Chapter 8 The Dilemma of the Medellin Group

South America, Colombia. In a secret estate in Medellin. Pablo Escobar rubbed his temples, leaned in the bathtub and stared blankly, even the beauties around him who kept serving him couldn't interest him.

The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Escobar. As the Colombian government's determination to control drugs expands, Escobar is facing increasing pressure.

Just last year, the Colombian government forces and the Americans jointly launched a massive attack on the home of the Medellin Group. The Americans used the Hercules transport plane to transport more than 5,000 Colombian government soldiers to Medellin, and also used F-16 fighter jets and Apache helicopter gunships for air support. Escobar suffered heavy losses in the sudden military attack. 150 drug dealers died in this battle, and more than a thousand people were captured by government forces. Although a month later, Escobar made a thunderous counterattack, not only shooting and killing Colombian Justice Minister Lara. He also rushed directly into the building of the Colombian Ministry of Justice and confronted more than 400 Colombian military police, but it is a pity that only 34 policemen and a dozen judges were killed in this battle.

Escobar now lives in fear all day long. He was not intimidated by Colombian government forces, but because the Americans were involved. The assault rifles and rockets in the hands of the drug dealers in the Medellin Group are definitely not the opponents of the American armed helicopters and F-16 fighter jets. The siege of the Colombian Justice Department building has been Escobar's best effort yet.

Escobar now has a deep understanding of the phrase believed by those extreme left-wing guerrillas that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. He is not short of money or people. What he lacks are advanced weapons and ammunition, because Escobar does not have any counterattack capabilities in front of US military helicopters and fighter jets. But there was one silver lining for him, and that was his friends, the Russians who were helping him with his money. These people can even get the special car of the General Secretary of the Soviet Union to give him, what else can these people not do.

"Boss, those Russian guests are here!" A subordinate approached Escobar and whispered in his ear.

Escobar stopped what he was doing, stood up, and left the bathtub. Then he took the bathrobe from his subordinates and put them on his body, and said to the subordinates beside him: "Let the guests wait for me for a while, and entertain them well.

"

Ten minutes later, Escobar came to the reception room, saw Yuri and Ivankov, hurried forward to hug them, and said in his mouth: "My brothers, I am so happy to see you! "

"Pablo, what happened to call us here in such a hurry?" Yuri asked proactively. In fact, Yuri and Pablo didn't meet many times, and most of them were because of business matters. He will come only if he really needs to be interviewed. But now that the business has stabilized, there is nothing to discuss.

"My brothers, you must help me this time! I am being targeted by the Americans. They have planes and missiles! But my men only have assault rifles and rockets. I want you to help me, help me Get some more lethal weapons!" Escobar said straight to the point.

"Dude, then you are looking for the wrong person. We are not involved in the arms business, and what you want is weapons that can fight against the Americans. I am afraid that even the Colombian government will not be able to buy them!" Yuri subconsciously refused. .

"No, brother! I know your abilities. You can even get the special car of the General Secretary of the Soviet Union. A little weapon should not be difficult for you! Guys, we have been working together happily for so many years. What good will it do you if someone catches you?" Escobar said impatiently, he is really too dangerous now, after the last counterattack, although Escobar vented his anger, he kept his reputation. But his loss is not a star and a half. Thousands of his subordinates are imprisoned in the prison.

If these people are not rescued, it will be difficult for Escobar to guarantee that he can survive government action after government action.

Yuri and Ivankov looked at each other. They could hear the meaning of Escobar's words. The cooperation between them for so many years can be regarded as a close relationship. If Escobar falls into the hands of Colombian government forces, then he will definitely be extradited to the United States. At that time, things about the Gorky Brotherhood will inevitably leak out.

"Good! Good! Good! Pablo, your request is too sudden, we are not prepared at all! I have to discuss this matter with our boss Nicholas!" Yuri replied conservatively. .

"My brothers, I hope you can stay here for a while, after all, I don't know much about fighting, and the same is true about weapons..."

"Are you trying to put us under house arrest?" Ivankov suddenly asked angrily. He interrupted Escobar's speech, and stared at Escobar fiercely with sharp eyes.

"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 is really too big, and Yuri really doesn't have the guts to decide on his own.

So shortly after the meeting that day ended, Yuri contacted Sergey Sha, told Sergey the whole thing, and then asked Sergey's opinion.

"Hey! What are you afraid of? Yuri, I'm afraid we can't shirk this matter!" Seryozha said emotionally on the phone.

"Boss, I'm sorry!" Yuri said with some shame, Escobar was the client he won, and now he is in trouble, but he wants the entire Gorky Brotherhood to help him solve it.

"What are you talking about! I heard from my father that a former employee of the KGB came to our fraternity recently, claiming to have connections with the arms business. Anyway, my father and I are not very worried about him, so let him do this. Let’s do business! If something happens, just let him recite it!” Sergey Sha said on the phone.

"KGB, why would the KGB join us, wouldn't it be a spy?" Yuri asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I asked Director Morgin about the whereabouts of this person. He was indeed abandoned by the KGB. You know that our general secretary has always disliked the KGB, and they occupy a lot of funds and expenses. So, this time I am not surprised at all by the KGB!" Seryozha replied.

"When will you answer me?" Yuri finally asked.

"Within a week!" replied Seryozha.
