"Regarding financial settlements, we don't want direct settlements in dollars!"

"I've heard that you want equity income from the Lulaias Oilfield, and your company's appetite seems to be a little too big!"

The Rulaias oil field is currently the largest oil field operated by Colombia's state-owned oil company, and the crude oil extracted is an important foreign exchange income of the Colombian government.

"Mr. Minister, we have always eaten according to how much appetite we eat, you can look at the resume of the Shadow Company in recent years, every operation we have been successful in Africa, whether it is Angola, or Comoros, Rhodesia, there are witnesses of our achievements everywhere, so I think my people deserve this price!"

Naturally, the Minister of the Interior has also seen the information about the Shadow Company for a long time, and Shepard's Shadow Company can't even be called a company now, but a rather large enterprise, and the explosion-proof wall produced by their engineering subsidiary has now been won by NATO, in addition to the security subsidiary, which is also involved in arms manufacturing, which is enough to show the strength of the other party.

"But we don't know if your people will be able to complete the mission?"

"It's very simple, the contract is negotiated, and my people can work right away!"

"No, you have to prove that you have the strength before we can let go!"

"Loosen your mouth, let's get to work!"

"You work, let's relax!"

The one percent income of the Lulaias oil field is actually not too much, although oil extraction is also a profiteering industry, but the high-end value of this industrial chain is grabbed by European and American oil companies, and the reason for exploitation is to be transported to the factory controlled by the other party for subsequent production, including refining, separation, transportation or something, but it is a state-owned enterprise after all, and it is not easy to explain to all aspects if you take a little bit out casually.

Although the Minister of the Interior did not care about that thing in the slightest, it was not his final say in the matter after all, and it was up to the Ministry of Finance and the President to decide.

Therefore, the minister could only play haha like this first, until he was impatient with Shepard, he relented, and said that at least he had to look at the specific performance of the Shadow Company first, and if he could really make a difference, he would also help in terms of equity.

"If that's the case, well!"

Shepard knew that if he pushed on, there was no other way, the latter's position was there, and that was what he could do, the bread of the Shadow Company had to be fought for by the Shadow Company itself with a sword!

Shepard then discussed the establishment and base of the operation with the Minister of the Interior, who generously contributed to the Lampak Air Base on the outskirts of Bogotá.

Anyway, the Colombian Air Force is not large, and there are currently less than 30 aircraft, of which there are only a dozen combat models, so the air base is very empty, and most importantly, because of the particularity of the military branches, at least the relationship between the air base and drug traffickers is not deep, and training there is conducive to secrecy.

In fact, in terms of the degree of leakage within the Colombian government, this new troop training program was sent to the giants of the Medellín drug cartel even before Shepard arrived in Colombia.

But for a group of drug lords who control a huge empire, it is all false to start from scratch to train a unit, and the army is also composed of people, only a few hundred people, what kind of climate can there be, even if the Americans are invited to train, what can they do, they can still kill all their subordinates with one enemy and one hundred?

Therefore, in the eyes of drug lords, the threat of this project is not as good as another piece of information about the activities of the US Drug Enforcement Administration, and the drug enforcement agents who cannot be beaten or touched but can fly around and annoy them like flies are the most troublesome.

These guys unceremoniously spied around on the intelligence related to them, and even tracked and listened to the whereabouts and conversation records of the drug cartels, if it was an ordinary Colombian policeman, then the other party's head would have been hung on the billboard with his family, but the other party was an American!

The drug lords have a very clear understanding,

It's okay for them to dominate Latin America in Colombia, but not in the United States, so they will also order their subordinates not to have anything to do with the Americans, let alone physically eliminate them, because this will avoid irritating the Americans.

However, this kind of delaying tactics will not last, and the US government has made it clear that it wants to find trouble with the drug lords, so the latter's retreat is like a spring, and if it continues to be compressed, it will sooner or later bottom out, and at that time, it will be time for the two sides to tear their faces and go to war.

But the limit is far from being reached, so Pablo did not pay the slightest attention to the whimsical ideas of the Minister of the Interior, because there was more important business to do for him at the moment.

That's politics!

That's right, the boss of the Medellín Group has a presidential dream, because he donates money to his hometown to build a hospital and build a school on weekdays, Pablo successfully packaged himself from a drug lord to a promising businessman who made a fortune by driving a taxi, as a successful person, it is natural to continue to climb up, but at the moment Pablo, who has burned a lot of money, doesn't care about making money at all, he wants power and fame.

And what better way to gain power and fame in Colombia than to be an official?

Of course, officials are not said to be able to be in office, although Colombian officials are greedy, but they are not stupid, it is simply unrealistic to let Pablo enter the house, not to mention whether the people agree or not, Colombia will become a joke in the world.

Therefore, Pablo's plan is to find a party to mix in first, and then buy people's hearts and votes by throwing coins like crazy, step by step, first as a substitute for parliamentarians or something, and then as a congressman and then run for election!

And the most important thing is that other congressmen have to pay for the election of their own parties, but Pablo is ready to be promised to accept his own party to pay for it, after all, in Colombia, for him, if there is something that money can't do, it must be not enough money, one million is not enough for two million, two million is not enough for three million, as a rich man who can earn 60 million dollars a day, those small expenses Pablo doesn't care at all!

If he didn't know anything about how to form a political party, Pablo even planned to use money to make a whole one for himself, but this trick obviously didn't work, so Pablo's eyes were on the Liberal Party that was in power!
