Chapter 252 of the main text volume, Congress

Next chapter

Smith, who was walking on the street >, glanced at Hou Wenjun, who was following him, and said, "First time in the United States?" ”

Hou Wenjun rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "My file, you should know it very well." You don't have to play any tricks with me, you and I can only cooperate on an equal footing, otherwise we will break up in two. ”

Smith, who was exposed by Hou Wenjun, didn't feel embarrassed, and still looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "You know that I am a member of the Nevada Congress, and you should also know what Nevada is most famous for." ”

Hou Wenjun looked down on the pretending person the most, and said with a slap in the face on the spot, "I will force the Macau government to issue three gambling cards, as for whether the ** tycoons in Las Vegas can win the third gambling card, that is their own business." After speaking, Hou Wenjun paused and said, "I'll tell you again, don't play children's tricks with me, it will only hurt you and make you look very naïve." ”

Smith shrugged his shoulders, looked at Hou Wenjun with a calm face, and said, "Okay, I think your statement will definitely be in line with the interests of the American people." ”

Hou Wenjun shook his head, looked at Smith beside him, and said, "Tomorrow we will finish this hearing and complete the transaction between our two sides." Seriously, I don't really like you. You're not a qualified politician, and I think you'll need to find other partners. After saying that, Hou Wenjun also understood Smith's reaction, and walked directly across the street.

Smith looked at Hou Wenjun's back, and a sunny smile appeared on his face again, he liked Hou Wenjun, a guy from Asia. With money, status, and brains, this is an ideal partner, at least better than those Middle Easterners who spend their days thinking about war.

Hou Wenjun, who returned to the hotel, fell asleep early, and he was very tired from nearly 20 hours of traveling, and he had to fight with Smith and Adams at night, which he really couldn't bear. Now he began to understand why the hard-working and great people died very young, exhausted.

It's good to be young. After a night of high-quality sleep, Hou Wenjun regained his spirit early the next morning.

Hou Wenjun, who was sitting in the hotel room eating breakfast and drinking milk, read the newspaper and said to Wang Lei next to him, "Yesterday, I asked you to help me check the matter." Did you find it? ”

Wang Lei, who was sitting opposite Hou Wenjun and was also eating breakfast, nodded immediately when he heard this, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and said, "It's done." This is the text given by the other party. As he spoke, he took out a copy of the document from the briefcase beside him and handed it to Hou Wenjun.

Hou Wenjun took Wen Jiàn and put it aside directly, continued to eat breakfast, looked at the newspaper and said, "You can probably tell me about it." ”

Hearing this, Wang Lei put down the knife and fork in his hand, and after organizing his words, he said: "Smith's biggest rival in Congress and within the Republican Party is Congressman Francis Underwood of South Carolina, both of whom are youth factions within the Republican Party. From the moment the two entered the Congress, no matter what the two did, someone wanted to compare the two of them. Gradually, the two had a knot and even a conflict, but Smith, who had the support of the Las Vegas gambling group behind him, had to press Underwood in all aspects. ”

Hearing this, Hou Wenjun put down the knife and fork in his hand, and involuntarily nodded, "Indeed." South Carolina is not a rich place. As he spoke, he looked at the text in his hand and whispered, "You continue." ”

Wang Lei glanced at Hou Wenjun, who was looking at Wen Jiàn intently, cleared his throat and said, "However, within the Congress, Underwood relied on his own ability to gain a firm foothold in Smith's suppression. The biggest political conflict between the two is that the Republican whip is about to retire, and the two are the two most likely candidates to take over the post. ”

Hou Wenjun nodded again and said, "Okay, I know about this matter." Tell me about aircraft carriers. ”

Wang Lei shook his head helplessly and said, "I contacted the president of the other company yesterday, and they agreed to reimburse the aircraft carrier contract, and no one should be stuck with you in this regard." As for the aircraft carrier itself, since the U.S. government spends $100,000 a year on the most basic maintenance, the ship is generally very dilapidated from the outside. However, according to the staff of the barge terminal, the diesel-powered aircraft carrier can still operate after being filled with diesel. ”

Hou Wenjun finally showed a happy smile on his face when he heard this, as long as he could run. At present, Hou Wenjun's idea is very simple, which is to transform this aircraft carrier into a helicopter carrier. Then give either Vietnam or the Philippines enough incentive to compete with China for control of the South China Sea, so that the Chinese government will have to rely more on itself, or it will not and does not need to move itself casually.

After listening to Wang Lei's report, Hou Wenjun put down the text in his hand and thought about it before continuing: "You find a public relations company to help contact Underwood." ”

Wang Lei looked at Hou Wenjun with some surprise when he heard this, and said, "You are not with Smith."

Although Wang Lei's words were not finished, Hou Wenjun knew the meaning of the words, and immediately waved his hand and said, "I will never be able to stand in the same trench with him." "It's not about personal preference, behind Smith is the Las Vegas gambling syndicate. And they are also competing for a third gambling card, once the other enters Macau. Then it is impossible for Hou Wenjun, who is also in Macau, not to have a conflict of interest with the other party, Hou Wenjun is not arrogant to the point that Smith will definitely help him.

After speaking, Hou Wenjun didn't care whether Wang Lei knew the meaning of his words. He stood up and began to tidy up his clothes. He's ready to go to today's hearing.

In the Capitol Hill, Washington

"Mr. Hou Wenjun, I would like to ask you, what is your Thai government's aircraft carrier going to be used for?"

Hou Wenjun, who was sitting in a small conference room in the Capitol Hill Building, looked at the glasses sitting opposite him with a smile and said, "The main purpose of buying this abandoned aircraft carrier is to visit the exhibition." ”

Smith, who was sitting in the main seat, heard Hou Wenjun's answer, and while he was taking notes, he looked up at Hou Wenjun and continued: "If it is used for exhibition, I think there is no need to leave the weapon system and radar system on the aircraft carrier." Consignment of an empty ship back to Thailand, I think you can also accept it. ”

Hou Wenjun nodded when he heard this, and said, "Yes, I accept your suggestion." ”

Gordon glanced at Smith who asked the question, knocked lightly on the table, and said in a voice that only three people could hear, "It will cost at least a million dollars to dismantle the weapons and radar systems, is this money from Congress?" Anyway, our military will not bear it. ”

Zhongfen glanced at Smith and said, "Colonel Gordon is right, he will give him these old-fashioned goods, can he still use World War II warships to fight today's warships?" And everyone knows what an aircraft carrier is without fighters? Large container ships? ”

Smith thought for a moment and said, "Okay, my weapon system and radar system are considered that you need to drive back to Thailand, and we agree not to dismantle them." ”

Hou Wenjun shrugged his shoulders indifferently, he knew that this hearing was basically over. The next thing is the time when he went to the Pentagon to have a meeting with the military, and if he did not convince the United States, the aircraft carrier was probably sunk by a plane that flew from nowhere before it could be delivered to the customer. (To be continued.) )
