Chapter 797: Are You ‘Brother Gongzi’?
Panama is located in the middle of the American continent, with a long and narrow land area, but its geographical location is very important. It borders Costa Rica to the west, Colombia to the east, and Cuba and other countries to the south. And because of the Grand Canal dug in the country, Panama's shipping industry Very developed.
Of course, it is precisely because of this canal that can cross the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean that various countries secretly compete fiercely in Panama. Every country wants to control this important shipping channel and grasp the huge benefits contained in it.
On the other hand, Panama, because of its small size and weak power, has been unable to compete with the turmoil caused by the agents supported by various countries. Therefore, it is also a very miserable country.
However, because it is located in a tropical area, the scenery and climate here are very pleasant, which is very suitable for people to travel and live here. Therefore, Panama's tourism industry is very developed. At the same time, the prosperity of tourism has also led to the prosperity of the service industry.
Since Panama has few mineral resources, tourism and service industries can be regarded as the pillars of its domestic industrial economy and the main source of Panama's income.
If it were a stable period, Panama would be able to rely on these two industries to live a prosperous life. However, once Panama's domestic situation becomes unstable, these two industries will be ruined.
After all, no tourist wants to go to a place full of crises and dangers. Everyone knows that a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Only a madman will approach danger regardless of it.
Jin Xiantai is not a madman, let alone an idiot. He came to Panama out of helplessness. Who asked the senior management of West Point Hospital to give him such a task.
Therefore, Kim Hyun Tae had no choice but to arrive in Panama as a business inspection.
Panama is already very hot in April, with the temperature always staying around 28 degrees. If summer enters, the temperature will be even higher.
Those who came to pick him up were people from the U.S. Embassy in Panama, a team of Panamanian military police, and an official from the Panamanian Ministry of Economy and Trade.
After all, Kim Hyuntai is a super rich man. When he comes to Panama for a business inspection, it is worthy for Panama to send a qualified official to receive him.
Once upon a time, Kim Hyuntai could also enjoy such treatment. After exchanging pleasantries and boarding the Hummer bulletproof car that was randomly transported, Kim Hyuntai still felt a little like a dream.
After all, he was a very ordinary diao silk father in his previous life. He had never dared to think about going to a country and being received by ministerial-level officials.
Although Panama is not a big country, it is still a country.
A deputy ambassador from the Embassy in Panama came to pick him up, and he also boarded Kim Hyun Tae’s personal bulletproof Hummer.
When there were no outsiders around, the deputy ambassador finally spoke.
"The situation in Panama is very unstable. There is intelligence that the Soviets are supporting the current government here through the Cubans. The purpose is to control the Panama Canal and use Panama as a base to influence surrounding South American countries and cause some trouble in our backyard. Let's take our attention away from Afghanistan."
The deputy ambassador is a white man in his thirties, who looks a bit like the one with the zipper door. He has a big nose and speaks with a thick Texas accent.
Jin Xiantai had already deduced the information the other party told him when he was on the plane, but now after listening to what the other party said, Jin Xiantai was completely sure that his judgment was correct.
These are all trivial matters, and Jin Xiantai doesn't want to pay too much attention to them.
Whether it is the Soviets or the Cubans, it is obvious that the Panamanian puppet regime they supported has stabilized Panama before it has truly taken hold of power, so the Americans are not without opportunities.
Jin Xiantai showed a thoughtful look at this time, and asked solemnly: "What role does the French play in this? Don't tell me that the French are not involved in the current situation. I suspect that it was the French who instigated this matter. of."
Relative to the Soviets and Cubans,
In fact, Kim Hyun Tae was most suspicious of the French.
The Panama Canal was originally controlled by the French, and Panama was originally a French colony, and the original government had always received material assistance from the French.
And because of the corrupt situation in Vietnam, the French could not support their relationship in Vietnam alone. Therefore, at the expense of the Panama Canal, the Americans were involved in the mess of the Vietnam War.
It is absolutely impossible for the French to give up Panama willingly.
It's just that under the circumstances at that time, the French really had no choice.
If they don't pay the right price, how can Americans be moved?
But since the French are unwilling to pay the price, they will definitely do something behind the scenes, because this is the usual style of the French.
Anyone who thinks that the French are only good at picking up girls and making love, then that person must be an idiot. In fact, the French are also very insidious and vulgar. There is no doubt about this.
The deputy ambassador sitting next to Kim Hyun Tae raised his lips, obviously satisfied that Kim Hyun Tae could think of the French. Then he responded to Kim Hyun Tae and said: "When the French handed over the management rights of the canal, they left a lot of loopholes. And there were strikes and all kinds of troubles after we took over, so God doesn’t believe that there weren’t French people causing trouble.”
The deputy ambassador's response once again confirmed Kim Hyun-tae's judgment.
However, the deputy ambassador did not explain this matter very clearly, so Kim Hyun Tae had no choice but to continue asking.
After all, I don't seem to be a person who doesn't understand anything. I have to ask questions about everything, which will give people a very bad feeling.
This mission is his assessment at West Point, so he needs to leave a good impression on the relevant people.
Therefore, Jin Xiantae pretended to have a look of understanding on his face, and nodded as if he understood everything.
But in the eyes of the deputy ambassador, Kim Hyun-tae's behavior made him feel that Kim Hyun-tae was a worthy young man. He knew everything about everything and would not ask questions casually.
Compared with some of the outstanding West Point students he had received in the past, Jin Xiantai was obviously special, outstanding, and mature.
It's just that the deputy ambassador didn't know that Kim Hyun Tae was just pretending invisibly.
Of course, Kim Hyun Tae wasn't pretending to be sexy, he was just pretending.
Fortunately, many of Kim Hyun Tae's judgments have been confirmed, so there is no need to delve too deeply.
"You will be very busy in the next period of time. I am your assessor for this mission. I will record some of your performance and submit it to the West Point Hospital. And I will not provide you with any help. Everything here must be done." It’s on your own.”
The deputy ambassador was very honest with Jin Xiantai, and directly told Jin Xiantai not to come to him if nothing happened, and to contact him less, but he would secretly observe him and then evaluate him.
Let me go, what is this?
Jin Xiantai complained silently in his heart.
Everything in this different time and space is so different, but Kim Hyun Tae still has to get used to it all.
Looking out through the car window, the scenery on the roadside is still very good.
There are also many girls in cool clothes walking on the street, and all of them have very hot figures. It can be seen that maybe this is the talent of Latin American girls.
Panama was a Spanish colony in the early days, but finally fell into the hands of the French. Therefore, there are many Spanish and French mixed-race people in Panama, and most of the mixed-race people are very beautiful. Therefore, there are many handsome men and beautiful women on the streets of Panama. This is not surprising. .
Before World War II, Panama was part of Colombia, but after World War II, the French instigated independence from Colombia, which led to the current Panama.
This is different from another time and space.
In another time and space, Panama's separation from Colombia was instigated by the Americans.
But in this different time and space, he became a Frenchman.
"The girls here are very enthusiastic. I guarantee you will have a lot of fun here, but I still want to remind you not to forget what you have to do. Of course, I don't care so much about my personal life."
When he caught a glimpse of Kim Hyuntai looking at the beauties outside the car, the deputy ambassador, who was responsible for assessment and evaluation, smiled with a "clear" expression on his face, and then said this to Kim Hyuntai.
Obviously, he had been misunderstood.
But Kim Hyun Tae didn't bother to explain.
Instead, he asked: "If I have important intelligence information, should I come to you? And should I act at will, or do I need you to assign me some tasks?"
Well, these are two very important points. Kim Hyun Tae must ask clearly.
"We have a CIA team. They will be under your management from now on, and they will all be members of your business investigation team. If you have information or anything in the future, you can handle it through them. I don't have any tasks for you here. Everything will be done as you please. Whatever you do, I’m just responsible for the evaluation.”
Obviously, the West Point Academy used Panama as a 'proving ground' to test themselves.
Or the Americans don't care what happens to Panama now. The Americans will intervene with force in the end anyway, so there is no problem even if Kim Hyun Tae makes a fuss.
Kim Hyun Tae has not thought about this yet.
But when he heard the other party say that he was completely free to act, he was stunned for a moment, and then he felt mixed emotions.
He felt that this kind of thing was just like playing house, and it was too much of a joke.
At this time, the deputy ambassador handed a card to Jin Xiantae.
After taking the card, Jin Xiantai took a look and found that there was a phone number on the card.
"Call this number and you can meet your temporary subordinates. Here I wish you good results in the assessment. After all, your identity brings you great advantages. These are some of the Western Points I have seen in the past. It’s something that outstanding students don’t have, so I’m optimistic about you.”
The car arrived at the U.S. Embassy, and the deputy ambassador got out of the car.
Jin Xiantai started his Hummer and prepared to go to the hotel he had booked.
Jin Xiantai thought about what the deputy ambassador said before leaving for a while.
After a long time, Jin Xiantai finally understood what the deputy ambassador said.
It is true that his identity gave him a considerable advantage.
After all, not everyone can have the opportunity to conduct business inspections as a wealthy person.
Especially since he is not a fake, but a real rich person.
Therefore, it will obviously be very convenient to do things in Panama with this identity.
"I hope Panamanian officials are more independent, so that it will be more convenient for me to do things." After thinking about the deputy ambassador's words, Jin Xiantai shook his head in confusion, and then said to himself.
At the same time, Jin Xiantai took out his mobile phone and dialed the number on the card.
Toot toot!
After a busy signal, the phone was connected, and a girl's voice came from the other side.
"I am Selena, and you are the young master?"
Um?
Who is the young master?
Jin Xiantai was stunned for a moment while holding the phone.
At the same time, he was also surprised by the name given by the person opposite. (.)
