nominally, it is used for the security inspection of the Westeros helicopter over 59th Street. In fact, the Westeros do not need or allow outsiders to intervene in this kind of security inspection, and their own family will do it to the extreme.

Therefore, the basic is to buy road money.

In the morning, I saw westero building together. The female assistant also put forward some modification suggestions according to her preferences. In the afternoon, it was a world of two and went shopping quietly together.

The reason why it's quiet is that outsiders can't see it.

I can't see it on the street. If I want to go to some shops, I always ask for clearance in advance.

So in the evening, I said goodbye to my female assistant and continued to transfer to Irene Lauder.

Although not nervous, but also full of schedule, Simon had no time to attend to him. He was not informed of a heavy news until he left Lauder's house on Thursday morning.

Australia.

The acquisition of another Australian mining giant Bihe by BHP Billiton, a subsidiary of Johnston holdings, has been promoted for several months, and an agreement has been officially reached. The transaction price is a $27.5 billion, while the total scale of the transaction is close to a $60 billion, equivalent to about US $43 billion.

As the two sides reach an agreement, the next step is the audit.

It's more troublesome this time.

Because of the large scale of M & A, in addition to the Australian government, the transaction must also be approved by other WTO members.

Fortunately, this is not a big problem.

At present, the steel industry is in another downturn cycle caused by the Asian financial crisis last year. Johnston Holdings has good reasons to resist market risks through mergers and acquisitions and strengthen resource integration. In addition, with the assistance of Westeros system, first of all, the five eye alliance does not constitute an obstacle. After passing the five eye alliance, others, Even France, which has been struggling with the Westeros system, has no reason to deliberately block the acquisition.

In short, when the agreement is reached, another major pattern adjustment of global mining industry is basically settled.
