Chapter 78 The Texas Storm

The Texas section of the Mexican-US-Mexico border. Under the cover of the moonlight at night, dozens of Mexicans were rushing towards the barbed wire fence on the border between the two countries with their families, carrying bags of all sizes. A young and strong man rushed to the front, cut off the barbed wire fence on the border with visors. Then everyone rushed in from here.

This scene happened almost every day on the US-Mexico border of more than 3,000 kilometers. Some people rushed over, some were deported, and some died at the gun of the border patrol. Mexico is too far from God and too close to the United States. Those Mexicans who have read the border and hope to live a happy life in the future do not know that happiness is still out of reach after they arrive in the United States.

Just after Seriosha gave the Medellin Group a special gift, not long after, these Mexicans on the US-Mexico border almost knew about a new opportunity to make money, which was to go to the United States to help Mexican gangs engage in drug trafficking.

The shield machine sent by Seriosha was so easy to use. In less than a month, two spacious underground passages were dug up underground on the US-Mexico border. Through these two passages, drugs smuggled from Colombia to Mexico could be safely delivered to the United States. After tasting the sweetness, these Mexican drug dealers ordered more shield machines from the Soviet Union.

After the submarines and underground passages, Escobar's transportation passages were instantly unobstructed. The transportation cost of cocaine he produced to the United States was suddenly reduced a lot. Coca leaves in Colombia's neighbors, Bolivar and Peru also increased sales a lot. The purchase price of coca raw materials in the Big Colombia region began to rise, while the price of cocaine in the United States began to fall. Although this is a good thing for producers and consumers, the US Drug Enforcement Administration understands the deep-seated reason, that is, more cocaine flowing into the US market.

Although the retail price of cocaine in the United States has only been reduced by a few dollars, the chain reaction brought by these dollars is huge to the entire country. A few dollars less means a lower threshold for trying. Many teenagers who are short of money but are full of curiosity may take the first step, and the big drug lords will not lose much in the process of lowering prices. Although the profit of a single gram has been reduced, they will make more money due to the huge increase in sales. Drug lords who make money only need to take a little to motivate those farmers who make a living by this, and more people will grow coca.

The Texas Branch of the US Drug Enforcement Administration has already felt the seriousness of the situation. Although they have increased their efforts to crack down, they have achieved little effect. This change is really sudden. It seems that overnight, the entire Texas cocaine is no longer short of cocaine and has begun to open up the supply. The drug enforcement agency is facing unprecedented pressure from the top leaders. From the perspective of the US government, drug control is not just for the health of the public, but because of the proliferation of drugs. The United States has to drain nearly 100 billion US dollars of funds abroad every year and a considerable amount of public health expenditure. Fiscal revenue is what the US government values. There are also many remarks in Congress that support the legalization of drug sales. Their views are similar to those of the American Gun Association, that is, people kill people rather than drugs.

Members of Congress are elected. In states where drugs are already rampant, only by having a tolerant political attitude towards drugs can we get more votes. So it is not surprising that there is such a voice in Congress. The democratic electoral system also has its own dark side.

The surge in drug sales forced the DEA to take several large-scale actions to save the situation. In order to find out the truth, the DEA raided the Mexican community under the guidance of online people. After a fierce battle, both sides suffered casualties and injuries. The DEA harvested tons of cocaine, a roomful of Mexican pesos and dollars, as well as the bodies of several unknown little people. They thought that even though the drug dealers ran away, they would have stopped for a while. Who knew that the Mexicans were still in bulk on the street the next day. The DEA's actions did not hurt their muscles at all, and the drug dealers were still alive.

After this battle, the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration finally understood that Mexicans must have a safe transportation channel in their hands, which can avoid the sight of US law enforcement agencies. After understanding this, the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration began to focus on digging out the drug trafficking routes of Mexican drug dealers.

The Federal Drug Enforcement Administration sent statisticians from Washington to start counting changes in the price and sales of cocaine in the market and narrowing the search scope. After more than a month of investigation, statisticians discovered a new clue, that is, prices always start to change from Texas and Florida.

"Why did the prices in these two states start to change first? It's reasonable to say that Texas and Mexico border, what's going on in Florida? It's surrounded by sea on three sides and is not bordered by Texas and Mexico..."

Investigators from the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration would never have thought that Florida would be one of the channels for cocaine entry, and they had previously thought that drugs were flowing through Texas.

"How are our informants in Mexico, do they know what news?"

"Sorry, boss, we don't have information on this!"

"That's really strange. The amount of drugs intercepted by our customs has not increased. According to common sense, even if there are omissions in our security checks, as the circulation of drugs increases, the number of people we seize is expected to rise. How did these cocaine come in?"

The experts from the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration were puzzled. At this moment, a phone call directly entered the conference room.
