It is not surprising that the president hosted a banquet at Camp David to entertain the two candidates. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

During the last election, George W. Bush met with Norris several times at the White House to discuss economic policy in order to maintain policy coherence. It was with Norris's approval that George W. Bush's proposed financial relief plan was passed, and half of the money for financial relief was retained for Norris to use when he took office.

Unlike then, Cronin invited two candidates before the dust settled.

Because the issues to be discussed are too sensitive, and if they are accidentally exposed, it will definitely be a big scandal, so this barbecue party is arranged very secretly, and there is only Sternberg on the invitation list, and the external publicity is that Cronin and Sternberg discuss the election together.

Scott rushed over after the party had started and was taken straight to Cronin's study.

The outside world does not know that a major decision that is about to determine the future of the United States is about to be made this night.

It's just that these things have not been hidden from Liu Wei.

Before Scott left for Camp David, he met Capua Jr., and then went to meet Cronin with a small recording device according to Liu Wei's arrangement.

The talks lasted only half an hour, and there was only one topic: whether the United States should take aim at North Korea.

Scott did not spend the night at Camp David, but took a special plane back to Nevada overnight, where he met Liu Wei and others, who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Cronin is very cunning." After Scott handed the recorder to Liu Wei, he said, "If I agree to his proposal, it will be equivalent to being led by the nose by the Mingzhu Party and continuing to move forward along the line set by the Mingzhu Party." For the people, instead of choosing a Republican president who follows the same path, it is better to let the Ming Cook Party remain in power. ”

After listening to Scott, Liu Wei shook his head with a smile and handed the recorder to the gray-backed jackal next to him.

"So, you didn't say yes?"

"Can you not say yes?" Scott walked over with a wine glass, "Such a big thing happened, hundreds of thousands of people died, and tens of trillions of social wealth turned into ashes, if we don't even know who the enemy is, the prestige of the federal political axe will be severely damaged, and the people will no longer believe in the political axe, and they will no longer have a sense of security, and as for those interest groups that are gearing up, they will not tolerate such a thing." ”

"There really needs to be an enemy, and an enemy with enough weight."

Scott smiled and said to Liu Wei: "So, you also think that the spearhead should be pointed at North Korea?" ”

"What's not to do?"

"Mr. Liu, if I'm not mistaken, you should be ......"

"I used to be from Hong Kong, but now I have a British passport, and I'm an honorary citizen of the United Kingdom, and I have a knighthood from Prince Philip." Liu Wei also smiled and said, "Fundamentally speaking, I am a businessman, and making money is my fundamental purpose. ”

"Does this make you money?"

"Of course, what do you think?" Liu Wei glanced at Scott and said, "I have already bought billions of dollars in shares of arms companies through Mr. Capua's investment company, and I plan to bet on commodities, especially crude oil futures. As long as the war is fought, and the scale is large enough, it can make a lot of money. ”

"Attacking Iran can still make you a lot of money."

"Iran?" Liu Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Excellency, you have to know that Iran is a relatively isolated country, and no major country has confronted the United States for Iran. It is undeniable that if the US military attacks Iran, oil prices will definitely rise to the sky. The market has reacted to this possibility, and international crude oil futures prices have risen by one hundred and five percent over the past month. As long as war breaks out, the price of crude oil may even rise above $400 per barrel. As long as I'm willing to spend money, there will definitely be huge gains. The problem is that this benefit is nothing compared to a large-scale war of attrition. As long as the US military attacks North Korea and the mainland intervenes, it will consume not only crude oil, but also various strategic materials. Similarly, the international trade order will be severely affected. As long as we seize the opportunity, the benefits we make from it will not be measured in monetary terms. ”

After listening to Liu Wei, Scott was silent for a long time before he said, "It seems that I have to take the initiative to contact Cronin." ”

"There's no need for that."

"Why?"

Liu Wei smiled and did not speak.

The gray-backed jackal put down the recorder and said, "Your Excellency, you are in a very bad situation right now. ”

Scott was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to the gray-backed jackal. He always thought that the gray-backed jackal was just Liu Wei's subordinate, so he didn't take him seriously.

"As you said at the beginning, Cronin is very cunning and leaves you with no choice. If you oppose the use of force, it is a sign of weakness and incompetence, and what the people need now is a tough leader, and you have been tough enough to win the support of the electorate. If you support the use of force, you'll hand over the initiative to the Minter Party, allowing Cronin to clear the way for Sternberg in the coming months. You're right, between a Republican president who is on the same path and a Myoke president who maintains policy coherence, voters will certainly support the latter. ”

"What should I do?"

The gray-backed jackal smiled and turned his gaze to Liu Wei.

Liu Wei nodded and asked him to continue.

Seeing this, Scott turned his gaze to the gray-backed jackal again, at least he already knew that the gray-backed jackal was not just Liu Wei's subordinate.

"At the moment, it seems that you don't have much room to maneuver." The gray-backed jackal paused slightly, "Supporting the idea of the Ming Cook Party is obviously self-defeating, and you can't explicitly oppose it. All you can do is continue to take a hard stance and not personally oppose all the decisions made by the Benjamin Party. But you have to do one thing well, and that is to continue to ask for the truth, and it is the truth that the Ming Cook Party cannot come up with. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think North Korea has what it takes to destroy Manhattan?"

"This ......"

"There is no doubt that this is not done by North Korea, nor by Iran, what Cronin did was to find a target for the United States, so as to unite all forces in the country, give the public an explanation, and make the public believe that the Ming Boiled Party and Government axe can lead the United States to overcome the challenge."

"And they do."

"Obviously, only the truth can keep Cronin shut up, and only the truth can make Cronin stop making a fuss about North Korea." The grayback jackal smiled and said, "It's just that you can't speak too thoroughly. You know, we're betting big on the next war, and the electorate needs a war. ”

"If that's the case, it's very difficult."

"That's true, after all, anger blinds the people, they will choose to ignore something, all they need is a clear goal, and Cronin has grasped the mentality of the people, so he is ready to come up with a goal to unite the people around the federal axe."

Scott nodded, looking a little sad.

"So, we've got to find a way to prove that Cronin is lying."

"Lying?" Scott was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "How to prove it?" ”

This time, the gray-backed jackal did not speak, but left the opportunity to speak to Liu Wei.

"I will use all my resources to provide you with some clues and evidence as best I can, and you only need to make it public at the right time to let the public know that the truth is not what the federal axe promotes. Of course, you also have to make full use of your Republican presidential nomination to win over Republican members of Congress and put pressure on the federal political axe through Congress so that Cronin can't do whatever he wants. ”

"What evidence and clues?"

"I don't know yet, after all, I don't know the truth of the matter, but we have enough reason to believe that it was definitely not North Korea or Iran that did it."

Scott nodded thoughtfully, he didn't believe that North Korea and Iran were so capable.

"In other aspects, you still have to maintain your own characteristics and often appear in the public eye, so that the public believes that you are a politician who is completely different from the current president, and give the public a hope and a little expectation, and make the public believe in your ability and courage even more."

"I know this, I'm going to Chicago tomorrow to attend a Republican rally."

"Need my help?"

"No, I've already arranged it."

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Let Kapuya go with you, if you need anything, you can ask it at any time, and I will try my best to help you." ”

Scott nodded and agreed, and Liu Wei didn't ramble anymore, called the gray-backed jackal, and left.

On the way back to Reno, Liu Wei and the gray-backed jackal were a little more relaxed.

"Lao Li is right, Cronin has targeted North Korea."

"Cronin did not make such a major decision alone, and he would not have taken this step without the support of interest groups."

The grayback jackal smiled and said, "According to you, we should reveal some inside information to Scott?" ”

"You arrange this, don't show too much, just convince Scott that there is a very big conspiracy behind the Manhattan attack. We don't have to worry about it, as long as the news is sent, Scott will use this to put pressure on Cronin to make the White House have some concerns in decision-making. After a few months, after the little devil did it, we took the next step to help Scott live in the White House. ”

"In this way, we will not let down the interest groups that have been waiting for war all night."

"War will definitely break out, it's just a matter of time."

The gray-backed jackal sighed and said, "If we really want to fight, we may not be able to gain much. ”

"It depends on when you fight." Liu Wei glanced at the gray-backed jackal and said, "As long as it can drag on for three or five years, even if we have a fight with the Yankees, the benefits we gain far outweigh the losses." Lao Li asked us to make trouble for the Yankees, it was definitely not his decision, but the upper echelons were already preparing for war. As long as we can buy time to complete the preparations, we can have the last laugh. ”

The gray-backed jackal nodded, not saying much.

"Remember, count the little devils in, otherwise it won't be convincing."

"Don't worry, I know how to arrange it."

After the gray-backed jackal agreed, Liu Wei didn't ask any more, this kind of espionage is the gray-backed jackal's specialty.
