Eventually, Ford Benjamin was arrested by the Colombian government.

It's just that this "arrest" is not quite the same as the arrest that most people understand, Ford Benjamin is still living in the hospital, but the entire hospital is surrounded by Colombian soldiers, from this point of view, Ford Benjamin was indeed arrested by the Colombian government.

In fact, it is just a self-deception, Colombian soldiers can only be outside the hospital, not even the hospital gate, the hospital is controlled by Panamanian mercenaries, and the local government of Nuki has to provide the hospital with all kinds of fresh vegetables, meat and fruits on time, this kind of "arrest" is just a mouthful of enjoyment.

What the Colombian government wants is to get by on the face, if it really wants to do something to Ford Benjamin, the Colombian government really doesn't dare, after all, the Panama company is not the US government, and the US government sometimes has to take into account the international influence or something when negotiating with the Colombian government, and the mercenary company has no bottom line, unless the Colombian government is sure that the Panamanian company will be completely eradicated, otherwise the Colombian government really feels hot for Ford Benjamin.

By the way, even if the Colombian government completely eradicates the Panama company, the backstage of the Panama company is the Horse Group, as long as the Horse Group does not fall, the mercenary company like the Panama Company really wants as many as there are, and it has to deal with the Horse Group-

Well, this is no less difficult than declaring war directly on the United States.

In this context, it is possible to understand how entangled the Colombian government has been in the past few days.

After nightfall, the nightlife of Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, has just begun, Bogotá is located in the valley of the Sumapaz plateau on the west side of the Cordillera Oriental, at an altitude of 2,640 meters. Bogotá is one of the most important cities on the South American continent, having been awarded the title of "World Book Capital" by UNESCO in the 21st century and known as the "Iberian Capital of Culture".

As a former Spanish colony, Bogotá City has a large number of buildings left over from the Spanish colonial period, Spanish architecture is a standard bay-style layout, both beautiful and livable, Bogotá City near the Plaza Bolívar is a rich area left by the Spanish colonizers, many Colombian government officials and Spanish descendants live here, Bogotá high society nightlife also started here.

As soon as night fell, Abel Raleigh, an executive at the San Diego Investment Corporation, came to the home of Congressman Ryan Brooke for a coming-of-age dinner hosted by Ryan Brooke for his daughter.

Coming-of-age dinner is a tradition left over from the Spanish colonial period, although the Colombians resolutely overthrew the Spanish colonial rule, but the habits left over from the Spanish colonial period cannot be changed, this is the sadness of the colony, their history and culture have been closely linked with the suzerain, the rule can be overthrown, but the culture can not be removed.

Like most Colombian congressmen, Ryan Brooke is also Hispanic, and although Colombians don't want to admit it, strictly speaking, Colombia is still controlled by a group of Spaniards, which is the sadness of the bottom of society, who have no choice at all.

"Mr. Raleigh, you're a little early." Ryan Brooke is dressed in a formal suit and is ready to host her daughter's coming-of-age dinner, which is important for a family, and Ryan Brooke has always regarded himself as a cherished family, so of course such an event will not be missed.

"Hehe, Mr. Councillor, I brought a greeting from Mr. Morgan, I'm sorry, Mr. Morgan can't be there to congratulate him in person, but he sincerely wishes Miss Brooke good and beautiful." Abel Rowley was courteous, and the person who could represent J.P. Morgan was naturally impeccable in terms of etiquette.

At this critical juncture, all the people and events related to the United States are worth paying attention to, not to mention, J.P. Morgan is not someone that Ryan Brooke is qualified to ignore, so Abel Rowley was immediately invited to Ryan Brooke's study.

"Tell me, what are you looking for me to do?" When he arrived in the study, of course, Ryan Brooke didn't have to put on that gentlemanly face, and his tone was much more casual, thinking of the troubles of the past few days, Ryan Brooke even pulled off the bow tie he had just carefully tied as soon as he entered the door.

"What else could it be, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Rockefeller, and Mr. Ream are very concerned about our friend who is seriously injured and hospitalized, and if they can, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Rockefeller, and Mr. Rim all want Mr. Ford Benjamin to return to New York for more advanced treatment." Abel Raleigh knows how to take advantage of everything, and if J.P. Morgan is not enough, then pull Rockefeller and Li Mu together, and these are shareholders of Panama anyway.

"It can't be, Ford Benjamin has violated Colombian law, he must be punished by the law-" Ryan Brooke did not give in directly, as a member of Congress in Colombia, Ryan Brooke cannot spit because his power comes from the support of the government, not from multinational corporations.

"Mr. Brooke, allow me to interrupt, regarding the Colombian government's arrest of Mr. Ford Benjamin, our United States Government does not recognize that Panama is now an independent country, so the Colombian government's accusations against Mr. Ford Benjamin are not established, so all the actions of the Colombian government based on this will not be accepted by Washington, not to mention, you know, Ford Benjamin is the general manager of the Panamanian company, and the Panamanian company has tens of thousands of mercenaries all over the world, The reason why I am here is because both Mr. Morgan and Mr. Ream still retain a considerable degree of goodwill towards the Colombian government, so it is unwise for the Colombian government to treat Mr. Ford Benjamin now, Mr. Rim is very concerned about this matter, and maybe you don't know that Mr. Ford Benjamin has the trust of Mr. Riem because Mr. Ford Benjamin once saved Mr. Reem's life, and I can't even imagine that if Mr. Ford Benjamin died in Nuqui, if it wasn't for the Colombian government, then how angry Mr. Ream must be. Abel Rowley knows what Ryan Brooke and others are afraid of, J.P. Morgan is indeed great, but in some things, J.P. Morgan is really not as good as Li Mu's reputation as an "arms dealer".

Don't think how great a congressman is, for ordinary people, congressmen are indeed an existence that cannot be looked up to, but for Li Mu as an "arms dealer", Colombian congressmen are probably equivalent to the existence of indigenous African chiefs, just like Abel Rowley said, if Li Mu is angry, many people will have to pay.

"Mr. Ford Benjamin and Mr. Reem's past has nothing to do with the Colombian government, Colombia is an independent country, and if you think you can do whatever you want in Colombia, you are wrong." Ryan Brooke immediately became inward-looking, and his confidence was seriously lacking.

It is indeed a lack of confidence, if Ford Benjamin dies in Colombia, Li Mu may not put aside Washington to kill in Colombia, but it is understandable that Li Mu wants to vent his anger with some people, Colombia as a country, there is indeed no need to be afraid of the threat of Li Mu as a businessman, but if this threat is specific to a certain person, then the result will be very terrifying, Ryan Brooke has reason to suspect that the Colombian government will not be able to protect Ryan Brooke at that time.

Of course, the police are not afraid of criminals, even if all those drug dealers are outlaws, the police will not be afraid of him, because the police are a whole and have the whole country as a backer, so they don't have to worry about whether they can do it or not.

But if you transition from the whole to the individual, it is necessary to use mosaics, not only for the protection of the anti-narcotics police, but also for the protection of the police's families.

"Of course not, no one wants to act recklessly in Colombia, on the contrary, Mr. Morgan and Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Ream also want to bring a lot of investment to Colombia, and Mr. Rockefeller seems to be looking for oil in Colombia, right? There are also shares of Mr. Morgan and Mr. Ream, Mr. Morgan has always wanted to expand the business of Morgan Bank to Bogotá, and Mr. Ream is very interested in Colombian emeralds, you know, Mr. Rem is interested in all kinds of gemstones, and to say something I shouldn't say, the last war between Colombia and Panama, I believe it gave a revelation to many people, that is, Colombia needs a stronger army to protect Colombia's interests, and Mr. Reem, It is precisely the best weapon in the world, so Mr. Congressman, the friendship between Mr. Morgan and Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Ream is important, and it is now in front of you, within reach. "Abel Raleigh does everything, what do politicians need most? It's not about arresting wanted criminals, that's the job of the police, and what politicians need is real benefits.

Of course, Ryan Brooke knows about Standard Oil's drilling team, and the entire Colombian government has high hopes for the drilling team, if oil can really be found in Colombia, it will be tantamount to opening up a stable source of finance, or Standard Oil took the initiative to give it, so when Rockefeller said that he would send a drilling team to Colombia, the whole of Colombia was looking forward to it.

As for Morgan and Li Mu's investment, of course, the Colombian government will not refuse, in fact, the Santiago Investment Company has expanded its business to Colombia, and the gold and emeralds produced in Colombia are mainly traded through the Santiago Investment Company, otherwise Abel Rowley would not be eligible to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony of Ryan Brooke's daughter.

Colombia is known as the "El Dorado" in history, the gold produced in Colombia once strongly supported the global colonization of Spain, after the overthrow of Spanish colonial rule, Colombia's gold production has not been greatly improved, but because of Colombia's domestic corruption, the output value of the gold industry is declining every year, the Colombian government is very hopeful to introduce foreign capital, the development of Colombia's gold mines.

As for emeralds, this is the pride of Colombia, Colombia produces emeralds that account for half of the world's emerald market, Colombia is synonymous with top emeralds, and in recent years, most of the emeralds produced in Colombia have been sold to Santiago Investment Company.

"Alas, Abel, I admit that you are right, no one can refuse the friendship of Mr. Morgan, Mr. Rockefeller, and Mr. Reem, as long as they say a word, and the people who are willing to serve them can be lined up from Bogotá all the way to New York, but the current reality is that everyone knows that Ford Benjamin is being treated in the hospital at, what do you think the government and Congress should do? Just release Ford Benjamin directly? So how do the government and Congress account to the public? "Ryan Brooke knows that what Abel Rowley said is true, but the situation is like this, the Colombian government is also riding a tiger, even the street cleaners know that the country's second most wanted person is in Nuki, and if Colombia does not arrest Ford Benjamin, then the Colombian government will not be able to account to the public.

"Of course it is impossible to release directly, and Mr. Morgan and Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Ream have never embarrassed their friends, but what if—I mean what if, if Mr. Ford Benjamin died of his wounds in the hospital at Nookee?" Abel Raleigh also didn't expect the Colombian government to release Ford Benjamin directly, it is indeed difficult to get Ford Benjamin back to the United States through normal channels, but if Ford Benjamin is dead, there will be more things that can be done.

"It's dead—" Ryan Brooke was surprised, he really didn't expect Abel Rowley to have such a divine operation.

"Yes, if Mr. Ford Benjamin were dead, wouldn't that be a matter of embarrassment to the government and Congress?" Abel Raleigh was serious, as if Ford Benjamin was really dead.

"Of course, if Mr. Ford Benjamin dies, it will not be embarrassed, the Colombian government is very humanitarian, and if Mr. Ford Benjamin's family needs Mr. Ford Benjamin's body, then the Colombian government will definitely return Mr. Ford Benjamin's body." Ryan Brooke was overjoyed, as long as Ford Benjamin died, as for how he died, then let the Colombian government play, it is okay to say that Ford Benjamin is seriously ill and died, and it is okay to say that the Colombian government killed him.

Dead people don't count anyway.
