Chapter 279: Secret service as bodyguard

Nature's strange secret has shaped the beautiful earth.

People live there and build on them, and create countless works of man-made art with their own hands, but they are just decorations above nature.

There are always places and things that human hands cannot create.

Lanai is a place rarely treated by humans.

Lanai Island, the sixth largest island in Hawaii, has an area of ​​365.2 square kilometers. It is also known as the Island of Lanai, which means "land of conquest".

The climate on the island is dry and rainfall is low. Once the king of Hawaii built a palace here.

Hawaii is the largest pineapple-producing state in the United States, and most pineapples are grown on Lanai.

All pineapple pieces are produced by the world's largest pineapple producer - Dole Company. Founder Touré bought this deserted island for $1.1 million in 1922 and spent millions to turn it into a pineapple garden, build a jetty, dig a water spring and eventually establish the city of Lanai. Changed the look of the porch.

There are about two thousand residents on the island and these residents are also employees of the pineapple company.

Responsible for preserving and harvesting pineapples on the island. 98% of the island is privately owned and the remaining 2% is owned by the Hawaii state government. Abel liked this island so much that he used 0.6% of News Corporation's shares to gain ownership of the island.

According to Abel's idea, he wanted to build many buildings on this island.

In fact, on the island there is already Lanai City, a small town with more than 2,000 residents.

The small town's population lives mainly on local pineapple farming and tourism. Basically, they listen to whoever owns the island. Abel intends to turn this beautiful big island into his own resort.

The first step is to expand the size of Lanai, Hawaii Airport.

At least let this airport start parking Boeing 747s.

This job is not difficult. There is an airport on the island but the area is not large. It is enough to simply expand the runway and increase the surface area of ​​the airport.

Next, he plans to build his own mansion in the form of a palace outside Lanai city.

In the future, this place will become a resort for him and Elizabeth's angels.

This is the new garden he chose for Elizabeth's angels.

As for the original number 1, Huangdian 13 Street, New York, in the future it will be used as a dormitory for Isa Company in New York. This hostel is so high-class and luxurious.

It far exceeds the dormitories of 99.999999% of companies in the world.

This is also one of the physical conditions that help Isha attract the world's biggest models.

You can live for free in one of the most beautiful, luxurious and expensive villas in the world.

Wasn't that the inspiration for the wrestling girls at Vanity Fair? Furthermore, in July, something more important for Abel also happened.

It was July 16 that Abel was officially elected one of the 75 directors of the National Rifle Association in New York.

The next day, he was successfully re-elected and became the new president of the National Rifle Association.

This means that his identity in this kingdom and the crown he wears are one more crown.

This also makes DC bigwigs pay more attention to him. Politicians need voters' votes more than rich people and corporations.

Who can ignore the more than 5 million votes of the National Rifle Association?

Even if his presidency was largely honorable.

But he could be recognized by the people and elected president, which also symbolized his status or influence in the National Rifle Association.

This also means that he still has influence over the association. This is very valuable for regular customers.

July 18.

New York University's Manhattan campus is closed.

In the United States, three common systems are semester, quarter, and semester.

New York University uses the Semester system. This system is applied by most American universities. The semester is divided into spring and fall and each semester is approximately 16-18 weeks in length.

The spring semester usually lasts from mid-January to late May or early June and the fall semester from late August or early September to mid-December.

Thus, from the end of May to the end of August, university students using this system will enjoy a summer vacation lasting about three months.

Students can choose to continue their studies during this time or participate in an internship, travel, or return to their home country. Little Laura will actually be able to go on vacation in early June.

This means that she herself is a transfer or college preparatory student who has not finished high school.

I couldn't keep up with the progress of the course, so I didn't choose to take a leave of absence and continued studying the course.

To accompany him, Li Xinyu did not go home during the vacation and the two studied together at school.

Finally, this time even teachers will be on leave. Middle school students who have chosen the one and a half month advanced course, even if they do not want to quit at that time, are not required to attend the course.

As soon as little Laura went on vacation, Abel invited her to go to Europe.

"What to do in Europe?" Little Laura was very excited when she learned she could go to Europe.

There is no woman in this world who does not like to travel.

From people like Little Laura to ordinary working class white collar women. Consumerism reigns supreme, modernism comes with it, and there are stylish girls everywhere.

"Go on vacation, go on vacation." Abel smiled and said: "By the way, I will do something."

Little Laura means business is your main goal.

Of course, she wouldn't spoil the scene like that, but she smiled and jumped into his arms and offered to give him a sweet kiss.

The two decided to leave for Europe on July 20.

First stop is London. In fact, that's exactly what little Laura thought.

This time, Abel's trip to Europe was mainly for business.

He has two things to do.

The first is to see if there is anything to invest in Europe.

Especially in media-related fields such as newspapers, TV channels, etc. Another thing is that time is almost up.

Soros has been preparing the plan for more than a month and estimates that the plan will soon be implemented in the Kingdom of Norway.

How could Abel miss such a big event?

He wanted to personally go to Europe to sit down, and if necessary, he would even personally go to the Kingdom of Norway.

Soros wanted to eat meat, but Abel wanted meat from his bowl even more!

To achieve this, it is not very practical to sit in the United States and place orders remotely. You must travel to Europe in person.

Furthermore, Europe and the United States, the North American and European economies have always been difficult to separate.

Once the United States expands, if he does not extend his tentacles to Europe, he will truly regret his identity as an American.

JFK International Airport, New York. This airport is located in Queens, New York and was originally named New York International Airport. Later it was changed to its current name to commemorate the former commander who opened the brain.

As the name suggests, this is also the departure and arrival point for most international flights in New York.

The morning of July 20.

A line of all-black vehicles entered Kennedy International Airport. After the car stopped, many people got out of the car. This group of people is exactly Abel and the others.

Coming to England this time, Abel brought four King Kongs. In addition, he also brought more than 20 security guards from the rock.

Yesterday, his advisory team and another security team from the rock left even earlier than expected.

Best of all, because baby Laura will be there too. The secret service also sent people, only five people, the captain was Marcus, Catherine was also inside.

Little Laura did not come with Abel in the morning.

She hasn't lived with Abel yet.

She was a Secret Service agent and later drove two cars.

As soon as she came down, she smiled and kissed Abel. Abel looked at Marcus, the very understanding secret police captain, and gently said to Abel:

"The matter has been resolved. The certificate has been issued. Mr. Smith can rest assured."

Hearing her clear answer, Abel laughed directly.

Abel patted Marcus on the shoulder and said directly in front of little Laura: "You are always welcome at Rock Security."

Hearing Abel say that, Marcus also smiled happily.

The air was momentarily filled with joy. Only Catherine pouted inwardly: corrupt person abuses power!

The reason Catherine thinks so is very simple.

Because Abel had asked Marcus to get certificates issued by the Secret Service for half of Rock Security's employees who were coming to the UK this time.

Confirmed that these people were temporary employees of the secret service. They are abroad and represent the US secret service.

Until the temporary service certification period expires, these people are all members of the secret service!

In other words, half of the security guards visiting the UK this time are wearing secret service vests. Of course, Marcus doesn't have that kind of energy, he's just the captain of the secret police action team.

The real power is little Laura's father, more precisely, her uncle.

With someone on top, Marcus's operation went smoothly. The Secret Service personally made the big deal and approved Marcus' application.

These were Abel's demands, and the reason was always his damn insecurity. While staying in the United States, he hopes to take more than 20 people with him.

Now I want to go abroad, not to a place that is not mine.

Of course, you can bring as many people as possible.

He thought that simply mobilizing enough manpower was not enough, he also wanted to give his men a vest.

With little Laura's relationship there's no need to be stupid. He simply turned the rock's guards into temporary Secret Service agents.

The name was announced to the public to protect little Laura. After all, she is the granddaughter of the former commander and the niece of the current commander.

She could benefit from such treatment, but it's not too far-fetched.

Now I'm exaggerating a bit, no payoff to the Secret Service. For the benefit of the White House owner and for the possibility of handling the revolving door in the future.

Of course, the Secret Service was happy to assist him. No matter what, it's going abroad, so if anything happens, there's no need to fear domestic public opinion.

The situation was such that Abel took more than 30 "employees" and "agents" of the US secret service to London.

It would be better if nothing happened. If there is a problem, the name of the US Secret Service will be displayed. This name is the best protection for Abel abroad.

These little Lauras don't know that yet.

She thought Abel brought her here because he was on a business trip and secondly, he was actually on vacation.

The girl is very happy. A group of people, etc., set foot on Abel's brand new Boeing 747.

Does not take into account time zone and time difference factors.

The plane took off at nine in the morning and arrived in London a little after three in the afternoon.

The distance between New York and London is not far and a normal passenger flight takes about six to seven hours.

Compared to the vast Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean is ultimately smaller. "Boom...hiss..."

Accompanied by the hoarse roar of the turbo engine and the sound of the pulleys rolling quickly.

The giant body of the Boeing 747 slowly landed at London Heathrow International Airport.

Heathrow International Airport is the main airport in London, the capital of the United Kingdom.

At the same time, this is also a major global aviation center. It is not only the busiest airport in Europe but also one of the busiest in the world. At this time, he could be ranked third in the world.

The first and second places in the world are Kai Tak International Airport on Hong Kong Island and John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.

When Abel and his group stepped down the elevator, the corner of his mouth smiled and he took a deep breath.

"This is London after all, the heart of empire where the sun never sets."

Abel sighed and muttered to himself. Little Laura followed Abel and also looked around. This is not her first time in London.

Her parents took her out many times.

But this was actually my first time going to London with someone other than my parents.

In addition, I always accompany my boyfriend, fiancé and future husband. For baby Laura, it was a new, exciting and exciting experience.

"Let's go. Go back to the hotel first." Abel looked up at the sky.

When we left in the morning, the sky in New York was blue, sunny, and the weather was beautiful.

After flying over London, the sky here was overcast, full of dark clouds and it looked like it was about to rain. "I don't like the weather in London." » he said to little Laura, reaching out towards the foot of the plane's ladder.

Little Laura smiled and said: "London is like this. There are 365 days a year and at least 300 days of snow or rain. The weather is already very good like this.

Abel had also heard about the bad weather in London, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.

Three hundred sixty-five days, three hundred days of snow and rain. Is this where people stay?

Following Abel's orders, everyone left the airport via the VIP entrance.

Outside the airport, security staff and a team of advisors who had arrived in advance had prepared a convoy of vehicles to welcome Abel and his colleagues.

But the convoy couldn't leave right away because there was still a modified Cadillac STS sedan shipped with the Boeing 747, which was not yet in production.

This time in London, Abel wants to buy a Cadillac Fleetwood like George Bush's Army One. In this way, he was able to pretend to be a tiger and let the British officials see the body of the surprised tiger.

After that, he thought that he would not come into contact with official figures here, and Fleetwood did have a bit of a high status.

It's like driving a Hongqi L7 that still has its flagpole to Southeast Asian countries in the 22nd century.

So he abandoned the idea and simply took the modified Cadillac STS he drove most often to New York.

After waiting about half an hour, Abel's Cadillac STS finally appeared. Placing the temporary license plate that had been arranged a long time ago, the Cadillac STS arrived in the middle of the group consisting of rented Rolls-Royce cars, and the whole group began moving towards the finish line.

Sitting in the only American car in the convoy, Abel observed everything that was happening outside and the city through the window.

Feng shui takes turns, there is no eternal lord in the world, the ancient empire on which the sun never sets is now in decline.

Looking at the buildings that kept appearing in his sight, Abel silently sighed.

Just as he thought, England was truly in decline. John Bull, who once ruled the world and was very optimistic, now looks like an old man.

But proud John Bull still refused to admit it, still immersed in the glory of the past and refusing to wake up.

More than sixty years ago, unscrupulous art students spread across Europe, defeating the Allied forces.

But in the end, due to the end of the United States, German tanks did not cross the English Channel and landed on the British peninsula.

But World War II not only drained the spirit of Europe but also nearly drained John Bull of his blood. Together with the huge red empire at that time, it never gave up its ambition to advance westward, which reduced the energy of England, one of the leaders of Europe.

Then came the eighties.

The Falklands War tore off John Bull's last fig leaf.

Britain's weak contacts with countries around the world.

Just before that, the global empire began to collapse. So even though more than 60 years have passed since World War II, the British economy is still in recession and decline to the point of having to recognize the old younger brother as the older brother.

Feng Shui is turning!

If there is no accident, it will take another ten or twenty years.

What kind of salad? Prime Minister and Prime Minister Ah San are about to appear on stage one after another.

That's when stir sticks really declined.

Unlike today's London, it still has a bit of an industrial look and feel to it. But it was more valuable to Abel.

In some areas, investment and monitoring are necessary.

If England were moved twenty years later, Abel would not come.

Just as Abel was thinking, the car stopped at the entrance to the Savoy Hotel in London.

The Savoy Hotel is located on Bank Street in Westminster, London and opened on 6 August 1889. It was the first luxury hotel in the UK and also the first modern luxury hotel to have electric lighting, lifts, bathrooms in most rooms and an uninterrupted supply of hot and cold water.

Too many famous people have stayed here.

Like Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbra Streisand, etc., these celebrities have stayed at this hotel.

The appearance of this hotel is a bit low, even though it has only 5 floors, it doesn't look modern at all.

But it is very close to the financial center of London and security is very good. If there are no traffic jams nearby, you can reach any famous landmark in London in 15 minutes.

If there's a traffic jam, there's no way.

Now we are in the 21st century.

The Savoy Hotel may not be the best hotel.

But its limitations are the highest. The reason Abel lives here is not because it is so high.

Rather it was arranged by David Jones.

As the manager of Abel's life, David arrived here two days ago.

David arrived a day earlier than the group of consultants and another group of stone guards.

After careful research and comparison, David finally felt that the Savoy Hotel was the most suitable model for him. The reason is simple, the Savoy hotel only has a five-story building.

Abel and the group that Abel accompanied this time could completely book the entire Savoy hotel.

Book hotels independently,

This way, privacy and security are also relatively guaranteed.

Abel felt that David's suggestion was good so he chose this hotel.

The convoy stopped at the gate. David led the hotel management, as well as the stone security staff performing security work and selected hotel waiters, greeting Abel and others with a respectful welcome. important. Abel led the way into the hotel lobby.

It's been a while and the sun seems to be setting on London.

Abel always felt like the sun set earlier in London than in New York.

This is believed to be related to the bad weather often seen in London.

Luckily, it's now past July and the spot of direct sunlight is moving north and will soon reach the Tropic of Cancer. So at this time, the days are long and the nights are short in the Northern Hemisphere, giving Abel and the others more time to move freely.

Before the sun completely set, Abel also took excited little Laura out.
