This time, Juan Sanchez came to Panama. In addition to finding out the truth, he also had a mission to bring Martinez Silva back to Bogota for investigation.
Although there is no evidence at Juan Sanchez that Martinez Silva is related to the death of others, Martinez Silva's survival is extremely suspicious, so when Juan Sanchez sees Martinez Silva, he can't wait to ask Martinez Silva to return to Bogota.
It is conceivable that if Martinez Silva returned to Bogota, she would be treated and investigated. House arrest would be light and might be thrown into prison and never make a move.
After thinking through this link, there is no need to hesitate to go wherever it is. Martinez Silva did not feel ashamed of the sarcasm, and expressed his position with a neat rejection.
"I'm afraid it's up to you to decide whether to do it or not." Juan Sanchez knew that Martinez Silva would not submit easily, but today, on this occasion, Juan Sanchez is confident of achieving his goal. Even if he uses strong power, he will bring Martinez Silva back to Bogota.
With Juan Sanchez's gesture, several uniformed military policemen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were taken off the "Bogota" and prepared to take Martinez Silva away directly by force.
Compared with the thin-bodied Martinez Silva, all of these four military policemen were big and round, and their waists were equipped with weapons, which seemed to be ready.
"Mr. Minister, this is Panama. I'm afraid it's not your turn to decide whether it's done or not." Eddie Housman made a casual gesture, and a group of strong men in Panama police uniforms immediately surrounded him.
Now in Panama, there is no police department. These police officers are actually employees of Panama. Judging from their appearance, they are still obviously different from the locals in Panama, so Juan Sanchez immediately realized something was wrong.
It's very wrong. Not to mention whether these policemen are Panama natives. Eddie Housman ordered the police to fight against the military police. This matter itself is not right.
"Mayor, are you going to stop me?" Juan Sanchez was not loud, but powerful. Faced with Panama local government officials, Juan Sanchez had enough psychological advantages.
"Mr. Minister, if you visit Panama as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Glombia, then we will welcome you. Please allow me to introduce you to the President of the Republic of Panama and the Speaker of the National Assembly. Please keep your due respect." Although Eddie Housman spoke with a serious expression, anyone could see Eddie Housman's heartfelt pride.
It can't be suppressed at all.
"Are you crazy in the Republic of Panama?" Juan Sanchez finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
Before coming, when he was in Bogota, Juan Sanchez had imagined countless possibilities, including accidents, revenge, or other reasons, but in any case, Juan Sanchez did not expect that Panama actually wanted to leave Colombia and become an independent country.
This is too much. Even if there is no Panama Canal in the Panama Isthmus, Bogota will never accept this unilateral separation, not to mention that the Americans have decided to dig the Panama Canal. Panama will become Colombia's richest source of wealth, so how can Bogota let go?
"Of course we are not crazy. In fact, today, the Republic of Panama was officially established. From now on, we no longer accept the rule of Bogota. The fate of the Panamanians should be decided by the Republic of Panama." Martinez Silva, on behalf of Panama, officially announced his separation from Colombia.
This occasion may not be suitable, but the target is very suitable. After all, not only are the Colombian Foreign Minister, but also the ambassadors of Britain and France to Colombia, which saves a lot of trouble in the Republic of Panama.
In fact, just when Martinez Silva and Juan Sanchez were fighting each other, Adrian and Robin were watching the show. It was not until Martinez Silva announced that Panama had left Colombia and established the Republic of Panama that Adrian and Robin put aside their thoughts on watching the show, exchanged glances between them, and could see deep worries in each other's eyes.
They are both veterans in diplomacy and have seen many intrigues between countries. There is almost no need to investigate such things. Although there is no evidence, Adrian and Robin can now be sure that the Americans must have played a key role in Panama's separation from Colombia.
Of course, so far, Adrian and Robin's suspicion is still limited to the US government and have not focused their attention on Panama. Perhaps in their opinion, a commercial company is unlikely to subvert the state regime, just like the former East India Company. Although the East India Company is so powerful that it can easily destroy a country, the East India Company has not done that. After all, "national war" has completely exceeded the scope of a company's business.
It cannot be said that the two ambassadors have not had broad knowledge. In this era, their abilities are already the best choice, but they still have their limitations of the times. This limitation of the times still exists even in the 21st century. Thinking about Crimea in 2014, sometimes the world changes in the world is really a moment.
If it was not the United States who manipulated Panama behind the scenes, but some other country, perhaps Adrian and Robin would be more likely to accept that once Panama leaves Colombia with the support of the United States and becomes an independent country, it is basically certain that the Panama Canal in the future will definitely be under the control of the United States, which is not a good thing for Britain and France.
"...You are all crazy. We will never accept this damn Republic of Panama, nor will we admit it... You just wait to welcome Bogota's anger. At that time, you will be hanged, your family will be implicated, and even all Panamanians will suffer because of your ambitions..." Juan Sanchez finally came to his senses. At this time, he could no longer see the elegance and calmness of the diplomats, and he jumped and almost cursed.
I could only enjoy my mouth. Juan Sanchez did not expect such a big situation. Even if the Bogota number includes sailors and cleaners, there were less than one hundred people. The police on the dock had a rough look at it. It would be impossible to make a move now. Therefore, although Juan Sanchez now has the heart to kill Martinez Silva and Eddie Houseman, he still can't do anything and dare not do it. Otherwise, no one would be sure whether Juan Sanchez and his group could escape unscathed.
There is a saying among Chinese people that when two countries fight, they don’t kill them. In fact, they are nonsense. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as “sacrificing flags”. Westerners do not value these superficial skills. If Juan Sanchez performs too much, it’s really hard to say what steps Martinez Silva and Eddie Houseman will do, and maybe even Adrian and Robin will be in trouble.
"Mr. Minister, temporary venting cannot solve the problem, and you have no right to make decisions on behalf of Colombia, so let's calm down. Whether it is war or peace next, we are all ready." Martinez Silva remained calm, a manifestation of completely gaining the upper hand.
"Peace? You are dreaming. I can tell you now, be prepared for war and death. Colombia is never ruthless when dealing with traitors." Juan Sanchez knew that impulse could not solve the problem, so he forced himself to calm down. Of course, he still had to say harsh words that should be made, and the loss would not be lost.
Starting from September 1, although there has been no declaration of war between the Republic of Panama and the United States of Colombia, it has actually entered a state of war.
The last time Ecuador broke away from Colombia's independence, it had a significant impact on Colombia, so the Colombian government could not accept Panama's independence this time. As soon as Juan Sanchez returned to Bogota, President of the United States of Colombia, Aquileo Gomez, immediately launched a national mobilization order to prepare for the war against Balamas.
Before the war began, Aguileo Gomez not only wanted to support the support of Britain and France, but also had to express his attitude to the United States, so Aguileo Gomez sent a special envoy to the United States as soon as possible.
If it is not sent, Panama declared independence on September 1. On September 2, Washington issued an announcement to recognize the Republic of Panama and establish ambassador-level diplomatic relations with the Republic of Panama, set up embassies and consulates in Panama and Cologne, and sent envoys and officials.
This reaction speed is really too timely. At present, the United States is the only country in the world that recognizes the Republic of Panama, so Colombia wants to express its clear attitude to Washington.
The presidential envoy is still Colombian Foreign Minister Juan Sanchez. On the day Juan Sanchez arrived in Washington, Hayes met Juan Sanchez.
"Support? No, there is no, the establishment of the Republic of Panama has nothing to do with the United States of America. We only established diplomatic relations with the Republic of Panama for consideration of the Panama Canal. After all, we have prepared for this for decades and put in countless efforts by generations." Faced with Juan Sanchez's questioning, Hays pushed it all out and established himself as an image of "worrying about the country and the people".
Hayes's words sounded high-sounding, but in fact they could not stand scrutiny. It was true that it had been prepared for decades, but it was only prepared and never implemented. As for the countless efforts of generations, it was even more fictitious. The only thing that could make Americans think so was the reservation of the Indians.
"But according to our investigation, there are indeed a large number of Americans in Panama, and the Panama Company, which is inseparable from the Panama Canal Company and the Horse Group in New York. All of this makes us believe that there must be someone involved. They rely solely on the Panamanians. They do not have the ability to leave Colombia and have no determination." Juan Sanchez directly called the name this time to see how Hayes still argued.
In fact, as a diplomat, it is obviously inappropriate to speak to Hayes with this attitude, but Juan Sanchez doesn't care about so much now. Colombia and Panama have entered a state of war. At this time, it's really a bit of putting the cart before the horse and talking about etiquette and attitude.
"It sounds like it's just a personal behavior of some businessmen, so it won't make you so worried. As for Junma Group, I have a good relationship with Mr. Reim of Junma Group. Although Mr. Reim's age can easily make people doubt his ability, I have to say that Mr. Reim is definitely an upright person. Junma Group is also a very socially responsible enterprise. So please don't say anything like that, otherwise it will be rude and offensive." Hayes gave Li Mu and Junma Group a very high evaluation, and probably Li Mu himself wouldn't have thought of it.
"I have different opinions on this issue. Maybe you don't know yet. Ford Benjamin, the general manager of Panama, has a close relationship with the Junma Group. At least five years ago, Ford Benjamin has served the Junma Group. So we do not deny the greatness of Mr. Li Mu and Junma Group, but we cannot ignore the relationship between Panama and Junma Group because of this." Even if Juan Sanchez hates Junma Group and Li Mu now, he must recognize the status of Li Mu and Junma Group.
In fact, as early as a few years ago, the influence of Li Mu and Junma Group had already spread to Colombia. In Bogota, the office of Colombia Investment Company is even still open normally. Sanchez also wanted to do something about it, but in the end the energy was limited, so he could only give Li Mu some eye drops to Hayes.
Compared with the previous century... No, even compared with the previous decade, business has undergone earth-shaking changes, but some universal truths are still out of date in this era.
Santiago Investment Company has offices in countries along the Caribbean coast, and these offices do not exist alone. They are closely related to the ruling class of their country. For example, the Colombia Investment Company's office in Bogota is manager of Aguileo Gomez's wife's uncle. If there is this relationship, no one dares to close the Colombia Investment Company's office.
"Okay, don't say useless nonsense. Everyone has a tight time. Instead of striking here, it's better to go back and prepare. Get what you can't get from the negotiating table on the battlefield, which will also win respect." Hayes said it nicely, but in fact it's very clear that the Colombian government will lose this battle.
Hayes did not know how powerful the Colombian army was, nor did he know how much the Panamanians could pay for the independence of the country. The only thing Hayes knew was that Li Mu was on the side of the Republic of Panama this time.
This is enough.
