Chapter 1101: It takes only one person to catch a pers

Since he didn't want to let go of the robbers who parachuted into the sea, Li Changheng ordered not only two P51 fighter jets with external fuel tanks to take off and rushed to meet the DEA patrol aircraft hovering on the sea.

And DEA's maritime patrol ships set off, and even after Li Changheng thought about it, he 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 at sea rushed towards the coordinates given by the DEA patrol plane.

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

The first to arrive, of course, are two P51 Mustang propeller fighter jets with a top speed of 960 kilometers per hour. With external fuel tanks, the P51 has a combat radius of more than 1,200 kilometers.

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

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

The only trouble is that it is still night, at least four hours before dawn.

But P51 and the air patrol aircraft of the "Reading" Bureau 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 rush 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 insufficient, it can dock on the cruiser that is rushing over and fill up the fuel again. Whether it is continuing to search at sea or flying back to New York, there is no problem.

The subsequent development was as Li Changheng expected, and there was indeed a cargo ship approaching the designated sea area at sea.

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

The reason is simple, if the 4 robbers who jump into the sea are not given hope, they will definitely throw the bond into the sea.

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

But Li Changheng and Citi's shareholders and management all know that the money does not actually belong to Citi.

Not only can it not be distributed to shareholders, but once it is used, it will definitely be punished by regulators for a large amount of money. The most important thing is that the blow to bank credit is far more important than money.

But if those bonds were recovered, Citigroup's stock price would have risen by far more than $600 million.

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

Li Changheng clearly knew that the sudden increase of more than one billion US dollars in funds between Citi and Columbia City Bank was absolutely inseparable from the flour business, but he always thought that he didn't know, and it was for profit.

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

One is that he has never agreed to take over as chairman of the board of directors, the reason is to put the blame on others when something really happens.

The second is that this kind of thing is not just done by Citi. Several banks such as Morgan Stanley, like Citi, used a small Texas bank as a cover to indirectly become a shareholder of Columbia City Bank. They are also doing the same.

It's really bad luck. If other banks dare to get in the way, everyone will be unlucky together.

Even between banks such as Citi and Morgan Stanley, there have already been inflows and outflows of funds between city banks.

Checking the Citi family will definitely affect banks such as Morgan Stanley. Of course, in turn, if someone checks Morgan Stanley, Citi will have to cover for them.

With this level of interest entanglement, if something goes wrong, other banks have to use political power to suppress the matter.

This is probably between the US consortium, you have me, I have you in the real embodiment.

Just like Li Changheng, he is Citi's largest private shareholder, and he is also a shareholder of US float and a major shareholder of the media group.

When it comes to the US float and the media group, Li Changheng is basically impossible to ignore.

And Citi is really in trouble. Unless Morgan Stanley and Rockefeller have the opportunity to swallow Citi, at other times, as Citi shareholders, they cannot really care about their shares in Citi.

-----

What surprised Li Changheng was that the ship's registration place was actually East Germany, and the ship's location was already on the high seas.

If DEA agents or the U.S. Navy forcibly aboard the ship, that would be a huge problem.

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

Anyway, on the high seas, ships are indeed equivalent to the territory of other countries to a large extent, but the robbers in the sea, as long as Li Changheng is determined to shoot like this, they will shoot like this.

Moreover, the responsibility can also be shifted to the U.S. government.

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

No, this may not be the black pot, 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, if Citi catches up with robbers and bonds, they will also support Citi and Benjamin in this matter.

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

Ordinary people in the United States certainly do not want to see that the robbers are at large, and their country's money is taken away by polar bears.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng did not hesitate to call Randall Hirst first, as well as several other big families with good relationships.

With the support of the media and consortium, and the efforts of Citigroup's forces, tomorrow's reports will definitely be on Citi's side.

Then indirectly helped Benjamin Arthur.

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

As long as you don't get on the boat to rob people~lightnovelpub.net~ 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' 'gong' will meet tomorrow morning Strong support for the DEA and the U.S. Navy.

The only pity was 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 shows up and speaks, it will definitely be better than other people in the island country who stand up to denounce the robbers and East Germany.

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

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

The Aoki Group and the island country will definitely be grateful for such a large sum of money. As for whether it is sincere, the media does not care, and ordinary people do not care.

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