Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Qi. There is such a "great benevolent man" in Colombia, who builds schools and hospitals for the residents, and invests in many factories so that the people here can live a good life. It can be said that he has invested a lot of energy in this land, but just such a person is also a complete killer demon king, so what kind of life does he have and what makes him legendary.
First taste of sweetness
Pablo Escobar, born in 1949, lives in a slum on the outskirts of Medellán, Colombia. Pablo's father was so desperate that he lost all the family's farm, after which Pablo's father ran away. So Pablo grew up suffering from the blank stares and poverty of others. After living in this environment for a long time, Pablo had the idea of making a lot of money. What did Pablo do afterwards to realize this idea? Due to his family's poverty, Pablo left school at a very young age and became a street gangster. In addition to using violent means to protect himself and his family, he also did some theft, and at first Pablo was very cautious, just stealing other people's tombstones, erasing the words on them, and then selling them in exchange for some living expenses.
Later, his courage began to grow, and he began to steal cars and change hands. Seeing that he made a lot of money, several fox friends around him also joined his team and did the business of stealing cars and selling parts together, at this time Pablo found that it felt good to be a big brother, he did not have to work much, and the income was good, so he quietly set an ambition for himself to be a gangster boss. Because Pablo was rich and very intelligent, Pablo's team soon grew and formed a lot of power in the local area. But there is an old Chinese saying that he often walks by the river, where there are shoes that are not wet, and as the theft of cars becomes more and more rampant, the police soon notice him, and just when the police are ready to crack down on him and suppress it, Pablo finds the police and bribes them.
Under the attack of sugar-coated shells, the police soon lost their position and stood on Pablo's side, every time the police saw Pablo's men, they called them brothers and brothers, and over time, the police even directly helped Pablo to provide new car license plates and help Pablo sell stolen cars. In the case of the police and Pablo colluding, the local residents even began to pay Pablo directly for the safety of the car, so whether Pablo stole the car or not, he could get the money, and it may be more convenient not to steal the car. Over time, Pablo began to look down on the small profits of stealing cars and collecting protection fees, and Pablo made a decision after thinking about it, and he wanted to start a "business" again. So what did he do next?
Start a business again
When he was not impressed with the small money earned by stealing cars, Pablo locked his eyes on the rich people again, and he began to let his men lock in the rich and kidnap them, and then get a high ransom. This trick works very well, much faster than stealing cars and selling cars to collect protection fees to accumulate wealth. But in the process of kidnapping the rich, the problem also appeared, some rich people can not be safely released after providing the corresponding ransom, but are likely to be killed. For example, some notorious entrepreneurs, as long as they are kidnapped, it means that death is beckoning to him. Although it is illegal to kill people, it can also be regarded as a bad breath for the local people, and over time Pablo has become an idol of many people in the local area, and has also won the title of Robin Hood of Colombia.
Since then, more and more people have joined his team, which is also a fame and fortune for Pablo, that is, receiving money and people, and also being supported by society and gaining a good reputation. But after some time, Pablo discovered that the money wasn't coming in fast enough, so he focused on the faster drug trafficking. In the 1970s, Pablo began his drug production and drug trafficking business, but then again, Pablo is still very principled in his work, he himself does not use drugs and stipulates that people around him cannot use drugs, try not to sell drugs in China, and the main direction of the market is set in the United States. The regulations are more principled, but no one knows how the specific implementation will be, but Pablo has done a relatively good job in the matter of drug delivery to the United States.
He did everything he could to open up the U.S. market and later made nearly $3 billion in the drug trade in just a few years. What's even more interesting is Pablo's transformation into one of the seven richest people in the world. Seeing that his wealth empire was getting larger and larger, Pablo was not idle, and began to use the wealth in his hands to build his own armed forces, according to reliable data reports at the time, Pablo's armed forces at that time were as many as 50,000 people, and these people were well-equipped, compared with the local government army, which was a very favorable guarantee for Pablo's wealth empire, and Pablo was more fearless after the army to do drug trade.
He even bought a plane dedicated to transporting drugs. Through these convenient conditions, Pablo's money empire is getting bigger and bigger, driven by a lot of wealth, Pablo has done a lot of good things for the local area, building houses, building schools and hospitals for the poor, issuing subsidies for the locals, and even creating many enterprises and factories to promote local employment. Pablo's local business was in full swing, but there was also an old Chinese saying that the rafters that could be exported rot quickly, and it was not long before Pablo became a thorn in the side of the Colombian government, and Pablo's money empire was on the road to collapse.
Come to the end
Seeing that Pablo's money empire was getting bigger and bigger, and slowly walking to the point of being rich and invincible, the Colombian government began to be unable to sit still, so the government side repeatedly attacked Pablo, but due to Pablo's armed forces and super anti-reconnaissance ability, the police did not catch Pablo several times. In the end, Colombia's attorney general had no choice but to issue a warrant and offer a reward of $100 million to arrest Pablo, but unfortunately, it was not long before the prosecutor also died inexplicably on the street, and who killed him is still a mystery. At this time, the minister of justice began to sit still and chose to publicly criticize Pablo, and soon after the minister of justice also died inexplicably in the car, after a series of assassinations, the senior officials of the Colombian government were all at risk, even the president had to be careful if he wanted to fight drugs.
Even so, Pablo gave him a chance to get off the hook, using fighter jets to force the Colombian Navy helicopter to land at his own airfield, and then took it for himself, and the government could not do anything about it. Until the early 1980s, the Colombian government was really intolerable, mobilizing an army of more than 5,000 people to unite with American fighter jets to launch a campaign against Pablo, and the attack on Pablo's lair was still good, killing nearly 200 people and capturing more than 1,000 people. A long tug-of-war ensued between the government and Pablo. Within a month, Pablo had his new attorney general assassinated in retaliation. He then even had his men rush into the government building and kidnapped all the high-ranking officials who were holding the meeting, but they were resisted by the building's guards.
Pablo's side was still unable to achieve its goal in the continuous increase in manpower, and the fierce battle continued until late at night, and Pablo's side left with 5 judges and 1 sheriff after seeing that there was not much trouble. Later, through the report of the government side, it can be seen that in this battle, the government side suffered heavy losses, not only was 6 people taken away, nearly 50 people died, and the judicial building was blown up by Pablo. In addition to this more horrific armed operation, Pablo will kill more than 20,000 Colombians over the next decade, including nearly 5,000 government officials, including not only judges, police officers and presidential candidates. Later, the Colombian government could not bear it anymore, and once again joined forces with the United States army to arrest Pablo, and in the joint operation, Pablo's lair was destroyed one by one.
Pablo began to feel tired and offered his willingness to surrender to the government. But there was a request that the prison be built by himself, and the government at first agreed to his proposal, and then let him live in the prison he built, but it was not long before Pablo learned that the government had changed his mind and wanted to transfer him to the government prison, which made Pablo really unacceptable, so he escaped from prison. In order to capture Pablo who escaped from prison, the Colombian government has made great efforts. Thanks to the efforts of many parties, the government finally determined his position, quickly encircled and suppressed him, and killed him on the spot. At this point, the life of the drug lord Pablo Gaoguang also came to an end. Pablo's life can be described as legendary, as far as the matter is concerned, although his killing and selling drugs is very undesirable, but his kindness and practice of feeding his country are very commendable.
