Chapter 171 Early and slow bear, in action

Vladimir received a report.

This is an encrypted intelligence sent from the United States.

It only took three days for this information to reach him from the United States.

This document comes from a senior spy hiding in the United States. Although he is young, he has undergone long-term and rigorous training and is absolutely loyal to the country.

"network……"

Intelligence shows that the United States is researching a very special communication system that can achieve diversified communication and is very fast. It can contact people on the other end of the system anytime and anywhere.

In addition, the so-called network has some other functions, but this report only briefly mentions them.

The report also mentioned that the United States seems to have a similar network, but it has not yet been able to access it.

Vladimir attaches great importance to this report. It is very likely that the United States is preparing to develop a new field. Maybe the Americans cannot catch up with the Soviet Union in the aviation field, so they are preparing to take a new path?

He was a little unsure whether the United States' move was a feint or whether the other party really had some strange purpose. The report on the "network" was also a bit vague. In the end, Vladimir could only order the other party to continue the investigation...

On the same day, Catherine and Jenny had just gotten off the car.

Dating parties are not popular in the United States, and Catherine thought this party was a bit strange.

"Business alliances are business discussions and should be carried out purely through capital operations."

Jenny said angrily.

"Maybe your grandfather is just doing it for your own good." To be honest, Catherine feels very twisted in her heart now. If this dance fails, she will be quite happy.

At this time, the car gradually stopped.

Catherine was wearing a black dress today, which was more conservative, and Jenny was also dressed similarly.

Catherine originally could see a very lively dance party in the future, but after entering, she was a little disappointed. The ball was not lively, and even a bit dull. Compared with the "messy" 1960s, it was really

It's out of place.

Despite this, Catherine still looked around with interest.

According to the first issue of "Ial-Register", there are about 881 upper-class families in the United States. People from these families can almost be defined as "nobles".

At this moment, several people walked over from inside with smiles.

"I hope we have another chance to cooperate next time."

Catherine saw it. One of them was Jenny's grandfather. He still looked the same as he had a few years ago, not so old.

But what surprised Catherine was another person.

"Dad?" Catherine was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"Kate?"

Bruce also looked at his daughter in shock.

"Dad, why are you here?" Catherine walked up.

"I'm here to discuss business, Kate, why are you here?"

"I came to the ball with Jenny." Catherine was a little strange, "What business do you have to discuss with the arms dealer?"

"Of course it's for the umbrella..."

It seems that this dance is really different from the "blind date dance" mentioned by Jenny.

Catherine looked at Jenny and found that she was talking to her grandfather, so she continued to listen to her father.

"We are mainly talking about a system to regulate the mercenary industry. They all want to formulate a regulation, and the Pentagon also hopes that we can be more orderly."

Indeed, the U.S. military is now stuck in the quagmire of the Vietnam War. Although mercenaries cannot change the conditions of the U.S. military as it was in history, they can at least take on the logistics support work and reduce the burden on the military.

Catherine really felt a little strange that the arms dealer actually used mercenaries...

She didn't remember anything like this ever happening in history, but it seemed like her father was tampering with history faster than she was.

"Then what?"

"Then we didn't reach an agreement, but we still negotiated an arms deal."

"What exactly?"

Catherine is very interested in arms.

Perhaps due to the impression from her previous life, Catherine always felt that those who could engage in arms production were "big guys".

Although Catherine didn't like to be called that, if she could become the boss behind the scenes, Catherine would still be happy to do so.

Catherine once said that she wanted to be the "behind-the-scenes manipulator" of the United States. Although this is unrealistic, it seems interesting to be able to get involved.

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to my banquet..."

At this time, the real host of the banquet finally came out.

"Who is he?" Catherine asked curiously.

"Adams Lodge. One of the members of the Boston Syndicate."

Catherine nodded.

The Boston consortium controls the arms company Raytheon, and White Lao next to him also owns some shares of Raytheon.

However, the one that really holds the most power is the Boston Consortium, one of the top ten financial groups in the United States.

It is one of the oldest monopoly consortiums in the United States. It was formed by the Lowell, Lawrence, Adams, and Lodge families in the Boston area who made their fortunes through the slave trade in the 19th century, and the emerging Kennedy family.

The Kennedy family among them is the one where President Kennedy once appeared.

In my impression, the Boston Consortium seems to be more inclined to the Democratic Party?

Catherine is more inclined towards the Republican Party, because the Republican Party represents the interests of big capitalists.

However, Catherine seemed to remember that in her time, many people liked to accuse the Republican Party of being an ally of China...it was really strange.

"Dad, how about you be my dance partner later?" Catherine suddenly said.

"What?" Bruce was a little surprised.

"When we dance later, you will be my partner." Catherine smiled.

"Please, I'm not very familiar with waltzes..."

Catherine looked shameless.

"Okay..." Bruce knew that even if he refused, Catherine would pester her. If his daughter really couldn't dance the waltz, it would be better for him to cover up.

It's okay to dance with her father, at least she won't be rejected or feel uncomfortable, but let her be with other men...

Then forget it...

Also, intercom online.

Zaomanxiong: Hey, I heard that in addition to our intercom, there is also a network.

Gregory had just finished dinner and returned to the computer room when he saw this sentence.

Immediately afterwards, the discussion began below.

There are now a total of 90 people online in this network. Zao Manxiong's words made the chat room lively.

Twelve Dragon Riders: I seem to have heard of this. My brother works in the military, and they seem to often talk about skycom. But this network is mainly on the east coast.

The words of the Twelve Dragon Riders immediately attracted everyone's attention.

At this time, most of the nicknames of people on the Internet are their real names. Some of them, like Gregory, add a prefix of "immortal" to their names. Therefore, this kind of strange name immediately attracts attention.

got everyone's attention.

Gregory the Immortal: Skynet? This name is really cool. Why can’t our network be called Skycom?

Aikul: Maybe it’s because the company that researches the network is called Intel, but of course, it’s now operated by American Unicom.

Gregory the Immortal: Then why not call it Intelcom?

Twelve Dragon Riders: Probably because intercom sounds more l.

Gregory the Immortal: It seems so...

Aikul: But now the company in charge of this network is American Unicom.

Zao Man Xiong: They are almost the same, because they are all companies under Ark Group.

Aikul: They have been losing money. I really don’t know why.

Immortal Gregory: Perhaps for future profits, I find that I can no longer live without the Internet

Twelve Dragon Riders: No, my brother said that this thing will have greater military use...

At this moment, the system sent out a row of red fonts.

Chatting is to distinguish people's colors, so it's not black and white, but a variety of colors.

However, only the red fonts here are system-specific.

Notice: The server has failed and is ready for maintenance. The network will be shut down in 1 minute.

Gregory was talking about it in high spirits, but he didn't expect that such a problem would arise.

But he could only shrug.

Because they were originally invited to test the network.

On the other side, the technicians from America Unicom were sweating profusely.

How could people find out about Skycom so easily?

They immediately packaged the information and recorded it on tape.

They called Catherine, hoping to ask Catherine if they needed to send this information to the military.

But after the call was connected, the answerer was not Catherine, but Elsa, and Catherine was still at the dance at the moment.

"Skycom..." A Russian student turned off his computer and stood up.

Then he began to speculate.

Will this network be on the east coast?

Could it be the Pentagon?

This is very possible.

He immediately left the computer room and made a phone call.

Soon, the call was connected there.

"Hello, Danny, this is Andre." He said in English proficiently.

"Andre, what's wrong?"

"I originally wanted to invite you to the West Coast to celebrate your 'birthday', but I'm sorry, I'm afraid that your 'birthday' will have to be celebrated on the East Coast."

There was silence for a while.

"Are you ready to come? Where are you?"

"I will go to Washington, don't worry, I will buy you a big, pentagonal cake, happy birthday."

He hung up the phone and left quickly.

He immediately called the store, ordered a pentagonal cake, bought a plane ticket to New York, and left California.
