Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 612: Sword of Damocles

After a while, Janet whispered softly: "Simon, or the live broadcast of your little vases has been turned off in advance, it has become more lively recently."

The recent media and political attacks on Simon’s extravagance in his personal life and his appeals to suppress Simon’s wealth are cited most often by the Victoria’s waitresses he trained as princesses all over the world, and the London girl team that continues to live online is undoubtedly the most. Intuitive evidence.

Simon shook his head: "It doesn't matter, or it will make me feel guilty. Since they think my life is like a king, I intend to let everyone get used to it."

Recently, Janet was mainly integrating the public relations team of the Westeros system, and unified countermeasures to various suspicions and attacks from the media and political circles. The early closing of the live broadcast was also a suggestion that many backbones of the public relations team made to Janet. Seeing Simon's refusal, Janet did not insist at all, looking at her man with bright eyes: "Then what shall we do next?"

Simon answered the wrong question: "I'm currently reading a script called "Broken Arrow"."

Janet blinked and waited for Simon to continue.

Simon gently pulled the woman up from the sofa, and the two walked to a wall in the study, where there was a map of the world that had just been hung up in the last few days.

"'Broken Arrow' is a special military code name for the US military, which means the accidental loss of nuclear weapons," Simon nearly explained when he came to the map. He took a pen from a storage shelf next to it and painted it on a country in Eastern Europe. After a circle, I continued: "You know, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Many things happen in this world. Most of the time, the reason is actually very simple. Just like the assassination last week. Similarly, I am The world has never let its guard down. We now have 200 billion U.S. dollars, which is already the wealth of many small countries. If I really die suddenly, it will only be more than half of the inheritance tax, which will be a gluttonous feast for many people."

After listening to Simon's introduction of the meaning of ‘broken arrow’, Janet probably realized something. When the man circled the country called ‘Ukraine’ in Eastern Europe and the subsequent explanation, the woman completely understood Simon’s intentions.

The disintegration of the Soviet Union has caused the entire Eastern Europe to become a paradise for careerists, speculators, and arms dealers in recent years.

The last one is that because the disintegration of the Soviet Union led to the general economic collapse of Eastern Europe, various countries in Eastern Europe could no longer support the original military size. The huge amount of military equipment left over from the former Soviet era that was sufficient to compete with the United States was even more advanced from generals to soldiers. Carry out general reselling.

In the former Soviet Union nowadays, if you want guns and ammunition, that is not a business. A few pieces of bread can be exchanged for a good high-fire rifle. Armored vehicles, tanks, submarines, destroyers and even giant aircraft carriers, as long as you pay for them and dare to accept them, you can drive them back to your own home.

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

In Simon's memory, in the early days of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Ukraine, a member of the Soviet Union, deployed more than 2,800 nuclear weapons. Ukraine voluntarily chose to abandon its nuclear weapons under the flicker of European and American countries, and gradually transferred all nuclear weapons in its territory to Russia for storage or destruction during the five years from 1992 to 1996.

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

The news was finally revealed after several 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 action heroes in Hollywood movies repeatedly prevent terrorists from detonating nuclear bombs. In fact, it is definitely not a complete fiction. It is just to avoid panic. Similar incidents are often strictly sealed by government authorities.

After Simon explained, he felt Janet gently take her arm, took a look at her, and asked a woman the same question just now: "Are you afraid?"

There was a slight blush on Janet's white face, not fear, but excitement: "Not afraid."

The woman understands that her man intends to cast a ‘sword of Damocles’ hanging over many people who covet the wealth of the Westeros family.

If the kind of assassination that happened last week happens again, if it really succeeds, if it is discovered that someone premeditated for the wealth of the Westeros family, then the one who tied the'Sword of Damocles' The slender horsehair will break.

Janet was more aware.

If the least wanting thing happens, she will probably be the ‘executor’ who cut the hanging mane.

Thinking of this, Janet didn't feel any guilt in her heart. When she was a little girl, she thought this world was too boring, and she even thought about destroying the world.

Now, maybe this is my fate.

Fate!

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

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

Janet also raised her hand to Tasmania in southern Australia where Simon continued to buy land: "Then hide here?"

"Of course not, this is also our home at the end of the world, and it may be very troublesome if found," Simon said, sliding his finger from Eastern Europe all the way down to the vast Africa: "Here, this is a habit A forgotten continent, and compared to other continents in the world, Africa will only continue to be in the stage of prolonged war for a long time to come. 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 towards peace.

In fact, it is definitely not the case.

Because on the habitually forgotten continent, there is also chaotic Somalia, the Rwanda massacre in which nearly a million civilians have died, and the Congolese civil war that has killed more than 3 million people for ten years, and the long-term economic collapse Zimbabwe, where the people don’t have a livelihood, the division of North and South Sudan, and the civil war in Angola that lasted for 27 years, and so on.

These all happened after the so-called ‘civilized world’ believed that the world had moved towards peace in the 1990s.

Since countries in the world can foster or overthrow one regime after another in Africa for their own benefit or even pure influence, the Westeros system can of course also.

Janet was obviously interested. He let go of Simon’s arm and moved closer to the world map. She gestured around Africa for a moment. Women didn’t care much about Africa in the past. They only knew that the family owned a lot of mining assets in some African countries. Will go hunting in Africa with some friends.

However, without much information, Janet made a short gesture and pointed to the Central African region: "This is the most suitable, right?"

Simon nodded.

North Africa has oil interests and borders Europe, so the Westeros system cannot take root there. Southern Africa, especially South Africa, many people are now staring at it, which is not appropriate.

Therefore, the Central African region on the front line of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania is just right. Even if various resources and mineral deposits are still abundant, due to the high emperor, the overall cost is not worth the loss, especially the landlocked countries. There are no major powers in the world. Too many economic benefits.

The key to the Rwanda massacre being ignored by the entire international community lies here.

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

Simon stepped forward and put his arms around the woman’s waist. With his other hand, he nodded in Eastern Europe and Latin America. He said: "After the disintegration 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, the civil war in Colombia and other countries has been 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. In areas like Africa, As long as there are 10,000 elite troops equipped with the highest level of equipment, even if a regime cannot be established, they can still separate one side and become a major warlord that affects the political development of a country."

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

Simon nodded: "Yes."

Janet thought for a while and said: "Based on 10,000 people, how much do we need to spend every year?"

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

Janet had no objection to this.

If it is really necessary, the Westeros system can indeed provide $5 billion annually.

It was immediately understood that the problem of money is indeed the least problem for the Westeros system. The most critical point is how to make such a ‘violent machine’ in Africa continue to be used by the Westeros family loyally, and even consider whether this matter will trigger pressure and backlash from the local and even the international community.

Simon has actually considered this.

At the same time, choosing to recruit soldiers in Eastern Europe, Latin America and Africa was originally aimed at differentiation and checks and balances, so as to prevent a certain careerist from getting rid of the control of the Westeros system and becoming a king after becoming a powerful force. There are actually many things like this in Africa, including Europe and the United States. Spokespersons cultivated in various countries often cease to be so obedient after they are full of wings.

Moreover, this consideration is still the most basic plan.

The current situation is that there are ideas, but Simon can't find anyone he can trust to implement them.

In the final analysis, the foundation of the Westeros family is too shallow.

Janet also quickly thought of this. She took the man’s arm again, and leaned her head on Simon’s shoulder, and said: “I recently went back to Melbourne. Speaking of, in order to protect overseas mines and shipping ships, the family’s There are mercenaries, otherwise Dad didn't dare to go hunting in Africa often. But I never cared about it before, and there are not many."

Simon nodded, that's what he thought.

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

Before the intersection with himself, although the wealth of the Johnston family has never been conspicuous, it is ultimately a billion-level super-rich. More importantly, it is a century-old veteran family. The accumulation of network resources in all aspects far exceeds that of ordinary people. Imagine.

Simon had previously built the Westeros family's intelligence team, which Raymond Johnston personally helped identify.

This time, it can only be so.

Simon is not surprised that Janet said that the Johnston family has a mercenary team.

The world is far less peaceful than ordinary people imagine.

The overseas mines of the Johnston family, especially those in Africa, must have their own armed forces if they want to maintain normal operations and not be attacked by rebel mobs. The same is true for shipping. Many important shipping lanes in the world are still infested with large numbers of pirates at this stage. Without any self-defense force, a ship may be gone.

"Since I'm going back, take Jenny with the three children," Janet was reluctant to leave. Simon mentioned it again. The woman agreed this time, and Simon continued: "One more thing, after you arrive in Melbourne Take the time to find out where to build a vault."

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

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

The recent movements of the North American media and politicians have made Simon a very strong vigilance. The West may have the universal notion that private property is sacred and inviolable, but if you truly believe this, you are a fool. "Predation" is an instinct rooted in the deepest part of all biological genes. The United States can plunder other people's resources and benefits on a global scale. When necessary, it has never said that it does not deliberately plunder its own people.

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

For this world, the most steadfast guarantee is not only a powerful enough violent machine but also wealth.

Therefore, in addition to building a defensive ‘Sword of Damocles’ for the Westeros family, Simon also intends to continue to store a huge fortune in a place he considers 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 type of wealth. Stocks, land, real estate, etc. lack flexibility and can even be easily banned by government authorities at certain times.

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

No matter how various countries that have departed from the gold standard devalue the value of gold, gold is absolutely worthy of its status as the ‘king of currency’. As long as there are signs of economic crisis or social unrest in almost all countries in the world, some people with a keen sense of smell will always think of buying as much gold as possible the first time. When the international situation is tense, the first thing that some countries think of is to transport their gold stored overseas as soon as possible.

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

Therefore, Simon intends to continuously convert the extra funds gradually surplus in the Westeros system into physical gold for storage from now on.

When Janet heard Simon’s plan to buy a large amount of gold, she just blinked a few eyes and nodded bluntly, and then suggested: "It can be built in Tasmania, where is our private territory, um, actually The original underground shelter was very suitable."

Simon said: "Melbourne is fine. The storage location is too remote but not safe. We can't always have a security team there. If no one is guarded, no matter how strong a fortress is, it won't stop the interested."

"In this case, we plan to build a professional vault on the fourth basement level of the Westeros Building in Manhattan. It is no problem to store hundreds of tons of gold," Janet said. Before Simon objected, she reacted. , And shook his head: "Well, it can't be placed in the United States."

Simon smiled and was about to continue talking when someone knocked on the study door.

"Wait a minute."

Simon raised his voice and said, he glanced at the world map of "Ukraine" in front of him marked by a black ink pen, reached out and directly took the map off and rolled it up. After a while, he ordered outsiders to come in. The plan just now is not suitable for staying at any clues that can be caught by others, and can only communicate with the most trusted people through words.

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 wall of the study. Both of them were in good condition. There was no sign of any signs. Alison was slightly guilty and raised his eyes, softly. Said: "Boss, Madam, Ms. Veronica asked me to come and ask what I plan to have for dinner?"

Simon didn’t care about it. He patted Janet’s waist and signaled that she could arrange dinner. He walked to the shredder in the study and watched with his own eyes that the world map just turned into pieces in the special shredder, smaller than rice grains. Only then did he leave the study.
