In the 60s of the last century, Colombia was one of the most chaotic countries in the world, and in the context of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Colombia has not been able to escape the plague of civil war, which became more complicated after the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. This is not only because of the country's geographical location, where the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, have cultivated their own spokesmen, but also because of Colombia's special geography.

Colombia has a mountainous border, almost half of the country is mountainous, coupled with dense rainforests, it can be said that this is a paradise for guerrilla warfare, which can be attacked and defended, plus a torn society and a divided land, so here, just like the period of a certain big country to suppress bandits, there are many colonels and regimental commanders like dogs, and commanders and generals are everywhere.

Here, all kinds of armed forces emerge in endlessly, but unfortunately, a big country can clean up millions of bandits, but the Colombian government cannot, although the government has the most powerful strength, but it can't completely eradicate the *** forces, and on the contrary, the armed forces can't get the government, and the two sides can only repeatedly tug at this point.

And no matter what kind of war, the cost will not be small, although Colombia is rich in oil and gas gem resources, but for the armed forces without an industrial base, mining this thing is simply unrealistic, and compared to Africa, the passage of South American rainforests is worse, even if it is mined, it cannot be transported, let alone sold for money.

And because the guerrillas have to move positions from time to time, industrial facilities cannot be taken away at all, so is it difficult to leave the equipment behind when the government forces clean it up?

With such a huge demand for funds, the armed forces are naturally full of tricks, from drug trafficking to ticket kidnapping to extortion, and even direct taxation to locals.

It can be said that in order to grab the war funds, they tried everything they could.

But kidnapping and extortion can't be done often, after all, there are only a few fat sheep in the local area, and when you are a fat sheep in the war-torn area, everyone also has a background, plus a lot of *** armed forces like to kill hostages, kidnapping and extortion, the wealth that can be obtained, that's it, as for tax collection, Colombia's farmers have low incomes, even if they scrape the land clean, that's it, so the drugs with high returns, quick results, and low investment have naturally become the first choice for armed forces to obtain wealth.

And the local farmers will also be hired by the armed forces to plant, pick, in this process, the farmers will be more and more entangled because of the income and the armed forces, until finally they must rely on them to survive, and correspondingly, the local people who take money from the armed forces to get jobs will also become their supporters, and even join them.

As for the harvested drugs, it is natural to find a place to sell them, and it is self-evident where the largest consumer market is in the world.

As the world's superpower, the consumption power of the United States is very amazing, no matter how many goods are shipped, they can be quickly digested, and then, there is a steady stream of wealth!

Tens of billions of dollars flow to the source of production, and then a significant portion of that money is turned into iterative products, sent back in larger quantities, and then exchanged for more money.

Of course, if it were just simple drug smuggling, then the eyes of the United States would not necessarily be on this place, because at the same time or even earlier, the source of drugs that occupied the American market was Asia.

During the Vietnam War, the U.S. team had a close connection with drugs, and the routes that came and went directly broke through the barriers between the two sides, coupled with the disgraceful color played by the CIA in it, it can be said that the drug problem has developed to the present, and the credit of the inner ghost is indispensable!

And since 1979, the bloody murders in Miami have really drawn the attention of the United States to Latin America's problems, because the horrific killings of drug cartels as they compete for markets are exaggerated.

Not only is the number as high as five or six hundred a year, but the impact is also very bad, because these drug cartels will use firearms in downtown areas in broad daylight, in addition, there are many exterminations and skinning tragedies, because in order to deter their opponents, drug cartels will use very extreme methods to make the other party feel afraid and retreat.

And the root cause of all this is the emergence of a super cocaine empire in Colombia, which can also be said to be the first super cocaine empire in Latin America, which is commonly known as the Medellín drug cartel.

And its founder is none other than the famous Pablo Escobar!

This super drug lord born on the street had a very rough childhood, and became a professional killer at a young age because of livelihood problems, and the American mafia boss Alcapone was his idol, and in order to chase stars, he even bought a bulletproof car used by the other party.

But as an adult, Pablo soon found his way to fortune by relying on his keen insight, and he turned simple cocaine production directly into an export trade, and his personal wealth alone amounted to three billion dollars!

And in addition to the huge wealth, the Medellín Group has an armed force of 40,000 people!

That's right, it's an armed force of 40,000 people, although the actual combat effectiveness of these people is just like that, but this huge scale is enough to give the government army a headache, and in addition to light equipment, there are helicopter rocket launchers, and even shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles and air-to-air missiles!

It can be said that instead of calling Medellín a drug cartel, it is better to say that he is an armed separatist group, in fact, the two are not too different, and in addition to these forces, Pablo also raises countless professional killers, these people are the judges who maintain his vast empire, purge competitors, assassinate anti-narcotics police and judges, only you can't think of it, there is nothing they dare not do!

In addition to all this, Pablo also bribed the police and the army, and his men would walk into the police station with sacks full of banknotes, and if the police cooperated, then they could get a lot of money, but if they didn't, there was only a dead end.

In addition, he also built infrastructure in his hometown, built water and electricity, opened schools and hospitals, and even paid money directly in the streets and alleys, for the enemy, Pablo was a demon, a cruel and ruthless executioner, but for the father and villagers in his hometown, Pablo became an angel and a saint.

And now, this famous drug lord has become a thorn in the side of the Americans, and they want to get rid of it quickly.

In order to take down this big drug lord, the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also formulated a plan, but it was a little difficult to implement, because the plan was to arrest Pablo and then extradite him to the United States, and in fact, at present, they can't even take the first step!
