Chapter 358 Other things

On May 19, the leader of the Socialist Party asked the government to resign. De Gaulle declared: "Reformers, yes! Social scum, no!" The students responded with the slogan: "This is him!"

Although Pompidou (French Prime Minister, the next French President) has been using soft tactics to quell the movement, announcing amnesty orders, releasing arrested students, and reopening the University of Paris. But it is too late to calm the situation. Various trade union organizations 5

A general strike was held on March 13. Six to seven million people took to the streets to demonstrate.

And the political slogans that Catherine had been looking forward to gradually began to appear: "Ten years is too long!", "De Gaulle resigns!" The target was directed at De Gaulle, the symbol of the current system.

De Gaulle was indeed a master of power play.

Originally, after World War II, the Fourth French Republic was established. The country was composed of three political parties. De Gaulle opposed the multi-party system and was also more dissatisfied with the coalition government composed of the three political parties.

De Gaulle quickly knew what developments would be more beneficial to him, so in January 1946, as president, he suddenly resigned and stepped down.

Just after his resignation, the government of the Fourth French Republic changed frequently. In May of that year, an uprising broke out in French Algiers. The army began to intervene in politics, which threatened to cause a civil war.

On May 15, de Gaulle, who had been silent for a long time, issued a statement: "Over the past 12 years, France has faced various problems that cannot be solved by the party system. The country has been in a state of disaster. Last time, the country was given power at a critical moment of survival.

I have the heavy responsibility to lead the country to save the nation. Today, when the country faces another test, it must know that I am ready to take over the power of the republic."

Through this method, de Gaulle was soon elected president here.

After being re-elected as president, the life of the French Fourth Republic came to an end, ushering in the French Fifth Republic that lasted until the 21st century.

After the establishment of the French Fifth Republic, de Gaulle had held the throne of the president for ten years.

But in this May storm, his authority was challenged unprecedentedly.

On May 20, all mines and ports were closed.

On May 22, tens of millions of workers participated in the strike, almost the entire French labor force. From automobile factories to aircraft factories, from shops to docks, from movie theaters to funeral homes... all workers went on strike. Factories

Production was stopped, shops were closed, banks were suspended, sea, land and air transportation were all interrupted, and the entire order of daily life in France fell into unprecedented chaos.

On May 24, French President Charles de Gaulle rushed back to Paris from his overseas visit. He appealed on television to restore order and promised the people "shared participation" in reforms. However, he was powerless. The protests and protests are still developing.

The busiest people at this time are undoubtedly the reporters from various countries. Catherine's Angel News Channel is also broadcasting this event in a large space.

Of course, the negative news far outweighs the positive news. In fact, except for a few countries such as China, most countries - Europe, the United States, the Soviet Union, etc. - are trying their best to block or discredit this incident.

The French are rejoicing, and the British seem to be starting to struggle. Fortunately, the British government has been prepared. Otherwise, if these British students follow the French and start making trouble, things will not be good, and it will be big.

Something bad happened.

…

"Finally done..."

After sending the other party away, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief.

"The evil capitalism only knows that money comes first..."

Catherine added.

Her birthday is coming up in less than ten days, and after her birthday, Catherine will rush back to Japan to film.

"Kate, these are the company's various recent proposals, as well as various statistics."

Elsa handed the document to Catherine.

Elsa~"

Catherine smiled, opened the document, and began to read.

Catherine is a little different from people in this world. She knows the future trend, so she collects the company's intelligence through herself, and then makes plans based on the company's situation. That's pretty much it.

At this moment, a call came from the reception desk, and Catherine quickly answered the phone.

"Ms. Edson, Mr. Soros called to see you..."

"Oh, put the phone in."

Soros called himself?

Catherine was really a little surprised, and then quickly answered the phone.

"You're here, Miss Edson. It's been such a long time."

"Hello, Mr. Soros. What can I do for you?" Catherine asked straight to the point.

"Well... yes." He said: "It's about our venture capital company."

"What's wrong?"

The main products of Catherine's company are storage devices, various batteries, etc. that Catherine has always been obsessed with.

"Well... we are recently very interested in a device that uses solar energy."

"Solar energy?"

Catherine is a little strange.

"Yes, I think such a product is very promising. After all, oil is limited, but solar energy is inexhaustible. In fact, I have always believed that even if it is oil, its essence is covered

It is formed by the metamorphosis of plants underground, and the energy for the growth of these plants comes from the sun. So why don't we choose to use solar energy directly? This is a clean energy source."

"Clean...energy?"

Catherine really didn't expect Soros to be able to come up with such a term, but Catherine didn't want to struggle for a long time just for a solar energy. They could study it if they liked. Anyway, there would be no good results until the 21st century.

Even in the 21st century, solar power generation only accounts for a very small part of the world's total power generation.

"Then I will entrust you with this matter."

Catherine doesn't want to take care of things like solar energy - at least within ten years, it is unlikely that she will take care of such things.

Anyway, even if we develop solar energy now, there is no future, so we can just leave this matter to the people below, and we won’t have any problems with it.

Catherine mainly talked about supporting energy companies, but she never considered anything else. Since Soros thinks there is a future, just leave it to him.

"Well, that's it."

Putting down the phone, Catherine scratched her head.

"Solar energy..."

This is indeed an energy source to be developed in the future, but for now, such a thing is not realistic at all. This kind of product is likely to require continuous investment for more than ten years without any benefit. And through this time, I

You can just wait until the future to acquire two or three energy companies. Anyway, such companies will make very little money in the future.

In the 21st century, many solar energy companies in the United States are operating poorly and are facing bankruptcy.

Although Soros is very visionary, unfortunately, he is still limited by the times, while Catherine can see things more than ten years later, or even decades later.

"Okay, let's do this for now..."

Anyway, it is just a venture capital company, and the proportion of money invested cannot be too large. A small loss is simply insignificant to the venture capital company. Moreover, the relationship between herself and her R group is also limited, so Catherine is completely

Not much to worry about.

At this time, she was thinking about another question.

Next, it’s time to celebrate my birthday...

…

"Okay, now you feel infinitely relaxed, and you feel as if your soul has been sublimated..."

Although Jenny has studied hypnosis, she has always used hypnosis for treatment. Catherine and Elsa have both received Jenny's hypnotherapy, and the reason why Elsa can untie her heart knot is inseparable from Jenny's help.

Open.

But... this is the first time that I have used my ability in this convenience...

Looking at the absent-minded Rebecca in front of her, Jenny felt her cheeks feel a little hot.

"you……"

(But...does it really have to be like this?)

Jenny originally wanted to continue hypnosis, but at this time, she hesitated.

Do you...really want to do this?

Looking back at Ada's expectant expression, Catherine took a deep breath and then started the next thing.

"You start to feel more comfortable all over. You can clearly feel the feeling of your skin in contact with your clothes..."

Rebecca's whole body is now wrapped. Even her head is almost completely sealed. Even her breathing is only through pipes. And her ears are actually wrapped. But in the wrapping

At that time, a modified radio and earphones were put inside. Rebecca could only hear the sound coming from the earphones.

The other party seems to be completely isolated... This is a new "education" method.

Since she couldn't hear or see, all of Rebecca's senses were mobilized - but unfortunately, it was useless.

But precisely because of this, hypnosis is much easier in such pure darkness.

Through the microphone, only your own voice can be transmitted, and there is no way for other sounds to pass through.

Because there was only this voice, Rebecca's body became more sensitive. Because of this, she was almost completely dominated by Jenny's voice.

Although she used to be a swallow, at this time, her previous identity and training were of no help to her at all...

At this time, she was almost completely conquered by Jenny...

…

It's over, I actually fell asleep...

Perfect attendance is gone...wuwuwu...my five hundred oceans...

Ah, I want to go crazy...a!~!
