Chapter 115 Public Opinion Means Nonsense to Victor!
The city of Ensenada and Guadalupe Island jointly applied for local finances to be managed locally. This proposal was passed quickly without any obstruction.
Mexico City?
The election is coming soon, and they don't have much energy to focus on the local area now, because they are not feeling well now.
Anyone who knows Mexican history knows that the 1970s to 2000 was a period of political change, and many evil spirits came out, which also made their control over the local area very limited. (Don't use water words, Baidu yourself~)
In 1989, the tax revenue of the city of Ensenada was 1.06 billion US dollars.
Less than drug trafficking...
But it is long-lasting and legal.
Starting from May, the Ensenada City Hall invested 15 million US dollars in the expansion of the "Ensenada Port", which will become the largest export terminal in northern Mexico.
And then they plan to levy a "port container tax", which will cost 25 US dollars per container!
About 250,000 containers go to the United States through this terminal throughout the year, and basically they will get their money back in three or four years.
The first proposal Casare made after taking office as the mayor of Guadalupe Island was the "Friendly City Assistance Program", which means that the city of Ensenada will provide 200 million US dollars every year to support the construction of the island.
Casare used this money to directly raise the salaries of the police department!
All staff members doubled their salaries!
The lowest paid "auxiliary trainee police officers" also increased directly from 500 US dollars to 1,000 US dollars!
And the salary of EDM official police officers increased from 2,500 US dollars to 5,000 US dollars.
Anyway, this money is paid by the local finance.
Victor's move was simply "brilliant!"
Victor also took advantage of the situation to establish the anti-drug armed force promised by the Mexican government, named: equipo de emergencia nacional de méxico! (Mexico National Emergency Team.) Abbreviated EDN.
This is the third force under his command, but it is a direct subordinate team allowed by law. Although it has 1,500 people, can it not be called a team?
900 young men aged 18 to 21 were recruited from Guadalupe Island, and the rest would be supplemented by veterans. They were trained in skills including armed swimming, survival in adverse environments, and airborne.
Salaries were comparable to those of EDM (Mexican Lions).
Training certainly cannot be completed in a short time, but after a year of super-high intensity, actual combat, and entering the mid-1990s, they will definitely become pioneers in drug eradication!
This brought his men to nearly 3,000 people.
Are they still considered police?
Why not.
These operations greatly reduced Victor's military expenditures, and using government finances to support his own "private soldiers" was a familiar operation.
So much money can't be spent every year, and it can even be used to develop infrastructure.
"Director."
Victor was drinking a little wine in the office when he saw the female secretary running in, "A fight broke out!"
"?? Where did the fight start?"
This little girl was not as concise as Casare, and she didn't know how to get to the point when she spoke.
"The patrol officers near the border of Baja California exchanged fire with the troops stationed in Sonora!"
Police and soldiers exchanged fire?
This is probably not simple.
"Put me on Mr. Alejandro's phone."
...
The east of Baja California and Sonora is actually a piece of open space, where many drug dealers hide, and there are also plantations and laboratories.
In order to maintain local law and order, there is a Mexican army of more than 700 people stationed, numbered: Battalion 36.
You put troops in the drug dealers' dens, isn't this a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth?
Privately, this unit has long been "incorporated" by Sinaloa.
They help drug dealers harm local residents.
Recently, due to the war, many people ran towards Baja California, and this unit was also responsible for intercepting them, but often the means were cruel and they were killed directly.
Kaishar Khamis was driving the car, sweating nervously, with his wife, children and elderly mother sitting in the car.
He was a government worker in Hermosillo, Sonora, but he was honest and his position was not high. He did not have much contact with drug dealers, so he lived a perfunctory life.
But the son of a local drug dealer saw that his wife was very beautiful and wanted to rape her. After all, Kaishar Khamis was a man, so he beat the man to death in a rage. In a panic, he took his family and ran away.
Wanted to go to Baja California.
There... It is said to be very safe!
Puff...
Suddenly, the tire stopped and burst directly. The steering wheel shook, and Kaishar was so scared that he stepped on the brakes and almost hit a tree.
His wife, holding the child behind him, asked nervously, "Are you okay?"
"You sit still, don't get out!"
He unbuckled his seat belt, pushed open the door, and got out. He kicked the front wheel and flattened it. He cursed in a low voice and ran to the trunk to change the tire. Suddenly, he heard a male voice with a heavy Spanish accent, "There's a rabbit here!"
Kaishar raised his head and saw a dozen soldiers in military uniforms coming out, looking at him jokingly.
He raised his hand and was about to speak when the other party opened fire.
Bang, bang, bang...
The bullet killed him directly, and blood splashed on the window behind the car. Kaishaer Khamis was lying in the trunk of the car with his eyes wide open, and the soldier hit his head hard with the butt of the gun.
This scared the family members in the car so much that they cried out.
The wife covered the child's mouth and tears welled up in her eyes, but how could she hide?
The soldiers bribed by the drug dealers saw that there were still people in the car, grinned at each other, and fired directly at the car body.
The bullets passed through the iron door and hit them all over.
The bastards were still screaming.
Because they could get $20 for killing a person who fled to Lower California.
The Sinaloa drug cartel is really crazy.
Just as they were about to cut off the head to claim credit, the police patrolling over after hearing the gunshots saw this scene and immediately opened fire.
Both sides began to call for help.
An EDTV (Emergency Terrorist Mobile Team) patrolling the border, with about 150 members, heard the support message and quickly arrived at the battlefield and exchanged fire with the soldiers of the 36th Battalion who had just arrived.
With fierce firepower, 47 people were killed on the other side and 6 people were injured and killed.
This incident immediately became a "hot search".
All TV stations in Sonora State are accusing this behavior, calling it: "The tyrant's troops are cruel to soldiers!"
And called on the Mexican government to remove Victor from his post.
Other drug dealers also waved their flags and shouted when they saw this.
Even a male host of a TV program commented directly in front of the audience, "Victor is a warlord who satisfies his own desires. He can't consider the Mexican people. It is said that he has more than 21 luxury cars and 73 luxury houses in his name. He has a deposit of 1 billion US dollars in Swiss banks. May I ask, where did he get all this money from!"
He also pointed at the camera and cursed him: "Greedy to disgusting idiot!"
"The new tyrant of Mexicans!"
The ratings of this program soared immediately.
The host was furious, and the TV station quickly added his program, with one purpose every day, to discredit Victor.
And, new "news" will appear every day.
Victor has 8 mistresses in the United States.
He has 16 illegitimate children in Guatemala.
He even has a mansion in Baja California where he keeps 17 women for his own desires.
As if…
32 states, 31 states’ opinions changed instantly, and Victor’s positive image was shaky.
Casare looked at the male host on TV who kept expressing himself with body language, listened to his filthy remarks, and sighed.
“Why do people always think that Victor will follow the rules?”
