Chapter 462 Christmas 1968 (Part 2)

"Oh... I didn't expect to be here just now... I'm so sorry..."

Bruce smiled apologetically at his family.

By the time he arrived at the manor, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon on the 24th.

"Dad, it seems that your companions are really 'enthusiastic'..." Catherine smiled at the side.

"Actually it's not like that," Bruce shrugged: "Before coming here, I went to North Carolina first, so I was delayed a little bit."

"North Carolina? What are you doing there?" Emma asked strangely.

"Our company needs to have a training base at home. I thought it would not be good if most of our training centers were in Asia... So I went to North Carolina and bought 10,000 acres of land as our umbrella company.

New base." Bruce replied.

Catherine's eyes widened when she heard Bruce's explanation.

Catherine also knew that her father wanted to establish a training base in China, but she never thought that Bruce would choose North Carolina... Historically, Blackwater Company should also have established a base here...

"We purchased a pine forest and some surrounding areas there, and we plan to build the base there, so that it will be difficult for outsiders to find it, and the forest is also very good for training team members in wilderness survival skills."

“Do I still need training to survive in the wild?”

Catherine remembered that she had watched a very strange program, which seemed to be in her previous life. It seemed to be "Everyday Food"... This was a program starring Bel Giroux, who was looking for delicious food in a deserted swamp.

Affected, Catherine feels that surviving in the wild does not seem to be a very difficult thing. It seems that as long as you memorize the recipes...

"Of course it is necessary, and it is very necessary. When we were in Vietnam, many of our soldiers were lost in the jungle and became missing persons... Fortunately, our employees were only responsible for logistics." Bruce rubbed his forehead.

"Well, I have no interest in these mercenary groups," Emma shrugged: "But I think you should come over quickly to help now. We should make Christmas fire."

Emma was not interested in the Vietnam War or anything like that at all, because it had no impact on her life at all.

If there is any impact, it would be that the anti-war demonstrations often make Emma upset when she goes shopping... This is her only view of these people.

"We do it ourselves?" Bruce asked strangely.

"Yes," Catherine replied, "In fact, we just killed the fire together. If we don't do it right, we won't have dinner on Christmas Eve."

Different from the Chinese, some Chinese people choose to have their main meal at noon and have a lively meal with their families. For Americans, dinner is the most important, and what they mean is dinner.

, so luncheons are rare in Europe and the United States, and most are dinner parties.

"Why do we have to kill fire ourselves?" Bruce gestured exaggeratedly.

At this time, Emma looked at her daughter angrily.

Catherine said with a serious face: "I think it is necessary because we are already very wealthy, so we should eat some healthy videos - at least start by cooking for ourselves."

"Well, why don't we hire a chef?"

Bruce's question made Catherine stunned for a minute.

"It seems...maybe...probably...maybe...we should do this?" Catherine nodded sheepishly.

Because when she was at home, it was her mother who always cooked, and after coming to the manor, in addition to eating fast food, Elsa was also responsible for Catherine's meals. Catherine had not thought about the chef at all, but this seemed very important.

necessary?

"Okay, but before that--Bruce, please come over and help."

Emma said angrily again.

"Okay, okay." Bruce raised his hands in surrender.

So, Bruce was dragged to the kitchen by Emma to deal with the just-killed fire that Catherine and the four of them had been dealing with before. What he had to do now was very simple, that is, to pluck the fire.

At this time, Catherine's mind became active.

Hiring a chef seems like a good choice.

"It would be best to hire someone who knows Chinese food..."

Now that she can hire a chef, Catherine feels that it would be a good choice to have a little recollection of the food she had in her previous life. Moreover, Chinese food has a richer variety of cuisines and styles than Western food, so Catherine feels that she cannot afford to treat her stomach badly.

Of course, Western food is actually quite good. Although everyone has slightly different tastes, Catherine likes both Chinese and Western food.

Double-layer beef, then put three layers of lettuce, add an egg, spread salad dressing on top, cover it with bread, and then bite it in one bite... This is simply delicious on earth.

Ahem...

Although hamburgers are fast food, it has to be said that this is indeed what Catherine likes to eat. It can be said that Catherine likes all foods such as steak.

The type of food that Catherine dislikes the most is probably seafood, and Catherine is also very disgusted with eating seafood.

Of course, even if she hates seafood, Catherine does not ignore all seafood. Things like caviar actually taste pretty good.

"Maybe I should find a few chefs... It would be better not only to have Chinese and Western food, but also chefs from other cuisines, and invite a few chefs to come together..."

This is only a few hundred thousand dollars a year, which is nothing to Catherine. Even if Catherine no longer has a business, she can still afford it based on the royalties.

"Kate, come here and help"

Over there, mother Emma was shouting.

“Okay, come right away”

In the past, the frozen fire they bought in the supermarket had already been processed, but this time, they had to start from scratch, and they were not killing Chinese people in almost every household. Some of these things were really difficult for one person to handle...

…

…

On December 22, 2011, 20 million educated young people in China went to the mountains and countryside, which brought peace to this turbulent country.

The United States, which has just welcomed Christmas, is destined to be a time of incessant relief. Even many people’s Christmas holidays are filled with trepidation.

On March 28, it was still China. In this country, a new round of hydrogen bomb tests was successful.

What is a hydrogen bomb?

The release of energy produced by a thermonuclear reaction must be detonated by an atomic bomb, which can be said to be the ultimate power in this world.

And now, there is one more country that has mastered this power.

For Catherine, it was a nice Christmas, with her family making a fire and then having a rich Christmas dinner.

And the most important thing is that she knows that even if such a thing happens, it will not be a big deal. The Chinese have no time to build nuclear bombs. Although most countries have the impression of such a country as "a child waving a gun", but

China is actually a very restrained and wise man. Maybe the world will be destroyed by nuclear bombs one day, but it will never be caused by China in the first place.

It's just that people are always afraid of things they don't understand. It's like the night is not that scary, but people are still afraid of the existence of "ghosts". If there are any ghosts, they are always there.

It appears at night and lives with humans, so that people will not feel scared. This is because people are afraid of unknown things.

Even an atheist will feel trembling with fear when approaching a dark corridor. This is also due to the fear of the unknown.

China is a mysterious country, even more mysterious than the Soviet Union.

At least now, people can still know some news about the Soviet Union, but they know very little about China. Such a country suddenly possesses the ultimate and most deadly weapon in the world. Naturally

Will be feared by others.

However, China seems to have no time to pay attention to the world at this time. Instead, it is confronting the Soviet Union. The two countries that also believe in Marx are no longer dealing with each other. This seems a bit strange.

On the other hand, the trend of gold also continued to hit $200 on Christmas Eve, and finally broke through the critical point on January 5, reaching an ultra-high price of $200 per ounce.

Many financial experts are already calling that gold is on the verge of overheating and is no longer suitable for circulation as a currency.

However, the predictions of experts are always contrary to the facts. Gold is still rising continuously. Many people who have cashed out enter the gold market again after seeing the price of gold continue to rise. This in turn promotes the rise of gold.

The price continues to rise...

On the other side, the Eastern European route of the Great Soviet Union Network encountered obstacles.

Because the United States announced that it has completed the intercity network covering the North American continent. In other words, the United States is already ahead of the Soviet Union in this regard - the key is that these routes are more time-consuming and laborious than those in Eastern Europe.

And the cost is higher.

After that, the Soviet Union's Internet construction has slowed down again and again. So far, it has only completed one main line from Berlin to Moscow. The surrounding branches have only just started construction, and this line seems to have encountered problems recently.

The dissatisfaction and obstruction of some Eastern European countries - of course, this obstruction is not open.

And at this time, the political situation in the Soviet Union seemed to have changed slightly... Although Comrade Brezhnev, who had become addicted to the Internet, was not very clear about this strange change, but it did have the flavor of the Soviet Union.

Some kind of change...

Hoho, there are two more updates~
