There was no reply from Shepard's plane, but the Colombian side hurriedly took action first, because the Medellin Group offered a high reward to the police. In Bogotá alone, a total of twenty-seven police officers died within a week.
Moreover, these police officers did not die while performing their duties. Most of them were shot to death by passers-by on the street who suddenly pulled out their weapons while on patrol or standing guard. .z.
The compact Ingram AC10 submachine gun was hidden under the clothes of these people. If the police did not pay attention, dense bullets could be fired from their backs or some dark corners.
And not all of the people who did it were drug dealers, there were also some ordinary gangsters who killed people purely for the reward.
For a time, all the police officers in Colombia were in danger. Those who went out to perform tasks even wanted to put a layer of steel plates on themselves. They walked on the road and suspected that anyone might be the killer who took their lives. They were in a state of high tension. The military and police even caused several incidents of accidental shooting.
In order to combat the other party's arrogance, the agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration spent a full week with Pablo's accountant. The latter finally revealed a place, which was Quibu, one hundred and seventy kilometers west of Medellin. A processing factory in Toronto is considered an important pillar of Medellin. It employs nearly 500 workers to produce cocaine here day and night. The output can even reach dozens of tons a week!
Although this amount may not seem like much, Washington, D.C.'s digestion capacity is only about two tons per week. In other words, the goods from this factory are enough to supply the sales volume of ten Washington, D.C.'s.
Destroying this processing plant may not have a fatal impact on Pablo, but it will be enough to cause him pain. Moreover, Quibdo is Pablo's territory, and it is only more than 100 kilometers away from Medellin, where he made his fortune. , taking action here is also a shock to the Medellin Group.
Because the stakes were so high, the CIA deservedly took command of the operation. Of course, it was a joint operation in name. The Colombian side would dispatch about 300 police and task forces, plus the two teams of the Drug Enforcement Administration in Colombia, a total of two Ten people, as well as the two units of Shadow Company, add up to a total of 700 people, and this does not include the air force that will be dispatched and the personnel who provide logistics support.
Because Colonel Pike is no longer alive, the Colombian Interior Minister recommended a major general named Antonio to command all Colombian military police. This major general is not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall, with a gray beard, and looks unattractive. However, he has a high prestige in the military, because he is also a faction that firmly supports anti-drugs, so he usually does not have a harmonious relationship with his colleagues. If it were not for the proposal of the Minister of the Interior, Major General Antonio might still be commanding his own troops and guerrillas in the mountains. hide and seek.
Even if he was transferred to fight drug dealers, the major general still didn't have a good face because he had to cooperate with the Americans. However, after chatting with Hannibal, who had also been on the battlefield, his face improved. few.
"But that doesn't mean I agree with you and your men, Mr. Hannibal!"
"No problem, Major General!"
The two sides worked hard to set up a joint operations command, and then obtained an aerial view of the factory taken by satellite.
Because of the importance of the factory, the Medellin Group built the factory in a mountain valley, almost thirty kilometers away from the city. Every day, the Medellin Group sends dozens of buses to and from the city and the factory, as well as nearby Settlement, used to transport workers from the factory.
There are also many armed guards and mercenaries stationed outside the factory, at least a hundred or more, and Pablo has recently sent a lot more people here.
Several roads leading to the processing plant are also stationed with mercenaries from Medellin, and there is even a small town nearby where armed drug dealers are active.
It can be said that in this area of Medellin and nearby areas, the real governing body has long been the Medellin Group. The existence of the Colombian government here is worthless. Whether it is government agencies or the police, they have long been eliminated. A large amount of black money was spent on one of his own people. Therefore, no military and police units in the area were notified of the operation because the Minister of the Interior knew that no one from the grassroots police to the top officials could trust this place.
But I want to clear them out
Except for the police force, the treatment is not good in the first place. If more severe measures are used, it is possible for these guys to change jobs on the spot as soon as they take off their clothes. You must know that there are many former soldiers and policemen in the Medellin Group. Their military skills are very popular among drug traffickers, as well as professional mercenaries. Pablo spent a lot of money to hire these people to train his army.
Therefore, the Colombian government must not take any tough measures against these police officers. Instead, it must try its best to appease them. Just like the old saying, recruit them first, then ennoble them, and finally ignore them.
There are countless similar people throughout Colombia. To put it bluntly, 80% of government officials, media, and police in the country have received benefits from drug dealers. This is the main reason why the Minister of the Interior would rather let Americans come in to help, because internal There are too few people who can believe it. The current president is also a fence-sitter. On the one hand, he relies on drugs to collect a large amount of tax revenue, and on the other hand, he wants to suppress drug dealers.
But now that the situation has improved, the war between the Medellin Group and the government will inevitably make a large number of neutrals jump to the government's side, not for anything else but because of the cruel methods chosen by the Medellin Group for their own interests.
The first thing to draw a clear line with the other party is the police officers who have been rewarded by the Medellin Group. In the past, they were unwilling to mess with drug dealers, but now, even if they have done nothing, they may still be beaten to death. This makes A large part of the police sided with the drug dealers.
But Pablo doesn't care about this. Now he just wants to tell everyone that his cocaine empire is the king of this land. In the past, he wanted to lead the people out of suffering as a savior and onto a new road to wealth. The road was trampled mercilessly, so now, he has only one choice!
A path of suppressing violence with violence, using death and fire to tell the Colombian government that there will be no good consequences for offending him, and then using massive drug dumping to tell the United States that he is not easy to mess with. It’s just that Pablo feels that if he arms himself like a hedgehog, the other party will There was no way to start, but what he didn't know was that even if he was armed as a hedgehog, the damned person would still have to die. After all, with the air force, he could do whatever he wanted.
