Reborn American Giants

Chapter 81 Prelude

The situation in Grenada is developing as the Americans hoped. Bishop returned to his supporters the moment he was rescued. This improved his depressed mood due to the coup and the loss of power. His enthusiastic

He gave a speech to the people who supported him,

Then he led them to attack Whitestone Prison. Faced with the impact of a large number of people, the prison guards guarding here dispersed. Bishop successfully placed former Foreign Minister Whiteman, former Housing Minister Bain, and former Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs Bain, who were under house arrest here by Austin.

Education Minister Clift and other cabinet members rescued him.

The gathering of his former comrades made Bishop even more arrogant. Now he has the support of the people across the country and the advice of his comrades. The group of rebels led by Austin and Cold want to bring the entire country into a more turbulent "whirlpool".

This is something he will not allow. He will now lead the people to defeat

Austin's rebel regime brought the country back on the right track. As a mature politician, Bishop's greatest wish is to change the backward and poor face of Grenada and make it a real gem with sufficient international assistance.

That way, it shines brilliantly on the Caribbean Sea.

Faced with his optimistic mood, former Foreign Minister Whiteman seemed a little worried. After Bishop finished his speech to the people, while he was waving to the people around him with a smile on his face, he walked up to Bishop and pulled him.

One of his arms whispered

He whispered in his ear: "Mr. Prime Minister, I think we should pay attention. Austin has firmly controlled the power of the military. Behind him are the Soviets and Cubans. They all support him. We just rashly stood beside him."

In front of others, might it seem a little too impulsive?"

"Whiteman, my old comrade, look around you, these people are supporting us. The policies pursued by Austin are destined to be unpopular, and his "Revolutionary Military Commission" is also destined to be overthrown by the people's wave.

At this time, the regime should not be worried about us, but Austin and Cold.

This group of people, be optimistic, our existence is a kind of strength." Faced with Whiteman's worries, Bishop pointed his right hand at the crowd who cheered loudly because of seeing him. They were so enthusiastic that everyone waved desperately.

Holding his raised hands, he looked like a churning sea, about to set off a storm.

But his comfort obviously could not dispel Whiteman's worries. After thinking for a moment, Whiteman continued to say to Bishop: "I agree with your statement. The rebellious regime of Austin and others will surely be overthrown amidst the roar of the people, but we will inevitably

We must take into account the level of sacrifice of the people in this process, and we must also fully consider the possibility of intervention by the Cubans. You must know that the Cubans currently have a battalion of "engineering troops" building an airport at the southern end of the island."

Bishop was also worried about what Whiteman said about the military strength of the Cubans, "So what good ideas do you have?"

"Can we be an insurance company and ask the Americans for help now, just in case things go wrong and we still have the opportunity to start over? Bishop, think about it, why do you want to sign a "memorandum of understanding" with the US government?

If Grenada falls into the hands of Austin and others, he

If they continue to pursue a more radical "communist line", then Grenada will be more deeply involved in the struggle between the US government and the Soviet and Cuban governments. At that time, the Americans will never tolerate it, and Nicaragua is not far behind.

, our country cannot afford such a war."

Asking the Americans for help? Bishop was thinking about the possibility of this matter. Even though he seemed very optimistic, he now felt a little confused about the road ahead.

There is no doubt that the "Revolutionary Military Council" has the support of the Soviet Union and Cuba. The Soviet Union and Cubans must be dissatisfied and worried about his visit to the United States and his attempts to ease relations with the Western world. Therefore,

When opponents within the New Gem Movement launched a coup, Bishop knew that the Soviets and Cubans were definitely instrumental in fueling the coup.

"Whiteman, I leave the matter of contacting the Americans to you, but you must keep it confidential. After all, the policy we pursued before was leaning towards the gc camp. If we are found to be contacting the Americans, those who originally supported us will

It is very likely that people will stand up against us, and we cannot let this happen."

"Can I ask West to help me?"

"Of course, my dearest Whiteman, let us face Austin and Cold now."

At the same time, in the Revolutionary Military Council, General Austin, former Minister of Defense of Grenada, Commander-in-Chief of the Grenadian Army, and current Chairman of the "Revolutionary Military Council", learned of the news of Bishop's escape. He was furious and immediately issued an order to remove the officer responsible for guarding the Prime Minister's residence.

All those responsible were sent to military courts for trial. Bishop's escape disrupted his efforts to control the country's political power.

At the beginning of the coup, Austin and Cold placed Bishop under house arrest, and then quickly wiped out all the ministerial officials in Bishop's cabinet, and formed a "Revolutionary Military Council" to declare to take over the power. However, the policies implemented by Bishop in the past have made him less popular among the people.

Very high, coupled with the opposition to "physical annihilation" within the "New Gem Movement" party, Austin was hesitant about how to deal with Bishop.

But now he no longer had to make a choice. Bishop had successfully escaped and gathered a group of cabinet members from the previous government. With the support of the people, they occupied Rupat Fortress near the inner harbor of St. George and drove there.

The defenders used the weapons stored in the fortress to recruit troops.

Austin urgently mobilized a battalion of government troops from Glinton Barracks to Rupat Fortress, and then blocked the road between the fortress and the outside world, trapping Bishop and their supporters in the fortress, and then urgently and other committee members

consultation situation, and what measures should be taken in such a situation.

A fierce quarrel broke out in the conference room. The Revolutionary Military Committee now had the same opinion on suppressing the popular movement. They could not let this chaos continue to spread to cities across the country, but they were still concerned about how to deal with Bishop and his followers.

At the meeting, the opinions of the members within the committee were not unified. Some people were in favor of getting rid of Bishop and his followers and completely removing the obstacles for the "Revolutionary Military Committee" to control the country.

Opponents are worried that doing so will cause a large-scale wave of opposition across the country. At the same time, the opposition within the party cannot be ignored. After all, Bishop was once the leader of the "New Gem Movement". If he was dealt with rashly, will there be any consequences?

The unrest within the party and the military has caused unrest. Now they can succeed in the coup by relying on strong control of the military. This is the cornerstone of their rule. If the military is in turmoil, then they don't have to think about anything.

Let's hold hands and jump into the Atlantic Ocean together.

As a soldier, Austin is more inclined to the former opinion, echoing his military style and solving problems directly and simply. But now he is not only a soldier, but as the head of a regime, he also has the latter opinion.

It cannot be ignored that if the opinions within the committee cannot be unified, then it is conceivable that the thinking of the citizens outside and within the army will definitely be even more chaotic.

But if he doesn't seize the opportunity to deal with the problem now, Bishop will not give him time. When he gathers enough people, he will launch an attack on the Revolutionary Military Council. Austin finally made up his mind. He knocked on the table and interrupted those who held different views.

quarrels among the committee members.

"I have decided, Alfred, you go to Rupat Fortress immediately and lead a battalion to attack the fortress. We can't wait any longer. As for Bishop and others," Austin paused here, obviously he was still hesitating, but

Soon, with a heavy wave of his hand, he said, "Deal with them without leaving any further trouble. This is the best way for this country."

The other committee members were silent, even those who initially supported directly resolving Bishop's opinions. Although they kept shouting "eliminate Bishop", when this matter was really said from Austin's mouth, they still felt a little

Uncomfortable.

"Whether you understand this matter or not, let me bear all the sins. If Bishop is allowed time to gather the manpower, then the entire country will be on the verge of civil war. We cannot let

Things like this happen, so let Bishop die for the sake of Grenada."

After saying such a far-fetched reason to comfort himself, Austin ended the meeting and watched Alfred leave the Revolutionary Military Council according to the meeting's decision and go to Rupat Fortress to deal with Bishop and the others. Austin let out a long breath.

, he looked at Cold, the former deputy prime minister of the government and now the member of the Revolutionary Military Commissar, who had not left yet. He was sitting aside and watching him. He smiled bitterly. Austin said to Cold, "I don't know what I am doing when I do this."

Right or wrong."

"Only God can know this..."
