It is also impolite to come without being polite. During Operation Guantanamo, Colombian armed groups and drug trafficking groups gave great help to the Gorky Brotherhood, and this friendship made Seriosha necessary to express it. So Seriosha decided to give Escobar and his Mexican partners a big gift to help them expand the drug trade with the United States. The gifts given by Seriosha were nothing else, but three retired conventional Soviet submarines and two Soviet-made tunnel excavation shield machines.

The reason why Seriosha sent the submarine was mainly to make Escobar more convenient to transport cocaine to the United States. The shield machine was used to help Medellin Group's Mexican partners open secret tunnels on the US-Mexico border. These three submarines were old antiques from decades ago. After they retired, they were forgotten in military ports and used as combat preparation materials, training ships or target ships during military exercises. Seriosha knew that this thing was useless to the Soviet Ministry of Defense.

So after communicating with the Ministry of Defense, he spent some money to buy three ships. Then he pulled them to the Ukrainian dock to renovate and replace the power and weapon systems. Although the production of the three submarines was a long time, it was not difficult to rest. In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economics urged them tightly but gave enough money. Therefore, the Ukrainian shipyard almost gave up all the work to transform these three conventional submarines, so it took only more than a month to complete the entire work.

After Escobar, the Medellin Group, was naturally very excited after learning about Nikola's gift. They selected some reliable drug dealers with some cultural foundation to come to the Soviet Union and learned the basic driving skills of submarines at the Soviet Naval Academy as a forged identity to ensure that after the delivery of these three submarines in the future, the Medellin Group can fully play their role.

Although the transportation capacity of the three submarines is not large, if they transport cocaine which is higher than gold prices, then the value of these submarines is a different matter. You should know that after the operation and operation of Colombian drug trafficking groups over the years, the cocaine industry has formed a complete industrial trade chain. In the entire trade chain, due to its geographical advantage, the Colombians have taken away the richest profits.

As a drug extracted from nature, its basic raw material is a plant called coca. This plant is one of the main crops in several countries on the South American continent. In the eyes of Indians, coca leaves are probably similar to betel nut. In addition, coca is also one of the raw materials in the mysterious formula of Coca Cola.

Although Latin American governments have announced that it is illegal to plant and sell coca, for the people of these countries, coca is the only livelihood they rely on for survival. Although Colombian drug trafficking groups almost monopolize most of the profits of the coca trade, when it comes to the scale of coca cultivation, Colombia can only rank third, with Bolivia and Peru in the top two respectively.

Due to climate and natural conditions, agricultural production is extremely difficult. Traditional intensive crops will not have any good harvests. Moreover, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in Bolivia. For poor farmers, coca is the only crop that can make them live. In Bolivia, coca leaves are placed in rural and urban markets like tobacco for sale. The price of a bundle of coca leaves is about twenty dollars, and the quantity is better. But when these coca leaves are processed into coca alkali

The selling price per kilogram can reach 2,000 US dollars. If this kilogram of cocaine is shipped to Medellin, you can buy at least 6,000 US dollars, while the shipping to Mexico is 10,000 US dollars per kilogram. The local wholesale price in the United States is 30,000 US dollars. If it is opened into small packages for retail sales, the same kilogram of cocaine can be sold for more than 100,000 US dollars. Among them, how to safely transport cheap Bolivian and Peruvian cocaine to the United States has always been a major problem that has plagued Colombians to step closer in the drug trade.

Now that there are submarines, it seems that this problem will be solved immediately. Although the Soviet submarines were old, it was no problem to deceive Mexico and the Coast Guards of the United States. The secret digging of tunnels on the US-Mexico border through shield machines has greatly increased the trade volume of the Medellin Group. It can be expected that the small help provided by Seriosha will greatly increase the difficulty of the US Drug Enforcement Administration's inspection, and the revenue of the Medellin Group, the Kali Group, and those guerrillas will also greatly increase. Seriosha's customers can make more money, so the business of the Gorky Brotherhood will naturally rise.

Selyosha did not interfere directly with the submarine affairs, but was responsible for the newly promoted senior cadre Variety, who was newly promoted by the Gorky Brotherhood. In order to facilitate Variety's activities in the Soviet Union, Selyosha arranged a nominal position for Variety in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs. He specifically helped the Ministry of National Defense to engage in the export of conventional weapons and dual-use special equipment for military and civilians. It was considered that Variety's arms business was semi-legalized in the Soviet Union. The weapons exported by Selyosha were not used as arms, but were sold as ordinary civilian goods. Because many countries in the world, including some European countries, do not prohibit ordinary people from possessing guns, so Variety's arms business can be used as a cover.

Varianjing can legally sell pistols, hunting rifles, and some sniper rifles and assault rifles produced by the Soviet Union to weapons retailers in European countries through the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, but it is still easy to carry some private goods during export. Although from a global perspective, the market for civilian gun consumption is not large. However, the quality of the Soviet guns is still well-known, and its international competitiveness is several levels better than that of the household appliances, automobiles and other industrial products produced by the Soviet Union.
