Chapter 101 Energy Controversy
Old Havana is the area where Havana, the capital of Cuba, was built and developed during the Spanish colonial rule.

Although Old Havana is a seaside city, the environment here is not as beautiful as imagined because the buildings here are too old.

Leo Vantaa, who was wearing a porter's clothes, was holding a plane ticket from Cuba to Panama in his hand.

You must know that this air ticket can only be bought by a porter in Old Havana without food or drink for four months, but this brand new air ticket is just so casually held in his hand.

On the west side of Old Havana is a state-owned gas station. This gas station is so big that Rio Vanta walked around for nearly half an hour before finding a dog hole that was just big enough for a person to go through.

When he saw this dog hole, Leo Vantaa didn't go in immediately, but pulled out an American police pistol from his heavy overalls.

After Leo Vantaa looked around the surrounding environment first, Leo Vantaa lay on the ground with his head up and went into the dog hole.

When his head went through, he immediately raised his pistol with both hands and looked around the environment inside the gas station: "Who would have thought that I, the CEO of Ameri China Global Management Company, would be in Cuba?" It's a dog hole in this crappy place!"

Rio Vanta, who was standing inside the gas station, glanced at the tanker truck that was loading oil not far away and walked towards the Cuban pine tree not far away.

The branches and leaves of the Cuban pine tree are not very dense, but this kind of tree is often planted in large and small corners of Cuba because it is not easy to burn. Standing under the tree, Leo Vanta glanced at the red cloth hanging on it and said I found a mound and hid behind it.

After a while, a man who was not very well dressed, but was exceptionally clean and tidy walked over.

The anxious man held a package in his hand and kept looking behind him. Leo Vanta, who was hiding behind the mound, was not in a hurry to come out, but continued to squat behind and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

"Leo! Leo!"

The anxious man saw that he didn't respond to his shout, but some urgently lay down near the dog hole and looked outside. When he called Leo Vanta's name again, no one answered him. This The man was very angry and kicked hard towards the vicinity of the dog hole.

"I knew these damn Americans couldn't be trusted!" After saying that, the man wanted to turn his head and leave, but Leo Vantaa whistled at the man.

The man's face staged a gorgeous facial make-up show in just 1 minute.

"Thank God, I thought you hadn't come!" The man said as he pushed the package he was holding tightly into Leo Vanta's arms, as if there was something in the package that made people very angry. Something like fear.

After taking the package, Rio Vantaa did not open it in a hurry, but put the package on the ground with a cautious face and asked cautiously: "Are all the oil transfer orders here?"

Seeing Leo Vanta's eyes, the man kept looking around and directly comforted him: "Don't worry, no one will follow me! In order to print these shipping orders for you, I specially picked them to eat at this point." Operate!"

Leo Vantaa just nodded when he heard this, but his vigilant eyes still told the man that he was not at ease with what he said.

"Here's $1 for your reward!"

The man saw that there was still a plane ticket in Leo Vantaa's pocket and didn't say a word but stared straight at his pocket. Leo Vantaa looked down and smiled slowly: "Want to immigrate?"

"Well! My wife and children have been smuggled into Miami, but you have canceled the [Cuba Situation Law], and they are still living on the streets of Miami!!" The man heard what Leo Vanta said. He replied with an excited face.

If before 1980, the Americans had promulgated a special decree in order to deal with the encirclement and suppression of Cuba in many ways.

The [Cuba Situation Act] stipulates that if a Cuban can smuggle into the United States, as long as they live in the United States for one year, they can apply for political asylum and become an American.

At that time, this bill really caused Cuba a dull loss. A large number of businessmen, landlords, and petty bourgeoisie fled. Miami also built a "Little Havana City" from 1960 to 1965.

But Cuba is not a disadvantaged temperament. Cuba sent all criminals, mental patients and refugees to the United States in 1980!
It was this trick that made Miami, which is only across the sea from Cuba, instantly become the city with the highest crime rate in the United States. The United States was forced to cancel this act in 1983 and deport the subsequent immigrants who smuggled to the United States in Cuba. Guantanamo prison.

Rio Vantaa, as a senior agent of the FBI and CIA, of course knows this!
But it's not his character to let an informant get such a big reward for no reason. Leo Vanta rolled his eyes and thought of a plan: "Actually, my purpose of investigating this gas station is very simple. That's because Cuba can keep the Cuban army running despite the economic and maritime blockade, I'm actually wondering where their oil comes from!"

Rio Vanta shook the package in his hand and continued to explain: "Your package will give me the answer soon, but I think before that, can you let this gas station [boom] ] exploded with a bang?"

The man took a step back after hearing this and didn't immediately agree.

As an officer of the Cuban state-owned oil depot, Diouf actually has the most basic sense of shame. If he is asked to abandon some information about the country, he can accept it. If the gas station is blown up, then it will It's not his real idea anymore!

Rio Vantaa seemed to see Diouf's hesitation, and he was not in a hurry. He just waved the ticket in his hand in front of Diouf's eyes: "This ticket to Panama is Not a good buy!"

"I believe you also know that there is only one flight to Panama every month. If you miss this flight tonight, your wife and children may continue to wander on the streets of Miami this month."

When Diouf saw that Leo Vantaa was about to turn around and leave, Diouf immediately grabbed him and said eagerly: "Don't go! I dare to do it! But."

Leo Vantaa didn't hesitate at all, and directly handed over the ticket in his hand: "Take it! I've already prepared your passport. The plane at 11 o'clock tonight, we'll see you at the airport."
-
Cuba's international airport has a history of nearly 40 years. Because of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Cuba's international airport is allowed to operate only airlines from Warsaw member states.

Leo Vantaa stood in the VIP waiting room of LOT Polish Airlines, leisurely looking at one transfer order after another in his hand.

Leo Vantaa's name may not be very famous in the United States, and the company he manages, Ameri China Global Management Company, is not one of the top [-] companies in the world!
However, he is the most admired financial warfare expert by the current top leaders of the United States. His job content is very simple, which is to use everything available to destroy the Soviet Union's economic environment.

The work content looks difficult!
However, in four years, Leo Vantaa not only allowed Ameri China Global Management Company to gain a firm foothold in the Soviet Union, but also successfully opened a trade route that can go directly to the United States through East Germany!
It is because of this route that Ameri China Global Management Company has not only become the favorite trading company of Americans, but also made Leo Vanta the most popular Western European in the Soviet Union!
That's right, the name he used in the Soviet Union was his real name, and only in this way can it be true enough not to make people suspect that he is a high-level spy.

The reason why Leo Vantaa is popular is because Ameri China Global Management Company can rely on the Soviet Union to sell Soviet goods to earn dollars. On the other hand, it is because Leo Vantaa has channels to help Those Soviet officials transferred assets to the United States!

It's just that in the past few months, Leo Vantaa's life has not been very easy, and his most profitable business has been skipped!
The reason why Rio Vantaa was able to achieve rapid results in the Soviet Union was because he got an oil field with a daily output of 1200 barrels near the largest Tyumen oil field in the Soviet Union.

Although it is not big, the 1200 barrels of oil were spent by him.

He first sent the 1200 barrels of oil to Denmark through East Germany, and then sold them to Cuba through the Danish outlet, and then remitted Cuban money to the United States to exchange for U.S. dollars or some items that were in short supply in the Soviet Union.

But starting from October 84, Cuba actually refused to accept his oil!

The first time Rio Vanta learned about this incident, he thought that someone in the United States must have given Cuba oil behind his back, because during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Cuba was the younger brother of the Soviet Union, and the United States could not allow ships. You can get close to Cuba!
Sure enough, after many inquiries from Rio Vantaa, he found out that the oil in the Cuban state-owned oil depot turned out to be refined oil!
This kind of oil can only be processed by American refineries. After investigating the same, Leo Vantaa successfully found a middle-level officer who worked for him in the Cuban state-owned oil depot by virtue of his contacts in Cuba.

Not to mention this middle-level officer, he is really good at work.

Leo Vantaa just flipped through the entry and exit list of the Cuban state-owned oil depot in the VIP conference room openly. Except for some oil extracted from Cuba's own oil fields, there was basically nothing else to be seen on the list.

"Sigh~"

"Shouldn't be!"

Leo Vanta glanced at the quartz watch on his wrist and muttered, "Why hasn't it exploded?"

As soon as Rio Vanta finished speaking, he felt a slight dizziness.

Feeling dizzy, Rio Vantaa immediately walked out of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the VIP room. Not far away, half of the sky in the direction of the Cuban state-owned oil depot was illuminated red.

"Hey! You are really obedient!"

Leo Vantaa, with his hands in his pockets, turned his head and saw the LOT Polish Airlines notice posted on the wall. The notice was just an hour ago.

[Dear passengers, due to some reasons, Havana Jose Marti International Airport and Copa Airlines have canceled their cooperation, please let us know]

Leo Vanta, who saw the notice, took it off nonchalantly, crumpled him up and threw him into the trash can.

There was a landline telephone hanging directly above the trash can, and Leo Vantaa picked up the phone and made a call to Cuba’s anti-terrorism expertly: “Hey, the explosion at the Cuban oil depot was done by Pahez Diouf, and he is now heading towards Escape from Havana Jose Marti International Airport!"

After that, Leo Vantaa hung up the phone neatly.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Leo Vantaa was not in a hurry to leave, but continued to sit back in his seat and looked at the transfer order, and the time passed by like this.

Finally, Leo Vantaa found a trace of abnormality in the transfer order!
"Denver! Denver! Does Denver have oil!" Leo Vanta pointed to the "DF" on one of the transfer orders and fell into deep thought unconsciously.
-
Pahez Diouf hurriedly walked on the street in front of the Cuban oil depot. Because it was night, there were not many vehicles here. In order to prevent people from discovering his abnormality, Pahez Diouf kept only Packed a plane ticket and $1.

Because of the oil depot explosion, the nearby residents and pedestrians on the street were in a mess, but the fire truck not far away arrived in time.

The fire truck that passed by Pahz Diouf made Pahz Diouf feel better, but when Pahz Diouf was about to reach out to stop a taxi, the police had already started not far away. Order is maintained.

"Go to the international airport!"

The taxi passed the first line of defense set up by the police very smoothly, and Pahez Diouf's heart immediately relaxed. Pahez Diouf was not a fool, of course he would not Go help that American fry the oil depot!
He specifically called the airline this afternoon to confirm the authenticity of the ticket.

When the airline told him that the name and the destination were correct, Pahez Diouf paid for the candles to be baked on the oil plug, so that no one would find out.

Just when Pahez Diouf thought he was getting closer to his destination, a group of Cuban Revolutionary Army suddenly appeared near the international airport and set up checkpoints, and every vehicle needed to be checked.

Pahez Diouf was frantically doing all kinds of psychological construction in his heart.

Sometimes it was like this. When the National Revolutionary Army searched his car, one of the people in charge of the search obviously hesitated when he saw him.

Just when Pahez Diouf started beating drums frantically, three revolutionary soldiers with guns caught him!

"I didn't blow up the oil depot, I didn't blow up the oil depot! I was wronged!"
