Blooming America

Chapter 156

Nothing can get money faster than the Pentagon's appropriations.

Catherine agreed.

Lockheed Martin can easily get hundreds of billions of dollars from the Pentagon.

Catherine's goal is not that high. In fact, the funds she has received now are only more than 100 million.

With the support of a huge flow of funds, Catherine's plan to lay experimental optical cables has begun.

Because it is only in a few universities in California on the west coast, the amount of engineering is not large, and the network from the White House to the Pentagon is not difficult.

However, it may take some time to wait for the connected network. Only after the completion of the test, the military can do this.

Sitting down and discussing things with various universities is not too troublesome. After all, if history is not wrong, the first network was established in 1969. It's just that the "users" of Catherine's network are somewhat different from universities in history.

But this does not affect Catherine's project.

This time, Catherine personally went into battle, and it didn't stop until March.

In fact, Catherine didn’t plan to leave her project so soon, but there were some things she still had to do, and that was the 38th Academy Awards in April.

Sitting on her bed, Catherine looked at the dresses in front of her, and suddenly had no idea.

"Ada, which dress do you think I should wear?"

Ada, who had withdrawn from the university, was by Catherine's side at the moment, because she was also going to Oscar.

The Oscars this time are mainly for "Red Alert", as for "Flags of Fathers", that will be next year.

"Actually I think we should customize a set now." Ada said.

"But, didn't Lisa sent you a set of clothes? She got me one too."

"Uh……"

As soon as this question was mentioned, Catherine fainted, because the outfit Ida mentioned was tailored by Lisa after she heard that Catherine was going to Oscar, and then sent it.

"That dress is really... uh..."

In Catherine's view, that suit really couldn't be worn out.

It is indeed a full dress, but the upper body shows the big back. There are only two pieces of cloth covering the front of the chest. Although the bottom is a long skirt, it is split, and there is a pair of rootless ballet high heels. ...

Is this the Martian dress?

Catherine felt incredible at the time.

"Does it have to be formal to go to the Oscars?"

Catherine asked tentatively.

"Does it matter?"

Ada asked strangely.

"Hollywood is never afraid of'unique' looks. No matter what we look like, I believe that there will be no problems."

Catherine sighed. The facts seem to be true. Lisa's clothes have really appeared.

"How about these shoes?"

Ada pointed to the ballet heels.

Although ballet high heels are very popular nowadays, it seems inappropriate to wear them to Oscars.

And this thing... in the history of Oscars, there is really no...

"Ada, how do you feel at school?"

Ada heard Catherine’s question, and then thought about it: "It’s probably okay...Although it feels different from acting, it does have a high level of improvement in acting skills...Well, even though I was in junior high school, I have read the relevant textbooks."

Ada answered vaguely.

"But, Kate, do you really want to go acting?"

"Me? No, no, no."

Catherine shook her head and waved her hands.

"Seriously, Kate, do you remember Blair the Witch?"

Catherine nodded. This is a video shot by the big guys.

"Kate, do you remember your time?"

"In fact, that film doesn't require much acting skills at all."

The main thing is all kinds of hype. Catherine even changed the plot of "Harry Potter" partly for this.

But it was precisely because of the first pot of gold in "Blair the Witch" that Catherine developed.

"Maybe, but Kate, you were really in the drama at that time"

Can I still act?

"Stop kidding, Ada." Catherine smiled.

"Occasionally a cameo, I think it's good, but you let me shoot...hehe...hehe."

Catherine laughed dryly.

"By the way, Ada, what happened to your father?" Catherine asked again.

"He's protecting the umbrella right now." Ada smiled: "In fact, he is now working as a coach there."

Catherine nodded. History has changed. The mercenaries are now on the battlefield in Vietnam. Most of the employees recruited by Bruce are now there, mainly responsible for logistics and transportation. Because of this, there is now a shortage of instructors in the United States.

"But there is one thing we can't forget. Maybe she can give us some ideas."

Ada and Catherine smiled at each other.

"Jenny's Birthday"

Jenny’s birthday was more than ten days before the opening of the Oscar, so it seems to be more important to celebrate her birthday now than the Oscar.

"Where is Lily?"

Catherine asked again.

"She's in England now, but unfortunately, she won't be here in time."

This is indeed a pity.

"But, Kate, you won't be left behind on your birthday" Ada laughed again, "Even Lisa will be back."

Yes, June 1st is my birthday.

By now, Catherine is almost 18 years old.

18 years old, that is, an adult.

"Maybe." Catherine glanced out the window.

"I thought, maybe we could go and prepare a gift for Jenny first?" Catherine's eyes flashed a sly.

"This is a good idea" Ada said, but then looked around again: "Where is Elsa?"

"She is reviewing, anyway, she has graduated from high school in the UK, so I persuaded Elsa to take the SAT."

Ada nodded.

Then, the two got in the car and headed towards Manhattan.

But before long, Catherine's car stopped for a simple reason: a demonstration.

"It's bad, why did you encounter such a thing at this time?" Ada complained.

But Catherine knew that when the first peak erupted.

"Miss, do we need a diversion?" asked Kane, the driver and bodyguard.

Catherine shook her head.

"No, they will leave soon, the detour will go further, just wait."

"Everyone who shouts for tolerance is trying to pave the way for future mistakes. They have subconsciously put themselves in the position of abuser."

"Resume the death penalty"

"The exemption from the death penalty is for those who commit crimes to pave the way for their own future."

"We will never agree"

"!!!"

Not an anti-war demonstration?

Catherine listened to these propaganda slogans, she couldn't help looking out the window.

Catherine is indeed embarrassed, this is actually a parade about the death penalty.

But Catherine remembered that it was true that there was a death penalty in New York State, and that there should be no death penalty in California.

This episode soon passed. The marching team gradually left, and Catherine's car started smoothly.

Soon, they came to Manhattan.

"You said, what gifts should we buy for Jenny?"

"My gift is ready." Catherine didn't care.

"What is it?" Catherine asked.

"The complete episode of Harry Potter."

"The complete works of "Harry Potter"?" Ada's eyes also lit up.

You know, the last two of "Harry Potter" have not yet been released, and Ada and the others can be said to be fans of Catherine. However, the release plan of the paper book publishing house still needs a long time to wait. Time is really tickling.

"Yes, the exclusive collection version, the only one in the world."

Catherine found it quite interesting.

I wonder if other people will stare at her every day after Jenny got this book?

But seeing Ada's fiery eyes, Catherine felt that the answer should be "Yes".

"Ah... what should I do? Mr. Horn?"

After hearing this sentence, Catherine secretly wiped her sweat.

"Clothes? No...I think Lisa will give this." Ada looked a little distressed.

"Cake? No... Even if Lily can't come in time, I'm afraid she will order a big cake at least two meters high and send it to Jenny."

Seeing Lily's headache, Catherine really found it interesting.

"Is it true that you want to send Mr. Horn? Or motor machine?"

"I think even if you send this...Jenny won't use it. Really." Catherine reminded.

"Kate, give me an idea"

Ada began to ask Catherine for help.

"How about giving a necklace?"

"It seems good... but isn't this a confession? Is it a ring?"

Catherine rolled her eyes.

"Maybe a good bracelet?"

With bracelets, there will be no "ambiguity", this seems good, and Ada nodded.

Sometimes what girls need is not that kind of precious gift, but a kind of friendship.

Catherine has been in the enemy's rear for many years, and in this regard, she sees it more clearly from the perspective of a third party.

March will soon be over ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ the time has come to April.

Jenny is at Columbia University, which is in New York, so it is quite convenient for Jenny to come here.

For Catherine, Jenny is also the closest person to her own house. It’s just a pity that Catherine doesn’t spend too much time in New York, so the two people don’t spend too much time together. On the contrary, it’s because Catherine spends most of her time together. In California, there are quite a few opportunities to meet Ada.

April 8th, 1966, was a Friday. After class, Jenny would return to the villa in the evening, but in the meantime, Lily and Lisa’s gifts had already been sent.

Lily's gift is indeed a huge cake, and Lisa's gift is indeed a set of clothes.

The cake was taken apart long ago, and then placed on the third floor, and Lisa's clothes must wait for Jenny to come over before she can take it apart.
