Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Chen Yiran recently donated three projects directly to Stanford University. Besides Professor Boyd and Professor Andrew Ng, with whom he had some prior connections, the last one was the Aurora Social Science Institute.

There are many similar research institutes in American universities, which generally involve students conducting various socio-political simulations, essentially training think tank talent.

Amy Zegart of Kratos, who had worked at the Hoover Institution for many years, now finally had the opportunity to take charge on her own, and he specifically said that he was doing his best.

She is indeed a talented individual, and her own philosophy is quite villainous. She is a pure elitist who believes that in order to win in future competitions, it is necessary to attract more talent from all over the world.

Her most admired person is Lee Kuan Yew, so her political spectrum is quite peculiar. She can basically be described as a pragmatist. She has always believed that Lee Kuan Yew was right: democracy cannot bring development, only discipline can.

Lee Kuan Yew once famously said that if democracy could make a country rich and powerful, then Africa would be full of developed countries by now.

This is also one of the reasons why she has never been able to rise to a high position in the research institute, because her overall ideology is somewhat politically incorrect in the United States.

Moreover, compared to other researchers, she got too close to various companies. After failing to gain wider acceptance of her ideas in politics, she began to actively support various companies and even served as an outside director in several of them.

She brought her theories to several companies, exerting her influence and promoting her authoritarian ideology. However, due to her relatively low social standing, the most powerful company she could influence was Kratos Corporation.

Chen Yiran's offer to her was quite encouraging. Two weeks after they met, she carefully reviewed Chen Yiran's business empire and provided him with her first business plan.

She took the plan to an address Chen Yiran had given her. She drove to the outside of an ordinary villa and stood at the door, Amy Zegart a little puzzled.

He knew Chen Yiran lived in Silicon Valley, but this place didn't seem very luxurious. However, after looking around, she still noticed the uniqueness of the place.

Cameras were brazenly installed in the trees, on the eaves, and even on the mailboxes by the door. She thought back and realized she hadn't seen a single car on her way here, which seemed unusual, even in a sparsely populated affluent area.

Just then, the door opened, and an ordinary-looking man walked out: "Amy Zegart, right? Come with me, the boss is already waiting."

Amy Zeggart asked with slight surprise, "Does the boss really live here? Although the house looks nice, the style feels too old-fashioned. I didn't expect the boss to like this style."

Nuno said somewhat awkwardly, "Um, I don't live here, this is just the entrance. The boss has some minor quirks, it wasn't as bad before, but it's getting worse lately. My name is Nuno, I'm the boss's security supervisor, we'll be seeing each other often in the future."

Nuno led Amy Zeggat into the villa, then into a storeroom in the backyard. They then went down into a passageway and boarded a small mine cart.

Amy Zegart, her face darkening, asked, "Is this necessary? I'm a director of the weapons company, I know a thing or two. What was that situation in the backyard just now? All the trees around were cut down. Is this supposed to be a trail to prevent outsiders from finding cover?"

"You'll get used to it. The boss likes this kind of thing. He enjoys doing this kind of security setup. Strictly speaking, the footprint zone isn't just here. This whole area around here is the footprint zone."

The boss bought all the houses in this area one after another, and they're all occupied by our own people. Anyone who drives in, unless they're there to report, is definitely suspicious.

"Couldn't we just be passing through? Going somewhere else through here?"

"Well, the boss specifically asked the government to build a few extra roads. According to the boss, anyone who deliberately takes a detour here is definitely not a good person."

Amy Zeggart felt her future was brighter; this kind of boss suited her taste perfectly.

After driving for more than ten minutes, they arrived at another villa, which Chen Yiran used to receive his employees. He was already waiting inside.

Amy Zeggart came in, sent the report to Chen Yiran, and then, without exchanging pleasantries, prepared to give a presentation, only to be interrupted by Chen Yiran.

"Send me an electronic copy first."

Amy Zegart hesitated slightly before saying, "Electronic documents are not safe after all. It would be troublesome if they were intercepted. Paper documents are easier to get away with. Even if someone gets their hands on them, we can just say it's a political simulation assignment by the students. Anyway, they can't prove that the plan was actually sent out."

Chen Yiran gestured to Nuno behind him, and Nuno took out a small box from the side.

"Here we have smartphones, tablets, and computers—one Apple and one Samsung. See whichever you prefer. We also have this watch with an emergency SOS function; if something happens, our people can come to our aid based on its location."

From now on, just send me the electronic version; trust in our technological advantages. Okay, now tell me your thoughts.

Amy Zegart nodded and said, "Okay, boss. What I mean this time is that I hope you can get directly involved in Hawaii politics, and preferably force the current governor, Abercrombie, to step down."

He clearly lost his mind after taking office, proposing to tax the pensions of retired civil servants as soon as he took office. Although the Legislative Council rejected it in an emergency, it directly offended retired elderly people throughout the state.

Secondly, there's the teachers' union. They directly imposed a new contract, cutting salaries by 5% and imposing very harsh conditions, directly linking teachers' salaries to exams, which offended the teachers' union.

These policy issues were already terrible, but at least one could say that he had his own political considerations. However, the issue of Senator Daniel Inoue's last wishes completely shattered his reputation.

Daniel Inoue wrote a letter from his sickbed, requesting Abercrombie to appoint his disciple Hisako Hanafusa to fill his Senate seat.

Even if Abercrombie disagreed, he should have at least chosen a more dignified approach. Instead, he directly said Hisako Hanafusa was too old and promoted his own Lieutenant Governor, Brian Shatz, which is tantamount to cutting off his own political future.

Chen Yiran skimmed through the report in his hand, and was quite surprised that someone could make so many messes after becoming governor.

Hawaii is actually a relatively wealthy state; tourism and naval bases alone are enough to support the state's economy.

The federal spending on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Marine Corps Base Kaneohe, Camp Schofield, and Ford Island accounts for 15% of the state's GDP, and the resulting economic impact is immeasurable. American soldiers also need to spend money in their daily lives.

This made the state government a huge employer, with the number of civil servants in a broad sense reaching hundreds of thousands, who were directly pushed to the opposite side by the governor.

Furthermore, because Hawaii is an island state with relatively few administrative divisions, the statewide teachers' union is very united. Unlike other states where there are teachers' unions in various cities, Hawaii has only one general teachers' union, which makes them even more united. These people were also removed by the governor.

The disrespect shown to Daniel Inoue is even more appalling. Daniel Inoue is the most powerful political figure in modern Hawaiian history, without even needing to be called one of them.

He was a Japanese-American, a World War II war hero who lost his right arm in the war. He later became the second longest-serving senator in U.S. Senate history and the President Pro Tempore, who was third in line to succeed the president during the war.

He's known as the godfather of Hawaii and is the only person in U.S. history to hold both the Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His status is similar to Biden's in Delaware. On this land, without respect for him, there is no future.

Chen Yiran hesitated for a moment and said, "From this perspective, there's absolutely no need to do anything. Isn't this person destined to lose the next election? Do we need to intervene now?"

Amy Zeggart nodded firmly: "The political logic in Hawaii is quite different from that in the United States. Because of the support from tourism and US military bases, Hawaiian voters don't prioritize economic considerations."

For them, the senses matter more. If we simply continue to fund Abercrombie's opponents next time, we'll just be seen as an ordinary capitalist company by Hawaii voters and government officials, no different from the previous Lanai island owners.

Overthrowing a governor is a very different kind of feat, as Hawaii previously didn't even have specific laws for impeaching governors. Although Article III, Section 19 of the Hawaii Constitution does state that a governor can be impeached.

In January, State Senator Les Evans introduced a bill called SB229, which for the first time enshrined impeachment procedures in draft law. Current law lacks statutory provisions specifying the reasons, methods, and procedures for impeaching governors and appointed officials.

This clause was specifically aimed at Abercrombie, although everyone knew he wouldn't ultimately sign the law that could impeach him. It was generally accepted that he would be voted out next time.

If we can support the wishes of all parties in Hawaii and successfully complete this impeachment, it will be a huge political victory.

We need this victory to demonstrate your stance. Although you are Chinese, you value the entire state of Hawaii, not just economically, but also politically.

"Won't some people accuse this of foreign interference in the US election?"

"There is some risk, but in Hawaii, that risk is the lowest. Hawaii is the only state in the United States without a single racial majority. 55.8% of the population is of Asian descent, 42.5% is of white descent, and 25.7% is of Hawaiian descent. It is a mixed-race society."

Hawaii is a more welcoming state for outsiders, and now is the perfect time.

You are not interfering in politics; you are simply speaking up for the oppressed Asian community. Abercrombie gave a Japanese-American senator seat to a white person, and you are simply giving some Asian-American legislators your support as an island owner.

Believe me, the chances of success are high. Abercrombie may not really have any bad intentions; he's a weightlifter and thought politics was like a barbell—something you could just brute force. But most of the time, politics is like a soft, tangled web of seaweed.

Chen Yiran pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, you can do it. I'm entrusting this matter to you. Let me see if you can actually get it done. If any problems arise, I'll say you were just leading students in a political simulation exercise."

"Don't worry, boss, I'll help you take over the entire state of Hawaii."
