Chapter 374: They Are Happy Now

Of course, the show time between Microsoft and Apple will also deceive ordinary people.

Even if Mac OS X can pose a certain threat to Windows, what about Mac OS X when it gets bigger?

Isn't that an American company?

Going around, you are still the one who monopolizes the market.

After taking off your pants, you should think about using your left hand or your right hand or both!

Therefore, after unconditionally approving the two acquisitions and removing Airbus from the investigation list of the American National Transportation Safety Board, the European Union also gave countermeasures - BAE, the British super defense giant and the world's third largest military supply company, announced that the multi-role fighter EF2000, jointly developed by the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain, will be tested within two years for electromagnetic system compatibility tests and air refueling tests, and is expected to be officially delivered within three years.

According to the latest Mach 1.6 test report in December '99, the performance of the EF2000 will surpass that of the F-15 produced by McDonnell Douglas, posing a serious threat to Boeing's military market share.

With the swing of this fist, Boeing also did not show weakness in releasing the news of the upgraded F-22 of the F-15 jointly developed with Lockheed Martin, saying that this stealth fighter, which has been studied for more than ten years, will be put into service within five years.

Although the vast majority of countries in the world advocate stopping the arms race and striving for comprehensive and complete disarmament to ensure world peace, who will listen to your truth when there is no range?

Therefore, as long as there is competition, the arms race cannot be stopped.

Because the prosperity of the economy and industry is all built on the fist.

Just like TikTok, Dongfeng-26B and Dongfeng-21D shot at one shot, and if they don't sell, they won't sell!

Follow your F-22 with a commercial satellite, and the current agreement between TikTok and Oracle says that if it is not approved, it will not be approved!

However, this kind of fist-to-flesh confrontation is no longer something that someone can directly intervene in, Roland just listens to it as something that will definitely happen, and after listening to it, go on vacation, as usual.

But just as he and his family were watching the major Olympic events in Sydney, bad news followed one after another from the day of the opening ceremony, starting with the flooding of Kate's hometown of Portsmouth in Hampshire, England, on September 15, with as much as 2.3 inches (58 millimeters) of rain falling in four and a half hours.

Sudden flooding caused a breakdown at the Eastnj pumping station, and shortly after the accident, the torrential rain spread southeastward, reaching 2.5 inches (65 millimetres) of rain in Havante, Hampshire, that night.

If that's all there is to it, it is okay, because although Hampshire and Berkshire, where Kate's home is located, are connected, the rain areas of Portsmouth and Havant are still some distance from Reading, but when the Met Office issued an alert that the last 24 months of rain in the past 24 months except for the north of Scotland had been above normal, September this year was the wettest month since 81 years, and it was expected to receive more rain than all September since records began in 1727.

Roland, he felt that something was wrong.

"Why don't you take your family out first?" At the hotel, Roland proposes to Kate.

"Why?"

Kate was a little puzzled, "Are you afraid that the rainstorm will affect their travel?" But the Meteorological Observatory did not issue a rainstorm warning! ”

"Isn't the suggestion that more rain is expected than in all the months of September since records began in 1727 a warning of this?"

Roland revealed his concerns, "Maybe the coverage area is too large, and it is directly stated for fear of causing panic, so he used a gentle way to convey this news to the people?" After all, if there were heavy rains outside of northern Scotland, there would be nowhere to run even if the warning was issued. ”

Before the change, Roland may still believe the British authorities, but after the magic style comes out, Roland can't be blamed for looking at each of their announcements with colored glasses, and when the official has indicated that the rainfall is likely to continue to increase in the future, taking Kate's family out of the UK has become what Roland wants to do the most.

Because he didn't want to see it, when the wedding was held, the woman's parents could not attend for some reason.

I don't want to see that because the woman's parents can't attend, the wedding may be postponed.

As soon as Roland said this, Kate also felt that she couldn't let the weather ruin her wedding, so she wanted to calculate the jet lag and call her family out of England first, however, before she could act, Roland instructed again: "By the way, don't call them to Sydney." ”

"Why?" Kate, who was doing subtraction with her fingers, asked.

"Because your previous explanation to your family was 'watching the Olympics with my family', since you didn't invite your parents to Sydney from the beginning, then suddenly calling them over for the reason of refuge, isn't there a kind of meaning that you should have been invited before, but forgot, so now you are looking for a lame reason to make up for your mistakes?"

Roland spread his hands and said, "Then don't they look like substitutes?" ”

"What would your parents think?"

"What would your family think?"

Kate was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, a happy smile also rose.

"Oh~ Roland! My parents wouldn't care about such a trivial matter! ”

"My family wouldn't take this kind of thing to heart!"

"But I will!" Roland looked at Kate with a sincere face and said, "Otherwise, don't call them out for the reason of refuge, and directly invite them to Los Angeles on the grounds that you want to arrange a wedding with them in the last half month." ”

"What about this side?" Kate thinks this kind of rhetoric is okay, but is the Olson family just hanging?

"They'll tell the truth here, after your family comes out, I'll go back to Los Angeles with you to receive them, don't worry, David, Ganetti, Ashley, Mary, and Lizzie will understand, ah no, they're used to it......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm used to running around a lot. Roland winked at Kate, making a comical look on his face.

"Hahaha~" The honest words and teasing movements made Kate laugh loudly, and after a few pats on her man's thighs, she also opened her arms and hugged each other, "Thank you...... Thank you for considering my parents' feelings......"

"Don't be like this, don't be like this, you should think so, in order to trick you, that's why I put the sense of ritual in place! And when I get it, then you'll just fiddle with me! Roland continued to joke.

"Shh Kate raised her head and gave Roland a blank look, "Aren't I still fiddling with you?" ”

"Really? Why don't I feel it? Roland's eyebrows were upside down, and he looked surprised.

"How can you feel if you don't try?"

"Can I try it now?"

"Humph! Don't give! ”

"Oh! Is this something you can say you can't give if you don't give it? No matter what happens today, you're going to have to make a villain with me! ”

"Ahh You let go of me! Didn't you say after the wedding? So as not to get out of shape! ”

"Anyway, it's only been half a month, and I can't go anywhere!"

Roland asked Kate to call her family out first, just to prevent accidents, but no one expected that when Winslet's family was welcomed to California by her enthusiastic son-in-law, something really happened in England.

On 20 September, a tropical wave poured into the Pacific Ocean from the west coast of Africa, and on 21 September, the National Hurricane Center of America issued a storm warning, and on 22 September, the tropical storm officially formed.

By the 23rd, the storm was marked as a Category 2 hurricane, and on the evening of the 25th, they were marked as 'Isaac' by the America National Hurricane Centre, and by the 28th, both the British Met Office and the Amerika National Hurricane Centre confirmed that Isaac would turn into an extratropical cyclone and land in the British Isles halfway through Newfoundland and the Azores, and at the same time, merge with the extratropical lows of the northern Scotland track, and then ......

Explode.

According to the forecast of the Met Office, the sudden meteorological disaster will hit the UK by severe storms, and the resulting flooding could cause devastating damage to more than 10,000 houses in 27 regions, with losses of more than one billion.

While listing warning areas and evacuation areas, the British authorities also advised all citizens not to travel when disaster strikes, and Worcestershire, Shropshire, East Sussex, and Yorkshire, which will be directly hit by storms, have posted notices of the closure of main roads and bridges, in addition, all major airports in the United Kingdom have also canceled all flights.

It is expected that the official resumption time will be in mid-October.

"Wow, if Roland hadn't called us out, then I'm afraid we would have to watch you in England now."

Kate's mother, Sally Anne, was very happy.

"Good luck, this time it's really good luck, our Meteorological Bureau issued a disaster warning in advance." Kate's father, Roger Winslet, sighed: "However, although it is lucky, without Roland's reminder, I don't think we would have cared ourselves." ”

Hearing such words, Kate laughed stupidly.

Who doesn't want their favorite guy to be recognized by their parents?

Although Roland has accompanied her home several times, it is never too much to praise this kind of thing.

Not only that, but she also said to her parents in a show-off tone: "Eh~Little things~Little things~"

"It's a small thing for Roland."

"When he is free, he likes to watch the news of various countries."

"Today, Sweden's arms and equipment dealers were bought by America's United Defense, tomorrow there will be a scandal in Catholicism, and the day after tomorrow there will be a natural disaster, anyway, I won't do business."

"He still talks about 'I'm retired' every day, which is really a headache."

Although Kate belittled Roland as useless, how could her parents not hear the joy in their daughter's mouth?

"You! It hasn't changed in years! Sally-Anne smiled and shook her head, "When you were a child, when your father and I didn't let you go on the path of an actor, you kept saying that you would be obedient, but in the end?" Find your grandmother directly to sponsor you! Over the years, have you said less counter-talking? And now, the more you talk about Roland's shortcomings, the more you like him, right? ”

"Hey, hey, hey~"

Although her careful thoughts were debunked by her mother, Kate was not annoyed, but directly threw herself into the other party's arms and said coquettishly: "Mom! ”

In doing so, Sally-Anne happily patted her daughter on the back.

With her movements, mixed with lost happiness, it gradually appeared.

Although Kate became an actress, she didn't go home much, got together less and left more, so that they were used to the lack of time with their third daughter, but when her daughter decided to get married, the emotions that were difficult to give up would still come to her heart.

After all, when Kate took her husband's last name, she was no longer from the Winslet family.

The thought of this made Sally-Anne's nose a little sour.

"Okay, okay, my daughter has found the guy she likes and likes herself, isn't it a good thing?" Seeing that his mother-in-law was about to cry, Roger Winslet took the initiative to interject, muddy the other party's emotions, and pulled the festivities back, "By the way, shouldn't we go to Kauai again on October 5th?" When I got a call from you and told me that you were going to take the wedding on Kauai, I wanted to go to the Jurassic Park filming location! ”

That's right, when Roland told the wedding planner that he wanted to get married on an island like Bill Gates and seek as much privacy as possible, they racked their brains and chose Kauai, Hawaii.

The reason is actually very simple:

One is that the Hawaiian Islands are perfect for intimate weddings, and Bill Gates got married on Lanai; Second, Kauai is the oldest island in the Hawaiian archipelago and is known as the Garden of Eden in reality; In addition, when filming "Jurassic Park" before, Roland and the crew came here to shoot and knew that the scenery here was indeed beautiful, so he agreed.

SINCE MID-SEPTEMBER, ALL THE HOTELS ON THE ISLAND HAVE BEEN CHARTERED AND INJECTED WITH SECURITY, AND AT THE SAME TIME, ISLAND AIR, WHICH FLIES FROM HONOLULU TO KAUAI, HAS ALSO ANNOUNCED A SUSPENSION OF SAILINGS UNTIL OCTOBER 10, IN THIS CASE, LET ALONE LANDING ON THE ISLAND EARLY, NO ONE WILL CARE ABOUT YOU EVEN IF YOU FEEL THE BEAUTY OF ADAM AND EVE IN THIS REAL GARDEN OF EDEN.

Because of this, when Roland learned that his father-in-law wanted to take advantage of the rest time to go to play, it became a matter of course to ask Steven Spielberg to borrow a plane and go directly!

In private, he can bully Kate as much as he wants, but in front of the other party's parents, of course, he has to give enough face!

After the group landed on Kauai, Roland, who had been here, acted as a guide and took Kate and her family on a tour of the island, taking a helicopter tour around the island, going to the Waemia Canyon to check in, and strolling in the fern cave are all basic, and the real fun is to buy agricultural products from local residents and cook them themselves.

When Roland brought the coconut chicken soup to the table, the refreshing consommΓ© full of coconut fragrance made Roger Winslet's eyes shine.

"Do you know how to cook? Why haven't I heard this from you before? ”

"Because she's the only one who eats." Roland happily pointed to the pig who was baking small cakes for everyone in the kitchen.

"Oh? Is that so? Roger Winslet nodded knowingly.

Without saying anything, he patted his future son-in-law's shoulder with a happy face, "I wish you happiness." ”

However, before his words could fall, Sally-Anne, who had tasted the coconut chicken soup, glared at her husband dissatisfied.

"What are you talking about?"

"They are happy now!"

Such words made everyone at the scene stunned.

In the next second, happy laughter resounded in the sky.

"Hahaha~"
