Chapter 1101 It's Just a Matter of Arresting Someone

Since he didn't want to let go of the robbers who parachuted and landed in the sea, Li Changheng ordered not only two P51 fighter jets with external fuel tanks to take off, but also rushed to join the DEA patrol plane hovering over the sea.

Also, the DEA's maritime patrol ships set off. After thinking about it, Li Changheng called the New York Naval Base, and the four fastest offshore speedboats set off immediately.

Even a U.S. Navy cruiser that was already swimming quickly at sea rushed towards the coordinates given by the DEA patrol plane.

Immediately afterwards, two Sea King helicopters with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers took off and rushed over with 8 heavily armed soldiers.

Of course, the first to arrive are two P51 Mustang propeller fighter jets with a top speed of 960 kilometers per hour. With the external fuel tank, the combat radius of the P51 exceeds 1,200 kilometers.

If you hover in the air at a constant speed, there is no problem at all if you persist for 3 or 4 hours.

And 3 or 4 hours are enough for offshore patrol boats to reach the predetermined sea area and search for the four robbers who jumped into the sea.

The only trouble is that it is still night, and it will be at least 4 hours before dawn.

But the P51 and the air patrol planes of the Bureau of Interdiction only need to guard against ships that suddenly appear in the target sea area.

Then the Sea King helicopter with a maximum speed of 279 kilometers per hour can be rushed over in only one and a half hours.

At that time, the helicopter does not need to fly back to New York. When the fuel is low, it can dock on the cruiser that is rushing over and fill up the fuel again. Whether it is to continue to search at sea or fly back to New York, it will be fine.

Then things developed as Li Changheng expected, and there was indeed a cargo ship approaching the designated sea area.

The three patrol planes ordered by Li Changheng did not prevent the cargo ship from rescuing people.

The reason is simple, if you don't give hope to the four jumping robbers, they will definitely throw the bonds into the sea.

For Citigroup, this can only be regarded as good or bad. After all, when the US$600 million bond matures, no one will come to ask for interest and principal. This 600 million is equivalent to giving Citigroup for nothing.

But Li Changheng and the shareholders and management of Citigroup know that the money does not actually belong to Citigroup.

Not only can it not be distributed to shareholders, but once it is used and cannot be checked, it will definitely be fined a large amount of money by the regulatory agency. The most important thing is that the blow to the bank's credit is far more important than money.

But if those bonds are retrieved, the rise in Citigroup's stock price alone will definitely exceed 600 million US dollars.

This is the real interest that belongs to the shareholders. Of course, if Citi really wants to black out, there are many ways to do it.

Li Changheng clearly knew that the sudden surge of more than one billion U.S. dollars in capital transactions between Citigroup and Columbia City Bank was definitely related to the flour merchants, but he kept pretending that he didn't know about it, and the reason was for profit.

However, Li Changheng is not worried that the matter will be exposed and it will affect him.

One is that he has always refused to take over as the chairman of the board of directors, the reason is to shift the responsibility to others when something really happens.

The second is that this kind of thing is not only done by Citigroup. Morgan Stanley and other banks, like Citigroup, used a small bank in Texas as a cover and indirectly became a shareholder of Columbia City Bank. They are also doing the same.

It's really unlucky, if other banks dare to make trouble, then everyone will be unlucky together.

Even between banks such as Citigroup and Morgan Stanley, funds have already flowed in and out of each other in terms of capital exchanges in city banks.

The investigation of Citigroup's family will definitely affect banks such as Morgan Stanley. Of course, if someone investigates Morgan Stanley in turn, Citigroup will have to cover them.

With this layer of interest entanglement, if something happens, other banks will have to use political power to suppress the matter.

This is probably the true manifestation of the fact that among the American consortia, there is me in you, and you in me.

Just like Li Changheng, he is the largest private shareholder of Citigroup, a shareholder of Mobil, and a major shareholder of the media group.

When it comes to Meifu and the media group, it is basically impossible for Li Changheng to stand still.

But if there is a real problem with Citigroup, unless Morgan Stanley and Rockefeller have the opportunity to swallow Citigroup, otherwise, as shareholders of Citigroup, they will not really care about their shares in Citigroup at other times.

But what surprised Li Changheng was that the place of registration of that ship was actually East Germany, and the location of the ship was already on the high seas.

If DEA agents or the US Navy forcibly boarded the ship, it would be a big trouble.

Hearing the news, Li Changheng cursed inwardly, gritted his teeth, and ordered the fighter jets, helicopters, and offshore patrol boats to be ready to kill the four robbers as soon as they received the order.

Anyway, on the high seas, ships are largely equivalent to the territory of other countries, but the robbers in the sea, as long as Li Changheng is determined to shoot and kill like this, he can shoot and kill like this.

Moreover, the responsibility can also be thrown to the US government.

Even Li Changheng believes that Benjamin Arthur, who is facing the election at the end of the year, should be willing to take the blame.

No, this may not be a scapegoat, but the credit goes to Benjamin Arthur.

First of all, most of the media in the United States are definitely willing to support Benjamin to be tough on polar bears.

Then whether it is banks such as Morgan Stanley or politicians belonging to various forces, when Citigroup catches up with the robbers and bonds, they will also support Citigroup and Benjamin in this matter.

Not to mention that the robbers were still planning and carrying out an incident in Manhattan that killed two people and killed one or two hundred people.

Ordinary people in the United States certainly don't want to see robbers get away with it, and polar bears rob their country's money.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng called Randall Hurst and several other big families with good relations without hesitation.

With the support of the media and the consortium, coupled with the efforts of Citigroup's affiliated forces, tomorrow's report will definitely stand on Citigroup's side.

Then indirectly helped Benjamin Arthur.

After listening to Li Changheng's plan on the phone, Benjamin only discussed with his staff for 20 minutes, and quickly agreed to Li Changheng's plan.

As long as you don't board the ship to snatch people, whether it's fighter jets firing in the air, directly killing the four robbers in the sea, or using means to force the East German cargo ship to leave, the 'White Palace' will strongly support the DEA and the United States tomorrow morning. navy.

The only pity is that Kenichi Aoki, the president of the Aoki Group, was shot and killed by the robber leader Hans Gruber early in the morning.

Otherwise, if this guy showed up to speak out, it would definitely be more effective than other people in the island country to stand up and denounce the robbers and East Germany.

And Li Changheng's move to take back the bonds will 100% set off a wave of support and admiration for him in island countries and other capitalist countries.

This is a full 600 million U.S. dollars. Calculated according to the price of gold, gold has been hovering between 130 and 160 in the past two years. Even if it is calculated at 160 U.S. dollars, the 600 million at this time will definitely exceed 5 billion U.S. dollars after the new millennium.

If such a large sum is recovered, the Aoki Group and the island country will definitely be grateful. As for whether it is true or not, the media doesn't care, and ordinary people don't care.

And Li Changheng's request for the island country is that the islanders flock to the cinema and watch the movie Roman Holiday.
