Reborn American Giants

Chapter 95 Transactions

The sun is shining and it's another good day. Governor Scoon's mood is much better than before. He got up very early in the morning and is currently in the restaurant, enjoying his favorite omelette served to him by the maid.

breakfast.

Since the independence of Grenada in 1974, the power of the Governor-General appointed by the Queen to manage this island country has been shaken to the end. However, the newly independent Grenada government did not dare to offend the British government too much, so it continued to join the Commonwealth of Nations.

Governor, as a political "mascot"

", becoming the honorary ruler of Grenada. Although it is a "mascot", the treatment it deserves is not bad. As an old man in his sixties, it is indeed a good idea to retire in this beautiful Caribbean island.

In this place, the rainy, wet and cold weather in England is really not suitable for his old bones.

However, since the "New Gem Movement" party came to power, it has implemented pro-Soviet and pro-Cuba policies, which made Governor Scoon feel a little bad. However, before he could launch an "honorable retreat", Grenada once again experienced a sudden change.

Austin and others who implemented a more radical communist line launched a coup. This time Governor Scoon was not so lucky. As soon as the coup ended, Austin sent soldiers to closely guard the Governor's Mansion.

Governor En is equivalent to being under "house arrest".

The People's Revolutionary Army guarding him made Governor Scoon feel that his personal safety was not guaranteed, but he had no choice. External communication had been completely blocked. He could only live in fear all day long in the small world of the Governor's Mansion.

, praying to God that those ferocious soldiers outside would not suddenly burst into the Governor's Palace one day and "sacrifice the flag" with him, a representative of capitalism.

But now Governor Scoon no longer has to worry. Although there are still soldiers guarding outside the Governor's Mansion, they are his own allies, American soldiers.

On the 25th, after being rescued by the US Navy SEALs, Governor Scoon was quickly sent to the USS Independence and met with Lieutenant General Metcalf, who commanded the invasion.

The lieutenant general expressed politely that he was concerned about the unfair treatment he suffered, and that those who committed crimes must be punished. At the same time, he hinted that in view of the fact that Grenada's government has lost its leader for a period of time, the new government will still

It has not been established whether Governor Scoon, as the Governor of Grenada appointed by the Queen, can assume greater responsibilities.

This gave Scoon some hesitation. He said that he needed to contact the British government before he could reply to Lieutenant General Metcalfe.

Lieutenant General Metcalfe expressed his understanding that the purpose of the Americans choosing Governor Scoon was to ease the differences with Britain, their ally, on the Grenada issue. When Underwood was preparing to send troops to Grenada, he encountered the British Prime Minister.

Despite Mrs Thatcher's strong opposition, Scoon's "device" can not only establish a pro-American regime in Grenada, but also eliminate British dissatisfaction. It really kills two birds with one stone.

Sure enough, after Governor Scoon contacted the country, he received instructions to cooperate with the Americans. Therefore, he began to enjoy the benefits of being the "supreme leader" of Grenada with peace of mind, but was not prepared to dedicate any obligation as a leader.

As an old man in his sixties, Scoon knows his "positioning" very well. It was just a decoration before, and it is the same now, and it will not change at all.

No, he just met with representatives of the United Fruit Company yesterday. The two sides had friendly and enthusiastic discussions and agreed to the other party's "request" to invest in Grenada until the representatives of the United Fruit Company left with satisfaction, and Scoon's

In his pocket, there was a property transfer certificate for a villa near the sea in Miami, Florida...

He has done a lot of this kind of thing in the past two days, whether it is private companies or officials of the former regime who are afraid of being held accountable. The Americans cannot rely on them. They can only choose Governor Scoon.

, the “supreme leader” of Grenada at this stage.

In the face of all this, Scoon is willing to accept anyone who comes. He understands that such "good days" will definitely not last long. The Americans need him to stabilize the situation now until the Americans build a new, pro-American democratically elected government.

If it is established, then he will 100% go back to the old days of "eating and waiting to die". Therefore, if you can get some benefits now, then seize the opportunity. If he does this, Americans will definitely feel more at ease.

His personal secretary sent him his schedule for today. Another private company boss wanted to meet with him in the morning. Governor Scoon felt in a good mood. The more things like this, the better. These people are all "people with knowledge".

People who ask for "him", and he agrees to their small request, and he gets the corresponding "reward". Anyway, when there is such an opportunity, it will

Very short, Governor Scoon didn't want to miss the great opportunity to get his "pension" easily. These people were able to find him at this time, it must have been with the consent of the Americans. Governor Scoon was very clear about his position.

, what the Americans have decided will not change at all whether he nods or not, it is better to seize the opportunity and fill his wallet.

Before Scoon could finish his breakfast, his butler came in and whispered in his ear that the guests he needed to meet this morning had already arrived. Although they were the ones who "sent money" to him, Scoon still felt that he was being treated by others.

Breaking breakfast, a little unpleasant

Come on, he muttered: "What a bunch of rude barbarians." At the same time, he picked up a piece of warm milk, took a sip, then picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and then ordered the butler: "Bring the guests to the

Go to the living room, I'll be there soon."

By the time Victor saw Governor Scoon, almost half an hour had passed. Ato was standing behind him, dressed like an assistant, and even put on a pair of glasses to block his eyes.

In the middle, with that fierce gaze, Victor sat in the large living room, flipping through the newspaper brought by the butler in boredom. On it was a full voice-over of Defense Secretary Weinberg Casper from the American Broadcasting Corporation's "Today" column.

Transcript of the interview.

During the interview, host Brett Gumbel asked why the U.S. government decided to send troops to Grenada, and Weinberg explained that the lives of the American people were at risk. His original words were: If you are one of these students

, are being threatened by chaos, terror, or are relatives of these students, then let the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force relieve you of all

It wouldn't be a bad idea to protect American citizens anywhere, given these concerns. I don't think this is "war mongering," especially when we are not only invited, but repeatedly begged, to intervene and take control of that island

When the democratic government is restored there, we will not stay there for one more minute once the government elected by the people begins to exercise power.

Victor doesn't know whether the people of the United States will accept this explanation, but it seems that people in other Latin American countries don't buy it at all. The reputation of Americans has once again become synonymous with "shit" in Latin American countries...

When Governor Scoon arrived, Victor was so bored that he read the newspaper in his hand twice. When Governor Paul Godwin Scoon, who was in his sixties, entered the living room, Victor stood

Get up to show respect for him.

Both parties exchanged cordial greetings. Victor expressed his sympathy for the Governor's experience some time ago, and strongly condemned the persecution of Governor Scoon by the former rebel regime. The two parties went back and forth for a long time, and even changed two pots of coffee before finally

When it came to the topic, Victor stopped going around in circles and started talking to Scoon, an old and cunning hero.

The old Chinese politician was going around in circles, but he was no match. The other party had already mentioned how he was brave and fearless in the face of the Japanese soldiers when he was the treasurer of the colonial government in Burma. If he continued to go around, Victor was afraid of this.

The old guy will continue to recall his "glory years" one by one.

"...Dear Governor Scoon, the beautiful country of Grenada has suffered from war. This is a sad story." Victor finally seized the opportunity and turned to the topic. "War is cruel. No matter what, the greatest harm will be suffered."

They are still ordinary people."

"Yes, war is the most destructive form of violence."

"Therefore, with this heavy heart, I very much hope to contribute my meager strength to Grenada's post-war reconstruction." Victor said with a "heavy" expression on his face.

Scoon seemed unaware of anything. He seemed to say to Victor enthusiastically: "Ah, we warmly welcome all investors to participate in Grenada's post-war economic activities. This can further speed up the healing of the wounds caused by the war."

, so that the people of Grenada can enjoy the happy life brought by a free society more quickly..."

Victor secretly cursed "Old Fox", he really didn't let go of the rabbit before he saw the rabbit, and he interrupted Scoon's nonsense with a "cough".

"Mr. Governor, what you said is so correct. We have this idea, so we asked for your interview. Look, this is our company's plan." Victor waved his hand, and Ato immediately stepped forward and took it from his pocket.

He took out a folder from the briefcase he was carrying and handed it to Scoon, along with a small black briefcase.

Scoon did not look at the folder, but opened the black briefcase first. There were neatly stacked U.S. Treasury bonds with a face value of one hundred dollars. From the looks of it, there were probably about one million in face value. He was

Only then nodded with satisfaction. This kind of bond is issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on behalf of the federal government.

The government issued physical bonds, which are also called bearer bonds. As long as anyone holds these bonds, they can trade and exchange them in banks or exchanges. Since they are in a bearer form, there is no creditor's name to register them.

So it is very difficult to trace it.

At first, Scoon was worried that Victor would directly give him a pile of cash, but it seemed that the other party was still a very smart person. After closing the box, the wrinkles on Scoon's old face were about to fade away. He didn't even think about Victor.

Without asking what he wanted to do, he said directly: "On behalf of the Interim Transitional Government of Grenada, I welcome Mr. Victor to invest. I will inform my political secretary of the specific matters and you can discuss it further."

Victor stood up and reached out to hold Scoon's right hand, which was like a dry branch. Both parties looked at each other and smiled. They both got what they wanted in this transaction, and both parties were happy.
