Chapter 794 Wave
After returning to Los Angeles from Silicon Valley, Amanda Hearst's mood should have calmed down in the past two days, and finally let Barron step into her manor there again.
"Baby, have you noticed that little William is becoming more and more like me..."
Barron held their son and teased him, smiling and said to Amanda.
In response, Amanda said mercilessly:
"Then I will educate him well, and hope that he will not be as fickle as you when he grows up!"
Well, it seems that she is still a little angry...
But being able to let him in the manor means that Amanda's attitude has loosened up - I don't know if it is the effect of Lydia's assistance.
Lydia secretly called Barron on the day he arrived in Silicon Valley and told him that she would persuade Amanda well...
Comparatively, Lydia, Amanda's cousin, is more obedient.
After Barron spent some energy and "comforted" Amanda well, it was time for him to return to Australia.
Of course, before returning, he must accompany Ivanta again.
The Devonshire took off from Los Angeles and stayed in Chicago, Illinois for two more days. The team led by Ivanta was negotiating with them about the acquisition at the Motorola Mobility headquarters nearby.
Ivanta was still very ambitious, and the acquisition of Motorola Mobility was destined to be a difficult matter.
This was not to say that it was too difficult to buy the company, but mainly after the acquisition was completed...
Because they would need to split Motorola Mobility at that time, and its patents and some hardware technologies would belong to Android; and the broadband and set-top box businesses would also be sold separately.
The remaining Motorola mobile phone business would be sold to the outside world or retained for separate operation...
Therefore, even if the negotiation could eventually reach an acquisition agreement for Motorola Mobility and finally complete these splits, it would probably take several months or even more than a year.
…
"The situation in Tunisia is getting bigger and bigger. According to the information we have received, the situation has a tendency to spread to other Arab countries. Egypt is likely to become the next target..."
After Barron returned to Grace Lavender Manor, Nigel Inkster, Barron's intelligence consultant who came from London and the manager of his intelligence system, met with him here.
"It seems that the CIA has been busy again recently..."
Barron said with a smile:
"I believe our MI6 has also played a lot of roles in it."
Nigel didn't say anything about his words, but his expression said it all.
Alex Young, the current director of the British MI6, has a close relationship with Nigel. Obviously, he has confirmed some relevant news from him.
What they are talking about is the event that was later called the "Arab Spring". To be precise, now is the initial period of this event.
Barron was deeply impressed by the Arab Spring in his previous life, but he only regarded it as a news event at the time, but his current status and position can be exposed to more inside stories that are unknown to ordinary people.
The so-called Arab Spring is a wave of revolutions in some Arab countries, but the first wave of this wave, that is, the fuse that ignited this wave, was somewhat accidental.
This fuse occurred in Tunisia at the end of last year.
On December 17, 2010, in a small town in Tunisia, a vendor named Mohamed Bouaj, after his stall and goods were confiscated by the local police, finally set himself on fire to protest against unfair treatment.
His suicide aroused the sympathy and indignation of the Tunisian people, who took to the streets and demanded the government to step down - this was the famous *****, and it was also the beginning of the Arab Spring.
From the perspective of others, ***** soon succeeded. On January 14 this year, Tunisian President Ben Ali was forced to step down and flee to Saudi Arabia.
This news caused a sensation in the Arab world, and people in many countries also had the idea of emulating the Tunisian people.
However, Barron knew that if ***** was accidental at the beginning, then later, it was obvious that various forces inside and outside it had participated.
How could the CIA be absent from this?
In fact, the CIA has never stopped its actions in Arab countries. Now, taking advantage of the Tunisian incident, it has begun to instigate changes in some Arab countries.
Next, the opposition elements in countries including Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Syria, etc. will be instigated by the CIA...
"Just yesterday, Egypt broke out in protests against President Mubarak... The protesters occupied Tahrir Square in Cairo and demanded that Mubarak step down."
"Egypt?"
Barron looked at Nigel and said:
"Although according to the document you gave me, the CIA is involved in this activity in Egypt, I am afraid this will not be their main goal..."
He clicked on the map in the document, and Nigel looked at the place where Barron pointed, and his pupils shrank slightly:
"You mean..."
"Yes, Britain itself has a certain influence in Egypt, and Mubarak has always been seen as "pro-American". This time, the CIA can only say that the Egyptian incident is going with the flow. I'm afraid they will make this place their main target next, and they may even personally intervene again..."
The place Barron was referring to was Libya in North Africa.
He knew that I'm afraid that Colonel Kamagra would start the countdown like Saddam.
However, no matter what happens in these countries, it won't matter much to Barron now. It's just that Nigel, as his intelligence director, needs to consider the impact of such emergencies on Barron's industry.
"By the way, how is Kolo?"
"Thomas has already started to build momentum, but after we warned him last time, he is now more measured and will not have much impact on Kolo's development."
Nigel was talking about Thomas Kaboré, the leader of the Kolo Socialist Party.
After the establishment of the new Kolo government, Jammeh Bongo, who formed the Kolo People's Party, became the first president of the new Kolo government and was re-elected.
However, there is only less than a year and a half left in Jammeh Bongo's term. In April or May next year, Kolo will hold another general election.
Jammeh Bongo will not participate in the next election, and the Kolo People's Party will nominate a new candidate...
Thomas Kaboré, Jammeh Bongo's biggest competitor in these two elections, will have his last chance next year.
