Chapter 378 Attitude
"What? Have you decided yet? Virgelia looked at Parks and nodded, "Well, since you have made a decision, I will support you and do my best to do it. In fact, I can't believe that you will give up your position as mayor of New York City and run for vice president. And not the president!"
Parks was sitting in the garden of the villa and said this to Virginia, but his topic really shocked Virginia. Although Virginia knew that Parks had made good achievements after becoming mayor of New York, and it was also successful that Wall Street avoided a financial storm, and after that, it strongly encouraged innovative technology, E Lab continued to launch new products. In 1966, the microprocessor chip E-core based on the inheritance module was launched, and the first personal computer using E-core was launched in 1967. This is six years ahead of the previous era. This advance time is based on the design ideas put forward by Parks, and the results achieved by E Lab after vigorously allocating funds. With sufficient funds and the right research direction, it is not difficult for personal computers to come out in advance.
Because of this, a myth of technology stocks was created on Wall Street! The shares of Company E have risen in the past few years, and the shares of Company E, including the security company and the laboratory, have achieved good results, more than a dozen times. Moreover, the outside world continues to be optimistic, especially with the good success of E Security Company on the Vietnam battlefield. Under the circumstances of heavy casualties and repeated setbacks of the U.S. military, the personnel of E Security Company, with their more sophisticated equipment and more professional and more adaptable to the rainforest combat, not only have less casualties, but also continue to The raid on the strongholds of the Vietnamese army, reconnaissance intelligence, and continuous success.
The improved PV50 assault rifle developed by Gray for the staff of E Security Company is more adaptable to the local environment, which makes many American soldiers envious of their equipment, and their individual equipment is also very suitable for jungle warfare, including radio communication, night vision, etc. It is ahead of the U.S. military equipment in active service.
The high-tech equipment of the security personnel of Company E has finally attracted the attention of the U.S. military. They have begun to contact Company E and propose possible surnames for the weapons they produce. The U.S. Department of Defense submitted the procurement to the parliament, and the proposal was promoted by General Taylor, General Heath and General Lange. And these people are very close to Parks. One is his old superiors and friends, and the rest are rescued by him in Asian concentration camps and have a deep friendship.
In a good situation, Parks is going to run for a vice president with no real power, hiding his glory under the president alone, which makes Virgillian a little confused. Of course, Parks didn't explain it to her, because he knew that if history was true, Richard? President Nixon will be elected president in 1969, and he will also break out in Watergate in 1972 and resign in 1974. What Parks has to do is to become vice president in the 1972 presidential election, and then successfully replace the presidency after President Nixon resigns. It will be a rare example of a president in the United States as a free man rather than as a spokesperson for a political party. Of course, all of this needs to be fully prepared. The same is true for the war against Vietnam.
"Of course, honey! I'm serious!" Parks said, "But not now, I will run for vice president in 1972. You know, if I run for president, I will definitely not be an opponent of those political parties. I just want to avoid it!" Parks smiled, then stood up and gently kissed Virgillian's forehead.
The laughter of the children came from the room, and the three children ran out of the room. The eldest of the three children was already 12 years old. She was a girl. At a young age, she was as beautiful and elegant as a water hibiscus, just like a little princess in a fairy tale, pure let People's hearts are sad. The second is a boy, 8 years old, and the youngest is only 4 years old. He is a little girl and is the favorite of his sister and brother. The three children always fill the room with laughter.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" The eldest daughter Jenna trotted all the way towards the two. She said to Parks, "Dad, Oliver is looking through your photo album again. He always wants to see those old photos!" I have told him not to move, but he just doesn't listen to me. You can't always let him do this!"
"Okay, my lovely little princess!" Parks stood up, then kissed Virginia, and was led by his daughter to his own study. Virgelia shook her head and smiled behind his back. Parks spoiled the child too much.
Although Parks' study is not very big, it is very delicate. A little blonde boy was lying on the desk and looking at Parks' photo album seriously. He knelt on the leather chair, straightened up, and looked attentively, which made people fall in love with the little guy. Jenna was about to shout at him, but Parks quietly put his finger on her lips, and then smiled and walked quietly behind the little boy regardless of Jenna's pouting mouth.
The little boy was licking his fingers, one hand supporting his chin, and then licking his fingers, and the other hand began to flip the album. Obviously, he had to stay on every photo of Parks for a long time.
"Oliver!" Jenna waited for a while and finally couldn't help shouting. She pouted at the smiling Parks with dissatisfaction, "It's up to you, Dad. You have to let Oliver follow the rules, or my personal belongings will be the target of his fiddling!" With the appearance of a anniam, he walked out proudly.
"Dad, I didn't mean to flip it, but it always attracts me there, so I couldn't help but turn it over. But Dad, you look so handsome in military uniform!" Oliver looked at Parks and naively at Parks Road.
"Well, son, why do you like this album?" Parks looked at Oliver, took him down with a smile, and then squatted in front of him, looking at him seriously and asking.
"I want to be a general, Dad, just like you!" Oliver was not ambiguous at all. He casually took down the album and pointed to a photo of Parks in a colonel's uniform and said, "It's like this!"
"No, son, that's just a colonel's uniform, not a general. Of course, if you want to be a general, that's a good idea!" Parks smiled, then took out a certain military hat from the cloakroom of the study, and then put it on Oliver's little head, covering most of his head.
Oliver put his hat up, then smiled and proudly straightened up in front of Parks. Parks saluted him and said, "Hello, General!"
At this time, Oliver also solemnly returned a military salute to Parks. Although it was still very irregular, he was already learning, just like a serious soldier who was about to charge. This made Parks couldn't help smiling again. To be honest, his son likes soldiers, which may be influenced by himself. If his son really wants to embark on the road of joining the army in the future, he can't control it. He will only support him, not oppose him. He did not have the dream of becoming a general. It may be a very good choice to leave it to his son to complete.
And just as Parks enjoyed the joy of family, the Vietnam War once again made the U.S. military feel more and more like falling into a quagmire. Moreover, various anti-war voices have gradually occupied the mainstream media and become the mainstream voice. And Parks's goal in Vietnam has been achieved, and he will not let E Security Company fall into this quagmire with the U.S. military.
In the spring of 1969, Parks delivered a speech at the West Point Military Academy, in which he expounded the principles of E Security Company and promised to withdraw from the Vietnam War on the spot. Yes, his purpose is to display various new weapons of the E laboratory and the Gray family through the Vietnam War, and to promote the proposal to let the U.S. military purchase weapons. Now this goal has been achieved. The proposal promoted by General Taylor was approved in the House of Parliament, and the PV50 improved assault rifle has become the routine of the U.S. military. The standard weapons, and some new equipment are gradually accepted by the U.S. military, and negotiations are being held with Gray.
After such news was released, the stock of the Gray family and the stock of Parks E Company rushed to a high point again. The value of Parks more than doubled again, and his marriage with the Gray family has become the most classic marriage case in the United States, so that it has been imitated by those families and rich families.
"Mr. Parks, you are talking about withdrawing the personnel of E Security Company from Vietnam. As far as I know, the combatants of E Security Company performed very well in the Vietnam War. Does this mean that you will predict that the United States will lose the war, or that you have become an opponent of this policy of the United States." A reporter raised a very tricky question at a press conference after Parks' speech.
"I used to be a soldier. I know that war is generally the last choice, and everyone who has experienced war will have painful memories of a lifetime. E security personnel went for the peace of Vietnam, but now this task seems to be far away. If they participate in it again, it can only be painful memories left by the war, and there will be no fruit of peace. I think the best way is to let them go home. This has nothing to do with the position of the political axe!"
Such an answer is more pertinent, but there are still reporters who don't want to miss this difficult opportunity to ask questions. Another reporter also stood up and said, "Mr. Parks, I heard that you are doing arms business with the U.S. military political axe, and the order is likely to be the advanced weapons equipped by your E security personnel. Your purpose is Isn't it to verify the power of the new weapon and then let the political axe purchase it?
Parks looked at the reporter and suddenly smiled, "Of course, I agree with you. I have really benefited from this aspect. But what I want to say is that if I participate in it, I am invited by the political axe, not on my own initiative. Of course, this has also brought me income. I think my stock has never been so high. Of course, if you are interested, I suggest you buy some too!"
Suddenly, everyone around laughed. Parks easily eliminated the difficulties of reporters, and the atmosphere became harmonious. Parks's speech and press conference let the outside world know a meaning conveyed by Parks. He now has no hope for the Vietnam War and is not very optimistic about the war.
Americans all remember that Parks's prediction of war will be very accurate every time. I don't know if it will be an exception this time!
