Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 137 A new storm has appeared
Three hours later, Don Valentine and Nolan Bushnell were sitting opposite each other on the flat floor in downtown Santa Clara. On the coffee table in front of them were Coca-Cola in cans and Budweiser in glass bottles. , although the containers are different, they all have the same characteristic, that is, they are covered with water drops.

"I don't have anything else here. If you want something else to drink, I'll call and get someone to deliver it now." Don Valentine, who was leaning on the sofa, crossed his legs and simply gestured with a Budweiser.

"These are enough, I can't drink anything else now." Nolan Bushnell grabbed the Coke and snapped it with his index finger, only to hear a crisp sound, the tab was released, and the carbs were everywhere.

With the head held high, the sound of tons and tons is like an abyss, swallowing everything.

In the next second, Nolan Bushnell tightened his fingers, and the beige liquid burst out suddenly.

"Oh! Sxxt! How the hell am I so unlucky?"

"If the previous failures were due to the lack of products, the game "Brick Breaker" is indeed not as good and amazing as "Pac-Man", but the failure this time is not my problem at all, right?"

"The home game console of the new generation is already the most perfect product!"

"From CPU to onboard storage! From tape cartridges to launch games!"

"I've done everything to the max!"

"But even so, people won't come to buy my machine???"

"MFxxk!!!"

Roaring here, he shook his arm vigorously.

The deformed soda can slammed into the ground, making a slapping sound.

Although the light brown fat house happy water was spilled everywhere because of Nolan Bushnell, Don Valentine didn't care. He took a few sips of Budweiser and said with a smile: "People Refusal to buy your machine? Oh—Nolan—didn't you bring it on yourself?"

"Your biggest failure is not that the product is not done well."

"Instead, it released the product when it wasn't immediately available."

"This behavior of yours gave Ethan Jones some time to breathe!"

"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 completely a rush product!"

"If you don't release the product first and ship the product later, or if you don't have that long gap between launching the product and shipping the product..."

"I think it is impossible for the game of fate to pose any threat to you!"

Hearing such words, Nolan Bushnell was stunned.

In the next second, that slightly swollen face suddenly surged with blood!

"Oh—Don—I'm even angrier about it!"

He waved his hands and shouted: "If it wasn't for Mi Luohua's idiots, how could I release new products in advance? If it wasn't for Mi Luohua's high-profile creation of a shitty Apollo, Warner felt that We have fallen behind and are eager to make up for the lag 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 the interval of a few months is enough for us to buy media for marketing!"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Nolan Bushnell was furious.

And how could Don Valentine not know this fact?
He smiled and said, "So you are the scapegoat?"

"Of course!" Nolan Bushnell exclaimed, "I'm just a scapegoat!"

"The scapegoat of Warner's incompetent executives!"

The sharp roar was like a sharp knife, able to cut through all the injustices on the top of the head.

The panting sound was like the shadow spreading from bottom to top, trying to drag Bushnell into the abyss.

After staring at Don Valentine for a while, the guy's body gradually became bent, "Forget it, it doesn't make any sense to say these now."

He leaned back, sighed and smiled: "Even if time can be turned back, I don't think I can withstand Warner's pressure, and, even if I can really bear it, there are idiots like Mi Luohua..."

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

"Don't talk about it, let's talk about you."

"When I learned that Ethan Jones had an accident in Milbida's factory, I guessed there that the whole thing might have something to do with you? Because Milpida...is your site..."

Nolan Bushnell smiled at Don Valentine.

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

"Isn't it?" said Nolan Bushnell, "If you weren't the Mafia, how could you possibly think of that weird way to disgust Ethan Jones?"

"Hey! Watch your words!" Don Valentine said with a straight face, unhappy: "I just provided some help to some people in need!"

Don Valentine casts a serious look at Nolan Bushnell.

But under the eyes of the four, he only persisted for less than half a minute before he was defeated.

"Okay, Okay..." He smiled and said, "You're right, I'm disgusting Ethan Jones, or rather, I wish he could die!"

Following Don Valentine's narration, Nolan Bushnell finally knew what this guy did after the two parties parted ways.

Since Don Valentine sold all of Atari's shares to Warner two years ago, he left with cash and settled down in Santa Clara.Because it is very close to Silicon Valley, he who wants to invest in high-tech industries can easily understand the projects happening 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, he wanted to get back the lost space.

Perhaps because he has been following him all the time, he can be regarded as having witnessed all the growth of Ethan Jones with his own eyes, from the start-up of the grass-roots team, to taking the express train of Ralph Bell, to the shocking release of "Pac-Man", The fact that he jumped higher than he flew made him very uncomfortable.

But in the process, he also discovered that Ethan Jones bought land in Milbida in Silicon Valley, built a factory, and followed the current manufacturing company's favorite employment principles, using hippies to keep costs down.

When this fact emerges——

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

"Although they need to integrate into the society now, because they can no longer march and sing like before, but at the same time, the real key to manage them is not their calm hearts, but to integrate with them. as one."

"Just like you did before, drinking with them, playing and singing with them, fighting grass with them, racing with them, only if you do all these, they will convince you."

"Ethan Jones can't do that."

"So, from then on, I felt that something would go wrong in his factory."

"Then I asked my Intel friend to help me pay attention to the situation over there."

"And then……"

"There is a connection between people who can provide and people who want help."

At this point, Don Valentine giggled.

Although he didn't understand what he said, Nolan Bushnell had heard it clearly.

The so-called connection between those who can provide needs and those who need help is actually about door-to-door service by dealers. When this hint appeared, Don Valentine had actually confessed everything to him.

"But the method you used has hardly dealt any blow to Ethan Jones."

Nolan Bushnell re-opened a can of Coke and said: "It was just a few days of chaos there, and then it returned to calm. 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 exclaimed, "Ethan Jones is unaffected?"

"Don't lie to yourself!"

"You Atari... Well, Atari at the time benefited a lot from this incident!"

"If it wasn't for those guys making trouble, Ethan Jones would probably be developing a new game after he came back from the book. How could it be delayed until the beginning of this year?"

"It's enough to deceive others if it has no influence, but it doesn't work here!"

"Okay ok ok..."

Nolan Bushnell nodded and said, "I admit it has an effect, but not much..."

The successive denials made Don Valentine laugh, "Oh Nolan, I know what you mean, you just want to know who is behind me."

"Right now you just want to hurry up and watch Ethan Jones suffer."

"And it's okay to tell you this kind of thing."

"Because my original plan can no longer be used, and it will never be used..."

In fact, connecting those who can help with those who need it is only the first step in Don Valentine's plan. The main purpose is to see how Ethan Jones will respond to such emergencies.

If the game of fate regards those hippies as factors of instability and expels them all, then he will directly turn the fire and make those guys who lost their jobs for no reason start to demonstrate and protest.Then contact the media to expose all the capitalist style of the destiny game.

Even the title of the media has already been thought out——

[The Beat Generation embraced society but were rejected, what is the meaning of expulsion from the game of fate]

He's going to make the whole thing a social issue!
Use the coercion of public opinion to ruin the reputation of Destiny Games!

But unfortunately...

"He didn't fire all those people." Don Valentine raised his eyebrows and said, "They chose the kindest way, but fired those who had influence on the company."

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

"It's a **** veteran."

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

"A new plan popped up in my mind!"

"That is to let those traffickers do it again!"

"Spread Coca-Cola among the hippies in the fate game!"

"You may not understand why I do this... It's very simple. When those traffickers start to spread Coke, those ** veterans will inevitably find that they will drive them away and do their hands. When they threaten those traffickers not to come again ...it's done..."

Speaking of this, Don Valentine paused, staring at Nolan Bushnell with scorching eyes, and said seriously: "After being threatened by the ** veterans, those traffickers will obediently leave, and after a while Afterwards, their families would report to the police 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 deal with it, because our California and Baja California are connected, and there are countless traffickers running around the border every year, but... ...What if those traffickers have a criminal record?"

"Those traffickers are gangsters on the border?"

"They were originally engaged in the business of carrying goods by human flesh?"

Every time a question came up, Don Valentine would lean forward.

When he finished asking what was in his heart, the protruding eyes showed even more madness.

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

After a long while, he suddenly realized that he said loudly: "Oh! Sxxt! You are looking for the boss Mazi who has a direct relationship with MXG, right?"

"uh-huh."

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

Smiling and shrugging, he spread his hands slightly.

That proud look made Nolan Bushnell shudder.

Because he understood what Don Valentine meant!
Some traffickers disappeared in California, that's really a small thing.

But what if some traffickers who carry goods on the border every day, have a criminal record, and may even be related to the leader of MXG are missing?

That will definitely attract the attention of the federation, the media and even the general public!

Because the current America, the California under their feet, is really cracking down on drugs!

In 1970, California promulgated the "Controlled Drug Act", which implemented harsher penalties than the federal drug law in California. They divided drugs into five categories, of which categories I and II will be subject to the strictest Control and punishment. Three years later, the California Drug Abuse Advisory Committee was established to send commissioners to conduct research on the drug problem and provide regular reports to the governor and the legislature.

And in the same year (73), the DEA (Federal Drug Enforcement Agency) was also formally established, working together with Fobole, Customs and other agencies to severely crack down on drug crimes, and it can even be said that drug transportation crimes.

In 75, America and MXG also signed the "Bilateral Anti-Abstract Agreement". In 76, Zong even visited MXG specially for this matter, and directly contributed to Operation Condor, using specific herbicides to destroy Mexico's Sina Large plantations in Roa, Durango and Chihuahua.

When these facts emerge...

There are some line dealers who disappeared after contacting the fate game?

Then Ethan Jones will definitely be targeted!

No matter whether he is behind Stanford or not!

And after waiting for the media to dig deeper and find out that Destiny Game had contacted dealers before, and then hired a bunch of veterans because of it...

Nolan Bushnell can even make up for the negative media reports!
Even if they don't contribute to the flames, the media will think that the disappearance of the dealer is related to the fate game!

Because in the current era, ** veterans have indeed fought back angrily in the midst of humiliation!

Even if they were watching the show, Ethan Jones would be very busy!

What if they still had a wave of fire on the sidelines?

Then you can directly come up with the headline that the police veteran shoots and kills the dealer, and Ethan Jones pays for the murder!
As for whether these things are true?
That doesn't matter at all!
Because it doesn't matter if they are hippies, police veterans, or wire dealers, they are not good people!In the eyes of the public, the DEBUFF of the Destiny game is almost full!

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

"Is it because those traffickers have problems?"

"They don't cooperate?"

"Or because you gave too little money, they refused to disappear completely?"

The continuous inquiries made Don Valentine purse his lips.

He raised his head with a dejected face, and after drinking the beer in his hand, he said helplessly, "Neither, the dealers I found are all right, they are all small people, willing to cooperate with me, and the money I gave is enough , many of them can go around and go to Canada to enjoy life.”

"But unfortunately..."

"All this because last year's general election became a plan that could never be put into reality!"

"Barbara Babcock, who had a good relationship with Ethan Jones, went to DoJ?"

"MFxxk! Do you know what that means?"

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

"If the trouble is getting bigger and Ethan Jones' sister asks Vinton Cerf for help, then the NSA and CIA will definitely end up. At that time, can I still escape?"

"Do not make jokes!"

"There is no one in this world that they can't catch!"

Although in order to crack down on narcotics crimes, the Federation has set up an anti-narcotics bureau, which is even on the same level as Fobole in terms of power. Under special circumstances, it can even apply for the mobilization of the army for joint suppression, but...

Like Fobole, they are still a subsidiary of DoJ.After an accident, they can indeed check the fate game, but the DoJ can also tell them not to check.

The NSA is even simpler. As the largest intelligence agency in America, they are a subsidiary of the DoD. They are responsible for collecting and analyzing foreign and domestic communication data. Don Cerf's paper and the TCP/IP protocol... was spread here two years ago.

When these accidents occur...

Don Valentine chose to stop.

He does want to strangle Ethan Jones, but he's not stupid.

I won't do that kind of thing that burns me.

"So you let the previous provocation become an endless farce?" Nolan asked.

"Otherwise?" Don Valentine shrugged.

"It seems to be like this..." Nolan smiled helplessly and nodded.

Emotionally, he couldn't accept this fact.

But as things stand now...

"Extraordinary! How lucky is Ethan Jones!"

Nolan Bushnell burst into foul language, "On patents, he can get Ralph Bell to help! On hardware, he has MOS and Apple! Barbara Babko while you stare at him G. and Vinton Cerf have turned from university professors to government officials? And they are also super-high-level special hires? More importantly, when I made products ahead of him, the games he rushed out could be Leading the way? And with a Star Wars escort?"

"MFxxk! What kind of shit is this special code!"

"Normal people have to thank God for everything, but what about him?"

"Has he ever lost?"

Nolan Bushnell was too angry to speak.

He sat there gasping for breath.

And just when he thought that the current Ethan Jones had become a thing, and he was no longer a loser like him who could look directly at him, Don Valentine laughed out loud.

He stood up and left the living room.

When he reappeared, he also threw a document in front of Nolan Bushnell.

"What is this?" Nolan Bushnell asked suspiciously.

"Big trouble for Ethan Jones," laughed Don Valentine.

Such an answer made Nolan Bushnell frowned.

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

And after he opened the file and took a closer look...

A picture that came to him made him overjoyed.

"Nintendo?" he asked in surprise.

"Yeah~Nintendo~" Don Valentine nodded and said, "Maybe Ethan Jones will be very happy now? Because "Star Wars" is a big hit in North America, but soon, he will not be happy because Nintendo Already violating his interests..."

Speaking of this, Don Valentine laughed out loud.

"It's a really unlucky kid."

"Even if we don't take action, he will continue to be in trouble."

　Note: ①America's anti-narcotics operation was indeed very wild from 1969 to 1977, and they were indeed banning anti-corruption crazily.Regarding this matter, our country’s Academy of Social Sciences has also done research and published many reports and papers. The problem is very complicated. If you want to talk about it, you have to start with the native chicken and the Gallic chicken. The writing in the article is actually very one-sided Yes, just take a look. ②California was also crazily banned in the 70s, but those who know that period of history may know that California's insanity must be quoted because they jumped left and right.On the one hand, they did enact harsher penalties than the federal government in the early 70s. On the other hand, within a few years, they eliminated hemp again. The reasons for this are very complicated and sensitive. I’m not going to start writing. I’m going to make a note here to explain why the views of Nolan and Valentine in this chapter are inconsistent with what Sergeant Mirbida said in the previous article, because in reality they are jumping around repeatedly. As long as it is beneficial to themselves, That's actually all reasonable. ③Winton Cerf's DoD was indeed one of the fifteen departments that banned smuggling. The DoD does have the right to manage it. Back then, that organization was called EPIC (Eipaso Intelligence Center), and the NSA was there to analyze intelligence.
