Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 612 The Sword of Damocles

Ears grinded for a moment, and Janet whispered again: "Simon, if the live broadcast of your small vases is turned off in advance, it has become more lively recently."

The recent media and political calls on Simon’s personal life luxury attacks and the suppression of Simon’s wealth, the most cited is the Victorian maid he trained as a princess around the world, and the London girl team, which is still on live webcast, is undoubtedly the most Intuitive evidence.

Simon shook his head: "It's okay, otherwise it will make me feel guilty. Since they think my life is like a king, I plan to make everyone gradually get used to this."

Janet has recently been mainly integrating the public relations team of the Westeros system, and he has made a unified response to all kinds of questioning attacks in the media and political circles. Closing the live broadcast in advance is also a recommendation made by many backbones of the public relations team to Janet.Seeing Simon's refusal, Janet didn't persevere and looked at his man brightly: "What shall we do next?"

Simon asked what was wrong: "I was watching a script recently called "Broken Arrow."

Janet blinked, waiting for Simon to continue.

Simon gently pulled the woman from the sofa, and the two walked to a wall in the study. Here is a map of the world that has just been hung in recent days.

"'Broken Arrow' is a special military code for the US military, which means the accidental loss of nuclear weapons," Simon explained to the map. He took a pen from the storage rack next to it and drew it on a country in Eastern Europe. A circle, and then said: "You know, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, a lot of things happen in this world, most of the time the reason is actually very simple, just like the assassination last week. Similarly, I am against this The world has never relaxed. We now have 200 billion US dollars, which is already the wealth of many small countries. If I really die suddenly, just over half of the estate tax will be a gluttonous feast for many people."

After Janet listened to Simon's introduction of the meaning of'broken arrow', she probably realized something. After the man circled the country named'Ukraine' in Eastern Europe and the subsequent explanation, the woman fully understood Simon's intention.

The disintegration of the Soviet Union has led to the entire Eastern Europe becoming a paradise for ambitions, speculators and arms dealers in recent years.

The last one, because the collapse of the Soviet Union led to the general collapse of the Eastern European economy, the countries of Eastern Europe can no longer support the original army size, and the huge military equipment left over from the former Soviet era enough to compete with the United States is even up to the generals to the soldiers. Carry out general reselling.

Now in the former Soviet Union, if you want guns and ammunition, that's not a business. You can change a good big fire rifle for a few pieces of bread.Armored vehicles, tanks, submarines, destroyers and even giant aircraft carriers, as long as you pay for it and dare to receive it, you can drive back to your home.

Among the many arms deals, the most sensitive one is undoubtedly nuclear weapons.

In Simon’s memory, in the early years of the Soviet Union’s disintegration, Ukraine, a member of the Soviet Union, deployed more than 2,800 nuclear weapons.Under the ignorance of Europe and the United States, Ukraine actively chose to abandon its nuclear weapons, and successively handed over all nuclear weapons in Russia to Russia for storage or destruction within five years from 1992 to 1996.

However, in this process, more than 250 nuclear warheads were missing!

The news was finally disclosed after a few years of delay, shocking the world.

After investigation, most of these nuclear warheads were secretly purchased by countries around the world, including terrorist organizations in the Middle East.Therefore, the plot of action heroes in Hollywood movies to prevent terrorists from detonating nuclear bombs time and time again is definitely not completely fictional, just to avoid panic. Similar incidents are often sealed by government authorities.

After Simon explained, he felt Janet gently holding his arm, looked at her, and asked a woman just the same question: "Are you afraid?"

There was some blush on Janet's fair face, not fear, but excitement: "Not afraid."

The woman understands,

If the assassination incident of last week happened again, if it was really successful, if it was found that some people had conspired for the wealth of the Westeros family, then the one who bound the sword of Damocles The slender horsehair will break.

Janet realized a little more.

If the last thing she wants to see happens, she will most likely be the'executor' who cuts the dangling mane.

Thinking of this, Janet did not feel any guilt in her heart. When she was a little girl, she felt that the world was too boring. She even thought about destroying the world.

Now, maybe this is his own destiny.

Fate!

He wants to rule the world and be a king. If someone covets everything he has and even hurts him, then she will help him destroy the world.

Simon just continued, pointing to Ukraine that had just been circled by himself: "There are 2,800 nuclear warheads here, most of them have been handed over to Russia, but at least half of them are still in this country. We have two years to operate this matter. "

Janet also raised her hand to the island of Tasmania in southern Australia where he continued to buy land from Simon: "Then hide it here?"

"Of course not, this is also our home at the end of the world, and once it is found, it may be very troublesome," Simon said, sliding his fingers all the way from Eastern Europe to the vast Africa: "Here, this is a habit of being A continent that people have forgotten, and compared to other continents in the world, for a long time to come, Africa will only continue to be in a long period of war. My plan is to operate a country here."

In the 1990s, with the disintegration of the world, many people always believed that the world had gradually moved toward peace.

This is actually not the case.

Because in the habitually forgotten continent, there is chaos in Somalia, there are nearly one million civilians who died in the Rwandan massacre, the Congolese civil war that lasted more than three million deaths for ten years, and the long-term economic collapse Zimbabwe, where the people do not live, and the split between North and South Sudan, the civil war in Angola that lasted 27 years, and so on.

This all happened after the so-called'civilized world', which believed that the world had moved towards peace.

Since the countries of the world can prop up or overthrow regimes in Africa for their own benefit or even pure influence, the Westeros system can certainly.

Janet was obviously intrigued. She loosened Simon’s arm and moved closer to the world map. She made a stroke around Africa. Women used to not care too much about Africa. They only knew that the family owned many mining assets in some countries in Africa. Will go hunting in Africa with some friends.

However, it doesn't require much information. Janet gestured for a moment and pointed to the Central African region: "This is the most suitable place, right?"

Simon nodded.

North Africa has oil interests and borders with Europe, and the Westeros system cannot take root there.Southern Africa, especially South Africa, is now staring at many people, which is also inappropriate.

Therefore, Congo, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania are suitable for the Central African region. Even if various resources and mineral deposits are still abundant, it is hindered by the high emperor's distance, and the overall cost is not worth the gains. Especially in landlocked countries, there are no major powers in the world Too many economic benefits.

The reason why the Rwanda massacre has been ignored by the entire international community lies here.

Janet selected the location, but then just looked at Simon.

Simon stepped forward to hug the woman’s waist, and the other hand nodded in Eastern Europe and Latin America, saying: "After the collapse of the Soviet Union, in addition to a large number of top weapons and equipment, millions of elite soldiers were forced to retire. By the way, civil wars in countries such as Colombia have fought for decades, and there are also many elite soldiers. We can recruit mercenaries from these two places. After confirming the African base, the local can also recruit a team. For a region like Africa, As long as there are tens of thousands of elite troops equipped with top-level equipment, even if they cannot establish a regime, they can seize one side and become a big warlord that affects the political direction of a certain country."

Janet received: "Then we can put our'Sword of Damocles' here."

Simon nodded: "Yeah."

Janet thought for a while and said, "According to the calculation of 10,000 people, how much do we need to spend each year?"

"The question of money is not important at all," Simon pointed to an obscure corner of the world map: "Israel's defense budget last year was only $5.3 billion, but it could fight the entire Middle East. This money, even West The Luo system can now be obtained."

Janet had no objection to this.

If it is really necessary, the Westeros system can now indeed spend $5 billion a year.

It was immediately understood that the problem of money is indeed the least problem for the Westeros system.The most crucial point is how to make such a violent machine far away in Africa continue to be used loyally by the Westeros family, and even consider whether this matter will cause local and even international pressure and rebound.

Simon has actually considered this.

At the same time, I chose to recruit soldiers in Eastern Europe, Latin America and Africa at the same time. The purpose was to differentiate and check and balance, so as to prevent an ambitious person from getting rid of the control of the Westeros system and becoming the king after the power became powerful. There are actually many things like Africa, including Europe and the United States. The spokespersons cultivated in various countries are often less obedient after their wings are full.

Moreover, this consideration is still the initial level of planning.

The situation now is that the idea is there, but Simon can't find someone who can trust him to do this.

After all, the foundation of the Westeros family is too shallow.

Janet quickly thought of this as well, once again holding the man’s arm, his head fell on Simon’s shoulder and said, “I recently went back to Melbourne. Speaking of it, in order to protect overseas mines and shipping vessels, There are mercenaries, otherwise Dad wouldn’t dare to go hunting in Africa often. But I haven’t paid attention to it before, and the number is not much."

Simon nodded, as he had thought.

If you want to complete your chance within a relatively short period of time, you can only rely on the Johnston family.

Before intersecting with himself, although the wealth of the Johnston family has never been conspicuous, it is ultimately a billionaire super rich. More importantly, it is a hundred-year-old family. The accumulation of network resources in all aspects is far more than ordinary people. Imagine.

Simon had previously built an intelligence team for the Westeros family, which was the talent that Raymond Johnston personally helped to find.

This time, it can only be so.

Simon was not surprised that Janet said that the Johnston family had a mercenary team.

This world is far less peaceful than ordinary people imagine.

The overseas mines of the Johnston family, especially mines in Africa, must have their own armed forces if they want to maintain normal operation and not be attacked by rebel mobsters.The same is true for shipping. Many important maritime channels in the world still have a large number of pirates at this stage. Without self-defense forces, a ship may say that it will disappear.

"Since you go back, take Jenny and your three children together," just now Janet was reluctant to leave. At this time Simon mentioned it again. The woman promised to come down this time. Simon continued: "There is one more thing, after you arrive in Melbourne Take time to find out where to build a vault."

Janet wondered: "Treasury, what is it for?"

Simon said: "I plan to buy gold, buy a lot of gold."

The recent movements of the North American media and politicians have caused Simon to be very vigilant. The West may have a general concept of the sacred and inviolable private property, but if you truly believe this, you are a fool.'Looting' is completely an instinct rooted in the deepest genes of all living things. The United States can plunder other people's resources and interests on a global scale. When necessary, it has never been said that it does not deliberately plunder its own people.

In this case, Simon needs to give himself some protection in advance, including protection after some of the most undesirable situations occur.

For this world, the strongest guarantee is not only a sufficiently powerful violent machine, but also wealth.

Therefore, in addition to creating a defensive'Sword of Damocles' for the Westeros family, Simon also intends to continue to store a huge amount of wealth in a place he thinks is safer.

There are many kinds of wealth.

In Simon's view, the paper currency issued by countries around the world is undoubtedly the most unreliable wealth. Stocks, land, real estate, etc. lack flexibility, and even in some cases, they can easily be banned by government authorities.

Relatively speaking, gold is undoubtedly the most versatile and reliable asset of human society.

No matter how various countries that have broken away from the gold standard depreciate the value of gold, gold is absolutely worthy of its status as the "king of money".In almost all countries in the world, as long as there are signs of economic crisis or social unrest, some people with a keen sense of smell will always think of buying gold as soon as possible.When the international situation is tense, the first thing some countries think of is to return their gold stored overseas as soon as possible.

From ancient times to the present, and even for many years in the memory of Simon, gold has been the most common safe-haven currency.

Therefore, Simon intends to continue to convert the additional funds of the Westero system into the physical gold storage from now on.

Janet heard Simon’s plan to purchase a large amount of gold, but just blinked a few times, then nodded straight, and then suggested: "It can be built in Tasmania, it is our private territory, um, actually The original underground refuge was very suitable."

Simon Road: "Melbourne will do. The storage location is too remote and unsafe. We can't always have a security team there. If no one is guarding, no sturdy fort can stop the caring people."

"In this case, we are planning to build a professional vault on the fourth floor of the Westero Building in Manhattan. It is no problem to store a few hundred tons of gold," Janet said, and reacted before Simon objected. And shook his head: "Well, it can't be placed in the United States."

Simon smiled, just about to continue to say, the door of the study room was knocked.

"Wait."

Simon raised his voice and said something. He looked at the world map of'Ukraine' marked by a black fountain pen in front of him. He reached out and took off the map directly. After a while, he told the outsider to come in.Some planning just now, the clues that can be caught by people are not suitable for staying, and can only communicate through words between the most trusted people.

It was girl A who pushed the door.

After Alison entered the door, he subconsciously looked at the Simon and his wife standing by the study wall. Both of them were in good condition. There was no sign of it. Realizing that they had just turned off, Alison slightly confessed and narrowed his eyes, softly. Road: "The boss, ma'am, Ms. Veronica asked me to come and ask what you plan to eat for dinner?"

Simon didn't care about it, patted Janet's waist and indicated that she could go to arrange dinner, and walked to the grinder in the study, watching the world map just turned into a piece in the special grinder that was smaller than the grain of rice. The debris, just left the study.
