Mexico, the city of Juarez on the U.S.-Mexico border. It is just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, which belongs to Texas, USA. Juarez is an important border port in Mexico, and it is also the last stop for many smugglers in Mexico. After a few decades, it will eventually become a city controlled by Mexican drug dealers, and the victims who die at the hands of drug dealers every year There are thousands of people. But now the drug dealers in Juarez are far from being as arrogant as they were later. They are now just drug distributors who rely on the sniffs of Colombians. They are responsible for the last link of the drug trade in the Americas, which is sending cocaine to Texas across the river. go.
At this moment, Ivankov is sitting in a Mercedes-Benz bulletproof car passing through the streets of Juárez. The low buildings on both sides of the street make Ivankov look down on this border town from the bottom of his heart. But it was Seryozha's intention to come here, and Ivankov couldn't help it.
Ivankov entered the country on a Spanish passport. The purpose of his trip was to establish some branches for the Gorky Brotherhood here. In the recent period, Seriosha's original major client, Escobar, has had many problems. He seems to be obsessed with challenging the new president of Colombia, and has been expanding his armed forces. This made the original drug business somewhat deserted. The business of helping Escobar to launder money was originally one of the most stable incomes of the Gorky Brotherhood, but now Escobar can't calm down to take care of his own business, which affects the interests of the Gorky Brotherhood. Although Valentin's arms business is doing well, arms are not the main business of the Gorky Brotherhood after all, so the gains outweigh the losses.
In view of the current situation, the Gorky Brotherhood must find new and stable major customers. Since the Mexicans obtained the tunnel-digging equipment and related technologies exported by the Soviet Union, the sales of cocaine have soared sharply, and there is a faint tendency to become another Cali group. According to the changes in the situation, Seryozha decided to move part of the business in the United States to Mexico, such as Yuri's previous casino business, and the banking business that the Gorky Brotherhood was best at.
Ivankov's good partner, Yuri, is enjoying the happiness of his newlyweds with his wife in Switzerland, and he doesn't plan to go out for the time being, so this time Ivankov can only let Ivankov take a trip to Mexico by himself. The purpose of Ivankov's trip is to establish a financial branch in the small city of Juárez, mainly engaged in loan and exchange business. It's just that their customers include Mexican gangs in addition to ordinary Mexicans. Ivankov will lend money to these gangs, and it doesn't matter what they do after getting the money, as long as they repay the principal with interest within the stipulated time limit. Ivankov is not worried that some unscrupulous gangs dare to renege on their debts. The Battle of Guantanamo made Ivankov famous. If that gang dares to make mistakes, it must first weigh whether it is qualified compared with the U.S. military in Guantanamo.
Ivankov bought a property near the largest church in Juárez. In addition, he also bought a farm on the outskirts of the city. The mercenary army that was formed was transferred to the farm.
During the attack on Guantanamo, Ivankov's 500-man armed force was the only one among all the participating troops.
After the Guantanamo incident, those mercenaries returned to Colombia with a large force. Now the situation in Colombia is becoming more and more serious. In order to prevent this force from being used by Escobar, Mexico also needs an armed force that obeys its own orders. , So taking this opportunity to open up the Mexican market, Ivankov brought this weapon to Juárez. They were placed with a security company called International Risk Consulting and lived in Mexico as employees of that company.
Like the United States, Mexico is also a country of immigrants, but under the halo of the United States, Mexico is rarely favored by immigrants. However, for those Soviet citizens who defected from the Afghan battlefield, entering the United States will be subject to surveillance by the U.S. government because of their status, and life and work are restricted everywhere. It is better to settle down in Mexico. Besides, if you want to go to the United States, you only need to drive two hours to the other side of the river.
With the existence of the International Risk Consulting Company, Ivankov can settle down to handle the matter that Serezha told him. In the small city of Juárez, using the name of Bank of Colombia is too ostentatious, so Ivankov’s financial institution plans to set up another signboard. The company’s name is Aztec Bank, because Central America, including Mexico, once It is the birthplace of Aztec civilization. According to Seryozha's opinion, in the future, the bank will gradually take over the business of the Gorky Brotherhood in offshore financial centers in the Caribbean, including Panama, the British Virgin Islands, and the Cayman Islands. It will also slowly transition to the hands of Aztec Bank. Seriosha will build a wall between the Colombian Bank and the money laundering business. Once there is a problem with the money laundering business, then the Aztec Bank can be taken Throw it out as a shield.
Although most of the work has not yet started, International Venture Consulting has received a tilt in resources from the Gorky Brotherhood. Because of the friendly relationship between Mexico and the United States, international risk consulting companies can directly purchase high-quality products from American firearms companies. Ivankov ordered military-standard firearms and military vehicles from the United States in the name of international risk consulting companies. Even two gunships were ordered. It can be said that this private security company was established completely in accordance with the standards of the army.
After leaving the city, Ivankov's special car drove onto the highway leading to the US border. On the way, Ivankov used the Yota mobile phone he just bought to call his business partner in El Paso. After confirming the time and place, Ivankov hung up the phone.
After the car entered the United States, Ivankov saw his business partners in a scrap car processing plant on the outskirts of El Paso, but Ivankov didn't like these people very much because they were all CIA people.
Yes, Ivankov is now cooperating with the CIA, because the CIA already believes that Ivankov is a member of the Solidarity Union. Yuri is a senior cadre serving the Solidarity trade union. Now that there is such a relationship, Seryozha must of course make good use of it. He wants to build an army loyal to himself under the eyes of the Americans.
