Chapter 395: Decline
?
"Tell me, what's going on this time?" Kerry asked a little weakly, what else could be more serious at this time than the whole family encountering such trouble, so Kerry didn't care too much, just asked very casually.
"Old, sir, something really happened this time...... "The housekeeper 'touched' the sweat on his forehead and said in fear.
"What the hell, what's more important than the family encountering such trouble?" Kerry yelled impatiently, how could the housekeeper, who had always been 'shrewd' and capable, be like this today, which made Kerry feel that none of the members of the family had encountered any difficulties, and he no longer had the calm demeanor of the Roosevelt family.
"Master, yes, yes, it's the people of the family who haven't come back who have had an accident, he, they were all killed outside." The butler's face was pale, wiping the sweat on his forehead as he spoke, this matter was really a bit serious for him, although Kerry had already indicated that those who did not come back would be expelled from the family, but the butler only thought that it was Kerry's momentary anger, and he would definitely not really do that, but now that those people have a problem, how can he, as the housekeeper of the Roosevelt family, not report such a situation as the head of the family.
"What, you, what you say is true?" Kerry didn't believe that anyone dared to touch their Roosevelt family, although he did say that he had just said that he would expel them from the family, but after all, it was just angry talk, and it was not announced to the public, and at this time, someone did something to those people, which was tantamount to making Kerry feel that someone had slapped him in the face.
"Everything is true, sir, the person sent by the police department to inform us is outside......"
"Pop ......" The sound of broken porcelain, Kerry smashed the teacup in his hand again, and his face became more 'gloomy', who is it, who is doing it to us Roosevelt, is it really the Bush family?
"What did the cops say?" Kerry tried to calm his emotions, he knew that as the head of the family, he must be calm at this time, only by being calm can he deal with everything that happens, if he is 'messy', then the entire Roosevelt family must also be 'messy', and it will be impossible to get through this crisis.
"Those policemen said that today they were originally investigating the attack on the network, so the number of patrols decreased a lot, but not long ago, the police department suddenly received a call, saying that people were killed in different places, so they rushed to the scene as soon as possible, after investigation, they found that all the people killed were members of our Roosevelt family, whether it was a family branch or a bodyguard, none of them lived, and the people of the police department after investigation, thought that this was a terrorist attack by a professional killer against our Roosevelt family......"
"Professional killers? Terrorist attack? Haha, how is it possible, how can there be such an organization in Mimei Country, if there were, I am afraid it would have been wiped out by the army a long time ago, those policemen said this, just because they were incompetent, and they were afraid that they would not be able to 'deliver' to our Roosevelt family, so they pushed it to that terrorist organization. Hmph, what else did those incompetent cops say? Kerry, who was smiling angrily, had a hint of cruelty in his eyes, but his tone was still calm and asked the butler.
"Those policemen also said to tell the rest of our family to be careful, since the other party is a professional killer, it is likely that he will also attack the rest of our family, so let's take protective measures, and they ......"
"What's wrong with them?"
"They said that they don't have enough people in the police station right now, so they can't send someone to help us, and they hope that we can find someone to take care of the family residence and ......the company ourselves," the butler said, carefully watching Kerry's face, afraid of angering the family owner again.
"There are not enough manpower, they can't send people to help us, it's all, they want to get the news, but no one has come to ask about the situation until now, and the police chief has only been out of here for a long time, those policemen dare to say that, obviously they have received instructions from other families, hum, don't think I don't know, they just want to take the opportunity to 'mess' down our Roosevelt family, so that they can get more resources from Mimei Country, I won't let them get their way, don't forget that we also have our own hole cards." Butler, inform our people in the military around Washington, and ask them to send someone to guard our family station, I don't believe that the killer organization dares to fight against the Mimei ** side......"
"Yes, sir." The housekeeper doesn't care whether Kerry's order is beneficial to the family at this time, after all, the Roosevelt family has reached this time, and if they continue to endure it, they will only be suppressed more vigorously, and besides, now the Roosevelt family is basically here, if this place is attacked, then the entire Roosevelt family will really be abolished, and now the only thing that can safely protect them is probably the army.
Looking at the stock market that has closed, Kerry sighed, the whole person seems to have aged a lot in an instant, although these companies are not dominant in the Roosevelt family, but these companies add up to a lot of money, and now the stock prices of these things have been suppressed to the minimum, and tomorrow morning it is likely that these companies will change hands, Kerry said that it is impossible not to feel distressed, after all, these are the family's hundreds of years of foundation, and they can't let them boast about it in their own hands, absolutely not, if it really doesn't work, it's only... …
Just when Kerry was thinking about something, the housekeeper came back, looking at the butler's pale face and the constantly trembling body, Kerry felt that something might have happened again, his whole body trembled unconsciously, and he tried to hold on to the armrest of the sofa, and slowly stood up: "Butler, is it ......" Kerry's voice was a little hoarse at the moment, more old, much worse than the previous strength and strength.
"Master...... "The butler 'revealed' an expression that was more ugly than crying." Say, I can afford it. ”
"Master, all the people in the military have been arrested."
"What, how is that possible?"
"It's true, sir, it was Mr. President's personal order, and Mr. President also ordered all soldiers around Washington to be forbidden to leave the barracks, and to be arrested directly once discovered."
"What, Aubush, Aubush's order?" Kerry suddenly understood something, it turned out that it was really Aubush who did it to his own family, but why did he only do it to his own family, while the other families did not suffer any blows, could it be that they have formed an alliance with Aubush...... Thinking of this, Kerry couldn't hold back the blood that kept surging in his heart, a mouthful of blood spurted out directly, and the whole person fell to the sofa behind him.
"Grandpa......" and "...... the head of the family" kept resounding in the Roosevelt family chamber, but Kerry felt that these were getting farther and farther away from him, and his eyes were getting darker and darker......
Three days later, when Kerry woke up again, he was sitting next to his beloved grandson, Brie, who was also haggard and stubble-covered at this time, and there was no one else in this room except for a butler who had been with him for decades. Seeing Kerry wake up, Brie hurriedly came up, stared at Kerry and said, "Grandpa, you're finally awake, great, butler, go and call a doctor." ”
"Okay, little master, I'll call the doctor right away......"
"Brie, my good grandson, where is this?"
"Grandpa, this is the ...... of the hospital"
"Hospital? How did I end up here, oh, I remembered...... Brie, my grandson, how is the situation of the family, have you repelled the unknown attack, have you recovered the family's losses, and the rest of the family, why are you two ...... here" Kerry wanted to ask, but he found that Brie was dodging his eyes, as if he was deliberately avoiding himself, which made Kerry have a sense of foreboding, he tried to lift his body, but this body seemed not to be his own, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't move half a minute.
Seeing Kerry so 'excited', Brie tried to comfort him, but it didn't have any effect, but it made Kerry even more 'agitated', I Seeing this, Brie knew that it was useless to hide it any longer, anyway, Kerry would know sooner or later, but I don't know if the old man can withstand this blow.
"Grandpa, the Roosevelt family is finished, everything is finished, after you passed out three days ago, ......"
After Kerry fainted, the Roosevelt family was in a mess, and the first thing they thought about was to send Kerry to the hospital immediately, originally they also had a family doctor, but Kerry's situation this time was too serious, the family doctor could not do anything alone, so he had to be sent to the hospital, and out of the 'door' of the Roosevelt family's residence, the first car to open the way for the convoy was hit by an unknown force and exploded, and this sudden attack made the Roosevelt family panic. Chao's escape, and those people's bodyguards were all killed by the opposing snipers at the first time, when they thought that the Roosevelt family was no longer capable of resisting, the three men in black came to the Roosevelt family.
The three men in black did not bring any weapons, but only brought a lot of documents, the content of these documents is also very simple, the company's transfer contracts, when they saw these contracts, the Roosevelt family was furious, these contracts involved are all companies controlled by the Roosevelt family, and they are all companies whose stock prices were suppressed in this unknown attack, seeing these contracts, the Roosevelt family of course understood that these people in front of them were the unknown forces, and they were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to fight with these three people, However, before they could get closer, the sniper broke the 'leg' bone, which made the Roosevelt family no longer dare to act rashly, and they all hoped that the police department would find out about the situation as soon as possible so that they could rescue them.
It's just that no matter how they waited, the people from the police station who had been called by them never came, and the men in black didn't make a decision immediately before them, agreeing to give them two days of reprie, but they could only stay in this station, and they couldn't go, let alone send their head Kerry to the hospital.
In the next day, the Roosevelt family knew what fear, hunger, and helplessness were, because the water and electricity communications of the entire Roosevelt family station were cut off, and they could not get any contact with the outside world, let alone food, because the number of people who had been left behind in the family was limited, and many people here usually did not come, so the food originally prepared was also very limited. They can only starve.
Hunger may not be nothing, but because there is no electricity, the boundless darkness has put a lot of pressure on the entire Roosevelt family, although a few or even a dozen of them will stay together, but they can't see each other, which makes these pampered young masters and young ladies are heartbroken, so a large part of them can't bear the pressure, and they have asked to sign an agreement with each other, in their opinion, this is just to live by themselves, as for the interests of the family or the family, it is none of their business, and now the loss is the loss point, It's okay to earn it back later.
And Brie, as the direct line of the Roosevelt family and has been selected as the successor of Kerry, also took the initiative to stand up at this time and was willing to sign a transfer agreement with the other party, he was not afraid of hunger and fear, but he knew that his grandfather Kerry needed treatment, so he had to sign this agreement.
Unfortunately, things were not as rosy as the Roosevelt family thought, the first day they lost control of the family's subordinate company, and the next day the political agency of Mimei Kingdom came to inquire about the Roosevelt family, and began to investigate the source of funds of the Roosevelt family in the bank, and thought that there was a big problem, and said that they would freeze the Roosevelt family's property in Mimei country, so that the Roosevelt family was tantamount to adding insult to injury, although they knew that it was deliberately instigated, but they could not produce evidence; The matter did not end there, as soon as the people from the Economic Investigation Bureau left, the people from the Mimei Mineral Agency came again, making it clear that the state would take back the Roosevelt family's right to operate 'non-metal' metals, because this strategic material could only be controlled by the state, and the compensation to the Roosevelt family was only invested by the Roosevelt family. One-fifth of the amount on the metal, of course, the Roosevelt family could not compromise on this, and wanted to talk about it, but no institution was willing to accept their lawsuit, and the mineral agency also said at this time that if the Roosevelt family did not need these compensations, then they would no longer pay compensation, but the management rights of the "non-colored" metals must be recovered, and under various pressures, Brie had to sign.
Hearing what Brie said, Kerry, who had just woken up, was like a lightning strike, and no matter how Brie screamed, Kerry didn't react until the doctor arrived to take Brie out.
The presidential palace of Mimei country, looking at the heads of several largest families in Mimei country in front of him, Aubush has been smiling from his heart to his face, these people came here early this morning, the expression on their faces was full of contempt for Aubush at first, to disbelief, to shock, and finally converted into flattery, this transformation Aubush saw it in his eyes, the Roosevelt family fell in just a few days, and they also knew that this was Aubush's means, although in these three families, The Morgan and Rockefeller families are not much stronger than the Roosevelt family, and they control the two political parties in Mime, but they are powerless against Aubush at this time, they are not afraid of Aubush and his family, but they are afraid of the means behind Aubush that make them feel powerless, and the people who use these means to the extreme, and finally they chose to give in and are willing to obey all the commands of Aubush, which Aubush did not expect.
And for No. 1, things have been quite simple in the past few days, he thinks that he has lived up to the young master's expectations of himself and completed the young master' The task of handing over the generation, but he also has an eye on Aubush, after all, a person who can control a country, the ambition in his heart may not laugh, no, after Aubush sent away the heads of several other families, he began to win over No. 1, although this kind of co-optation is more obscure, but No. 1 is a highly intelligent biochemical robot, and its computing power can not be underestimated, so he can vaguely guess what Aubush thinks in his heart, in order to prevent Aubush from causing unnecessary trouble to his young master in the future, No. 1 decided to stay with Aubush to see how he will choose。
Of course, Aubush will not know what No. 1 thinks, in his opinion, the Chinese people are easy to buy, as long as they promise enough benefits, anyone can betray, even if it is a talent cultivated by the country's 'elite'.
Srroth, Van Erkov doesn't know what's going on this day, always frowning, no matter who comes to report to him, he is quickly sending others away, and these days Srross can be said to be facing the biggest economic crisis since their founding, many things that originally needed to be imported, now they can't be found in the market, and when the officials of their Ministry of Economy go to other countries to seek purchases, they get cold eyes from the other party, or more directly are told that these things in their own country are also lacking, For the time being, it cannot be exported to Srroth, and when Srroth's officials checked the markets of these countries, they found that these things could be said to be piled up in their countries, but they just wouldn't sell them to you, what can you do, but these officials have no choice but to return to Vangelkov to complain.
And Van Erkov has no choice at the moment, after all, he was the first to cut off the energy supply to them, and now he wants to let others provide you with things, which is impossible to think about, but many of these things are necessary for Srroth, such as cotton. Flowers', there are also some light industrial manufactured goods, although these things are also available in Srroth, but that point is not enough for their own people to use, can only be imported from abroad, now, the other side refuses to want Srroth to export, and Virkov has no choice, but he firmly believes that these countries will give in sooner or later, just depending on the length of time.
"Mr. President, what should we do now, if we continue like this, I am afraid that these goods in the country will be in short supply, and China has also closed the border 'trade' line, we ......," Srroth's economy minister, Chekovsky, said with a sad face to Van Erkov, who was walking back and forth.
"What to do, what to do, you don't just know what to do, if you want me as the president to do everything, then what do you want you to do as the minister of economy."
