The two discussed some details, ended the conversation, left each other's contact information, and were about to walk out of the study together, Skeve remembered another thing, and said to Robertson: "Julian, I know you and Soros are good friends, And Soros is close to Simon Westeros?"
Julian Robertson waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, this is business, I won't say anything I shouldn't say, and George's mind is not in the Federation during this time."
Chapter 1057 Murder
Around the time Richard Mellon Scaife met with Julian Robertson, Washington, the White House was also hosting a small reception.
It's also a celebration, but with a much smaller scale and higher standard than the celebration party on the day of the election.
For example, as long as you pay attention to the current political and economic situation of the Federation, you can easily select a few core figures of the most powerful Westeros system in the United States from among the more than 30 guests present.Joseph Schlapp, one of the leaders of the political lobbying team of the Westeros family, Celia Miller, Simon Westeros' personal military affairs assistant, and her husband Philip Miller, and the identity should be regarded as Simon Philip Raybould, another brother-in-law of Westeros.
These are only on the surface.
As for which of the cabinet officials or members of Congress present are the spokespersons supported by the Westeros family, only guests with deeper political connections can distinguish them.
"Yes, Celia, the failure in Somalia came first, and this time the Ministry of Defense intends to outsource some of its operations, but I have seen the quotations submitted by you, and only those based in Columbus, Ohio and Perth, Western Australia Those two, I haven’t seen the team plan from Ukraine, as far as I know, the price of the mercenary team from Ukraine is the most affordable?”
Celia Miller held a glass of cocktail, faced Hillary's inquiry, and explained: "Ma'am, the main reason is that we want to give more opportunities to the federal and Australian teams, not to mention, they are all our own no matter what, Isn't it?"
The two were discussing that the United States would resume increasing its military presence in Africa.
With the scars of the Black Hawk falling in 93 gradually disappearing, and the current strategic situation in Central Africa once again becoming tense, and of course due to the lobbying of various interest groups, Clinton intends to re-strengthen his military deployment in Africa during his second term. .
On the other hand, the success stories of the Weijia private army are in the front. Seeing that this private army has received large orders in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and even Latin America in recent years, this kind of digging the corner of the country is justifiable... oh no , is an opportunity to contribute to the country, and of course other interest groups will not let it go.
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the US military in Somalia three years ago, the Ministry of Defense is also increasingly favoring military outsourcing.
All parties hit it off.
Hillary didn't believe Celia's so-called "one of my own people". She believed that this was Westeros taking the opportunity to strengthen its own private army in the United States and Australia. After all, a strong army depends on the battlefield. Yes, the Ukrainian private soldier two years ago, after the baptism of the Rwanda War, successfully formed an army and directly became an important private army force in the hands of Simon Westeros.
It's a pity that Ukraine is too far away from the United States after all.
Both sides of the Federation and Australia are limited by various rules, and it is impossible to deploy as wantonly as in Eastern Europe. It has been quietly operated for more than two years before it can be considered to be formed.According to the information Hillary has seen, the total strength of the two private armies in Ohio and Western Australia currently in the hands of the Westeros system has reached 3000, which is far from the initial number that can only be sent by a small number of teams. Take some rough sketches of military training orders.
Since everyone knows these things well, Hillary will not get to the bottom of it. What she said just now is just a hint of "I know your intentions".
Celia Miller would not take the initiative to confess anything, the two sides chatted enthusiastically for a while, and basically reached some tacit agreement, and Celia walked away with her husband on her arm.
Seeing the couple walking away intimately, Hilary couldn't help but think of a word, 'bestie', just smiled and walked towards her husband.Clinton was chatting with his treasury secretary, Bob Rubin, and another young man named Philip Raybould.
The topic was about Yale.
Whether it is the president and his wife, the current finance minister, or even a Westeros brother-in-law, they all graduated from Yale, and all of them came from Yale Law School.
"Skull and Bones, Philip, you are right in refusing to join. Well, I didn't say that because I was not eligible to join. After the 70s, Skull and Bones declined rapidly, and it was a waste of time for you to enter. Speaking of which, Skeleton Members who would join before the 70s can be described as elite, like the eldest son of our former president."
"Although it's a bit silly."
"Haha, Bob, I've never heard that."
"Hey, you know, our governor of Texas was a cheerleader for Yale."
"Okay, why did I want to laugh again when I heard it, haha, it's a shame for a man to steal a woman's business."
"It's actually quite enviable."
"Well, that's right, haha." Mr. President laughed a few more times, and he didn't neglect a certain young man, and asked with a smile: "By the way, Philip, what's interesting about the Yale and Harvard football teams that are sworn enemies these years?" , back then, every time it was a carnival."
Philip Leibould has the self-consciousness of a junior without showing any timidity, and said with a smile: "The most exciting thing should be my sophomore year. We re-composed the Harvard school song, halfway turned to the tune of the Yale school song, and then Guided Harvard students to sing together before the game."
Bob Rubin was also interested: "This is much more exciting than stealing the bulldog mascot back then, Philip, how did it turn, sing and listen."
Philip found his feeling, and soon began to sing a cappella, turning to the part of the Yale school song, and the president, his wife and Mr. Finance all echoed together, and the atmosphere became more active.
The singing here attracted envious eyes, but everyone could only envy when they found out the identity of a certain young man.
Can't compare.
It is also impossible for Mr. President to leave all the time for Philip. He just chatted for five or six minutes, not forgetting to ask about the other party's work and a few words of encouragement before turning to other guests.
Until the end of the reception, Joseph Schlapp approached Mr. President again and talked about some serious matters.
Mainly, the Westeros system has been promoting some bills on telecommunications, the Internet, entertainment and other fields.
In this general election, the Westeros system can be described as low-key to the extreme.
However, the resources that should be given to Clinton are not missing at all here. In order to avoid attracting attention, the input cost of indirect operations is even higher.The core of American political elections is actually the exchange of interests, whether it is the exchange between politicians and the public, or the exchange between politicians and capital, in short, I support you and you give me benefits.
Successful re-election, compared with the cautious first term, Clinton has much less scruples about pursuing a third term. Moreover, the key to the Clintons becoming the fastest-rising political giants around the millennium lies in The exchange of interests, wantonly loosened the capital of all parties in the federal government, and finally won the continuous support of the post-Clinton era.
Therefore, the two can be said to have a very happy conversation.
"About Ygritte's anti-monopoly investigation, Joseph, you know my difficulties. Now that the prosecutor's offices of 23 federal states are involved, I need time. And, at the beginning...you should understand why I did this , the Ministry of Justice launched an investigation, and the result will definitely be much better than that initiated by Congress.”
"I understand, but Mr. President, you should have said hello to Simon last time."
"I'm also sorry. The matter was too urgent at the time. I heard the wind from the Congress and could only launch it in advance. Moreover, you also know that the White House was not suitable for contacting Simon at the time of the election situation."
"Well," Joseph Schlapp agreed, and before ending the conversation, he mentioned another thing: "Also, Mr. President, maybe you don't know that some time ago, the rationale of the Simon and Mellon families Chad Mellon Scaife had some bad times."
Bill Clinton immediately regained his spirits and his eyes lit up.
In the past few years, Richard Mellon Scaife, one of the important behind-the-scenes driving forces who have spent a lot of money to dig out his own black material, Bill Clinton said that it is not too much to gnash his teeth.However, even the president, facing the Mellon family that has been deeply rooted in the Federation for more than a century, he has nothing to do. If he really does something, he will only give others a handle.
In the federation, it is often another capital that can fight against capital.
Thoughts were spinning, Clinton did not hesitate, and said in a slightly lowered voice: "If you need my help with this matter, you can speak up at any time."
As a mature veteran politician, Clinton will not easily act outside the rules, but within the rules, if he can suppress the Mellon family, which has made him disgraced in the past few years, he will show no mercy.
After talking about all the things that should be discussed, Joseph Schlapp bid farewell to the president and his wife, left the White House, and hurried back to New York early the next morning.
Long Island, East Hampton.
It's Saturday, September 11th.
Although it was the weekend, Joseph Schlapp rushed to Long Island directly after returning to New York to report to his boss the results of his operations in Washington in the past few days.
The meeting place is in the practice room of the Guofeng Art Troupe on the coast of East Hampton.
She was led into the largest room in the practice room by the girl A beside the boss. Just after entering the door, the singing and dancing that catches the eye, accompanied by a burst of warm fragrance, rushed to her face. In New York in November, the first snow may fall at any time. A stage was built in this 11-square-meter practice room, and a set of sofas was placed under the 500-centimeter-high stage.
Joseph Schlapp looked away from the girls on the stage, and looked at the sofa below the stage. His boss was sitting in the middle, with a lazy posture, hugging left and right, with his legs raised on the pedals in front of him.
In addition to the four young girls in light clothes on both sides of the man on the couch, there are seven or eight women of various types standing or sitting on the single sofa and other vacant seats, surrounded by a young man like a king, Joseph Think about it, this scene is very similar to the classic scene when some big villains appear in the movie.
Then the protagonist is often kicked out of the lair by the screams of the women.
