The fierce fighting at La Modero prison quickly became the focus of the news, with Yuri and Ivankov watching the latest reports of the operation on their televisions.
As one of the people in the knowledge of the whole incident, Yuri felt a little worried at the moment.
In the past few years, Yuri has stripped himself of some of his impulsive personality in the past, and he has begun to get used to the life of making a fortune in a muffled voice.
Recently, however, the conflict between Escobar and the Colombian government has begun to escalate.
Even the Gorky Brotherhood was implicated, which frightened and uneasy Yuri.
Yuri quickly contacted Seryosha to report what had happened today in La Modero prison, and Seryosha spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he didn't think that Escobar's arrogance would bring disaster to the entire organization.
"Don't worry, Yuri knew that he and the Colombian government were at a point of non-stop fighting when you told me that Escobar wanted to buy arms, but what does it matter, through the arms trade, we can get more money from the Medellín group, and our cooperation is only known to a few people within the Medellín group, and even if Escobar fails by then, we can make him never open his mouth."
Seryosha replied in a relaxed tone.
But Yuri was taken aback, he had never thought of attacking his clients, which was not in line with Yuri's principles of doing things, and the Gorky Brotherhood had never had a precedent for attacking clients.
"Seryosha, do you really think so, I don't think it's a bit unkind to do this, after all, our reputation has always been good," Yuri questioned Seryosha's point of view on the phone.
"Yuri, I know this upsets you, but I think it's going to happen sooner or later, Escobar doomed him from the moment he attacked the Justice Department to end a world-famous drug lord, which meant that the whole world wanted him.
If you look at Escobar's old rivals, the Cali Group, they are much more low-key," Seryosha replied again.
"Seryosha, I have a pretty good relationship with Escobar, and we've been working together very happily over the years," Yuri said on the phone, still struggling.
"Yuri, I understand what you mean, so I won't take any initiative against Escobar, I will try my best to meet all his needs, everything is business, but from now on, except for business matters, I think you and Ivankov had better distance themselves from him.
And once the matter falls to the point of no return, I will definitely do it, because I have no choice" Seryosha does not plan to continue to discuss, this matter is a matter of life and death, Yuri can be righteous, but Seryosha can't, because he is responsible for the safety of the entire Gorky Brotherhood and the rest of the customers, and this matter does not allow for emotion And at this very moment, through the photographs of the battle of La Modero prison.
The Langley-based CIA has finally determined that the source of the arms behind the Medellín group is Soviet equipment from the battlefields of Afghanistan.
Because the tanks involved in this prison robbery operation are obviously the standard equipment of the Soviet army 72.
"Guys, it looks like there's a great new guy on our turf who can smuggle weapons from Afghanistan to Colombia right under our noses, and that's an insult to our CIA," Chief Executive Jimmy McCann announced at a meeting on intelligence analysis of the Medellín Group, somewhat self-deprecatingly.
And his subordinates, a group of the best intelligence elites, bowed their heads in shame.
"I think there may be a Soviet government behind this, and whether they are secretly supporting the Medellín group," someone simply speculated.
"Evidence, what I need is evidence, if your claims hold up, we can disgrace the Soviets, but, you, we're all three-year-olds, any of us can only take the possibility you say as a joke," McCann said unceremoniously sarcastically.
"Boss, I think we should check the Colombian customs, I think it is impossible to find a small beach for such heavy equipment to be unloaded on the shore, it must be transported to the shore at a professional dock, by heavy lifting equipment, of course, I don't rule out the possibility of air transportation, but the cost is too high, I don't think anyone will do this," said another intelligence officer after careful consideration.
"Yes, I finally heard something reliable," McCann said softly, pointing at his colleague who had just spoken.
"There is also the wreckage of the Stinger missiles we found last time, we have analyzed this batch of missiles, which are sent to the Pakistani government through secret channels, but there can be no 72 tanks in Pakistan, so I boldly speculate that this batch of missiles finally arrived in Afghanistan, combined with the Soviets' "hand drill", I think these missiles must be in the area where Soviet or Pakistani planes will take off and land frequently, I think it should be an area close to the border," another young man who wanted to show it said, McCann just nodded in agreement, hoping to hear more explanations.
At that moment, there was a knock in the conference room, and someone outside the door motioned for McCann to come out.
McCann hurriedly got up and walked outside, closing the door casually.
"McCann, we found traces of those two tanks on the road where the prisoners retreated, but they had been destroyed by the bomb and did not leave any particularly useful information, however, McCann is a technical job to operate the tank, as can be seen from the battle in the entire La Modero prison, the people sitting in it are not novices, they are very experienced and very skillful, and when the plane of the Colombian government army arrived, they didn't care, but as soon as our plane arrived, They immediately rushed into the prison, and I think it was a deliberate attempt to mingle with the prisoners and guards and avoid our air strikes."
"What do you think is the background of these people," McCann asked rhetorically.
"Experienced armored troops, with a wealth of 72 driving experience, it is not difficult to find Cubans now, some immigrants from Eastern Europe, or Soviets, but I prefer to be Soviets, because those two tanks are not simple versions exported to friendly countries of the Soviet Union, but the genuine equipment of the Soviet Red Army, and there are some subtleties that will not be clear to the crew if they have not actually operated them." t1706231537:
