America’s Big Hero

The yacht approached again, and the French and Spaniards went away silently on the yacht.

When they left, they didn't say anything.

There is a lot of money on the ground, but no one knows how much it is.

It doesn't make sense, Sean is showing his sincerity, and using cash needs the impact brought by that thing.

Throwing out 5 million yuan in a TV series to make the other party leave your daughter or son is not as powerful as pouring cash in front of the other party, and the success rate is increased by 200%.

It's like the top will hold boxes of oceans and fall to the ground before charging.

In fact, without this money, Sean is equally sure of persuading the two to cooperate in a military exercise, as long as he is willing to make a fool of himself.

But this is not good, Sean needs friends, and his business has expanded to Africa, so opening a gap in the French military is the first thing that must be done.

In the future, he will inevitably expand his business to Europe, and he needs allies in Europe.

The Morocco incident was a good breakout, that's all.

Regardless of current or long-term goals, he must do so.

He ordered the captain to go back and collect the money, and then he boarded his flagship and came to the combat command room. Xiao En said with a smile: "There is nothing in this world that can't be fixed with money. If there is, it must be paid by you." Not enough."

Moulay Xidi pouted secretly, he also wanted to spend money, but he promised that the French and Spaniards on the opposite side would never give him this chance.

It's like a foreign enemy on a business trip, just around the corner, waving money but can't find a reliable 'broker'...

This kind of thing happens not only in daily life, but also in daily life, and it is the same in the international arena. Back then, the big dog also waved money for several years.

Sean obviously saw what Moulay Sheedy was thinking, and walked over to him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "The theory is never wrong, you see, these things that Hassan II is looking forward to day and night but can't accomplish , if you don’t turn it into reality bit by bit in your hands, you are destined to become the greatest king in the history of Morocco, bar none!”

Moulay Sheedy looked at Sean thoughtfully.

All countries in the world are working hard to revitalize this kind of thing, but there are only a few that have really succeeded.

"Robert A. Owens, I will leave the rest of the matter to you. Have fun with them and be more intense."

"Okay boss, leave it to me!" Robert A. Owens nodded with a smile.

If it is really a fight, then Sean can still command a few blindly, but when it comes to confrontational military exercises, this thing is too professional.

Practice all kinds of confrontation, various formations, and various bombs... Who knows how to count whether your own missiles successfully hit the target, after all, you can't see the fire and smoke on the opponent's ship.

So, Sean was about to withdraw.

The masters were all gone. Although the Moroccans still wanted to witness the fleet exercise, they followed Xiao En and withdrew.

The Moroccan aristocrats watching all this in the hotel on the shore looked stunned, completely confused about what was going on now, why did they suddenly stop when they were so aggressive that they wanted to fight and kill.

Not to mention them, even Murray Sheedy couldn't figure out what Sean's plans were.

On the surface of the sea, the three confronting parties began to retreat. One day later, when the exercise time came, the umbrella fleet broke into the exercise area again extremely forcefully.

This time, no one came up to stop them, and the French and Western sides cooperated and began to deal with the missile destroyer fleet under the umbrella.

The roar of artillery fire can be heard clearly on the shore, and occasionally missiles can be seen flying into the air.

The air route was completely cut off today, and the two parties jointly suppressed the umbrella fleet. The scope of the three parties' dealings became larger and larger, and it exceeded the range of the exercise sea area announced earlier.

To be honest, Sean couldn't understand what was going on at sea.

The exercise lasted for more than 4 hours, and the three parties reopened the distance. Just when Sean thought it was over and was about to ask how much it cost, Robert A. Owens told Sean that there would be another round night battle.

Sean: "..."

For a whole day, the exercise spread to tens of thousands of square nautical miles around. It was not until the next morning that the three parties announced at the same time that a joint confrontational exercise was over.

As for the specific result, it is unknown to outsiders.

After Robert A. Owens came back, Sean asked. Robert A. Owens' face was not very good.

In his words, the two sides were evenly matched at the beginning, but they had no air force. After the inventory of anti-aircraft missiles became less and less, they began to fall into a disadvantage, and eventually lost everything. Of course, the other side was also uncomfortable. The Spanish light aircraft carrier was sunk even more.

Uh... Well, Sean doesn't know how to comfort Robert A. Owens. Their fleet was designed and built to target small countries. The core concept is low-cost precision strikes, so naturally they won't build any aircraft carriers.

Can't afford it!

It is not expensive to rent or buy an aircraft carrier. What is expensive is the expenses, personnel, and maintenance after it is acquired.

Supporting auxiliary battleship groups and daily maintenance, overhaul, logistics, ports and other supporting facilities for the battleship groups are also needed.

With an aircraft carrier, there must be carrier-based aircraft, and there must be airports, maintenance, and a complete set of aviation logistics on land...

That cost is dozens of times that of the aircraft carrier itself.

Sean doesn't need to say these things, Robert knows everything, it's just that he's in a bad mood after losing the game. Now he needs beautiful women, banquets, and spirits to comfort himself.

The exercise here is over, and all the major countries know the real results.

The United States is very satisfied, very satisfied, although it was only a drill and lost, but this is a civilian force, and the opposite is the Franco-Spanish coalition forces, it is true that it is a glorious defeat!

In the future, when people from the U.S. military drink or quarrel with military personnel from the two countries, they can say condescendingly, don’t make trouble, you non-governmental organizations!

Not too hurtful, but extremely insulting.

This joint exercise triggered a series of follow-up effects. First, the blockade between France and Spain was withdrawn. In the reports of Thompson Alves and Jonson Arnold, unless they are willing to fight against the umbrella, otherwise, the blockade Lines have no meaning.

As for the sudden small-scale attacks on ships along the way, it is well known that the emerging pirates all over the world have more or less connections with Sean.

Xiao En, who has no shame in engaging in such shameful little tricks, is the ancestor, and their national systems are not good.

Once the leak is leaked, the impact will be devastating, and someone must step down and take responsibility.

And Sean doesn't need it, just throw some scapegoats and pay some money.

Personally, I don't have so many scruples.

The second reaction caused by this is that Morocco has become more confident in the country, and the people in the country who were originally very hostile to the umbrella have let go of some grudges, except for those who died at home.

Umbrella is a purely 'commercial' company, without any personal grievances, as long as you give enough money, they will really dare to go to trouble!

With the power of one company to strengthen two major military powers, this kind of thing is really scary and incredible when Moroccans see it on TV.

At least, not to mention the coalition forces of the two countries, even just any one, the Moroccans don't think their own army can beat it.

Well, one is lack of confidence, and the other is yearning!

So when I saw from the news that the fleet of the Umbrella Company was dealing with the combined fleet of the two major powers, most of the previous animosity was reduced.

The media, which still has good things to do afterwards, asked experts to stand up and help calculate that the umbrella expenditure for a day of confrontational exercises would be at least 20 million US dollars.

Just this 20 million expenditure left countless people speechless in shock.

If you are strong, you will be jealous, if you are too strong, you will only admire!

The third reaction caused by this incident is that the French parade has become more "grand".

It really should be described as grand, you have to admit that when it comes to parades and revolutions, the French are really tortured!

What is a professional?.JPG

The specialty is to make the parade more like a holiday!

The French president is very distressed these days. He cannot blame the military. Everyone knows that it is impossible to fight openly with the umbrella company. A compromise and a military exercise are the best solution.

It's like if hundreds of people can't cut each other, then they can only negotiate with each other.

There are still many things that trouble the French president. The law and order in several seaport cities on the southern Mediterranean border, Marseille, and Nice are extremely chaotic.

A large number of police officers have mobilized a large number of police forces because of the huge number of marchers. There is no way. These are the two largest import and export cities with Morocco. Too many people have suffered heavy losses and even lost their jobs because of this incident. There is a lot of time for parades demonstration.

However, a large number of police forces were dragged to the parade, resulting in insufficient police force, and the problem of smuggling suddenly became rampant.

The so-called economic blockade has always blocked formal channels, but who is the happiest at this time?

It's the mafia!

It's a smuggler!

It's an official...cough cough.

Who said that vegetables and fruits cannot be smuggled?

When the official supply is not available, the high-priced private supply will definitely become popular!

Coupled with the fact that the two generals of Fassi deliberately released water, the smuggling business was extremely smooth and booming.

(Hiss, it looks very familiar...)

On the other hand, the security here in Morocco is pretty good. The customs here don't check these things, and everyone acts as if nothing happened.

...

At this time, Sean made a phone call to the White House. Sean did not tell Reagan immediately about the conditions he had negotiated with Murray Sheedy.

Need a right time!

three days later...

A major TV station in the United States reported a news: Morocco's acting king Moulay Sidi bin Yusuf arrived in Washington on a special plane, and President Reagan greeted him on the spot. The two sides conducted in-depth communication and friendly negotiations on the issue of Mediterranean maritime security. It was decided to build a naval military base in Morocco to ensure the safety of the Mediterranean.

Morocco has agreed to lease a piece of land in the southern city of Ceuta to the United States to build a naval base for 100 years!

A concession is a concession, and definitely not a cession of land. This is an essential difference.

The TV broadcasted the picture of Reagan and Moulay Sheedy signing together, and there was a map hanging on the wall, and Ceuta was specially marked in red on the map.

In the program, detailed reports were made on the specific location, size, construction time, level, garrison scale, logistics supply and other aspects of the Ceuta military base.

Once the news was broadcast, it quickly spread all over the world!

In fact, President Reagan called the President of France and the Prime Minister of Spain to communicate before signing the contract. It is not that the United States needs to ask the two countries for instructions on building a military base here in Morocco. This is a matter of attitude, and everyone looks good.

The next day, President Reagan made another televised speech, expressing concern and concern about what happened in Morocco during this period, and publicly called on Fassi and Morocco to negotiate and consult on economic issues, development issues, and security issues.

Finally, with the efforts of President Reagan, the three parties finally reached an agreement and set the venue for the negotiations in Geneva.

...

"Going?" Moulay Sheedy looked at Sean and asked.

"Are you kidding me? I'm just a businessman. How the hell can I attend this kind of negotiation!" Sean said with a look like you're fucking kidding me.

Murray Xidi frowned and thought for a while, "You don't have to come forward for the negotiation, I need your advice. To be honest, I don't have similar negotiation experience."

Speaking of this, he sighed, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, including our diplomatic department, they don't have the confidence to carry out such negotiations. They have no experience. As you know, the previous negotiations were called negotiations, rather than 'resistance'. A little loss."

Sean held his head, what the hell, you can't say that Morocco is mud that can't support the wall, at least people are working hard, but it's really annoying!

During this period of time, he felt like a nanny, forced to be responsible for advising an African country with a population of more than 20 million.

Is it easy for me to make some money!

Sean will definitely not appear at the venue, but there is no problem in traveling to Switzerland in his own name.

Murray Sheedy needs Sean to listen to the negotiator's report every night, and to formulate a bottom line and strategy. In other words, he just feels that with Sean around, he has confidence.

Sean didn't bother to do anything, and the two planes arrived in Geneva at the same time.

"Concessions are certain. The core issues are, first, the market will never be open, but special policies can be formulated on specific commodities, such as wheat. The French will definitely mention this. Tariffs can be reduced or simply exempted. Give the market to the French."

Moulay Sheedy opened his mouth, and it's definitely not a good idea to hand over the food problem to others.

"Don't think about it. It is impossible for you to grow food to support yourself. The land area is not allowed, and the climate is not allowed. There is no need to have unrealistic ideas. If you think so much, it is better to make a good food reserve."

"Of course, the opening of the wheat market is not without cost. The French are required to open their markets to Moroccan agricultural products or reduce tariffs."

"The confiscated mechanical processing industries can be returned to the French, but there must be conditions." Sean thought for a while and said: "First: this round of large-scale construction in Morocco will re-plan the urban layout, and their factories must obey For the relocation arrangement, we will provide a better site and land for the expansion of the factory, and the rebuilt factory will become a joint venture company, part of the shares will belong to the Moroccan government, and part will belong to the Moroccan investment company.”

"By the way!" Sean suddenly remembered an important thing, "Morocco's labor laws need to be re-enacted, and the minimum wage standards for different cities, the maximum working hours and other regulations must be stipulated."

"There are now, but it's hard to follow."

"I know this, but with the law, we can have a reason to take action. This is very important, but one thing must be remembered, don't make it particularly strict." As he said, Sean raised his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" Murray Sheedy looked at Sean in a daze. He felt that he might have misheard. What do you mean not to be particularly strict?

Isn't the stricter the law the better, the less people will take advantage of loopholes?

"Punishment cannot be known, power cannot be measured, and the people are afraid of the superior. Now the law is made to determine it, and the tripod is used to show it. In the law, the old people are not afraid of it." Xiao En dragged out a passage of ancient text, let alone Mulai Xidi, the others were even more confused.

"The laws and regulations are too strict, then the people below will know the cost of making mistakes, so they will become unscrupulous, and the fear will change from those who hold power to the law. This is the most detrimental to those who hold power."

"For example, we can set the working hours as 8 hours, but we don't stipulate that these 8 hours are a whole from 9 to 5, or simply excluding eating, going to the toilet, resting, etc. The pure working time, this is called flexibility! "

"For example, if we say more than eight hours, we have to set off, how to judge light, moderate, severe, but, what is light and what is severe, there is no specific standard for this, it is up to us to judge according to the actual situation , which is called fuzzy boundary.”

"In this way, we can use legal weapons to attack dissidents and support ourselves!"

"Oh!!!" Everyone in the room suddenly realized and felt chills at the same time, damn it, it really is an old capitalist.

Xiao En looked indifferent, what is an ancient civilization!

Next, Sean talked about a few key points to be kept in the negotiations, especially about the phosphate industry. This is what Sean wants, and he must not give an inch.

Of course, nominally it must be an official Moroccan requirement.

The reason is that the previous contract was signed with a strong colonial color, and the needs of the people in the resource area were not considered reasonably, and the exploitation was extremely serious. In this regard, you can refer to OPEC's repeated changes to the contract over the years.

In view of the long-term exploitation of French capital in the past, the Moroccan side will impose penalties. The reason is random, and the result is the confiscation of related industrial assets. The agreement will be renewed in the future, and the Moroccan government will not operate exclusively.

There is a lot of turmoil in the country. The French and Spaniards don't want to waste too long on the negotiations. The progress of the negotiations is very fast, but they are stuck in the phosphate-related industries.

Relevant companies will definitely not do it. France and Spain tried to divide the negotiation into several stages, first implement the previously negotiated things, and advance the progress of the negotiation, but Morocco vetoed it.

Of course, anyone could see that this was designed for Sean alone, and it must be part of the deal between the two parties.

Now that the United States has jumped out to host the negotiations, and the military bases have been established, as the winner, Sean has reason to get a piece of meat.

Sean released the news in private, and if they want to implement it, they will implement it together. If Faxi's phosphate industry company wants to drag everyone into the water, then Sean doesn't care.

Anyway, if I can't give you what I want, then don't try to negotiate this matter!

Those stakeholders had no choice but to find trouble with the Frenchman, Sean, who was an American.
