Chapter 974: US trap

Guantanamo is a province of Cuba, located in the southeastern part of Cuba, with the capital of Guantanamo.
However, in most people's perception, there represents a US base and a US prison.
This notorious prison faces the sea on three sides, one side is heavily guarded, and there is a natural barrier formed by cacti and bushes. There is almost no possibility of prisoners escape or be invaded by outsiders.
In this hot and humid prison, there are more than 600 people from more than 40 countries detained as "terrorists" by the U.S. government. The U.S. regards them as "illegal combatants", so they are not prisoners of war, so they are not. Enjoy any rights under the Geneva Conventions. The people detained here will neither be prosecuted nor released by the United States. Even the list of detainees in this prison is classified as confidential and cannot be accurately known to the outside world. Therefore, these people will never be known. They will be tried, so they will not be sentenced to be "innocent" or "guilty". Here, they have only one common identity: a prisoner; if you have to add a time limit to this identity, then, forever.
Although not far from this prison is a paradise Caribbean beach, the prisoners here have never seen its azure water. All they can see every day is the dense barbed wire fence and the detention. The leather boots of American soldiers who manage them.
Guantanamo prison exists above this blue star, a real place outside the law.
Tan Zhenhua mentioned this prison, and Tom Dile's face instantly turned pale. He knew that the young man from China in front of him was really angry.
This is really a chore, he thought, unfortunately, only the person who is most familiar with this young Chinese man is the most suitable person for this responsibility.
"No, Eric, it's not like that!" He explained: "No one will try to do that, I promise, I actually came here to communicate with you a solution that is beneficial to everyone."
"Huh?"
Tan Zhenhua raised his eyebrows and snorted, but the expression on his face was still frosty.
"Eric, someone has made a few good suggestions for you to choose, but in my opinion, this one should be the best."
While talking, he took out a form from his arms and handed it to Tan Zhenhua: "Look, they have arranged everything for you. As long as you fill it out, nothing will change. Cisco Company, MIPS company, matrix laboratory, everything."
Tan Zhenhua took the form, opened it, and saw "N-400" clearly printed on the first line of the form.
"This is an application form to become a U.S. citizen." Tom Dile explained: "According to the standard process, you originally needed to apply for a green card first, and after a certain number of years, you could be allowed to apply for U.S. citizenship. However, given your For your social influence and outstanding contributions to the U.S. economy and technology industry, you are included in the list of special persons. You can directly apply for U.S. citizenship without going through the green card process, and you will definitely be approved."
Tan Zhenhua raised his eyebrows without making a sound. He gently put the form aside, and after a moment of thought, he asked softly: "So, what if I don't want to give up Chinese nationality for the time being?"
"Eric, why? As far as I know, there are a lot of Chinese students studying abroad who are willing to pay a great price for a green card residence permit, not to mention American nationality..."
Tan Zhenhua interrupted his words directly: "Tom, everyone has the freedom to choose their own path and lifestyle, right? Isn't this the spirit advocated by the United States?"
Tom Dylay closed his mouth helplessly, thought for a while, and a little unwilling, couldn't help but speak again: "Eric, can't you think about it again..."
"Mr. Dile, I think I've made it very clear." Tan Zhenhua interrupted him again slightly rudely, "At present, I don't want to consider my nationality for the time being. In my opinion, this is not a discussion now. The timing of the matter, Mr. Dilei, do you have any other suggestions?"
Tom Dyley shrugged helplessly again: "Well Eric, maybe you have your reasons, then, I'm afraid this is the most suitable suggestion. Eric, you have to give up your position at Cisco A controlling stake in the company, or selling all router patents it owns to a specific organization."
It's still like this!
At this moment, Tan Zhenhua first thought of not how to face this problem, but an unrelated Gaul and what happened to him.
This person is named Frederic Pieruzzi, who was once the global head of the boiler department of Alstom Group, a famous high-tech company in Gaul.
Obviously, he originally had an enviable job, flying around the world every day, holding high salaries, options and dividends, the so-called "golden collar" that everyone envy.
But all this came to an abrupt end on April 14, 2013.
That day, according to the originally planned itinerary, he was supposed to go to the United States to discuss an important business, but when he arrived at New York's Kennedy International Airport and stepped off the plane, he was greeted not by the smiling faces of business partners, but by bright faces. Handcuffs-He was arrested by FBI agents.
Immediately afterwards, the U.S. Ministry of Justice conducted a long interrogation of him and tried to persuade him to be a so-called "stain witness" to prove that Alstom was involved in commercial bribery in multiple international bidding cases. After being rejected by him, he adopted a more indiscriminate but very effective method-using massive files to drag down the parties.
In the U.S., the cost of these steps must be paid by the defendant for reviewing files, reviewing the case, and finding testimony in favor of the defendant. Therefore, bombardment with massive amounts of documents, such as the prosecutor’s submission of millions of documents, may overwhelm most of the defendants, because it takes a lot of time for lawyers to read these documents, and attorney fees are prohibitively expensive.
Although Pieruzzi is an executive, he is still just a part-time job after all. Such a high cost is not something he can personally bear. So in the end, the Americans won, and Alstom was fined 772 million US dollars. Its boiler and power business were eventually acquired by the main competitor in the industry-General Electric of the United States. It was once proud of the Gauls. The business giant that once spanned the global power, energy and rail transit industries was successfully "dismembered" by the Americans and the essence of it was put into his own pocket.
When Alstom was partly acquired by General Electric in 2014, there was a lot of noise. Tan Zhenhua, who loves to watch the excitement on the Internet, of course also knew it, but he was reborn in 2017. I don’t know the end of this incident. Aftermath and some episodes-Pieruzzi did not get out of prison until September 2018 to regain his freedom. After that, he wrote a famous economics book "The American Trap".
This is a thick book, but throughout the whole text, there are actually two central meanings: first, arrogant Americans feel that they can use their own country’s laws to manage and require the world to obey them; second, for their own sake Interests, American capitalists and politicians can trample on all human order, dignity and morality.
This book was officially published in early 2019 and soon caused a sensation and widespread reading all over the world. Of course, the Chinese version was translated and launched as quickly as possible. An elderly Chinese man bought one and put it in his office. At that time, the company founded by the old man was using his own strength to resist the attack on his company launched by the most powerful developed country in the world with the force of the whole country, and even declared the country to enter the
emergency
State", the country’s main leaders even threaten or persuade the country not to use the company’s equipment every time they visit a country, and their behavior is simply insane.
A private company can actually make the U.S. declare the country into a "state of emergency." This kind of achievement can hardly be said that there will be no one to come, but there is no one in the past.
This old man, this company, is proud of it alone.
What's more, the daughter of the old man in a third country suffered almost the same experience as Pieruzzi. The Americans arbitrarily accused that the daughter of the old man in a third country violated the laws of the United States and demanded that the third country treat it. He was arrested and requested to be extradited to the United States. After this third country, which is the only American leader, faithfully implemented the first order of his American master, he dared not execute his second order and had to use the so-called The
legal procedures
of the People’s Republic of China will decide whether to
extradite
or not.
This is certainly not the conscience discovery of this third country or the outbreak of the "legal spirit", but because he found himself in an extremely passive position. On the one hand, this arrest clearly violated his own country's laws and advertised the so-called "legal spirit". "The double-faced face was completely exposed to the world. On the other hand, he plunged himself into the wrestling field between Huami and Huami, and he was not pleased on both sides and bound himself.
Tan Zhenhua thought of this person and this incident, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "This is the trick to go back and forth. There is no creativity at all. Are you not annoying?"
