One Tijuana
The city of Tijuana was founded in 1889, located in the far northwest of Mexico, to the west is the vast Pacific Ocean, with a coastline of 57 kilometers, to the north is the lighthouse country of the United States, 19 kilometers north, you can reach San Diego, California, and more than 200 kilometers, is the super city of Los Angeles.
Tijuana average annual temperature of 20 degrees, dry and rainy, originally a border town, mainly by opening a casino to survive, and then the United States and Mexico signed an investment agreement, the United States to the northern border of Mexico to engage in industry, Tijuana's electronics, automobiles, machinery and other industries developed rapidly, the economic strength ranked fourth in Mexico, China's TCL here also has a factory of 1600 people, the workers are all old ink, a year can produce 3 million sets of 75 inches or more color TVs, specially supplied to the U.S. market.
Tijuana is now a city with a permanent population of 2 million and a floating population, and the tourism service industry is also moving fast with the economy, of which the sex industry is the fastest growing and has become a golden sign in Tijuana.
Every year, the number of people clearing customs at the U.S.-Mexico border in Tijuana is as high as 50 million, and the customs clearance traffic is known as the world's first, a large part of which is specially traveled from the United States to Tijuana to prostitute, and Tijuana's annual prostitution income is as high as billions of dollars.
There are two kinds of stand street women in Tijuana's red light district, one is to dress as cool as possible, a set of ordinary legless fitted high heels, standing in the corner of the wall waiting for customers to come to the door, as shown in the following figure:
Another is better to distinguish, most of them have fat buttocks, wear a strange campus style short skirt, with a pair of snow-white white stockings on their legs, some prostitutes do not even wear underwear for the convenience of work, and the wind exposes their fat ass as soon as they blow in order to attract customers.
The little mexican sisters are all hard to say...
The reason why they are dressed like this is because American customers are good at this mouth, in the "Playboy" sexual survey of American men, 60% of people hope that when they are intimate with their partners, they can wear white stockings, in order to satisfy the sexual fantasies of American men, Tijuana prostitutes try to do what they like.
As in all parts of the world, pornography is a traditional business run by gangsters, and behind almost every prostitute is a gang of Mexican drug dealers.
On almost every street corner where there are prostitutes, there will be tattooed men walking around not far away, and these gangsters are responsible for managing two or three girls each, both to prevent the girls from being harassed and protect their safety, and to exert strong workplace pressure on them to focus on soliciting customers and not trying to escape.
Dressed in ordinary street women are generally free, come to the red light district to do business, as long as a certain percentage of the local gangsters to hand over a certain percentage of the drawing can be, and girls wearing plaid skirts, often because of drug addiction, or owe the gang usury, in order to repay the money, can only come to the street to serve American tourists, become gangster slaves, to the gang as an ATM.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on the last Sunday of every month, it is the prescribed deadline for the women on the street of Tijuana to pay, and the gangsters will come and collect money in turn, and if the women on the street do not pay enough, there will be very terrible things.
Before reading the text below, take a breath, hold your breath, and be mentally prepared.
Ordinary street women who live freely, if the money handed in is not enough, they will be beaten, disfigured, chopped off, and girls wearing plaid skirts, in addition to the above treatment, may also be beheaded, or thrown into a shredder to cut into meat sauce, so that her flesh will disappear from the world forever.
The wood crusher is a tool commonly used to destroy corpses in the Americas, and the famous work of Chinese detective Li Changyu is that in 1986, after a flight attendant was killed by her husband in the United States, the body was smashed by the broken wood machine and thrown into the lake, this case is very deceitful, everyone has time to investigate.
However, the common method used by gangsters is to behead.
In order to make these girls desperately earn money, but also in order to eliminate the old and fading girls, and at the same time to give the new girls a will, the gangsters will set performance goals for them every month, and if they can't complete the KPI, they have to pull to the back hill of downtown Tijuana and cut off their heads.
So every month near the end of the last Sunday, tijuana's street women are extremely anxious, in order to solicit customers will do everything possible, dress up a little more beautifully, or a little lower price, out of the need to attract American tourists, even if the temperature is as high as 40 degrees, these days Tijuana city underwear store long white stockings will sell out of stock.
This may be the most brutal KPI in the world, and the girls who are restless on the streets of Tijuana at the end of the month, full of fear, and who are particularly proactive, may be the one who will be pulled directly to the head beheaded after the completion of the performance.
If they are sure that they can't complete the task, they will dress up well before dying, and the gangster execution team will escort them to the scenic back mountain, they will take off their shoes, the tip of the shoe will face the direction of home, and kneel on a small cushion in long white stockings, overlooking the city of Tijuana.
The reason why you have to take off your shoes is because according to the cultural tradition of this side of South America, people without heads cannot see the way home, only by turning the tip of the shoe in the direction of going home, the soul knows how to go home, this habit is not popular among girls for a long time, in 2017, a girl with Indian ancestry named Ella was the first to do this, and the girl who faced death later learned to do it.
When everything was ready, the girls trembled and knelt down, and the gang executioners would raise their machetes and cut off their heads with one knife, and the long-awaited vicious dogs would pounce on them and bite the girls' heads as a delicacy.
After the gangs were executed, their bodies were usually abandoned and buried on the spot, so the rotting remains that emitted a foul smell and were torn to pieces by wild dogs could often be seen on the back hills.
A day or two ago, they were ordinary street women wearing lipstick and white stockings on the streets of Tijuana.
In 2009, Mexican police found hundreds of remains in a place called "chicken coop" in Tijuana, in fact, they can not be called remains, to be precise, some fragments of human bones, fat, skin tissue, after investigation, it was found that these hundreds of people were solved by a person named Santiago Meza Lopez.
After some people were killed, the bodies were transported to this side, and before Lopez worked, he first prepared two oil drums, a few pounds of caustic soda, rubber gloves and gas masks, and then soaked the whole body in an oil drum filled with caustic soda and put it overnight, and then threw the corpse into the valley the next day.
Investigators found a total of 16,500 liters of acidic liquid and 170-200 kilograms of human bones at the site of the attack, where it is estimated that the bodies of 650 victims were buried.
Lopez later admitted that he had dissolved all 650 of them.
It is more professional than the gangster who guards the street woman.
Because of Lopez's unique method of destroying corpses, he had a bloody nickname in the local area, and everyone called him "Soup Man".
The one in the middle is Lopez
By killing people and dissolving corpses, Lopez, who could earn about 4,000 yuan a week at that time, confessed after his arrest that December 2007 was the busiest time in his business, and he disposed of 32 corpses in a month, and had to work overtime every day.
In order to fight so much money, it is better to come to China's first-tier cities to deliver takeaways to Run Didi.
Born in the poor countryside of Sinaloa, Lopez first worked as a construction worker on the U.S.-Mexico border, ran errands for drug gangs for years in order to earn more money, and slowly gained the trust of the leadership, and the drug dealers gave him a middle-level position as a transportation center administrator.
Drug dealer group in order to grab the territory often to kill people and set fires, at first killed people to throw things into the river, but the body is still easy to be recognized by the police and find clues, and then the group leader went to visit the chemistry professor, from Israel to invite a professional to teach them to make corpses, Lopez had no intention of being selected to become a technical backbone, in 1996 was sent to learn for six months, learned a good craft, Lopez at first felt that doing this line is quite disgusting, after dissolving the first person with 200 liters of acid, he said that he "never wanted to do it again", The local gangsters helped him increase his salary, and also bought five insurances and one gold, we all know, "orcs will never be slaves, unless they eat and wrap up", for the sake of money, Lopez will do a line, love a line, work hard for more than ten years, and even teach a number of apprentices, and become the master of the industry's founding sect.
Those who were dissolved by Lopez were mainly the native Tijuana mob, the Big Boss Of the Arellano Felix, Teodoro. Garcia. Rivals of Teodoro Garcia Simental.
The Arellano brothers are just a branch of the Mexican drug world, in the 1990s rampage through Tijuana, and then by black and white double-sided attack, dead, crippled, has been reduced to a third-rate local gangster, Tijuana Chinese in an interview with me said, the main local territory is already the world of Zetas, the Aleliano brothers left a big empty house in Tijuana, no one has taken care of it, there is a Chinese who went to Tijuana in 2002 to settle down, and lived opposite the house at the earliest time. According to him, the Arellano brothers were no longer able to do so.
The story of the Seta group I have done in detail in "Mexico Once Upon a Time", they were originally composed of special forces, killing people without blinking, strong combat effectiveness, but the sharp edge is too exposed, and all drug cartels are fighting for turf, chasing after other drug dealer groups, typical understanding of military and do not understand politics, everyone is forced to rush, pull the government together to clean up Seta a meal, now also decayed, the sphere of influence is small, they have their own newspaper in Tijuana (the drug dealer office newspaper is also quite magical), and now they set KPIs for the women on the street, It should be seta people, but in front of the two major drug cartels CJNG and Sinaloa, it is now just a little brother who can't get on the table.
The origins of the CJNG, Sinaloa, and the Arellano brothers are all related to the ancient boss, Felix Gallardo.
Only by understanding the history of Mr. Galado's rise will you understand why Mexico is trapped in the world of drugs.
2carado
Born in 1946 in the Mexican province of Sinaloa, Gallado dreamed of becoming a good police officer as a teenager, and joined the police force at the age of 17, starting as a rookie in the police industry.
But as a police officer in Mexico, the income is really low, and those drug dealers are really annoying, always want to stuff money for themselves, colleagues all collect money, they don't collect it themselves, so it seems unsociable.
So the ideal quickly lost to reality.
In the process of anti-drug enforcement, Galado became acquainted with various drug dealer organizations, patrons ate mountains, relied on water to draft water, managed drug dealers, of course, had to ask them for silver, Galado and the various drug dealer organizations in his jurisdiction area privately made an agreement, asking them to pay regular protection fees, they could sell their drugs well, do not go to them for trouble, sometimes in the anti-drug crackdown, a large number of seized drugs into their private cars, and then handed over the drugs to obedient horses to sell, making a lot of money.
Galado is a personal spirit, does not eat alone, knows how to play up and down, has benefits to share together, will take part of the money earned to bribe Sinaloa Governor Sanchez and other high-ranking officials, everyone privately received money, all think that this young man is good, good work, the future is immeasurable.
Galado took money to buy people's hearts and minds, drug dealers and the government have his nemesis, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and finally aroused the vigilance of the Mexican police, launched a secret investigation against him, in 1971 Galado was accused of smuggling drugs, but Governor Sanchez is his acquaintance, naturally want to protect him, only gave him a slight punishment of expulsion from the police.
After losing his job, Galado became the bodyguard of the governor of Sinaloa, nominally a bodyguard, in fact, a bit like the governor's economic man, using the governor's power and connections to build a huge drug network in Sinaloa, and hooked up with two major departments of power: the Mexican Federal Security Command, and the CIA in the United States.
The CIA has always known that Galado is selling drugs, they have participated in drug cultivation and trade all over the world, making some money and welfare from it, the attitude of the CIA side is: Lao Tzu is desperate for the country every day, how about making some money from drugs? how! Yikes! Yikes!
Drug trafficking is only one of the means of the CIA to make money privately, in the 1980s, CIA Director Casey in order to subvert the Nicaragua regime, privately sold arms to Iran, made money to take profits to fund the rebel army, and privately obtained the approval of President Reagan, for the sake of funding, also produced cocaine in Central and South America, and then used the privilege to transport cocaine back to the United States, re-sold to Los Angeles drug lord Ross, originally the city of Los Angeles drug addiction is an aristocratic movement, only middle-class white men take drugs, Because of the flood of cheap cocaine into Los Angeles, black people rushed to fashion, but also smoked, in 1982-1986, the CIA sold a total of several tons of drugs to Rose, since then the drugs into the black community of Los Angeles, the source of The increasingly serious drug problem in Los Angeles is here.
Galado's rise is actually the result of the corruption of the Mexican government and the full assistance of the CIA, otherwise he would not have been able to integrate drug trafficking channels throughout Mexico in such a short period of time.
Fate is also behind history.
Before 1980, the drugs sent to the United States, mainly from Colombia, the big boss of this work, is the first arrogant drug lord in history, Pablo, when this brother was arrogant to the extreme, there were 40,000 private troops, sent people to gang rape and try his judge's wife, armed attack on the Colombian Ministry of Justice, successfully assassinated the Colombian attorney general, is the colombian underground emperor, and finally provoked the United States, in 1989 sent 50 F16 fighters to razed his base to the ground, suggesting that everyone can watch the American drama "Drug Lord" The first season, which is about Pablo's story, the first season of "Narcos" is extremely exciting, and it can't stop watching like drug use.
Pablo, the first arrogant drug dealer in history
Colombians transport drugs to Florida by sea and air, and then distribute them throughout the United States through Florida, so Miami has always been very bad, and drug shootouts often occur.
After Reagan took office, he decided to kill this wave of arrogant Colombian drug dealers, put Vice President George H.W. Bush in charge of forming a special anti-drug force, and in 1982 successively raided the banks that supported drug dealers, broke the economic chain of drug dealers, and intercepted drug trafficking ships and planes in the sea and sky, which took only 8 months to suddenly crush 56% of Florida's drug trafficking volume.
Colombians see that this is not OK, they can't take the waterway, they have to take the dry road, first go to Mexico to explore the way.
At this time, the biggest speaker among Mexican drug dealers was Garado, who relied on the accumulation of the drug dealer community and the help of the government and the CIA, and from 1971, after ten years, he had unified all drug trafficking organizations in the west and north, and established mexico's first Guadalajara drug trafficking alliance, known as the godfather of the Mexican drug world.
Pablo had to go to him to cooperate, and the two sides reached an agreement, and then Colombian drugs entered the United States overland through Mexico, and then returned the cash to Pablo after they were transferred to American buyers in Texas, California.
At this time, Galado was simply overwhelmed, and the business volume increased dramatically.
In Mexico in the 1980s, drug smuggling was regarded as a key project for the benefit of the country and the people, and Garado's business was carried out with the acquiescence of the government, the ruling party at that time was called the "Revolutionary Institutional Party", from members of Congress to window civil servants to provide cover for Garado's drug trafficking, anyway, drugs were sold to Americans, as long as we could make money, we also turned a blind eye.
Desperate Colombians not only brought wealth to the Mexicans, but also brought the technology to get rich, before Pablo came to cooperate, the Mexicans themselves will only make some low-end inferior marijuana and "black tar" opium, the finished product is quite a cannon, and the Colombians deal with more, come and go, the wine table drinks and drinks on the brotherhood, pat the chest and worship, exchange technology with each other, the Mexicans carry forward a sense of studiousness, humbly ask for advice, step by step to overcome the key links in drug production, It has reached the international advanced level and filled the gap in Mexico's domestic drug production technology, and advanced drug trafficking representatives have praised it.
Under the guidance of the Colombians, the Mexicans gradually mastered advanced refining technology, and finally turned from low-end products such as marijuana and opium to high-tech cool new drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, and since then they have entered the international market, not only transporting drugs, but also making drugs, creating foreign exchange for the country, creating employment for the people, benefiting the country and the people, and winning the unanimous support of the people of the whole country.
Mexicans are very concerned about the world's advanced drug-making technology, China once had a strange drug dealer called Liu Zhaohua, dropped out of high school, served as a soldier for seven years, also worked as a bailiff for several years, wanted to make more money after resigning, self-taught chemistry knowledge to make drugs, in order to understand the most important crystallization process, in the name of making diet pills to consult the retired old professor of the Department of Chemistry of Southwest University, actually created a method of making methamphetamine, a total of 31 tons of new methamphetamine with a concentration of 99%, in 1999, he alone made methamphetamine, It was close to half of the global production at that time!
His mother's is even worse than the Jedi.
The biggest hobby of this brother is actually planting yew trees, the most rewarding thing is to have the world's largest yew forest, drug production is only his way to make money, in 2005 was arrested, and later shot.
When Liu Zhaohua was arrested
Liu Zhaohua invented the method of making drugs without ephedrine, Mexicans heard, hungry to death, Galado's personal disciple "dwarf" Guzman in order to learn this craft, sent people to China to find Liu Zhaohua, the result was not contacted, after Liu Zhaohua was arrested in 2005, Guzman found out that Liu Zhaohua's wife's family was in Hunan, sent five younger brothers to want to learn technology, in order to hide their eyes, but also opened a tea factory in Hunan, but Liu Zhaohua's technology was lost long ago, his family did not know, Mexicans ran in vain.
As Galado unified the Mexican drug scene, drug dealers shouted "Godfather" when they saw him, and Galado began to make rules that affected him today, and he divided a fief among the executives under the cartel of the drug cartel: Galado's relatives, the Arellano family, were assigned to Tijuana (later taken away by Seta), the Leyva family controlled Arizona, the "King of the Sky" Amado controlled the drug trafficking line from Juarez to El Paso, Texas, and the dwarf Guzman and Zambarda controlled the Pacific coast. Later, we saw that the basic plate of the various drug dealer warlords was from Galado's seal.
Galado is a bit like Yuan Shikai, and the drug dealers who are fighting in the back are a bit like the Beiyang warlords.
Gallardo also formulated some iron laws of the drug trafficking community, some of which are still in use today, such as each gang law enforcement department is responsible for supervising the internal order and cannot act beyond the line; drug dealers can kill each other, but cannot openly abandon the body (this article is completely invalidated later); it is not allowed to shootout in urban centers such as the state capital and the central district; gangs can transport goods by road, but they must be nodded by the head snake and the government boss, and the toll can be paid before they can cross the line.
Years later, Galado confessed after his arrest, in fact, the rules he formulated were passed after the senior officials in the government nodded, and a large part of the profits of his drug empire went into the pockets of government officials, and he had to pay at least $250,000 a month to every central official for protection, and the KPI dividend was another.
As for which high-ranking officials, you can check the list of Mexican politicians in the 1970s and 1980s.
No matter how black Mexican drug dealers are, they can't blacken the Mexican government.
Since the Time of Galado, the area under drug cultivation in Mexico has grown rapidly (the reason is later explained), and farmers have found that the profits from poppy and marijuana are 40 times that of corn. Who can earn forty thousand a month, who still earns a thousand a month? So farmers have changed careers, Mexico's poppies are blooming more and more widely, countless poor people have joined this promising business, and young people selling drugs has become the first choice for entrepreneurship like Chinese opened Taobao shops.
At that time, Pablo of Colombia was in decline, several trade lines were destroyed by the United States, And Galado, who had learned new technologies, took over the drug markets in many countries, and even entered Colombia, at this time he had a drug base, a government support, someone, a gun, a technology, just at the peak of his life, triumphant, suddenly kicked a steel plate.
The name of this steel plate is called Qiqi.
Three kiki
Born in Mexico in 1947, Kiki later became a U.S. citizen, served in the Marine Corps for three years at the age of 25, worked as a police officer for half a year after retiring, and in 1973, the United States could not stand the growing drug problem, and established a new department to combat illegal drugs, called the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, referred to as the DEA, Kiki hated the drug network and joined the DEA in 1975.
He spent six years at dea California before being sent to Guadalajara, Mexico's second-largest city, in 1981 to find a way to get information about Mexican drug dealers.
Guadalajara's work is very strange, they can always find a small batch of drugs, but the drug traffickers do not do any resistance at all, as if they deliberately come to make a mistake, their investigation work is always very unsuccessful, Mexican bureaucrats ignore it, it is difficult to receive information to ask the police to arrest people (they have no law enforcement powers), they will also be cancelled by telephone at the last minute, trying to lure drug lords to the United States to arrest, the news is always leaked in advance.
Kiki is not fighting drug dealers, but the whole country.
In 1984, Kiki first took a plane and found a cannabis cultivation site from the sky, and then through an informant, as a cannabis picker, went deep into the tens of thousands of acres of cannabis fields in Chihuahua, where he worked for a few days and took a large number of photos.
When Kiki handed over the photos to the Mexican government, they finally could not deny it, so they sent 450 soldiers, with the help of helicopters, to burn a total of 11 square kilometers of marijuana fields.
This cannabis field generates billions of dollars a year for drug dealers, and the owner of the cannabis field is Galado.
Galado was so furious that he bribed the government officials and learned that it was Kiki who had started his marijuana field, and ordered Kiki's body to be cut to pieces.
After burning the marijuana field, DEA also felt that things were not good and prepared to arrange for Kiki to return to the United States, but it was too late, and on February 7, 1985, in broad daylight, drug dealers kidnapped Kiki on the street and took him to a small room in a building on Loped Vega Street, where he was brutally tortured and interrogated.
According to the recollections of those involved in the interrogation, the pilot who took Kiki to inspect the marijuana field from the air was also pulled in, and the 38-year-old Kiki kept saying that he did not know during the interrogation, not to reveal a word, and after being interrogated, he was tortured for an unimaginable period of 30 hours, so that when dea found Kiki's body, he found that he was skinned and cut below the knee, thighs, waist, and arms, 8 fingers were chopped off, 5 ribs were broken, the right collarbone collapsed, the jaw was broken, and the eyeballs were exploded. The skull was also drilled through by an electric drill.
In order to prevent Kiki from fainting during the execution, the drug dealers also injected him with a large amount of amphetamines to ensure that Kiki died in pain.
After torturing Kiki to death, Gallardo's men threw him into the wilderness and was not found by the DEA until 27 days later.
Looking at the tragic situation after the death of his comrades-in-arms, DEA swore revenge!
According to the post-mortem investigation, the interrogation was actually involved in the high-level of the Mexican government, and a mysterious Cuban who recorded the recording, and it was later found out that his real name was Felix. Rodriguez, who had been a CIA agent, fled to the United States after the Castro Revolution to become an agent, participated in the Gulf of Pigs, and successfully killed Che in Bolivia. Che Guevara, who has a good relationship with Bush Sr., is a legend of the CIA, and may be in charge of part of the Business of the Galado Drug Cartel and the CIA (CIA drug trafficking is real) in Mexico, but he is not saved by Kiki on the spot, and he is also calmly responsible for the recording work, because of this relationship, the relationship between the DEA and the CIA has been very bad since then.
That year, Kiki was also on Time Magazine.
In order to force the Mexican government to hand over the murderer, the U.S. government blocked the three-thousand-kilometer border line between the United States and Mexico, ordering the Mexican government to hand over the murderer, and the Mexican government was under pressure to hand over the master Neto, the cannabis mage Rafa, and several other murderers who participated in the killing of Qiqi, but did not hand over the main culprit Galado, because Galado was the Mexican government's financial weapon and black glove, and for the 1988 election, it was really unwilling.
In the 1988 general election, Mexico's ruling Revolutionary Institutional Party asked Galado to come forward and force voters to vote for the Privatmi, Galado could only obey, after the Privat Privatist Party won the general election, President Salinas asked Galado to help him assassinate two other presidential candidates, as well as all those suspected of electoral fraud, Galado did it again.
By this time, Galado had little use, and he knew too much, offending the U.S. government, and Salinas decided to betray him.
In April 1989, the United States and Mexico were about to sign the North American Trade Agreement, the United States promised Mexico that if it caught Galado, it would give Mexico some debt relief, President Salinas went to find The Sheriff Calderón, who was familiar with Galado, and asked him to arrest Galado, Calderon knew Galado in 1971, the two had a good friendship, he had received a bribe of $5 million from Galado, and a macaw that was about to become extinct. Several of Galado's former important subordinates were also killed by Calderón, but Galado knew that he was only carrying out the task according to the requirements of the superior, and did not hate him.
Calderón, who received the order, tapped through the phone, tried to find Galado, asked him to go to a restaurant to meet, Galado did not have doubts, went to the appointment alone, arrived at the scene by calderon's two subordinates, Galado shouted: "What happened?" Calderon. ”
Calderón stood high in the restaurant and said coldly, "I don't know you." ”
There were no other conflicts in the process of capturing Galado, and the king of the earliest drug lords in Mexico was imprisoned, and the Mexican government still did not hand him over to the United States government, he still serves his sentence in Mexico, and while serving his sentence in Altiplano prison, Galado wrote a 36-page memoir, most of which comes from his memoirs.
Calderón did not fare well either, and after fleeing to the United States, he was shot and killed by a mysterious killer on the street in McAllen, Texas, on February 5, 2003.
As if losing Yuan Shikai's prestige, the warlords of beiyang immediately fell into a scuffle, and without the Mexican drug kingdom of Galado, in order to compete for the position of the boss of the Mexican drug industry, they reunified the rivers and lakes and began an extremely fierce melee, and later the Gulf Group, as well as the most brutal Seta Group that split off from the Gulf, joined the chaotic war.
Coupled with the fact that Because Gallardo was betrayed by the president, the drug cartel and the government lost their trust base, and both black and white killed red eyes, and Mexico has been in chaos ever since.
For a moment, the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark.
The importance of Gallado in Mexican history was overshadowed because the light of Pablo Colombia in the same period was too dazzling, and Garado was imprisoned in 1989, and Pablo was not killed until 1993, just like Malone was strong, but there was always a Jordan in front of him, so many people ignored The historical status of Galado, and his arrest was the beginning of a greater chaos in the Mexican drug trafficking circle, and the Mexican drug world, from dominating the world, stepped into the crowd.
Of course, again, No matter how black Mexican drug dealers are, they can't be black enough for the Mexican government.
All the bloody and cruel gangster vendettas I mentioned in "Mexico 1", as well as the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians, the source of evil, all come from here.
Brazen dwarf
After Galado was imprisoned, the only person in the drug dealer circle who could hold the field was the short Man Guzman.
Guzman was born in 1957 in a village called La Thurna in the Sierra Mountains, only read until the third grade of primary school, is semi-illiterate, reading and writing are very difficult, to write letters to his mistress have to be ghostwritten, Guzman's face looks like a boy who is easy to be shy, but he does not change his face when he kills people, in the 1980s he joined the camp of Galado, honestly worked for Galado, slowly gained the trust of the board of directors, climbed to the top of the group, as mentioned earlier, Galado divided his territory among the various forces, and Guzman, as Galado's beloved disciple, was assigned to Sinaloa, and even Galado's niece, the Queen of the Pacific, worked for Guzman in this group. (Talk about her later)
In the 25 years since Galado's departure, Guzman has crusaded against the internal forces of Sonora, Tijuana, and Juárez, quelled a rebellion in Juárez, forcing the Gulf Group to seek peace--- this group has always existed alone, Galado did not surrender them, and united some government forces, killed the Knights Templar, captured the most violent seta group leaders and led to their disintegration ("Mexico 1" has a detailed story of the Seta group), at the peak of history, Guzman's Sinaloa group controlled 60 percent of Mexico's territory, other submissive gangs made up 15 percent of Mexico's territory, controlled 80 percent of the country's drug trade, and briefly became the other all-Mexican speaker after Galado.
The only reason for using the word short is because Guzman did not last long at his peak, and now that everyone is in prison in the United States, they will not think of it for the rest of their lives.
In addition to producing some of its own drugs, sinaloa Group also has a large part from other countries in South America, mexico's most important role in the global drug chain is a distributor, but also a mountain king--- anyway, Lao Tzu is close to the United States, your goods want to pass from me, you have to pay a toll.
I can only check the data of 2014, at that time, 90% of cocaine, heroin are produced in Colombia, Bolivia, Peru three countries, like cocaine in the place of origin in Peru, as long as 2,000 US dollars a kilogram, to Mexico, rose to 10,000 US dollars a kilogram, and then by Mexican drug dealers to the United States, the wholesale price reached 30,000 US dollars a kilogram, retail sales in grams, almost became 100,000 US dollars a kilogram, people in various industrial chains are making money for American addicts, Mexican drug cartels earn about 5%-8% of the country's GDP every year, solving a large number of employment problems and becoming an important pillar of Mexico's economy.
To this point, except for socialist China, it is estimated that no government is willing to uproot the industrial chain.
After these drug dealers make money, they will give welfare to civilians, build bridges and pave roads, build schools, and ensure medical care for civilians, and during the 2020 epidemic, the two giants of Sinaloa and CJNG will also rush to give civilians food and masks.
However, here we must remind everyone that the essence of drug dealers is still drug trafficking, where drugs pass, will definitely bring a lot of vendetta, theft, prostitution, robbery, so that the whole society chickens and dogs jump, many people see drug dealers do something good on the grateful, this is a very peculiar psychological reaction, drug dealers manage the bottom of the people, essentially to better sell drugs, not really for the public interest, just like a scumbag occasionally send a bag to girls, does not mean that he wants to be responsible for girls for life, but just hope to fish girls, If you can take advantage of one more day, you can take advantage of one more day. The only one who can really be responsible to the people to the end is the legitimate government, but the Mexican government is more scumbag than the scumbag, and everyone has to choose to trust the gang, anyway, with anyone, it is better to choose one who can give the bag immediately.
The dwarf was also very kind to the people around him, at least when he was fleeing for his life.
According to DEA agent Jill. Gil Gonzalez revealed that Guzman has a Ranger Zorro-esque reputation in Mexico, where there are even dozens of ballads praising drug dealers that portray him as a hero of the people.
In order to wash the money earned from drug trafficking, he bought hundreds of legitimate enterprises, including restaurants, football stadiums, ostrich farms, large supermarkets, hospitals, etc., and then gave favors to the people through these facilities, such as some people who were sick and wanted to go to the hospital, Guzman immediately transferred a small helicopter to send the people over, ordinary people who have seen this scene, this kind of thing as long as a hype, blind people are naturally grateful.
Juan, the former governor of Sinaloa, once estimated that 62 percent of the state's economy was linked to the drug trade, and that the state would be left poor to eat.
Drug dealers and people naturally mingle.
After the United States strictly demanded that the Mexican government arrest Guzman, Guzman mainly operated in the Sierra Madre western ental, he ran around a dozen ranches every day, surrounded by more than 300 armed people to protect, the locals accepted his benefits, as long as any official personnel entered the area, the people would be furious to Guzman to ventilate the news, Mexican Defense Minister Galván once told Obama's intelligence director: Everyone knows where Guzman is, But they just can't catch it.
In 2019, Luna, former Mexican Minister of Public Security, was arrested in Dallas, and in 2020, Former Mexican Defense Minister Cienfugo (who served from 2012-2018) was arrested in Los Angeles, both of whom were found by the DEA to have been taking bribes from Guzman, who were arrested on vacation to the United States.
It can be seen that the Mexican government and drug dealers have always worn the same pants, and do not have any expectations that they can eliminate the phenomenon of drug dealers.
The words that Garvan said to Obama's intelligence director were used to fool the Americans.
As long as there is no interest, Guzman usually does not cause trouble, he often carries a bunch of people around, likes to go to various restaurants to find good food, sometimes he will suddenly appear in a restaurant in Sinaloa with a group of people, his men will hold a gun and politely ask the restaurant owner to hand over the mobile phone, and when Guzman finishes eating, he will stand up and say thank you, disturb, and then ask his subordinates to return the mobile phone to everyone, and pay the restaurant owner before leaving.
If there is a stake, the viciousness of the drug dealers will be immediately revealed, the police in Mexico have low salaries (most of their monthly salaries are 3500 yuan as mentioned in the previous article), poor equipment, and no great ideal pursuit, drug dealers can buy with some money, and even they themselves will go to the street to extort ordinary people, the following video is that they stuff drugs into the bags of passers-by on the street, and are filmed by others when extorting passers-by.

There seems to be no mexican government official who can not be bribed, Sinaloa Governor Lopez. As soon as Lopez Valdez took office, he took his bodyguards with him to see Guzman, met and talked about many topics, the governor told his subordinates not to confront Guzman's forces, we are serious about suppressing his competitors, do not want this conversation to be recorded by his bodyguards, and put on the Internet to expose government corruption, Governor Valdez said that the recording was tampered with, resolutely deny.
A month later, the bodyguard was found dead on the side of a highway in Sinaloa, with his head cut off.
As mexico's number one drug lord, In addition to sending people to Hunan to find Liu Zhaohua, Guzman also had a relationship with another Chinese, and the name of this brother was Ye Zhenzhen.
Wood Leaf Truth
Born in Shanghai in 1963, Ye Zhenzhen is a solid Shanghai silver, after graduating from high school, he was not admitted to college, went to the night school of East China University of Political Science and Law, and after graduating in 1985, he ran a business in a local pharmaceutical company in Shanghai.
His past experiences were so mundane that when Chinese journalists went to the pharmaceutical company to inquire about his life trajectory, colleagues didn't remember him very much.
Before the age of 27, Ye Zhenzhen was just an ordinary social animal on the streets of Shanghai, wearing a cheap suit and carrying a bag in the doorways of various hospitals, at this time, even if he was killed, he probably could not imagine that he would become the most famous drug lord in contemporary Chinese history in the future, and merge with the life trajectory of Guzman and Galado thousands of miles away.
In 1990, a turning point in Ye Zhenzhen's life occurred, and the company decided to send him to Mexico to run a business.
Leaf truth before balding
In 1990, Garado, who had been living in a luxury prison in Mexico for just one year, began to be transferred to another prison, no longer able to use his mobile phone to control his empire, and Mexican drug dealers would begin the Warring States era.
In the rain of bullets and bullets, Ye Zhenzhen arrived in Mexico alone, opened up overseas markets, nodded his head and handed over business cards when he saw people, wrote letters to pen pals in his spare time, at that time communication was not developed, young people did not have dating software, pen pals were a popular way of making friends at that time, Ye Zhenzhen mainly wrote letters to a local Chinese girl in Mexico, writing, soaking this girl in hand, and getting married in Mexico. He believed in Catholicism, and after his marriage, Ye Zhenzhen carried a Bible with him, and many of the photos he left behind were holding scriptures, which is the reason.
Not long after going to Mexico, Ye Zhenzhen resigned, began to do the reverse in Mexico, tossed foreign trade clothing, but also sold goods confiscated by customs, but has not made a lot of money, how he hooked up with Mexican drug dealers has not been known, it should be 1990-1994 happened, Ye Zhenzhen himself did not say, but from 1995, Ye Zhenzhen in the port facilities began to import a large number of Chinese pharmaceuticals, reselled to drug dealers to make raw materials, should be from this time on, Ye Zhenzhen got the first pot of gold to cooperate with drug dealers.
In 1997, Ye Zhenzhen set up a company in Mexico called "Mexican United Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.", which was a very popular company, which was actually a leather bag company, and the registered address was like a dilapidated house in a slum.
The company, which mainly pretends to manufacture cold medicines, imports large quantities of raw materials and finished drugs containing pseudoephedrine from China and India and ships them back to Mexico to provide raw materials for drug dealers to make methamphetamine.
At that time, to make methamphetamine, there must be pseudoephedrine, drug dealers in Mexico can not get the supply, China and India did not know that this thing can make methamphetamine, so the supervision is not strict, Liu Zhaohua invented the method is that no ephedrine can also make methamphetamine, so Mexican drug dealers are eager to red eyes.
Ye Zhenzhen himself did not make poison, only provided raw materials, he understood that he was a foreigner, if he made poison to rob other people's business, it was estimated that he would be "making soup people" to slag. By the way, the "soup maker" López mentioned above later betrayed the Areano family and turned to Guzman, the company relied on technology to eat, the job was relatively stable, the boss was easily reluctant to lay off, so he followed Guzman for many years, and now he was arrested and extradited to the United States, I guess Ye Zhenzhen may have seen Lopez.
For the Mexican gangsters and the government's means, The Shanghainese Ye Zhenzhen is still a bit forced in his heart.
Since 1995, Ye Zhenzhen has manufactured billions of dollars worth of methamphetamine raw materials in North America, from 2005 to 2006 alone, he imported more than 96 tons of raw materials from China, and made them all pseudoephedrine, the largest batch of goods up to 19 tons of ephedrine, goods from Shanghai to Hong Kong, and then through the United States Long Beach, and finally arrived at the port of Cardenas, Mexico, when declaring customs, he said that these chemicals were used to make cold medicines, but these raw materials did not have a finished shipment record.
I have the impression that for a few years, buying cold medicine in China is to use an ID card, which should be the cold medicine in China was swept by Ye Zhenzhen, which aroused our vigilance.
Ye Zhenzhen at that time the cost of importing ephedrine was 290 US dollars per kilogram, according to the level of mexican drug production, if he made the raw materials into 90% purity methamphetamine, he could earn 14 million US dollars a day, of course, it is actually impossible to be this number, the upstream and downstream are just right.
Drug dealers make money, the next step is of course money laundering, so Ye Zhenzhen often runs to Las Vegas to gamble money, starting with a bet of $150,000 each time, from 1997 to 2006, Ye Zhenzhen lost a total of $126 million at Sands Group.
But knowledgeable people know that losing money in a casino is one of the best ways to launder money, and in order to track down the money, the IRS also invited sand group people to come over for tea several times and return $47 million.
Because of Ye Zhenzhen's joining, Mexico formed three of the world's most important drug chains to the United States.
One is South America, Peru, Bolivia, these countries, the main cocaine production, through Mexico into the United States; one is the Golden Triangle, the main production of heroin, also through Mexico into the United States; the third is the ye truth line, to China and India to find ephedrine, Mexico and then make methamphetamine, by the way, plant some cannabis, flow into the United States together.
People all over the world have worked hard to supply cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana, and the United States to ensure that the American people can smoke well and smoke well.
It's not easy for everyone.
In 2002, Ye Zhenzhen became a Mexican citizen, the Mexican president personally authorized him, he also invested in the local media, elected an honorary senator, said that government officials did not know that he was selling drugs, and I did not believe in killing him.
In 2006, a sudden rift broke out between Ye and the Mexican government (the specific reason is unknown, it should be a dispute of interest), which arrested his wife, male relatives, and Chinese factories, and searched his home, finding $200 million in cash.
$200 million in cash, equivalent to 50 percent of the drug money collected across Mexico that year.
Ye Zhen fled to the United States, in exchange interests with the U.S. government, provided information to the U.S. police on many drug dealers, and the United States subsequently arrested more than 300 members of mexican drug cartels in 38 cities across the United States, causing a heavy blow to the "Familia" group in the United States.
Two police officers investigating Ye's case in Mexico also died suddenly and mysteriously.
But instead of protecting Ye as promised, the U.S. side left him in the United States and let him spit out the inside story about Mexican drug cartels little by little, until 2016, when the Obama administration transferred him to Mexico when he really couldn't get anything of value.
On October 18, 2016, Ye Zhenzhen, a semi-bald Shanghai man, was escorted to Mexico by the U.S. marshals, and until the time of this article, Ye Zhenzhen's trial had not been conducted.
After Ye Zhenzhen balded, men really can't go bald
The Mexican procuratorate has filed 12 charges against Ye Zhenzhen, but the most important of them may not be established.
Yes, you read that right, it may not hold.
Because the case dragged on for too long, the evidence for prosecuting Ye Zhenzhen could not be found, the $207 million collected was also spent, and it was taken by the Mexican government to build office buildings and buy police equipment, and his factory building became a police command center.
After more than a decade of busy work, the Mexican government could only indict him on commercial charges, and the two crimes of drug trafficking and drug production could not be established.
It's a magical world.
When Ye Zhenzhen was in Mexico, he mainly sold raw materials to the dwarf and the Seta group, and the dwarf side docked with him in business and often came and went, and It was Garado's niece "Queen of the Pacific" Avila, and the year Ye Zhenzhen was handed over to Mexico, Avila was imprisoned.
Born in the 1970s and raised in a family of drug lords, Avila came home from school every day to hear "How many pounds of cocaine have you recently sold?" "How many people have been killed recently?" This kind of manic dialogue, although she also learned piano and dance, but was born with a tough drug dealer gene, she witnessed the first gunfight at 13 o'clock, starting at the age of 15, the family gave her 100,000 US dollars in pocket money every month, at the age of 17, she went to college to study journalism for three years, she wanted to be a journalist, interviewed a large number of drug lords through her family connections, but the family business needed someone to inherit, after graduating from college, she obediently became a drug dealer, and it was the turn of others to interview her.
Queen of the Pacific at the age of 18
Avila loves drag racing, loves horseback riding, is a sharpshooter, and at the age of 21, she fell in love with Amado, the king of the big drug lord Sky, and when she went out to play, she would carry a suitcase with a neatly folded $100 bill.
She earned the title of "Queen of the Pacific" because she formed a fleet of ships specializing in smuggling cocaine to the United States, each ship can hold 10 tons of drugs.
Avila's good fortune disappeared from 2002, when her son was kidnapped and extorted for $5 million, after which a silly fork band on the Mexican side wanted to curry favor with Avila and made up a rap pop song to praise her, and the song inexplicably became popular, exposing Avila to the public eye, the Mexican government had to put down its face and issue a wanted warrant, Avila kept changing boyfriends while running for his life, but was arrested on September 27, 2007, and then went to prison.
The prisons on the Mexican side are extremely funny, the kind that can be bargained, Avila has three maids serving her in el rincon prison in Nayarit, providing her with food, cigarettes, and alcohol alone every day, and when she is interviewed in prison, the reporter sees her not even wearing a prison uniform, stepping on four-inch high heels, wearing jewelry, wearing custom fashion, and the prison guards are very respectful to her.
Queen of the Pacific at the age of 30
Avila was released in February 2015, at least on the surface, she is no longer in the drug business, she lost two husbands, countless little boyfriends in the chaotic gang fight in Mexico, her brother was tortured to death, her son was kidnapped, and now she only wants to fight with her lawyer to get back 15 houses and 30 sports cars before going to prison, and become a quiet retired drug dealer.
Mexican reporters said that when she saw Ye Zhenzhen being escorted back to Mexico on television, she was eating, saw an old acquaintance, and her whole body trembled slightly, but she quickly returned to calm.
As if nothing had happened, bow your head and continue eating.
Land may
Guzman ended up in the hands of the BlackBerry.
As we mentioned in the Biography of ISIS, Ben. Bin Laden and the ISIS administration only believe in self-built courier systems, because once they use the telephone, they are dead, but Mexican gangsters cannot do so, and the management of the drug dealer system must be efficient and direct, flat, and direct to the grassroots, otherwise the drug dealer network will directly collapse, and Guzman will have to use modern communication equipment.
Guzman is very careful when using a BlackBerry, if someone wants to contact Guzman, You have to send the information to Guzman's deputy through the b.b.m first, and his deputy, in order to prevent detection, will not use private wifi and 4G networks, will soak in Starbucks or other places with public wifi all day long (those who stay in Starbucks for a day should be careful), the deputy receives the information, and then transcribes the information to the iPad, sends it to the next middleman with the iPad, who also only uses public wifi, transcribes it to his BlackBerry mobile phone again, and finally forwards it to Guzman.
This kind of information transmission from one public wifi to another public wifi, with two hardware changes in the middle, is difficult to track.
If Guzman wants to reply to the message, he will do this twice, and he will be extremely careful.
Guzman only believed in BlackBerry and hated satellite phones, and he felt that satellite phones were made by American companies and were easy to crack by law enforcement officials, but BlackBerry phones were made in Canada and were not so easy to crack.
This concern is not unreasonable, we have written that many ISIS bigwigs and Chechen bigwigs were found after using satellite phones, and a missile was blown into slag.
But BlackBerry security is also an illusion.
By studying their subordinates' ways of communicating with Guzman, the analysts in dea's special operations unit finally figured out the laws of their communication, and finally focused on finding the logistics support personnel around Guzman, locking in the communication target through a series of complex technologies.
In 2012, the DEA locked on Guzman's BlackBerry phone, which can not only monitor his communications, but also use geolocation technology to triangulate his signals.
By monitoring Guzman's mobile phone, DEA knows that Guzman is afraid of being poisoned, carrying with him a young private beauty chef, who is said to be extremely skilled in cooking, DEA agents all want to taste the dishes she makes, this private chef has to cook for him anytime and anywhere, Guzman must also let his subordinates taste it before eating, and the subordinates do not spit white foam before they dare to eat.
Guzman also rarely stayed in one place for more than two nights, and even his personal bodyguard and personal assistant Naritz did not know where he would suddenly go, but he had to ask beautiful women to accompany him every night, and he also took Viagra in large quantities and ate Viagra as sugar.
Interestingly, according to DEA statistics, most of Guzman's communications are not managing the drug empire, but spend a lot of energy every day to appease several ex-wives and a dozen girlfriends.
Sure enough, falling in love is harder than selling drugs.
In 2014, based on the DEA's location of his BlackBerry, the Marines raided Guzman's mansion by the sea, Guzman snatched the door from the backyard, mixed into the crowd and ran away, at which point Guzman suspected that there was something wrong with the BlackBerry, handed the phone to a subordinate, and fled by private jet to the Sierra Madre.
After guzman escaped, the Marines turned around to find his cronies, Vulture, to find clues from here, and on February 20, Vulture sent a text message on a BlackBerry cell phone, which was quickly located at the Miramar Hotel in the port city of Mazatlán, and the Marines rushed to the hotel and captured Guzman in room 401 wearing only underwear.
After Guzman was imprisoned, he completed his second escape by digging tunnels in July 2015, and took the time to accept Hollywood movie star Sean. Pan's interview was once very arrogant.
With the magic weapon of mobile phone positioning, the Mexican government only half a year later, through the old method, first located his cronies, in January 2016, followed the vine to touch the melon, arrested Guzman again, and extradited him to the United States in 2017, on July 17, 2019, Guzman was sentenced to life imprisonment in the United States, fined $12.6 billion.
Guzman's life came to an end.
However, the Sinaloa group was not destroyed with Guzman's imprisonment.
In telling the story of Galado, we have said that he divided the Pacific coast between Guzman and Zambada, nicknamed "May", who is not as famous as Guzman, but is also another important speaker in Sinaloa, and now the Sinaloa Group is mainly managed by Guzman's sons and May.
But in reality, the real controller of Sinaloa for decades may be May, now 72, not Guzman.
May is the most low-key, calm generation of drug lords in the history of Mexican drug trafficking, almost invisible to see him in the movie when there is a major event, but he is the only surviving drug lord in Mexico for nearly fifty years, the famous Mexican journalist Hernandez believes that May is the real king of drug lords, the king of the sky Amado obeys him, and other drug lords never dare to provoke May.
Amado later died of fat after liposuction, Vicente, who succeeded him, directly called him the godfather, and it is rumored that the short son Guzman is just a front-of-the-stage figure, May has the right to give orders to Guzman, Guzman must also nod his head when he wants to make a major decision, and which gangster to fight with or negotiate peace with is secretly manipulated by May.
Born in May 1948 in Culiacán, Sinaloa, 1.8 meters tall, very poor when he was young, he had to rely on washing truck tires in a sugar factory near Culiacán to support his family, his sister was married to a Cuban named Antonio, this Cuban came from a very fierce way, originally a Cuban policeman, later immigrated to Miami, the United States, by selling heroin, with great ambitions to become a generation of Drug Lords in Miami, after being hammered by the United States police, immigrated to Mexico, met May's sister, and became May's brother-in-law.
In the 1970s, Antonio made his own turf in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, and in May went to help his brother-in-law in los Angeles, where he was mainly responsible for opening up the drug logistics line from Los Angeles to Tijuana and providing safe drug trafficking routes for his brother-in-law.
May of my youth
In 1977, may's brother-in-law was imprisoned, and his forces were all assigned to May's name, and the Police in the United States first noticed this person.
May later moved to Tijuana, where he partnered with the Arellano brothers to sell drugs, but the loot was unevenly divided, and the Arellano brothers threatened to cut off his son, and May was outnumbered and returned to Culiacán in Sinaloa with his men.
In Sinaloa, May regrouped, submitted to the Godfather Galado, was given territory by Galado, and became the boss behind the Sinaloa clique.
By 1998, the low-key May forces had grown to the point of having a laugh with the president, who had signed a series of agreements with the president to save him from arrest and quietly developed a large number of legal businesses, and his son said that his father had sent him to the president's Los Pinos villa for breakfast, and no drug dealer in All of Mexico could have such a high honor.
Even CJNG's boss Cervantes respects May, in 2016 Cervantes took advantage of the short man's imprisonment and kidnapped several of his sons, May personally intervened to mediate, Cervantes did not hurt them in any way, released them, very face-saving.
The man with the gun in the middle was Cervantes, and the Mexican side could not find his most recent photograph, which was more than a decade ago
The story of Cervantes we have introduced in the past, he learned from May, the daily life is very low-key, the latest photos on the Internet are more than a decade ago, no one in the outside world knows what he looks like now, in 2020 he was mainly busy building a high-end hospital in his hermitage, and every day with his little girlfriend born in 1999 "Pink Skull", but his little girlfriend was too out of line, after shooting 13 police officers was retaliated by mexican government forces, shot in the back of the neck.
The Pink Skull was shot in the neck by government forces and died
May can't live long, he now has severe diabetes and may die at any time, according to Mike Vigil, the former director of the DEA's International Division, May is now hiding in the mountains of Sinaloa with six wives and fifteen grandchildren, although he has too much money to spend, but he will not go to the non-safe zone, everyone knows that his life is short, everyone is waiting for the old godfather to die.
The position of the godfather of Mexico's new generation of drug dealers must have been created between the dwarf's 31-year-old son, Ovidio, and CJNG's reclusive tycoon Cervantes.
A new cycle of Drug Dealers in Mexico has begun.
The tragedy of a nation
Finally, we have to talk about how Mexico, the country, has become like this?
We mentioned the external causes of Mexico's decline in "Mexico's Past 1", and in today's article, we want to talk about the internal causes of Mexico's decline.
In the past, Mexico was not like this.
Mexico was once very promising to become a rich and developed country.
Until 1972 they discovered large oil fields in Tabasco and campeche Bay, and it was estimated that there would be 200 billion barrels of oil in Campeche Bay, just in October 1973, when the fourth Middle East war broke out, OPEC issued an oil embargo, oil prices soared, and the Mexican government thought that the country could make money from now on, so it abandoned the effort to industrialization.
Since then, it has become a turning point in the Mexican economy.
Mexico was not involved in World War II, from 1940 to 1980 annual GDP development reached 6%, once claimed to have entered the middle developed countries, with oil, the national economy like a tiger, in 1981 oil alone earned 13 billion US dollars, but the Middle East resumed oil sales, oil prices plummeted, the previous government estimated too good, borrowing huge debt from the United States to develop, fiercely engaged in nuclear power plants, petrochemical plants, ports and other large infrastructure, in 1982 the foreign debt was as high as 81 billion US dollars, the Federal Reserve fell into the well at this time, raising interest rates , Mexico's annual foreign debt interest soared by $8 billion, coupled with the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, a temporary worse, the government has no money, the people have no jobs, life can not go on, just the United States side of the demand for drugs soared, Colombia's drug lords gradually declined, the three drug chains involuntarily converged to Mexico.
The Mexican government, which could not afford to pay off the foreign debt of the United States, heeded the advice of American economists and privatized all the more than 600 state-owned enterprises in its hands, and all the large state-owned enterprises such as railways, aviation, telecommunications, banks, and steel were sold at low prices and bought by capitalists in the United States and other countries.
At this time, it was the period of Galado's domination, the government and drug dealers combined, anyway, drugs were sold to the Americans, not us Mexicans suffered, it was more dependent on the drug economy.
In 1993, the North American trade agreement was signed, according to the requirements of the United States, Mexico abolished the land public ownership, farmers' land can be privately bought and sold, crop price control was abolished, agricultural subsidies were revoked, when the Chinese scholar Wen Tiejun ran to Mexico to do agricultural surveys, found that Mexican farmers could not play with American agricultural products at all, they all sold land cheaply to join the gang, and were shocked by the Mexican government's riotous operations.
Since then, China has also been wary of the "free economic system" of the West, and in order not to let the Chinese peasants fall into the same suffering, we will attach strict conditions to trade with Western countries, so that they will not easily destroy our agriculture and buy our industry at a low price.
The development of drugs in Mexico is actually the result of the concerted efforts of the government, drug lords, and the UNITED States CIA, and the big drug lords have always been good friends of the government and a strategic partner of the government to solve social employment, earn foreign exchange, and catch some oil and water by the way.
In the beginning, the government could easily control the drug lords, but after the fall of Galado, things gradually became out of control, and the drug lords grew barbarically and hated each other, until now they have developed into warlords with stronger firepower than the government army.
But the drug lords do not want to take over the government functions, if they really become the government, they are responsible to the people, then the employment, welfare, tax collection and other kinds of drug lords can not eat, so the government and drug lords in Mexico have formed a delicate balance, as long as I do not disturb my drug trafficking, I will not do things too much.
How good is it to be a quiet scumbag, and why should you be responsible for a lifetime?
Mexico would have had a normal bright path, as long as they adhered to the development line of 1940-1980 and adhered to industrialization, they could have become a rich and strong country, but they did not resist the temptation of oil, made quick money for a while, lost their minds, borrowed and developed, and after the country fell into a financial crisis, they easily listened to the set of free economy and fell into the trap of international capital, so that today's people are not happy.
On the road to the development of the country, only arduous industrialization is normal, and anyone who wants to make a fortune by selling resources will eventually be cursed by resources.
Pick up the ending
Guzman could never escape the heavily guarded prisons of the United States in his lifetime.
Galado was destined to die in a Mexican cell.
Ye Zhenzhen's case has not yet been decided.
Cervantes continued to remain anonymous, low-key, quietly waiting to ascend the throne.
Avila, queen of the Pacific, is busy fighting lawsuits every day.
May waits quietly in the mountains for death to come.
When dea agents in the United States chat, they always talk about strangeness with respect, intentionally or unintentionally.
And on the last Sunday of every month, the street women in Tijuana's red light district, there are always a few people who can't complete the KPIs, or they will be carried out by the executioners of the Seta Group and taken to the back hill to be beheaded.
Before dying, they would drag down their shoes, the tip of which pointed in the direction of their hometown, silently staring at the city of Tijuana, with no sadness or joy on their faces.
It was as if the country, having lost, had a basic perception of pain.
Most of the materials in this article come from Gallado's memoirs in prison, books by the famous Mexican journalist Hernandez, oral accounts of DEA staff, documentaries, and interviews with Chinese Mexicans in person, etc. The writing time took about 12 days, of which four days were written from eight o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the evening.
