Chapter 480: The Brave

The presidential candidate, Garland, is not desperate to fight drug dealers to the death for the sake of votes, and it can be said that he has been promoting his anti-drug ideas since he was young.

Garland was a radical progressive when he was a student, and at the age of thirteen he was put in a cell by the police for 24 hours for protesting against the then president's authoritarian regime.

And this short dragon field enlightenment did not intimidate the other party at all, and even let Garland choose law in his subsequent studies, and also obtained a doctorate degree in law.

Later, he served as Minister of Education, Ambassador to Foreign Countries, etc.

Later, he became a columnist for a newspaper and became a city councilor.

Colombia's drug problem was very serious when he was still the Minister of Education, and Garland made many efforts to achieve this, such as developing rural education and promoting university reform, but his efforts were completely a drop in the bucket for the current state of the country.

After officially participating in the election, Garland has been widely praised for his policies such as boosting national income and anti-narcotics, and his approval rating has risen, but his opponents are all running on behalf of his party, and he has parted ways with his past party, so he has not been able to open up the gap with his opponent.

But now, the situation is different, three assassinations in a row make public opinion boil, after all, the identity of the deceased is simply not too sensitive, the position of the chief justice of this country is fixed, a total of fifteen, and then two died in two days, and some innocent passers-by, and then a colonel of the government army, the death of these extraordinary people in the eyes of ordinary civilians made them feel panic, because these people have guards around them, but they still can't stop anything.

In addition, there is the fight between Los Pepez and Medellín, both sides now choose to target each other's soft underbelly, family, friends, these ordinary people who are related to the members of the group have become the target of each other's anger, almost every day in Colombia can hear shootings and bombings, even Pablo's wife and children were attacked, the people of Los Pepez threw homemade bombs at the villa where his wife and children stayed, although there were no casualties, but it damaged the hearing of Pablo's youngest daughter, This caused Pablo to enter a state of demonic confusion as well.

A week after the death of the colonel of the prison, another magistrate was attacked, and he received death threats for trying a drug dealer in Medellín, and then the police immediately arrived to try to protect him, but the killer in Medellín took the judge's wife anyway, and the policeman in charge of protecting his wife was shot in the head with a shotgun, and the brains and bones sprayed an entire wall.

Then, the judge received his wife's underwear, bloody underwear, and when his wife was found, it was five days later, and several children playing in the river found her body floating in the river.

And this judge was not spared, Pablo's henchman Poison personally went out and created a fire in the judge's hiding place, and then when several people escaped from the fire, several killers of Poison River raised their submachine guns and killed the judge and the police on the street.

He called on people with a conscience to stand up and bravely say no to drug traffickers, a positive and healthy country does not need these drug trafficking groups, and even Garland took the initiative to say that the extradition treaty between the United States and Colombia is a very effective means.

Because what the drug lord is afraid of is being extradited to the United States, if he comes to power, he will spare no effort to implement the extradition treaty.

Garland's words made Pablo furious, and he tried so hard to create panic in order to force the government to abandon the extradition treaty, even if they had been in prison in Colombia earlier, they would have lived well, but in the United States, that is not necessarily the case.

If he hadn't threatened the justice, then Orgeoya himself would have been extradited to the United States, so, at this juncture, whoever dares to mention an extradition treaty is a dead end!

So, Garland immediately got on Pablo's assassination list, and he was still in first place!

But even so, Garland still did not back down, and even prepared to make his first election success speech,

Even for this preaching, he didn't plan to carry security.

However, this idea was eventually discouraged by the persuasion of others, and Pablo was full of respect for this brave man, not only because of his performance, but also because the Colombian government and the U.S. government gave the Shadow Company a $5 million grant to take charge of Garland's security.

This amount of money is naturally not a small number for Shepard, to be exact, a figure of more than a hundred dollars is not a small number for him, so the business that should be accepted is naturally to be accepted.

After all, having a good cooperative relationship with the Colombian top management is also very helpful for the Shadow Company's business development here.

A team of VIP security services from the United States soon arrived at Garland's home and quickly took over security.

As soon as they got to work, the security team immediately inquired about Garland's schedule, as they were trained to prioritize risk screening.

Then they got a response from Secretary Garland, who was going to give his first public speech since his recent election success.

After copying Garland's schedule, the security team also gave Shepard a copy, and when the latter learned that Garland was going to hold a public speech, he finally remembered one thing, that is, Garland himself was assassinated by the killers of the Medellín Group during this speech.

"Can you find a way to convince the other party not to give this speech?"

"I'm afraid this won't work, this speech has been in preparation for a long time, and it can't be canceled!"

"Can't you go and persuade?"

"The CIA isn't as good as you think, and that Mr. Garland won't eat us at all!"

"What if someone assassinates someone at the speech? You're just watching us lose the five million?"

"Then you can't think of a way to protect each other?"

In the face of Shepard's warning, the head of the CIA, who is also an old friend, Agent Raza rolled his eyes, it was not them who collected the money, why did they have to worry about the safety of the only presidential candidate?

"Otherwise, if something happens to the other party, how can you find *** who is willing to cooperate with the United States?"
