America's Big Hero

Seeing that Mexico is pretending to be dead, Sean has no choice but to go there himself.

The Golden Palace arrived in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. President Carlos Salinas personally picked it up. The pick-up etiquette was also done according to the presidential level, highlighting a grand event.

At this time, I still pay attention to the demeanor and restraint of a fart!

After completing a set of procedures, Sean said directly to the camera that he came to Mexico this time because of the invitation of President Carlos Salinas to communicate with the Mexican side on how to better combat drug crimes.

Carlos Salinas was stunned, when did I invite you.

Of course, in front of the camera, Carlos Salinas said with a serious face: "Drug crimes have always plagued Mexico, and we are actively seeking help from the United States, hoping to combat the arrogance of the pan-drug group!"

There was no banquet this time, and Sean had no interest in Mexican food.

Private interview in the President's Office.

"There are no outsiders here. What does Mr. Carlos think about the issue of the domestic pan-drug group?" Sean asked straight to the point.

"It's hard." Carlos shook his head, "It's almost impossible."

"why?"

"It's not that the government doesn't want to wipe out drug criminals, and it's not that the government army can't beat drug criminals, but that it can't afford this kind of loss." Carlos stopped pretending and spread his hands and said, "Every time there is a war against gangsters and drug criminals, they will set off riots in the city." The riots, the riots are widespread, the people have become the ultimate victims, and the government cannot afford this kind of loss."

"Like Columbia?" Sean smiled.

"It's like Colombia!" Carlos nodded.

What Carlos didn’t mention was how many people were supported by the drug industry chain. Every year tens of billions of dollars of cash enters Mexico because of drugs, but a small part is actually obtained by the drug bosses, and the rest of the funds are used to To support the team under him, some of them are scattered to the industrial chain including planting, manufacturing, transportation and so on.

Hundreds of thousands of people rely on this industrial chain to support themselves.

Of course, it is also the best means to balance the trade deficit.

Drugs have been firmly tied to Mexico's economy and cannot be separated.

Sean knows this, Carlos knows it, and the US government knows it, so... "When do you think NAFTA will be signed?"

Carlos Salinas: (°言°)

Isn't it about drug criminals? How did this topic jump to the North American Free Trade Agreement?

"You, you, you..." Carlos stood up, pointed at Sean in astonishment, and couldn't finish his sentence.

Having said all this, he still doesn't understand why the United States suddenly pays attention to the drug issue.

The poisonous thing is not a day or two, but decades, so it feels so abrupt.

Good guy, it turned out to be because of this!

"You guys, you guys are playing hooligans!" Carlos was furious. The inability to sign the trade agreement is not a problem on the part of Mexico, as for it!

"Ahem, pay attention to your words. Fighting drug crimes is universal and justified. It is a universal value, recognized by the whole world, and approved by the United Nations." Sean looked at Carlos coldly. .

Carlos was panting, damn it, the American, the hooligan, the biggest hooligan in the world!

"Calm down." Sean put on a smiling face, raised his hand and pressed down, "Sit down, sit down and talk, what can't be discussed, is this free trade agreement good for Mexico?"

"I believe the answer is yes, there are benefits!"

"Then actively cooperate and sign it. Everyone, you and me are good and I am good, because this kind of thing hurts the relationship between the United States and Mexico for hundreds of years, and the gain outweighs the loss."

"I believe that President Carlos is a sensible person, one of the great presidents of Mexico, and he will not act on his own will."

Carlos sighed, if it wasn't that he couldn't beat the United States... "This is not something I can sign if I want to, and the issues here are very complicated."

"Simplify the complicated problem, tell me where the problem is." Sean asked with a smile.

"To put it simply, the interests of all parties cannot be balanced, and many conditions cannot be agreed upon. Many people in the country are opposed to it. Mexico is not the only one that has the final say." Carlos said in a low voice.

"I heard, I just heard, that the drug problem is deeply rooted in Mexico. Many government officials have inextricably linked with drug criminals. Many people help drug criminals and are their protection." Sean crossed his legs, Looking at Carlos with a half-smile.

"What do you want to say?" Carlos frowned again, why did he jump to the drug issue again.

"I heard one thing. The disintegration of the Soviet Union is imminent. People in some member countries are in turmoil. The social system is on the verge of collapse. Many people are trying to escape from this chaotic vortex. Many people take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune." Sean looked mysterious He said: "Some time ago, a nuclear bomb was smuggled out of Kazakhstan. According to the information I got, it was bought by the Mexican Pan-Drug Group at a high price to threaten the government and stabilize its own Pan-Drug Group."

Carlos:? ? ?

Looking at Sean in a daze, what is this all about?

"This is a nuclear bomb, a weapon of mass destruction. It is irresponsible to the people of the world and a disaster if it is in the hands of drug criminals. This is absolutely not allowed. The United States will definitely ask the United Nations to send an investigation team." Sean raised his eyebrows , looked at Carlos with a smile, "Of course, we will conduct investigations in accordance with the principles of justice, fairness, and openness. We will never let a good person go, and we will never wrong a bad person."

"Ah bah, you wronged the good guys and let the bad guys go!"

Carlos had a broken face, I really think your last sentence is true!

Besides, drug criminal, is there a fucking good guy!

If this is really a shitty investigation team, there will be no peace in Mexico!

"You, you, you, you are just a bunch of drug criminals, where are they going to get a nuclear bomb!" Carlos wanted to curse, he understood what Sean meant, this was to force those drug criminals to deal with those government officials and congressmen who opposed it.

Drug criminals have a fart bottom line, they can use any means!

"You can't say that, I have evidence!" After speaking, Sean fumbled in his pocket, took out a few photos and handed them over.

Carlos took it, the photo was a little blurry, it was dark, there were a few people in camouflage uniforms standing around a car, and a box was pulled on the car, and there were many Russian words on the box.

In the other picture, the box was opened, and several people standing beside it were looking into it, and there was a cone-shaped iron product inside.

After careful identification, these people are indeed Mexicans in appearance, which Carlos can still distinguish, as well as their clothes.

"Are you sure this is a nuclear bomb!" Carlos couldn't believe it, he had never seen a nuclear bomb.

"I'm sure, I've seen it!" Sean nodded heavily.

"No, how come you have seen a Soviet nuclear bomb!" Carlos raised his eyebrows and stared at Sean.

Sean:? ? ?

"Ahem, I've seen the photos. The U.S. pays the CIA so much money every year, and the nuclear bombs can't be bought. A few photos are fine, and there are specific parameters." Sean said calmly.

Carlos tilted his head to look at Sean, feeling something was wrong.

He could see that, including the previous bombing, it was just a show of muscle. Everything was just to force the drug criminal group to do things and help him get rid of those government officials who raised objections.

The pan-drug groups in Mexico have done a lot of things like buying, threatening, and assassinating government officials. This time, they don’t need Sean to express their opinion. As long as someone sends a message, those guys who only have money in their eyes will do nothing. Everything can be done.

Even if the obstacle is his own president...

Chapter 565: Changing Faces

In a country like Mexico, the political situation is very deformed, or in other words, the political situation of most small countries is very deformed, but Mexico is even worse.

But when black forces become an important part of a country's economy and society, it is impossible for the system to be deformed.

In 90, Mexico's GDP was 2600 billion US dollars, while US-Mexico drug trade accounted for 4.5% of the total GDP.

Among them, the total import and export volume is about 2200 billion, and the export value is 1100 billion. The 120 billion US-Mexico drug trade is all export value, accounting for 10%.

This is an extremely scary number.

In fact, this number should be more, because the drug trade is carried out underground, and most of them are not included in the statistics.

The United States consumes 1.6 tons of marijuana a year, and Mexico provides 96% of the marijuana for the United States every year.64% for cocaine and 58% for heroin.

Every year, in order to supply such a huge market as the United States, there are more than 500 cities in Mexico, more than 35 people are directly involved in drug production, and 350 million related jobs are provided, accounting for 5% of the total population of Mexico. As we all know, behind every job there is a relationship Leading a family, therefore, more than 10% of the population enjoys this industrial benefit chain.

In the 90s, the monthly salary of a policeman in Mexico was only US$215. Not to mention the danger of the police position in Mexico, it is very difficult to support a family in terms of income alone.

It is impossible for the government to give higher salaries. It is not a matter of willingness to allocate funds. Salary is a system. If the salaries of the police are raised, the salaries of all government-related staff will be raised. The government has no money!

On the one hand, risking your life and not being able to support your family, on the other hand, if you give the green light to drug criminals, you will get ten times or dozens of times the income, how to choose?

In capitalism, the police is just an ordinary job without any particularity.

Many police officers and military leave the system after a certain age to join pan-drug groups, and this includes many government personnel.

Trade deficits, jobs, economic supplements... Due to many reasons, drug criminals are entangled with the Mexican government, so crimes such as bribery and bribery bred by drugs will inevitably occur, and the political system is extremely affected by drug criminals.

Therefore, when Sean took out this method and put it in front of President Carlos Salinas, he lost.

As for why Lao Bu and the others didn't expect to operate like this, it can only be said to be a matter of vision.

Their perspective is always at the top, whether you say they have limited energy or focus on the overall situation.

The whole world is the same, gentlemen are kind-hearted, and can't see the filth and filth below.

Actively promoting the North American Free Trade Agreement is a foregone conclusion. What remains in front of Carlos is how to get enough benefits for himself, and of course, get some benefits for Mexico by the way, without hindering the overall situation.

As for what is the overall situation, then...

Politicians are very decisive. They will never entangle too much when things cannot be done. The speed of changing their attitudes is jaw-dropping. "NAFTA is good for both the United States and Mexico. This is for sure. I have been promoting this matter, but I encountered some difficulties and obstacles in the process, so I had to slow down."

"Oh, respected President Carlos, I don't know which aspects have been affected, and whether there is anything I can help." Sean smiled very kindly.

"Affected the approval rate." Carlos said with a serious face: "I hope Mexico can sign an agreement with the umbrella to fight drug crimes, so as to curb the increasingly rampant drug crimes in Mexico."

Sean spread his hands in surprise, right? He remembered that Carlos had a very clear attitude before, and he did not want the United States to interfere in the so-called drug crimes in Mexico.

This is a 180° turn!

Carlos shrugged, "As long as there are normal people in the world, they all know that drugs are harmful and will breed a lot of crimes. No parent wants their children to live in this kind of environment, and no child wants to have a drug addict or pan-drug addict." parents, and Mexicans are no exception, not wanting to get rid of drugs and being unable to get rid of drugs are two different things.”

"The Mexican people hope that the government can crack down on drug crimes. There is no doubt about this. Every year, more than 400 police officers and more than 100 soldiers die in Mexico's fight against drug crimes."

Sean raised his hand and patted his head lightly. Well, he was wrong about this point. Mexicans are human too, and this is a habit of thinking.

He understood what Carlos meant, and made a declaration to crack down on drug offenders, raise his reputation among the people, and prepare for the next re-election.

pretty good.

Shake hands, cooperation reached!

……

The next day, Carlos held a press conference, and Sean was invited to attend.

On stage, Carlos denounced the harm that drugs have brought to the Mexican people, the society, and the country. A set of data is listed, how many people die each year due to crimes caused by drugs.

Finally, Carlos solemnly announced that he would sign a military outsourcing agreement with the Umbrella Group to fight against the Pan-Drug Group.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

First: This is tantamount to declaring that Mexico has lost its ability to coerce domestic pan-drug groups. The government, including the military, is helpless against drug criminals and must resort to external forces.

Of course, everyone knows this, but is knowing the same as saying it!

Shame!

Second: The Mexican government could not bear the pressure from the US, and once again bowed its head and compromised.

Third: Chaos is coming!

The Pantoxin Group is not made of mud, so it is impossible not to resist.

……

a bolt from the blue!

This statement is a bolt from the blue to the six major pan-drug groups in Mexico!

They are not afraid of the anti-drug campaign launched by the government. The pan-drug group can speak to the government openly. For every drug criminal they arrest, they will kill two policemen!

Once a large-scale nationwide anti-drug operation begins, they will launch assassinations of senior government officials and set off riots in their cities.

Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, it depends on who can't bear it first.

The result is that every time the government compromises and gives up...

……

The six major pan-drug groups have their own territories and are opposed to each other. Every year or even every month, there will be some conflicts, and the hatred between them is very deep. Sit down and talk.

Of course, the top leader will definitely not be present, who knows if other people will betray themselves, but the second and third leaders in the group will be present.

The capital of choice for the meeting place is Mexico City.

The reason why I chose this place is because it is not anyone's territory. From this point of view, the Mexican government is stronger than the Colombian government...

Than the bad times!

Of course, more importantly, out of safety considerations, drug offenders are also human beings who are also afraid and will die if they are shot!

A four-star hotel has been fully booked, and a group of heads of the pan-drug group appeared here aboveboard. Pan-drugs are for making money, and making money is for enjoying life instead of hiding in the mountains and old forests to count money, staying in a hotel What's wrong!

Drug offenders also have hotel freedom!
