Latin rap music plays in the room, and in the shaking camera, a rusty trumpet axe sits on a blood-stained wooden table, and the photographer picks it up and points the camera at him, revealing his tattooed face.

"Mexican people, remember. Only Andrés Doza can protect you from foreign aggression. ”

Then the camera pans to a white man kneeling on the ground, and the next moment, the axe swings down, chopping off half of the man's palm.

"Ahh The screams echoed in the small conference room, and everyone's faces sank, even the cynical smile on Sonny Quinn's face, who had been grinning a toothpick all the time, was gone.

The camera kept shaking, the cruel torture continued, and after 5 minutes, seeing that many people couldn't bear to lower their heads, feeling that the heat was almost over, Jack turned off the video.

"The total length of this video is thirty minutes." He just added a few words and returned to his seat.

The air in the conference room seemed to freeze, as long as a person of normal mind saw this cruel picture, a feeling of sadness and sadness would arise in some cases.

What's more, the victim is a DEA agent, and the people present are all Americans, which is inevitably reminiscent of the Camorella incident that shocked the world in the 80s of the last century.

Camorella is not a place, but a name, and what happened to him is a thorn in the heart of all Americans who still have a conscience.

Back in 1974, shortly after the DEA was founded, a Mexican-American Marine named Chichi Camorella volunteered to be recruited.

Camorella, who spent his childhood in Mexico, suffered from drug addiction and has been on the front lines of drug control since joining the DEA, doing a good job but also desperately, because he found that fighting drug traffickers only in the federal territory is a complete palliative treatment.

He believed that if he didn't destroy the source, new drug dealers would pop up like gophers, so in 1980, Camorella resolutely applied to his superiors and transferred to the DEA's office in Guadalajara, Mexico.

In Mexico at that time, the drug cartels were still changing from the old-fashioned "socially based farmer groups" to the modern model of "massacres using military methods and employing economists and lawyers to cover up".

Guadalajara was the largest drug distribution center in Mexico at that time, with various powers, like Jerusalem in the drug kingdom.

At this time, the Guadalajara drug cartel had not yet been divided, and it was at the height of the day that even the then president of Mexico was bought by the cartel and became their patron.

And Camorella, who was the head of the iron, relied on his own strength to tear a hole in this iron curtain.

In the 80s, when the good guy "Carter" had just stepped down and the "actor" president came to power, the federal government set off a wave of strict drug control, and it took Camorella four years to hand over a detailed piece of evidence including photos, transportation routes, and transaction methods.

In the face of federal pressure, the Mexican authorities had no choice but to intervene, and more than 400 soldiers fell from the sky to raid the "Buffalo Ranch", which is claimed to have an annual output value of 8 billion US dollars, and burned thousands of hectares of its large fields.

Then a drug smuggling plane from Guadalajara to Arizona was intercepted, the 0.7-ton cocaine was confiscated, and the Mexican drug lords in charge of the transportation had to pay more than $100 million in compensation to the Colombians.

The angry Guadalajara drug cartel had already hooked up with the CIA at that time, and it was the most obvious time that it immediately killed the Americans living in Guadalajara without any scruples.

Within a month, seven Americans had been arrested, tortured and tortured to death, and just as they had no clue, some members of the C.I.A., who had also suffered as a result, intervened.

Someone in the C.I.A. betrayed Camorella to the Guadalajara syndicate, and there were even rumors that a CIA agent was personally involved in the plot to trick him out of the consulate.

What followed was a brutal 36-hour ordeal in which a personal physician named Humberto was involved, who injected him with large doses of amphetamine at regular intervals to keep him awake.

A month later, Camorella's body was found on a highway in Michoacán, with the skin of his entire lower body stripped of all of his body, no teeth left, and a deformed skull, including his ribs, almost all of which were intact.

The fatal wound was a long steel nail on the top of his head, which the medical examiner's autopsy report showed that the steel nail was hammered into the top of his head little by little, and judging by the horrific amphetamine content in Camorella's body, he was in a state of consciousness, forced to hold on to the last moment of his life in endless pain.

At the time, the CIA's involvement was unknown, but when Camorella's autopsy report was reported back to the federal media, the whole world was shocked.

Reagan, the "actor" who couldn't hold his face, immediately put pressure on the CIA, and some people were forced to hand over the entire recording of Camorella's violence, which became the key evidence for the conviction of the Lahera Cartel group.

The federal government then issued an ultimatum to Mexico to bring all those involved to justice, and Mexican officials were aware of the current situation and arrested the three leaders of the Guadalajara group, Rafael Carlo Quintero, Ernesto Fonseca, and Miguel Felix.

But under the money offensive, the Mexican government miraculously withstood the pressure of the Federation, and all of these drug lords were sentenced to long prison terms, and they were released from prison for more than a decade, but the Guadalajara group collapsed and the "elf" Guzmán rose with it, which is another story.

There have been many secrets, either open or still unknown, such as the disgraceful role played by the CIA, the almost open protection of drug lords by Mexican officials, and the equally unclean mess within the DEA.

So when Jack saw this video, he had a clearer understanding of why he was here.

Obviously, once this video is exposed to the media, it is bound to cause an uproar, which will undoubtedly evoke some bad memories for the domestic public.

This is a result that neither side of the "donkey" or "elephant" parties wants to see, after all, everyone's butt is not clean in the matter of poisoning, and no one wants to be affected by this indiscriminate killing bomb.

Therefore, the Federation must immediately respond and retaliate, whether it is to arrest Andrés Doza back to the Federation or simply kill him, only then can the gagged be gagged in advance and the funeral be celebrated.

For the CIA and DEA, although both sides know that tearing up again will only hurt both sides, a certain scar between each other has been torn open again, and it is definitely useless to expect mutual trust and cooperation between the two as before.

And some of the above people obviously tasted the sweetness of the joint operation that Jack participated in before, although a CIA agent died, and the final goal was not achieved, but the operation was still "successful" in name, after all, several drug dealer leaders were killed, and the pressure on the border was light.

And this also verifies one thing, in the case of multiple departments jointly participating and pulling each other's hind legs to keep an eye on each other's every move, the slippery heads of the CIA and DEA are still willing to work hard, at least the real root cause of the failure of that operation is that there is a mole on the Mexican side, not .

So theoretically, the FBI and the previous departments were dragged into this retaliation operation again, and Jack was named for his outstanding performance.

In fact, it wasn't the seals who chose Jack on a shortlist, but they were the only candidate they were given, and Jason Hayes was ordered that the FBI people must be involved in the whole process and keep him as safe as possible.

This is why there is this so-called adaptive training three months in advance, which is also the only condition put forward by the military, although from the perspective of previous cooperation, the military and the CIA have been in cahoots more often, but it will never be possible to completely fall to one side or the other.

They are also afraid that the CIA will make some small moves in this matter and let the military take the blame.

As for whether the CIA's insistence that Andrés Doza must be captured alive is to obtain a confession from the other party to prove his innocence, or whether he has other ideas, it is not known.

Just as Colonel Harrington, the representative of the military, said at the end of the meeting, after breaking the somewhat dull atmosphere.

"Nobody can do that to an American, you go to Mexico, find Doza, torture him or put him in a coffin, and then you can come back, understand?"
