American TV series

According to the news Sean received, the Subic military base is now in chaos, there are meetings in the Gujiao Building overnight, and the Pacific Command has urgently sent people to Manila.

Even the Umbrella side received an order from the Foot Covering Building to prepare to help the people evacuated from the Subic military base.

The specific amount has not been determined, it all depends on how much help is needed in the future.

Therefore, Sean was not in a hurry to go to the Foot Covering Building to lobby, and waited for them to get through this difficulty.

He has been paying attention to the aftermath of the volcanic eruption. After all, it was himself... Neil was the first person in the world to actively detonate a volcano.

Neil is so fucking bad!

Crazy!

Tsk tsk...

…

As time goes by, various news continues to arrive.

As of two days later, volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Pinatubo had risen to an altitude of 40,000 meters.

Within the surrounding area of ​​4,000 square kilometers, the average falling volcanic ash is as high as 50mm, and the thickness of volcanic ash in some areas is as high as 200mm. Buildings, vehicles, and trees are covered, just like the northern hemisphere after a heavy snowstorm.

The difference is that volcanic ash is much heavier than snow.

Currently, the volcanic ash has spread to a radius of 280 kilometers, and there is a trend of continuing to spread.

According to the judgment of climate experts, due to air currents, the huge amount of volcanic ash erupted by Mount Pinatubo will mainly move toward the west and spread to the entire southern sea including surrounding areas.

These days, all the news on TV is about Mount Pinatubo. Originally, the eruption of a volcano thousands of miles away should not have caused such a big shock in the United States.

But, who knows that there is a Subic military base next to it, where more than 30,000 Americans live and there are two major military bases.

Experts from all walks of life jumped out to comment on the subsequent events that this incident will trigger. Among them, New Century Media invited experts on fighter jets from Boeing and Grumman to come out and explain what happened after being covered by volcanic ash.

The damage the aircraft will suffer.

Experts say that volcanic ash contains a large amount of alkali metal oxides and sulfides such as sulfur dioxide, which will inevitably penetrate into the interior of the aircraft and cause serious damage to the engine, air intake system, etc.

It is almost certain that if it were completely exposed to volcanic ash, the aircraft would be basically scrapped.

The exact amount of losses suffered by the military cannot yet be calculated, but they are very heavy anyway.

Sean had cooperation with Grumman and had a private chat.

"I'm really sad. The military must have suffered heavy losses this time. I don't know how many casualties there will be. I, I, ha, ha, cough cough cough..." President Grumman tried hard to hold it in, hoping to appear sad.

.

"Wipe it quickly, there are already tears of sadness at the corner of your mouth!" Sean teased.

The military has suffered heavy losses and will inevitably have to re-purchase and repair in the future. All major arms companies are happy to see such unexpected orders.

Sean is also very happy.

A week later, the first wave of disasters caused by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo has almost settled. The volcano erupted a total of 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. The sulfur dioxide entering the stratosphere reduced 10% of the earth's

Sunlight will cause the earth to enter a volcanic winter.

The military has sent an expert team to the military base to inspect the damage.

The results were not optimistic, the base was basically scrapped, and restarting it would be no less than building another third of the base.

This is not the most important thing.

After the resurgence of Mount Pinatubo, the military had to consider the risks posed by the volcano, including whether the volcano has entered an active period and whether it will erupt again.

Moreover, what should we do if a war breaks out and the enemy uses missiles to attack the volcano and actively cause an eruption?

These are risks that must be considered.

According to the information Sean got from the Foot Covering Building, there is a high probability that this base will be abandoned.

At this time, Sean felt almost ready to move.

…

Sean did not go directly to the Foot Covering Building. In comparison, the 14th Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Command, Huntington Hardesty, who had an interest in it, suffered the most.

From a military perspective, if the Subic military base is abolished, there will be a huge gap in the military strength deployed by the Pacific Command throughout the Pacific region.

A huge gap is exposed in the southern sea area.

From a rights perspective, after the Pacific Command loses the Subic military base, it will suffer heavy losses in terms of personnel, funding, etc., and the related industrial chains will suffer losses.

So, Sean flew straight to Hawaii to start his vacation, with all the women and children accompanying him.

After arriving in Hawaii, he booked a private resort and spent two days on the beach before Sean picked up the phone and made a call to prepare for a cocktail party in Hawaii.

The rich man Sean is going to hold a cocktail party. Naturally, there will be no shortage of people coming to support him, from the United States, South America, and Asia. Anyone who is invited will come.

Celebrities from all walks of life gathered in Hawaii, and naturally people from the Pacific Command were indispensable. After all, Umbrella and the military are cooperative units.

During the break, Sean clinked glasses with Huntington Hardesty alone and asked, "What's the damage at the Subic base?"

"It's very likely that it will be cancelled." Huntington Hardesty shook his head and sighed, "Who would have thought that a volcano would suddenly erupt? It was so sudden."

"Would it be too hasty to cancel it? What about the Pacific Strategy?" Sean asked.

"There is no way. It is difficult for Congress to appropriate funds to rebuild a military base. It requires a lot of money. Rough statistics show that the military's losses this time are as high as more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. Just to replace the various weapons and equipment lost has aroused strong concern in Congress.

If you object, the supplementary funds may have to be disbursed in batches over three to five years."

"In fact, Congress has been proposing to reduce the military's budget in recent years, and this time it is just in time. After all, you know, the old man is dying, and the domestic economy has been sluggish in recent years, and Congress has no money." Huntington

Hardesty is not optimistic about the current situation at all.

Sean was in deep thought, touched his chin, then suddenly raised his head and said, "How much does it cost to rebuild a military base of equal size?"

Huntington Hardesty made a suspicious sound in his nose and looked at Sean with a surprised look on his face. He didn't believe that a person like Sean would ask these things randomly.

"Why do you ask this? What, are you going to build a military base for the military for free?" Huntington Hardesty joked with a smile: "Then I have to thank Mr. Rich."

"It's not like I can't consider it. I'm an American. Of course I have to consider it from the interests of the United States, with great power and great responsibility." Sean responded with a smile.

Huntington Hardesty looked at Sean in astonishment. Seeing the expression on Sean's face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, he couldn't figure out his plan for a while, "Do you really mean this?"

"This is not a small amount of money. The construction standards of military bases are far higher than ordinary buildings. Subic Bay also involves a hugely expensive military port, with a budget of more than 1 billion US dollars!"

"That's indeed a lot." Sean said solemnly, "It's almost as much as my income in half a year."

Huntington Hardesty: “…”

Someone is showing off here, and the situation is almost out of control!

Huntington Hardesty's eyes almost popped out of his head. Damn, I'm so angry!

I really want to beat him to death!

Can you do whatever you want if you have money?

"Then you should also pay the annual rent for the base!" Huntington Hardesty said angrily.

"Is the rent high?" Sean asked.

"Subic Bay, the annual rent is US$900 million. Of course, it is your income for half a year at most, but it lasts a little longer."

"Well, with great power comes great responsibility. It seems that I need to help solve the annual rent issue of the base." Sean said seriously.

"No..." Huntington Hardesty frowned and his expression became serious. If it was a joke, it would be over by now, but looking at Sean like this, it seemed like he was serious.

Sean nodded, "If the issue of military base rent is solved, can we persuade Congress to re-establish a military base?"

"What are your plans?" Huntington Hardesty asked in a deep voice.

Sean said nothing and called Huntington to go to the private room to talk alone.

Pointing to the map he had prepared long ago, Sean stared into Huntington's eyes and said, "What do you think of this place?"

"Then what?"

"I am ready to make Sarawak independent."

Huntington Hardesty slowly typed a question mark.

What the hell does this have to do with a military base?

Ah, what does it matter!

"I think you forgot about Morocco," Sean reminded.

Huntington was stunned for only a second before he thought of what was going on.

Morocco suddenly launched a coup with the support of the protective umbrella. The old king's brother overthrew the original crown prince and ascended to the throne. Then he leased 2 pieces of land for free to the United States to build a military base.

Add a period to this free, that’s one hundred years!

Of course, Morocco is not at a loss either. It is precisely because the United States has built a military base that the new king of Morocco can immediately gain recognition from the international community and successfully complete the transfer of power.

If it were not for the real military support from the United States, it is foreseeable that several European countries, led by France, would definitely support the former crown prince in continuing his struggle.

The best may be long-term internal struggles and international tensions.

The worst thing is to start a civil war directly, and Morocco will be turned into a muddy ground.

Now, if the problem is substituted into Sarawak, the situation is the same. Therefore, this new country will definitely agree to lease a large area of ​​land for free to the United States to build a military base.

Besides, the US military bases do not exist in isolation and can bring a lot of employment opportunities and tax revenue.

The United States is rich, the military is rich, and American soldiers are rich!

So now there is only one question left, can it be done independently?

Sean talked about the lobbying he had completed.

People of all ethnic groups are eagerly looking forward to it. Can they be independent?

able!

My name is Uncle President Bush. Can I be independent?

able!

Can it be independent if the Gujiao Building supports it?

able!

Can people of all ethnic groups achieve independence smoothly with Uncle Bush covering his feet in the building?

able!

Huntington's answer was very straightforward. Combined with this year's international environment, Europe's focus is on the Soviet Union and it has no energy to care about things that are tens of thousands of kilometers away.

And the king is British.

"The Sarawak people's fervent hope and desire for a free world will be recognized by the U.S. military. They have the right to breathe free air, and no one has the right to stop it!" Huntington said firmly.

"On behalf of the people of Sarawak, I would like to thank you for the support from the US military." Sean said seriously.

More than 20 years later, after the British, the people of Sarawak were once again represented.

With free venues, 3, and the support of the president, 4, the remaining military does not have any leverage.

Huntington thought for a while, it was time to go back and talk to the guys in the Foot Covering Building about the northern threat theory.

Although it is now the honeymoon period of Sino-US relations, once the Soviet Union is over, the red flag will be planted on the land of the north. It is understandable for the military to prepare for a rainy day, and it cannot be tempted to build a military base when the situation is over.

The matter has come to an end here, and the affairs promoted by the military have been left to Huntington. Regardless of his personal interests or the overall strength of the military, he will not let his own power slip.

To put it bluntly, if there is one less overseas military base, then how many positions will be lost!!

There are always carrots and pitfalls, but now there are fewer pitfalls, and those carrots are more anxious than Sean.

After the discussion, the two returned to the banquet hall. No one knew that in a short period of time, the fate of Sarawak had been decided.

…

Sean was not in a hurry to inform the people of Sarawak of the good news. He took his family on vacation in Hawaii and waited for news from Huntington.

Huntington has already flown back to Washington to communicate with the top management of the Foot Covering Building.

This vacation also reminded Sean again about buying a private island. At least it would be more convenient for vacation.

Mainly because I don’t have much money, and a private island is also a good investment.

It happened that all his women were there, and on a whim, Sean called the women with a map to discuss where to buy the island.

But soon, he regretted this decision.

"I think the Caribbean is better. It's the closest to the United States, has pleasant scenery and is convenient for vacation." Diane Lane pointed to the map and said.

"Oh, going on vacation with a group of drug criminals? Of course, maybe there are also rebels." Sophie Marceau mocked unceremoniously: "Is there any better holiday destination than the beautiful Aegean Sea? Here we have it.

The most beautiful legend in the world."

“What’s in the Caribbean?”

"Oh, yes, there are pirates!"

Diane Lane's brows suddenly rose and she smiled softly, "Our little girl only has romantic legends in her mind. It's better to say that you are naive or have no brains. Aegean Sea, haha, occasionally open your eyes to look at the international situation.

, the Balkan powder keg may erupt in civil strife at any time, and that is not the business of drug criminals."

"I don't think any drug criminals or rebels would dare to approach Sean's island, unless they are as naive as you!"

As soon as the two started to stir up trouble, other women immediately joined in. The American faction faced off against the European faction. Both sides blamed each other, and it soon escalated to personal attacks.

At this time, the Asian faction unexpectedly stood up.

Nicole Kidman walked to the middle and said loudly: "Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel, no one will die if you do this. It is better to choose the middle and go to Southeast Asia to buy an island. The country of Thousand Islands has beautiful scenery and good public security."

"

"Hey, why don't you wait to see the volcano erupt!"

At this moment, Sean was completely stunned. The harem problem has always troubled the rich.

I originally thought that as long as I made it clear in advance that I would not marry them, there would be no big conflict. But now it seems that I have obviously overthought it.

There were about twenty women, divided into three groups. Sean's head was about to explode and he shouted, "Okay, okay, stop arguing!"

In front of outsiders, once Sean got angry, the whole audience would definitely be silent, but in front of these women...

More than twenty women swarmed up and surrounded Sean, holding hands, arms, thighs, and backs, talking all over the place.

"Husband, look at them, they scolded me."

"My dear, please tell me why my breasts are so small..."

"Baby, she said I'm coquettish, is she coquettish? Is she coquettish or not..."

Sean's scalp went numb instantly, and he grabbed the waistband of his pants, "Hey, hey, if you have something to say, please say it, don't take off my pants!!"

There are too many women, who can withstand the oppression of these goblins, especially when he has made it clear to these women in advance that the next generation will be fighting for, Sean's face is pale and he is covered in sweat.

"Don't argue, don't argue, buy, buy, buy, buy an island in each place, okay, okay, I still have... wuwuwu, let go... I..."

"don't want……!!"

…

…

The next day, at noon, Sean was lying on the bed with a dull look on his face, his eye sockets were sunken, who came up with this bullshit 100,000 Rockefeller plan!

What a sin!

…

(ps: The Age of the Magic Flute, awesome!)
