Chapter 365: Shallow Foundation

Shepard's main reason for eyeing Carlos Red may be that the other party owns the reef, although the reef is pitifully small, and a kilometer-long airport runway occupies most of the island, but even so, Shepard is still very unhappy.

"What grade do you dare to occupy an island like me?"

The Shadow Company did not even dare to occupy the Comoros openly, but only stationed on the large Comorian island of the Comoros by various economic means and other means, and even in order not to provoke the Comoros government, Shepard did not deploy combat troops at all, only training camps, those who had newly joined the company, and outsiders who had purchased relevant business training.

But Carlos is much more arrogant than him, after leasing territory for his empire, he overhauled the construction on the island, in order to facilitate the bombing of the United States, Carlos Red spent a lot of money to build a luxurious runway on the island, and even through unknown means, spent a lot of money to buy a military radar to install on the airport.

In addition, he hired hundreds of mercenaries to patrol the island day and night, and dozens of pilots were in order to serve, including a professional pilot who came to work for Carlos because of salary problems.

In addition, Carlos Rader designated the reef and the surrounding waters as a military exclusion zone, and anyone who trespassed would be met with head-on attack by the Fourth Reich Wehrmacht.

Such an arrogant move was known to the American side even earlier, but for some reason, no one even cared, and they didn't even give the Bahamian government a question.

While all eyes were on Pablo, Shepard had noticed the head of the empire early on, especially now that the Colombian side was not making good progress due to various problems, so why not find another way and change the target?

Shepard read a lot of papers overnight and made a detailed report, and then slept with Parker in his arms until three o'clock in the morning, and then he sent the report to Morgan.

The Department of Inter-American Affairs has always been Morgan's sphere of influence, but for Morgan, left-wing guerrillas active in Latin America are the top priority of his work, but the growing drug problem after President Reagan took office and the huge interests behind it have also made Morgan himself eager to intervene in it.

On the issue of Colombia, the CIA had communicated with the DEA, but the latter relied on his own professionalism and took the lead quite strongly, so the CIA's investment in Colombia was almost pitiful, and if the shadow company was removed, there were only a few teams, and these teams were more often monitoring the Soviet forces in Colombia in addition to providing surveillance intelligence for the DEA.

But now on Carlos Red's side, Shepard just sent Morgan a rather advantageous insertion, after all, in a way, Carlos Red's Caribbean airway involves national security.

Because these drug dealers can rely on this route to transport drugs in without knowing it, then naturally they can also send something else in, if it is a weapon bomb or something, it is better to say, if it is like the Mariel incident carried out by Castro, then it will be a lot of fun.

In 1980, Castro, who has always been at odds with the United States, made a big news, he sent all the 150,000 prisoners in Cuba to Miami, and overnight, Miami was turned upside down, the law and order deteriorated, and the health was bad. The beach in front of them was full of all kinds of old ink and black, so that the blood and sweat of their ancestors to fight for the land of the Indians were in vain.

And the entire Latin American region has more displaced people due to various problems of economic war, and if these people also pour into the United States through the Caribbean, and other countries do not learn from Cuba, then it will be really fun!

So, it would be good to get Carlos Red first.

"But can you tell me why you picked this guy to strike first, not Pablo?"

In Morgan's office, Shepard and the old man were enjoying the massage couch in an almost reclining position, chatting about how to do it

The reason for a drug lord to be determined and then confiscated all the assets of the other party.

"It's very simple, this guy's foundation is too shallow!"

Carlos Rader has indeed amassed a fortune from his fleet of airplanes, and has built a seemingly massive drug nation out of it, but he doesn't have his own territory and followers in Colombia like the other big three in Medellín, in other words, deep circuits.

To put it mildly, even if the United States sends troops into Colombia and Pablo to go to war now, the latter can rely on the hearts of the people he bought with his wealth to hide for a long time, and there is a place to hide, but Carlos Red is different, his roots are Berlin in the Americas, and this small island is his foothold.

Therefore, taking this small island, then Red's foundation is equivalent to being cut off, and the Caribbean route he relies on is the capital that he can be among the Big Four in the Medellín Group, once the route is cut off, it is unknown whether he can cover his position in the Medellín Group.

Don't think that the drug lord leaders can sit together and drink wine and eat meat because they really think that they have a good relationship, in fact, because of the issue of interests, everyone privately wants to kill their peers, and the reason why they can sit together and chat is because everyone has similar forces, if a conflict breaks out, there is no possibility of a quick victory, plus the forces of all parties check and balance each other, so they will sit together for benefit distribution.

It's like dancing on three eggs, once something goes wrong with an egg, resulting in an imbalance in the relationship, then other forces are happy to eat you up, and when the time comes, it is already considered the benevolence of the other party to be able to keep a living mouth, and the kind of thing that kills and kills everything and eliminates future troubles abounds.

And in doing so, it will also make the drug lords more wary of each other, and everyone will not be as close as they used to be, and if they want to do something else, it will be easier!

And the last point, which is the most irrelevant point, is to cut off this line, which can prevent a large number of drugs from entering the United States, which is conducive to the health of the people, but this point is just talking, for the CIA, the drug problem is not a problem at all, but the huge wealth is the problem!
