Chapter 42: The Clues of the Black Hand

Unlike the historical development in another time and space, in this time and space, the historical development after 49 years in the early twentieth century is somewhat strange.

The independence movement broke out in the French colonies in Vietnam. In order to safeguard their own interests and dominance in Vietnam, the French sent a large number of troops to Vietnam to suppress those opponents after World War II. At the same time, they also established a Vietnamese puppet regime.

So far, Vietnam has split into two parts, the opposition-controlled area is called "North Vietnam", and the puppet regime supported by France is "South Vietnam".

This war of independence lasted for decades, and the French were deeply dragged into the quagmire of this war, unable to extricate themselves.

From the outbreak of the 56-year war to the present 2015, this war has been fought for almost 60 years. France has spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and lost a lot of young soldiers' lives, so that the country's economy is now in a slump. .

And the constant defeats on the battlefield, as well as the constant condemnation by public opinion in the world, also made the French authorities feel ashamed.

Now, a few days ago, the North Vietnamese army once again severely damaged the joint army formed by France and South Vietnam, and wiped out most of the living forces. In addition, the anti-war voices of the people in France are rising, so the rule of France in Vietnam is already in jeopardy.

As long as you are not an idiot, you can basically see that France has reached the end of the road, and it is impossible to maintain the situation in Vietnam.

Withdrawal and armistice are already the only way out for France.

But at this time, the French side actually sent someone to contact her, hoping to get a loan. Anne felt that the French were too naive, and at the same time they thought of themselves too simply.

Obviously, after the French got a loan from themselves, this is the rhythm of preparing to repay their debts.

As for what she said, "I hope the loan will continue to be used for the Vietnam War", it was just used to fool herself, and Annie would never take it seriously.

Only a fool would believe such words.

Is Annie a fool?

Obviously not, so she wouldn't believe it at all.

At the same time, France's military defeat in Vietnam will also lead to the resignation of the current French government. Once such a thing happens, it will be a certainty for the next government to renege on its debts.

Anne, who knew the virtues of the French, of course would not lend money to the French side.

Although she has many businesses in France, she doesn't have to worry about the other party making trouble.

After all, if she was in trouble, Anne would get angry and file for bankruptcy, causing a large number of people to lose their jobs, which would be enough to cause headaches for the French.

"Okay, ma'am, I know what to do."

Although Nord is a housekeeper, he will also help Annie convey and handle some business matters, so after Anne told Nord how to deal with these matters, Nord naturally knew how to explain to others.

After some phone calls, Nord conveyed Anne's meaning to the relevant supervisor, and the two matters were considered to be settled.

Nord suddenly remembered another thing, so he said to Annie who was flipping through the document: "Miss, there is some news from the Yasuda family, but it is somewhat different from our previous guess."

Suspecting that behind the deaths of direct members of the family, there is a manipulator behind the scenes, so Anne ordered Nord to monitor the biggest suspect, the Yasuda family from Japan's industrial giants.

It has been more than two months since I ordered this matter, and now Nord finally got some information.

Indeed, it is impossible to make any progress in monitoring such forces in a short period of time. There was some news after more than two months, which is already very good in Anne's opinion.

"Oh, what's the situation?"

Annie stopped to look through the documents when she heard this, and looked up at her old housekeeper.

Nord frowned, with a serious expression on his face: "According to our reliable sources,

Yasuda is probably only one of the participants, but there are other people behind the scenes, and according to the observation of the people we sent, it is likely to be the Soviets, because the Yasuda family has very close contact with the Soviets. "

Soviets?

The Yasuda family and the Soviets joined forces to conspire against the Whiston family?

Annie fell into deep thought, beginning to think about the possibility of such a thing.

After Annie thought about it, she felt that this matter was really uncertain.

The Japanese and the Soviets are equally greedy, and it is not impossible to use this unconventional method to deal with the Whiston family.

However, Annie couldn't figure it out, what could the Soviets get?

Suddenly, Anne thought of a person she had forgotten, which made her whole body shake.

"Uncle Nord, do you remember Morozov?"

Annie mentioned a person's name, and at the same time, the look on her face was a little uncomfortable.

Hearing his lady mention this Morozov, the old butler Nord recalled it for a while, nodded solemnly and said: "I remember, one of your suitors back then was just that this guy pursued you for an impure purpose, so Miss You didn't show color to him, just ignored him."

After reminiscing, the old housekeeper Nord remembered the second-generation official from the Soviet Union, a guy with a greasy head and a smooth face.

For this Morozov, the old housekeeper Nord didn't have a good impression at all.

"Yes, this guy pursued me, but he wanted to use this method to use our Whiston family to launder money after he caught up with me, and at the same time transfer his father's huge wealth from corruption in the country.

I saw through this guy's plan at that time, so I didn't give him a good look at all, and this guy even wanted to use force once, but he didn't succeed. "

After thinking of Morozov, Anne's complexion became very bad.

"I heard that his father has been promoted now?" Annie asked with a flickering expression.

Nord nodded: "It seems so, his father has now been promoted to the head of the KGB European Intelligence Division."

Annie narrowed her eyes, thinking to herself.

"If this guy's father gets promoted, then maybe it's this guy who is behind the scenes against him. After all, Morozov's character is not very good, and he belongs to the kind of person who must report his flaws.

At the beginning, he wanted to use force on himself, although he failed, but he also suffered revenge from his own family, so with his temperament, when his father gained a higher authority, it is not impossible for him to get revenge again.

Even, working together with the Japanese is also a mutual benefit. "

The more Annie thought about it, the more she felt that it had something to do with Morozov.

It's just that with the strength in my hands right now, I'm still powerless to deal with the children of high-ranking Soviet officials.

"Check! I want to know whether this matter has anything to do with Morozov. Don't relax on the Japanese side, just keep following."

When the Soviets were involved, Anne had basically already made up her mind that this matter would definitely be inseparable from Morozov's involvement.

It's just that she doesn't have definite evidence now, so she can only ask the old housekeeper Nord to continue to investigate.

But what if it is found out?

The European director of the KGB, this is someone I can't afford to provoke.

With such an old man, even if Morozov really made guesses about the Whiston family, could Annie still go to the Soviet Union to settle accounts with him?

Obviously this is impossible.

If not, Annie will disappear without a trace as soon as she arrives in the Soviet Union.

Although people like Anne are rich and have status in the eyes of ordinary people, they also have a huge network of relationships in Europe and the United States, and belong to the upper class.

But Annie herself deeply understands that a person of her status is nothing in the eyes of the dignitaries in the Soviet Union.

Even here in the United States, there are many, many people with more status and wealth than Annie, let alone the whole world.

But Anne still wanted to know, and to know the truth of the matter.

Because she is not reconciled!

After talking about this topic, the atmosphere in the car became a little silent.

Fortunately, the car had already arrived at the destination, the luxury shopping street in Beverly Hills. At the same time, the excited Coco broke the dull atmosphere, causing Annie to turn her attention back.

"Whoa! Whoa!"

Ke Ke looked at those shops through the car window and let out bursts of shouts that she didn't know what they meant, and she didn't know whether she was happy or admiring.

Beverly Hills is a place with a great reputation all over the world, because there are many big stars, rich people, and famous entrepreneurs from all over the world living here.

Because these people lived here, it also brought the reputation of this place relatively.

mansion!

Famous cars!

celebrity!

Beauty!

This is the associated image that pops up in most people's minds when the word 'Beverly' is commonly mentioned.

It is precisely because of the relationship between these people that some world-famous big brands have also come here to set up exclusive stores. In addition to being used by these celebrities, they can also use this to enhance their brand value and reputation.

Here, you can buy all kinds of expensive men's and women's clothing, jewelry and jewelry. It's just that the price is not affordable for ordinary people.

An ordinary-looking T-shirt may sell for thousands of dollars or even tens of thousands of dollars here.

Yes, you're not mistaken.

A T-shirt also costs thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars!

The price is simply outrageous!

Moreover, the shops here do not bargain. If you bargain, it will look a little different and you will be laughed at.

It has to be said that the Beverly Hills shopping street in this time and space is more weird and different than that in another time and space.

But the taste of the rich is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. People really buy these outrageously priced products. Don’t you think it’s any wonder.

As long as you have money here, you are God!

oh no!

Even God is inferior to you!

woman! men! Middle-aged men and women! Elderly or even children's goods, you can buy here by waving a dollar, and it is different and unique from what is sold in ordinary mall department stores.

Of course, the price of these unique products will definitely shock ordinary people after seeing them.

But the shops here are not for ordinary people, but for the wealthy people in Beverly Hills mansions.

Even, some big brands set up stores here, not to make money at all, but just to have a store here, to prove their strength or other considerations.

So you don't have to worry, these shops have no business, it's a total worry.

"Uncle Nord, let's stop talking about troublesome things from now on. I hope I can have a good mood today and play with this child all morning."

Annie, who got out of the car with Coco in her arms, tried her best to adjust her emotions, and at the same time reminded her old housekeeper.

"Okay, miss, I also hope you have a happy morning." The old housekeeper bowed slightly in response.

After tidying up her mood, Annie looked left and right, and then chose a store that specializes in children's clothing, and walked straight over with an excited Coco in her arms.

The old housekeeper Nord followed closely behind, and the bodyguards got out of the car one after another, and followed not far behind the two, not so close.

At this time, Kim Hyun-tae had already met the principal at Monica Public High School, and started his entrance examination...
