Chapter 352: Ministerial Meeting

The composition of the Colombian government is the same as that of most parliamentary states, with a presidential republic, following the principle of separation of powers, and the Congress is composed of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, which serve a four-year term.

The current president's name is Hu Otula, and he is a representative of the Liberal Party, and this party is a pro-American party as you can tell by its name, and of course, in fact, if it is not pro-American, it will not be able to enter the Colombian government, because the pro-Soviet people are still fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains.

Although the position is pro-American, in reality, the Liberal Party in power has no effect on Colombia, because what was in the past is still what is here now.

Before the Liberal Party was able to win the election, the main reason was that the campaign slogan was very tempting, they said that they wanted to develop the economy, eradicate poverty, provide medical security and the like, and most importantly, to crack down on drug trafficking organizations, and after coming to power, the Liberal Party opened the market to American companies, but the economic development is still like that, the hospital promised to be built for citizens is still a wasteland, and most importantly, the so-called crackdown on drug traffickers has become a brother and sister to officials and drug dealers in the end, and even sleepless nights in nightclubs.

Therefore, the public's support for the Liberal Party has plummeted, and if nothing else, the Liberal Party will lose in the next general election.

Of course, the Liberal Party, as a big political party, is not all wine bags and rice bags, although a considerable number of people are good brothers of drug lords, but there are also some staunch anti-drug factions, they refuse bribes, ignore threats, and unswervingly pursue their own anti-drug policy, among them, led by Colombia's Minister of Justice and Minister of the Interior.

The so-called organization of a completely new team is also proposed by the Minister of Justice!

Before the Americans intervened, the attorney general organized a number of searches and raids against drug dealers, but these operations all failed without exception.

The attorney general, who had come to meet with Shepard, smoked a cigar and shook his head at the unscrupulous cops.

"How rampant are those drug dealers, they will report the names of everyone in the police station, their home addresses, and how many people, and then they will stuff a stack of bills, and some of them will even act as the eyes and ears of the other party, and if there is a military operation against them, those guys will immediately reveal it to the other party!"

"Then isn't there anyone here who dares to confront drug dealers openly?"

Shepard took a sip of slightly bitter coffee and asked.

"Yes, but they!"

The attorney general shook his head, then said in a rather helpless tone.

"I have a lot of such people, but unfortunately, some of them are dead, and some of them have been transferred to other positions by me, and that's all I can do!"

"I see!"

Shepard nodded, then said.

"Can you give me a copy of the list of these people, I think they will be happy to join if they are really willing to fight the drug dealers to the end!"

"It's natural, I'm ready, by the way, this is my head of security, called Ruth! He's one of them!"

The minister took the document and introduced a middle-aged man standing behind him, who bowed slightly at Shepard, even if he had said hello.

"Your security supervisor is gone! He's also responsible for your safety!"

"My safety doesn't matter anymore, my family was sent to the United States by me, which is why I dare to fight them to the end!"

After talking to the attorney general about the requirements and other processes, Shepard went to meet with the interior minister, who directly manages the security force and was a former war veteran.

Therefore, when referring to the stubborn illness of the ranks, the Minister of the Interior was equally unhappy.

"This country simply doesn't have the courage and courage to fight an outright war with drug dealers, and others think that as long as it looks stable, who cares what's behind the glamour?"

"Did you know that last year alone, Colombia killed 420 police officers, and only a small percentage of them were fighting guerrillas?

The rest were all assassinated by drug dealers, just because they would seize the vehicles involved in the drug dealers and refuse the bribes of the drug dealers!"

As he spoke, the Minister of the Interior threw out a newspaper that said that a family of 14 died in one night, and even the house was burned to the ground.

"This is a police lieutenant, he seized twenty kilograms of goods from a drug dealer, and then also arrested the drug dealer who came to bribe him, which completely annoyed the other party, and then, they sent out killers, killed all the men in his family, and all the women ***, and then dragged the other person's naked body around the back of the car and paraded the streets, this lieutenant was gouged out and his limbs were broken, and those guys did it all in front of him!"

The Minister of the Interior said through gritted teeth.

Even the lieutenant had just received the medal from the minister on the night he had just received it, and the medal that the minister had given to the other party had been wiped clean afterwards and hung on the burnt corpse, which was such a blatant provocation, but the minister could not do anything at all.

He sent people to try to find out the truth, and the drug lord was also very cooperative, casually asked his people to investigate there, but nothing could be found, all clues were wiped clean, and even in order to make a difference afterwards, and in order to give the minister an explanation, the drug dealer even took the initiative to send two so-called murderers, both of whom were young people in their twenties who were poor and difficult to make a living, and stood up for the money of the drug lord!

And the most disgusting thing is that these guys retracted their confessions on the spot in court, so that the lawyer invited by the drug lord fished them out intact!

After all, the salary paid by the government to its subordinates is not even more than one-tenth of what the drug lords reward them, and the stick and carrot are very effective means of taming, relying on this trick, there seems to be no pure land in the whole of Colombia, whether it is the police force or the military, it is involved!

And after Shepard and the two ministers met, he also had a clear understanding of the current difficulty of the Shadow Company's work, but he didn't think there was anything tricky about it, after all, Colombians want to see the face of drug lords, but he didn't need to, not to mention anything else, just with the identity of Americans, even those agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Colombian drug lords didn't dare to do anything excessive before completely tearing their faces.

"Now, let's talk about fees!"
