Chapter 1480 Marching Into Mexico

Although Miss Bahrain is already very knowledgeable for an ordinary person, perhaps a hundred ordinary people will feel that what she said is correct, but what she said here is wrong for Li Cong, but There is no need for Li Cong to correct others at this time. It is good to go to Mexico. In fact, Li Cong also has plans to develop in Mexico. The United States condoned the development of Mexico, which led to their current situation, which provided Li Cong with a forward position. , If it can be combined with Cuba, then this nail will be even more important. Suddenly Li Cong has a big plan, can he support Miss Bahrain's family to establish their own armed forces in Mexico? At the beginning Naturally, it must be within the scope allowed by the Skull and Bones. They will not take care of the general small-scale forces, and they will have nothing to do when they grow stronger. m

After sending off Miss Bahrain, Li Cong immediately asked the people who had just come down from the front line of the exercise to prepare to participate in the military meeting. Li Cong's topic was what kind of army could be cultivated in Mexico, and what kind of business could be expanded in Mexico , Those generals and senior executives know that the former president will definitely have new business, and they are all very energetic.

According to information compiled by energy groups, Mexico is one of the countries with a higher level of economic development in Latin America. For many years, Mexico has implemented a "mixed economy" system; since the 1990s, the privatization process of state-owned enterprises has accelerated, but the state still monopolizes important sectors such as energy, electricity, and telecommunications. Mexico is one of the big countries with rich products in Latin America. Abundant resources. The economic development potential is great. Mexico's national pastures cover an area of ​​79 million hectares, mainly raising cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens, and its honey production ranks first in the world. However, Mexico's agriculture is underdeveloped, and food cannot be self-sufficient for a long time, and domestic consumption is heavily dependent on imports; Mexico's coastline is 10,143 kilometers long. Mexico's marine fishing industry is well developed; the industrial categories are relatively complete, but the development is unbalanced. It is relatively developed in energy, mining, metallurgy and manufacturing industries.

During the more than 30 years from the 1950s to the early 1980s, the Mexican economy maintained an average annual growth rate of 6-7%. Although its annual population growth rate is as high as 3%, its per capita GDP can still maintain a growth rate of 3-38%. In the process of industrialization and agricultural modernization, Mexico's political stability has effectively guaranteed the sustainable development of the economy, thus promoting profound structural changes in the economic and industrial sectors. Agriculture's share of GDP fell from 20% in 1950 to 9.3% in 1980. The proportion of industry, especially manufacturing, has risen sharply. In 1980, the proportion of the manufacturing industry had risen from 17.8% in 1950 to 24.1%, which made Mexico gradually change from a backward agricultural and mining raw material producer and exporter after the war to an emerging country with diverse economic structures and relatively complete categories. industrial country. In the process of economic and technological modernization. Driven by urbanization and the rapid development of business and service industries, Mexico's employment structure has undergone fundamental changes, and the labor force in the agricultural sector has continuously shifted to non-agricultural industries. At present, only about 6 million of the 28 million labor force in the country are engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, and the urban population accounts for more than 72% of the national population. Tertiary industries such as commerce and services are well developed.

However, the debt crisis of the 1980s triggered a recession and a difficult economic adjustment in Mexico. In August 1982, Mexico announced that it was unable to repay the principal and interest of the foreign debt due, and the national economy fell into a crisis of long-term stagnation or decline.

From 1980 to 1989, the average annual growth rate of GDP was only 0.7%, and the per capita GDP was lower than the level of population growth rate. Inflation continued to rise, reaching a record rate of 159.2% in 1987. The heavy burden of foreign debt payments and the intensification of domestic capital flight have dried up investment funds. Various economic and social problems induced by business closures and increased unemployment forced the government to carry out a series of emergency and structural economic adjustments and reforms. Through fiscal tightening, inflation control, adjustment of import and export commodity structure, stimulation of private investment, expansion of opening up and improvement of economic efficiency, a series of policy measures and the implementation of various economic and social development plans. Mexico's economy gradually stabilized and began to emerge from the plight of recession and crisis, showing a good momentum of recovery and growth.

In 1986, Mexico joined the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which started the transformation from an inward-oriented development model to an outward-oriented development model. Since then, the Mexican government has vigorously implemented measures of adjustment, reform, privatization, and opening up to the outside world. Before 1995, the Mexican economy maintained a medium-to-low growth rate for many years, international reserves and foreign capital continued to increase, inflation fell to single digits, and the fiscal deficit turned into a profit. The debt ratio has reached a normal value, and imports and exports have increased significantly; but on the other hand. It has also formed a situation of excessive imports and mainly relying on foreign short-term capital to balance the excessively high deficit of economic projects. On January 1, 1994, Mexico officially joined the North American Free Trade Area. In December of the same year, due to intensified internal conflicts within the ruling party and political turmoil in Mexico, the confidence of foreign businessmen was shaken. Withdrew capital one after another, resulting in a sharp depreciation of the currency. A financial crisis broke out. In 1996, the Zedillo government, with the support of a large number of emergency aid from the United States and international financial institutions, adopted measures such as strict fiscal discipline, rectification of the financial system, further adjustment of the economic structure and implementation of medium and long-term economic development plans, so that the Mexican economy survived the emergency phase. The financial market continued to be good, the interest rate was gradually lowered, the money market was stable, the public finances were balanced and in surplus, foreign trade increased substantially, the balance of payments improved fundamentally, foreign debts were repaid smoothly, and foreign exchange reserves increased significantly. At present, the Mexican economy has stepped out of the bottom of the crisis and is showing a recovery momentum.

It’s just that they are still very backward at present. More than half of the country’s regions are relatively chaotic. Miss Bahrain’s family wants to open silver mines because mining is the only law in Mexico that allows you to openly own the army. According to Bahrain For the piece of silver mine that Miss got down, they can have an army of 4,000 people, and they can even have heavy weapons. The Mexican government doesn't want the military power in the country to be so chaotic. This is also impossible. The economy of their country is now mainly brought by these foreign capitalists. At the beginning, these capitalists also believed the security situation that Mexican officials said, but soon they found that what they said was completely irrelevant. Their factories often had community members come in to blackmail them, and these people They are all very brutal. If they want to kill someone, no one can stop them at all. If they call the police station, there is no one to answer the phone. If things go on like this, most entrepreneurs have suffered a lot of losses. At this time, they do not Stupid, I formed an army myself. At the beginning, it was not that exaggerated, there were hundreds of people at most, but as it developed, the total number reached tens of thousands. Now some large-scale mine workers have as many soldiers as there are, and the workers also want to be able to protect their own lives, so the capitalists give them military training. It is good for the capitalists that all the people are soldiers, but for the government. They said they were going to die, but the result was that no one listened to their cries. If you want to enforce the law, that's fine, just don't do it in my mining area. You can do whatever you like when you go out of my place. So now the mining area in Mexico has become a small community. In this small community, the boss is the sky, and the government's laws do not work here.

"Sir, I know all the information about Mexico. I think if we want to gain a foothold there, we must subdue the two relatively large private armed groups in Mexico. Although they are not as powerful as the three previous drug lords, they are The two of them also have tens of thousands of troops under their command. Now their relationship with us is still good, mainly because these people buy a lot of food and arms from us every year. This is not very reliable. If they Knowing that we are going to get involved, this little friendship is obviously not enough." Li Xian just finished participating in the big exercise and was worried about being okay, but now he has something to do and hasten to pursue improvement.

"Sir, our business department has just conducted a survey in Mexico. Our total assets in Mexico are 302.5 billion U.S. dollars, plus the 18.2 billion assets of the Ku Klux Klan just obtained. We have a total of 320.7 billion U.S. dollars in assets, but we control They are all high-level profit-making products, and those industries that have the military do not have our involvement at all, which is what the group decided at the time considering the relationship with Skull and Bones." The person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said that they did not want to develop, It's just that he didn't have that strength at that time.

"It's not bad. We are considered a large force in Mexico. Isn't their gross national product only 600 billion U.S. dollars? It's not bad if we have half of theirs. What about the military department? We have How many armed personnel, give me an accurate number." Li Cong glanced at Li Xian.

"Sir, although the Mexican military department has been established for a long time, it basically has no development. It currently only has 3,000 members nationwide, but the most reliable members are less than 1,000. The rest of the technology is still good. But their loyalty to us is not very high, and they don't know what they should be loyal to. In short, they will help whoever gives more money, even if the person they want to kill is their friend. In terms of armed forces, There are five armed helicopters and more than one hundred tanks of various types. If they are gathered together, they will be more powerful among the warlords, but there is still a lot of gap with those two powerful ones." Li Xian looked at the information and said, no People in the military do not do business, but it is too difficult to do things in Mexico. Those people have their own ideas, and they are very free and undisciplined. Another most important reason is that the Skull and Bones Society is very infiltrated here. One of the two most powerful warlords is definitely led by Skull and Bones, and the other is not led by Skull and Bones, but they will never be enemies.

The strength of 1,000 people is really a bit small. If there are more than 1,000 armed men in a relatively peaceful country, it is not bad, but in Mexico, this is considered a very small force. Li Cong saw from the information A small guy in Mexico City can pull out hundreds of armed men at any time. They will not be afraid of the police. Sometimes the police will give way when they see them. The police are synonymous with garbage in Mexico , Those who really can't get along will become policemen.

However, although the number of more than 1,000 people in the energy group is not very large, the equipment is absolutely excellent. In the hands of Mexican community members, their weapons can be said to be various, but they are different from the warring elements in other parts of the world. Similarly, people in those places basically have an AK47. But here. It's not that there are no such guns, but they don't account for a high share. The most used gun here is the M4 submachine gun originally made in the United States.

The US "Washington Post" once reported that in order to buy guns, Mexican drug cartels often hide cash in spare tires, engine transmissions and boxes of baby diapers, transport them into the United States through the US-Mexico border, and then buy guns from the United States . U.S. law enforcement estimates that Latin American drug cartels smuggle $100 million to $100 million in weapons from the U.S. each year. In the United States, there are a large number of minions in Mexican societies, and buying a gun in the United States is basically a very common thing. Most Americans have guns in their homes. If you don’t, it’s probably not normal. The Mexican community gangsters bought them in the United States and then smuggled them back to Mexico to support the people there to continue the war. Continue to pay back the money, then get it for yourself, buy weapons yourself, go back and support them, just repeat the same action.

"Notify the Mexican military department and tell them to prepare recently. The group is going to raise their ranks. In the next few days, the Mexican military department must expand to at least 3,000 troops. If these people's brains are not very obedient If so, you can send them to Africa to control them." Li Cong thought for a while and said. The most invisible thing in this world may be people's hearts, and that's okay, Li Cong has a way to see clearly what these people think in their hearts.

"Sir, are we making any big moves in Mexico? People from the political department said that Mexico is preparing for a large-scale extermination of drug dealers. Are we going to replace them?" Li Sen has matured a lot after what happened last time , I have done a lot of things during this period of time, so this time Li Xian brought him to the meeting. He can be said to be the No. 4 figure in the military besides Li Cong, Li Er and Li Xian among the next generation of the Li family. Yes, although his rank is not very high. But this guy is capable and already has his own prestige in the military department. Although there is still a certain gap compared with people like Li Xian, he is still very convincing compared to the older generation like Li Yunhai. The most important thing is that this kid has a passion, which Li Cong likes better. Because people with this are generally able to do things, but it is also more difficult to control.

"It is impossible to replace them. There are too many interests here. Now you are the minister of the Mexican branch. I hope you can help Miss Bahrain in the future. It will pass, and before I arrive, you'd better develop your own power. If not, I don't care what our relationship is, you have to give up your seat. As a care, I allow you to take you Fifty old subordinates of the Chinese government will go there together, and you can support you with one billion dollars in operational funds, arms and so on, but I want you to have the ability to protect yourself at least before I arrive, and the local military department must have its own capabilities. Instead of relying on the brand name of the energy group to scare people." Li Cong's words are very serious. In fact, he has also noticed that Li Sen is a little impetuous recently. Young people generally have such a situation. In addition, he was always successful when he was a teenager, so Li Cong was going to give this kid a little bit of trouble, and he couldn't make this kid's life so comfortable.

"Yes, I promise to complete the task and live up to the great trust of Mr. Li Sen." After saluting, Li Sen disappeared. The virtual meeting is like this. Who knows if the following topics have something to do with him, as long as his boss did not turn around when he turned around. If you want to leave your own thoughts, then you have to go out by yourself. This has been the rule for many years.

"Sir, don't you think about it? Although Li Sen is a good man, he is still a child. I don't think it's very reliable for you to ask him to take on such a thing. Why don't I make a trip?" It's better." Li Xian said with some worry, he was also afraid that Li Sen's mistake would spoil Li Cong's affairs.

"Li Xian, you helped me and our family bring out more than a dozen outstanding children. I should thank you, but you didn't do very well in the following things. Why are you always so worried? These children He was born with a golden key in his mouth since he was a child. In the military department, our Li family is still a little too weak. The rise of a family does not depend on one or two people, but on a large number of people. He was born in this The family is to serve the family well, if he doesn't have that ability, I don't think he will be used, this is an opportunity." Li Cong said with a smile, sometimes Li Xian is too stubborn Open, if you don't give young people a chance, you may not grow up in your life. Li Cong also knows that he is a little anxious, but the growth rate of these juniors is really too slow. It is necessary for him to give these guys a little pressure . (To be continued..)
