Reborn American Giants

After the war, Grenada was in a state of depression. The houses destroyed by the war outside St. George's City had not yet been cleared. The provisional government was busy dealing with the remaining members of the "Revolutionary Military Commission". During the Austin era, a large number of people in the country chose to support this tough-minded leader.

The military leaders have now been liquidated after their failure, and the situation has changed. Of course, the people in the interim government are very happy to accept the property of these losers.

Along the way, you can see American soldiers guarding the island at various major intersections. The large US military forces have withdrawn, but a battalion of Marines is still left on the island to maintain post-war security and prepare for the establishment of a formal democratically elected government.

After its establishment, the defense was handed over to the Grenada Defense Force trained by American consultants. The commander of this force was Colonel Jason Grant. It was divided into three parts and were stationed at Carl Wenig, Grenville Barracks and Pearl Airport, but the headquarters was located in

In the capital city of St. George.

The conversation on the phone was very vague. Sitting in the car, Zelda quickly introduced the details of the matter to Victor.

Now the people in the interim government are taking advantage of the fact that the general election is still being prepared and they still have power in their hands to gain benefits for themselves. They clearly know that when the general election is over and the democratically elected government comes to power, they will definitely

We have lost the rights we currently have, so of course we welcome Green Bay Energy, a company that brings money to our door, and we don’t mind signing an agreement now.

However, when the agreement was drawn up and Governor Scoon needed to sign it, the old guy didn't know if he smelled something, or he wanted to make a big deal at once, so he actually resorted to the avoidance and delaying strategy.

Victor chuckled, everything stemmed from greed for profit.

Greed is right, greed is useful, greed can sort out everything, it is where all forms are. The old man Scoon's request is not excessive, but he chose the wrong time. Otherwise, Victor would not mind satisfying it.

His little request is no trouble if it can be solved with money.

There were not many vehicles on the road, and Edward drove the car very steadily. He soon arrived in front of the Governor's Mansion in Nostin Heights. A group of American soldiers could be seen pulling up roadblocks, and there were six or seven cement blocks on the road to slow them down.

At the pile, two lav-25 wheeled armored vehicles aimed their 25mm cannons at the road, ready to tear into pieces any vehicle or enemy that dared to attack the sentry post.

Edward drove the car around the speed bumps and stopped in front of the roadblock. A heavily armed corporal raised his fist to signal the stop and told other soldiers to be alert. He leaned up alone and looked inside the car. Edward

With his hands on the steering wheel, Ato, the passenger seat, also remained motionless.

He handed the pass he had prepared long ago to the corporal. He opened it and compared it carefully. Then he walked to the front of the car without saying a word. At the same time, he raised his fist and made two circles in the air to indicate that he was off guard.

Others moved the barricades.

Victor sat in the back seat and watched all this. It seemed that the Americans valued Scoon very much and put a lot of thought into his safety. But from the looks of it, the Governor-General was the same as the "Revolutionary Military Committee" who had been arrested by Austin before.

What is the difference between house arrest and house arrest?

The British Governor-General is actually nothing more than an honor and a symbol in a de facto independent country like Grenada.

Although most of the member states of the Commonwealth are colonies or territories of the former British Empire, other non-former British colonial countries have joined, as well as some countries that have applied to join. The Commonwealth is no longer a country, but like the European Union and the United Nations.

A cooperative organization. Treating the Queen as the supreme leader was only a rule set when it was first established. It has little political significance now.

The reason why Scoon is now in charge of the provisional government is because the US military eliminated the original regime, the Revolutionary Military Council, and the original government fell into a state of shutdown. In order to maintain post-war stability, the Americans replaced the British governor who originally existed as a mascot.

Hold it on stage.

When the election is over and the new government supported by the U.S. government comes to power, the interim government that originally existed to stabilize people's hearts will complete its historical mission and step down again.

In the reception room of the Governor's Mansion, Victor met the old man Scoon again. This Mr. Governor looked good and rosy. He did not have the malaise that a "patient" should have at all. It seemed that his life was going well recently.

Yes, Victor curled his lips and immediately put on a look of concern on his face, "Your Majesty the Governor, how is your health? I am really worried when I heard that you are not feeling well."

Facing Victor's "hello", Scoon's face didn't change much, and he didn't seem to mind the ridicule in Victor's words at all, "Hey, people's bodies are not good as they get older. Mr. Jose, I have asked you to worry about it."

Only Governor Scoon can tell such lies with his eyes open. He obviously knows that he has been in power for a long time, and the advisers left by the United States are busy preparing for the general election of the Grenada Democratic Alliance.

.So now he has sacrificed his face and is ready to take advantage of the last opportunity to make another fortune.

Scoon was very interested in Victor, a man who threw money into the sea, so he paid close attention to Green Bay Energy's resource exploration activities in Grenada. When the first well logged in Golden Bay produced oil, he got

information.

As a pure Englishman, Scoon's political sensitivity is not as slow as his age. On the contrary, he understands the importance of discovering an oil field in Grenada. The distance between the United States and Grenada is only 2,500 kilometers.

The speed of an oil tanker is generally 20-28 knots, which is 36-52 kilometers/hour, which is only about 2-4 days.

Since he is important, he will be able to gain benefits. Now he is the focus of attention from all parties. No matter who wants to obtain ownership of the oil fields, they cannot avoid him, the current head of the interim government.

Victor also knew this very well, so he didn't mind the old guy Scoon telling lies. He stretched his body, leaned on the sofa in a more comfortable position, and then said to Scoon:

"Your Majesty the Governor, let us put aside these insignificant greetings. I think you must understand the purpose of my visit, right?"

Scoon blinked, "Want to hear the details."

"Haha, Your Majesty the Governor, you must have heard the news about the exploration of Golden Bay, and now you are ready to wait for the requests from the energy companies that are flocking to us."

Governor Scoon did not speak, but nodded confidently.

"That's right. Such a large oil and gas field represents huge benefits. No matter who wants to obtain it, they must obtain the consent of the Grenada government." Victor sighed, his tone sounded a little regretful, "But, I think

, compared to the interim government that you are responsible for, Governor Scoon, are those energy companies more inclined to negotiate with the formal democratically elected government? This is really a big question!

But fortunately, I don’t have to worry about this, because after all, I have the priority to exploit resources, and those energy companies will always offer me a suitable price.”

"Your Majesty the Governor, do you think I am right?"

When Victor finished speaking, he saw that the smile on Scoon's face slowly faded away. Victor's words were right. Compared to the interim government, which has only a short period of time, those energy companies are certainly more willing to choose to discuss specific details with the formal democratically elected government.

The reason is that these giant companies are more concerned about the stability and policy consistency of the country where the resources are located. They do not want to have any setbacks after signing an agreement with the interim government until the formal democratically elected government comes to power.

Of course, Victor will also face this situation, but instead of competing with those giant companies with no chance of winning and being kicked out, he would rather choose to sign a contract directly with the provisional government.

"The government 30 percent, and you will get 0.5 percent, allowing for inheritance, that's my offer."

Scoon remained silent. He understood Victor's meaning very well and was willing to reserve 0.5% share for him in the established energy company.

However, this was obviously different from the price in his mind. His original plan was to get at least 1%-2%.

"I took a big risk by signing this agreement. Grenada only received 30% of the shares. Isn't it too small? People will think that I betrayed the country's interests."

Victor looked at Scoon with a half-smile as he said these words coyly. Selling out the interests of the country was really a big joke. The position of Governor of Grenada was originally a position for retirement. Scoon held this position. Originally,

There is no chance to encroach on any rights.

Moreover, Scoon is an Englishman. He is really broad-minded when he talks about betraying Grenada’s national interests.

"Your Majesty the Governor, I wonder what you think about being called Sir Scoon?" Victor fired the final blow.

Sure enough, when Scoon heard what Victor said, he was a little confused at first, and then he reacted, his face lit up with joy, and his eyes were full of desire, "You, you have a way?"

"If you don't believe me, there is a phone number here. You can confirm the identity of the person on the other side yourself. I think you should be able to believe what he says." Victor took out a business card with the Rose Crown logo and handed it to Si

Governor Kuhn then looked at the other party and took it hesitantly, then went to the side to make a phone call to confirm what he said, looking very relaxed.

Sure enough, Governor Scoon could be seen whispering a few words to the other person. After hanging up the phone, he came back in high spirits and said to Victor: "Mr. Jose, I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

"Of course, my dear sir..."

"Hahaha……"

The laughter seemed to shake the Grenada flag stretched out on the wall behind him, and the green nutmeg on it was obviously bright...
