Chapter 104: Returning with a full load

Because Anne is the daughter of the Duke of York and is only the seventh in line to the throne, her engagement to Liu Wei is not worth publicizing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Strictly speaking, the two were not engaged at all.

The reason is very simple, the queen looks down on Liu Wei a little.

For Liu Wei, this is a good thing. Although the freedom to marry has long been written into the law, in the conservative British royal family, unless Anne is disconnected from the royal family, she must obey the queen's arrangement. Like the royal families of other countries, the British royal family also needs to consolidate its position through marriage. It would be difficult for the royal family to benefit from marrying the princess to an Oriental who had little background and was too young.

Thankfully, Princess Anne didn't miss her appointment.

Under her activities, Prince Philip stepped forward to confer the title of Sir Liu Wei as the Duke of Edinburgh. Although it is not a knighthood granted by the British royal family, it is still a knight and is recognized by the British political axe. At the same time, he also received the title of Honorary Citizen of the United Kingdom.

This result has made Liu Wei feel very satisfied.

He spent only $200 million and met some rich people at auctions.

Before leaving the UK, Liu Wei received a call from Rogers, inviting him to Alabama for the annual party at the country club. Liu Wei agreed, but did not mention when it would pass. For entertainment in the business field, it doesn't make much sense whether you agree or not.

After getting the knighthood certificate, Liu Wei returned to the United States with Takeuchi Kotone and others.

Bao Liuqing didn't go along, she had to stay and deal with some things. According to Liu Wei's arrangement, she will wait until the gray-backed jackal completes the transformation and then return to Las Vegas together.

After the plane took off, Liu Wei called Yumi Hashimoto.

can make Yumi Hashimoto retract his heart and study seriously in school, Liu Wei has a wish. At least for half a year, there is no need to worry about this little girl.

Back in Las Vegas, Liu Wei called Zhou Fen over.

During his time in the UK, a lot happened in the United States, and a lot happened in Nevada and Las Vegas.

The investigation into Rickell's murder has been completed, and although the CIA, with the assistance of the FBI, has broken several spy networks within a few days, secretly arrested hundreds of spies, and found three moles, it has not obtained any clues related to Rickel's murder.

Aside from blind and aimless retaliation, the only thing the C.I.A. can do is step up security for key personnel.

In the course of the investigation, the C.I.A. made a windfall: clues that Rickel had found before he was killed.

According to the clues found by Ricker, the CIA spared South Korea and shifted the direction of investigation into the theft of the fighter jet to the mainland, basically determining that the mainland's intelligence agencies planned the incident.

Unfortunately, Rickel has clues, not evidence.

If they can't find Damuronggu, they can't prove that it was the mainland's intelligence agencies, so they can't take retaliatory action, let alone negotiate with the mainland through regular channels.

Unfortunately, none of the CIA's more than 100,000 employees can replace Rickel.

After Turner returned to Langley, the first thing he did was not to follow Ricker's clues, but to ask Taiwan's National Defense Security Bureau to provide information about Liu Wei and others.

In terms of ability, Turner is nowhere near as good as Rickel.

At that time, Li Tingxuan had already made arrangements to take Zhang Jinnan out if the CIA followed the clues that Ricker had mastered. Although doing so is tantamount to admitting that the mainland intelligence agency is related to the theft of the F-135-800 engine, the destruction of the FPF experimental base, and many incidents in the United States, after his identity is exposed, Zhang Jinnan will stay and wait for death, and it is better to take him out.

Knowing that Turner had contacted Zhang Jinnan directly, Li Tingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The way to deal with it was very simple, Zhang Jinnan handed over the information of Liu Wei and others to the CIA, and claimed that he hired Liu Wei to steal business intelligence.

Whether Turner believes it or not, it is impossible for him to find Liu Wei based on the information provided by Zhang Jinnan.

The reason is very simple, after accepting FOS's retransformation, Liu Wei's appearance has changed a lot, and the appearance of Mobei Wolf, Zhou Yulong and others has also changed.

The only thing to worry about is Dian Bin, and Li Tingxuan's arrangement is also very simple: let Dian Bin go for plastic surgery.

During this period, significant progress was made in the search for the missing F-22J fighters.

Based on clues provided by the two surviving pilots, the U.S. Coast Guard found the wreckage of ten F-22Js on the seabed in the eastern Pacific Ocean, as well as four black boxes, proving that the fighters were shot down by missiles and cannons. Although the F-22J that launched the attack has not yet been found, the U.S. military has ruled out the possibility that the fighter landed on land.

According to the report submitted by the North American Air Defense Command, the fighter could only fly 800 kilometers of fuel left before it withdrew from air combat, and the fall zone was 1.5 million square kilometers. It is almost impossible to find a downed fighter in such a vast sea area.

The search is still ongoing, it just takes time, and a lot of time.

After determining that the spy had done the work, the US authorities basically gave up hope of finding the fighter, because experienced spies would choose a sea area with a depth of more than 5,000 meters, and with modern technology, it would be impossible to find the wreckage of the fighter 5,000 meters below the surface of the sea.

Fortunately, Loma and the authorities purchased a high amount of insurance for these fighters.

Although the insurance company only agreed on the number of compensation for the 10 planes, and bore the cost of repairing the other one, and did not pay for the fighter that was not found, it was a large amount of compensation for the company, and after the Loma company got the insurance money, it could still deliver the second batch of 12 F-22Js in advance.

What happened in Nevada is also related to Liu Wei.

After Liu Wei pledged to provide huge funds for the Reno to Las Vegas expressway, Scott submitted a bill to the state legislature, asking for $2 billion to build the expressway, which would create 50,000 jobs in Nevada and carry two major cities and more than a dozen cities along the route.

The budget is not the main problem yet, after all, it will cost at least 10 billion dollars to build this road.

More importantly, the $2 billion that the state government will undertake is not a one-time allocation, but will be invested in installments over the next five years, which will not have much impact on the state's finances.

The biggest problem is the land on which the road is built: the road must pass through the state nature reserve.

As a result, the main opponents of the bill are environmentalists in the state legislature.

In the past, the bill would certainly not have passed. It's just that when the economy is in a serious recession and some people are willing to provide eighty percent of the funds free of charge, the result is completely different.

It was not the $8 billion promised by Mr. Liu that persuaded the state legislators, but 50,000 jobs.

For Nevada, which has a population of less than 3 million, 50,000 jobs means 10 percent, or about 300,000 people, are in need. Including the related industries driven by this, it will benefit 500,000 people in at least the next five to ten years.

No single MP can go against half a million people.

Even from a state finances, the significance of this project will be enormous. In his speech to the state legislature, Scott made it clear that by linking Nevada's two most important tourist cities, the vast majority of tourists can experience all the tourism in Nevada without going to Southern California or Arizona, generating hundreds of millions of dollars in additional revenue for the state treasury every year.

In the United States, managing a political axe is similar to managing a company, and no matter what you do, you need money.

To convince the environmentalists, Scott pledged to raise the environmental budget every year after the state has a surplus. According to him, only a good environment can attract more tourists, make tourists spend every penny happily, and make Nevada a tourist destination in the United States.

It was this commitment that led to the passage of the bill in the state legislature.

However, during the debate, environmentalists in the state legislature included clauses to increase environmental budgets and quantified them.

After the bill was passed, the land for road construction was naturally approved.

As the main investor in the highway, Liu Wei was invited to attend the groundbreaking ceremony. In addition to Scott, key officials of the state political axe, as well as key members of the state legislature, will be in attendance.

What happened in Las Vegas is also related to Liu Wei.

After getting the last few casinos, Zhou Fen set up three large gaming groups on the basis of twelve casinos according to Liu Wei's instructions. In order to bypass the "Antitrust Law" of the United States and the relevant laws of Nevada, the three gaming groups were placed under the names of Zhou Yulong, Mobei Wolf and Zhou Fen respectively.

Liu Wei didn't become the boss, anyway, he was the big boss behind the scenes.

In addition to casinos, the most important thing is that the drug trafficking network formed by Mobei Wolf has covered the entire state of Nevada, and has also expanded to Southern California and Arizona.

"He went to Santa Fe and will be back in two days."

"What are you doing in New Mexico?" Liu Wei asked. Santa Fe is the capital of New Mexico and the second most populous city in New Mexico.

"The Mexican gang over there toasted and didn't eat and drink, and the old wolf went over to deal with it himself."

"This kind of thing, just leave it to your subordinates in the future, there is no need to go out in person."

"That's for later, and now we have to let him go." Zhou Fen smiled and said, "After Harris is finished, the black gangs in the southwestern United States are leaderless, and the Mexican gangs take the opportunity to expand aggressively. Some time ago, we focused on Southern California and Arizona, not New Mexico. Old Wolf felt compelled to replace Harris as the largest supplier to the American Southwest, and he had to win New Mexico and Texas. ”

Liu Wei sighed and said, "How is the situation at the processing plant?" ”

"Everything is fine, Isaac is really an expert, not bragging. The other day, Hebling came back, went to the processing plant for a round, and went back yesterday. According to Dian Bin's arrangement, Isaac was in charge of all the things here, and Zhou Yulong arranged for a few of Batavia's subordinates brought back from Pakistan. ”

"How much did we sell?"

"Less than one-fifth of them have just started selling, and sales will not increase until customers get used to the new tastes."

Liu Wei nodded, even if it was only sold for one-fifth, it should be a large amount of income.
