Chapter 445: Too Far from Heaven
Originally, the media that exposed the news had a strong official background, and for various considerations, it was not too high-profile, but only briefly explained the facts of Seta's downfall, with a little video material.
However, the development of events was greatly unexpected by the government, because once something is related to Vientiane, there is basically no possibility of keeping a low profile.
What's more, Lin Han had intended to stir up this matter, and the greater the influence, the better.
Within a few days, the world's media and networks were reporting the news of the fall of Seta and the killing of Ramos, and recounted the precise strikes of Vientiane Security Company and the enlightened decision of the Mexican military officer Tatoche.
Vientiane Security Company, which used to be silent in front of the public, will finally make a big comeback, and will be regarded by the outside world as the most powerful security company in China with the nature of mercenaries, on a par with the American Blackwater Company.
As the CEO of Vientiane Security, the deeds of Yang Zhuo, a former central security guard, have also been increasingly unearthed by the media.
In addition, in Mexico, Lieutenant Colonel Enrique Pasquil Tatoche is also famous, and under the deliberate guidance of the media, he has become a national hero and a son of the stars.
At this time, Tatoche's appearance plays a huge role.
He is one meter nine tall, powerful and strong, with angular facial features, and the deep and resolute gaze of a mature man, and the whole person is full of tough guy temperament...... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a heroic general in a romantic epic.
For example, a media outlet in China simply described his appearance as "a combined version of Cheng Baoguo and Schwarzenegger".
Such deeds, appearance, and a little packaging, fame and fortune are rolling in.
Although Lin Han had reminded him before, in the face of such a huge honor and fame, Tatoche couldn't help but float, all kinds of speeches, all kinds of talk and laughter, all over the country.
On this day, for example, Tatoche was invited to the National Polytechnic University of Mexico to give a lecture on drug control, which was not the first time Tatoche had given a lecture at a university.
The lecture took place in the open-air playground, where students, teachers, and journalists sat in the dark, while Tatoche sat on the stage with the principal and others.
The audience buzzed and looked at the mighty lieutenant colonel in military uniform on stage, and many of the students' eyes showed admiration, especially the girls, although there were not many girls in the polytechnic schools.
After the speech began, the principal and others spoke, and soon it was Tatoche's turn amid warm applause, and the students below who were playing with their mobile phones and reading books also looked up.
"Hello students, it's a pleasure to be invited to the National Polytechnic University of Mexico, ...... today," Tatoche glanced at the speech on the table from time to time, pinched the microphone with one hand, and talked eloquently with a smile on his face.
"Anti-narcotics, this is an unquestionable war, and in the past year alone, my troops have encountered drug traffickers and engaged in firefights many times. ”
His face was serious, and his voice was low: "It is true that we have captured and killed many drug dealers, but there are also many brave Mexican fighters who have paid with their lives in this war. ”
"I have a comrade-in-arms who has known each other for many years, and when we were the most ordinary soldiers, we were as close as brothers. We drank together, hunted together, and fought together...... Yet just twenty-three months ago, I saw his body in Oskuzkav – half of it, to be exact. At this point, his eyes were a little red.
"After being tested by the troops, I know that my brother was not killed on the battlefield, but was beheaded by Seta after being injured and losing the ability to resist!"
The atmosphere began to grow heavy, and in the quiet open-air playground, only Tatoche's voice was heard: "Such a brutal act makes Seta or Sinaloa or almost any drug cartel no different from terrorism......"
"As soldiers, our mission is to destroy these demons and protect the people. A judge may let a drug dealer consume taxpayers' wealth for fifty years, but a military man won't!"
"Bang Bang!!"
There was a burst of applause at the scene, and a little enthusiastic young man stood up and shouted.
Tatoche took a deep breath, as if inspired, and continued: "In the confrontation with the drug cartel, I realized that we should seek the help of some powerful forces. I thought it was the United States, but unfortunately, as the world's number one military power, it seems to be helpless against drug traffickers. ”
"Of course the world police won't help us, because they're the biggest drug market in the world, and they need drug dealers, and drug dealers need them. ”
"The misfortune of Mexico lies precisely in the fact that it is too far from heaven and too close to the United States......"
When it came to "too far from heaven, too close to the United States", many people in the audience read the second half of the sentence.
This is a famous quote from former Mexican President Porfirio Díaz.
Regardless of the previous wars and conflicts between the United States and Mexico, for now, if it were not for the United States, Mexico would not be overrun with drugs and chaotic law and order.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) bankrupted Mexican farmers, and U.S. restrictions on the transportation of drugs by sea led to an influx of Colombian drug traffickers into Mexico.
It can be said that the root cause of Mexico's suffering lies in large part in the world's largest country entrenched in their north.
"It wasn't until a month ago that I received an order to respond to the Vientiane Group, and then I realized that this technology company from China was Mexico's best ally against drug traffickers...... Mr. Lin is a man of integrity and generosity, and we have established some cooperation, and it turns out that with the help of powerful technology, the once rampant drug dealer has become unrecognizable. ”
"On the same day, we managed to kill Valencia, the leader of one of the districts of Seta, and then ......"
No one noticed that while Tatoche was giving a speech on the stage, in a remote corner of the open-air playground, a young man wearing a black hat and carrying a backpack was clenching his fists, his body trembling slightly, as if he was enduring something.
After a while, the young man took the backpack off his shoulder, unzipped it, and put his hands in for a while, his left arm seemed to be injured, and the movement was a little slow.
When the young man zipped it again, his right hand, hidden in his sleeve, was quickly tucked into the pocket of his jacket.
Then he stood up and began to walk aimlessly around the playground like an ordinary student without a seat.
As he walked, he gradually came to the front position, surrounded by dense and congested students, and his movements made many people frown.
"Hey, what are you doing?" said a girl who had almost been crushed in a chair.
The young man did not hear it, but quickened his pace, moving quickly through the crowd, causing a commotion.
"Who are you?"
"Hell, what house is he from?"
The commotion immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding security guards: "Hey, stop! What are you doing?"
The young man was almost at the front of the crowd at this time, and his right hand was pulled out of his pocket, revealing a swarthy pistol.
"Tatoche, go to hell!!" he pointed his gun at the lieutenant colonel on the stage with a hideous face.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang......"
As soon as Tatoche raised his head, a series of dense gunshots rang out, and under the tremendous force of the impact, he fell to the ground, screaming and falling backwards from his seat.
