Chapter 464: The Jeff Stein Incident

The next day, all the information about the contact between U.S. Army Colonel Jeff Stein and Mexican drug traffickers was exposed by Vientiane's media system through various channels.

The revealed information includes a large number of footage, such as Jeff Stein and his men being interrogated in Vientiane, and somehow being secretly filmed talking to rebel leader Phil Greg.

In addition, there are some written materials that give a detailed list of weapons used by the United States to support drug traffickers, and the M60 main battle tank is impressively listed.

In black and white, the evidence is conclusive, and the fact that the United States secretly colluded with Mexican drug traffickers can be regarded as solid.

Also exposed was a reporter's commentary, which wrote: "...... In his "State of the Union" address in 1991, George H.W. Bush said that the United States, as a beacon of democracy, should shine on the world. Yet such a self-proclaimed lighthouse is in cahoots with heinous drug dealers! While the people of Mexico are fighting against drug traffickers, the United States is selling weapons to drug dealers! Drug dealers use the dirtiest money to buy bullets and artillery fire from them, and then use them to massacre civilians...... May I ask you, Mr. Trump, how do you, as the 'leader of the free world,' face your people and the world?"

The commentary was widely cited, mentioning the "Declaration of Independence", "Gettysburg Address" and other classic American texts, with fierce and loud wording, pointing the finger at US President Trump, and severely criticizing this 70-year-old elder and head of state.

After all, the president is the supreme commander of the army, and the matter of selling weapons to drugs must be approved by him, and as the current president, Trump cannot escape his responsibility no matter what.

Now that the general election is approaching, as soon as this big news comes out, the US Democratic Party is suddenly overjoyed.

CNN, Google, Facebook, and other Democratic-leaning media and online platforms have added fuel to the fire, gathering Trump's support, causing the latter's support to plummet.

In the end, Trump had to come forward to explain a few words, saying that it was "cleaning up the inventory".

As soon as the phrase of "clearing the stockpile" came out, the Mexican government expressed its willingness to share the worries of the United States and help clear the stockpile, which was acceptable to tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, and artillery.

Trump had no choice but to stop responding, so for a while mockery was everywhere, and a video of Trump's ghost animals repeating "clearing the inventory" appeared on YouTube.

So much so that later, "clearing inventory" became a popular word and was frequently used on the Internet, media, and film and television dramas.

Clinton Clinton at the same time, has been particularly impressive, not only touring the country to speak, but also releasing a number of medical check-ups, saying that her physical condition is "definitely much healthier than four years ago."

Of course, the most important thing is the change in campaign strategy, and under the careful planning of the social science team of the Vientiane Lab, Hillary Clinton finally put political correctness in the second place, and put economic and political measures in the first place.

This has made her image much more pragmatic, which is quite commensurate with the current political atmosphere in the United States.

Originally, Trump did a good job in office, and his approval rating has been rising steadily. But as soon as the Jeff Stein affair came out, coupled with the Democrats' pursuit of victory, there are now a number of polls showing that Hillary's approval rating is beginning to lead Trump.

The Jeff Stein incident not only dealt a heavy blow to Trump's prestige, but also made the United States lose the possibility of interfering in Mexico's drug war.

Without U.S. weapons support and military guidance, the rebels are vulnerable to Vientiane's security.

Moreover, the main leader of the rebel alliance was almost dead, so within a few days, the rebels were completely defeated, and the state of Sonora was returned to the control of the Mexican government.

According to reports, after the defeat of the rebels, Samuel Bridges, the former No. 2 of the Sinaloa drug cartel, led the remnants of the defeated army to flee south, and went to the Yucatan region to collude with the remnants of Seta to form a new organization "Sinaceta" and capture the Yucatan Peninsula.

Perhaps knowing that he was invincible, Sinaceta took thousands of civilians hostage, claiming that as long as Vientiane was safe or the Mexican government army attacked, he would execute these civilians immediately.

This move has attracted numerous condemnations, but Sinaceta is not afraid of boiling water, saying that unless the Mexican government surrenders, the civilians will never be released and will be carried to the end.

Vientiane Security and the Mexican government forces suddenly did not dare to act rashly, and confronted Sinaceta, a stalemate.

The war on drugs, which was in full swing, became a near-dead end in the Yucatan Peninsula and dragged on for months......

Of course, this is a play directed and acted by Vientiane Security Services in order to delay as much time as possible.

Although the situation was stalemate on the surface, in secret, Vientiane continued to move, and within a few months, Vientiane completely dismantled and reorganized the rebel organization into an army of 100,000, which was controlled by Shan Wu and others and Bridges.

As Lin Han said, Bridges also met secretly with Mexican President Olofdor several times and drank and talked, but as for what he said, of course, the outside world does not know.

In short, in the eyes of the outside world, the war on drugs has entered a stage similar to "those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety", but for Lin Han, when Jeff Stein is caught, the war is actually over.

More than half of the more than 200,000 drug dealers, gangsters, and separatists were wiped out, and the remaining about 100,000 were split and reorganized several times to become an armed force controlled by the Vientiane clique.

The goal of building up a military force has been initially achieved, and the drug cartels that have committed all kinds of evil have been put away. No matter how you look at it, this war on drugs has ended perfectly.

Of course, there is already an army of 100,000 people, but there is still some way to go in army building. After all, so far, except for a hundred second-hand tanks smaller, this army does not have any decent equipment, and the level of training is too far behind.

In terms of equipment, the Iron Curtain Warriors are the best choice for the army, but first, the production is insufficient, and second, Sinaceta has not yet been whitewashed, and a large amount of equipment is not realistic.

The fight against drug trafficking is also a long way off, and in fact, it is much more difficult than building an army.

To be precise, it is easy to crack down on drug traffickers, but it is very difficult to crack down on drugs.

Although the war on drugs was fought vigorously, the actual results achieved were only the elimination of violent crimes committed by Mexican drug cartels, and did not play any role in the production and sale of drugs.

The root cause of drugs is tens of millions of addicts around the world, and as long as the market demand is still there, drug dealers will inevitably be born again and again by wildfires.

Eradicating drugs requires not only force, but also complex economic, political, and legal issues, and even involves many aspects of medical physiology.

Although Lin Han has some plans, but after careful calculation, the cost is really not low, and he still has to figure it out slowly.

Politically, at least, he also needs an incomparably strong ally - the President of the United States of America.
