Chapter 1782: S: Apocalypse (49)
Batman doesn't know what Bruce is up to, but he's pretty sure the overly trendy Batman is serious, and he's even ready to convince the Gotham gangsters.
Gangsters are not a group with a firm position, they gather together only for profit, in terms of engaging in illegal and criminal activities, their sense of smell is more sensitive than hyenas, and because the gangster base in Gotham is too large, not everyone is short-sighted, and the smart people among them have long seen that even if the megacity is a stage, the gangster system will sooner or later be completely solidified, and then it will be over.
The tragedy of dynastic cycles has played out countless times in history, and there is no group of vested interests that does not want their dynasty to survive for a long time, and if it cannot exist here, then it exists elsewhere, and the Gotham gang has developed to this day, and there is no shortage of such smart people and careerists.
Although Gotham's timeline is still early for Batman, the Gotham gang has been growing for many years, and the predators who once devoured the city have found themselves trapped in a backwatering pool, and they desperately need a wider ocean.
With Batman's acquiescence, Bruce successfully persuaded Falcone that they would not go directly to Mexico to start from scratch, but first investigate and then move in, and finally slowly move the subject to another country.
No one can resist the temptation to control a country, with Bruce's gang to match the gangs in Gotham, they can directly parachute to the top, after all, the top level in Mexico has long been rotten, and cooperating with local gangs is cooperation, and cooperating with American gangsters may be able to make more money.
With this in mind, the Gotham Gang's plan to parachute into Mexico went surprisingly well, and Falcone and his gang family broke into the upper echelons without much effort.
In any case, Mexico is also a country with a vast area, Mexico in this era is not even a small country, the afterglow of the economic boom era is still there, the superior natural conditions of South America make the country here as long as there is still a breath left to be called a golden country, and the countless gold and silver treasures here are not reserved for those local gangsters who only know how to dig in the soil.
In the area of the criminal industry, the arrival of the Gotham gang is like a dimensionality reduction blow for criminal organizations in any region, and the real organization of ruling a city with a criminal industry, even the FBI has no way to organize it, can be called a fish in water in a chaotic but profitable country like Mexico.
It didn't take long for this emerging force from the dark city to emerge in Mexico, but it didn't take much to know that this caused a lot of discontent among the local gangs, and the two sides soon clashed.
The gangs of Gotham have always been different, and the well-known gangster conflicts are definitely based on violence, but the Gotham gangs have gone off the rails, and the smart people in the gangs have long seen what their advantages are.
Falconé had already united all the gangsters of the city decades ago, and they were a united collective.
The local gangs in Mexico are not only scattered, but also have huge contradictions that cannot be resolved, and the change of power is not stable, and a big gang is likely to fall apart overnight because the leader is assassinated by his subordinates.
The biggest gap between the two sides is not the military, but the economy, and the gangs of Gotham have combined to occupy the resources of an entire American megacity.
Gotham has never been poor, and after so many years of rule, Gotham's gangsters have money, and their structure is very stable, and there will hardly be violent turmoil in a short period of time, so the operation and use of funds are also stable.
To put it simply, these Gotham people don't look at the art of war and look at economics, and Bruce says that this must be the gangsters' dreams and enlightenment one night, and suddenly they understand it themselves.
As soon as the economic war started, the local gangs in Mexico could be said to be powerless, and the Gotham gangs used their sufficient liquidity to buy local companies on a large scale, whether they were legal or not, and they all received them, not for me to have, but so that you didn't have them.
Planting, processing, secondary processing, packaging, warehousing, and logistics are the parts that Mexico's drug production and trafficking industry needs to complete within the borders of the country, but since there is a planting part, it means that it has similar weaknesses as the agricultural industry.
The poppy plant is not evergreen, and the economic value that a plant can provide is capped, and it is not like in the idle game, where the energy source continues to produce gold coins, and when to harvest is best depends on God's arrangement, not human beings can decide.
Therefore, like all agricultural products, if the harvest is not transported to be processed in time, the secondary processing is not carried out in time, and the secondary processing is not quickly packaged and transported into the warehouse and then shipped after the secondary processing, it will face the loss of a large number of goods.
Although plant drugs are not used entirely in the plant part, other parts also have the properties of plants, and they will spoil if they are not stored properly, which is also the reason why chemical drugs can catch up.
The problem faced by the Mexican gangs is that the Gotham gangs have invaded the processing and logistics and warehousing links, where the raw materials have been harvested, the warehouses are still fighting, the roads have not been taken down, and the raw materials can only be placed in the primary buyers, can they still be expected to build the world's most advanced cold storage to protect these things?
What's even more terrible is that the delay of a batch of goods will lead to the lack of funds for the production of the second batch of goods, and there is no cost to put into production, which means that the capital chain is broken.
If you don't know about the drug production and trafficking industry, then you can completely regard Mexico's drug production industry as an agricultural product industry, which is quite fragile, and almost every country must introduce perfect laws to ensure the timeliness of logistics and storage of agricultural products, otherwise there may be a situation where people can't eat and everything rots in the ground.
Mexico obviously has no laws to guarantee the production and sale of poppy agricultural products, and if there is, no one will abide by them, and the Gotham gangs are waving a lot of money, and the officials who originally provided the umbrella for the local drug lords have changed their tunes, and the local gangs with too monolithic industries have quickly entered a dead circle.
And this leads to another problem, which is that the dogs of the local gangs jump over the wall.
The more money they don't have to put it into production, the more they want to make money, and in their opinion, the things I invest in growing don't bring me profit, so why should I pay?
In this way, what Mexican farmers have worked so hard to grow for a quarter can no longer bring them any guarantee of survival resources, and the original worry-free life of Xiao'an is gone, what can they do?
In addition to farmers, the workers in charge of processing and secondary processing in this chain have also suffered from a severe economic crisis.
In the beginning, the gangsters would pay them wages in order to maintain their existing production, but the more they tried to get those things back, the more force they needed, and it cost money to buy weapons.
If the financial route is cut off, spend money to defend one's own financial route, and the money can only be exploited from the existing financial road, but the exploitation is too ruthless, which is equivalent to cutting off one's own financial route.
The local gangs are involved in a bottomless pit, fighting for who has more financial resources, and it is clear that none of them can fight the Gotham gangs that have been operating in Gotham for many years, so the wages of the workers cannot be paid.
In fact, if the gangs of the entire country of Mexico united, they might not be afraid of the Gotham gangs, the problem is that they can't unite, this kind of organization with extreme exclusivity can form a stable system, and this miracle will not happen a second time in any region except Gotham.
When it was discovered that the local gang had no power to fight back, and this vast land was indeed promising, the family leader, who had some doubts about Bruce's words, finally relieved his heart, and the focus of the Gotham gang began to be shifted to South America.
This is not an incredible thing for them, the origin of the Gotham gang itself is the Italian mafia, at that time, the development space of southern Italy was not broad enough, and it was during the American Prohibition period that Falcone led the Italian gang family to the United States to seek a bigger stage.
In their opinion, this industrial transfer is normal, and it didn't take long for the main industry to move.
After the transfer of the gangster economy, Gotham's economy has indeed been affected to a certain extent, at this time Batman has discovered that this Gotham does not have four families, and Wayne Industries does not exist, instead of several other groups, none of which originated in Gotham natively.
But it gave Batman a chance to make a difference, and he began to use his unparalleled business acumen to improve people's livelihoods while rebuilding Gotham's economy, and things soon improved.
While Gotham's reform was steadily underway, Batman had to look south, and he was really curious about what Bruce was doing.
If this trendy bat is really in league with the gangsters, and Batman doesn't believe it, then what does he want?
Soon Batman discovers that this peculiar Brusway En is ten times more trendy than he thought.
In the late autumn of November 1986, an unprecedented revolution broke out in Mexico.
It was not the self-proclaimed left-wing Mexican Revolutionary Party or the so-called democratic liberals who led the revolution, but all the peasants and workers of Mexico.
In true history, Mexicans have never lacked revolutionary spirit, and even in Latin America, which is known as the backyard of the United States, they have set off a fiery storm of anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolutions.
Although from the perspective of historical results, this revolution has not really changed the living situation of the people at the bottom due to the limitations of its time, but it proves that the people in this ancient land of many disasters have never been broken.
It is not the fault of wanting to live in peace and not wanting war, but when the vast majority of the people of this country can no longer survive because of the repeated oppression, there is no other choice but to rise up.
By this time, the revolutionaries and liberals, who had been fighting for the next election for a long time, had finally discovered the seriousness of the matter.
But it was too late.
Once the vigorous revolution on a national scale began, it was like the great plough of the times that swept over all the obstacles, and with the most suitable ideas for revolution as a weapon, the bloody storm over Central America only hovered for three months, and everything was settled.
On January 13, 1987, the National Palace of Mexico in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, telegraphed to the world to announce the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Mexico.
