Shepard has never had any thoughts of coveting other people's bodies. After all, he could have other goals to pursue, instead of a woman who had just been beaten to death by his own men.
The main reason why he was looking for Jahira was to get Gacha's small treasury. As a big drug lord, Gacha's assets are also countless, comparable to Carlos Redd, but many of these assets are not so easy for him to get. .
The war on drugs, the war on drugs, is it really about drugs? That would be a big mistake, because if it was really a war on drugs, then the CIA's target would not be Pablo, but itself, the Drug Enforcement Administration, other departments, and even the military.
After all, drug use was common in the US military during the Vietnam War. Ordinary soldiers were fine, and the number of drug abuses was not too large, so the average number was calculated as hundreds per person, but those elites who performed the mission of breaking out behind enemy lines were destined to die. Knocked.
According to incomplete statistics, the U.S. military in Vietnam took more than 200 million units of drugs, including things like steroids and steroids.
Therefore, the trouble that the United States is worried about is not in Colombia or Mexico, but in New York and Washington, D.C. So why is it launching a drug war?
The fundamental reason for launching the drug war is the outflow of dollars caused by the proliferation of drugs!
At its peak, the Medellin Group could earn 1.8 billion U.S. dollars a day, which means that 1.8 billion U.S. dollars floated from the country to abroad, which is nearly 60 billion dollars a year. This amount of money is an astronomical figure. You must know that 75 The cost of the Nimitz-class new nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that entered service in 2006 was only 10 billion.
In other words, the Medellin Group alone can take away six nuclear-powered aircraft carriers from the United States every year.
Therefore, the reason why the Medellin Group is being targeted is because they are rich and too high-profile. Of course, this does not rule out the fact that some people are really willing to fight drugs and make the world a better place because of their conscience and responsibilities, but for high-level officials , the drug war is just a means.
Therefore, all parties involved were like gluttons, sharpening their teeth and starting the feast of sharing the spoils.
The size of Shadow Company is just a small shrimp in front of those real behemoths. It does not even have permission, and it is not even qualified to serve on the table. It seems that Shadow Company has taken a lot of Carlos Redd's assets, but the real big ones are all there. The Colombian side is in the hands of the United States, and Shepard can get a piece of meat in it, purely because he joined the team in time.
Therefore, the same is true for Gacha. Those assets that account for the majority include funds in banks, bearer bonds, etc. If he wants to monopolize these things, then Shadow Company will immediately change from a green name to a red name. No To put it politely, if Shepard wanted to eat, he would have to wait until the people above him were full before he could eat the leftovers.
From a certain point of view, military contractors really cannot make money standing still during this period. Even if they have guns and people, it depends on their appearance.
Therefore, Shepard's goal was never the assets. His goal was the hoarded cash.
Even in later generations, electronic payment in Latin America was not very developed, let alone now.
The amount of cash generated by the Medellin cartel from selling drugs is horrifying, and even more horrifying is what to do with the cash.
The luxurious life of a drug lord seems expensive, but in fact, this kind of luxurious life is the most efficient means. After all, no matter how nice the house is, no matter how delicious the food is, the money spent is limited, let alone Beverly Hills. , even if they build a brand new Beverly by themselves, the money spent will still not be more than the money earned.
Therefore, in order to launder the money as much as possible, the drug lords used all means, including buying banks, investing, opening companies, and even investing in welfare, providing free water, electricity and new houses to the people, building schools, roads, and parks. But the money still cannot be spent.
In order to handle funds, drug dealers even began to dig holes and buy warehouses to hoard cash. The amount of money was so large that the people who buried the money did not know how much they had buried, so it was even more impossible to track the amount.
What Shepard wants is this money. Because it is too confusing, the officials are too lazy to trace it, because the assets they have confiscated directly from drug traffickers are already astronomical figures. Those figures are more than the national
gdp is high.
There are not many people under Gacha who do this kind of work. Among the few people arrested in the manor, there are such people. After Hannibal conducted a surprise interrogation, he immediately sent people to several locations revealed by the other party. .
There are sparsely populated places, either abandoned warehouses or uninhabited wastelands, but there are countless treasures buried inside.
A group of PCs dug up nearly tens of millions of cash in the swamp. However, due to improper storage, more than half of the cash had been soaked to pieces, but the remaining intact ones amounted to millions.
Gacha's other henchmen naturally know more, so catching them and grabbing as many benefits as possible before Gacha's death is reported is Shepard's current top priority.
After Jaheira's daughter was threatened, she immediately chose to cooperate with Shadow Company. After all, she had no choice. She did not dare to gamble on Shepard's conscience. After all, everyone knew that mercenaries had no credibility at all. Profit-seeking hyenas will even bite their employers, and no matter how fancy the Shadow Company boasts, they are still mercenaries, so their conscience is in a state of uncertainty.
Jaheira called Gacha's confidant, his personal lawyer Yago, who also went into hibernation after Gacha entered a state of escape. Of course, this hibernation is also relative. If his boss reverses the situation, the king returns. , then he will naturally no longer have to hibernate, but if the boss is cool, then those hibernators can run away quickly, and they can also take a large amount of money with them when they leave.
As long as you escape overseas and change your appearance, you can live a comfortable life.
But now, due to the boss's pressure, these confidants are still waiting for the call. As a more loyal member, Yago agreed without hesitation after receiving Jaheira's call. and the other party’s request to meet.
Without even asking why, he agreed to the time and place proposed by Jaheira.
"Well done, Ms. Jaheira!"
"I just hope you won't disturb my daughter anymore, she is innocent!"
"Of course, you can rest assured that your daughter is safe and sound. As long as you cooperate, we will not embarrass any collaborators!"
Shepard nodded and said.
