Chapter 356: Old Fool
After three months of initial training, the contingent was left with less than 100 personnel, a rate of nearly 53 per cent.
After that, everyone who did not pass the selection had to go on to a new round of training, and those who passed had their graduation ceremony in a small hangar at Lampak Air Force Base.
"This is my first and only gift to you!"
Looking at the completed contingent soldiers, Primri pulled out a custom-made breathable hood from the box next to him, and said.
The mask is naturally used by the task force to protect their identity, after all, no one wants to be hated by drug dealers and cause their family and friends to be harmed, they have lost a lot of family and friends because of this in the past, and now they naturally attach great importance to this aspect.
After the mask was issued, Plumri took the initiative to retreat and handed over the next firing ceremony to Colonel Pike, who was the nominal supreme commander of the task force, and came down to Major Carrillo, but in fact, Colonel Pike was only responsible for wiping the task force's ass, and the actual operation was carried out by Major Carrillo, and his immediate boss was the Minister of the Interior.
In terms of training, the Minister of the Interior gave the task force the green light, the vehicles were guaranteed to be in place, and the ammunition was as much as it wanted, after all, it was better to let the task force fight than to let those things be resold to drug dealers.
As a result, the task force was pained to find that after graduation they were not relieved, but entered a quagmire again, and in addition to various physical and technical and tactical training, there were countless shooting drills every day, and the major once suspected that he had tinnitus, because he had fired four ammunition boxes in one day.
Fortunately, Lampak Air Force Base is on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by wasteland, and there are no people at all, otherwise there would have been people holding signs to protest against the disturbance of the people in this high-intensity shooting training.
At the same time, in Bogotá, the Minister of the Interior looked at the report from Colonel Pike at hand, and also breathed a sigh of air, and then came to the president's office with joy and excitement.
He had already made an appointment with the secretary to submit a report on the contingent in the other party's spare time, but in fact, the president himself knew about this report before, after all, he had to liaise with the Americans, so the Minister of the Interior could not be held responsible.
But the president, as an old fritter, even took the money of drug dealers to participate in the election, naturally knew this kind of thing, and was a little embarrassed for him, so he only vaguely coped with the instructions of the Minister of the Interior, so that when the army was formed, he could deal with the questions of those members of the National Assembly on the grounds that he was completely unaware of and that it was all handled by the Minister of the Interior himself.
After all, the president must always behave correctly in this position, but those members of Congress who have collected money from drug dealers are not needed, and they can even loudly promote the legalization of drugs when the parliament is in session.
Such legislators will naturally be angry at any government policies and measures related to drug traffickers, after all, their food and clothing parents are not ordinary people in Colombia, but drug traffickers.
And those congressmen and officials who have opposing views are the targets of these guys' attacks, and when a congressman once proposed legislation on drugs, his head was broken by the opponent with a leather shoe, and the outline of his bill was torn apart.
If the black police are protecting the existence of drug dealers from the social level, then these parliamentarians are defending drug dealers at the legal level.
And the president was taken aback when he learned that the task force had been formed and would soon be ready for mission.
"It's been less than five months since the plan was proposed, and it's ready to be implemented?"
"Yes, Mr. President, we hired professionals from the United States, who were very efficient and completed our plan in a very short time!"
"yes, that's great!"
The president coughed, then laughed meaninglessly.
"Now, we can crack down on those drug dealers!"
"Yes, so, regarding the contract, the Ministry of Finance has approved it, and I will accept it
Come down, it's time for you to sign!"
"Five-year 1 percent equity?"
The president, who has known the content of the contract for a long time, is still a little surprised when he sees the number on the contract, not that he is frightened by this number, in fact, the equity income of one percent in five years is not much different from the money that Columbia wanted to pay at the beginning, but Shepard wanted to change it to equity income in Colombia for a long time, and later Parker led a professional team to negotiate with the Ministry of Finance, and there was one more cut, which is also no way. After all, who made the butts of those few negotiators in the Treasury Department unclean, Parker found a local intelligence dealer and bought the other party's black material for only a few thousand dollars.
Then during the negotiations, the Treasury officials could only grit their teeth and watch Parker frantically cut meat from them like a devil who eats people and does not spit out bones.
Even while she was writing and drawing on the shares, she asked the other party with a smile, the country's money is not your own money, you are so saving, then our rebates will be saved?
These things, the president himself will definitely not know, he only knows, the Ministry of Finance told him that the money is very worth it, if you can, the next time you cooperate, please the other party, that's right!
Therefore, in a certain way, the president does not have any opinion on the contract, but it is still the same sentence, he wants to do his best not to offend people in this position, especially those drug dealers, what is the drug dealer out of control like, the president also knows, so he only wants stability, and he does not want to be attacked because of this bill that will be submitted to the parliament for consideration later.
The Minister of the Interior sighed silently, and then said that he was responsible for all the consequences of this bill, and the president took out a pen and signed his name without hurrying.
"Ney, I'm doing this for the sake of the country!"
"I understand, Mr. President!"
The Minister of the Interior nodded expressionlessly, and then submitted another report, which was compiled by the Minister of Justice with him, on which was the latest movement of the Medellín group, that is, the head of the drug lord empire, Pablo himself, wanted to enter politics.
Even when the president saw this report, he couldn't help but gasp.
"That guy, you still want to go into politics?"
"To be exact, he wants to be president!"
