MTL - Once Upon a Time In Hollywood-Chapter 353 they are happy now

  Chapter 353 They are happy now

  Of course, the showtime between Microsoft and Apple also deceives ordinary people.

  Even if MacOSX can pose a certain threat to Windows, what about when MacOSX grows bigger?

   Isn’t that the company of America?

   Playing around, the one who monopolizes the market is still you.

   Then this is the same as thinking about whether to use the left hand or the right hand or both after taking off the pants!

Therefore, after unconditionally approving the two acquisitions and removing Airbus from the investigation list of the National Transportation Safety Board of America, the European Union has also given countermeasures. BAE, the British super defense giant and the third largest military supplies company in the world, announced that, The multi-purpose fighter EF2000 jointly developed by the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain will undergo electromagnetic system compatibility tests and aerial refueling tests within two years, and is expected to be officially delivered within three years.

  According to the latest flight test report of Mach 1.6 in December 1999, the performance of EF2000 will exceed the F-15 produced by McDonnell Douglas, posing a serious threat to Boeing's current military market share.

With the swing of this fist, Boeing also released news of the F-22, an upgraded version of the F-15 jointly developed with Lockheed Martin, saying that this stealth fighter, which has been studied for more than ten years, will Serve within five years.

The fight between the tip of the needle and the wheat awn makes the people who eat melons call it wonderful, and the arms race in peacetime fully demonstrates the hegemony of the superpowers. Although most countries in the world advocate stopping the arms race and striving for a comprehensive Disarmament to ensure world peace, but who will listen to your truth when you are out of range?

   Therefore, as long as there is competition, the arms race cannot be stopped.

  Because the prosperity of the economy and industry is all based on fists.

  However, this kind of fist-to-hand confrontation is no longer something that someone can directly intervene. Roland just listens to it as something that will definitely happen, and after listening to it, go on vacation as usual.

But when he and his family were watching the various events of the Olympic Games in Sydney, one bad news after another came one after another since the opening ceremony. Portsmouth in the county was hit by flooding, with up to 2.3 inches (58mm) of rain falling in four and a half hours.

The sudden flood caused the pumping station in Eastney to fail, and shortly after the accident, the heavy rain gradually spread to the southeast. That night, the rainfall in Havant, Hampshire reached 2.5 inches (65mm).

If it’s just these, then forget it, because although Hampshire and Berkshire, where Kate’s hometown is located, are connected, the rainfall areas of Portsmouth and Havant are still a certain distance from Reading. However, when the British The Bureau of Meteorology has issued an alert saying that areas other than northern Scotland have experienced above-normal rainfall over the past 24 months, and September this year is the wettest month since 1781. Since records began in 2007, all Septembers have been long.

  Roland felt something was wrong.

   "How about taking your family out first?" Roland suggested to Kate in the hotel.

"Why?"

  Kate was a little puzzled, "Are you afraid that the rainstorm will affect their travel? But the weather station didn't issue a rainstorm warning!"

   "Isn't the statement that rainfall is expected to be greater than in all Septembers since records began in 1727 an early warning?"

Roland revealed his worries, "It may be that the coverage area is too large, and he directly stated that he was afraid of causing panic, so he used a gentle way to convey this news to the public? After all, if it is an area other than northern Scotland, there will be large-scale outbreaks." If it rains, then even if the warning is issued, people will have nowhere to go."

Before it was changed, Roland might still trust the British authorities, but after the magic style came out, he couldn’t blame Roland for viewing every announcement they made with colored glasses, and the official has indicated that the future rainfall is still possible. As he continues to expand, taking all of Kate's family members out of the UK has become what Roland wants to do most.

  Because he didn't want to see it, when the wedding was held, the woman's parents couldn't attend for some reason.

   I don't even want to see that the wedding may be postponed due to the fact that the woman's parents cannot attend.

When Roland said this, Kate also felt that the weather should not spoil her wedding, so she wanted to calculate the time difference and call her family out of England first. However, before she could act, Roland asked again: "By the way, Don't you call them out to Sydney."

   "Why?" asked Kate, who was doing subtraction with her fingers.

"Because your previous explanation to your family was 'watching the Olympics with my family', since you never invited your parents to come to Sydney from the beginning, then you suddenly called them over for the reason of asylum. , but forgot, so now find a lame reason to make up for the mistake?"

  Roland spread his hands and said, "Then they look like substitutes?"

   "What would your parents think?"

   "What will your family think?"

   With such words, Kate was taken aback for a moment, and after she reacted, a happy smile followed the trend.

   "Oh~ Roland! My parents won't care about such trivial things!"

   "My family won't take this kind of thing to heart!"

"But I will!" Roland looked at Kate sincerely, and said, "Why don't you call them out with the excuse of asylum, and just say that you want to have a wedding with them in the last half month?" Invite them to Los Angeles for the sake of arrangement."

   "What about this side?" Kate thinks this kind of rhetoric is okay, but is the Olsen family just hanging around?

"Let's tell the truth here. After your family comes out, I will go back to Los Angeles with you to receive them. Don't worry, David, Ganetti, Ashley, Mary, Liqi, they will understand, ah, no, yes I'm used to it..."

   "... I'm used to running around a lot." Roland winked at Kate with a funny expression on his face.

"Hahaha~" The sincere words coupled with the beeping movements made Kate laugh out loud, and after patting her man's thigh a few times, she opened her arms and hugged him, "Thank you...Thank you for your consideration How my parents felt..."

   "Don't be like this, don't be like this, you should think so, in order to deceive you, that's why I made the sense of ritual right! And after I succeed, then you just let me play around!" Roland continued joking.

   "Tch!" Kate raised her head and gave Roland a blank look, "Aren't I also playing around with you now?"

   "Really? Why don't I feel it?" Roland raised his eyebrows upside down with surprise on his face.

   "How can you feel it if you don't try it?"

   "Can I try now?"

   "Huh! No!"

   "Oh! Is this something you can't give if you say no? No matter what happens today, you have to make a villain with me!"

   "Ah! Let me go! Didn't you mean after the wedding? To avoid getting pregnant!"

   "Anyway, it's been half a month, and I can't go anywhere!"

   Roland asked Kate to call out the family first, just to prevent accidents from happening, but no one expected that when the Winslet family was welcomed to California by the enthusiastic son-in-law, something really happened in England.

  On September 20, a tropical wave surged into the Pacific Ocean from the west coast of Africa. On September 21, the National Hurricane Center of America issued a storm warning. On September 22, a tropical storm officially formed.

By the 23rd, the storm was marked as a Category 2 hurricane, and on the evening of the 25th, they were labeled as 'Isaac' by the National Hurricane Center of America, which may reach Category 4. By the 28th, Both the Met Office and the National Hurricane Center in America have confirmed that Isaac will become extratropical and land in the British Isles midway between Newfoundland and the Azores, while merging with an extratropical low on the northern track of Scotland before…

explode.

According to the forecast of the British Met Office, sudden meteorological disasters will cause severe storms to hit the UK, and the resulting floods may cause devastating blows to more than 10,000 houses in 27 regions, and the losses will exceed One billion.

While listing the warning areas and evacuation areas, the British authorities also advise all citizens not to travel when the disaster strikes, but Worcestershire, Shropshire, East Sussex, Yorkshire, which will be directly hit by the storm , Notices of the closure of main roads and bridges have been posted. In addition, all major airports in the UK have also canceled all flights.

  The official recovery time is expected to be in mid-October.

   "Wow, if Roland hadn't called us out, we might have to watch you in England now."

   Kate's mother Sally - Anne is very grateful.

"Good luck, it's really lucky this time, our Meteorological Bureau issued a disaster warning in advance." Kate's father Roger Winslet said with emotion: "However, although it is good luck, without Roland's reminder, I We don't think we would care."

  Such words made Kate laugh out loud.

  Who doesn't want the guy he likes to be approved by his parents?

  Although Roland has accompanied her home several times, he never praises this kind of thing too much.

   Not only that, she also said to her parents in a showy tone: "Hey~ It's a small thing~ It's a small thing~"

   "For Roland, it's just a small matter,"

   "As soon as he is free, he likes to watch news from various countries."

   "Why today's Swedish weapon equipment manufacturer was acquired by the United Defense of America, why there will be a scandal in the Catholic Church tomorrow, and why there will be a natural disaster the day after tomorrow. Anyway, they are not doing business."

   "He still keeps saying 'I'm retired' every day, which is really a headache."

  Although Kate dismissed Roland as useless, how could her parents fail to hear the joy in her daughter's mouth?

"You! It hasn't changed in so many years!" Sally-Anne smiled and shook her head, "When you were young, when your father and I refused to let you take the path of acting, you kept saying that you would be obedient, but what happened in the end? Find grandma to support you directly! Over the years, have you said less irony? But now, the more you talk about Roland's shortcomings, it proves that you like him more, right?"

   "Hey hey~"

  Although Xiaosi was exposed by her mother, Kate was not annoyed, but threw herself into the other's arms and said softly, "Mom!"

  By doing so, Sally-Anne happily patted her daughter on the back.

  With her movements, the lost happiness is gradually revealed.

Although after Kate became an actor, she felt that she would go home less often, get together less and leave more, so that they have become accustomed to the lack of time with their third daughter, but when the daughter decides to marry, the inseparable emotions will still emerge. heart.

   After all, when Kate took her husband's surname, she was no longer a Winslet.

  Thinking of this, Sally-Anne's nose felt a little sour.

"Okay, okay, my daughter has already found someone she likes and also likes herself, isn't that a good thing?" Seeing that his mother-in-law was about to cry, Roger Winslet took the initiative to intervene, confusing the other party. The emotions brought back the joy, "By the way, shouldn't we go to Kauai Island on October 5th? I received a call from you before and learned that you chose Kauai Island as the wedding venue, so I wanted to Go to the filming location of "Jurassic Park"!"

   That's right, when Roland told the wedding planner that he wanted to get married on an island like Bill Gates did, seeking as much privacy as possible, they racked their brains and slapped their butts and chose Kauai Island in Hawaii.

  The reason is actually very simple:

One is that the Hawaiian Islands are very suitable for private weddings. Bill Gates got married on Lanai Island; the other is that Kauai Island is the oldest island in the Hawaiian Islands and is known as the Garden of Eden in reality; When filming "Jurassic Park", Roland and the crew came here to shoot scenes, knowing that the scenery here is really beautiful, so they agreed.

Since mid-September, all the hotels on the island have been booked by them to inject security. At the same time, ISLANDAIR, which flies from Honolulu to Kauai Island, has also announced that it will suspend flights until October 10 due to limited capacity. Under such circumstances, let alone landing on the island in advance, even if you feel the beauty of Adam and Eve in this real Eden, no one will take care of you.

  Because of this, when Roland learned that his father-in-law wanted to take advantage of the rest time to go to play, he asked Steven Spielberg to borrow a plane to go directly, didn't it become a matter of course!

  In private, he can bully Kate in any way he wants, but in front of the other party's parents, of course he has to give enough face!

After the group landed on Kauai Island, Roland, who had been here, acted as a guide and took Kate and her family on a tour here, taking a helicopter tour around the island, going to Waimea Canyon to check in, and strolling in the fern cave That's the most basic thing. What's really interesting is to buy agricultural and sideline products from local residents and cook for yourself.

  When Roland brought the coconut chicken soup to the table, Roger Winslet's eyes lit up with the refreshing clear soup full of coconut fragrance.

   "You know how to cook? Why haven't you heard about this before?"

   "Because she is the only one eating." Roland cheerfully pointed to the pig who was baking small cakes for everyone in the kitchen.

   "Oh? Is that so?" Roger Winslet nodded knowingly.

   Didn't say much, and patted his future son-in-law's shoulder happily, "I wish you happiness."

  However, before his words fell, Sally-Anne, who had tasted the coconut chicken soup, glared at her husband in dissatisfaction.

   "What are you talking about?"

   "They are happy now!"

  Such words stunned everyone present.

  The next second, happy laughter resounded through the sky.

   "Hahaha~"

   Note: ① EF2000 is the Typhoon fighter jet, and the French Dassault Rafale fighter jet and the Swedish Saab JAS-39 fighter jet are known as the three heroes of Europe. When Boeing and Airbus fought each other, BAE did put pressure on the Boeing market, but in reality, due to the investigation, the time point was April 2002. ②In the autumn of 2000, Britain did encounter a huge flood caused by hurricanes, starting from September 15th and ending in November. It is precisely because the British Meteorological Observatory and the National Hurricane Center of the United States have issued early warnings that the economic loss of this 300-year-old flood was controlled at one billion.
