Of course, the staff of the presidential palace understood what it meant, and quickly arranged for James Carnegie to rest. Last night was hard enough, one-on-three, not everyone can handle it. And as this rich second generation said, he is indeed a victim. At this time, you can't be overly exciting, let alone a rich boy, these professionally trained police officers may not be able to withstand it.
The law and order in Argentina is very poor. Gangs and slums are everywhere. The police do not say they have experienced many battles, but at least they have seen blood. Although not as strong as a professional soldier, he is not an ordinary person. But seeing such a scene, I still feel that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens; it is estimated that Hollywood movies would not dare to shoot like this.
These people have literally turned killing into an art, which has to be admired. At the same time, I was praying in my heart that the murderer had better have left Argentina. If he confronted him head-on, he would definitely not be his opponent. Fighting with these professional killers is no different from sending them to death.
After the situation was basically understood, the US ambassador said to Argentine President Alfoncin: "Your Excellency, the incident happened in Argentina. You must give the American people an explanation, and hope that Argentina will take action and catch the murderer as soon as possible."
In a purely politician's tone, the murderer has long escaped, and where is he going to catch him? However, as the American ambassador said, an explanation must be given to the people. If there is no murderer, is there no scapegoat? The American people do not know the specific situation, and they have the final say on what matters.
Alfonsin: "Judging from the current situation, the murderer should have launched the attack because he was dissatisfied with the German scientists being taken away. I hope Mr. Ambassador can pass this on to the country; Argentina is a small country and can't stand the toss. No one wants to see such a thing, and we will definitely show our utmost sincerity to meet any needs of your country."
The attitude is very good, and the US ambassador is not good at overly stimulating the other party. After the news is announced, it will have the greatest impact on Argentina, at least in a short period of time, the tourism industry will not be good. It is definitely a heavy blow to the already depressed Argentine economy.
Now is not the time to worry about Argentina's life and death, but think about how you will report to President Reagan!
At this time, the United States was peaceful. Those people who rioted because of the production of Sun Cannons by the Black Cloud Group were all punished. Although Reagan was an actor, he was definitely a hardliner. For any riots, threats to the security of the country and the people; there will be no compromise at all, even zero tolerance.
At this time, the embassy in Argentina used the emergency channel to call the White House, which surprised the staff. After all, unless there is a major event, this channel will never be used easily. If it is an ordinary report, but you have to queue. Now that the emergency channel is directly used, no one dares to neglect, and quickly report the situation to Reagan.
Reagan was also at a loss as to whether it was another coup d'état in Argentina. At the same time, I also thought in my heart that the country should not allow soldiers to participate in politics, otherwise there will be chaos. Argentina is a good example, and the United States must take a warning.
Although I had already thought about what to say before, when I really wanted to report to Reagan, it was still a little difficult to speak. Americans are not afraid to spend money, and it is not difficult to see from the war. But death is a very troublesome thing; more than 90 Americans die in a foreign land at once, and the people will certainly not agree.
But there is no way to do it now. I can only hope that old Morgan will pay for it, otherwise even the president will be at risk of impeachment.
U.S. Ambassador: "Your Excellency President, a very difficult thing has happened in Argentina. All the personnel from the National Steel Corporation who came to Argentina for inspection, except for James Carnegie and two bodyguards, have all been killed. 98 bodies; 92 of them were American."
Although I had already prepared in my heart, after all, ambassadors abroad are smart people, and they will not activate special communication channels unless there is an emergency. It was thought that the Argentine regime had a coup d'etat, but it was the Americans who had problems outside. And more than 90 people were killed; it was so big that Reagan didn't react for a while.
Fortunately, the presidential position has also been sitting for a while, but it is not that he has no opinion at all.
Reagan: "What is the situation, please clarify. The Argentines should not be so bold and dare to attack the Americans, and the local gangsters do not have the strength. There must be other things here, and I want to know the result."
"The domestic public sentiment has just calmed down and cannot be stimulated at this time."
No one would kill so many Americans for no reason. They are the most powerful country in the world. Argentine gangsters don't talk about Americans, as long as they are foreigners, they basically don't touch them. If there is a diplomatic incident, the government will definitely have bad luck in order to maintain its image.
US Ambassador: "Currently, it is shown that 98 people were killed at about 4 am today, and they all died within half an hour. That is to say, the murderer killed 98 people in half an hour, including well-trained security personnel."
"At the same time, there were several Argentines at the scene, all of whom were German immigrants, and they were around 70 years old. In addition, some technical materials were found, all of which were technical drawings for the development and production of German weapons during World War II."
"The Morgan family came to Argentina not to invest or buy minerals at all. They wanted those German scientists and engineers who escaped back then, including their technical drawings of course."
"The killing method is neat and tidy, and it is not at all sloppy; it must be the work of professional soldiers, and the most suspect must be the Soviets. At present, there are very few institutions in the world that can do so quickly."
"Israel will definitely not dare. The British would not attack us Americans if they wanted to attack Argentina. If they dared to do so, it would be very difficult to end if they were exposed; other countries simply do not have that strength."
Reagan: "Why did the Soviets do this, don't they worry about war."
"And what happened to the German scientists, how did they get involved again."
U.S. Ambassador: "James Carnegie was in the red light district when the incident happened, and he escaped."
"According to him, the US National Steel Corporation's delegation to Argentina was directly under the command of Morgan. He was just a puppet. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it should be in line with the actual situation."
"A few Argentines of German descent came over, and James Carnegie knew it too. But others said they were Morgan family intelligence officers, so they didn't continue to ask. Even if it was useless, they would only obey the Morgan family."
"At present, Argentina has promised to try to catch the murderer, but the effect will not be very big. At the same time, Argentina also agreed that the United States will send people to investigate, and they will cooperate fully."
After the matter was clearly understood, William - Joseph - Casey was once again invited to the White House by Reagan.
Since taking office, William - Joseph - Casey has come to the White House the number of times; it is definitely the most existence of any CIA director. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. He often came to show that Reagan needed him, but it also exposed the problems of the United States from another aspect.
Reagan was not polite. The CIA director, still trustworthy, said directly: "Is there any big problem in Argentina?"
The CIA also has a lot of intelligence officers in Argentina, so of course they have to report to the country for such an unusual move.
William - Joseph - Casey: "There is no specific information, but Argentina has entered a state of emergency. The hotel where the National Steel Corporation stayed was surrounded by military police. Obviously there was a problem, and I have ordered Argentine intelligence personnel. Do a detailed investigation."
Reagan's answer is quite satisfactory, at least it shows that the director of the CIA is working seriously.
Reagan: "Send a competent person to go to Argentina; the inspectors of the National Steel Corporation, except for James Carnegie and bodyguards, have all been killed. That is to say, more than 90 Americans have died. In Argentina, the public does not yet know the seriousness of the matter, and I hope that a reasonable explanation will be given before the public knows."
Then Reagan told William Joseph Casey what the U.S. ambassador had introduced; after all, they were the experts, and they were bound to find some clues.
Hearing Reagan finish speaking, William Joseph Casey said very angrily: "Old Morgan is really confused, are Argentine German scientists and engineers easy to move!"
"Before we had an opinion with the Soviet Union on Argentine and German scientists and engineers, and no one could send someone to recruit them. This is a matter of principle, not only to guard against each other, but also to give East and West Germany an explanation."
"The Germans are very united. If there is too much movement, East Germany and West Germany will definitely not agree. No one dares to ignore the strategic core areas."
"The Morgan family is doing this to challenge the bottom line of the Soviets. It's strange if they don't retaliate."
