Reborn American Giants

Chapter 52 Killing a chicken with a bull's knife,

At the same moment when Victor said this in Fandino, at the Independence Palace in San Salvador, Jose Napoleon Duarte was irritably in the office, talking to Lieutenant General Mahin, Vice Chairman of the Military Government, and Mendie, Political Secretary.

Tower, and his American adviser, Essien Capone, discussed political affairs together.

What troubles Jose so much is that the "Land Reform Policy-Trial" he promulgated was hit head-on by the United Fruit Company. He had just received a call from US Secretary of State Kerry, in which Kerry made it clear to him

, the interests of U.S. companies must be "guaranteed", otherwise he will persuade the government to reconsider making appropriate "adjustments" to El Salvador's Central American Bank's "aid loan" for the next fiscal year.

This punch hit Jose's "soft underbelly" hard. Now El Salvador is experiencing civil war, economic stagnation, and public security chaos. The government now relies entirely on the support of the U.S. government to maintain basic operations, especially the "front lines."

A large amount of ordnance was provided, and "military advisors" were sent to train the government troops in Samoa. Otherwise, the frontline troops would never be able to stop the attack of the guerrillas under the control of the "Marti Front".

Jose's original intention was to use the support of Americans to take the opportunity to carry out "land reform" in the country, stimulate economic development, and restore the government to its most basic operations. Otherwise, it would be the same as it is now. It would be better to let Sanchez of the "Martí Front"

It would be better if the Salem gang came over.

If you want to carry out reform, you cannot avoid the American company "United Fruit Company", which occupies a large amount of land in El Salvador. If you want to reform, you must remove this "blocker", otherwise the Jose Junta will definitely be defeated.

Various political forces in El Salvador "denounced" him as a traitor, thereby throwing out next year's presidential election.

General Mahin is a representative of the military. He is also very angry that Jose, a "civilian" with American support, has become the head of the military government. El Salvador has been under a military-government coalition since 1931.

Please note that coalition government means that the military is the main force and other parties are supplementary. Other coalition parties can be replaced, but the military is immovable. As long as it is dissatisfied with the ruling party, the military will launch a coup and replace it with another party.

This has never changed when a new party comes to power and forms a coalition.

It was not until the United States adjusted its Latin American strategy that Jose, with the support of Americans, returned to El Salvador from abroad and became the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and soon became the "civilian head of the military government." This was what General Mahin said to his subordinates in private.

Ma Xin despises this group of literati who shout loudly and talk about one theory after another. However, when things happen, there is still no solution. He and his young men should be relied on to govern the country. They are the ones who

The “future” of the country.

Ma Xin will never admit that it is his "jealousy" that is causing trouble. The military has lost control of the country in his hands. As the vice chairman, he is only used by Jose to stabilize "people's hearts." Once he is let

To truly take control of the power, haha, the military will completely withdraw from the political stage of this country. This is absolute.

Ma Xin cannot afford to offend Jose, who has the backing of the Americans, and he is not satisfied with the current situation of the military. We will not elaborate on his inner disappointment and unwillingness, so he is the person who is most willing to see Jose misfortune, so now he

Sitting here silently, watching the "fun".

"Essien, you contacted McCarter, what did he say?" Jose definitely miscalculated. He thought that the Americans needed him, and with the support of the U.S. government, he could "touch" the United Fruit Company. Who knew that things had not happened yet?

As soon as he unfolded it, he was beaten back with a stick.

Essien was also very embarrassed about this matter. He was the "campaign consultant" hired by Jose in the United States. Essien was very rich in campaign experience. He was a specialized "campaign manager" who personally sent political figures one by one to their destinations.

He has occupied various "thrones", such as Illinois Governor Mark DaVinci, Congressman Simon Quinn, etc. These were once his "trophies".

In order to gain more experience in "national elections", he accepted Jose's invitation to serve as his "advisor" to help him conduct next year's general election.

Jose's land policy was also discussed with him. The original intention was to use land to win over the large number of landless farmers in the country. In the final analysis, the election was one person, one vote. Whoever can bring benefits to the most people can "obtain" these

People's support is "consistent" with Victor's idea.

It's just that Essien didn't expect that when running for office in these Latin American countries, he would not only have to consider domestic political forces, but also deal with foreign capital forces, especially this "capital force" from the United States. This was something he had never encountered before when he helped others "campaign"

Yes, this is the tragedy of a "small country".

"McCarter didn't have a good idea. He told me that Kerry was originally responsible for the government's external affairs. Although he was the head of the Office of Latin American Policy Coordination, he could not find an excuse to oppose Kerry's reasons this time.

, United Fruit Company must have sent someone to "lobby" Kerry, so he came forward." Essien said in embarrassment.

"Oh, it is really "politically correct" to ensure the interests of American companies. They don't care about El Salvador's life or death, right..." Political Secretary Mendieta sneered. He closed the notebook in his hand and threw it on the table.

Yes, there is no need to "record" the "nonsense" Essien said just now.

"Mr. Bardo, please pay attention to your emotions." Jose stopped Mendieta's next complaint.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman, I was too excited. I also apologize to you, Mr. Essien." Mendieta was reminded by Jose's shout. Indeed, the matter has happened, and mature people should find a solution immediately.

Rather than complain, he immediately apologized to everyone.

Jose nodded, indicating that he accepted Mendieta's apology. He then turned to Essien and asked: "Can Senator Simon help us?"

Jose, of course, went beyond McCarter's line. He asked Essien to be his consultant because he also took a fancy to his "political resources" within the US government.

Essien shook his head after hearing this. Although Mendieta's words were not pleasant, he was right in one sentence: ensuring the interests of American companies. This is really "politically correct."

Jose's brows furrowed even more. He saw Ma Xin's "Old God" standing aside and decided not to let this guy have too much time. He remembered another thing Kerry said and put a portion on the table.

The document was handed to Ma Xin.

"This is a list given to me by the Secretary of State, Vice Chairman Ma Xin, leave this matter to you." He shook the document in his hand and handed it to Ma Xin, who was "distracted".

Then he continued.

"This group of people has been entrenched in San Salvador for many years and has intricate relationships. I don't believe the San Salvador police because their chief is also on this list, so I believe the military will be able to give everyone a perfect answer. We can trust the military.

?"

When Ma Xin saw the document, he saw that it was the official protest of the U.S. government regarding the "underage scandal" incident involving San Salvador government officials. He couldn't help but feel a headache. Looking at Jose, who was looking at him with bright eyes, he thought that the military was not involved.

He refused on the grounds of "government affairs", but before he could say anything, he gave another "wry smile".

The military does not participate in "government affairs". This is the biggest joke in El Salvador. It seems that this "hot potato" has been taken over by itself.

"José, I need a clear directive from the government to what extent we are going to do this."

Things need to be done, but the blame cannot be shouldered.

Jose was also helpless. These "scumbags" were all members of various families. He couldn't even handle foreign companies, and he had to offend these big families...

"Mendieta, please call the media and reprint the article from the Los Angeles Times. As for this group of people..." Jose pondered for a moment.

"Control them first to prevent them from saying anything they shouldn't say. Notify each family and we will deal with it after we discuss it."

Blanco's fate was decided in this way, and Victor's move this time stirred the nerves of the superpower, the United States.

No one thought that this time the turmoil was caused by a drug dealer in the slums of Fandino, for a small bureaucrat like the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure.

But, who knows...
