Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Even the director of the CIA said that Morgan was old and confused, and it seemed that he really needed to have a good talk with him. The United States is not only the United States of the plutocrats, but also the United States of all American people. For the sake of personal and family interests, old Morgan dared to pursue the ideas of Argentine and German scientists and engineers. That was an act seeking death.

But even if he was dissatisfied with the Morgan family, Reagan could only endure it. The term of a president is limited, but a family can be passed down for thousands of years. If old Morgan is offended now, future generations may have to repay the debt.

Reagan: "It's useless to say anything now. After all, it has happened. Let's consider how to deal with the aftermath. The Soviets have posed a difficult problem for us. If we condemn their actions in the international community, it is tantamount to telling the people that it was the Soviets who were responsible for the shooting. American citizens. If you don’t point the finger at the Soviet Union, who can be the scapegoat?”

"If it were my personal matter, I would definitely go to Chernenko for a duel. But after all, it involves a game between two big countries, so we can't act on impulse."

William Joseph Casey is really worried that President Reagan will find trouble with the Soviets, and they must be on guard now. If you fight back at this time, even if you win, you will definitely suffer heavy losses. But I don't want to fight back and I'm not willing to do it. Thinking about it gives me a headache. However, Reagan knew how to find someone. Chernenko had trouble standing up, so he still had the strength to fight with others.

As the director of the CIA, he must give his own opinions, otherwise the president must have opinions.

William Joseph Casey: "This time we did not abide by the agreement. No matter how the Soviets retaliate, we have to endure it. Just like the last Cuban missile crisis, the Soviet Union had to withdraw in the end. That was them It is wrong, so my suggestion must be treated coldly."

"Although as the director of the CIA, it is a bit weak and irresponsible to say this. But there is no better way at present. Everything must be based on the interests of the United States. In the face of national interests, personal gains and losses are nothing at all."

Hearing this, Reagan seemed to fall into memories; in 1962, the Soviet government approved Khrushchev's plan, and Khrushchev participated in talks with Raul Castro on July 3 and 8. Make a secret agreement.

The Soviet Union decided to deploy medium-range missiles in Cuba and provide IL-28 jet bombers, which was implemented in July. The Soviet Union switched goods destined for Cuba to be transported by Soviet ships, dismantling dozens of missiles and dozens of aircraft into containers and shipping them to Cuba. At the same time, 3,500 military technicians also arrived by boat. Each missile carried a nuclear warhead 20 or 30 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The first batch of camouflaged weapons arrived in Cuba on merchant ships in late July.

It was not until September 2, 1962 that the Soviet Union publicly announced that according to the agreement reached between the Soviet Union and Cuba, the Soviet Union would supply weapons and technical experts to Cuba. At this time, the transportation plan for Soviet weapons and experts has been basically completed, and the deployment work is nearing completion.

Kennedy felt that Soviet missiles posed a serious threat and that failure to respond violently would tarnish his administration's image at home and abroad, stoke public distrust of him, and embarrass the United States. Kennedy decided to make the Soviet Union understand that the United States was determined to fight at all costs.

At 7 pm on October 22, 1962, Kennedy delivered a radio speech to the United States and the world, announcing the fact that the Soviet Union had deployed nuclear missiles in Cuba, announcing an armed blockade of Cuba, and demanding that the Soviet Union withdraw the nuclear missiles already deployed in Cuba under the supervision of the United Nations. Offensive weapons.

At the same time, it was announced that all missiles launched from Cuba would be counted as being launched from the Soviet Union to attack the United States. The United States will definitely fight back, and it will fight back with all its strength. In the end, the Soviets, who felt they had been wronged, could only withdraw their military experts, aircraft and missiles.

No one died that time, and it ended in American victory. Now more than 90 American citizens have died, and they are being treated coldly, making it difficult to explain to the public.

Reagan: "How to deal with it coldly."

I am still very excited about Director Casey's plan. Besides, he is definitely a professional when it comes to dealing with shady matters.

William Joseph Casey thought for a moment and said: "The dead people are all employees of the National Steel Company and other staff members of the Morgan family; it can be said that they are all related to the old Morgan."

"Old Morgan may have more headaches than us at this moment. After all, the Morgan family has suffered a great loss and has gained nothing."

"Since they are all taking orders from the Morgan family, then that is how many people will die according to old Morgan. As for the family members, it is very simple, they are all dead. There is no way to survive, and maximizing interests is more practical."

"Let old Morgan compensate according to the highest standard, and also add a hush money; the family of the deceased will not say anything more, and no one will be able to live with the money."

"Let's just say that there was a gang fight in Argentina, and eight employees of the U.S. National Steel Company were unfortunately killed. Even if there were some people who were unconvinced and wanted to cause trouble, there should not be more than eight. Even if it was more, it can be said that they were seriously injured and died in the end."

The meaning is obvious, let old Morgan spend money to buy peace. Although it makes sense, Reagan really didn't want to do this, and it went against his original intention.

But if we don’t handle it this way now, is there a better way? It is better for the Morgan family to pay than for the government to pay. With such a large expenditure, I really don’t know how to balance the accounts.

Reagan suddenly said: "Then I'll leave this matter to you and talk to old Morgan personally. If he is a smart man, he will definitely do what the CIA wants."

What does it mean to act according to the CIA's wishes? Reagan did not want to take any responsibility. There is no airtight wall in the world. If the news leaks, I want to make myself take the blame.

He does this job no matter who asks him to do it, and taking care of the leaders' worries is also part of his job.

At this time, old Morgan was also thinking about how to respond. This time, more than 90 people died. If it was a hundred years ago, it would be easy to deal with it by spending some money. But now that the media industry is so developed, if it is reported that the Morgan family is taking lives lightly, no matter how powerful it is, they may not be able to withstand it.

Nearly a hundred lives, the American people will not agree. The White House will definitely intervene, and the Morgan family will definitely have to pay a huge price. Moreover, we had a very unpleasant quarrel with Reagan last time. Whether the other party will take advantage of the situation this time is something that needs to be considered.

Old Morgan was able to get the news because there were family intelligence officers among the Argentine hotel staff. Even if Argentina has kept the information strictly confidential, there are inevitable oversights and loopholes. And since they are all professionals, it is still very simple to pass on information.

Coming out of the White House, William Joseph Casey, although reluctant, dialed the encrypted phone number for contacting the Morgan family.

He didn't want to take full responsibility, and he didn't know what to say or how to control his emotions when he saw old Morgan. With an angry expression, I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts.

The Morgan family's ability to thrive in the United States and control the world's financial order for hundreds of years is definitely not as simple as it appears. I don’t know how many interest groups surround the Morgan family. There must be senior officials within the CIA who take orders from the Morgan family. If he had a falling out with old Morgan, his subordinates might shoot him in the dark that night.

Director Casey didn't dare take any chances, and there was no need.

When I heard the call came from the director of the CIA, I immediately understood what it meant. It seems that Reagan is afraid to come forward, which is also a good thing for the Morgan family.

Old Morgan smiled and said: "It turns out to be Director Casey. I don't know where I can help you."

The old guy can still laugh, he really has the demeanor of a general. William Joseph Casey knew that the Morgan family must have gotten the news. It is not easy to keep things completely secret in Argentina.

William Joseph Casey: "How dare you bother Mr. Morgan? You should already know about Argentina."

"This time we are in the wrong. As for the escaped German scientists and engineers, no one from the United States or the Soviet Union can participate in the arrest. The Morgan family has touched the bottom line of the Soviets, and it is expected that they will be retaliated against."

"The CIA will do a good job of confidentiality and put pressure on Argentina. However, the families of the victims need to settle the matter with the Morgan family, which is nothing more than spending more money. I think this is nothing simpler for the Morgan family. ."

"The same caliber broke out between Argentine gangs. In this conflict, eight employees of the U.S. National Steel Company who were inspecting in Argentina were unfortunately killed."

"That's the end of the matter. I hope Mr. Morgan won't think about revenge in the short term. The Soviets must have been prepared, maybe waiting for us to take the bait."

After hearing what the CIA director said, Old Morgan finally felt relieved. As long as money can solve the problem, it is not a problem.

Although I feel unwilling to do so, I can only express my gratitude. At the same time, Morgan Sr. knew that Reagan didn't use the topic as an excuse because he didn't dare to. But I will definitely remember this incident, at least it will be difficult to open my heart.
