his defeat is also france's defeat. the c.e.o. and. as patrick cronin. the company's sold to the u.s. without consulting the french data. in a deal that was sealed in circumstances worthy of a spy novel and far from prying eyes and public opinion. the sale deals a terrible blow to french industry and its energy independence today this affair of state is shrouded in a deafening silence. alstom story begins in the city of bell thought this is where the company was born in eight hundred seventy two and since then it has literally shaped to the region initially gold as a c.m. the alsatian corporation of mechanical engineering the company adopted the name alstom in one nine hundred twenty eight when it merged with the company francaise

heavy support from his american partner general electric together they launch a media counter offensive upon us what if we don't use their i phone to do not obey is that they did. that's done badly call it means of course not demagogue along book six they made it easy on the exception as well as be visionary i really think if they e-mailed good sources and also all of us all caught on to my scrooge just all along saying oh we're on the trolley out there on the yellow dog out say israel are always what you're going to face your heart's forsaken jerusalem building where she had been i was like you seriously don't they come to love point to point to this and he. says when he said are you that still me get my place means that are you that stone in will meet you said and then you are no man to burke seems helpless against the general electric machine backed by major banks law firms and communications specialists the fight already seems to be lost on the programs that

were. the fourteen months fourteen months in a foreign prison fourteen months of never seeing a familiar face. bend and by all still management ignored by patrick crone and forgotten by his country. fourteen months of wondering when it will all end. how did one hundred ranking alstom executive lose everything overnight. why is he. these men who question him so insistently. want to confessions about his company do they want from him.

in twenty forty you know bloody revolution here to protect the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous. or is it. i mean you. really really i need you pulling me out of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty forty and. those who took. it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other. secure and prosperous and democratic . in twenty years and u.s. department of justice launches an extensive investigation and they suspect the

face to face meeting between the two men chronos temps above all he wants to sell for the company he hopes to free both and himself from the clutches of the american justice system therefore places a condition on the sale general a big trick. any fine for. the general electric c.e.o. accept and commits to the condition having killed two birds with one stone patrick . and its economic and legal difficulties are evaporating into the american sky perhaps the department of justice will even defer the payment of the five patrick crown this is the exact moment when irrevocably became america.
