Working as a police officer in Mexico

Southern Drug Dealer Alliance!

There are a lot, a lot of people going south.

Especially in Oaxaca State, being the "frontline position," they have to accept hundreds of thousands of refugees, naturally resulting in tremendous pressure.

Some people, driven by hunger, would get involved in serious criminal cases.

The Capital Oaxaca has seen 110 violent clashes in three days, with 67 people killed...

This situation has forced the drug trafficker government to deploy the military to control public order.

"Snap!"

Southern Government's drug trafficker Defense Minister, known as "Golden Grasshopper" Arturo Desena, slammed the folder on the table, his face flushed and neck thickened, "I have never, ever, ever seen such law and order!"

"Fuck! When we were trafficking drugs in the north, we never caused such a mess, these new refugees are just a bunch of trash, rubbish!"

It was clear that it took quite a lot to get him so infuriated.

Evidently, the quality of the refugees going south was worrying.

Deputy Defense Minister Endric Vinicius also looked worried, "Boss, we need to take action, they have severely damaged our business environment."

As he said this, he even took out his mobile phone, frowning, "I have had seven or eight calls already, a number of factories have complained to me."

No mistake about it...

Business environment!

Although the Southern Government was made up of drug traffickers, they were still brainy, most of them having been "abroad" to learn from the neighbors.

For example, when young, Arturo Desena had gone to Texas to join Mexican gangs like the "California 18th Street Gang," smuggling drugs, home appliances, also been to jail, and finally joined the Mexican military upon returning, then rose to the top, eventually becoming the Regent in a treacherous political climate.

He was worldly, or in the current lingo, a "stay abroad" case.

Under his guidance, the Southern Government issued 17 "Drug Certificates," only those holding these certificates were allowed to deal drugs!

These 17 became the "franchisees" of this "Deformed Government," including the Gulf Group, remnants of the Tijuana Cartel, and the "Knights Templar Cartel" evolved from the Michoacán Family, and so on.

They were like feudal lords being handed out territories in the south, allowed to produce drugs but had to report quantities each month, then pay "drug tax"!

Of course, there were those who didn't cooperate, but did you think Arturo Desena's "Los Zetas" were there for fun?

I've been defeated by the Northern Army before, but that doesn't mean I can't beat you?

The government has soldiers, which means it has money, and with money comes soldiers.

These "17 feudal lords" had to agree, whether they liked it or not.

Then they would bring in foreign investment to secure their rights, with many Americans' factories moving south after being heavily hit in the north, like General Motors, Apple factories, and so on.

And they relied on the tourist resources of Yucatan Island...

From January to July 1991...

Southern Government's GDP reached a whopping 198.9 billion US dollars!!!

While Victor had just over 90 billion...

More than double the difference.

This money was used by Regent Arturo Desena to expand the military, build a network, increase drug production, support the tourism industry, and also to pay dividends to the CIA and the Latin American drug trafficking group behind Colombian Pablo Escobar.

You think...

The Southern Alliance is like the Popovich Government in the middle?

They have no backing?

One call, and the Guatemalan Air Force can rush in to help within half an hour.

Arturo Desena is a smart man; otherwise, he wouldn't have occupied this position.

The Southern Government was very deformed, the people at the bottom suffered miserably and lived even more wretched lives, and to prevent them from causing trouble, at most they were given some relief food, like nearly moldy cakes or expired milk.

The most profitable were still those drug traffickers and foreign capitalists!

Ever since the last airstrike by the Northern Army...

Arturo Desena asked the American side for a full set of air defense radar systems and anti-aircraft weapons, at whatever price, name it!

He wouldn't blink.

The Southern Alliance was like a black tiger roaring at the north!

"Order the 36th Brigade to enter Oaxaca, control the streets!"

Upon hearing that his "fathers" were threatened, Arturo Desena's expression darkened, "Distribute those refugees to every state, then confine them in the slums, deploy troops and police to control the exits, starting today, the poor are not allowed into the main urban areas, not allowed out of the slums!"

"And, starting from October, impose a sanitation fee on the refugees, 3 US dollars per person per quarter!"

Deputy Defense Minister Endric Vinicius was ruthless, but he shuddered upon hearing this...

The boss's order was basically letting them self-destruct!

With substandard medical care and supplies in the slums, and rampant crimes, it's feared that more people would die soon.

"How do we classify a refugee?"

"Those with an annual income below 10,000 US dollars..."

Endric Vinicius took a deep breath and nodded, "Understood!"

Arturo Desena picked up a "Gurkha Royal Courtesan" cigar from the table, smelled it under his nose—a very fragrant aroma—put it in his mouth, and lit it.

This thing...

Was quite pricey!

Essentially one cigar for a house.

But no worries, drug traffickers were rich; if they couldn't afford it, then hardly anyone could.

"What about our orders, what does the American side say?" Arturo Desena tossed aside a 30,000 US dollar lighter and squinted, asking about business matters.

"The Pentagon has been a bit chaotic lately, the Defense Minister got blown up, and it's very disordered now, but I heard that both Boeing Company and Raytheon Company agreed."

The Southern Alliance spent 3.6 billion US dollars to buy 12 F-16 fighter jets, more than a dozen "Harpoon" anti-ship missiles and 24 "Sidewinder" air-to-air missiles!
