Hardy Empire 1945

It was January 1953.

Just after the honeymoon,

Hardy left Margaret and returned to the United States, preparing to take Andy to Washington one day later to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new president.

As for Princess Margaret, she likes the Cayman climate very much, but she doesn't want to go back to London and tremble with the cold. She wants to stay on the island. She is accompanied by a maid, a housekeeper and a guard, as well as Taylor. She is not lonely.

January 20, 1953.

Capitol Hill.

This is the second time Hardy has sat at the observatory on Capitol Hill.

It was Johnson last time.

This time it was Eisenhower.

He believes,

There will be more opportunities in the future.

The presidential inauguration ceremony is still broadcast live by ABC throughout the United States. In order to watch the presidential inauguration ceremony, Congress specifically approved a day off in the United States.

Including schools and factories.

According to statistics, there will be more than 80 million people watching Eisenhower's inauguration today. This is definitely a historic moment.

When the camera swept across the viewing platform,

He stayed on Hardy for about two seconds.

Many people complain,

My boss gave it a close-up, and ABC TV is really good at flattering.

But Hardy’s presence on the viewing platform also sent a signal to the United States and the world, that is, although Johnson has stepped down, he is still a guest of the President and still has a certain influence on Washington.

This one shot,

Can play a good role in consolidating Hardy's position.

The inauguration ceremony begins.

First Nicholasone came to power and was sworn in as the Speaker of the US Vice President Senate. Hardy looked at Nicholasone, who was a hard-core politician he had cultivated.

Of course.

Other families also put their people in other important cabinet positions,

Secretary of State, Secretary of Treasury, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Justice, Secretary of Land and Resources, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Secretary of Housing and Development, Secretary of Transport, Secretary of Energy, Secretary of Education, etc.

Every time a new president comes to power, it is a power-sharing game, and it has never changed. These people belong to the president's cabinet, which means that the president has the right to appoint and change at will.

For example, Kisinger is the spokesperson of the Rockefeller family.

For example, Robert Kennedy, the younger brother of John F. Kennedy, served as the U.S. Attorney General under President John F. Kennedy.

Many US ministers used to be entrepreneurs, especially the Secretary of the Treasury. Many of them were presidents of big banks and presidents of Wall Street investment banks. After the president came to power, he suddenly became the secretary of the treasury. Naturally, the president named him.

These people are easy on stage and easy to change. As long as the president is upset with you, they can dismiss you at any time, even without any reason.

After the vice president took office, the president was sworn in, and then Eisenhower delivered an inauguration speech. After receiving the cheers of tens of thousands of people, the president and his spouse came to the White House and officially became the owner of the White House.

night,

The White House held a reception.

Hardy stood in the crowd, and someone took the initiative to greet and chat from time to time. At this time, Hardy himself had grown into a towering tree.

Hardy's wealth, the lord of the dominion, married the princess of the British Empire, and began to have his own military power, which is not to be underestimated, let alone gathered in one person.

Eisenhower turned around and came to Hardy. The others left voluntarily, leaving room for the two. Eisenhower toasted and touched Hardy, thanking Hardy again for his help during the election.

After talking about some simple topics, the two finally talked about the political situation in Southeast Asia. After all, one of Hardy's fiefdoms was in Malaya.

"I'm just about to talk to your Excellency the President on this matter. It is related to the future development and I need to ask you for advice." Hardy said politely.

"Then tomorrow, let's find time to have a good chat." Eisenhower said.

Although Eisenhower's time is very tight now, he is still willing to take the time to discuss it with Hardy.

The next day.

afternoon.

Hardy visited Eisenhower again, and the two discussed and negotiated in the president's office.

Exchanged opinions,

Some consensus was reached.

It is hoped that Hadi’s dominion will play a more important role in regional security and affairs.

Hardy was very satisfied with the results of this discussion.

He has already dealt with Britain, and as long as he deals with the United States, there are very few forces in the world that can influence his development in Southeast Asia.

now,

The United States is willing to support him and is still the spokesperson of the United Kingdom. By taking advantage of the situation in many ways, Hardy can take the opportunity to complete his ideas.

......

Saying goodbye to Eisenhower and leaving Washington, Hardy did not return to Los Angeles or Cayman, but flew directly to Hong Kong.

Hardy is going to Hong Kong to see his newborn daughter.

Han Yezhen was born.

This time I gave birth to a daughter for Hardy. When Hardy came to Hong Kong's Mid-Levels Villa, the little guy had already opened his eyes and looked at Hardy dumbly. I don't know if it was a coincidence. The little guy looked at Hardy with a smile.

Hardy picked up the little guy.

Very soft.

When Xiao Shitou was born, she was much harder than her sister. No wonder the girl was called Soft Girl. Hardy looked at the little guy for a long time, then turned to Han Ye Jin and said, "Ye Jin, what name would you like to give her?"

Han Yezhen smiled softly.

"Of course the name was given by your father."

Hardy thought for a while,

"Just call Annie. The English name is Annie Hardy and the Chinese name is Annie. It kills two birds with one stone." Hardy said.

Han Yezhen also thinks this name sounds nice.

Annie,

Catchy and easy to remember.

And the meaning is also very good,

It means God's grace, God's favor.

......

After losing his son and daughter for half a month in Hong Kong, Hardy went to Japan. This time he came here specifically to step down as an economic envoy.

The so-called special envoy,

That is, the special envoy of the president. He was appointed by Johnson to supervise Japan's economic activities. Now that Johnson has stepped down as the president of the United States, his special envoy will naturally stop.

Japanese imperial palace.

The emperor, prime minister, cabinet ministers, and many representatives of American and Japanese entrepreneurs sent off Hardy's resignation together. The Japanese Prime Minister, on behalf of Japan, thanked Hardy for his support and contribution to Japan in recent years.

the next day,

Many Japanese newspapers reported this grand farewell ceremony.

Although Hardy stepped down as Japan’s special envoy, his influence on Japan will not fade away. The group of seven consortia still controls Japan’s economic lifeline, from banking and finance, to processing companies, and to food for the people’s livelihood. Even newspapers, television stations and media.

Hardy’s secret report to Johnson,

There are many investigations and judgments of the Hardy Intelligence Organization. The United States will always be vigilant against Japan and will not give him too much freedom and allow it to develop freely.

When I look back, Hardy will also ask Hardy's'Strategy Research Office' to compile a more detailed Japanese strategy report and submit it to Eisenhower as the report of the economic envoy for the past two years.

With Hardy, this **** chucking stick,

Believe in this life,

Japan will only be more difficult than the previous life.

Before Hardy left,

Call Sayuri.

"I am going to leave Japan, and maybe I won't come here for a long time. Now that you are a well-known host and movie star in Japan, your career should not be too difficult in the future..."

Didn't wait for Hardy to finish.

Sayuri knelt by Hardy's legs and said with a choked voice: "My lord, are you going to abandon Sayuri?"

Hardy exhaled slightly.

She raised Sayuri's face with her fingers, and Sayuri was already in tears at the moment.

"Have you never thought about pursuing your own happiness? Find a boyfriend who loves you, get married and have children, follow me, and be just a lover in the eyes of others for the rest of your life."

Sayuri looked at Hardy with watery eyes: "In fact, from the moment I became an adult woman, I have already assumed that I will always follow the adult, unless the adult takes the initiative to abandon me, my lord, do you hate Sayuri?"

Hardy sighed.

"What age is it, and it's not ancient times. Japanese society is now pursuing female sex. Don't take this relationship too seriously." Hardy said.

"Then can I continue to follow the adults?" Sayuri asked again.

"Are you willing to be a lover forever?"

"Of course I do, I'm happier than most women in the world, isn't that enough." Sayuri said firmly.

Think about it actually.

Except for the name.

Hardy can give women everything they want.

Money, status, security, and **** satisfaction, these are indeed more than 99.99% of women in the world.

Sayuri grabbed Hardy's hand and slowly put it into her kimono placket, letting her big hand grasp her chest, feeling the woman's heartbeat.

"My lord, don't give up Sayuri."

Little by little, little by little.

(Ten thousand words are omitted here.)

Before Hardy left Japan.

Sayuri became the deputy director of ABC TV.

Before that, Hardy also let people form an organization called the Japan Women’s Federation, which is a private organization whose main purpose is to let Japanese women pursue their rights. Now Sayuri has been promoted to the vice chairman of the Japan Women’s Federation.

If she has the ability, she can naturally go further, if not, it will be enough for her to live a stable life.

Hardy has a large number of industries in Japan and will come every year, when Sayuri will be able to reunite with Hardy for a period of time.

In fact, in this state, women are happier, which is the pursuit of many modern women.

......

Leave Japan,

Hardy came to the Dominion of Malacca, Penang.

For the future here.

Hardy thought more than Cayman.

Cayman is just a small island. Although it has the name of a dominion, it has no influence on the surrounding area. Now it has become a tax-free paradise. His position has basically been fixed, which is Hardy's back garden.

Penang and Malacca are different.

Here is the main throat of Malacca.

It can have a regional impact on Malaya and Indonesia, and even radiate countries such as Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The situation in Southeast Asia is not stable now, so Britain and the United States are in urgent need of a real agent.

Hardy is ready to use this identity.

Get more benefits from it.

Especially in Indonesia, their president is Sukarno at this time, and their political inclinations are more pro-Soviet, so they are more wary of him in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Hardy came to Penang and began to let the HD defense company start the explosive mode.

American weapons and equipment have been shipped to Penang one after another. In recent years, HD Defense Corporation has set up multiple war rooms and strategic research rooms with a complete staff reserve. It has been sent to Penang to form a headquarters.

Hardy’s army is different from any national army, and his organization is still a mercenary model in the strict sense.

All officers adopt the employment system.

So this does not involve the coup.

foreign,

They are still part of the HD Defense Company, not the national army, and therefore, the army of the Dominion has been a refined military system from the beginning, rather than an extensive militia system.

There are advantages and disadvantages to raising soldiers in this way.

The advantage is that the use of this army can be more flexible, pull them to any place, others can not say that other countries invade.

And there is no need to worry about soldiers getting bigger, some soldiers will be involved in politics, because they are not involved in politics and are pure combatants.

The disadvantage is that the cost of raising troops is higher, but the salary is several grades higher than that of other people's troops, and a large-scale reserve cannot be formed. If there is a large-scale war ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ there is no better foundation.

But Hardy knew,

In the decades after World War II, there were no large-scale wars. They were all local wars. Elite soldiers were more suitable for the needs of future wars.

Moreover, a small country like him is useless even if there is reserve service, the population is too small, and there is no depth of land, and it is not suitable for fighting attrition.

His target is not the five permanent members of the United States, the Soviet Union, China, Britain, and France. He mainly faces countries in Southeast Asia.

The Dominion of Hardy began to conscript.

strictly speaking,

It is the HD defense company. It recruits locals from the Dominion to join the defense company. In the early stage, it plans to recruit 20,000 people, of which 10,000 are the army, and the remaining 10,000 are the navy and air force.

And these people,

After the preliminary training, some will be eliminated, and the rest will be strengthened to patrol, become a real mercenary, and integrate into the existing HD defense company system.

As for those eliminated, some will be turned into military police to serve the localities.

After this batch is stabilized, the second batch will be recruited one after another. Hardy’s idea is to establish a team of about 17,000 marines, 6,000 navy personnel, and 3,000 space personnel, among which Penang locals account for more than 80%. .

......

Hardy came to HD Defense Penang headquarters, which has been constructed relatively well. Hardy is going to talk with the experts in the'Strategic Research Office' today.

A group of senior strategic talents gathered here, including the former US military senior strategic staff, intelligence experts, and advisory analysis experts. Their purpose is to help Hardy analyze the strategic situation in Southeast Asia.

Hardy gave them the following topics:

"The future direction of Malaya."

"Analysis of the possibility of the merger of the Dominions of Singapore and Penang."

"Responding to a military conflict with Indonesia."
