Richard Mellon Schiff and Julian Robertson met at about the same time. In Washington, the White House was holding a small reception.
It's also a celebration. It's just a celebration party on the day of winning the election. It's much smaller in scale and higher in specifications.
For example, as long as we pay a little attention to the current political and economic situation of the federal government, we can easily select a few of the most powerful core figures of the westero system in the United States from the more than 30 guests present. Joseph schrap, one of the leaders of the political lobbying team of the Westeros, Celia Miller, Simon westero's personal military affairs assistant, and her husband Philip Miller, and Philip rebord, who should be Simon westero's other wife and brother.
These are just in the open.
As for some cabinet officials or congressmen present, only guests with deeper political connections can tell which ones are the spokesmen supported by the Westeros.
"Yes, Celia, the failure in Somalia came before. This time, the Ministry of defense intends to outsource part of its business. But I have seen the quotation proposal submitted by you. Only the two companies headquartered in Columbus, Ohio and Perth, Western Australia, have I seen the team proposal in Ukraine. As far as I know, the price of the mercenary team in Ukraine is the most affordable?"
Celia Miller, holding a cocktail and facing Hillary's inquiry, explained: "madam, the main reason is that we hope to give more opportunities to the federal and Australian teams. Besides, they are all their own people anyway, aren't they?"
The two discussed that the United States will start to increase its military deployment in Africa again.
As the scars of the Black Hawk fall in 1993 gradually disappear, and the strategic situation in Central Africa has become tense again, of course, due to the lobbying of various interest groups, Clinton intends to re strengthen the military deployment in Africa during his second term of office.
On the other hand, the successful cases of the private army of the Uyghur family are ahead of others. In recent years, the private army has received large orders in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and even Latin America. This kind of right words can dig the corner of the country Oh no, it's an opportunity to contribute to our country, and other interest groups will certainly not miss it.
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the U.S. military in Somalia three years ago, the Ministry of defense has become more and more interested in military outsourcing.
All parties hit it off.
Hillary Clinton doesn't believe Celia's so-called "own people" saying. She even believes that westero is taking the opportunity to strengthen his own private forces in the United States and Australia. After all, a strong army depends on the battlefield. The Ukrainian private soldier who was baptized by the Rwanda war two years ago successfully became Simon West Luo has an important private army.
Unfortunately, Ukraine is too far away from the United States.
Limited by various rules, it is impossible for the Federation and Australia to lay out their plans as wantonly as they did in Eastern Europe. They have been operating quietly for more than two years. According to the information Hillary Clinton saw, the total number of troops that can be sent directly to the battlefield by the two private forces in Ohio and Western Australia in the hands of the westero system has reached 3000, far from being the crude order that can only be obtained through a small number of teams at the beginning.
Now that everyone knows all this, Hillary will not get to the bottom of it. What she said just now is just a hint of "I know your intention.".
Celia Miller would not take the initiative to say anything. After a warm chat, they basically settled some tacit understanding, and Celia took her husband to other places.
As she watched the couple walk away intimately, Hillary couldn't help thinking of the word "best friend". She just laughed and went to her husband. Clinton is talking to his Treasury Secretary, Bob Rubin, and another young man named Philip Leibold.
The topic is about Yale.
The president and his wife, the current treasury secretary, and even the wife and brother of a certain westero all graduated from Yale, and all of them came from Yale Law School.
"The skull club, Philip, you are right to refuse to join. Well, I'm not saying that just because I didn't qualify. After the 1970s, the skeleton society declined rapidly. It's a waste of time for you to go in. In a word, the members of the skeleton society who joined before the 1970s are very elite, just like the eldest son of our former president. "
"It's silly."
"Haha, Bob, I've never heard that before."
"Hey, you know, our governor of Texas was a cheerleader at Yale."
"Well, why do I want to laugh when I hear that? Ha ha, robbing women's business is a shame for men."
"In fact, it's quite enviable."
"Well, yes, ha ha." The president laughed a few more times, and did not neglect a young man. He asked with a smile, "by the way, Philip, what's interesting about the Yale and Harvard football teams as their arch enemies in recent years? We were a carnival every time."
Philip Leibold, who had the self-consciousness of a younger generation and showed no timidity, said with a smile: "the most wonderful thing was that when I was a sophomore, we re composed the Harvard School song, turned to the tune of Yale School Song halfway, and then guided the Harvard students to sing together before the competition."Bob Rubin also came to the interest: "this is much more wonderful than stealing the bulldog mascot, Philip, how to turn, sing and listen."
Philip found a feeling, and soon began to sing. When he turned to the Yale School anthem, the president and his wife and Mr. finance echoed, and the atmosphere became more active.
The singing here attracts envious eyes. However, when we ask about the identity of a young man, we can only envy him.
It's no match.
It's impossible for the president to leave all his time for Philip. After five or six minutes of chatting, he did not forget to ask about the other party's work. After a few words of encouragement, he turned to other guests.
Until the end of the reception, Joseph schrap went to the president again and talked about some business.
The main reason is that the westrow system has been promoting some bills in the fields of telecommunications, network, entertainment and so on.
In this election, the westero system has been low-key to the extreme.
However, Clinton has not been given less resources. In order to avoid attention, the input cost of indirect operation is even higher. In fact, the core of American political election is the exchange of interests, whether it is the exchange between politicians and the public, or the exchange between politicians and capital. In short, I give you support and you give me interests.
Compared with the cautious first term, Clinton, who can't pursue the third term, has less scruples. Moreover, the reason why the Clintons can become the fastest rising political giants around the Millennium lies in the exchange of interests, wantonly liberating the capital of all federal parties, and finally gaining the sustained support of the post Clinton era.
Therefore, they had a good talk.
"About the igritte antitrust investigation, Joseph, you know my difficulty. Now the prosecutors' offices of 23 federal states are involved. I need time. And, at the beginning You should understand why I did this. The investigation initiated by the Department of justice will definitely be much better than the result initiated by Congress. "
"I understand, but Mr. President, you should have said hello to Simon last time."
"I'm sorry, too. Things were too urgent at that time. I heard that the news from Congress could only be launched ahead of time. Moreover, the election situation at that time, as you know, was not suitable for the White House to contact Simon. "
"Well," Joseph schrap acknowledged, and before he finished the conversation, he mentioned another thing: "and, Mr. President, maybe you don't know that Simon and Richard Mellon Skye of the Mellon family had some unhappiness some time ago."
Bill Clinton immediately regained his spirits and his eyes lit up.
Richard Mellon Schiff, one of the most important backers of spending a lot of money in the past few years, and Bill Clinton, can't bite his teeth too hard. However, even the president, in the face of the Mellon family, who has been deeply rooted in the Federation for more than a century, has no way to do anything. He will only teach others what to do.
In the Federation, it is often another capital that can fight against capital.
With no hesitation, Clinton said in a slightly low voice, "if there is anything I can do for you, you can speak at any time."
As a mature veteran politician, Clinton will not easily act out of the rules, but within the rules, if he can suppress the Mellon family, which has made him disheartened in the past few years, he will be merciless.
After all the talk, Joseph schrap left the White House and rushed back to New York early the next morning.
Long island, East Hampton.
It's November 9, Saturday.
Although it was the weekend, Joseph schrap came to Long Island directly after returning to New York to report to his boss on the operation results in Washington in the past few days.
The meeting was held in the practice room of Guofeng Art Troupe near the sea in Eastern Hampton.
A girl beside her boss took her into the biggest room in the training room. As soon as she entered the room, her eyes were filled with warm fragrance. In November, New York may fall the first snow at any time. A stage has been built in this 500 square meter training room. The stage is only 50 cm high, and there is a sofa set under it.
Joseph schrap looked back from the girls on the stage and looked down on the sofa. His boss was sitting in the middle of the stage, lazily hugging each other, with his legs raised on the pedals in front of him.
In addition to the four young girls with thin clothes on both sides of the men on the couch, the single sofa and other vacant seats beside them, there are seven or eight women of all kinds standing or sitting around, and some young man like a king is surrounded in the middle. Joseph thinks that this scene is very similar to the classic scene of some villains in the movie.
Then, they are often lifted by the protagonists in the screams of the women.
All right.
When he saw shrep enter the door, Simon motioned to the dancers on the stage to pause, but he did not get up. When shrep sat on a single sofa which was automatically given up by a girl nearby, he asked the girl beside him to hand over a beautifully bound 32 folio with Chinese landscape paintings on the cover, and said with a smile, "just, Joseph, listen to it with me, and see how their performance is with your eyes."She nodded and listened to what her boss told her in Chinese. When she just came in, the dance started again with a Qingyue girl's English commentary.
When Joseph schrap heard a name, he opened the manual which was obviously enough to make a small collection. He soon found that under the background of light landscape painting, two Chinese characters were printed on the front page of the Catalogue: "you Hu". Schrap was not familiar with Chinese. Through the English annotation and page background, he strolled around the picture of a lovely fox by the river, and quickly understood the general meaning of this Oriental poem .
The story of a fox tells the story of a woman's loneliness after her husband went to war.
On the stage, along with the oriental classical style music, the performance has begun.
The dancers who dress up delicately and gently, like a white fox, come on the stage slowly, such as shuttling through the woods, drinking water by the river. Whether it's music or paintings, they all seem lonely and ethereal. Occasionally meet some companions, looking at other people's cheering, eventually unable to integrate into them, eventually alone.
In addition to the dance and music, there are occasional female voice accompaniment.
*……
*There are foxui, in biqiliang. If you are worried, you will have no clothes.
*There are foxui, but there are other Qi Li. The heart of worry, the son of no belt.
*There are foxui, on the other side of Qi. If you are worried about your heart, you will not be satisfied with your son.
*……
In addition to not understanding Chinese singing, Joseph schrap has to admit that everything is perfect.
At the end of a song on stage, the girls bowed slightly to express their thanks with Chinese classical etiquette, then floated down like water, turned backstage and raised their hands to applaud. Joseph schrap turned to his boss and said, "it's so beautiful, Simon. I read in the manual that it's going to premiere at the Metropolitan Opera House on December 6. Is that true?"
"Of course, the pre campaign has begun," Simon said, still holding a pretty girl in his arms. "I mean, Joseph, do you understand?"
Joseph nodded: "it's easy to understand, plus the notes in the manual. Just once, I wrote down the whole story."
"That's good. In fact, this is the result I want. If a culture wants to spread in another cultural atmosphere, the first thing is to let people understand it. This is very simple and difficult. If everyone can't understand it, it will be embarrassing. "
"How can it be? Even if I can't understand it, the dance just now is also a visual feast." Joseph said, as if embarrassed, and then said, "Simon, since I'm going to perform at the Metropolitan Opera House, can I book some tickets in advance?"
"No problem, here are 10. If there are people who are interested in it, you can give them to them," Simon nodded, finally straightened up and said to the girls around him, "keep practicing. I'll talk to the guests about something and come back soon."
Joseph schrap doesn't really want to leave. It's a pleasure to stay here and talk about things, but his boss has got up and he can only follow.
They went to a lounge next door and waited for the waitress to deliver the coffee. Simon asked girl a to pass a document to shrep and said, "we'll talk about other things later. First, you have a look at this. It just came from Ukraine a few hours ago."
Joseph schrap took the file, opened it, and quickly scanned the content.
This is a murder case that happened in Donetsk state in eastern Ukraine just this morning local time. Yef sherban and his wife from the business community in Donetsk state went out in the morning. As soon as they left their home, they were screened by several Gunners who had been waiting for a long time. They were also killed along with the driver and a bodyguard.
Some photos of the murder scene were also attached to the document.
It's terrible.
The Uighur lobbying team also has an office in Ukraine. Its boss attaches so much importance to that country that it is superior to others. Joseph schrap also has a detailed understanding of various forces in Ukraine.
When he saw the name of yef sherban, he knew that he was the leader of the East uddonetsk gang.
And we can roughly guess what happened.
After all, in order to fight for the industrial assets left over from the former Soviet Union in eastern Ukraine, the prime minister Pavlo razarenko and the Donetsk gang of eastern Ukraine have become more and more acute in the past year with razarenko taking office. It is no accident that yef sherban was assassinated this time.
Just a few months ago, razarenko was assassinated by an open car bomb, but the assassination failed. All kinds of signs also show that the assailant was yef sherban. Therefore, this is obviously a tit for tat of Lazarenko.
