Rebirth of England.

When Barron came to the United States this time, he had already arranged a private meeting with Obama.

What he told Jamie Damon and others was actually that he had discovered earlier that the CIA was monitoring him.

It was only in recent times that, in addition to Barron himself, his intelligence network also discovered signs that the United States was investigating some of the industries he controlled.

So this matter will also be mentioned in his meeting with Obama. Although the CIA and the FBI are managed by different departments, this is no longer the era when Edgar Hoover became the director of the FBI and the FBI is not controlled by the president.

Now, neither the CIA nor the FBI will easily go against the will of the President. Therefore, as someone who has a close relationship with Obama, Barron can at least restrain some of the actions of these departments by expressing his dissatisfaction with him.

It was also because of America's actions against Alstom in his previous life that made Barron alert.

He does not want to become a target of asset extraction by the United States using some "long-arm jurisdiction" provisions, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

For example, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which was cited as a law to sanction Alstom.

This law was first passed in 1977 and prohibits American companies from bribing any foreign companies, governments, and political parties.

Since it came into effect, the law has long been questioned by major American industry giants, who believed that it would put domestic companies at a disadvantage in the export market. Therefore, it was not vigorously implemented in the early stages.

In 1998, the U.S. Congress amended the law to give it extraterritorial effect and apply it to foreign companies as well.

As long as a company signs a cooperation agreement denominated in US dollars, payments occur on US territory, or emails are simply sent and stored through servers located in the United States, these are all considered "international trade tools" and the United States believes it has the right to file a lawsuit.

This made this legal provision a tool of America's long-arm jurisdiction, which the United States used to plunder property in the nearly two decades that followed. The largest companies in Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium and Britain were convicted of corruption, banking crimes or violations of sanctions. Hundreds of billions of dollars in fines went into the U.S. treasury, and French companies alone had been extorted more than $130 billion.

This bill then became a real gold mine for the U.S. Treasury Department.

Of course, apart from the United States, major Western countries have similar anti-corruption laws. Among them, the British Anti-Bribery Act is known as "the most stringent anti-corruption law in the world."

Moreover, the relevant laws of many countries were finally formulated under the impetus of the United States. As mentioned earlier, the original legal provisions were formulated for American companies conducting overseas business. This caused dissatisfaction among many large American companies, who believed that such strict restrictions on American companies would restrict these companies in some overseas businesses and make them lose their competitiveness.

Later on, the United States began to exert its influence and demanded that other countries introduce similar laws.

The only difference is that even if the law is the same, the final effect is different - because the United States is the only superpower, the relevant laws of other countries can only target their own companies, but the United States can make it a long-arm jurisdiction legal clause, targeting all companies in the world, and can implement judicial hegemony on a global scale.

Out of fear of this situation, Barron is extremely cautious about the companies he controls in areas that require "gray transactions". He absolutely does not allow them to be conducted through American branches or banks, giving the United States a handle for "jurisdiction".

This is also the significance of Barron's control of Colo. Now Colo's financial business can only reach Africa, but it can still provide him with a safe channel.

However, even so, Barron did not let down his guard. After all, with many practices of the United States, especially their CIA, they dare to do anything - because of the CIA's huge global network, even if they can receive more than 300 billion US dollars in funding each year, it is still not enough to maintain their overly large subordinate agencies. Therefore, in order to make extra money, they will even get involved in many illegal businesses, including but not limited to drug trafficking, human trafficking, and arms trade.

They even carried out these "operations" under the table without telling the American top brass.

Therefore, if the CIA really targeted him, Barron didn't think that he could just make sure they couldn't find any evidence against him. It was not like they had never done that kind of frame-up before, and they were very skilled at it.

Of course, given Barron's current identity and network of relationships, the CIA may not be able to deal with him easily. If Barron is really pushed into a corner, it is not impossible that the CIA director would commit suicide by shooting himself eight times in the back.

After all, if DeepState is angered, the president of the United States can have wild imaginations...

It's just that he doesn't want it to get to the point where both sides are doomed to fail. It would be best to resolve the "misunderstanding" between the two before things get worse.

Besides, in fact, Barron is not so desperate as to fight to the death with the CIA...

At the end of April this year, then-CIA Director Leon Panetta was appointed Secretary of Defense by Obama.

The person who took over his position was David Petraeus, who was no stranger to Barron. After all, he served as the supreme commander of the US military in Iraq from 2007 to 2008. Before becoming the director of the CIA, David Petraeus also served as the supreme commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.

It can be said that he also has many "business dealings" with the Protector Military Services Company.

What’s even more interesting is that in Barron’s previous life, David Petraeus only lasted a little over a year as the director of the CIA before he had to resign because he was exposed for having an extramarital affair…

Yes, David Petraeus's affair with Paula Broadwell did not escape his intelligence gathering...

Although he would not use this kind of thing easily, the premise is that both parties must maintain a friendly relationship...

I believe that David Petraeus can still make wise choices when it comes to his future.

But it is not without reason that David Petraeus was privately called "Dangerous David" and "Peach" by his mistress.

After all, when David was appointed as the director of the CIA, his mistress and his first wife both showed up at the scene and sat in the same row...
