Chapter Sixty-Eight: Each Carries a Ghost

Vicky met Pedro three times, but all in a nightclub in Santa Fe Bogotá. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Colombian authorities have long wanted Pedro, offering a reward of $1.5 million, and the FBI raising the reward to fifteen million, it is meaningless, not only does Pedro often go to Santa Fe Bogotá, but also buy a ten-acre estate there.

It's not that no one wants a fifteen million dollar bounty, it's that no one dares to ask for it, or that no one will live to get it.

Three years ago, the Colombian police were provided with Pedro's whereabouts, but before the police could find Pedro, the informant was dismantled and his body was dumped outside the gates of the Santa Fe Bogotá Police Headquarters, and the killer is still at large. Since then, no one has ever thought of the bounty.

Pedro is so "open-minded" that he has a close relationship with [***]'s Colombian political axe.

According to outside rumors, the chief of police of Colombia is his guest of honor and receives tens of millions of dollars in benefits every year. As for the generals of the Colombian political axe army, they were even more embarrassed with him. Otherwise, over the years, the Colombian political axe's anti-drug operation would not have been fruitless.

It is the Americans who scare Pedro.

Five years ago, Pedro was nearly killed by the Navy SEALs. At that time, a small team of Navy SEALs secretly infiltrated Pedro's lair and quietly killed more than a dozen bodyguards. When Pedro woke up from his sleep, Major Bhattiatu, who was leading the assault team, was already standing by his bedside.

It was in this operation that Pedro began to work with Harris.

Before the druggate-debacle broke out, Pedro delivered drugs to the outskirts of San Jose on time every month and handed them over to Batiato's men. In return, Batiatu will keep abreast of the latest developments of the Colombian political axe army and the U.S. military's anti-narcotics special forces.

What's more, Batiatu will also use the anti-narcotics operation to help Pedro crack down on rivals.

In the past five years, at least three drug lords have been killed by Navy SEALs commanded by Batiatu, and two others have been brought to court in the United States.

Despite losing the U.S. market and giving Harris hundreds of millions of dollars in free drugs, Pedro is safe enough to open up other markets as he pleases, such as Brazil, where Pedro sells more than half of the drugs, and in Europe, he is the number one supplier.

Pedro was polite in the face of Vicky, because he knew that Vicky was Harris's right-hand man.

It's just that the "drug trafficking" turmoil has changed the relationship between Pedro and Harris.

Prior to that, both had provided benefits to each other. With the end of Colonel Batiatu and the cutting off of the transport route from San Jose to the United States, Pedro not only lost the necessary security guarantees, but also was unable to deliver drugs to the United States. For him, the foundation of working with Harris is security.

He doesn't have to worry about the Colombian political axe, he just has to consider the threat of the US military and other drug lords.

In the jungles of the Guaviare River basin, it has long been no secret that Pedro colludes with the US military. Although the other drug lords are very angry, they also hate this guy who eats inside and out. Without the support of the U.S. military, even if Pedro has great strength, it will be difficult to compete with all the drug lords.

Pedro did not refuse the purchase request made by **vic, nor did he immediately agree.

The first is whether Harris wants to pay for the shipment. With the end of the partnership, Pedro is certainly reluctant to give away $14 million worth of cocaine and about $10 million worth of marijuana to Harris, who could get at least 40 million euros if sold on the European market.

It's not a small amount of money for anyone.

The second is the problem of transportation channels, Pedro does not have a direct channel to ship to the United States. According to his shipping route, these goods can only be sent to Brazil and shipped to the United States. Regardless of the risk, even if it is shipped immediately, it will take a month to reach the United States.

**Vicky obviously couldn't wait that long.

Finally, Pedro's biggest concern is whether Harris can handle the U.S. military in San Jose. If the new U.S. commander refuses to cooperate, let alone with Harris, Pedro will even have to consider leaving Colombia with the accumulated capital to spend the rest of his life in a Latin American country.

Unable to give a clear answer to this question, Vicky was also unable to give a clear answer.

If these problems cannot be solved, there will be no way to talk about cooperation.

Harris had expected it, so he didn't expect much from **vic, but just hoped that he could stabilize Pedro and let this big drug lord who had developed so hard stay in Colombia.

With the support of the CIA, the new SEAL commander will definitely be able to get it.

After the rumors have passed, the transport corridor will be opened again, and perhaps the CIA transport planes will be used to bring drugs back from Colombia.

As for the basis of cooperation with Pedro, as long as this guy still wants to make money, there is no second option.

Unfortunately, Vicky didn't know about Harris's relationship with the CIA, so it was impossible for him to tell Pedro about these things, only to let him know that Harris had a way to provide security, reopen transportation routes, and even deal with other drug lords for him.

As a very realistic Catholic, Pedro wants not verbal assurances, but actual actions.

Pedro's answer to Vicky's commitment was also clear. As long as Harris settles the U.S. military commander and reopens the transportation corridor, the cooperation will be maintained. Before that, Harris had to find a way to get the goods out of the house in addition to buying them with cash.

Vicky was annoyed that he didn't have much money with him, let alone a proper means of transport.

Inside, Pedro is certainly willing to continue working with Harris, after all, it brings him security and a lot of money. So when Vicky arrived, he took the Poles on a tour of a cannabis plantation and a cocaine processing plant, and introduced him to the latest processing equipment.

In doing so, it just convinces Vicky that he is still the most potential partner.

Subsequently, Pedro asked Vic to review his armed forces: a legion of five hundred mercenaries.

Vicky didn't take these to heart.

He didn't understand marijuana cultivation techniques, nor did he figure out how to extract cocaine from marijuana, and he didn't pay attention to Pedro's personal armament.

In his opinion, those mercenaries are cheap goods and cannot go to the battlefield at all.

After three days of talks, Vicky made one last request: the organizers transported one ton of cocaine and seven tons of marijuana to San Jose.

As for how to transport it back to the United States, there is no need for Pedro to worry about it, and it will be arranged by ** Vicky himself.

The most important issue of payment, ** Vicky only promised to bring the goods to the United States and mentioned the matter to Harris, without promising to pay the full amount.

For this request, Pedro obviously could not accept.

In any case, this batch of goods is worth tens of millions of dollars, and it must be painful to give it away for nothing.

It's just that Pedro didn't dare to offend Harris. Besides, he still has a glimmer of hope that Harris has a way to get the American commander.

In the end, Pedro agreed to Vicky's request and only asked to be interviewed with Harris in due course.

It is impossible for Vicky to refuse such a request, because it is up to Harris to decide when it is appropriate. Even if Harris doesn't come to Colombia, Pedro can't do anything about him.

No matter how good Pedro is, he doesn't dare to go to the United States.

After the negotiations, Pedro asked his men to prepare twenty mules. It's the most efficient means of transport in the jungle, and it only takes one day and one night to get from the cocaine processing plant to San Jose.

Previously, the drugs supplied to Harris were shipped to San Jose in this way.

Because it was too late, Pedro suggested that Vic leave early the next morning. ** Vicky did not object, because he had to arrange for his accompanying men to reconnoiter the route of advance.

In the evening, Pedro held a send-off banquet for **vic.

Although the conditions in the jungle are very simple, Pedro's banquets are very luxurious, not only from the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but also with expensive French champagne and Havana cigars.

** Vicky is very self-disciplined, and the men he brings are also very restrained.

Pedro doesn't have to worry about anything, he has already arranged for his men to deploy a defensive line on the periphery, and after sending away **vic, he will go to Brazil to deal with the business there.

Under his influence, the leaders of the stewards were very indulgent.

At this time, the danger was approaching, and even ** Vicky did not perceive it.

Outside the manor, Zhou Yulong and Takahara Miyuki personally went out and quietly killed the two sentinels guarding the north bank of the Inirida River, and then sank the body to the bottom of the river.

The Inurida River is a tributary of the Guaviare River, and the main channel runs parallel to the Guaviare River, about sixty kilometers apart.

Pedro's cannabis plantation, cocaine processing plant and estate are located between two rivers, making the area ideal for cannabis cultivation.

Because San José is in the upper reaches of the Guaviare River, Pedro's estate is next to the Inirida River.

In this way, even if the US troops in San Jose went down the river, they would not be able to hit them directly, and they would have to pass through the tropical jungle for more than 50 kilometers.

After letting the special forces lurking in the river go ashore, Zhou Yulong took out his military handheld computer and began to assign assault tasks.

"Remember, we're the other drug lords." After assigning the task, Zhou Yulong put away the computer. "Sign language is used as much as possible during combat, and if communication is required, only English is spoken. Once you're in the manor, try to do as much damage as possible, don't let anyone go, and do something decent. ”

"What about women and children?"

"We're armed with drug lords, understand?"

The special forces who asked the question nodded, indicating that he understood what Zhou Yulong meant.

"Deployed in five minutes, I went in with Gao Yuan to plant bombs, and when I saw the signal, I attacked. Working in pairs, they moved closer to me after the operation. ”

After speaking, Zhou Yulong waved his hand to both sides, making the eighteen special forces want to move on both sides.

"Are you ready?"

Miyuki Gao nodded, pulled out the jungle machete that Zhou Yulong had prepared for her, and put on her backpack full of bombs.

Zhou Yulong put his backpack on his back and went into the woods in front of him. Miyuki Plateau immediately followed, always keeping a distance of five meters from Zhou Yulong.
