Parka, a major town on the border of Brazil in southeastern Colombia. Because it is located in the depths of the Amazon jungle, the main way to communicate with the outside world is to go through the water. In addition, Colombia itself is an agricultural country and its economy is relatively backward. Therefore, Parka, a small town located on the edge of Waupes Province, is of course an extraordinary poverty.
In recent times, with the government's victory over the guerrilla offensive, Bogota has considered establishing a province with Mitu as the administrative center and the entire Waupe River basin as the region, named Waupe Province, symbolically indicating that this area has been owned by Wanghua
But in fact, in the wider jungle area, the scope of actual control of government forces is quite limited
Just like in Parka, the city is managed by the government, and once it enters the suburbs, it is an area of guerrilla armed activities.
Government troops are humans, and guerrillas are also humans. If you put down your weapons, no one can tell who is a member of the guerrilla team at a glance. Even in the depths of the jungle outside Parka, guerrillas exist in every village.
Therefore, without understanding the connection method, it is difficult for ordinary people to find traces of guerrillas, let alone drug dealers who hide deeper.
It was not easy for Mendo to lead Li Zaian and the others to safely come to Parka. After arriving at Parka, he couldn't help with the rest of the matter. For this reason, the group found a hotel called Dupares in Parka. Li Zaian gave Men a commission of 10,000 US dollars, so he told him not to participate in the rest of the matter.
Parka's economic conditions are indeed very backward. The tallest building in the entire city is a wooden water tower. This water tower is really high, as high as four floors. The government forces also set up a wait-and-see and wait-and-see on the water tower to prevent guerrilla attacks.
The government army was controlled by Parker at the end of last month, so there was no local management department. The entire city was under military control. You can often see Colombian government soldiers carrying guns and ammunition on the streets, and occasionally you can see one or two well-equipped American soldiers.
Look at the very distinctive camouflage ring umbrella hats and armbands on the American soldiers, these guys should be Delta soldiers who came to cooperate with the Colombian government forces to engage in special operations.
Li Zai'an and his group arrived at Parka for the first three days without taking any action. He had to wait and see the situation and learn about the recent battle situation of Wopes.
Opposite the Dupares Hotel, there is a bar in the city. It is open all day, with high-quality wine and many charming and sexy Colombian beauties. By the way, as a country rich in beauties, there is no shortage of beauties on the streets of any city in Colombia.
Parka is such a poor place, walking on the compact mud street, no young girl you see at will seems to be ugly. She has the sexy and charming facial features of Westerners, her hot figure and delicate skin of Easterners, and her flowing long curly hair in millet, which really attracts men's attention.
As the only bar in the city, the small bar opposite Dupares is only open to the public during the day, and after 8 o'clock in the evening, it becomes a place for American soldiers to gather.
Every night, those Colombian beauties who want to make US dollars will flock to you
In fact, there are no regulations to restrict locals from entering the bar after 8 o'clock, but these American soldiers were only a few dozen people, chattering and speaking English that locals couldn't understand, so few locals were willing to join in the fun.
For Li Zaian, this bar has become the best place for him to find out the news. He can speak fluent and authentic American English. His previous experiences have given him a lot of knowledge about American customs. In addition, he has a lot of money and is a popular man. With a deliberate contact, he met a large number of Americans in the bar in just one or two days, including an army chief named Brent Colin.
……
As usual, the bar was once again filled with the glitz of drinking after eight o'clock. More than 20 American soldiers who had changed their training clothes gathered together to flirt with the beautiful women dressed up.
Brent is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is tall and burly with a flat head. The most conspicuous organ on his national-shaped face is the scarlet big nose. Because of this feature, he has a nickname in this Delta army: The Red Nose Devil
...At that time, Connie was like this, sitting side by side with Li Zai'an in front of the bar, Brent held a high-quality Cuban handmade cigar in his hand. While shaking his body back and forth like a duck, he said loudly, touching the rugby like this, when he was two steps away, the white phosphorus bomb fell down, and at most one second, poor Connie turned into an extra-large turkey...
The Connie mentioned in his mouth was a special forces member under his command. This afternoon, the U.S. camp where the U.S. military was attacked by guerrillas. At that time, Connie was playing rugby with his teammates, but was hit by a flying white phosphorus bomb and burned to death on the spot.
Speaking of Connie becoming an extra-large turkey, Brent stopped, he was silent for a moment, raised a glass of brandy in front of him, and said loudly: Connie!
The sound was loud, and all the American soldiers in the bar could hear it. Everyone raised the wine glass and shouted: Connie!
We are with God! Brent shouted again
Roar! Everyone responded to the unique cheers of the American soldiers
It seems that today is an unusual day. Actually, I like Connie very much and hope that everything will be fine in heaven. Lee Zai'an took a sip of his rum and said to the bartender at the bar, all the expenses here are mine tonight, including the tips for the girls.
As you wish, sir. It is not the first time that Li Zaian treats a big deal here. The bartender is used to it. Anyway, he lives in the hotel opposite. Every morning he can always get real US dollars when he goes to his checkout.
Li, you are so generous. Brent sighed. In fact, Li Zaian will always treat you these two nights. Although the consumption here is very low, some things are more expensive than outside. For example, the cigar in his hand costs 1,000 US dollars.
Of course, Brent also knew that there must be something hidden behind Li Zaian's generosity. It was illegal for him to smuggle from St. Paul into Colombia.
What he said was that he planned to set up a yellow sandalwood processing factory in Parka. Regardless of whether this statement was true or not, the matter of harvesting yellow sandalwood itself is also illegal.
Yellow sandalwood is a rare tree species. Colombia strictly restricts logging, but this business is profitable. One party can use the best yellow sandalwood for pianos. The price in the international market is as high as 20,000 US dollars, so there are always people who risk illegally doing it.
For Brent, what is Li Zaian's identity and what he does have nothing to do with him. Not to mention small things like eating and drinking, even if he collects money and returns it to Li Zaian, he will not be able to go to the military court afterwards. Even if the senior officials at the top know, they will only think about making big things turn into small things and small things, so as not to smear the military's face.
After all, this is Colombia, not in the United States
This is my honor, Li Zaian smiled and said lightly
Yes, Li, how is your business? Are you looking at it? Brent asked in a low voice when he buzzed the ash on the cigar.
There is no clue yet. Li Zaichang looked disappointed and shook his head and said, "The main reason is that this damn war will be fought. The entire Parker Abdu belongs to the military control area. There is no department responsible for the matter like investment and construction."
Of course Brent is very clear about these things. In fact, he also knows one thing, that is, Parker will not be able to lift military control in the next few years. In another two months, after the Columbia coalition clears the strength of the guerrillas in the suburbs of Parker, the Colombian military will hand over the actual control of the here to the US military so that the US military can maintain long-term deterrence in the region.
Parker base will not be very large in size, it is just a secondary military base. According to the news obtained by Brent, once this base is completed, it may only be stationed in a long-term military scale of three to five hundred people.
But its function is very critical, because using helicopters as carrier tools, soldiers here can be delivered to the four countries of Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil within an hour and a half. In other words, its military radiation power is very strong.
Brent is currently the highest commander of the US military in Colombia, and has been operating in Colombia for a long time. Logically speaking, he is the most qualified to serve as the commander of this base. Unfortunately, if you want to become the commander of an overseas base, you need to be a lieutenant colonel at the lowest level. Brent is not qualified at the moment.
For this reason, he has been working on the upper and lower levels recently, hoping to get this qualification before things are settled.
There is no doubt that it costs money to manage superiors. Brent was born in a blue-collar worker family. He has been in the army for so many years. He can take out 100,000 and 200,000, but if he has more, there is nothing he can do.
Previously, Brent had contacted a very experienced lobbyist. The other party offered $500,000 and could get everything done for him within a month. Brent needs to seize this opportunity, so he needs money
Li, maybe you can try to start the factory first, and then blast the cigar in your hand. This time, there is no smoke and ash on the cigar. After all, it is the first time to do such a thing. Brent is still a little nervous, but of course, he is more excited - this is how people feel when they commit a crime for the first time.
In recent times, with the government's victory over the guerrilla offensive, Bogota has considered establishing a province with Mitu as the administrative center and the entire Waupe River basin as the region, named Waupe Province, symbolically indicating that this area has been owned by Wanghua
