"There will always be a chance for widowhood."
Victor remained silent after hearing this, damn!
He definitely wasn't fully awake, this was absolutely ridiculous.
He looked at Casare with that "lickspittle" expression, his eyelids twitching, and said earnestly, "Don't mess around!"
"Boss, look at what you're saying, I'm not that kind of person, but there's something about her that attracts me, her stubbornness and defiance are terrifying."
Victor hastily reached out to block him from saying more, picking the half-smoked cigarette from the ashtray and placing it back in his mouth, his expression growing serious.
"Casare, we're brothers, Lady Kalami has passed away, but I feel it's my duty to look after your life, right?"
Fat Casare saw the boss's expression, opened his mouth, but eventually nodded.
Victor had to sort out his lifelong matters for him.
It couldn't be messed up because of issues with women…
History was full of men who died over women.
What charm did Diane Rodham possess to attract him so, hadn't he seen a woman before?
Indeed, what men can't let go of in their lives is always X.
Born for X, die for X, struggle for X all their lives.
Put on clothes, man, still maintaining the most primal impulses of a beast.
After Diane Rodham returned to the United States with Popovich's brother Aldous Wendell, she gave him plenty of face.
She specifically called over some patrons from behind the Democratic Party, military and industrial enterprises, and heads of financial institutions, including those directly conflicting with Victor, like Raytheon Defense Company and Texas Consortium Klang Family.
The dinner was incredibly luxurious.
It was truly upper-class!
Diane Rodham with Aldous Wendell saw too many influential people.
"Do you miss Mexico here?"
"The joy here is something you can't experience in Mexico."
Everyone around laughed.
"We can all be your partners, willing to help you revive the government's authority, but even real brothers must clear their accounts, right?"
"Of course, I come with great respect; we are very hopeful for your help, as long as we can maintain our family's status in Mexico, anything you want!"
This blatant act of betraying one's country immediately lit up the eyes of the American vampires.
Diane Rodham smiled even wider, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes stretched large, she was still very gentle when treating useful people, patted his hand, "You go rest tonight, in the United States, we take very good care of our friends."
"In your room, tonight you'll see the American stars you like," said a tall, long-faced man in a suit, smiling beside her.
Aldous Wendell swallowed saliva. "Then I… will talk tomorrow."
"Of course, take the gentleman to the top-floor room," the long-face told the waiter.
"Please come with me, sir." A busty female waiter bent down, offering a clear view, a sight Mexicans would never see.
His family had some status in Mexico.
But his family atmosphere was strict, considering them as "political seeds" up until age 20, but then it was discovered that Aldous was just a fool, his dad even thought he wasn't his own and demanded a paternity test.
The conclusion was that he was entirely unsuitable for politics.
That's when they relaxed their control over him.
After Aldous Wendell followed the waiter.
The big shots behind finally showed their sinister and greedy looks!
"I want their military project orders!" said Raytheon Company's vice president directly.
"Hand their financial operations to me, I think… they still hold quality assets, Klang Family can entirely take them over."
One by one, "gentlemen" smiled as they spoke of "devouring".
Popovich regime in central Mexico, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, Mexico's central area still has a few oil fields, especially coastal ones.
Mexico still holds the world's largest reserves of silver, ranked third for copper and graphite, and sulfur, zinc, lead, manganese among the top ten...
These are all strategic materials.
How much did Mexico owe the United States in 1990?
54 billion US Dollars!!
Who would pay this debt?
You, Victor, thinking of denying it?
That's impossible, 54 billion, such a huge amount, the Pentagon and White House people would let you fly, tomorrow financial tycoons could make these politicians board the flight.
So, Victor was stalling!
Don't be fooled by him now forcing American companies within "a new round of governance", requiring Mexican national stakes, but truth be told, ordinary people still depend on the United States.
Food, shelter, transportation, even shitting, all have American companies behind them.
Is Victor really going to do "de-urbanization" like "Popo"? In future conflicts, without money, you're going to be suppressed.
Many things need money, social security, army salaries and so on.
Now solely relying on "Hope Group" using drug trafficker's assets and money to withstand, World Bank isn't lending money, Victor's life is very difficult.
If the Fed, shamelessly, decides to raise interest rates…
Oh snap, these debts would instantly turn into a crisis!
That's also one of the reasons Victor wants peace talks…
He wants a stable domestic market to assure economic rise.
But he also understands, Americans won't stop there, delaying as much as possible, waiting till he has a regular army of over two hundred thousand soldiers, then he can have more say.
