Chapter 386: Wavering
Shepard's plane has not yet responded, but the Colombian side is in a hurry to make a move, because the Medellín group has offered a high reward for the police, and in Bogotá alone, 27 police officers died in a week.
Moreover, these policemen were not sacrificed in the line of duty, most of them were patrolling and standing guard, and were suddenly shot and killed by passers-by on the side of the street.
The small Ingram AC10 submachine gun was hidden under the clothes of these people, and the bullets could be fired from their backs or some dark corner without the main police officers noticing.
And these people who did it weren't even all drug dealers, there were also some ordinary gang gangsters who killed people purely for the bounty.
For a time, all the police officers in Colombia were in danger, and those who went out on duty even wanted to put a layer of steel on themselves, and they walked on the road suspecting that anyone could be the killer who killed them, and the military police in a state of high tension even made several incidents of accidental shooting.
In order to combat the arrogance of the other party, the agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration, after a full week of hard work with Pablo's accountant, finally vomited out a place, which is a processing plant in the city of Quibdo, one hundred and seventy kilometers west of Medellín, which is considered an important pillar of Medellín, employing nearly 500 workers to produce cocaine here day and night, and the output can even reach dozens of tons a week!
Although this amount may not seem like much, the amount of digestion in Washington, D.C. is only about two tons a week, which means that the goods in this factory are enough to supply the sales of ten Washington, D.C.
Knocking out this processing plant may not have a fatal effect on Pablo, but it is enough to make him feel pain, and Kibdo is Pablo's territory, and it is only more than a hundred kilometers away from Medellín, where he made his fortune, and it is also a deterrent to the Medellín group.
Because of the stakes, the CIA deservedly took command of the operation, of course, nominally a joint operation, the Colombian side would dispatch about 300 police and task forces, plus the two DEA teams in Colombia with a total of 20 people, and the two detachments of the Shadow Company, adding up to 700 people, and this is not counting the air force and logistics personnel who will be dispatched.
Because Colonel Pike is no longer alive, the Colombian Minister of the Interior recommended a major general named Antonio to come and command all the Colombian military police, this major general is not tall, only one meter six, with a white beard, it looks unattractive, but he has a high prestige in the army, because he is also a resolute supporter of anti-narcotics, so he usually does not have a good relationship with his colleagues, if it were not for the proposal of the Minister of the Interior, this major general Antonio may still be commanding his troops and guerrillas in the mountains to hide and seek.
And even if he was transferred to fight drug dealers, the major general still didn't have a good face, because he had to cooperate with the Americans, but after chatting with Hannibal, who had also been on the battlefield, the other party's face improved a lot.
"But that doesn't mean I agree with you and your men, Mr. Hannibal!"
"No problem, Your Excellency!"
The two sides intensively formed a joint operations command, and then obtained an aerial view of the factory taken by satellite.
Because of the importance of the factory, the Medellín Group has built the factory in a mountain col, almost 30 kilometers from the city, and every day the Medellín Group sends dozens of buses to and from the city and the factory, as well as the nearby settlements, to transport the workers in the factory.
There are also many armed guards and mercenaries stationed outside the factory, at least more than 100 people, and Pablo has recently sent a lot more men here.
There are also mercenaries stationed in Medellín on several roads leading to the processing plant, and there is even a small town nearby, which is full of armed drug traffickers.
It can be said that in this area of Medellín and in the vicinity, the real ruling apparatus has long since become the Medellín group, and the presence of the Colombian government here is worthless, whether it is a government agency or a policeman, they have long been smashed into their own people by large sums of black money, so the operation has not been notified to any military and police units in this area, because the Minister of the Interior knows that this place cannot be trusted from the grassroots police to the top level.
But I want to get rid of them
Except for the police force, the treatment is not good, if you use some harsh measures, it is possible for these guys to change jobs on the spot as soon as they take off their clothes. You must know that there are many former military police officers in the Medellín group, whose military skills are very popular among drug dealers, and those professional mercenaries who Pablo has spent a lot of money to hire to train his army.
Therefore, these police Columbian government must not do any tough measures, but must try its best to appease, just like the old saying, first recruit peace, then knight, and finally set up.
And the whole of Colombia is similar to the number of people, to put it mildly, eighty percent of the country's government officials, the media, and the police are taking advantage of drug dealers, which is why the Minister of the Interior would rather let Americans come in to help, because there are too few people who can trust inside, and the current president is also a wall-riding faction, on the one hand, relying on drugs to collect a lot of taxes, and on the other hand, he wants to suppress drug dealers.
But now that the situation has improved, the war between the Medellín and the government is bound to cause a large number of neutrals to jump to the side of the government, if nothing else, because of the cruel methods chosen by the Medellín bloc for its own benefit.
The first thing to do is to draw a line with the other party, that is, the police who have been rewarded by the Medellín group, in the past they were reluctant to provoke drug dealers, but now, even if they do nothing, they may still be killed, which makes a large part of the police stand against drug dealers.
But Pablo doesn't care about this, now he just wants to tell everyone that his cocaine empire is the king of this land, in the past, he wanted to lead the people out of suffering as a savior, towards a new road to riches, but was ruthlessly trampled, so now, he has only one choice!
A road of violence and violence, using death and flames to tell the Colombian government that offending himself will not end well, and then using massive drug dumping to tell the United States that he is not easy to provoke, but Pablo feels that if he is armed into a hedgehog, the other party will have no way to start, but what he doesn't know is that even if he is armed with a hedgehog, damn people, he still has to die, after all, with the air force, he can do whatever he wants.
