Chapter 612: Sword of Damocles

After grinding her ears and temples for a moment, Janet said softly: "Simon, if you don't turn off the live broadcast of those little vases in advance, it will be more lively recently." ”

The recent media and political attacks on Simon's extravagant personal life and calls to curb Simon's wealth are the most cited by the maids of the Wei family who he has cultivated like a raised princess around the world, and the London girls team that is still live streaming is undoubtedly the most direct evidence.

Simon shook his head: "No, otherwise it will seem that my heart is weak." Since they feel that my life is like that of a king, I intend for everyone to gradually get used to this. ”

Janet has recently been mainly integrating the public relations team of the Westeros system, uniformly refuting and responding to various questioning attacks from the media and political circles, and closing the live broadcast early is also a suggestion made to Janet by many backbones of the public relations team. Seeing Simon's refusal, Janet didn't insist at all, and looked at her man with sparkling eyes: "Then what should we do next?"

Simon replied, "I was reading a script called Broken Arrow recently. ”

Janet blinked, waiting for Simon to continue.

Simon gently pulled the woman up from the couch, and the two walked to one of the walls of the study, where there was a map of the world that had just been hung up in recent days.

"'Broken Arrow' is a special military code name for the U.S. military, which means the accidental loss of nuclear weapons," Simon explained before coming to the map, taking a pen from a nearby storage shelf, drawing a circle on a country in Eastern Europe, and then adding: "You know, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and most of the time a lot of things happen in this world for very simple reasons, like last week's assassination." In the same way, I have never let my guard down against the world. We now have $200 billion, which is already the wealth of many small countries, and if I do die suddenly, just more than half of the inheritance tax will be a feast for many people. ”

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

The collapse of the Soviet Union has turned all of Eastern Europe into a playground for careerists, speculators and arms dealers in recent years.

The last of them, because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, which led to the general collapse of the economy in Eastern Europe, the countries of Eastern Europe can no longer support the original size of their armies, and the huge amount of military equipment left over from the former Soviet era to compete with the United States has been widely resold by generals and soldiers.

In the former Soviet Union now, if you want guns and ammunition, it's not a business, a few pieces of bread can be exchanged for a good high-power rifle. Armored vehicles, tanks, submarines, destroyers and even giant aircraft carriers, as long as you pay for them and dare to receive them, you can drive them back to your home.

One of the most sensitive arms deals is undoubtedly nuclear weapons.

In Simon's memory, at the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine, as one of the members of the Soviet Union, deployed more than 2 nuclear weapons. Ukraine voluntarily chose to abandon its nuclear weapons under the deception of European and American countries, and successively transferred all nuclear weapons in its territory to Russia for storage or destruction within 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 ball.

After investigation, most of these nuclear warheads were secretly purchased by countries around the world, including terrorist groups in the Middle East. Therefore, the conspiracy of the action hero in Hollywood movies to stop the terrorists from detonating nuclear bombs again and again is definitely not a fiction, but just to avoid panic, similar incidents are often tightly sealed by the government authorities.

After Simon finished explaining, he felt Janet gently hold his arm, looked at her, and asked a woman the same question as before: "Are you afraid?"

Janet's fair face flushed slightly, not fear, but excitement: "Don't be afraid." ”

The woman understood that her man was planning to forge a 'sword of Damocles' over the heads of many who coveted the wealth of the Westeros family.

If last week's assassination were to happen again, if it did work out, if it was found that someone had premeditated it for the Westeros fortune, then the slender horsehair that bound the 'Sword of Damocles' would break.

Janet was more aware of it.

If the last thing you want to see happens, she will most likely be the 'executor' who cuts off the hanging mane.

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

Now, maybe that's my fate.

Fate!

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

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

Janet also raised her hand and pointed to the southern Australian island of Tasmania, where Simon continued to buy land: "And hide here?"

"Of course not, this is also our home at the end of the world, and it could be a nuisance if discovered," Simon said, his finger sliding down Eastern Europe towards the vast expanse of Africa: "Here, this is a continent that is habitually forgotten, and compared to other continents in the world, Africa will only continue to be in a long-term war phase for a long time to come, and my plan is to run a country here." ”

In the 90s, with the disintegration of the world, many people always thought that the world had gradually moved towards peace.

In fact, this is not the case.

Because in the habitually forgotten continent, there is also the chaotic Somalia, the Rwandan massacre in which nearly a million civilians died, the Congolese civil war that has lasted for a decade and has killed more than 3 million people, the long-term economic collapse and the misery of Zimbabwe, the division of North and South Sudan, and the Angolan civil war that has lasted for 27 years, and so on.

This happened after the nineties, when the so-called 'civilized world' thought that the world was moving towards peace.

If countries around the world can install or overthrow regime after regime in Africa for their own benefit, or even just pure influence, the Westeros system certainly can.

Janet was obviously interested, let go of Simon's arm and got closer to the world map, and gestured around Africa for a while, the woman didn't care much about Africa in the past, only knew that the family owned a lot of mining assets in some African countries, and her father used to go hunting in Africa with some friends every year.

However, without much information, Janet gestured for a moment and pointed to the Central African region: "This is the best place, right?"

Simon nodded.

North Africa has oil interests, and with a border with Europe, the Westeros system cannot take root there. Southern Africa, especially South Africa, is now staring at a lot of people and is not suitable.

Therefore, the Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania is just the right place in the Central African region, even if all kinds of resources and mineral deposits are still abundant, but because of the high sky, the comprehensive cost outweighs the loss, especially the landlocked countries, the world's major powers do not have much economic interests here.

This is the key to the ignorance of the Rwandan genocide by the entire international community.

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

Simon stepped forward and put his arm around the woman's waist, nodded with his other hand in Eastern Europe and Latin America, and said: "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, and on the Latin American side, civil wars in Colombia and other countries have been fought for decades, and there are also many elite soldiers, we can recruit mercenaries from these two places, and after confirming the African base, we can also recruit a team locally." In a region like Africa, as long as there are 10,000 elite troops equipped with the most advanced equipment, even if they cannot establish a political power, they can still divide one side and become a major warlord that affects the political situation of a certain country. ”

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

Simon nodded, "yes." ”

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

"Money doesn't matter at all," Simon said, pointing to an inconspicuous corner of the world map: "Israel's defense budget last year was only $5.3 billion, but it could confront the entire Middle East." This money, even the Westeros system, can be taken now. ”

Janet has no objection to that.

If it really had to, the Westeros system could now indeed come up with $5 billion a year.

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

Simon has actually thought about it.

At the same time, the choice to recruit soldiers in Eastern Europe, Latin America and Africa was to divide and balance, so as to prevent a careerist from breaking free from the control of the Westeros system and becoming a king after becoming a powerful man.

Moreover, this consideration is still the most basic planning.

Now the situation is that the ideas are there, and Simon has not yet found someone he can trust to carry them out.

At the end of the day, it's the Westeros family whose roots are too shallow.

Janet also quickly thought of this, grabbed the man's arm again, tilted her head sideways and nodded on Simon's shoulder, and said, "I recently went back to Melbourne, and speaking of which, in order to protect some of the family's minerals in Africa, our family also has mercenaries. ”

......

......

Because in the habitually forgotten continent, there is also the chaotic Somalia, the Rwandan massacre in which nearly a million civilians died, the Congolese civil war that has lasted for a decade and has killed more than 3 million people, the long-term economic collapse and the misery of Zimbabwe, the division of North and South Sudan, and the Angolan civil war that has lasted for 27 years, and so on.

This happened after the nineties, when the so-called 'civilized world' thought that the world was moving towards peace.

Since countries around the world can support or overthrow one regime after another for their own interests, even on the continent, the Westeros system can certainly do it.

Janet was obviously interested, let go of Simon's arm and got closer to the world map, and gestured around Africa for a while, the woman didn't care much about Africa in the past, only knew that the family owned a lot of mining assets in some African countries, and her father used to go hunting in Africa with some friends every year.
