Chapter 513: Victory Settles
After Pablo fell, the special forces surrounding him did not have the courage to step forward, until an officer carefully circled and saw that Pablo had really fallen to the ground, and then shouted.
"That guy is dead!"
Afterwards, the soldiers squeezed up and carefully watched the remains of this terrifying drug lord who had been arrogant in Colombia for more than a decade.
Pablo's death was extremely tragic, under the fire of dozens of automatic rifles, he was shot hundreds of times, there was not a single intact place on his body, one eye was missing, a large hole was opened in the back right of his head, and his hands combined were less than six fingers......
Because the death was so tragic that Virginia couldn't help but vomit when she came to identify the body, she still recognized Pablo for sure, after all, the two have been skin-to-skin for many years, and some privacy is naturally clear.
Afterwards, the soldiers sent Pablo's body to the truck, and washed the traces of the gunfight at the scene, and the bullet casings were also recovered, because this is a rich area, and the magnates will definitely complain afterwards, although Carrillo doesn't care, but his boss will definitely have a headache.
But now the Minister of the Interior has no chance to have a headache, because he is now happily going to report the matter to Garland, and everyone in the presidential residence looks like fools as the Minister of the Interior walks briskly, humming a little song step by step, and even he does not forget to smile and bow his head to everyone who passes by.
Although Garland had already learned about it on the phone, after all, he had personally deployed and authorized the operation, but he still asked the Minister of the Interior to show him a detailed report.
And when he got the twelve-page report, he was still a little shaky.
"He's really dead?"
"Yes, Mr. President, we have done several rounds of confirmation, including having his parents and family identify the body, medical evaluation, and detailed comparisons, and I can tell you responsibly that Pablo Escobar, the master of Medellín, was killed by our men four hours ago!"
"How's the press conference going?"
"It's almost there, I'm and the commander of the security forces will be in charge!"
"Well, our country has finally been eliminated from a major stubborn disease!"
This was followed by an extraordinarily large press conference in Colombia announcing the latest progress of the war on drugs.
For a time, the whole world knew the good news, and countless civilians who did not know the specific situation relished the beginning and end of the Medellín incident for a while, thinking that the collapse of this drug empire was a complete victory in the war on drugs.
The Colombian people feel that the drug problem that plagues the country seems to have been solved, and they do not have to worry about drugs poisoning their families and drug dealers threatening their lives.
As Shepard's special correspondent and columnist, Ninell even posted several reports on the war against Pablo, and she became a guest of many newspapers and media, and everyone wanted this insider who obviously knew more about the inside story to reveal more information.
But Ninell didn't continue, because most of what she reported was about the actions of the Colombian government army, and she didn't report on it, and these things were a double-edged sword for Shadow Company, because the rising national consciousness would not welcome a group with strong interference colors like Shadow Company in her country, not to mention that the war on drugs was just the beginning.
Medellín is followed by Cali, and after Cali there is Mexico, this kind of moment is too high-profile and very bad for the layout after that!
Compared with the jubilant Colombians, the mood of the top executives of the Shadow Company is not very good!
It's not that they're unhappy, everyone is happy about Pablo's death, after all, conscience hasn't completely disappeared, and the main reason why everyone is unhappy is that the U.S. government is a little too realistic, and the day after Pablo's death, they sent someone to make the final settlement of the expenses.
According to the contract signed between Shepard and the Consultant for American Affairs at the time, all of the Shadow Company's military expenses and material wear and tear were spent by the U.S. government and Colombia
Sanqi paid a total of 21 million to the Shadow Company, which did not include some military supplies, such as vehicles, guns and ammunition.
In other words, as long as the Shadow Company is still spending money in Colombia in the name of the war on drugs, then the bill is paid by the U.S. government, and now, as soon as Pablo dies, the father of the financier turns his face and denies people, and the company has to pay for its own profits and losses!
The Shadow Company's business in Colombia has not yet been fully rolled out, and it can be regarded as operating at the moment, that is, security and weapons sales, of which the security business is carried out at the latest, after Garland became president, it can be regarded as known to Colombia's wealthy officials.
However, although it started late, the security business is also very low, which means that the growth rate is very large, the professional training courses of shadow security, and those excellent employees are far more attractive to the rich, Colombia has a huge disparity between the rich and the poor, because of the perennial internal conflict, so the scale of weapons circulation is not small, so it is normal for those rich people not to raise some guards who take care of the home on weekdays, and the level of these guards is uneven, and the quality of personnel is even better, and an industry benchmark is urgently needed.
Shadow Security is naturally this benchmark, the company opened in the suburbs of Bogotá has only been in operation for less than half a year, and nearly a dozen stable customers have already signed up for security services, and those who send their own security personnel to training camps for formal training abound.
However, even so, these two expenses are still difficult to offset the deficit of daily expenses, and the Chargers' operating expenses alone are not low, so it is no wonder that Shepard and the other executives are happy.
For this reason, Shepard even made a special trip back to Washington, and also found an adviser on American affairs, trying to convince the other party that the collapse of the Medellín Bloc does not mean anything, and that Cali, which used to hide in the shadow of Medellín, the Northern Valley, and the Mexican drug lords who are also on the rise, are also very harmful, so the government should continue to pay the Shadow Company.
It's just that the result is unfortunate, and the consultant is not unaware of these harms, but the target at this stage is Medellín, that is, Pablo, so it is impossible to want the government to continue to make money.
"So, we can't continue to rub Uncle Sam's welfare?"
