Chapter VIII The Dilemma of the Medellin Group
In a secret manor in Medellin, South America, Pablo Escobar rubbed the sun and leaned against the bathtub, staring at the gods. Even the beauty who kept serving him could not make him interested.
The situation is increasingly moving in a direction that is unfavorable to Escobar. As the Colombian government's determination to combat drugs is expanding, Escobar is facing increasing pressure.
Just last year, the Colombian government forces and Americans jointly launched a massive attack on the Medellin Group's nest. The Americans used Hercules transport planes to transport more than 5,000 Colombian government soldiers to Medellin, and also used F16 fighters and Apache armed helicopters for air support. Escobar suffered heavy losses under the sudden military strike. 150 drug dealers died in this battle, and more than a thousand were captured by the government forces. Although one month later, Escobar made a thunderous counterattack, not only shot and killed Colombian Attorney General Lara. He also rushed directly into the Colombian Ministry of Justice Building and confronted more than 400 Colombian military and police. Unfortunately, only 34 policemen and more than a dozen judges were killed in this battle.
Escobar is now in panic all day. He is not afraid of the Colombian government forces, but because the Americans are involved. The assault rifles and rockets in the hands of drug dealers of the Medellin Group are definitely not opponents of Americans' armed helicopters and f16 fighters. The siege of the Colombian Ministry of Justice has been Escobar's greatest effort.
Escobar now has a deep understanding of the saying that those far-left guerrillas believe in being beaten if they are behind. He is not short of money or people. What he lacks is advanced weapons and ammunition, because Escobar does not have any counterattack ability in the face of US helicopters and fighters. However, he still has a glimmer of hope, that is, his friends, the Russians who helped him deal with funding issues. These people can even get the special car of the Soviet General Secretary, and what else can these people not do.
"Boss, those Russian guests have arrived!" Some subordinates approached Escobar and whispered in his ear.
Escobar stopped his movements, stood up and left the bathtub. Then he took his bathrobe and put it on his body, and said to his subordinates: "Let the guests wait for me for a while and treat them well."
Ten minutes later, Eskobar came to the reception room. Seeing Yuri and Ivankov, he hurried forward and hugged them, muttering: "My brother, I'm so happy to see you!"
"Pablo, what happened to call us over so anxiously?" Yuri asked on his own initiative. In fact, Yuri and Pablo didn't meet many times, most of them were because of business matters, and he really needed to be interviewed before he would come. But now the business has stabilized and there is nothing to discuss.
"My brother, you must help me this time! I was targeted by the Americans. They have planes and missiles! But I only have assault rifles and rockets under my command. I want you to help me and help me get some more lethal weapons!" Escobar said straight to the point.
"Man, then you've found the wrong person. We are not involved in the arms business. And what you want is a weapon that can fight against the Americans. I'm afraid even the Colombian government can't buy it!" Yuri subconsciously refused.
"No, brothers! I know your abilities. You can even get the special car of the Soviet General Secretary. A little weapon should not defeat you! Guys, we have been working happily for so many years. If I was caught by the Americans, what good will it do to you?" Escobar said impatiently. He was too dangerous now. After the last counterattack, although Escobar extricated himself and saved his reputation. But his losses were not a small matter. He was imprisoned in prison and thousands of his subordinates. If these people were not rescued, Escobar would find it difficult to guarantee that he could survive the government actions again and again.
Yuri and Ivankov looked at each other, and they could hear the meaning of Escobar's words. After so many years of cooperation, it can be regarded as a relationship of lip and teeth. If Escobar falls into the hands of the Colombian government forces, then he will definitely be extradited to the United States. At that time, the matter of the Gorky Brotherhood will inevitably leak out.
"Okay! OK! OK! Pablo, your request is too sudden, we are not prepared at all! I have to discuss this with our boss Nicholas!" Yuri replied conservatively.
"My brothers, I hope you can stay here for a few more days. After all, I don't know much about war, and the same is true for weapons..."
"Do you want to put us under house arrest?" Ivankov asked suddenly angrily. He interrupted Escobar's speech and stared at Escobar with a sharp look.
"No, brother, you misunderstood! I just want to know your answer as quickly as possible! My situation is not very good, I hope you can agree to help me as soon as possible!" Escobar said kindly.
Yuri stood up and pressed Ivankov's shoulder to calm him down. This matter was too big, Yuri really didn't have the courage to take action without authorization.
So shortly after the meeting that day, Yuri contacted Selyosha, told Selyosha in full detail, and then asked Selyosha's opinions.
"Hey! Are you really afraid of anything? Yuri, we may not be able to refuse this matter!" Selyosha said with emotion on the phone.
"Boss, sorry!" Yuri said with shame. Escobar was the customer he won. Now that he was in trouble, he wanted the entire Gorky Brotherhood to help him solve it.
"Why do you say this? I heard from my dad that a former KGB employee came to our brotherhood recently, claiming to have a way to deal with arms deals. My dad and I were not very relieved about him, so I asked him to do this business! If something happened, just let him recite it!" Xie Liangsha said on the phone.
"KGB, how could the KGB join us? It's not a spy?" Yuri asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I asked Director Moltine about the whereabouts of this person. He was indeed abandoned by the KGB. You know that our General Secretary has never liked the KGB. They occupied a lot of funds and expenses, so I was not surprised at all when I attacked the KGB this time!" Selyosha replied.
"When will you answer me?" Yuri asked at the end.
"In one week!" Xie Liaosha replied...
