Obviously, he is also closely watching the recent election trends. Newt Gingrich, who initially did not expect much of Bush Jr., who was far behind in the polls, was quite excited today.

After hugging Simon enthusiastically, the two walked to the court together. Gingrich couldn't wait to mention the news of the past two days: "Simon, I noticed the topic of abortion suddenly raised in the media, or, can I boldly assume that you ...I mean, the Westeros system is happy with this?"

Simon took a cue from Carmen Keith, who was the caddie himself, and waved it to test the feel, while saying: "This is a very dangerous assumption, Newt, in the political circle, you should understand , most of the news events happened quite serendipitously, like the Watergate scandal that year.”

The Democrats cannot admit it, and the Republicans, except for a few insiders, will firmly deny Simon to others.

It's still a question of steps.

As for someone who would definitely refuse to get off the donkey down the slope, Simon couldn't do anything about it.

Newt Gingrich is a smart guy who didn't get to the bottom of it. After all, in the political circle, one of the things that everyone is best at and must be good at is talking nonsense with their eyes open.

A person who can't lie can't be a good politician.

The topic turned to daily life. Gingrich deliberately talked about watching "The Conjuring 4: Reaper" with his wife last night, and then praised the original "The Conjuring 3: Blood Moon".

Obviously quite certain about something.

Entering the court, in addition to Carmen, other entourages were sent away from afar. Simon threw the tee shot, looking at the white dots flying far away, the topic turned to the right track: "Newt, you should understand that you are not the Bush family. Core."

Newt Gingrich has served as a member of the House of Representatives for 20 years, and he has played a pivotal role in the Republican Party. However, the Georgia-born politician has little to do with the Bush family. If it weren't for the dark transaction between Simon and the Bush family, it would have been impossible for the other party to get the position of secretary of state, the first secretary of the White House cabinet.

Newt Gingrich, of course, knew this, hit a ball seriously, walked with Simon to the next hitting point, and said: "Simon, I have had a good chat with George on several contacts this year, I believe that everyone will get along well in the future..."

Having said this, Gingrich smiled and continued: "And, even if you can't fit into George's team, it's okay, we're all in one group, aren't we?"

Gingrich's clear statement made Simon very satisfied.

Smiling tacitly, Simon said, "So, for the future direction of work, Newt, do you have your own plan?"

"I've thought about it a bit," Gingrich nodded. "The secretary of state is in charge of foreign affairs, and George's team, combined with their own interests, will definitely focus on the Middle East. If George can trust me, I will try my best to cooperate. On the contrary, I will not force intervention, but will focus on East Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa, which are marginal areas in the eyes of most people in Washington, Simon, what do you think?”

Simon just thinks, chatting with smart people really won't be too brainy.

Forcing a secretary of state to go online, Simon was not aimless.

The federal secretary of state is equivalent to the minister of foreign affairs and is in charge of foreign affairs, but at the same time, the secretary of state is also the first minister of the president's cabinet, controlling the largest department of the State Department under the White House, and has a very large authority.

With this authority, Simon's main goal is to achieve the further expansion of the Westeros system on a global scale through the official power of the Federation, in coordination with his various overseas layouts, not just economic layouts.

Compared with the corporate positioning of the Westeros system, the official status of the world's first and only superpower is both justifiable and more powerful.

On the other hand, following Simon’s wealth growth path, the global expansion strategy of the Westeros system is still to try not to touch the already formed interest pattern, such as Western Europe, to avoid unnecessary conflicts, but to open up new areas.

This also means that the main direction of the overseas expansion of the Westeros system can only be various marginal areas in the eyes of the mainstream of the West.

The reason why Newt Gingrich was able to put it in one sentence must have been thought carefully in private.

This does not require too much nonsense from Simon, and the two quickly entered into a more detailed discussion.

According to Simon's plan, after the change of office, the first thing Gingrich will do is to reorganize and strengthen the diplomatic ties between the Federation and various peripheral countries.

Before that, especially in the decade after the end of the Cold War, while becoming the world's No. 1 hegemon, because it no longer needs to compete with the Soviet Union for global influence, the United States' diplomatic strategy has always tended to shrink. For some inconspicuous small countries, even direct The embassy was abolished.

As for the most marginal regions such as Africa, in addition to the continuous entry of large enterprises to plunder resources, many other things are ignored.

The Rwandan genocide in history actually happened in this state of indifference. Otherwise, if the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union is still there, neither side will let the tragedy happen for their own interests, or even for purely reputational considerations.

Simon wants to change this state of contraction.

Then, it is to promote the economic development of these regions by means of investment or aid. In doing so, in fact, the economies of all these regions are deeply tied to the United States.

In the past ten or twenty years, the United States has neither the motivation nor the strength to do so again, but now it is still 2000. Everything in this country is at its peak. As long as the direction is determined, the resources that can be used are astronomical.

On the other hand, these peripheral regions have developed and possessed a certain economic strength, which can not only become a market for high-end federal goods, but also provide the United States with countless low-end industrial products and raw materials for production.

Moreover, because the business targets are mainly small countries, even if they achieve a certain development, their strength is destined to be far from being able to compete with the United States. Coupled with the deep economic tying, these countries are destined to become the economic vassals of the United States for a longer time.

All in all, a win-win situation to a certain extent, rather than a one-sided continuous blood-sucking, or even squeezing through war, is the key to the longer-term maintenance of federal hegemony.

As the main driving force behind all this, the Westeros system will also be the biggest beneficiary of it.

Starting at nine o'clock in the morning, the golf meeting between Simon and Gingrich lasted for three hours. If there were no other arrangements at noon, Simon would like to have lunch with each other and continue to discuss more details.

However, everything that needs to be said has already been pointed out.

Newt Gingrich had some inclinations. After Simon clarified his more detailed ideas, he could only admire the rise of the super tycoon again. It was not accidental, and he said that he would organize today's discussions into a formal written plan as soon as possible. in order to implement it quickly after the change of office.
