America's Big Hero

Page 645

Noriega, a Colombian-Panamanian, um, Panama is almost all Colombians. It was originally a province of Colombia. The United States supported the Panamanians to establish an independent country in order to dig the Panama Canal.

Therefore, the United States has stationed troops in Panama and has always controlled the Panama Canal.

However, in the years after World War II, as the United States has been spreading the idea of ​​nationalism and independence, a large number of colonies have separated from Britain, France and other countries to control independence. At the same time, this trend of thought has also spread to South America. Be dishonest.

In recent years, the Panamanians have been clamoring to take back the ownership of the Panama Canal.

Of course, the United States will not sit still, and launched several coups under the covert manipulation. However, after the coups succeeded, these people were also dishonest.

After all, he is also a hero of a small country, how could he be willing to be a puppet all the time.

The same goes for this Noriega.

In October, the CIA plotted a coup but failed.

It just so happened that Sean killed Pablo a while ago, and he had a lot of evidence in his hands, some of which implicated Noriega.

Half of the drugs that Pablo transported to the United States were transited through Panama, how could Noriega have not intervened at all.

On December 12, a few days before Christmas, Umbrella participated in the operation to capture Noriega.

"I want to take revenge on the British, the Malays, and Ah San. Grandpa Fifth will help out with ideas." Sean raised his buttocks and sat down, laughing.

"You haven't suffered anything, is it necessary?" Old David squinted at Sean.

Xiao En nodded seriously, covered his chest, and said solemnly: "It's necessary, it's so necessary!"

"Fifth Grandpa, think about it, who am I? I'm a son of the Rockefeller family!"

"Are they kicking my ass, no, they are hitting Rockefeller in the face!"

"Whether it's tolerable or unbearable, if the Rockefeller family doesn't express anything, wouldn't it make outsiders think that the Rockefeller family is dead and in decline, so it's easy to bully!"

"If this is an ordinary person, I don't care if I scold Rockefeller a few times. This is called an adult not counting the faults of a villain, but the other party is obviously not ordinary!"

"Personally, I don't care. As you said, there is not much loss, but I can't watch these guys take Rockefeller seriously. The glory of the family makes me unable to bear this kind of humiliation for a moment!" Xiao Xiao Eun clenched his fists and waved his arms vigorously.

Old man David squinted his eyes and tilted his head, just looking at Sean.

Sean's eyes were 'pure', and he looked the same way.

"Heh!" Old man David laughed inexplicably, which made Sean unable to see what he was thinking.

After a while, the old man David said: "Didn't you plan to cut the Malays and make Sarawak independent? This is not enough."

Speaking of this, Sean's face collapsed. He thought this matter was simple. It is not so easy to make a region independent. It doesn't mean that the umbrella can help Sarawak withstand the attack of the Malay army. Government armed.

To establish an independent country, the most basic thing is to be recognized by all countries, or more precisely, to be recognized by most of the five permanent members.

At least the British will not agree!

The Soviets would not agree either.

There is a high probability that the east side will ignore it.

France is okay.

Sean in the United States is not sure how to handle it. This matter is not something that can be done by convincing Lao Bu alone. It needs the approval of Congress.

Sean really doesn't have that much influence if he wants to convince Congress to agree. He has only been around for a few years, and his background is seriously insufficient. It is wishful thinking to want all factions to follow his baton, unless the family takes action.

Otherwise, Sean wouldn't be here.

"This matter...is not impossible." Old man David said slowly: "You can start preparing. If there is hope, the family will find a way to persuade Congress."

"But recently, do you want to make a fuss!" As he said, the old man David stared at Sean, his eyes full of warning and said: "There is a big problem with the old man, and everyone is more nervous at the moment."

Sean blinked, he knew something big happened to the old man, but isn't that next year?

"Lithuania is going to declare independence." Old man David explained.

Sean was stunned for a while before he realized that the disintegration of the Soviet Union did not happen suddenly. It was just the impression of ordinary people. In fact, it lasted for a long time, and the constituent countries declared independence one by one.

"Lithuania... when." Sean asked again with a click of his tongue.

"Just a few months, soon."

"I see." Sean nodded, "What about the British?"

"Don't look for me!" Old man David stretched out his hand angrily and yelled at Sean, "It's not enough for you to cause trouble in Northern Ireland, what else do you want, you really want to divide Britain!"

"Ah!" Sean nodded.

"Impossible, don't think about it, the United States will not agree." Old David shook his head, "Britain is divided, who can hold back the European countries, especially the Germans!"

"Germany has been developing very fast in recent years, especially their industrial strength. Some time ago, it was pushed to the Berlin Wall. East and West Germany merged. Germany's future development will inevitably go to a higher level. We need the British to contain the Germans, Russians, French."

"As long as Britain does not fall, these countries will never develop."

Sean looked at old David David with a strange expression on his face, you know the British!

Seeing Xiao En like this, the old man David couldn't help laughing, spread his hands, the old man said with a smile: "It's not that I framed them, it's what they've been doing, if it wasn't for the great sacrifice of the British, Repeatedly crushing the plans of the French, Germans, and Russians to unify the European continent, the United States will never be what it is today."

"The British delayed several countries for 200 years, and this gave the United States a chance to develop and rise!"

"You have to learn to be grateful!" Old man David said, raised his hand and made a sign of the cross in front of him, "May God bless England!"

Sean laughed out loud, old man David is still old man David, his mouth is really bad.

If the British heard this, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.

It took a long time for the two of them to stop laughing. Sean shook his head and said, "We are Germans. You have a very kind heart."

"But now we are American shareholders, and I am willing to help them, but not at the expense of my own interests." Old man David shrugged.

"Don't worry about the UK, there will always be opportunities. Do you know the European Exchange Rate Mechanism?" David asked in a low voice.

Sean nodded. The European Exchange Rate System was established in 1979 and is the forerunner of the euro.

Countries were not ready to give up their own currencies at that time, but they also reached a consensus that the exchange rates of currencies among countries should be fixed rather than continuously floating.

Since Germany is the most powerful economy in Europe, the exchange rates of European countries are all converted into the value of the Deutsche Mark, and all countries agree to maintain the exchange rate of their currencies relative to the level of the Deutsche Mark within a range of 6%.

That is ERM-1.

The member countries of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism are Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark and Ireland. Spain joined the system in June 1989.

In 1985, the countries of the European Community signed the Single European Act.

This relatively fixed exchange rate can strengthen the flow of personnel, goods, labor and capital among European countries, establish a "big internal market", expand domestic demand, and reduce transaction costs.

At the same time, the elimination of exchange rate risks in trade transactions in various countries, the simplification of clearing and payment procedures, and the reduction of currency speculation have stimulated the further opening of the market and greatly promoted the effective allocation of trade, capital circulation, and resources.

With the development of productivity, the domestic markets of various countries need to break through national boundaries to form a more adequate division of labor and establish a new competition order.

Politically speaking, Germany, France, etc. realize that Europe must unite to stabilize its discourse power in the world. This system also allows European countries to gradually become a whole, increasing their international status and external influence. , Improve the voice of countries.

"The UK is negotiating with the ERM to join the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. The negotiation has been going on for half a year, and no surprises, it will be reached this year." Old David said.

"Uh...and then." Sean looked puzzled, what did this have to do with his revenge on the British.

The old man David squinted at Sean for a while, and then said: "The reason why the Iron Lady was kicked out is because the UK's economic development has been weak in recent years. A large part of the reason is the European exchange rate mechanism, which has increased Britain's foreign trade transactions. Over the years, their foreign trade has shrunk significantly!"

"The position of the British pound in Europe has also been severely suppressed, and it is gradually being caught up by the German mark. If this continues, London, the financial center, will not be able to keep it!"

"After all, it's an island country." As he said, old man David shook his head.

Sean suddenly realized, and after a while, "And then!"

"Idiot!" Old man David slapped Sean angrily, "Didn't I just say that it is precisely because of the British's fearless dedication that they bought the United States a lot of time to grow and develop, and the United States is what it is today. .”

"Historical experience tells us that when the British and Europeans get together, the solution will definitely not be good!"

"I don't think there will be any exceptions this time." Old David squinted at Sean, "Is this enough reason?"

The corner of Sean's mouth twitched, his fist was hard!

No, why do you always look at people sideways!

He always has a condescending attitude and looks like he wants to punch him!

Of course, in public, old man David has always been amiable.

Although the old man's attitude was very bad, Sean still understood that he was not optimistic about the bond between the British pound and the Mark, and naturally he was not optimistic that the British economy could get rid of its weakness.

When the shit stirrer stirred up the system to the point of collapse, it was the time for Sean to take the British seriously.

As for how Sean seized the opportunity, the old man didn't care.

After Old Man David said this, Sean recalled some dusty memories again, the incident of Soros sniping the pound.

Sean's eyes are bright, I like this!

Rockefeller is too big, and to a certain extent represents the will of the United States, but it is inconvenient to start with this kind of thing.

It doesn't matter if Sean is to make a fuss about it.

After the family reunion, Sean left with a full harvest.

It's just that for Ah San, old man David has nothing to do. There are too many loopholes and the country is corrupt, so it's hard to start.

When he finally left, old man David reminded Sean to pay attention to South Africa.

Chapter 472: Taking precautions

After returning from the Rockefeller Manor, Sean paid attention to what old man David said.

Lithuania wants independence, boy!

What this means Sean knows very well.

With such a big event happening right in front of his eyes, Sean felt that he would be sorry for himself if he didn't participate in it.

However, participation is participation, and you must not act blindly. If you don't make a move, you will be fine. If you make a move, you will get absolute benefits!

As soon as he came back, Sean got Armstrong over with one phone call.

"Lithuania is about to become independent?"

One sentence confused Armstrong, "Do you know?"

The intelligence organization of the umbrella is already very large, with thousands of personnel, but you can tell by looking at the scope of the branch. It’s like spreading sesame salt. It can only be deployed in key places, like Lithuania is going to be independent. This kind of news is impossible to know.

After all, it is Northern Europe, the territory of Lao Maozi...

Of course, this does not mean that the umbrella is afraid of the old man, it is impossible to be afraid, and no one is afraid!

The main reason is that there is no war in that broken place for the time being, and there is no money to fish for.

"Send all the people from Europe to investigate the situation there, um... Don't be all in Lithuania, just look around and find out more about the dudes," Sean ordered.

"What are the main aspects?" Armstrong asked, frowning. The scope of intelligence is too large, and there is no direction. Even if he sprinkles all 1000 people in his hand, it is not enough.

Sean pursed his lips and tapped his fingers for a while. He didn't know anything about Lithuania except the name, so how could he know what information he wanted.

"Forget it, don't ask so many questions, send the person there first." After thinking for a while, Sean waved his hand, "I want to get some information from the CIA, wait for me to see, don't worry."

……

Langley, Virginia, CIA headquarters.

In terms of the relationship between Sean and the CIA, there really wasn't much communication in the past, but after the Pablo incident last time, the communication between the two sides became closer.

After all, the CIA is an external department. In fact, many places have the possibility of cooperating with the umbrella, but they have not found any opportunities in the past.

For example, if the CIA wants to send something or someone, the umbrella can use its own channels to help!

As long as there are not a few big countries, in those small countries where the umbrella has business, the channel security of the umbrella is still very high.

Since breaking the barrier last time, the exchanges between the two sides have become more frequent in the past six months.

This is why Sean thought of the CIA when he needed information.

After a phone call, Sean flew to the headquarters.

Of course, in theory, Sean is not a member of the CIA, so he has no right to check some intelligence documents here, but as the actual "shareholder" of the United States, many things Sean knows are highly confidential.

These rich people have a level of secrecy in the intelligence department itself.

Attributes such as patriotism are not quantifiable in themselves and can only be judged subjectively. However, things like interest binding can be completely quantified.

Anyone can betray the United States, but the major consortiums and the super-rich cannot. If the United States is finished, these consortiums and big families will also be finished.

Who said money has no borders! ?

"About Lithuania's intelligence, let's go to the archives." Elio Bowie greeted with a smile.
