Immediately after her final exams, Alice flew back to Los Angeles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Miyano, of course, didn't go along, not mentioning the necessity of the foundation, the matter of the umbrella Tokyo branch, or the Miss Sadako, who has basically recovered, also needs her to be hands-on to a certain extent.

At the same time, since the date is already in December, it means that war is imminent.

It won't be long before US Secretary of State Baker and Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz meet in Geneva for the last time before the war, but both sides believe that there is no room for compromise and the talks do not come to fruition. Just three days later, the United States Congress would authorize the expulsion of Iraq from Kuwait, and shortly thereafter, the other countries of the coalition would also authorize their troops.

Four days later, the war officially began.

There will be big moves in the bay, and there will be no peace in the Soviet Union. At the end of this month, the Slovenian people have voted to secede from Yugoslavia, and by April next year, Georgia will continue to declare independence, and then by the time August arrives, seven countries will declare independence in less than ten days, a wave that will directly contribute to the final dissolution of the Soviet Union at the end of the year.

It's all big things, so this winter break, Alice has to go back to Los Angeles because there are so many things to deal with.

Although it is not that Alice will suffer a huge loss if she does not participate, since she has already entrusted Leo Vantaa to invest in the Soviet Union, and has a mercenary force of 3,000 people in hand, there is really no reason not to meddle.

The Boeing 747 crossed the Pacific Ocean and landed at Los Angeles International Airport, where a Black Hawk helicopter belonging to the group was waiting, piloted by Brudy, the bodyguard who remained in the Alice Building, and Monica was also on the scene.

"Miss!"

Amid the roar of the rumbling propeller, Monica said, "Mr. and Miss Akaman have also arrived at the roof of the building and are now meeting with Ms. Wang." ”

Uncle Akaman and Maiya are really glad to have arrived in time, especially since Alice learned on the plane that Ashley, who had been mixing in Europe, had also arrived. Come to think of it, Eastern Europe is part of Europe, Italy is not very far from the mouth of the Red Sea, and since the Soviet Union has become more and more unstable during this time, and the surrounding Gulf is even more war-like, there is no reason why she should not visit.

The helicopter took off from the airport and headed straight for downtown Los Angeles, where you could see the 600-meter-high Alice Building. Alice sits in the cabin with sound-isolating earmuffs on her head and communicates with Monica through a headset.

"The construction of Vanda Plaza in Manhattan has officially begun, and 21 buildings are being built at the same time, and the average height is currently seven floors, not counting the basement. In addition, AT&T just sent an email yesterday asking us to work with us to accelerate the construction of California's network infrastructure, mainly fiber optic networks. ”

Opening her mouth is a piece of blockbuster news, and Monica uses another one to pave the way, but Alice is still stunned before reacting.

"Is it a large-scale deployment of optical fiber networks? But this technology is very expensive, don't they consider the possibility of losing money? ”

The plane flew to Alice Mansion for a short time, so Monica reported quickly: "Mainly because our building has been fully laid with optical fiber, and its office efficiency has long been passed on." While the average company certainly can't afford to pay, as of now, there are more than 300 customers applying for fiber optic networks in Silicon Valley alone, and our neighbors near the city center are also eager for it. Losing money, AT&T won't worry about that. ”

Alice's brain was racing. What to call it, this is the publicity effect brought by the first batch of users spontaneously, of course, Alice did not advertise the optical fiber network, but the fact that she let the whole skyscraper lay optical fiber is the most publicized publicity in itself. Of course, others are not fools, the building has been built for so long, and it is enough to watch from the sidelines, even if the price is a little expensive, but the office efficiency brought is also real.

"Obviously, it doesn't make sense if it's just an increase in the efficiency of the network in an office building. So...... There are 300 in Silicon Valley, tsk, do you want to join forces to promote the infrastructure laying of optical fiber networks? ”

The email that only arrived yesterday was based on the fact that Alice was still in Japan at the time, so it was inevitable that there were many things that she was not directly involved in. If you think about it carefully, there are so many doors here, and the meetings and consultations between managers of various enterprises can definitely make many people tired day and night. Fortunately, Alice's height is here, and there is no need to participate in those relatively low-level social interactions, otherwise she wouldn't have to do anything else all day long, and go to meetings with messy business representatives every day!

In the past six months or so, since even Northrop Grumman, California's big arms dealer, has been in contact with Alice, this entire huge corporate consortium will of course radiate to the entire United States with unprecedented influence, and California is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

The fiber optic network covers California, and this is of course only the first step, and light is the first step...... The GDP will be equal to that of California, the eighth largest economy in the world, which is equivalent to the universal use of fiber optic networks throughout France, right? The territory is enough, the economic strength is enough, and the number of enterprises is enough, so other states should not be too envious.

In a short time, the helicopter slowly landed on the helipad on the top floor of the Alice Building, and the edge of the open-air garden was seven or eight meters straight down. Alice didn't climb the building slowly, jumped directly into the garden, and then walked directly into the apartment, and then took the elevator downstairs to the office of the chairman of the Ambrera Investment Company below.

"Hey, Alice, coming down from upstairs!?"

As soon as the elevator door opened, a tall figure jumped and gave Alice a big bear hug: "I miss you so much~ come, kiss one!" ”

Knowing that it was Ashley, she slapped her mouth directly into the face, Alice quickly pushed her away, and then, Maiya, who had not seen her for a few days, stepped forward and gave her a hug.

"You're so welcoming." Alice patted them, and in the office, Sophie was also chatting with Uncle Akaman, and then got up and said, "Alice, everything is okay in Tokyo?" ”

"Of course, Mom, hey Levier, is there any good news for me?"

"There's a lot of good news, depending on which one you want to hear."

"Let's talk about the Soviet Union first, what's going on there?"

Of course, this question is not related to "disintegration", and Akaman's face was grim, and he first looked around. Fortunately, all the people who are staying in this room are their own people, and as Alice's core office, of course, there is no need to worry about who will install bugs.

"According to the informant, Gorbachev has completely lost his hair on his forehead." He smiled softly: "The disappearance of the two Typhoon-class strategic nuclear submarines will become an eternal nightmare for the Soviet leadership, and even if it does disintegrate one day, the successor government will definitely spare no effort to find them." It can be said that for a long time, the Soviet Union had absolutely no energy to fight with the United States, and just getting the submarines back was enough for them to consume all the intelligence officers. ”

Listening to this topic, Ashley felt a little like she couldn't stand or sit. If you want to talk about the content, politics and military gods, it's her thing, but if you want to talk about the nature, there is really no way to ignore it. At this point, Maimi's role will be revealed, and she will sit silently beside her, put her hand on her shoulder, and immediately tell Ashley to be honest.

"But the Pentagon will definitely not ......live in peace," Alice rubbed her temples and said, "After all, it is a hundred nuclear bombs, and it would be a nightmare to fall into the hands of any third party, so the NSA and CIA will definitely set up a joint investigation team." Uncle Akkamán, do you think we can send someone into this group? ”

Ashley stuck out her tongue again.

"Misleading their thinking, right?" Akman touched his chin and said, "But this kind of thing, unless it is revealed, will never give up." If we really want to send a man, we have to be prepared for a protracted war of more than five to ten years, and no dead soldier would be willing to accept such a task...... We are just a consortium, not a state. ”

Speaking of this, Sophie couldn't help but sigh again.

How did she give birth to such an unconscious daughter?

It's not good to steal what to steal, go and steal a nuclear submarine!?

And one steal is two!?

And it's fully loaded with nuclear missiles!?

Do you want to buy two get one free and plunder that one again and again!?

There are only a few Typhoon-class ships in total, hey!

Sophie really thinks that even if Alice gets married one day and steals a man, and then even if she steals seven or eight in one go and has a ** party, it is better than stealing this......

"Candidates, theoretically, there are, the kind that has been working for more than ten years." Alice said: "It's just that the preliminary work is too cumbersome, and the results may not be equal, so it's not that it can't be done, but there is no need to do it." We just need to make sure that those two nuclear submarines have nothing to do with us, what do you say? ”

The topic at hand is indeed much more important than the imminent Gulf War, so Akaman naturally put the topic down and discussed it with Alice in detail.

"The whole thing started because you made a bet with the director of Northrop Grumman, and although he didn't know that you stole two nuclear submarines, if the CIA really asked, the old man would definitely think about it. So what we need to deal with is the question about him, killing people and killing people? Destroying corpses? Is there a second option besides such extreme measures? ”

Yes, there must be, but Alice can't explain it, and as for Akaman's words, of course, she absolutely agrees. Think about Northrop Grumman's business, the construction of a full set of Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, and the production of a series of submarines, radars and ships, in the face of the theft of the Typhoon-class nuclear submarine, how can the CIA not go to him to ask?

Oh, and of course, no matter how dangerous, they were two of the largest nuclear submarines in history with nuclear bombs fully loaded. To say that Akkaman and Sophie and others are not tempted is simply the biggest joke in human history.

"Yes...... I really have to think about the problem of sealing. ”

This time it wasn't Alice, Sophie shook the black teacup lightly and began to use her brain.
