Rebirth of America, this is my time

Three hours later, Don Valentine and Nolan Bushnell sat across from each other in a large flat in downtown Santa Clara. On the coffee table in front of them were cans of Coca-Cola and glass bottles of Budweiser. , although the containers are different, they all have the same characteristic, that is, they are full of water drops.

I don't have anything else here. If you want to drink something else, I'll call someone to deliver it now. Don Valentine, who was leaning on the sofa, crossed his legs and held up Budweiser as a simple gesture.

These are enough, I can't drink anything else right now. Nolan Bushnell grabbed the Coke and squeezed it with his index finger. There was a crisp sound, the pull tab came off, and the carbon water was everywhere.

He raised his head and poured heavily, and the sound of tons and tons was like an abyss, swallowing everything.

The next second, Nolan Bushnell tightened his fingers, and light brown liquid suddenly spurted out.

Oh! Sxxt! Why the hell am I so unlucky?

If the previous failure was due to product deficiencies, the game Arkanoid is indeed not as good and amazing as Pac-Man, but this failure is not my problem at all, right?

The new generation home game console is already the most perfect product at the moment!

From CPU to on-board storage! From tape cartridges to first-release games!

I've done everything to the best of my ability!

“But even so, people won’t buy my machine???”

MFxxk!!!

After roaring here, he shook his arms vigorously.

The deformed can hit the ground hard and let out a loud whine.

Although the light brown fat house happy water spilled everywhere because of Nolan Bushnell, Don Valentine didn't care. He took a few sips of Budweiser and said with a smile: People Refuse to buy your machine? Oh—Nolan—didn’t you cause this problem yourself?”

“Your biggest failure is not that the product is not done well.”

Instead, we launched the product when it wasn't immediately available.

This action of yours has given Ethan Jones some breathing space!

Because as far as I know, he only saw the Star Wars movie at the beginning of this year? If nothing else, it should be after you announced the new generation?

The game Star Wars is a completely rushed product!

If you don't launch the product first and then sell the product, or if the time between launching the product and selling the product is not that long...

I don't think the Destiny Game can pose any threat to you!

Nolan Bushnell was stunned when he heard such words.

The next second, the slightly swollen face suddenly surged with energy and blood!

Oh—Dawn—I'm even angrier when I talk about it!

He waved his hands and yelled: If it weren't for those idiots from Milova, how could I have released new products in advance? If Milova hadn't created a shitty Apollo in a high-profile way, it would have made Warner think We are already lagging behind others, and we are eager to catch up on the lagging behind in publicity, so I will definitely not show the new generation to the public at the beginning of this year!”

“Because in my plan, the exhibition in Chicago is the best time!”

“And a few months is enough time for us to buy media for marketing!”

Nolan Bushnell became extremely angry when he mentioned this.

And how could Don Valentine not know this fact?

He smiled and said, So you are the scapegoat?

Of course! Nolan Bushnell shouted, I'm just the scapegoat!

The scapegoat for those incompetent executives at Warner!

The sharp roar is like a sharp knife, able to cut through all the injustices above the head.

The sound of breathing was like a shadow spreading from bottom to top, dragging Bushnell into the abyss.

After staring at Don Valentine for a long time, the guy's body gradually became rickety, Forget it, it doesn't make any sense to say this now.

He leaned back, sighed and smiled: Even if time can be turned back, I don't think I can withstand Warner's pressure. Moreover, even if I can really hold it in, there are idiots like Milohua...

Ethan Jones will still be the same as now, trampling us to the ground.

Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about you.

When I learned that something happened to Ethan Jones's factory in Milbidah, I made a guess that the whole thing might have something to do with you? Because Milpidah... is your territory...

Nolan Bushnell smiled at Don Valentine.

But the guy who had grown his hair long in the past year quickly waved his hand and said, Oh Nolan, you can't talk nonsense. Why do you mean Miabida is my territory? You make me look like a mafia!

Isn't it? Nolan Bushnell said: If you are not a Mafia, how could you think of that weird way to disgust Ethan Jones?

Hey! Watch your words! Don Valentine frowned and said unhappily: I just provided some help to some people in need!

Don Valentine gave Nolan Bushnell a serious look.

But with their eyes facing each other, he only lasted less than half a minute before he was defeated.

Okay, Okay... He smiled and said: You are right, I disgusted Ethan Jones, or in other words, I wished he died!

With Don Valentine's narration, Nolan Bushnell finally knew what this guy had done after the two parties separated.

Since Don Valentine sold all of Atari's shares to Warner Bros. two years ago and walked away with cash, he has settled in Santa Clara. Because it is very close to Silicon Valley, he who wants to invest in high-tech industries can easily learn about projects taking place here.

While looking for projects, he did not give up his attention to Ethan Jones. Whether it was a loss of face or a financial loss, it made him want to get back the lost place.

Perhaps because he has been following him, he can be regarded as witnessing the entire growth of Ethan Jones, from the founding of the grassroots team, to riding on the express train of Ralph Bell, to the shocking release of Pac-Man, The fact that he was jumping higher than flying made him very uncomfortable.

But in the process, he also discovered that Ethan Jones bought land in Miapida, Silicon Valley, built a factory, and followed the current employment standards favored by manufacturing companies, using hippies to keep costs down.

When this fact appears——

To be honest, I was very excited at the time. Don Valentine said with a smile: I know that hippies are very unorganized and difficult to manage.

Although they need to integrate into society now, because they can no longer march and sing as before, but at the same time, the real key to managing them is not their inner peace, but integrating with them. As one body.”

Just like you did before, drink with them, play and sing with them, fight grass with them, and race with them. Only if you do all these, will they obey you.

Ethan Jones can't do any of this.

So, from then on, I felt that there would be problems with his factory.

Then I asked my Intel friends to help me pay attention to the situation there.

And then……

“There’s a connection between people who can provide a need and people who want help.”

At this Don Valentine chuckled.

Although he didn't speak clearly, Nolan Bushnell heard clearly.

The so-called connection between the person who can provide the needs and the person in need of help is actually about the trafficker's door-to-door service. When this hint appeared, Don Valentine actually confessed everything to him.

But the method you used hardly caused any blow to Ethan Jones.

Nolan Bushnell opened a can of Coke again and said: It was just chaos there for a few days, and then everything calmed down again. Ethan Jones was not affected in any way.

“Oh oh oh—Nolan, I don’t like hearing what you say.”

Don Valentine shook his head and shouted: Ethan Jones was not affected in any way?

Stop lying to yourself!

You Atari... well, Atari at that time benefited a lot from this incident!

If those guys hadn't caused trouble, Ethan Jones would have been developing a new game after he returned from his work. How could it have been delayed until the beginning of this year?

It's enough to lie to others if it has no impact, but it doesn't work here!

Okay, okay, okay...

Nolan Bushnell nodded and said: I admit it has an effect, but it's not big...

The successive denials made Don Valentine laugh, Oh Nolan, I know what you mean, you just want to know what my back-up plan is.

Now you just want to hurry up and watch Ethan Jones get unlucky.

And it doesn't hurt to tell you this kind of thing.

Because my original plan is no longer needed and will never be used...

In fact, connecting people who can help with people in need is just the first step in Don Valentine's plan. He mainly wants to see how Ethan Jones will respond to such emergencies.

If Destiny Game sees those hippies as unsettling factors and fires them all, then he will directly backfire and cause those guys who lost their jobs for nothing to start demonstrations. Then contact the media to expose the capitalist style of Destiny Game.

He has already thought of even the media titles——

[The Beat Generation embraced society but was rejected. What is the implication of being expelled from the Game of Destiny]

He wants to make the whole thing a social issue!

Use the pressure of public opinion to ruin the reputation of Destiny Game!

But it's a pity...

He didn't fire all those people. Don Valentine raised his eyebrows and said, They chose the kindest way and just fired those guys who had an impact on the company.

But it doesn't matter, right, because he recruited a new group of people.

It's a ** veteran.

Speaking of this, Don Valentine sighed, with countless regrets appearing on his face, Nolan, to tell you the truth, when I heard the news, I was very excited!

A new plan popped into my head!

Then let those traffickers do it again!

Spread coke among those hippies at Destiny Games!

You may not understand why I do this... It's very simple. When those dealers start spreading coke, the veterans of the Communist Party of China will definitely find out that they will drive them away and take action. And when they threaten those dealers not to come again, ...The matter has been done...

Having said this, Don Valentine paused, stared at Nolan Bushnell with stern eyes, and said seriously word by word: After being threatened by Japanese veterans, those dealers will obey and leave. After a while, Then their families would call the police and report that they were missing.”

Although the disappearance of a few traffickers is considered a trivial matter in our country, it is so small that the California police don't even bother to care about it, because our California and Baja California are connected, and countless traffickers come and go on the border every year, but... …What if those traffickers have criminal records?”

Are those traffickers originally gangsters on the border?

They are originally in the business of carrying human flesh for goods?

With each question, Don Valentine leaned half forward.

After he asked what was on his mind, his protruding eyes showed even more madness.

And that penetrating look made Nolan Bushnell stunned on the spot.

After a long while, he suddenly realized and said loudly: Oh! Sxxt! Isn't the person you are looking for with the special code the leader Ma Zai who is directly related to MXG?

uh-huh.

Nolan Bushnell's awakening puts Don Valentine back in his seat.

He smiled and shrugged, spreading his hands slightly.

The proud look made Nolan Bushnell shudder.

Because he understood what Don Valentine meant!

Some dealers disappear in California, and that's a small thing indeed.

But what if some traffickers who carry goods along the border every day, have criminal records, and may even be related to the leader of MXG have disappeared?

That will definitely attract the attention of the federal government, the media, and even the public!

Because the current America and California under their feet are really attacking Aipin!

In 1970, California enacted the Controlled Drugs Act, which implemented more severe penalties than the federal drug law. They divided drugs into five categories, of which Category I and Category II would be subject to the most severe penalties. Strict controls and penalties were imposed. Three years later, the California Drug Abuse Advisory Committee was established, sending commissioners to study drug issues and providing regular reports to the governor and the legislature.

In the same year (73), the DEA (Federal Enforcement Administration) was also formally established, working with agencies such as Verbole and Customs to severely crack down on drug crimes, and even drug transportation crimes.

In 1975, America also signed a Bilateral Enforcement Agreement with MXG. In 1976, Emperor Zong even visited MXG specifically for this matter, and directly contributed to Operation Condor, which used specific herbicides to destroy the Mexican Sina. Large plantations in Roja, Durango and Chihuahua.

When these facts emerge...

Are there some online dealers who disappeared after coming into contact with Destiny Games?

Then Ethan Jones will definitely be targeted!

It doesn’t matter whether Stanford is behind him or not!

And after the media dug deeper and discovered that Destiny Games had been in contact with dealers before, and later hired a bunch of veterans of the Communist Party because of this...

Nolan Bushnell can even imagine the overwhelming negative media coverage!

Even if they don't add fuel to the fire, the media will think that the dealer's disappearance is related to the game of destiny!

Because in this era, ** veterans have indeed fought back angrily in humiliation!

Even if they are watching the show, Ethan Jones will be very busy!

What if they still set off a wave of fire?

Then we can directly create the title of a Japanese veteran shooting a dealer and Ethan Jones buying a murderer to kill!

As for whether these things are true?

That's not important at all!

Because no matter he is a hippie, a veteran of the Communist Party, or a cable dealer, he is not a good person! In the eyes of the public, the DEBUFF of Destiny Game is simply full!

Then why didn't you do it? Nolan Bushnell asked excitedly: This plan is obviously so perfect, why didn't you implement it?

Is it because there's something wrong with those dealers?

They won't cooperate?

Or is it because you gave them too little money that they refused to disappear completely?

The continuous questions made Don Valentine purse his lips.

He raised his head with a decadent look and drank all the beer in his hand. He said helplessly, No, there is nothing wrong with the dealers I found. They are all small people and are willing to cooperate with me. The money I gave is enough. , there are so many that they can go around in a circle and go to Canada to enjoy life.”

But it's a pity...

“All this because of last year’s election has become a plan that will never be realized!”

Barbara Babcock, who was close to Ethan Jones, went to the DoJ?

MFxxk! Do you know what this means?

It means that if I really do this, even if it attracts the DEA, DoJ will come forward to endorse him, saying that he, Ethan Jones, has nothing to do with those bad things!

If the trouble gets bigger and Ethan Jones's sister goes to Vinton Cerf for help, then the NSA and CIA will definitely come to an end. At that time, can I still run away?

Do not make jokes!

There's no one in the world they can't catch!

Although in order to combat drug crimes, the Federation has set up a special anti-prosecution bureau, which is even on the same level as Ferbole in terms of power. Under special circumstances, it can even apply to mobilize the army for joint suppression, but...

Like Ferbole, they are still affiliated agencies of the DoJ. After the accident, they could indeed investigate the Destiny Game, but DoJ could also ask them not to investigate.

The NSA is even simpler. As the largest intelligence agency in America, they are a subordinate agency of the DoD. They are responsible for collecting and analyzing foreign and domestic communication data. To this end, they employ a bunch of math, computer and linguists. Don Cerf's paper and the TCP/IP protocol... were circulated here two years ago.

When these unexpected events occur...

Don Valentine chose to stop.

He did want to strangle Ethan Jones, but he wasn't stupid.

I wouldn't do anything that would get on fire.

So you let the previous provocation turn into a farce without an ending? Nolan asked.

What if? Don Valentine shrugged.

It seems like this... Nolan smiled helplessly and nodded.

Emotionally, he couldn't accept this fact.

But from the current situation...

Special code! Why is Ethan Jones so lucky!

Nolan Bushnell exploded with expletives, On patents, he has Ralph Bell to help! On hardware, he has MOS and Apple! And while you're staring at him, Barbara Babko Gram and Vinton Cerf transformed from university professors to government officials? And they were also super-high-level special personnel? More importantly, when I was ahead of him in making products, the games he made on the fly could be Leading the way? And with a Star Wars escort?

MFxxk! What nonsense are these special codes!

Normal people have to thank God when they encounter something, but what about him?

Has he ever lost?

Nolan Bushnell was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

He sat there breathing heavily.

And just when he thought that Ethan Jones had become such a mature person that he could no longer look directly at a loser like him, Don Valentine laughed out loud.

He stood up and left the living room.

When he showed up again, he also threw a document in front of Nolan Bushnell.

What is this? Nolan Bushnell asked doubtfully.

Ethan Jones is in big trouble, Don Valentine said with a laugh.

Such an answer made Nolan Bushnell raise his eyebrows.

Because he doesn't know what troubles such a successful Ethan Jones will encounter at the moment.

And when he opened the document and took a closer look...

A picture that came his way made him overjoyed.

Nintendo? he asked in surprise.

Yeah~Nintendo~ Don Valentine nodded and said: Ethan Jones may be very happy now, right? Because Star Wars is selling well in North America, but soon, he will not be happy anymore, because Nintendo It's already infringing on his interests...

At this point, Don Valentine burst out laughing.

What an unlucky boy.

Even if we don't take action, he will still be in trouble.

Note: ① America’s banning actions from 1969 to 1977 were indeed very wild, and they were indeed banning them crazily. Regarding this matter, our country’s Academy of Social Sciences has done special research and published many reports and papers. The issue is very complicated. If we want to talk about it, we have to start with native chickens and Gallic chickens. What is written in the article is actually very one-sided. Yes, just take a look. ②California was also crazy about prohibition in the 1970s, but those who know that period of history may know that California’s craziness must be in quotation marks, because they jumped left and right. On the one hand, they did enact more severe penalties than the federal government in the early 1970s. On the other hand, within a few years, they eliminated hemp again. The reasons for this are very complicated and sensitive. I I won’t go into details. I just want to make a note here to explain why the views of Nolan and Valentine in this chapter are inconsistent with what Sheriff Miaobida said in the previous article. Because in reality, they are jumping around repeatedly, as long as it is beneficial to themselves. , that is actually reasonable. ③The DoD where Vinton Cerf worked was indeed one of the fifteen departments banned that year. DoD does have the authority to control it. The organization back then was called EPIC (Eipaso Intelligence Center), and the NSA was there to analyze intelligence.

PS, no more
