Chapter 1306: Don't Think Too Much About Making Money

Colombians are temporarily off cooking, and the guerrillas have jumped out to grab the blame, will this still bite people's companies?

It's a joke to shout and kill again, and you can't bite it if you want to, go back to the boss of Washington and sue again, and by the way, stir up the treasure of the San Jose: The unmanned submersible rented by the Navy has gone down to the bottom of the sea at a depth of more than 200 meters, and the gold and silver coins left on the bottom of the sea before the "Searcher" have not had time to salvage it can already show that it is the San Jose!

If the legend that has been circulating for nearly 300 years is true, it means that American salvage ships have fished away huge treasures worth at least billions of dollars.

Those are not paper money, let alone "good numbers" military aid, they are real money!

The treasure was taken from the doorstep, and Bogotá knew that the possibility of using force to retake the treasure was over, so he wondered if he could get it back from Washington.

With more than 400,000 troops and a paramilitary force called the National Police, the Colombian armed forces can be regarded as experts in fighting in the mountains and jungles, but in terms of force, they have no way to deal with the "Sunshine Star" company, which has its nest in North America and Africa, and Bogotá knows this.

The treasure was taken away, and the four cutting-edge frigates in the navy that can be called relatively large surface combat ships are basically finished in one sink, and whether the last three can be repaired is a question.

The heart of the Bogotá side is dripping blood!

A few years ago, there were four American-built Allen-Sumner-class destroyers built during World War II and the first-generation "Dilly"-class frigates designed after World War II, but all the destroyers were scrapped in previous years, and the old American-made "Dilly"-class frigates were also in a state of actual scrapping and could not go to sea.

Now it's okay, the dignified Colombia will become a laughing stock in South America, and the family has no surface combat ships that can sail far away, and it is still killed by a private company, and it is a shame to say it!

What to do?

Find the boss Washington to cry, and the crying child will always have candy to eat.

Bogotá has an abacus that he can't come up with, and Zhang Nan here has dug up two lifetimes of treasures and knows a lot about the thoughts of Colombians.

Before the "Searcher" arrived in the Panama Canal Zone, Zhang Nan called Captain Jamie: "After arriving in the Canal Zone, if the relevant personnel want to go on board the ship for inspection, cooperate with the other party to carefully seal all the salvage items, and let Miles do a good job of contacting."

Tell the crew not to worry about bonuses, anyway, the boss and I don't have to worry at all, we haven't violated any American law.

Since we have not violated the laws of the United States, no one can take a single silver coin in this matter, otherwise we can use the laws of the United States and our own rules against all enemies!"

I'm used to using a hammer, it's 92 years now, and the laws of the United States are so horizontal on this planet!

The only superpower that is still on the rise, this is its confidence, whether you are happy or arrogant, this is the reality on this planet!

......

The boss and his friends ate and drank coffee, and the guys in Colombia got into the jungle and hurriedly evacuated, and the "Searcher", which won the naval battle and shot down the enemy plane, finally sailed to the port of Colón on the south bank of the entrance to the Caribbean side of the Panama Canal, and approached the port area of Cokosolo on the east side according to the guidance of the pilots sent by the US Navy.

The Panama Canal Zone, to put it bluntly, is a U.S. leased territory, and although this port area is not a military port, it is also a backup supply stop for U.S. warships passing through the canal. The surrounding area, including the seaport, is the territory of the United States, and the people stationed here are not Panamanian police, let alone Panamanian soldiers, but all American GIs.

Three years ago, Washington sent a large army to invade Panama in order to control this important canal, and the security standards in this canal zone are now higher than a few years ago, so as not to cause trouble by some Panamanians.

Before the ship sailed into the dock, Andre in the cab of the station said to Miles on the side: "This is a good place, at least we don't have to worry about getting rockets." ”

There is satellite TV on board, and Andre and others know about the volcanic eruption of the Cartagena military port by the "guerrillas", and the environment around the port area of Cokosolo is a bit similar: there is a mountain nearby, and the mortars can be set up on the head, and the range can be far away.

Miles nodded in agreement, he had been stationed here and knew things that he couldn't see on the surface.

Pointing to the mountains in front of him, he said: "After so many years of operation, these mountains in front of them have no Panamanian facilities, and the buildings that can be seen are our American property, and Panama is completely forbidden to non-Americans unless they work in it." ”

"Can we go up and have a look?"

Miles turned his head when he heard this, looked at Andre Zhengse and said: "I don't want to know what your background is, but you will have a US passport and a US driver's license, except for a few small military control areas around here, and those civilian facilities that are not allowed to enter by idlers, you can walk anywhere else." ”

Andre and others also need to cooperate with other members of the "United Forces", who belong to the relatively core personnel of the company, so the Red Devils do not disguise themselves as Americans.

Even if he came from Russia, he didn't deliberately hide his habitual style, and after Colonel Myers stayed with him for a while, he could feel that these people were not simple, either from the special forces or the intelligence department.

He really didn't want to know what Andre and the others were doing before, it was not good to know too much, anyway, these people didn't think about blowing up the White House and the Pentagon, they just came to the United States to make a lot of money, and they looked like the core security personnel who should be the boss, and they all came with their wives and children.

If you come to the United States to cause sabotage, few people will bring their families with them, and Andrey's group is obviously not.

Since he is not going to the United States to endanger national security, Miles, an American, is too lazy to listen to more secrets.

After this was finished, Miles added, "The boat may have to stop here for a few days, and if you don't want to stay on the boat if you are bored, you can go to a resort hotel halfway up the mountain." I'm familiar with it, it's a military industry, and it's open to all Americans in the Canal Zone.

I have taken my family to stay twice before, and the service attitude is OK, especially the restaurant there is excellent and the view is good.

Staying there to the south you can see the port and part of the canal, and the north side is the Caribbean Sea, that is, the hotel only charges US dollars, and the Babo Asia-Pacific is heavy, and the hotel does not accept it. ”

Yes, Andre, a guy who doesn't know whether the joke is high or low, actually grinned when he heard this "American joke" that was not very funny.

Panama is not only controlled by the United States, but the whole country is almost the same, and it can be regarded as "dependent" to the United States: as a sovereign country, it only issues coins and does not have its own banknotes.

Since 1904, Panama has signed an agreement with the United States to make the US dollar the country's legal tender.

Not to mention that in the Canal Zone, good hotels in other parts of Panama have to be paid in US dollars: the Panamanian currency, the Balboa, is equivalent to the US dollar, but the largest denomination of coins is also equivalent to the US dollar.

It's okay to buy hot dogs and hamburgers in the same dollar currency, but obviously you can't rely on coins alone to stay in a hotel and eat a big meal, so can you carry a backpack of money to pay the bill?

It's an exaggeration, a backpack can have thousands of dollars, but it's still too heavy, that is, no one likes to go out with a few kilograms of coins, cumbersome.

A country uses the currency of other countries as its own legal tender, which is also a strange thing in the strange, and the Panamanians want to get rid of the control of the United States?

Dream!

Even if the management of the Canal Zone is taken back in the future, it will still be firmly in the hands of Washington.

......

Andrei didn't care how many years Panama would have to use the dollars, and his trip actually ended when the "Searcher" entered the waters of the Canal Zone, and the safety of the salvage ship and the catch did not need to be considered by him, nor was it his turn to think about it.

They are red devils, not supermen, since the salvage ship has entered the area controlled by the US military, how things will develop next is the boss's business, and Andre has no patience to control all this.

Not all problems must be solved with a hammer, and when it is time to be reasonable, we must be reasonable.

Everything is normal, the "Searcher" docks, similar to the rules of any seaport in the continental United States for large ships arriving after their own voyages, if the materials on this ship are to be unloaded, they have to go through the procedures of the relevant departments, this crew...

The "Seeker" had no intention of unloading the cargo at all, so there was no need to go through the customs clearance formalities; it was originally thought that the US military would have personnel come on board to inspect the ship, but as a result, only two people came to the port area to contact the ship to remove the garbage and replenish the necessities, and they did not care about what was happening on the salvage ship.

As for the crew members of the salvage ship, they all have American passports, and this will be a call at a civilian port controlled by the United States, so of course they can get on and off the ship freely, and no one will interfere at all.

The people on the ship understood the situation in front of them, and they had to sigh at the strength of the boss's energy, and also understood the thinking of the high-level in Washington: this is a matter of course power and robber thinking!

The Searcher is an American ship, and the owner is an American living in New York, and even if he is of Chinese descent, he is still an American de jure .

The things caught on the salvage ship this time look at the current form: nine times out of ten, they will be shipped to the United States, and even if the wealth belongs to the individual, it will still stay in the United States in the end, right?

In that case, who wants to meddle!

The commander of the US military stationed in Panama also did not want to cause trouble for himself, and since he had not received an order from the Pentagon, he would not send someone to a US civilian ship to point fingers.

It's asking for trouble to intervene in this kind of thing, and if people say something less in the future, hehe, who the hell can say it clearly!

No idlers boarded the ship, but the people on the "Searcher" landed in batches to enjoy the feeling of being down-to-earth, and by the way, they also tasted Panamanian food.

Miles did not have André and the others to take advantage of the ship's supplies to go to Cologne, and returned half a day later, telling the others a message: "The commander here wants us to set sail for the mainland tomorrow, and it is better not to carry any guided weapons on board."

We can rent a warehouse to store the equipment for the time being, and the commander means to get it away as soon as possible. ”

Andre, who went to the halfway hotel to enjoy a Panamanian-style seafood meal, also had something to inform Miles: "The boss has already called, and we will deal with the missiles." He has reached an agreement with some people in Washington that all the treasures will be shipped to New York first, and we will not have to worry about the lawsuits that we may face next.

Also, I think these missiles will be provided to the Colombian guerrillas, that they have to send people to pick them up, and the road conditions in this rainforest area, hundreds of kilometers south to the border, are rotten enough. ”

Panama shares a border with Colombia, but southern Panama is extremely sparsely populated, with many of the pristine rainforests being largely unexplored.

Red devils naturally hate rainforest environments!

didn't think about the second half of Andre's suggestion, Miles actually resolutely disagreed!

"Absolutely not, the commander here definitely doesn't want the Colombian guerrillas to have surface-to-air missiles flowing out of his jurisdiction, and, Andrey, I don't trust any Colombian, this matter will bring big trouble to our friends in the future..."

"Whatever you want. ”

Andre didn't insist, he was not familiar with South American things, and this place did not belong to the traditional scope of activities of the Red Devils before, "Or it can be more troublesome and let people take a boat to Ecuador, anyway, the cocaine of the Colombian guerrillas basically transit from there, and it will be easy to hand over there, what do you say?"

He didn't care, what Andrei said was just a suggestion.

This is a good suggestion, otherwise the few sets of the most advanced individual anti-aircraft missiles left on the ship will be thrown into the sea, even if there are many in the company's treasury and do not care, it will be a pity.

Weapons are produced to kill people, and throwing new goods into the sea is the biggest waste, and it will be a hassle to ship anti-aircraft missiles to Colombia from other places in the future.

But there's a catch...

Captain Jamie asked, "Those guerrillas give money, so can we take it?"

Where does the money come from?

Selling drugs - products to earn!

Colombia not only has cocaine, but also opium poppy, hemp, and heroin is also exported to the United States every year: the "Silver Triangle" is famous.

Jamie is a good guy, he is just an ordinary officer on the ship, not as open-minded as Andre, Miles and others.

In this regard, Myers said: "I said Mr. Captain, you don't need to trade, it's a Russian arms dealer who sells missiles."

Money itself is not dirty or dirty, we sell missiles and collect money. As for the question of how the money was earned by the previous owner of the money, we can actually ignore it automatically..."

Myers also has a point: Washington's money is clean?

How many arms does the United States sell the world every year?

That money is for killing!

Don't think too much about making money, just like Zhang Nan, who has become a de facto super arms dealer, naturally there is no pressure on the people below to do some business with the Colombian guerrillas, and it is not him who does it anyway.

He is not a good person, really, Zhang Nan is only a good person when he needs to, and he has never been a good person in his bones.
