America 1982

When Tommy received his father's call for help, he and his brother Tony were sitting in front of an open-air Italian coffee stall in Times Square, New York, drinking coffee. While taking a rest, they waited for Otilia, Ashley and Bethea.

At this moment, the two future daughters-in-law of the Hawk family are acting as Bethea's photography models in Times Square, posing in various poses for the camera at her request so that she can practice her photography skills.

Frank, who works on Wall Street, and Kevin, who is a talk show actor, the two guys with the highest force value in the CS gang, work separately. Frank is going to get the front row tickets for the Knicks at Madison Garden tonight, and Kevin is in charge. Arrange for a post-game drink and chat.

"Are you still used to it?" Tommy drank coffee, looked at Ashley who was smiling at Bethea's camera in the distance, and asked Tony with a smirk: "Generally, how can outstanding American officers like you survive in such a long time?" Use the abstinence period to solve your own physiological problems."

Although Tony was wearing casual clothes, he sat in a more upright posture than his lazy brother Tommy. Hearing Tommy teasing himself, Tony smiled and said: "Don't you know? The Pentagon has already thought about it for us, and every ship is on board." An inflatable doll is provided free of charge for all ship members to queue up and use.”

"Really?" Tommy asked exaggeratedly.

Tony said with a serious expression: "It's absolutely true."

"Do me a favor, dear brother, for the sake of us being brothers." Tommy saw Tony's sincere expression, nodded, and then requested.

Tony seemed to have guessed what Tommy's request was, and said proactively: "Arrange for you to put on my uniform and board the ship to experience it?"

"No, steal that thing out, and then ask my father-in-law's shipping company to research ships made of the same material. It sounds like that inflatable doll can withstand more pressure than the aircraft carrier of the U.S. Navy. It was ravaged by three to four thousand men in line. It can still remain intact for months, and its strength is amazing. It may even be transformed into aerospace materials. Think about it, the scene of NASA astronauts each riding an inflatable doll to land on the moon is more powerful than the space shuttle. Tommy said to Tony.

"It makes sense. If the unlucky intruder plane had been made of the same material as the inflatable doll, it might have been able to block the firepower of the carrier-based cannon." After Tony chatted with his brother for a while, he picked up the coffee and took a sip. Then he looked at his younger brother, who was obviously smaller than himself: "So, how are you doing while I'm away?"

Tommy picked up the nuts and Italian biscuits on the table and put them in his mouth: "It's good. Everyone looks at me like a willful fool with too much money, but in fact, through my father-in-law and Stephen, Benjamin Ben Thanks to Mr. Sen’s relationship, he has borrowed a lot of money, not counting Jim’s loan of Soviet rubles from banks in East Germany and the Soviet Union in the name of KeyBank and through his relationship with the Army contractor Wilson Bullock. All the assets of the Doc Group in the United States, but TV networks and movie companies should be fine. The media monster has become more and more greedy in the past two years. He thinks that short-term loan interest rates will fall, so he holds short-term loans from more than a hundred banks. , looks like it is waiting for interest rates to fall before switching to long-term debt holdings..."

"I'm just asking how your life is lately, Tommy. Do you think I can understand what you're saying?" Tony picked up a hazelnut and threw it towards Tommy, interrupting Tommy: "I was wrong. , I shouldn’t have been bragging to you for thirty minutes about my first experience in dispatching carrier-based aircraft when you asked me how I was doing.”

He felt that Tommy did it on purpose, probably because when he and Tommy just chatted, they talked about a lot of their work experiences when they first went to the Nimitz. At that time, Tommy's reaction was the same as his own, and he went crazy to express it to himself. , he has no interest in serving under his brother.

"That's the problem. You are a naval officer and you just focus on your naval work. That guy should be more focused on selling newspapers, but now he thinks it's faster to make money by playing financial games, and he wants to use his media company, like he did to Australia Just like those banks in the UK, treat American banks... I know you don't know what I'm talking about, but except for you, I have no one to talk to. Jim went to Germany to look for opportunities to have sex with the Soviets, and Benjamin was busy Help me take care of all the business, Jason White, a well-known wealthy upstart in Silicon Valley, specializes in the computer industry. I am Big Eric in the SSD fraternity, and I went to a geological research institution to work as a computer expert, helping those scientific researchers calculate California faults. Data, Charles Salmon, the chairman of the board when I was a rookie, was busy using the VOX TV website I provided to establish a foothold. All willing and trustworthy friends had no time to chat with me, so I can only say, In fact, I was very bored during this period. I spent most of the time listening to various news. I was like a thief waiting for an opportunity and lurking quietly until his body was covered with cobwebs. I had nothing to do but wait." Tommy threw it into his mouth. There is a piece of dried fruit, which makes a crunchy sound.

Tony took out a pack of Camel cigarettes made in Windsor, lit them and took a puff: "Please, I am your brother, not your partners. Talk to me about family, not yours. That sounds more complicated than dispatching carrier-based aircraft. work."

"Dad is still the same as before, happily buying and dismantling boats with his friends, and dismantling one more radio station that can be repaired and used will make them happy for a while. Regular physical examination data shows that I'd better not be disobedient. He, with his good physical condition, can strangle me to death with one hand." Tommy picked up Tony's Camel cigarettes, took one, took a deep breath, and then coughed twice:

"Just because of the unpleasant smell, I know it's true that the Pentagon is only willing to stingyly arrange one inflatable doll for each warship. Rolling up some Texas cow dung smells better than this thing."

He stubbed out the cigarette he had just lit, then took a sip of coffee before continuing:

"As for Bethea, I am probably equal to a devil in her mind. She knows that I am doing it for her own good, but she just doesn't want to obey. Just like when our mother asked us to study hard, we also know that our mother will not harm us, but no It prevents the two of us from skipping school, so you can go pick up girls and fool around while I go to Dennis and Pam to raise money to buy the latest issue of Penthouse.”

"So did Bethea choose to hang out with a little boy like me, or did she choose to crowdfund Penthouse magazine with her fucking little sisters?" Tony laughed.

Tommy sat back in the chair and smiled relaxedly: "When you see that I am still alive and not strangled to death by my father, you should know that the terrible thing did not happen. Bethea is not bad. If she continues to maintain , maybe you don’t need to go to Stanford, but consider Harvard or Yale. Charles promised to get his think tank mentors and help Bethea prepare the necessary letters of recommendation. That’s it, this is the life of everyone in the Hawk family when you are at sea. .”

"So... you didn't propose. Otilia is not from the Hawke family. You didn't even talk about yourself and Otilia." Tony glanced at Ottilia who was hugging Ashley and sharing ice cream in the distance. Leah reminded Tommy seriously.

Tommy looked at Tony: "You were specifically told to talk to me by your girlfriend or dad? It should be Ashley who is very close to Otilia. Dad won't let you talk to me about marriage so soon. .”

Ashley is now Otilia's close comrade-in-arms and best friend. Although she owns a house in Hawaii, considering that Tony spends most of his time on the ship, Ashley also lives in the United States most of the time. When Tony returned to the Third Fleet headquarters in Hawaii, he rushed over to reunite.

When he was in the United States, he basically stayed with Otilia. In order to keep Ashley busy, Otilia opened a fast food restaurant with Ashley near the World Trade Center in New York. Ashley, who works in a fast food restaurant, is very familiar with this business. By becoming the only designated restaurant and takeout supplier at the KeyBank headquarters in New York, although it will not make a lot of money, it can at least make Ashley's life more fulfilling.

"Not yet. Maybe in two or three years, I can relax for many years. At that time, I will consider my family, tell Ashley, and then privately stand up for her best friend Otilia. I will ask Jim to cancel KeyBank later. Ordering contracts between the headquarters and the restaurant,” Tommy said with a smile.

Tony shook his head speechlessly: "How could a guy like you be born in the Hawke family? Tommy, God must have arranged for us to influence you."

"Maybe God thinks that you and dad are too embarrassed, so he sent me to teach you a lesson. Look at the Old Testament of the Bible, and then look at those mythological books. You will find that God or God has no shame. Although I like to quote the Bible to make others feel my piety, in my heart I actually feel that there is no difference between those gods and fucking Indians. As long as they are of the opposite sex, they can’t help but come @##, mother, daughter, Monsters, goats and even stones... You keep saying that you believe in God, but you completely ignore that God needs you to be as shameless as him. Look at the high-ranking bishops and popes in the church, why they can become God's spokespersons in the world, because they are shameless, They are not only @#￥, but also male children. In the eyes of God, kind people are not worthy of becoming believers, but only worthy of being called lambs."

"If mom or dad were here at this moment, you would be dead, Tommy." Tony frowned slightly when he heard Tommy's rebellious words: "Don't say such things in front of other people again."

"You don't need to remind me. I know that. I know you won't report me to your father, so I said such things to you." Tommy said.

"So, did God and those gods really mess with rocks?" Tony paused for a moment, and finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked curiously.

Then, the two brothers laughed at the same time, and Tommy's mobile phone just rang on the table. After Tommy answered the call, his father's voice came from the other side of the phone: "Son, I, Logan and your father-in-law Zhu Leanne, we are in a little trouble now."

"Are you kidding? If Mr. Farrell was with you, you wouldn't know what trouble is in New York. He invited you and Mr. Hull to go to those high-end bars in New York to have fun?" Tommy said in a somewhat confused tone when he heard his father's voice. The anxious phone caller asked a little strangely.

He thought the three old guys were bored, so his father-in-law, who was a local slut, took his father and Tony's father-in-law to those high-end places to spend money. The trouble in his eyes was probably because he had never seen those lavish people and exaggerated prices before. .

"Uh... it's just the other way around. In fact, it's my treat." Dad said on the phone.

Tommy became more and more sure of his guess, and said to Colin confidently: "Don't worry about the price, Dad, just order drinks and treat everyone to a few rounds of drinks generously. It doesn't matter at all, even if Mr. Farrell won't do it for you." You pay the bill generously, and I’m happy to pay the bill for you.”

"It's all the other way around. It's not just my treat, the location is not a high-end bar. It's a place I found that is similar to the small bar opened by Warwick Keith. Moreover, this doesn't seem to be New York, although it is very close to New York. , but it’s a place called Hoboken in fucking New Jersey, which is about the same as Warwick.” Father Colin continued.

Tommy frowned slightly, his father invited his father-in-law to drink in a cheap bar like that? The most exaggerated thing is that his father-in-law actually agreed? How could he agree? Others don't know, but he still knows it very well. After all, the private detective has been with his father-in-law for so long, and he knows many habits clearly. Not to mention drinking in cheap bars, he doesn't even eat cheap fast food. :

"Then you don't have to worry about running out of money to pay the bill. Even if you and Mr. Hull don't bring enough change, Mr. Farrell can buy the entire Pauper's Bar by taking off his watch. Don't worry, he will definitely be able to handle it."

Colin said with some embarrassment: "I'm pretty sure he can't handle it. That guy is with me now, surrounded by a whole bar. Your father-in-law has already considered which hospital in New York to treat trauma, and he This hellish place has a nickname that is exclusive to him: the pert-butt Jewish vampire who comes to Hoboken to steal food, drink, money, and sex.”

"What did you ask him to do? Although he does have some Jewish ancestry, I am sure that he will not do what you said to those low-level drunkards, because he will feel that there is no need to waste his IQ to deceive those unpalatable and difficult-to-eat people. Poor guy who drinks ugly and has no money.”

"It's nothing. He just said that he was the boss of Hailine Shipping Industry. He generously invited everyone to drink, and then everyone was angered. Now they want to show him some color."
