The next day, Li Mu returned to the headquarters of Fort Park and immediately called Ford Benjamin.

"Panama Company? Don't be so troublesome. Just leave this kind of thing to our Springfield Company." Ford Benjamin is a rich man who doesn't flow to outsiders. If there is such a good thing, of course, you have to take it over first.

"No, Chuntian Company cannot interfere in this matter. Panama Company is just taking the blame. The farther Springfield is from such a thing, the better." Li Mu explained it with a rare sentence.

Ford Benjamin no longer interjected. I just said something that was actually out of line. Ford Benjamin cannot question Li Mu's decision. It must be implemented if it is understood, and it must be implemented if it is not understood. This is the boss's authority and cannot be provoked casually.

"You select some people from Springfield and take them to Panama. First, build the company's framework. If you encounter trouble, you can deal with it directly without asking anyone for instructions." Li Mu gave Ford Benjamin the greatest degree of autonomy.

"How to use it?" Ford Benjamin had to determine the rights he had.

"Any way." Li Mu confirmed again, not giving any restrictions to Ford Benjamin.

The biggest difference between Panama and Springfield Security is that Panama can use any means to deal with its enemies without any scruples.

After Ford Benjamin and others arrived in Panama, the situation they faced would be far more complicated than in the United States and the environment was more sinister. It is possible that in the United States, the security personnel of Springfield Security Company took effective control when facing potential enemies, but in Panama, this situation often fired directly.

So Will is right, only those who kill without blinking are the most suitable for this profession.

The efficiency of the Canal Company is still very high. Within just one week, Panama Company completed its registration in Panama City. When the registration was registered, Panama Company already had 1,500 employees, making it the largest local enterprise in Panama.

Not all of these 1,500 people are retired American soldiers, some of them are down-and-out gunmen and homeless men. They basically have no source of livelihood, so they can only choose to work hard at Panama Company.

You really work hard. From the beginning, all employees knew what they were about to do. In principle, Panama provided employees with two portable guns, one long and one short, one long, one short, two long ones, one spring field ammunition rifles, and the short one was a python-type military revolver.

These two weapons are standard weapons of Panama, but Panama does not make mandatory requirements for the selection of portable weapons. If employees prefer to use other weapons, Panama will not prohibit them, but employees need to pay for it themselves, and Panama is not responsible for logistics support.

There were 1,500 people, close to the organization of an infantry regiment, so on the day the Panama Company was established, Ford Benjamin received the nickname "Colin".

"We are facing a very bad situation, almost all Panamanians are our potential enemies, knowing that it is possible to shoot from any direction, from now on, Mr. Colonel, better keep your people on alert because they have entered the war zone." On Panama's side, Leonard Gilmore is responsible for receiving Ford Benjamin.

Leonard Gilmore was lucky enough to escape the conflict that day. Neither the explosion nor the fire, it hurt Leonard Gilmore, but Leonard Gilmore's luck ended here. After the conflict broke out, Leonard Gilmore was removed from office and became a victim of the conflict.

"No problem, we're mentally prepared." Ford Benjamin adapted to this kind of life more than Leonard Gilmore imagined.

The other people who came to Panama City with Ford Benjamin also had 200 registered employees of Panama Company. The others will arrive in Panama in the next three days. By then, Panama Company will become the most powerful armed force in the Panama Isthmus.

Strictly speaking, the current Panama Isthmus is under the common jurisdiction of the Colombian government and the US government, but because the US government and the Colombian government will not station troops in the Panama region, this also leads to a power vacuum in the Panama Isthmus, and the Panama Company appears at the right time.

The Panama Company's headquarters is located near the Panama Railway Station. On the way back to the headquarters, through the carriage window, Ford Benjamin could clearly feel the Panamanians outside the window looking at the hostility in the eyes of these Americans.

Leonard Gilmore is right, this is a hostile city that should be in combat from now on.

Although a week has passed since the conflict, the ruins of the station building that was burned down due to the fire have not yet been cleared, there are still bright red blood stains on the ground in front of the station building, which remind people at all times what has happened here.

"Lu, build a line of defense around you and tell your men to be smart. This is different from New York. If we encounter danger, we can shoot." Ford Benjamin's first order was to first set up a defense, determine a green zone before other work could be carried out.

As of now, the green area is only near the station. It seems that Leonard Kilmo and his team have done a lot of work before. There are white cordons and wooden horse-rejecting horses in front of the station. Light machine guns are also installed in the sandbag position behind the post. It seems that the situation is indeed very serious.

"Yes, boss!" Lu is a strong Chinese, an old employee of Springfield Company. Ford Benjamin came to Panama this time. There are more than 20 people like Lu, and they are Ford Benjamin's team.

"Sir Colonel, you're finally here." Peter Stevenson carried a rifle, his body's bullet bag was filled with bullets, his eyes were covered with blood, and his face was covered with fatigue.

After the conflict, Peter Stevenson cleaned up all the Panamanians under his command. Although the hidden dangers were eliminated, he was even more stretched due to insufficient manpower. During this period, Peter Stevenson and his more than 40 were the last armed forces of the Panama Railway. God knows what they have experienced in the past few days.

"Thank you for a hard time, Peter, go and have a good sleep. We will take over the next thing." Ford Benjamin released enough kindness to Peter Stevenson. On the day of the conflict, Peter Stevenson and others killed more than 100 Panananas, and only had more than 20 casualties. Considering the situation that day, this was indeed amazing.

"Thank you, I miss my big bed very much now. I think I can sleep for three days and three nights." Peter Stevenson was not polite, and he was indeed at his limit.

As soon as he took over the defense, Lu and his men encountered a test. Outside the white cordon in the green area, a small number of Panamanians began to gather. Most of these people were women, children, and some elderly people, but Lu and the others did not dare to be careless. In the era of thermal weapons, women and children were also dangerous. As long as they were given a gun, they could kill adult men.

"Warning, please don't get close to the white line. We will shoot, repeat..." In the booth behind the cordon, someone was holding an iron horn and shouting to the women and children in the local Panama dialect. The machine gunners and riflesmen have all been in place. If the women and children dare to cross the cordon, then Lu and others will really shoot.

"We, are we really going to shoot later?" Not everyone was fully prepared. Right next to Lu, a young mercenary, who was not old, showed enough nervousness. His face was covered in sweat and his clothes were soaked in sweat.

"If they dare to cross the cordon, then we must shoot, otherwise the dead person may be you." Lu has rich experience in this area and will definitely not hesitate at that time.

"Okay, we will shoot..." The young mercenary wiped sweat from his forehead, pulled the bolt to check the bullet was inside the chamber, and then closed the bolt and prepared to fire.

Warnings still work. The women and children did not cross the cordon, but they also showed obvious hostility. Their eyes were full of hatred. Although there was no further action, the power released by the silent crowd seemed to be even stronger and chilling.

"I think we need to do some cleaning work first, it's better to move all the Panamanians in this area, otherwise we will have big trouble in the future." Ford Benjamin looked at the angry silent crowd outside the cordon and was worried.

"Although this method is very effective, it is not realistic. We will dig the Panama Canal in the future and require a large number of workers, so there will be more and more Panamanians here." Leonard Gilmo knew the next arrangement of Panama Company, which was originally Leonard Gilmo's job.

"As there such a big deal because of salary issues, are you sure there are still people who are willing to work for us now?" Ford Benjamin was not optimistic. It was a large-scale mass incident that caused more than 100 casualties just because of dozens of dollars. This was a bit too expensive.

"Of course some people are willing to work for us. They like not us, but the money in our hands, so don't worry about the lack of workers. What we should worry about is the efficiency of workers. The Panamanian workers here are so low that they are simply unbearable." Although it was not too long since they came to Panama, Leonard Gilmore knew Panamanians very well, as if he had lived here for decades.

It doesn’t need to be compared with Chinese workers. Even compared with Irish people who are too lazy to be famous, Panamanian workers can be described as low efficiency. No wonder the Panamanian railway management had to deduct their salary before.

"Inefficiency, haha, it doesn't exist, this is the value of our existence." Ford Benjamin was very confident that evil people still need to be polished by evil people, and filial sons emerge under the stick. As long as the supervision is in place, it is actually not difficult to improve efficiency.

There are no unions and messy rights protection organizations these days. The living conditions of workers in many factories are not much better than those of the slaves in the plantation before.

It should be noted that in 1821, the newly established Republic of Colombia announced the abolition of slavery, but like the United States, this decision was strongly opposed by domestic conservatives. Slavery has always been widely present, and the term abolishment has no way to talk about. From 1821 to the present, Colombia has been in chaos and the regime has changed several times. This can be seen from the name of the country. First, in 1829, Venezuela made a statement.

Ming Dynasty, withdrew from the Greater Colombian Republic. In May of the following year, the Quito region announced its withdrawal from Colombia and established the Republic of Ecuador. In December of that year, Bolivar died, and then Colombia disintegrated. In 1831, Colombia and Panama were renamed the New Republic of Granada. In 1856, Colombia was renamed the Confederacy of Granada, and in 1863, it changed its name to the United States of Colombia.

The Colombian government during this period probably, like those who "ignorant people always set their goals", wanted to express their determination by changing their names, establish a new government, and start a new journey. However, this method was not very effective, but instead made the Colombian government look like a joke. Until 1865, the Colombian government, which had been renamed the United States of Colombia, announced the abolition of slavery again. This time, the term "slave" finally disappeared from Colombia in form.

It's just in form. The United States has not completely eradicated slavery, and the Colombian government is even more powerless. This is just like the Colombian government that started a war on drugs in the 21st century. Not only has the drugs not been eradicated, but the entire country is facing collapse.

Anyone who knows the Colombian government knows that it is normal for such incredible things to happen in this country. This is also the confidence of the Canal Company Management Committee. A weak government cannot effectively protect its own interests. What's more, the Canal Company has the US government as a backing, so Li Mu and the others are even more confident.

Within the following three days, 1,500 mercenaries arrived in Panama City one after another. Only then did Ford Benjamin go to the mayor of Panama City and formally make a request to Panama City.

"What kind of building do you want to build? It requires $1.25 million?" Panama Mayor Eddie Housmann did not expect that Ford Benjamin would make such a request.

"Of course it can't be the case before. This time we have to build a permanent building of reinforced concrete, so the cost will be so high. This is also for the future consideration. If similar events happen again in the future-" Ford Benjamin was lazy, lying on a chair opposite Eddie Housemann, and his shiny leather boots were directly placed on Eddie Housemann's desk, showing the American arrogance and strength in America to the fullest.
