Starting as an arms dealer, I am the overlord in South America

Soon the results were investigated.

“Mr. President, we have investigated clearly that the transaction volume of high-end chips exported by Colombia to my country is not very high, with annual sales of less than 1 billion US dollars, and the use is mainly for scientific research units and technology companies, and the daily impact is not great.”

“That’s good.”

Hearing that the impact was not significant, Danqui was relieved.

He could completely ignore Columbia’s sanctions.

“However.”

Just when Dan Quayle was relieved, the Secretary of Commerce changed the subject.

Dan Quayle’s heart skipped a beat.

“But what?”

“However, if Columbia further cuts off the supply of mid-range and even mid-range chips, it will have a great impact on the computer and electronics industries.

Major technology companies have close business dealings with Columbia Xinghai Electronics.

If the supply is cut off, it will cause significant losses to our technology companies, making their products less competitive in the market, and the market may be occupied by island countries and South Korea.”

At this moment, Xinghai is the leader in the computer industry.

Thanks to Xinghai’s thousands of computer experts and the lithography machines exchanged by the system, Xinghai has been able to launch graphics cards, memory sticks, mechanical hard drives, and CPU electronic products that far exceed the performance of this era.

If it weren’t for commercial trade, Xinghai could dominate the computer industry.

The so-called Dell and Apple are scum in front of Xinghai.

But for global considerations, Xinghai’s foundry companies will undertake foundry production of chips for major technology companies.

In addition to Colombia, the island countries and South Korea are undoubtedly the biggest impact on the US electronics industry.

As for Taiwan, because of the emergence of Xinghai, it can only produce some low-end products.

Therefore, the economy of Taiwan is not as strong as in the past.

Not only Taiwan, but also Lion City in Southeast Asia is like this.

“so serious?”

“Didn’t you say the transaction amount was less than $1 billion?”

The head of the Ministry of Commerce 183 smiled bitterly and said,”Those are high-end top-level chips. If the other party increases the price further, the impact will be even greater.”

“Moreover, in the field of biomedicine, many drugs produced by Xinghai Biopharmaceutical Company in Colombia have great influence in my country….”

Dan Quayle frowned:”Does this Xinghai Company have such a great influence?”

“Yes, this company can be said to be a super enterprise”

“It’s strange, how could such a company be born in a place like Columbia?

Dan Quayle was suspicious.

If it were an island country or South Korea, he wouldn’t be surprised.

After all, these two places do have a lot of high technology, especially in the field of electronics.

“Is it possible to let this Xinghai Company move to the United States?”

The Minister of Commerce twitched his mouth a few times and smiled bitterly:”The possibility is almost zero. This company has a close relationship with the Colombian government. It can be said that it is the mainstay of the Colombian economy. The Colombian government will never let it move away.”

“”Okay!”

Dan Quayle shrugged. He was just suggesting something.

Think about it, such a powerful company, how could it be easy to leave?

“So what you mean is that we should reconcile with Columbia?”

“That’s not the case.”The Secretary of Commerce shook his head:”As it stands, Colombia is still our biggest enemy. My suggestion is to temporarily ease the relationship with Colombia. At the same time, the government will introduce measures to support the development of the electronics industry, especially to vigorously support the technology industry related to lithography machines, and strive to research and produce more advanced chips.”

From an economic perspective, major US companies, especially technology companies, do not like the US government to be at odds with the Colombian government.

They like to win over Colombia so that everyone can make money together.

Otherwise, if everyone turns the table over and refuses to supply chips, their products can only be sold in trade protection zones.

And they are also facing the island country and South Korea, which are rebellious. Even if we take a step back, there is still Singapore.

But from a geopolitical perspective, as well as from the perspective of Anglo-Saxon and Jewish hegemony, they like to suppress Colombia.

In short, the United States is very contradictory and divided.

Dan Quayle did not give an immediate answer, but only said that he would consider it.

Compared with cutting off the supply of high-end chips, he is eager to solve the problem. What needs to be resolved is the toll price increase in Panama.

At his urging, the Secretary of State contacted the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Panama that day to propose a visit to Panama. After getting the consent, Colin arrived in Panama City, the capital of Panama, the next morning.

Regarding Colin’s arrival, the current President of Panama, Lackey, did not go to greet him in person, but asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs to meet him first.

First find out the purpose of the American guy’s visit.

That evening.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs found out the news and told Lackey.

Cooperation?

Invest 20 billion US dollars in Panama?

Willing to provide Panama with 100 million US dollars in economic support every year.

Lackey was surprised:”Do you think this American guy was kicked in the head by a donkey, or what? He has such a good heart?”

“President, it is obvious that they are trying to win us over. I guess we raised the toll price, which made them feel uncomfortable, so they are trying to ease the relationship with us.”

“But, this $100 million in free economic aid is too little. Do you think highly of Panama?”

Laki also laughed and said,”You are right. Lalong must have an attitude of wooing. This $100 million is useless. Tell that shitty Secretary of State that if we want cooperation between the two countries, we should provide $2.5 billion in economic aid every year. Otherwise, we can raise his tolls at any time.””

“2.5 billion US dollars? I’m afraid the Americans won’t agree to it, right?”

The Foreign Minister clicked his tongue.

He thought the Americans were crazy to agree to this condition.

2.5 billion US dollars.

For the United States, the number is not small.

You know, this was the early 1990s.

Laki smiled and said,”2.5 billion US dollars is too little. You do the math. If we increase the toll by 2 times, based on the number of ships passing by each year, it can bring us at least 3 billion more US dollars. What’s wrong with 2.5 billion US dollars? What’s more, you are not allowed to bargain. With this condition, you go talk to the Secretary of State, I won’t see him.”

“What’s the bottom line?”

“1.5 billion US dollars, 1.5 billion US dollars in economic aid every year, and we will agree to allow their ships and warships to pass through.”Laky thought for a while and said.

It is impossible to completely cut off ties with the Americans and not let them pass through.

After all, a large part of Panama’s economic source is to collect tolls, and the ships going to the United States account for more than 70%.

In addition, the toll has actually been raised once.

Of course, it is for all ships passing through, not just for the United States.

After the Youth Army came to power, the toll was raised by 40%.

It is also because of this that Panama’s annual toll of 700 million to 800 million US dollars has increased to more than 1 billion US dollars.

The next day

“What? $2.5 billion in economic aid every year?”

“Yes, sir.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

“Impossible, the number is too high.”

Colin rejected the proposal without even thinking about it.

What a joke, $2.5 billion in economic aid every year, what’s the difference between that and paying 200% of the tolls now?

“Mr. Secretary of State, this is the condition we put forward. If you agree, I believe the relationship between our two countries will be closer. If not, I can only apologize.”

Colin looked very unhappy.

He couldn’t help but ask,”Can I ask, is it worth it for your country to help Colombia so much? You know, our ships can go through the waters near Argentina.”

“Help Colombia? NO, Mr. Secretary of State misunderstood. The 200% toll collected from your country is a compensation for the damage your country has caused to our country over the years!”

After a pause, looking at Colin with a gloomy face, the Panamanian Foreign Minister smiled slightly:”Although 2.5 billion US dollars is not a small amount, it is a drop in the bucket compared to your country.”

“Besides, the printing press is in your country’s hands, so can’t you print as many dollars as you want?”

“As for you wanting to go to the Argentinian Sea, we have no objection and welcome your country to go.”

Huh!

Colin suppressed his anger, pretended to be calm, and said seriously:”This number is too much, but I will report it to the president.”

“no problem!”

“Waiting for good news from your country at any time”

“Also, I have something else to do, so I’ll excuse you.”[]

Looking at the departing figure, Colin gritted his teeth in anger.

But he could do nothing.

Who told them to control the golden waterway?

Colin returned to his hotel and reported the situation to the White House. Soon he heard Dan Quayle swearing, calling him fuck, greedy thief, and other words, and then hung up the phone.

White House.

Dan Quayle urgently convened a ministerial meeting.

After everyone arrived, he directly threw out a question:”Can we invest in other Central American countries to open a new canal?”

Yes, Dan Quayle planned to invest in a new canal.

Soon someone brought a map.

Study and discuss on it.

Then the conclusion was that a new canal could be opened, a canal could be opened in the southern part of Nicaragua, using Lake Nicaragua to build a canal of more than 140 kilometers.

But how much is the cost? It is estimated that it may reach tens of billions of dollars, and the relationship between Nicaragua and the United States is not very good.

When he heard that it would cost tens of billions of dollars, Dan Quayle immediately gave up.

Forget about spending money.

The main reason is that Nicacians hate the United States.

What if tens of billions of dollars are invested and then go down the drain?

In addition, they may not necessarily agree to let the Americans build it.

Of course, the most important thing is that it will take more than ten or twenty years to recover the cost of investing in the canal. American entrepreneurs will be stupid to invest.

And the rate of return is not high.

Having given up the idea of building a new canal, Dan Quayle contacted Colin in Panama again:”US$2.5 billion is too much. Tell them that it is a maximum of US$1 billion, and they must also allow the aircraft carrier fleet to pass through.”

Yes.

Since the Youth Army came to power.

If the US aircraft carrier fleet wants to go to the east and west coastlines, it has to go around the Ardin Sea.

It is extremely inconvenient.

After receiving instructions from the White House, Colin found the Panamanian Foreign Minister to talk.

After a verbal battle, Panama proposed a minimum of US$2 billion.

Colin contacted Dan Quayle again urgently.

After repeated communications, the US government finally agreed to provide economic assistance of US$1.7 billion per year for 15 years.

To make up for the damage caused to the Panamanian people when the canal was dug.

After all, 60,000 to 70,000 people died when the canal was dug.

After the negotiation, the two sides signed an economic aid contract a week later.

The news was quickly leaked.

European and American media have been advocating that Panama has reconciled with the United States, will stand on the side of the United States, and abandon Colombia.

This news has caused a lot of controversy in Colombia.

Many ordinary people believe that Panama is betraying Colombia and are very dissatisfied with Panama.

However, to the surprise of the outside world, Colombia was not angry, but just said that it respected Panama’s choice.

In fact, this matter was instructed by Louis, who took the opportunity to blackmail.

Louis agrees and supports things that make the Americans bleed.

As for Panama turning to the United States, don’t joke.

As long as the Youth Army is in power, it is impossible to turn to the United States.

(Ps: The plot is a bit stuck, sorry for the two chapters! I will sort out the plot tonight….）
