Chapter 156 celebrates Jenny's birthday

Nothing comes faster than Pentagon appropriations.

Catherine was convinced.

Loma was able to get hundreds of billions of dollars from the Pentagon without much difficulty.

Catherine's goal is not that high, in fact, the total amount of funds she gets now is only more than 100 million.

With the support of a huge financial flow, Catherine's plan to lay a real Yàn fiber optic cable has already begun.

Because it is only in a few universities in California on the West Coast, the amount of work is not large, and the network from the White House to the Pentagon is not difficult.

However, it may take some time for the network to access the Internet from Skynet, and this will only be possible after the military has completed the tests.

It wasn't too much of a hassle to sit down with the universities, after all, if history is not wrong, the first network was established in 1969. It's just that the "users" of Catherine's network are a little different from historical universities.

However, this did not affect Catherine's engineering.

This time, Catherine was personally involved in the battle, and it was not until March that it stopped.

In fact, Catherine doesn't plan to leave her project so soon, but there are some things she still has to do, and that is the 38th Academy Awards in April

Sitting on her bed, Catherine looked at the dresses in front of her, and for a moment she had no idea.

"Ada, what do you think I should wear?"

Ada, who came out of college, is by Catherine's side at the moment, because she is also going to the Oscars.

This time, the Oscars are mainly for "Red Alert", and as for "Flags of the Fathers", it will be next year.

"Actually, I think we should customize one now." Ida said.

"Didn't Lisa send you a costume, though? She got me a set too. ”

"Uh......"

At the mention of this issue, Catherine wilted, because the costume mentioned by Ida was cut by Lisa herself after hearing that Catherine was going to the Oscars, and then sent it.

"That dress is really...... Uh......"

In Catherine's opinion, the dress really couldn't be worn.

It was indeed a dress, but the upper body was exposed with this large back, and the chest was only covered by two pieces of cloth, and although there was a long skirt underneath, it was slit, and there was a pair of rootless ballet heels......

It's a Martian dress, right?

Catherine was incredible.

"Is it a matter of being formal to go to the Oscars?"

Catherine asked tentatively.

"Does it matter?"

Ada asked curiously.

"Hollywood has never been afraid of 'unique' looks, no matter what we wear, I believe, there is no problem"

Catherine sighed, it seems that this is indeed the case, Lisa's clothes like this have really appeared.

"How's the shoes?"

Ida pointed to the ballet heels.

Ballet heels are a popular thing these days, but they don't seem to be appropriate to wear to the Oscars.

And this thing...... In the history of the Oscars, there really is no ......

"Ada, how are you feeling at school?"

Ida heard Catherine's question, and then thought for a moment, "It's probably okay...... Although it feels different from when acting, it does have a high improvement in acting skills...... Well, although when I was in junior high school, I read the relevant textbooks. ”

Ida replied vaguely.

"But, Kate, don't you really want to act?"

"Me? No, no, no. ”

Catherine shook her head and waved her hands.

"Seriously, Kate, do you remember Blair the witch?"

Catherine nodded, this is a film shot by the big guys together.

"Kate, do you remember when you were there?"

"Actually, that film didn't require a lot of acting at all."

The main thing is all kinds of hype, and Catherine even changed part of the plot of "Harry Potter" for this.

But it is precisely because of the first pot of gold in "Blair the Witch" that Catherine developed.

"Maybe, but Kate, you were really into the drama at that time"

Can you still act?

"No kidding, Ada." Catherine smiled.

"I think it's good to make a cameo once in a while, but you asked me to shoot it...... Hehe...... Hehe. ”

Catherine chuckled dryly.

"By the way, Ada, what's wrong with your father?" Catherine asked.

"He's under the umbrella right now." Ida smiled, "Actually, he's coaching there right now. ”,

Catherine nodded, history has changed, the mercenary regiment has now arrived on the battlefield in Vietnam, and most of the employees recruited by Bruce are now over there, mainly responsible for logistics and transportation. Because of this, there is now a shortage of instructors in the United States.

"But there's one thing we can't forget, maybe she can give us some ideas."

Ida and Catherine looked at each other and smiled.

"Jenny's Birthday"

Jenny's birthday is more than ten days before the opening of the Oscars, so it seems more important to celebrate her birthday now than the Oscars.

"Where's Lily?"

Catherine asked again.

"She's in England right now, but unfortunately, she won't be able to make it."

This is a bit of a pity.

"But, Kate, you won't be left alone on your birthday," Ida laughed again, "even Lisa will be back."

Yes, June 1st is my birthday.

By now, Catherine is almost 18 years old.

At the age of 18, that is, adulthood.

"Maybe." Catherine glanced out the window.

"I thought, maybe we can go and get a gift for Jenny first?" A hint of cunning flashed in Catherine's eyes.

"That's a good idea," Ida said, but looked around again, "Where's Elsa?" ”

"She was revising, and anyway, she had already graduated from high school in the UK, so I persuaded Elsa to take the SAT."

Ida nodded.

Then the two got into the car and headed for Manhattan.

But it didn't take long for Catherine's car to stop for a simple reason: a demonstration.

"It's terrible, why is this happening at this time?" Ida grumbled.

But Catherine knew that 1965 was also the time when the first peak of the anti-war broke out.

"Miss, do we need to change routes?" Kane, the driver and bodyguard, asked.

Catherine shook her head.

"No, they're leaving, the detour is going farther, just wait."

"Everyone who shouts for tolerance is trying to pave the way for their own mistakes in the future. They have subconsciously put themselves in the position of abusers"

"Death penalty"

"By abolishing the death penalty, those who commit crimes are paving the way for their own future"

"We will never say yes"

“NO!NO!NO!”

Not an anti-war march?

Catherine listened to these propaganda slogans, and she couldn't help but look out the window.

Catherine was indeed embarrassed that this was a march on the death penalty.

However, Catherine remembers that it is true that there is a death penalty in New York State, and that there is no death penalty, it should be those places in California.

The episode passed quickly, the procession gradually departed, and Catherine's car moved smoothly.

Soon, they were in Manhattan.

"What do we think we should buy Jenny as a gift?"

"My gift is ready." Catherine didn't care.

"What is it?" Catherine asked.

"The Complete Harry Potter Works."

"The full Harry Potter series?" Ada's eyes lit up.

You know, there are still the last two parts of "Harry Potter" that have not yet been released, and Ida and they can be said to be fans of Catherine's books, but the release plan of the paper book publishing house still needs to wait for a long time, which is sometimes really itchy.

"Yes, an exclusive collection of editions, the only one in the world."

Catherine found it quite interesting.

I wonder if Jenny will be staring at her every day after she gets this book?

But seeing Ada's fiery eyes, Catherine felt that the answer should be "yes".

"Ah...... So what should I do? Mr. Horn? ”

After hearing this, Catherine secretly wiped a handful of sweat.

"Clothes? No...... I think Lisa will definitely send this. Ida looked a little distressed.

"Cake? No...... Even if Lily doesn't come, I'm afraid she'll order a cake that's at least two meters tall and send it to Jenny."

Looking at Lily's headache, Catherine really thought it was funny.

"Is it true that you want to send Mr. Horn? Or is it a motor machine? ”

"I think you'll give this away...... Jenny won't use it either. It's true. Catherine reminded.

"Kate, give me an idea"

Ida began to ask Catherine for help.

"How about a necklace?"

"Seems good...... But wouldn't this be a confession? Is it a ring? ”

Catherine rolled her eyes.

"Maybe it's a good idea to send a bracelet?"

bracelet, there will be no "ambiguity", this seems to be good, Ida also nodded.

Sometimes girls need not the precious gift, but a kind of friendship.

Catherine has been behind enemy lines for many years, and she sees this more clearly from a third-party perspective.

March passed quickly, and the time came to April.

Jenny is at Columbia University, which is in New York, so it's quite convenient for Jenny to come over.

For Catherine, Jenny is also the closest person to her own family, but unfortunately, Catherine doesn't spend too much time in New York, so the two don't spend too much time together, on the contrary, because Catherine is in California most of the time, she and Ida have a lot of opportunities to meet.

On April 8, 1966, it was a Friday, and Jenny would return to the villa in the evening after class, but in the meantime, Lily and Lisa's gifts had already arrived.

Lily's gift was indeed a huge cake, and Lisa's gift was indeed a set of clothes.

The cake had already been dismantled and placed on the third floor, and Lisa's clothes had to wait until Jenny came over before she could open them.

There is an update after the early hours of the morning, ask for tickets~
