Jacob Bonilla couldn't help but frown at this. How could the economic development of Brazil be the credit of the Americans? Noticing the inquiring look in Cilio Recchi's eyes, he understood that the other party was testing his attitude towards the United States.
And this may be the reason why the other party asked him to meet. Although he didn't understand why he wanted to test his attitude towards the United States, he also understood that it was not appropriate for him to think and weigh too much on this issue, otherwise it would likely make the other party feel that his words were not true.
Therefore, he did not have time to think about what kind of impact his attitude would have on himself, and he spoke directly:
"Isn't this nonsense? Brazil's economic development is the result of our own hard work. Although the Americans have some support for us, we cannot attribute the credit for our economic development to the Americans!"
In fact, from the frown on Jacob Bonilla's face after hearing what he said, Sirio Reci had already made his own judgment about his attitude.
After hearing what he blurted out, he understood it in his heart, but as an intelligence officer, he certainly couldn't let the other party see what he was thinking, so he still spoke slowly with an unchanged expression:
"But many people believe that it is the large amount of U.S. investment in Brazil and the purchase of a large amount of materials and raw materials that have promoted our economic prosperity. Once the Americans become alienated from us, Brazil may soon be reduced to its original state."
Jacob Bonilla was also very annoyed when he heard this, but he knew that such voices did exist in society today, especially among those who had been to the United States and seen the colorful world there. After returning, they praised the United States to the sky, saying it was a paradise on earth.
But he didn't want to listen to this. In his opinion, no matter what Brazil was like, it was still his own country. There was no reason for him to regard the United States as his own father just because he had eaten two American meals there.
...
...
“Bullshit, the Americans invest in Brazil because they can make enough money from us. If there is no money to be made, will they come here to do good deeds?
As for purchasing large quantities of materials and raw materials, that is even more of a pure business. After they buy them back, they will process them into industrial products and then sell them back to Brazil to earn even higher profits.
Moreover, if you really want to calculate, the scale of American investment in Brazil is not as much as that of the Chinese businessman Fang family in Sao Paulo! Look at the automobile factory invested by the Fang family, which directly boosted the entire Brazilian machinery manufacturing industry.
Fang's Brazilian Development Bank fully supports the development of our Brazilian national capital, providing low-interest loans and technical support to national capital, which has enabled our Brazilian national capital to develop rapidly.
Instead of being grateful to those American capitalists who eat people without leaving any bones, they should be grateful to the Chinese entrepreneurs who have been working quietly in Brazil!"
Cirio Reci obviously did not expect that Jacob Bonilla would suddenly mention the Fang family, which instantly raised his impression of this guy to several levels.
The expression on his face also became lively involuntarily. Seeing that the other party seemed to be indignant, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"It can be seen that Mr. Bonilla is a patriotic prosecutor, and even more rare is that he has a clear understanding of the situation in Brazil. Then I feel relieved. I asked you to come here today because I have an important matter and I want to use Mr. Bonilla's help.
This matter concerns the future of Brazil. I wonder if Mr. Bonilla is willing to make sacrifices for the country."
Jacob Bonilla did not expect that after his venting criticism, the other party actually gave up the temptation and started to discuss the purpose of today with him directly.
When it comes to patriotism, he absolutely does not want to fall behind. But the other party is now directly asking him to make sacrifices for the country, which makes him a little uneasy.
It's not that he is unwilling to make sacrifices for the country. Unlike many Brazilian serfs living at the bottom of society, he has received a good education and knows what the country is and how to be patriotic.
But at the same time, he also knew what kind of people many government officials were, and he was not willing to be fooled by them and risk his life to gain credit for others.
"But I'm just an ordinary prosecutor! You said I can send those criminals to prison and maintain the dignity of the law and social stability. I can do it.
It’s not that I’m unwilling to make sacrifices for the future of Brazil, but I’m afraid I’m not up to the task of such a big thing!”
Hearing this, Syrio Regis was not angry, and nodded indifferently:
"I understand Mr. Bonilla's concerns. If I hadn't had to, I wouldn't have found him. Now that we've come to this point, I won't hide it from you anymore."
After saying this, he picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip, as if he was organizing his words.
Seeing this, Jacob Bonilla on the opposite side immediately realized that once the topic was brought up, he would have no room to back down. He wanted to ask Sirio Reci to stop talking directly. He didn't want to get involved no matter what the matter was.
But after thinking about it, he hesitated. After all, he knew very well that matters that required the mobilization of intelligence personnel must be matters related to national security. If he really refused, would it have any negative impact on Brazil's national security?
If this was true, he couldn't get over it in his heart, so he was in a dilemma for a moment.
The reason why Cirio Recci drank tea at this time was actually to wait for Jacopo Bonilla's reaction. He knew very well that the other party was a prosecutor, and if he forced others to participate in his task, it would probably backfire. It would be better to let the other party take the initiative to participate so that he could do things with all his heart.
Therefore, he deliberately drank tea at this time to give the other party a chance to choose. If the other party chose not to listen to what he had to say, he would just consider that his trip today was in vain.
But if the other party doesn't stop what you say, then he or she will have to get involved.
After he finished the tea in his cup, he poured himself another cup. Jacob Bonilla didn't say anything, so he didn't hesitate any more.
"We have received intelligence that the CIA and the U.S. Department of Justice are planning to organize outstanding Brazilian prosecutors to study in the United States.
We would like to send Mr. Bonilla to this training class, but I wonder if he is willing."
Although Cirio Recchi seemed to be seeking Jacob Bonilla's opinion, and even the smile on his face did not change at all, Jacob Bonilla could feel that he could not refuse the other party's request at all, otherwise he might not be able to leave the office building.
Because just now, Cirio Regis had said that they had received intelligence, so where did this intelligence come from? This was a very important question. If I hadn't heard of this intelligence, it would be fine. Now that I knew it, it wouldn't be so easy to get away.
Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful. But it was too late to regret now. After thinking carefully for a while, he still said in confusion:
"There is nothing wrong with organizing prosecutors to go to the United States to learn about the advanced experience of the American judicial system! Why did it attract the attention of your intelligence agency?"
Seeing that Jacob Bonilla did not refuse, but chose to continue to discuss the issue in depth, Cirio Recchi couldn't help but smile, and looked at him meaningfully before saying:
"I think Mr. Bonilla must not have heard clearly what I just said. I was talking about the study organized by the CIA and the U.S. Department of Justice. I think Mr. Bonilla must know what the CIA is!"
Hearing this, Jacob Bonilla, who was a little puzzled just now, couldn't help but stare at Syrio Regis with disbelief and said:
"Shit! What do these Americans want to do? Aren't we allies?"
Hearing what Jacopo Bonilla said, Cirio Recchi smiled, but his eyes gradually became gloomy.
"Haha... We regard Americans as allies, but Americans don't just regard us as allies. In the eyes of Americans, we are their little brothers following behind them. When we are obedient, they will naturally reward us with food.
But ever since we restored diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, the Americans have begun to distrust us. Now that we have taken the initiative to contact China, which just defeated them, it has touched their sensitive nerves.
So, naturally, they have to find a way to get us back into their hands.”
Now Jacob Bonilla finally understood why Cirio Recchi had tried to test his opinion on the United States. It turned out that this time they were going to deal with the United States. This immediately made him fall into unprecedented regret. Why did he wait for him to make it clear?
Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to pretend that he hadn't heard it now. He could only look at Syrio Reci with some grievance.
But Syrio Reci met his gaze, but simply smiled, picked up the teacup on the table, gestured to him gently, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Seeing this, Jacob Bonilla knew that he had no way out. He could only pick up the tea in front of him and drink it in one gulp, and then began to think seriously about what the other party said.
But the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and he couldn't help but say to Syrio Regis:
"We in Brazil are allies of them, not their vassals. Why do they interfere in our foreign policy? We are willing to establish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and have contact with China. It is our freedom. Why do they interfere?"
Hearing Jacob Bonilla's complaint, Cirio Recchi shrugged helplessly and said:
"This is just our own idea. In the minds of Americans, we are not qualified to be their equal allies. The only ally that can truly gain their recognition is probably Britain!
But even so, look at how they treated Britain, and in the years after World War II, look at how many British colonies were left, and how these colonies became independent.
Do you think the British really want these colonies to be independent?"
Jacobo Bonilla is a smart man, otherwise he would not have become a prosecutor in Brazil, which has the strictest academic requirements. However, he was originally exposed to some legal content and did not have a deep study of the relations between countries.
Now after listening to what Syrio Reci said, he suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened. It turned out that the real world was like this, and the relationship between countries was so complicated.
Originally, he might not have been averse to the United States, after all, they were allies. But now, after listening to what Cirio Recci said, his attitude towards the United States has changed greatly, and his vigilance against the United States has been adjusted to the highest level.
But after thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure out the Americans' purpose this time, and couldn't help asking again:
"If the Americans want to regain control of Brazil, what does it have to do with us prosecutors? Why should they organize us to study with them?"
Now, regarding Jacob Bonilla's question, Cirio Recchi naturally would not hide anything. He spoke directly without hesitation:
"According to the intelligence we have, they want to create a large number of pro-American prosecutors, and then promote legal reforms in Brazil, so that Brazilian prosecutors can become their tools to influence Brazilian politics."
Jacob Bonilla had very little experience with these twists and turns, and for a moment he couldn't figure out the key points, so he could only look at Sirio Recci in confusion, wanting him to be more specific.
In Syrio Reci's opinion, he had made it very clear, but he didn't expect that this guy hadn't figured it out yet. He looked at him worriedly, and he was even a little worried whether he had made the right choice.
However, since the other party has already participated, I have no choice but to help him clear up his doubts.
"To be more specific, no matter who it is, as long as they are out of their control, they can launch an investigation against this person through pro-American prosecutors, and then send this person to prison and replace him with an obedient person."
Now Jacob Bonilla understood the Americans' plan. Although Cilio Recchi did not say it explicitly, he knew that this plan was definitely aimed at the senior officials of the Brazilian government, including the President of Brazil.
For a prosecutor, it would be a brilliant achievement if he could launch an investigation into the president. He believed that no prosecutor could refuse such an offer, not even himself.
Therefore, he felt both hope and a chill in his heart. If the Americans succeeded, the Brazilian government might really be controlled by the Americans.
After all, if even the president elected by the citizens of a country can be easily sent to prison by prosecutors, then the power of the country is almost no longer in the hands of the people. The so-called democratic election has become a big joke.
This would be a huge disaster for the whole of Brazil.
If the president really committed an unforgivable crime and was sent to prison by prosecutors, he could accept it. But if the president was sent to prison for no reason other than that it was not in the interests of the American people, he would never accept it.
After thinking carefully for a while, he couldn't help but raise his own question:
"The prosecutors in the United States don't have such rights, so why should our Brazilian prosecutors go to them to learn such things?"
