The Goddess Shines on America

Just after the final exam, Alice flew back to Los Angeles. Of course, Miyano didn't go with her, not to mention the necessity of the basics, the matter of protecting the Tokyo branch of the umbrella, or the Miss Sadako who has basically recovered, all of which require her to do it herself to a certain extent.

At the same time, since the date has reached December, it means that war is imminent.

It will not be long before US Secretary of State Baker and Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz will meet in Geneva for the last time before the war. However, both sides believe that there is no room for compromise and the talks have not yielded any results. Just three days later, the U.S. Congress will authorize troops to drive Iraq out of Kuwait, and shortly thereafter other countries in the coalition will also authorize their troops.

Then four days later, the war officially broke out.

There will be major movements in the Gulf, and the Soviet Union will not be peaceful. At the end of this month, the people of Slovenia have voted to secede from Yugoslavia. In April next year, Georgia will declare independence, and when August arrives, seven countries will declare independence in less than ten days. This wave will It will directly promote the final disintegration of the Soviet Union at the end of the year.

It's all big things, so in this winter vacation, Alice has to go back to Los Angeles, because there are too many things to deal with.

Although it wasn't that Alice would suffer huge losses if she didn't participate, since Leo Vantaa had been entrusted to invest in Su, and she had a mercenary army with a size of 3,000 people, it really didn't make sense not to intervene. .

The Boeing 747 crossed the Pacific Ocean, and then landed at Los Angeles International Airport. A Black Hawk helicopter belonging to the group company was waiting there. The pilot was the bodyguard Brody who stayed in the Alice Building, and Monica was also on the scene .

"Miss!"

Amidst the roar of the rumbling propellers, Monica said: "Mr. Akaman and Ms. Akaman have also arrived on the roof and are meeting with Ms. Wang now."

Uncle Akaman and Maiya arrived in time, which is really gratifying, especially when Alice found out on the plane that Ashley, who had been hanging around in Europe, was also here. Thinking about it, Eastern Europe is a part of Europe, and the distance between Italy and the mouth of the Red Sea is not very far. Since the Soviet Union has become more and more unstable during this period, and wars are raging around the Gulf, she has absolutely no reason not to come here.

The helicopter took off from the airport, and then headed straight for downtown Los Angeles. From a long distance, you could see the Alice Building, which is more than 600 meters high. Alice sat in the cabin, wearing sound-isolating earmuffs on her head, and communicating with Monica through a headset.

"Manhattan's Vanda Plaza has officially started construction. Twenty-one buildings are under construction at the same time. The current average height is seven floors, not counting the basement. In addition, AT\u0026T just sent an email yesterday, hoping to speed up the network infrastructure construction in California with us. host."

Opening her mouth was a piece of heavy news. Fortunately, Monica used another one as a foreshadowing, but Alice still reacted in a daze.

"It's just laying a fiber optic network on a large scale? But this technology is very expensive. Don't they consider the possibility of losing money?"

It took only a short time for the plane to fly to the Alice Building, so Monica reported quickly: "The main reason is that our building has been fully equipped with optical fiber, and the office efficiency of it has already been widely spread. Although ordinary The company is definitely unable to pay, but as of now, in Silicon Valley alone, more than 300 customers have applied for fiber optic network, and our neighbors near the city center are also eager for it. Losing money, AT\u0026T will not worry about that."

Alice's mind was spinning. How to call it, this is the publicity effect brought by the first batch of users. Of course, Alice did not advertise the optical fiber network, but the matter of letting her entire skyscraper lay optical fiber is the most publicity in itself. . Of course the others are not fools. The building has been built for so long, and it is enough to watch from the sidelines. Even if the price is a little expensive, the office efficiency it brings is real.

"Obviously, it's meaningless if it's just the improvement of network efficiency in office buildings. So... there are 300 companies in Silicon Valley, tsk tsk, do you want to join forces to promote the laying of fiber optic network infrastructure?"

The email just arrived yesterday, because Alice was still in Japan at that time, it is inevitable that there are many things that Alice was not directly involved in. If you think about it carefully, there are so many ways to do things here, and the meetings and consultations between managers of various enterprises can definitely make many people tired day and night. Fortunately, Alice's height is here, and she doesn't need to participate in those relatively low-level social activities at all, otherwise she wouldn't have to do anything else all day long, just go to meetings with messy business representatives every day!

Over the past six months, ever since Northrop Grumman, a major arms dealer in California, has contacted Alice, this entire huge corporate consortium will of course radiate to the entire United States with unprecedented influence. , California is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Optical fiber network covering California is of course only the first step, and just this first step... GDP will be equal to that of California, the eighth largest economy in the world. This is equivalent to popularizing optical fiber network in the whole of France, isn't it? The territory is sufficient, the economic strength is sufficient, and the number of enterprises is sufficient. Other states should not be too envious.

Not long after, the helicopter slowly landed on the apron on the top floor of the Alice Building, and the edge is seven or eight meters vertically down to the open-air garden. Alice also climbed the stairs slowly, and jumped directly onto the garden, then walked directly into the apartment, and then took the elevator downstairs to the office of the chairman of the Umbrella Investment Company below.

"Hey, Alice, came down the stairs!?"

As soon as the elevator door opened, a tall figure jumped up and gave Alice a big bear hug: "I miss you so much~ Come on, give me a kiss!"

Knowing it was Ashley, she slapped her face directly, Alice quickly pushed her away, and then, Maiya, whom she hadn't seen for a while, stepped forward and gave her a hug as well.

"You guys are really enthusiastic." Alice patted them. In the office, Sophie was also chatting with Uncle Akaman. Now she got up and said, "Alice, is everything okay in Tokyo?"

"Of course Mom, Hey Levi, any good news for me?"

"There's a lot of good news, it depends on which one you want to hear."

"Let's talk about the Soviet Union first. What's going on there?"

Of course, this question was not about "disintegration". Akaman's face was serious, and he looked around first. Fortunately, all the people staying in this room are their own people. As Alice's core office, of course, there is no need to worry about who will install bugs.

"According to the informant's report, Gorbachev's forehead has completely lost his hair." He said with a soft smile: "The disappearance of the two Typhoon-class strategic nuclear submarines will become an eternal nightmare for the Soviet leadership, even if it really disintegrates one day , the successor government will definitely spare no effort to find them. It can be said that for a long time, the Soviet Union has absolutely no energy to fight with the United States. Just finding the submarines is enough for them to consume all the intelligence personnel gone."

Listening to this topic, Ashley felt like she couldn't stand or sit. When it comes to content, political and military matters are her business, but when it comes to nature, there is really no way to ignore it. At this moment, Maiya's role was about to be displayed, she sat beside her silently, put her hands on her shoulders, and immediately told Ashley to be honest.

"But the Pentagon will definitely not be safe..." Alice rubbed her temples and said, "After all, there are hundreds of nuclear bombs, and it would be a nightmare to fall into the hands of any third party, so the NSA and CIA will definitely set up a joint investigation team. Ah Uncle Kaman, do you think we have a way to get someone into this group?"

Ashley stuck out her tongue again.

"Misleading their thinking, right?" Akaman touched his chin and said, "But this kind of thing, unless the truth comes to light, will never let it go. If we really want to send someone, we have to do it well for five to ten years The above-mentioned protracted war preparations, no dead soldier would be willing to accept this kind of task... We are just a consortium, not a country."

Having said that, Sophie couldn't help but sigh again.

How did she give birth to such an uneasy daughter?

It's not easy to steal anything, go steal a nuclear submarine! ?

And one steal is two ships! ?

And it's fully loaded with nuclear missiles! ?

Do you want to buy two get one free and then loot that one too! ?

There are only a few typhoon-class ships in total!

Sophie really thinks that even if Alice gets married one day and steals men, even if she steals seven or eight men in one go and throws a sex party, it's better than stealing this...

"Theoretically, there are candidates, and those who have worked for more than ten years." Alice said, "It's just that the preliminary work is too cumbersome, and the results may not be equivalent, so it's not that it can't be done, but that it's unnecessary. We just need to ensure that the two nuclear submarines have nothing to do with us, what do you think?"

The current topic is indeed much more important than the Gulf War that is close at hand, so Akaman naturally suppressed the prepared topic and discussed this matter with Alice in detail.

"The whole thing started because you made a bet with the director of Northrop Grumman. Although he didn't know that you stole two nuclear submarines, if the CIA really asked, the old man would definitely think of it. So we What needs to be dealt with is the issue about him, killing people to kill people? Destroying corpses and destroying traces? Is there a second option besides this extreme method?"

There must be, but Alice can't explain it. As for what Akaman said, of course she absolutely agrees. Think about Northrop Grumman's business, the construction of a full set of Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, and the production of a series of submarines, radars and ships. In the face of the theft of Typhoon-class nuclear submarines, how can the CIA not go Why ask him?

Oh, of course, even if it is dangerous, those are two of the largest nuclear submarines in history with full nuclear bombs. Take it for yourself, to say that Akaman, Sophie and others are not tempted is simply the biggest joke in human history.

"Yes... I really need to consider the issue of sealing."

This time it wasn't Alice. Sophie shook the black tea cup lightly and began to think.
