Reborn American Giants

The Barranquilla Sanatorium in the eastern suburbs of San Salvador is a high-end nursing home affiliated with the Salvadoran military. It is the best choice for many senior military generals or retired generals to choose short-term vacations for recuperation.

The facilities and services here are complete. Of course, the most important thing is that as long as the official or general is of high enough rank, all the services he enjoys here will be free.

To be honest, Beola hated this place. The education she received told her that it was precisely because there were too many of these so-called "privilege sanatoriums" that the country of El Salvador fell into the current situation step by step.

kind of situation.

In a spacious and bright living room, Beola was sitting quietly on the sofa with a cup of steaming coffee in her hand.

Opposite her, an old man with wrinkles on his face but still looking majestic was sitting in a wheelchair. He was Beola's grandfather, the former deputy minister of defense during the Romero military government and the former national military official.

Dean of the Academy, General Pedro E. Clemento.

There were two middle-aged men in military uniforms standing next to him. One of them was Beola's father, Lieutenant General Benedix Clemento, known as the Big Three of the Salvadoran military and in charge of the government's logistics and equipment department.

, the other is her uncle, Colonel Garcia.

"Alas," General Clemento sighed, breaking the silence in the living room. He patted the wheelchair's deputy hard, "a gangster, a gangster from the slums, you actually want to kill me, Pedro

My dearest little princess is betrothed to such a person."

Beola didn't react at all. She sat on the sofa with her head lowered and said nothing. However, looking at her blushing cheeks, it seemed that she had no intention of rejecting her father's proposal.

"Ahem," after a violent cough, Clemento turned sideways and said to Benedix, who was gently patting his back: "Well... well, what is the name of that young man?"

"José Victor Acero," Benedix bent down and whispered in his father's ear.

"Oh yes, Jose Victor," Admiral Clemento continued to cough twice, "I remember you mentioned such a person to me some time ago, right?"

"Yes, Father, I told you about him a week ago."

"What did you say at that time?" Admiral Clemento continued to ask.

"At that time, I received a report from the Military Intelligence Bureau, because it involved the Fourth Armored Regiment currently stationed in the capital, so I asked about it," Benedix said: "The intelligence said that the Fourth Armored Regiment was stationed in the capital.

Colonel Antino Devoy of the 4th Armored Regiment, Guarantee

Colonel Duymananciare and others colluded with Congressman Jose Victor and were engaged in some smuggling and profit-making activities. Because the Intelligence Bureau involved the capital garrison, they did not dare to move lightly, so they applied to the Ministry of National Defense, hoping that

The higher-ups stepped in to handle the matter.

I was thinking that the Devoy family and our Clemento family have always been old friends, and old Devoy and your father are also old comrades-in-arms. Before he left, he asked you to take care of his son, so

I thought about it for a while and suppressed the matter."

"Well," General Clemento raised his eyebrows and said: "You, how can you suppress the application of the Military Intelligence Agency at the request of you? Old Devoy was indeed my comrade in arms when he was dying.

At that time, he held my hand and asked me to look after his son more, and I agreed.

.But this cannot be a reason for anyone to shield him for personal gain? You must pay more attention to things like this in the future. I don’t know when I will be like the old man from the Devoy family, and his eyes will change.

If you just shut up and go see God, how long can I protect you?"

"Yes, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future," Benedix replied hurriedly.

"But then again, I still believe in the character of Antino, a brat that I watched growing up." Admiral Clemento changed his tone and continued: "Now the military and

The Independence Palace was in turmoil. On the one hand, Jose needed the army to resist the rebel attack, but he was also afraid of the military government's comeback, so he was dragging his feet on the use of funds for the army. The issue of military expenditures has never been resolved.

, he hoped to contain the army in this way.

I had a phone call with Lieutenant General Ma Xin yesterday and mentioned this. He told me that due to insufficient military expenditures, all the troops are having a hard time. He believes that the troops in various places should make full use of the resources they have.

Various resources, temporarily find a way to solve the problem of financial difficulties by myself..."

"Father, I very much agree with Lieutenant General Ma Xin's view," Benedix interjected before old Clemento finished speaking: "The reason why I chose to suppress this application from the Intelligence Bureau is also

For this reason, the Intelligence Bureau has been submitting reports continuously during this period, and I found a very interesting piece of information in it. I thought it was very noteworthy, so I ordered the Intelligence Bureau to continue to conduct an in-depth investigation."

"Oh, tell me."

"It's like this. The Intelligence Bureau submitted a detailed investigation report to me yesterday. According to the latest report, the Fourth Armored Regiment reissued three-month arrears to its 2,000 officers and soldiers a week ago.

salary, and this month’s salary has also been paid. Among this funds

, more than 600,000 US dollars were provided free of charge by the companies under Victor's name, and the Fandino Construction Company under his name also proposed to donate and build a group of resettlement houses near the military camp of the 4th Armored Regiment to provide them with

The families of the officers and soldiers of the armored regiment live here, so that the officers and soldiers can get together with their families during their holidays."

Benedix glanced at Beola, who was bowing his head silently, and continued to carefully say to General Clemento: "So far, there are 14 infantry brigades and 2 guard regiments (including

Two military police battalions), among the 32 border defense regiments, only the Fourth Armored Regiment has solved the salary problem of its officers and soldiers, and provided such housing benefits..."

"Oh... this young man is very capable, but he took so much money for no reason. Did the Fourth Armored Regiment provide him with any special benefits?" General Clemento's expression

Looking slightly embarrassed, he asked in a stern tone.

"Of course there are some irregularities, but as far as I know they are not very serious... The report submitted by the Military Intelligence Bureau also shows this. The cooperation between the 4th Armored Regiment and Victor has some illegal aspects, such as smuggling some

Banned tobacco, paying for the Fourth Armored Regiment to dispatch military vehicles to transport goods for companies under his name, etc. Other than that, their hands and feet are quite clean." Garcia, who had been listening for a long time, interjected.

.

Now that they have decided to win over Victor, what they are going to worry about next is what to do.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the decline of the military's power at a glance, and anyone with a little bit of political acumen knows that maintaining a safe distance from the military is the right approach.

And now they want to train Victor to be a "spokesperson" for the military within the government, and everyone agrees with this proposal.
