Chapter 560 Telepathy between Father and Son

With the help of his brother and friends, Elliot finally rescued ET from the research center.

Unexpectedly, the adults did not let them go at all, and set up many checkpoints along the way in an attempt to intercept this "rescue team".

Right under the eyes of the adults, ET demonstrated its incredible magical power and led everyone out of the "encirclement" - that is the most classic shot of a bicycle flying in the sky against the backdrop of the moon!

“Wow, that’s so cool!”

In the woods where ET was first discovered, the alien spaceship that came to pick ET up arrived. ET, who had always been thinking about going home, was finally leaving. Elliot reluctantly said goodbye to his alien friend.

Ronan let out a long sigh, it felt so refreshing!
After leaving the cinema, Wang Yuanchao bought some ET peripherals for his two children. Even the second child, David, didn't think they were ugly.

The two children began to communicate telepathically on the way home, and Ronan kept teaching his younger brother how to communicate with him.

But David was too small to cooperate.

In the end, David was tired and fell into a deep sleep. Only Ronan was very anxious, thinking that his brother did not give him any face and did not cooperate with him.

Wang Yuanchao looked at his angry eldest son and recalled a telepathy game he had played before, so he said:
"David is still young, Daddy will teach you a telepathy game, how about it?"

Ronan immediately became interested and said:

"Okay, teach me how to play!"

Wang Yuanchao stopped the car on the side of the road and said:
“For example, in our car, if you turn around, others…oh, you don’t have to turn around now, listen to me cover it up completely.

If someone points at the steering wheel and asks you to turn around, I will point at the instrument panel and ask you, is this what someone just pointed at?

You would answer no.

I will then point to the gear shift lever and ask you, is this it?

You will still say no.

I pointed at the steering wheel and asked you, is this it?

You will say, yes.”

Ronan frowned and said:
“But how would I know if I turned around?
Oh, Dad, you're going to give me a hint, aren't you? We both have a secret, right? Wink? Or move your little finger? "

Looking at Ronan who looked anxious, Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:

"You need hints, but not any body language. Let's make an agreement beforehand. After I point to the black object, the next one is the answer. You only need to pay attention to the color of the object to know the answer, not my movements.

Of course, we can agree on any color, white, red, yellow, blue, green, or even a shape, square, round, with corners, the next one, or the next two. And everyone's attention will be on me, and no one will pay attention to the features of the things pointed out, right? "

After this explanation, Ronan suddenly understood what was going on when he looked at the black gear shift lever.

He couldn't wait to get home and try it out with others.

"Tuk Tuk"

But after the two of them parked the car, it had been parked for a long time and no one got out. There was no special notice beforehand, so two bodyguards followed behind got on the car. One was on guard, and the other knocked on the car window and asked:
"Boss, do you need help?"

Wang Yuanchao opened the car window a little and was about to say "It's okay" when Ronan said:
“Uncle George, my dad and I are telepathic!

You point to something randomly, I don't look, my dad just points to something randomly, and when he points to that thing, I know it's the thing you're pointing to!"

Bodyguard George and his friends also watched the movie and of course knew about this new thing called telepathy. They immediately looked at their boss Adam Wang.

Wang Yuanchao then rolled down the car window and said:
"We can only play once. We are still on the road. We can play slowly when we get home."

Ronan looked at bodyguard George expectantly.

The boss had spoken, what did George have to say? He could only say:
"Shall we try?"

Ronan turned around immediately.

George looked at his boss, put his hand on the car window and pointed at his watch.

Wang Yuanchao nodded, indicating that he understood.

George immediately showed an expectant look and said:

"Ronan, now you can guess. Let me see if you and your father have telepathy!"

As for acting, who doesn’t know how to do it?

Ronan turned around excitedly, leaning almost half of his body out from between the two seats, his face full of excitement, he said:

"Dad, let's get started!"

George even curled his lips to show his disbelief.

Wang Yuanchao pointed at the steering wheel and said two words in a calm tone:

“Is this?”

Ronan smiled and said "No".

Wang Yuanchao pointed at the rearview mirror again, and Ronan said no. He then pointed at the gear lever, and Ronan also said no. He then pointed at the watch on George's hand resting on the car window. Ronan couldn't wait to say:
"Yes!"

George was surprised, "Wow~~"

Originally he was cooperating in the acting, and the father and son must have done some little tricks or something to make the child happy.

As bodyguards, their observation skills are first-rate.

As a result, the boss sitting in the main driving seat, without even thinking, raised his right hand, poked everywhere with his index finger, and asked "Is this it?". There was nothing unusual in his actions, and even his voice did not have any emotional twists and turns. There was no hint of any kind at all.

George couldn't believe it and wanted them to do it again so he could observe it more carefully.

But the boss just said that we are on the way and can only do it once.

He retracted his hand, gave Ronan a thumbs up, and said:
"Excellent!"

Wang Yuanchao closed the car window and continued on his way.

"Dad, George was completely shocked just now, you know?"

"I thought you would do it again!" Wang Yuanchao said.

"Dad, I'm not a kid. Look at Elliot, he's the same age as me, but he can already do such amazing things. I can really see that George is really, really shocked!" Ronan tried to explain.

"Oh, can't he act? Adults often lie to children." His son's words were so obvious, Wang Yuanchao had to cooperate and ask.

"Because George used to play with us, and his surprise would be exaggerated. Not only could he fit an egg in his mouth, but the noise was also very loud. Just now, his 'wow' was basically silent. It was just his mouth that was moving." Ronan excitedly explained his discovery.

Wang Yuanchao suddenly realized that children are very observant. They will know when you are acting with them...

"Great, then this is the telepathy between us father and son. We can't tell anyone else. If we tell others, they will tell others, and eventually everyone will know about it. It won't be considered telepathy anymore, right?"

Ronan's smile froze immediately, and then he stopped smiling. He was still planning to bring it to school to play with his classmates. But what his father said made sense. If he told others, everyone would know it soon. He could only say:
"I see."

Wang Yuanchao looked at Ronan's disappointed expression and said:
"You can pick your best friend, the one who can keep secrets, and play with him. You know, the better you are at keeping secrets, the longer this superpower will last."

Ronan then laughed and said:
"Well, I will try my best to find such good friends. All my good friends are in Los Angeles."

He transferred to Washington after his grandfather Reagan entered the White House, and he has just gotten to know his classmates here.

After returning home, Ronan couldn't wait to announce to his grandparents that he and his father had telepathy.

The president's children are all adults and have their own careers, so no one lives with the Reagans, except for the two grandchildren.

The mother of the child, Patricia, is just like Ye. She rarely comes back to see her child even when she has one. On the contrary, the father, Adam, comes over quite often, as he always does, but he only stays here for half a year at most.

So the only people at home are my father-in-law and mother-in-law, Wang Yuanchao, and two children.

Of course, the Reagans had to cooperate with their happy grandson.

They were also prepared to cooperate with the two of them in the performance.

But they found that they didn't need to cooperate at all, which was magical. Even if they knew that there must be a little secret between father and son, they couldn't guess it.

After dinner, Wang Yuanchao said to Reagan:

"Ronnie, I want to talk to you about something." Ronnie is President Reagan's nickname. After all, everyone calls him Ronald. Reagan is called Ronnie, his brother-in-law is called Ron, and his son is called Ronan. Foreigners do not call their parents-in-law by their first names. Now, only family members call them by their first names.

The two came to the study.

Wang Yuanchao was also very direct, saying that Blackwater wanted to take more orders from the Ministry of National Defense, especially for the logistics maintenance of naval vessels, and whether it was possible to hire Blackwater employees as naval soldiers, which would greatly reduce the resistance of ordinary people to the military.

After Reagan's assassination, Blackwater had already received further orders from the Department of Defense, and now, they wanted more.

Other people’s connections are not as strong as black water’s, their rebates are not as legitimate and fair as black water’s, and their costs are higher than black water’s, so they really cannot compete.

With two production bases in Hong Kong and Sarawak, there is no need to worry about the logistics of the troops stationed in Asia. Blackwater can take as many as possible.

Blackwater was also one of Reagan's financial backers, so it was only natural for it to give him rewards.

"Do you have a specific plan? If so, I'll invite Weinberger to dinner tomorrow." Weinberger was the Secretary of Defense. The two met when Reagan was running for governor of California, and he later became Reagan's right-hand man.

Reagan originally wanted to increase military spending, so he could fully support Adam and Weinberger in discussing how to cooperate.

After the Vietnam War, the number of conventional US military forces dropped sharply, from 1968 million in 330 to 1975 million in 210, with a 46% reduction in flight squadrons, a 47% reduction in ships, and a 16% reduction in division-level units.

The U.S. military was in chaos in the 70s, with low morale and poor pay. The military had a low status in society and a poor image. The military profession lacked appeal, and many experienced officers and sergeants felt discouraged and disappointed and chose to retire early.

The military has no money to improve benefits, and is unable to meet recruitment targets, with a full-staff rate of less than 70%. Officers are under tremendous pressure and cannot fire any unqualified soldiers unless absolutely necessary. Many problematic soldiers are retained, exacerbating alcoholism, drug abuse, racial confrontation and military crime in the military, which further deteriorates the service environment and the relationship between officers and soldiers, causing more outstanding soldiers to leave the military.

Based on Reagan's basic strategic concept, Weinberger formulated a national defense policy that envisioned a nuclear or conventional war with the Soviet Union and its allies. This goal required a huge military expenditure and the construction of a strong army.

It's about engaging in an arms race.

As soon as Weinberger came to power, he increased the defense budget inherited from the previous administration by more than 20%, and the Republican-controlled Congress readily approved the additional appropriations.
