The main reason why Shepard is eyeing Carlos Reid may be because of the island owned by the other party. Although the island is pitifully small, a one-kilometer-long airport runway occupies most of the island. But even so, Shepard was still unhappy.
"What level do you think you dare to occupy an island like me?"
The Shadow Company didn't even dare to occupy Comoros openly. They just stationed themselves on the Grand Comoros Island in Comoros through various economic means and other methods. In order not to irritate the Comoros government, Shepard did not deploy it at all. The combat troops there are only training camps, those who have newly joined the company, and external individuals who have purchased relevant business training.
But Carlos was much more arrogant than him. After leasing territory for his empire, he began major construction projects on the island. In order to facilitate the bombing of the United States, Carlos Red spent a lot of money to build a luxurious road on the island. runway, and even spent a lot of money to purchase a military radar and place it on the airport through unknown means.
In addition, he hired hundreds of mercenaries to patrol the island day and night, and there were also dozens of pilots for service, including even a professional pilot who came to work for Carlos because of salary issues.
In addition, Carlos Red also designated this island and nearby waters as a military restricted area. Anyone who trespasses will be attacked head-on by the Fourth Reich Wehrmacht.
Such an arrogant move was known to the United States early, but for some unknown reason, no one even cared, not even a question to the Bahamian government.
When everyone turned their attention to Pablo, Shepard had noticed the imperial head of state very early. Especially now, Colombia is not making good progress due to various problems, so why not find another way and change the target?
Shepard read a lot of documents overnight and made a detailed report, then slept with Parker in his arms until midnight, and then he sent the report to Morgan.
The Department of American Affairs has always been Morgan's sphere of influence, but for Morgan, the left-wing guerrillas active in Latin America are the top priority of his work. However, after President Reagan came to power, the increasingly serious drug problem and the The huge interests also made Morgan himself want to have a hand in it.
On the Colombian issue, the CIA had exchanges with DEA, but the latter relied on its professionalism and took the initiative quite forcefully. Therefore, the CIA's investment in Colombia was almost pitiful. If you exclude the Shadow Company, , there are only a few groups, and in addition to providing surveillance intelligence for the DEA, these groups mostly monitor the Soviet forces in Colombia.
But now in terms of Carlos Redd, Shepard just gave Morgan a quite advantageous entry point. After all, in a certain way, Carlos Redd's Caribbean air route involves national security.
Because these drug dealers can use this route to transport drugs in without anyone noticing, they can naturally also send in other things, such as weapons and bombs. If it is like the Mariel incident caused by Castro, That would be great fun.
In 1980, Castro, who had never dealt with the United States, made big news. He sent all 150,000 mentally ill prisoners in Cuba to Miami. Overnight, Miami was turned upside down and public security deteriorated. , poor hygiene. The property Morgan purchased in Miami was originally intended for him to vacation in his spare time. Just because Castro made such an incident, the old man had to pinch his nose and dispose of all the assets at a loss. He did not want it. When they woke up, the beach in front of them was filled with all kinds of old Mexicans and black people, so all the blood and sweat their ancestors had shed to fight for Indian land would have been in vain.
And the entire Latin American region has more refugees due to economic wars and various problems. If these people also flow into the United States through the Caribbean, and if other countries also follow Cuba's example, it will be really fun!
Therefore, there is nothing to lose but to get rid of Carlos Redd first.
"But can you tell me why you chose this guy to attack first instead of Pablo?"
In Morgan's office, Shepard and the old man were enjoying the massage on the sofa in an almost lying position while chatting about how to do it.
The reason to target a drug lord and confiscate all his assets.
"It's very simple. This guy's foundation is too shallow!"
Carlos Redd has indeed made huge fortunes by relying on his air fleet, and has used this as a basis to build a seemingly huge drug country, but he does not have his own territory in Colombia like the other three giants in Medellin. Followers, in other words, are detours in depth.
To put it bluntly, even if the United States now sends troops into Colombia to start a war with Pablo, the latter can rely on the hearts he bought with wealth to hide for a long time and have a place to hide. But Carlos Redd is different. His foundation is Berlin, America, this small island is his base.
Therefore, taking this island would mean that Red's foundation would be cut off in the middle. The Caribbean route he relied on was what enabled him to become one of the four giants in the Medellin Group. Once the route was cut off, he would be in trouble in Medellin. Whether Delin Group can still secure its position is still unknown.
Don't think that just because the drug lord leaders sit together to drink and eat meat, they really think they have a good relationship. In fact, because of the issue of interests, everyone secretly wants to kill their colleagues, and the reason why they can sit together is Chatting, that's because everyone has about the same power. If a conflict breaks out, there is no possibility of a quick victory. In addition, the forces of all parties check and balance each other, so they sit together to distribute benefits.
This is like dancing on three eggs. Once there is a problem with one of the eggs, leading to an imbalance in the restrictive relationship, other forces will be happy to eat you up, and by then, being able to survive will be regarded as the other party's benevolence. And the kind of killing them all to avoid future troubles is even more common.
Moreover, doing so will also make the drug lords more wary of each other, and everyone will not be as close as before. If you want to do something else, it will be easier!
The last point, which is the most irrelevant point, is that cutting off this line can prevent a large number of drugs from entering the United States, which is beneficial to the health of the people. But this is just a talk. For the CIA, The drug problem is not a problem at all, but the huge wealth is a problem!
