Chapter 632: Comparison
In between another shooting, Barbara approached Phoebe and wanted to talk, but Seo Hyun, who was originally beside Phoebe, saw Barbara coming and immediately ran away with a red face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Barbara shook her head helplessly at first and said, "Look at the good things you two have done." β
"Xu Xian is like this, it will be fine in a few days. And it's nice that she hasn't been able to get close to you?" asked Phoebe.
Barbara laughed, shook her head and shoulders, and said, "You and Sunny work so well together. β
Phoebe shrugged, "Well, we've known each other since we were kids and we've been together almost all the time. β
Barbara glanced at Sunny, who was dragging Taeyeon and didn't know what she was going to do, and said, "I realized that I underestimated her a little before." To be honest, I was a little curious as to why she was so organized. β
"Huh?" Phoebe looked at Barbara inexplicably.
Barbara shook her head: "Well, this question is not important, what matters is later, right?"
Phoebe tilted her head to look at Barbara, and then said, "You and Sister Sun are the closest people to me. You don't have to compete with her. β
Barbara was stunned for a moment, then shook her head slightly and said, "It's not that I'm competing, but I think it's a pity that she was a girl." β
Phoebe shrugged her shoulders and said: "This is the path my sister chose to take, not the path chosen by others for her, the path she chose, even if she climbs, she has to climb to the end, my sister has such a quality and such determination, I support her, I will not stop and shake her, I will only stand by and support her, and at the same time prevent anyone from interfering with her." β
Barbara looked at Phoebe amusedly and said, "Sounds like a mockery." β
Phoebe shook her head and said, "It's just a matter of facts." β
Barbara nodded, and sighed with some emotion in her heart - didn't she think the same way once upon a time, but later, she still succumbed to Langley and the circle, and even after Titan followed Phoebe, she also succumbed, if someone could stand next to Phoebe like this and support herself with all her might, I don't know, what would she be doing now? Eastern Europe? Germany? Barbara then realized that she really didn't seem to have any ambitions, but just went with the flow.
So Barbara patted Phoebe on the arm and said, "Don't worry, I'm not fighting with her, but I want to understand why you can accept her approach first, not others, well, Sunny does have some qualities that ordinary people don't have." β
Phoebe smiled and said, "Sister is actually very disgusted by your discovery of my ancestral bloodline, although she didn't say it, but I know that she doesn't want anyone to mention my ancestors, she thinks it's an offense to my past, and she will do some pranks on you in the future." β
Thinking of the fact that she was pressed on her head and kissed Xu Xian just now, Barbara couldn't help but nodded: "Well, okay, she is indeed justified in this matter, and her maintenance of you is really unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, I really shouldn't check your past." β
Phoebe smiled and said, "For me, it's nothing, but my sister is always worried that mentioning the family and family will make me sad. β
Through Phoebe's expression, Barbara knew that Phoebe was very useful for this, and couldn't help but think of herself, who was also an orphan, and didn't seem to want others to check her family, because there was no one left......
Lost in thought, Barbara felt her arm be touched, and when she saw that it was Yuna who brought the ice cream, she also heard Yuna say, "I heard that you kissed?"
Barbara takes a glass of ice cream with a smile on her face, while Phoebe takes another one, and Yoona looks at Barbara with a smile on her face.
Barbara tilted her head and looked at Phoebe and said, "It's a good thing that she and Sunny kicked out." β
Yun'er looked at Phoebe with a smile and said, "Okay, Phoebe, it turns out that you can also listen to and play." β
Phoebe spread her hands and said: "There are just two heads so close to each other, I guess even my sister can't help but push it." β
Yun'a smiled and nodded, leaned closer and whispered, "Xiaoxian is actually not very angry, really. After speaking, he raised his eyebrows.
Barbara shook her head and said, "You guys are a bunch of little girls who haven't grown up. β
Yuna smiled again and asked, "How is Xiaoxian's lips?"
Barbara is not a character who allows others to ridicule, tilted her head to look at the sky, and at the same time touched her lips and said, "Well, the time is a bit short, too late to feel it." After speaking, he raised his hand and pinched Yun'er's chin and said, "But I feel that your lips are thinner than hers." β
Yun'a immediately dodged back, and at the same time waved her hand in front of her: "Ah." β
Phoebe smiled and said, "Sister, Barbara is not easy to bully, she kissed me a lot when I was in the United States." β
"Huh?" Yun'er's expression suddenly turned from laughter to surprise.
Barbara shrugged her shoulders and said, "What's this, kissing ceremonies are common in the United States." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to hook Phoebe's waist and said, "Come, let's put on a show." β
Yun'er suddenly rolled her eyes and said, "You guys are really crazy, it's different here in Korea." β
Barbara nodded suddenly, looked at Yuna and said, "Well, what I said to you makes sense." It's not a big problem when you get to the United States, well, the next time I go to the United States, I'll also practice with you, I've heard that you kissed in the dormitory in order to practice kiss scenes. β
Yun'er immediately knew that Barbara was really not good at flirting, and she shook her head and wanted to turn away, but Barbara didn't let her go, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Yun'er's waist and dragged her to herself.
However, Barbara still didn't kiss her, she just looked at Yun'er's face with a smile, and saw that Yun'er was a little frightened, so she let go of her hand with a smile and said, "Little girl, Sunny and Phoebe just got away with it once, see how I clean them up in the future." And what you did in the Boston pool last time, I'm going to take revenge on them one by one. β
Barbara's appearance bluffed Yun'er into a "sister" mode, holding Barbara's arm and about to be coquettish, basically saying "Big sister, I'm actually on your side", Barbara looked at Yun'er funny, and said: "Your trick doesn't work well for me, change to someone else." β
This made Yun'er suddenly frown, thinking that she had no other tricks to use.
Seeing that Yun'er was just stunned for a moment, she immediately began to coquettish again, Barbara smiled: "I said that your trick is useless to me, I really kiss you if you do this again." β
Yuna immediately pouted and took a step back, then took another step back, then grimaced and ran away.
Barbara watched Yun'er run two and then turn around and grimace, shook her head with a smile, crutched Phoebe with her arm, and said, "By the way, both the Pentagon and the Admiralty are curious and incredulous about how we caused so much damage to the warship, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hide it for too long under the guise of a whale." β
Phoebe shook her head indifferently and said: "Let the people below insist that they are using the huge lung capacity and special vocal organs of marine mammals, plus the mechanical resonance caused by water waves, don't pay attention to them, our current level of secrecy is not something they can easily coerce." β
Barbara nodded, and said with a smile: "But this show you came up with is really good, haha, revenge from the depths of the ocean, in fact, some of them think that we are telling the truth, according to your orders, we did not promote this matter, and now they themselves are divided into two factions and quarrel fiercely." β
"Oh, it's only been a few days, how can it change so quickly?" Phoebe didn't know why this time.
Barbara shook her head and said, "Didn't the new president say that he would implement health insurance?" The Pentagon tends to believe us, and the Admiralty tends not to believe it, what they mean is that since we have built floating islands, coupled with our acoustic labs in California, they feel that we should master some unannounced technology, and the Pentagon has always hated the Navy's use of expensive weapons to hit simple targets, but the Air Force's drone program can save more money, and this is where the dispute comes from, and we just provide a stage for them to quarrel this timeγ β
Phoebe didn't comment, but said, "The Admiralty guessed pretty close. But then she shook her head and said: "It shouldn't be because of the new president, when the Navy asked us to change the construction steps because of Russia's exercises in the Caribbean, we were ready to provide tugboat fees, and the Pentagon was quite supportive at that time." I think that the Pentagon is afraid that the new president will ask for an investigation into the project when he comes up, so they are ready to throw all the responsibility to the Admiralty, and the Admiralty people don't really want to sit idly by, so they may make trouble by some things. β
When Barbara heard this, she remembered the tugboat fee of nearly 10 million per day, and nodded and said, "Well, there is also this possibility." β
Phoebe said: "No matter what, we won't help anyone when they quarrel on both sides, after all, the Pentagon is a big customer, and the Navy has a closer relationship with us, and it's not good to help anyone, so I always insist that we can only do it by organizing marine life, and besides, I belong to the engineer type, and the combination of various technologies and theories is the strength of engineers, and we are what we say, and there is nothing that cannot be done." β
Barbara smiled and nodded, "Did you notice? Titan has begun to transform into a pit customer."
Phoebe shook her head and said, "Nonsense, where are they pitted, we don't plan to buy this technology to anyone." β
Barbara nodded with a smile again, and then said: "When you were filming just now, I looked at the email, and the eldest sister sent it, saying that she was a little worried, although the family selected by the Chinese plan does not seem to leak secrets, but you also know that after any long-term plan is proposed, Americans will always have the problem of enriching this plan, and even adding subsidiary plans." Isn't it strange that the last time she proposed the feed plan for the Middle East Committee, she worries that China's plan will eventually go out of shape. β
Phoebe nodded after hearing this: "Indeed, the United States always has such a problem...... "This is also the reason why I asked her not to come up with the whole plan." But now it seems that because we are only running this secret plan in the form of a family alliance, although some things will be added according to the differences of each family and even each person, it is better than the plan that is carried out explicitly. β
Barbara nodded, but she knew that Phoebe hadn't finished speaking, and sure enough, Phoebe said again: "Well, if you ask her to tell a story to the families participating in the plan, it's not actually a story, but some soldiers who can be called legends." The Chinese army's cooks are specialized technical arms - I mean, probably. However, it is undeniable that the Chinese cooks are not weaker than their ordinary soldiers in terms of battlefield performance, remembering that during the Korean War, there were often records of Chinese cooks charging with them and sending hot food and hot water to the front line through the line of fire. β
Barbara looked at Phoebe in amazement, Phoebe smiled a little, and continued: "You ask the eldest sister to study the records of the Chinese cooks before going to China, summarize the matter in this regard, and write it in an email or tell those families to know. And then let them think for themselves, when all the chefs in China have the same fighting power and determination as soldiers, are those plans added by people who only know a little about China really appropriate?"
Barbara thought for a moment before she nodded, "Well, I see, what you said does make sense." Although I don't know the specific examples of Chinese cooks, since you specifically mentioned them, they must be quite tough. But why don't they put these cooks in the ace unit or the elite unit?"
Phoebe shrugged her shoulders and said, "Because they are Chinese, they are different from us, and their ideas are naturally different." By the way, you probably don't know that thousands of years ago, the Chinese had a strict division of artists or artists in ancient times, and artists were classified as gentlemen, belonging to a member of the upper class in ancient China, and if they want to be the upper class, many people must also have personal achievements in music or painting and poetry, unlike now. And the artists at that time were like singers and opera performers. But unlike Europe, the status of those artists is very low, and even not as high as Chinese chefs, you know, Chinese chefs have belonged to the middle class in the past and now, so the Chinese diet will be so rich and diverse, unlike Europe and the United States, by the way, French cuisine and Italian cuisine have also entered the middle class thanks to the status of chefs, you can't look at the UK. β
Barbara barely absorbed Phoebe's words and said amusedly: "It seems that people who study the history of world cuisine should ask you to teach them a lesson, but you are right, the enthusiasm of the middle class and the contribution of technology to society far exceed that of the upper and lower classes." β
"Well, the cooks in the Chinese army are also middle class, so they are more flexible in battle, and coupled with the physical fitness honed in the harsh environment of the kitchen for a long time, although the tactical movements are not as good as those of long-term training soldiers, their abilities are better than many soldiers. For example, Chinese cooks need to slaughter live animals by themselves, although they can't kill a group every day, but it is still very possible to kill a bunch every week, and they have fish, pigs, sheep, chickens, etc., plus the high temperature when cooking, and the physical strength required when stir-frying and carrying, so whether it is physical or psychological quality, they are indeed easy to be stronger than ordinary soldiers who have undergone severe training. β
"Cooks often kill" is the first time Barbara has heard the phrase, but she feels that Phoebe seems to be reasonable, although she doesn't know the specific examples of Chinese cooks, but she feels that I'm afraid that it is really like Phoebe said, after going to the battlefield, the Chinese cooks must be a group of quite terrifying soldiers. Based on her personal experience, when participating in Langley's training, the most difficult hurdle was to climb through the barbed wire fence mixed into the land by the animals, and the Chinese cooks may not need to train like that, but people slaughter and dismember animals every day, and I am afraid that she has seen many more scenes than she experienced during training, so ......
Barbara shuddered a little when she thought of thisβthere were so many Chinese soldiers, how many cooks must there be?
Phoebe said at this time: "By the way, I can tell you one thing now, during the Korean War, there was a Chinese cook who crossed the line of fire to deliver food to friendly soldiers, and he felt bored waiting, so he asked someone to borrow a rifle, and the gun almost hit, killing a lot of our people." Basically, every time he came to deliver food, he had to borrow a gun to play, which made our people always feel that there was a powerful sniper in China, and the position was still erratic. Later, through the newspapers of the Chinese, I learned that the people were cooking soldiers, specially responsible for cooking, and they went to the front line to shoot just because they had to wait to take back the pots and pans, so they were idle and bored. β
Barbara looked at Phoebe in shock: "Don't be kidding, such a person should be a top sniper, right?"
"Of course he's a cook. If you want to know, just search the Internet and you'll get results. If you want to know more details, when you return to the United States, I will take you to see the detailed records, in the records of our positional sniper war with the Chinese at that time, to be honest, after knowing that the Chinese sniper was a cook, the military top brass did not dare to tell the soldiers below. β
Barbara continued to look incredulous, and after a while said, "The middle class is indeed the driving force of society, but they are also the main cause of the great loss of society. β
Phoebe only shrugged her shoulders at this, because she knew that Barbara's last sentence was referring to middle-class families who had embraced the Democratic Party and Europe's pluralistic social narrative, and who had taken things too simply.
Barbara added, "So, do you want to remind some people to be careful of Chinese chefs?"
"Well, it doesn't have to be, you know, the chef's greatest wish is basically to make the best meal possible, and the rest of the things are usually done with the ease of doing things, not focusing on that. β
Barbara nodded when she heard this, "Yes, or they won't be able to cook a variety of dishes." β
And Phoebe said: "In fact, through the example of Chinese chefs, you can also see the nature of the Chinese, as long as they are not bullied too hard, they can still speak well." β
Barbara nodded again and said, "Think about it Chinese can cook Chinese food...... To be honest, I feel like we used to grossly underestimate China's military potential, and I mean really. β
Phoebe said with a smile: "Don't worry, the industrial breeding and slaughtering model will change the combat effectiveness of the Chinese." β
Barbara was a little surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"If you look at Germany, the slaughtering and processing of pork are completely handed over to mechanized workshops, and Germany's combat effectiveness has also decreased significantly, and China is also introducing such workshops on a large scale, which shows that there is no need to worry too much about them. And from the point of view of slaughter, don't you think that the Middle East can force the United States into this, maybe there is a reason for this?"
Barbara looked at Phoebe with some strange eyes, and said, "I see how you made an ambiguous point this time, if it was really related to slaughter, then Mongolia would not be weak like that." β
Phoebe nodded and said: "From the example of the cooking soldiers, it can be seen that they still lack an extreme environment, this extreme environment is not the extreme of the natural environment, but the extreme environment that knows the extreme environment, but can still stay in that environment, which requires patience and willpower, but also a sense of responsibility." β
Barbara nodded this time and said, "If you say so, it is true that the Soviets are strong. After finishing speaking, Barbara looked at Phoebe and said with a smile: "I said, you can also sort out your views this time and publish a book, at least the least, and it can also help you earn some fame in your girlhood." β
"Say that China has developed because they slaughter animals and are a nation of cooks?
"It's not that I've become stupid, it's that in front of you, no one can be smart......" Barbara shook her head with a wry smile......
Phoebe said, "Well, it's not that you're stupid, it's because of the new point I just said, huh?"
"Hmm. Barbara nodded.
"Just like a Chinese cook can be a sniper with a gun, don't be limited in thinking, we just want those families not to easily add new plans that suit their personal interests, and this statement is too one-sided and not universal. β
Barbara shook her head and said, "At least what you said, the fact that their cooks often slaughter live creatures does make sense, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to do, let alone those who advocate vegetarianism now." β
Phoebe smiled: "That's nothing to do with us, we just need to focus on two directions, one is Titan, the other is the Chinese project, and the future of other people has nothing to do with us, right?"
"Hmm. Barbara nodded, Phoebe's statement was typical Republican thinking, and Barbara and Phoebe thought the same.
Phoebe felt that Barbara was still a little confused, so she said again: "By the way, Sister Mira has children, and you have to speed up with Ebrun, at the latest, how about getting married next year?"
"It's too early, isn't it? And there's a lot going on on in the Emrun. Barbara shook her head.
"Isn't it just a fight with the United Nations, the IMO, and various space powers, how many things can be done, most of them are done by our people, you don't know about it?"
Barbara shook her head again: "Don't forget one more thing, you asked him to say that the floating island is not a land given by God, so no religious beliefs are accepted to enter, and also said that the nature of the floating island is a boat, so all the people on the island must abide by the rules set by him, the captain, and no religious ceremonies and religious tokens are allowed, so many people are thinking about making trouble for him." β
"Is it wrong to listen to the captain on the ship?"
"But some people don't think so. β
Phoebe said inexplicably: "Then let him make the next plan, tell those who have religious beliefs that religious ships can be built on the periphery of floating islands as shrines, and those who need to live religious life can go to religious ships to do so." β
Barbara shrugged with a wry smile and said, "You forget, not only those big religions, but also some small sects that are similar to cults, saying that the floating island is God's ark given to the new era Noah, that is, Ebron, and Ebron has no right to decide who can get on the ship and who can't." β
"If you don't accept it, isn't our deep-sea revenge technology for them? Are you worried that the Pentagon and the Navy will use this to threaten us?"
Barbara shook her head: "That's not it, they also think those people are very annoying, in fact, the key is that after Ebron's statement was put forward, the new president said something about it, you know that he is a lawyer, maybe he wants to invalidate the bill that we rushed to pass Congress, or he wants to find fault with us by finding loopholes." β
Phoebe was silent at this time, nodded after a while and said: "If this new president really makes trouble for us, the Atlantic Floaters carry Titan's next plan, and no one must be involved." β
"He has a very high level of support now, and if something happens to him, we will be in big trouble, by the way, didn't I tell you a few days ago, the first thing he did after taking office was to inject capital into Wall Street, and no one would move him at this time. β
"Well, that's right, I'm not going to attack him, but I can find something for him to do, like another attack on American soil or something. Phoebe nodded.
Barbara shook her head and said, "The NSA has been keeping a lot of eyes on it lately, you know, the new president is black, and the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are worried that white supremacists are going to make trouble." And you know, there are still people in the FBI who have been angry about our elimination of drug dealers in Boston and Detroit, and although the NSA doesn't say anything about it, they also want us not to use too drastic measures, anyway, even though there is no evidence, they have already decided that it is us. β
Phoebe smiled and said, "Look, Barbara, you're not stupid at all. β
Barbara was stunned for a moment, then gave Phoebe a blank look and said, "I found that I was still quite stupid, I didn't expect you to understand this and deliberately say that you were going to launch an attack on the mainland, so that I could tell the reason why I couldn't do it, right?"
Phoebe shook her head and said, "I'm just helping you verify that you're really not stupid, it's just that I messed up my train of thought because I came up with an idea that no one had come up with before." β
Barbara put her arm on Phoebe and said, "Don't talk about this, what are you going to do with the new president's snooping on us?"
"Didn't the NSA warn him that we had a higher level of secrecy than him? β
"I also think it's a little weird. Barbara nodded.
Phoebe added: "Maybe Wall Street had something else in mind after hearing about the fact that we would provide 20 tons of gold a year?"
Barbara was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Well, it's possible, no, it's very likely, he is a lawyer and has a lot to do with Wall Street." β
Phoebe said: "Strange, what happened, we belong to the side of industrial capital, why does industrial capital spy on us? It should be impossible for Jewish capital to know about us, right?"
Barbara frowned and said, "It's hard to explain the relationship between capitals. And now it's an economic crisis, I'm afraid that twenty tons of gold a year is too tempting for them. β
Phoebe shook her head and said, "Impossible...... Ah, didn't there be news the other day that the Russians began to officially mine gold in the Arctic Circle in Siberia, I'm afraid because of this. β
"Huh?"
"Now that the price of oil is also falling, the losses of industrial capital are probably greater than that of Jewish capital, and the news of the gold mines of the Russians may cause further blows to the funds in their hands, but before they are hit, there is still a period of excess, and they are afraid that they will speculate on the purchase price, and when the Russians' gold mines start to ship, it will make the price of gold plummet, and they are going for the Russians, and for our production, well, there is still talk. β
Barbara wondered at this time: "What do they really mean? You must know that we are in the same camp, if you come to tell us, for example, on the eve of the Russians' shipment, announce that the development of the submarine gold mine has achieved results or something, it is nothing to transport twenty tons of gold at a time." β
Phoebe shook her head and said: "The industrial capital of Wall Street is already as greedy as Jewish capital to the point that it has no bottom line, don't forget, if we make public the news of seabed mining, Jewish capital will also come to us to ask for cooperation, even if we don't care." Therefore, industrial capital may think that it is better to control us completely, so that Jewish capital can die down and obtain greater profits, and if it is not good, it will also use the twenty tons of gold to set up Jewish capital. β
Barbara nodded and said, "Well, it's possible." Moreover, it is estimated that they also understand that these twenty tons are not the whole of our annual extraction. β
Phoebe suddenly asked, "When did the NSA start complaining that our methods were too drastic?"
"It's ...... Huh, you mean?"
"Well, it seems that so, the NSA is behind them. Barbara didn't finish, but Phoebe understood a lot.
"Then we're in even more trouble...... Barbara said with a frown.
"No, they have bigger stalls, and there are many ways to get them in trouble. Phoebe shook her head and said, "Barbara, do you know that young people are more impulsive than middle-aged people due to their hormones and brain development, and I'm not trying to make excuses for Wall Street people, but because they think I'm too young and a woman, so there will be some contempt and worry, do you think it's possible, or that we treat this statement as a step for them to go down?"
Barbara frowned and thought for a while, then nodded, "Well, maybe you can, but if you say it like that, I'm afraid they'll think we're backing down." β
"Well, forget it in the United States, let's do something in Europe, it's France, France has a large population of African Americans and Sylland, let our people do something over there, so as to clean up a block, well, there are too few people to deter enough, then two or three blocks. After that, the French regard this as a terrorist attack, or as an ethnic vendetta, it doesn't matter, anyway, they can't find us, and it's just right to remind Wall Street people. β
"It's a good idea, it's much easier to give a bloody example and then talk to them, then I'll arrange it. Barbara nodded, not in the slightest discomfort from the smell of blood in Phoebe's paintings, and even less wondering if Phoebe's speculation was wrong, what was going to happen in France was completely unnecessary.
Phoebe smiled and said, "Well, go ahead, go back to the dormitory with my sisters at night, you don't have to keep watching." The director is summoning us over, so I won't send you. β
Barbara smiled and nodded, turned and left, while Phoebe walked in the direction of the director and her sisters as usual......
