Chapter 1057 Panama Canal
Speaking of General Monterey, he can be regarded as a legendary figure in Panama. It has been fifty years since the 1960s. He has led a team of hundreds of people to start the anti-American war. They have never won, but they have never failed. They have always been a headache for Americans, and they belong to the same class as people like **.
In the ranking of the world's mercenaries, this guy is also worth 20 million US dollars, but some mercenaries didn't think of doing anything to this guy. It is really too difficult to catch this guy. In the 1990s, the Americans dispatched hundreds of special forces into the jungles of Panama and failed to capture this guy. On the contrary, they lost a lot. Since then, no large-scale armed forces have entered Panama to deal with this guy. Well, relying on this peacetime, this general has achieved amazing development. Of course, it is impossible to say that it is his manpower, but this guy's economic strength. According to calculations by interested people, the general has at least more than tens of billions of dollars in funds. As for How it came about may only be known by this guy himself.
"Contact the general immediately, I will have an interview with this person in the near future, and is there any information in our database showing what this guy needs most, and some of his preferences?" Obviously the general is Li Er's first partner is now, and if he wants to do something in Panama, with the help of this general, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, because he spends a whole year thinking about how to do things.
"Master, there is still a lot of information about this general. What this general lacks most is arms. Because of the blockade by the Americans, their sources of arms are very scarce. They can only rely on Colombian drug dealers to provide them. For hundreds of As far as the team is concerned, this amount of ammunition is not enough at all, and this guy is extremely lustful, which we can take advantage of." The confidant reported to Li Er after looking at the information.
arms? Hehe, this seems to be the thing that war fighters and terrorists all over the world lack the most. This thing is what we need the most. The arsenal in Africa has been fully started. If it is fully powered, it can definitely become the The world's top ten arsenal, and I have air weapons in my hand. These things are rare items. If the general can't stand it anymore, I can ask my own people to bring air weapons to help You must know that some existing weapons are like paper in front of air weapons, and they have no effect at all.
Li Er's plan basically came out after a night of discussion, and it was also in the hands of Li Cong in Japan. Such a big plan would be impossible without Li Cong's nod. Li Er just wanted to use the general's momentum in Panama to follow The Panamanians were dissatisfied with the United States and took back the Panama Canal completely. Although the canal is now owned by Panama, the actual control is still in the hands of the United States. The importance of this canal to the United States is absolutely great. Yes, all the trade between the two coasts of the United States passes through here, otherwise it will take an extra month to go to the Strait of Magellan in the south, so the Americans have to hold this place in their own hands. When there is chaos, the American army will definitely pass by, but people with energy groups will definitely not be able to do anything in the army, so the Skull and Bones will dispatch elites to go south, and that is the time for Li Er to take action.
Located in Panama, Central America, the Panama Canal crosses the Isthmus of Panama and connects the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. The Panama Canal is owned and managed by the Republic of Panama and is a lock canal. Its length is about 65 kilometers (40 miles) from one coastline to the other, and about 82 kilometers (50 miles) from the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean (more precisely, the Caribbean Sea) to the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean. ), the widest part is 304 meters, and the narrowest part is 152 meters.
The main trade routes through the Panama Canal are between: the east coast of the continental United States and Hawaii and East Asia; the east coast of the United States and the west coast of South America; Europe and the west coast of North America; Europe and the west coast of South America; the east coast of North America and Oceania ; the East and West Coasts of the United States; and Europe and Australia.
In the canal's international traffic, the trade between the east coast of the United States and East Asia occupies the most important position. The main types of commodities that pass through the canal are automobiles, petroleum products, grain, and coal and coke.
If the Americans lose the right to manage the Panama Canal, all of this will come to naught, and the impact on the American economy will be like nuclear weapons. Therefore, Li Er judged that once the Panama Canal is lost, the Americans will definitely dispatch elites.
In terms of human resources, Skull and Bones is nothing compared to the Energy Group. Now the killing force of the Energy Group has expanded to thousands of people, and the Thunder Army has tens of thousands of people. Even the most useless members of the Thunder Army come out. It is also possible to kill those so-called special forces one by one. As for the extent to which those with numbers have developed, only Li Cong and himself know. They have not performed missions for a long time, and the information of the group cannot be fully displayed. It's their job.
The investigation department was still working very fast. When Li Er confirmed the implementation of the plan code-named "overthrow", the intelligence agents of the energy group had already met with the general. The place where the two parties chose to meet was a chaotic place in Panama. In this small town, the law here is like a heavenly book. There is no government official here. No one has no life in their hands. Drugs and ammunition here are like Chinese cabbage on the streets of China. Originally, Li Er was going to come here to meet the general, but the intelligence officers of the investigation department strictly prevented this situation. The danger of Er coming here is too great, even with a security team of a hundred or ten people, some people would dare to attack Li Er.
No matter what, the energy group has to send a powerful person. Luo Yan, the deputy director of the American Branch of the investigation department, is an old man in the investigation department. Of course, he is also a person with a number, and he is relatively high. Number fifty-four.
"Boy, I have nothing to do with your energy group. What do you mean by wanting to see me so eagerly?" Although General Monterey is seventy years old, the years still haven't left anything on this guy's face. He was just as arrogant as some leaders of private armed forces, and he looked like a big boss. He didn't feel that there was anything in this world that he could do nothing to him.
"The environment here is really bad. General, I'm here to represent our young master. I'm here to discuss a huge business deal with the general. I wonder if the general has thought that one day he can rule the whole of Panama?" Luo Yan covered his nose with a handkerchief and said, there is a special smell in the air that all men know, there are two girls who are basically naked behind the general, fools can imagine what the general was doing just now, It seems that the fact that this guy is more lustful in the data is correct.
"Hehe, rule the whole of Panama? Are you kidding me, boy, I know that your group is very powerful, and I also know that your boss is the richest man in the world, but you can't do things with money in this place. Look at the canal Those Americans, with them, I can't become the king of Panama. I know it for decades, but they won't kill me, because I can bring hundreds of millions to these Americans every year. U.S. military spending, if it weren’t for me, those Congressmen in the U.S. would start reducing their military spending.” Apparently, the general also had this idea, but decades of struggle let him know that he was not getting rid of the Americans. It is impossible to become the king of Panama at that time, and of course it is very clear that the Americans will not kill themselves, and they seem to have acquiesced in their own existence.
It's like offering a reward for yourself on the international mercenary website. It's not that there are those fledgling boys who want to fight to become famous in the past few years, but when they contact the employer over there, which is the US Southern Command, they give The answer is that you are not qualified, and you say that they are not qualified without even looking at it. What does this mean? It shows that this reward is only for the American people to see, and it shows that they are already working hard, but they are not doing anything.
Luo Yan glanced at the American fleet not far from the window. Seeing the densely packed warships, he couldn't help but think of a piece of information he had read. If Latin America is the backyard of the United States, then Panama is the gate. The United States stationed heavily in the Canal Zone, successively established 14 military bases or fortresses, and established the "Caribbean Command", which was later expanded into the "Southern Command", which is responsible for the operations of the three services in the Western Hemisphere outside the United States. The U.S. military bases in the Panama Canal Zone include Fort Clayton Army Base, Fort Amado, Rodman Naval Base, Howard Air Force Base and Albrook Air Force Base on the Pacific coast, and the Naval Electronic Communications Center on Galeta Island on the Atlantic coast. Fort Sherman Army Jungle Warfare Training Center and Kokosolo Air Force Base. During the Cold War, 65,000 U.S. soldiers and thousands of civilian personnel were deployed in the Canal Zone, the highest density in the world.
Although it is no longer the Cold War period, the number of Americans here is still not small. Now the Americans still have more than 5,000 troops here, but because the sovereignty here has been returned to the Panamanian government, so these People’s identities are construction workers or maintenance workers, but these workers are managed by the army, and the few warships and dozens of patrol boats make it easier to explain. These are all here for a long time. The interviewer, although the Panamanian government is very disgusted, but the Panamanian government without a navy wants to use wooden boats to get rid of these giant steel ships?
"Mr. General, it seems that everything here has worn down your vigor, Mr. General? Or you have already agreed with everything here? Think these are inevitable? Don't you want to change anything? I remember that in the seventies of the last century In the 10s, the general once told the people in Panama that you would drive these Americans out of Panama in your lifetime, don’t those words exist now?” Luo Yan said with a smile, but the general snapped at him when he finished speaking. He threw the red wine in his hand to the ground, which obviously hurt the general and made him feel uncomfortable.
"Boy, what do you mean by coming here? Tell your master what you mean, but if you are still talking nonsense with me here, I don't mind killing you directly. I don't believe that your people can kill me directly, America The government is the most capable in the world, but after decades, they have nothing to do with me." The general said proudly, he also has the capital of this pride, took out his pistol and threw it on the table, like Luo Yan If you continue to speak, you will kill this guy immediately.
Luo Yan has seen this kind of scene many times. This general just wants to show him off. When he is frightened by him, he will let this guy control the negotiation. Unfortunately, he will not be frightened. live, and the one who is really going to be scared must be the guy in front of him.
"Mr. General, I think the two children in the photo are familiar with this woman, right? These are some random photos taken by a few friends of mine in Atlanta, USA, but I found that the child in it is the same as General, you look a bit like me, I wonder if we guessed wrong?" Luo Yan unhurriedly took out a photo from his jacket pocket, it showed a woman with two children in a park play in.
"You." General Monterey snatched the photo from Luo Yan's hand. Luo Yan is not dissatisfied with it. I just give this to you. I still have a lot in my hand. If you are not honest It's fine to get your son here.
The general has always announced to the Panamanian people that he will not have any offspring in his life, because he will dedicate his life to the cause of Panama's independence, but now there is such a few-year-old son, if this is announced, the general The prestige in Panama is estimated to be gone immediately, and the son he has concealed for so many years will also be in danger. If the general's enemies these years are counted seriously, there must be eight hundred if not one thousand. These people deal with the general It's difficult, but it's okay to close your eyes when dealing with a child who is only a few years old.
"General, can we talk about our affairs calmly now?" Luo Yan said calmly.
"You all go out, you are not allowed to come in without my permission." Monterey thought for a while and let everyone in the room go out. Things must be kept secret, even my confidants can't believe it, otherwise I will be irresponsible to my son.
After everyone had gone out, Luo Yan took the suitcase he brought to the table. It was a valuable British aristocratic suitcase. This suitcase alone cost several hundred dollars. What was in it? The general looked at this guy suspiciously. In the impression of the general, he had never had any dealings with the Chinese, but his friends said that the Chinese are the most treacherous. It is better to be careful when doing anything. The strategy is strong, and the general is also very careful at the moment.
Luo Yan looked at the nervous look of the general and smiled, could he still come in with a bag of bombs? He opened the suitcase directly, and there were green dollar bills inside. The general can guarantee that he has never seen it in his life I have passed so many US dollar bills, although my own money may be much more than this, but this is the first time I have seen so much cash.
"Mr. General, this is a meeting gift from our young master. Regardless of whether our business is successful or not, these things are yours. Five million dollars." Luo Yan said relaxedly. Five million dollars is simply insignificant to the young master. Things, the young master’s daily expenses are estimated to be more than this amount, but for General Monterey, this is not a small amount. Although this guy is usually very good, but the money he makes is not so much, five hundred He saw the ten thousand dollars in his eyes, and at the same time he took a breath. What kind of business is it that can directly give five million dollars as a meeting gift? No matter how rich a person is, it is impossible to take money inappropriately.
Although the general was very attracted by money, he was still a little sober at the moment, pushed the money aside, stared at Luo Yan with two eyes and said, "Boy, your young master's family doesn't run a money printing machine, the five million dollars can Buy a whole office building in the best place in Panama, you can buy hundreds of beautiful chicks, tell me, what do you want me to do? If I can't do it, you can take the money back immediately, if it's hard for me to do it , I’m afraid the money is just a fraction.” Monterey’s decades of experience are also very clear, if the money is so easy to get, then there will not be so many deaths in Panama every year, where a person’s life is only a few thousand It looks like US dollars, five million US dollars is so easy to get?
"Hehe, the general is indeed a general, and he can still be so calm in the face of the temptation of five million dollars. Based on this, he can cooperate with our young master. Our young master's plan is to push you to be the leader of Panama. Then you control the whole of Panama, and then fulfill your promise to the people, drive out these damn Americans, and you become a hero that the people of Panama will always remember." Luo Yan knew that this guy would definitely not refuse, because of this temptation Too big for Monterey. . ..
