Chapter 909
On November 1907, 11, the square was bustling with tourists from all over the world as usual, and flocks of pigeons were freely pecking at the food scattered on the ground.There is a peaceful atmosphere in the square.At this time, the Judiciary Building is holding a national high-level meeting.Suddenly, a burst of intense gunfire came from outside the door of the hall, and then a group of armed men with machine guns rushed into the hall.The hall suddenly became chaotic.The militants quickly took control of the building, and more than 6 people, including the Supreme Court, became hostages at gunpoint by the militants.This group of militants is a rebel member of the Medellin Cartel drug cartel directed by Escobar. On the early morning of March 300, 1908, Escobar and three of his bodyguards, disguised as official Colombian soldiers, slipped into the Cadan Air Force Base in Pigata, where they quickly stole an airplane.The side immediately dispatched 3 fighter jets to take off to intercept and open fire to hit the stolen plane.Escobar and others actually parachuted and escaped before the plane exploded and caught fire.Such quick action made the police also have to admire.

On the evening of August 8, the city of Bogota looked extraordinarily beautiful in the night.At 18 o'clock in the evening, more than 8 people gathered in Soacha Square in the western suburbs of Bogotá. The ruling Liberal Party presidential candidate and 1-year-old Senator Garland, accompanied by four bodyguards, drove to attend the rally. , and is preparing to deliver his first campaign speech. At 43:4, Garland walked up to the improvised podium enthusiastically and raised his hands to greet his supporters.Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and Garland staggered and fell into a pool of blood.The accompanying security personnel quickly sent Garland, who was still able to speak, to Bogota Kennedy Hospital for emergency treatment.However, Garland died from his injuries three hours later.The Colombian anti-drug star of hope and a representative of the hardline anti-drug faction failed to escape the bullets of drug traffickers in the end.According to the images recorded by the TV camera reporters who interviewed at the scene, there were at least five murderers who assassinated Garland. Some shot at the podium from the trees on both sides of the venue, and some shot from behind the podium.Two of the assassins held up huge placards in support of Garland, shaking them from time to time to block the view of Garland's bodyguards.One of the assassins was only two meters away from Garland, and he shot Garland violently from a low place, and Garland was hit by dozens of bullets.While the killers fired at Garland, other assassins mixed in with the crowd also fired into the air to disperse the crowd.Although the murderer was not caught on the spot, according to the investigation by the Colombian police, it was proved that the drug cartel and the extreme right forces in the country colluded with each other, and they jointly murdered Garland.

The brutal assassination of the presidential candidate of the ruling party by the drug cartel is a blatant declaration of war against China.This greatly angered Colombia, and also aroused the indignation of the Colombian people.People from all walks of life demanded immediate and tough measures to crack down on the arrogance of drug cartels.Colombia finally made up its mind to launch an all-out war against the powerful drug cartels.

In the middle of the night when Garland was killed, Colombian President Bill Jillo Barco Vargas urgently convened a meeting of all cabinet members to discuss the specific issues of launching a comprehensive anti-drug war in Colombia.Immediately, President Barco delivered a speech through the national radio and television system, emphasizing that the criminal activities of drug cartels are an attack on the entire country, so he and the army decided to give a firm counterattack.President Barco also announced that nationwide martial law will be implemented from late that night, all airports and ports will be closed;An anti-drug war that lasted for more than two years to encircle and annihilate members of drug cartels has since kicked off in Colombia.

The president's efforts have not been in vain. At 10 p.m. on October 17th, Miguel Massa, director of the Colombian National Security Agency, reported to the president that according to reliable information from within the drug cartel: on November 3nd, in a tropical forest more than 11 kilometers northeast of Bogotá, The three major drug lords of the Medellin Cartel drug cartel are preparing to gather in the "Golden Manor" of the top drug lord Escobar for the so-called "Supreme Meeting". This is the best time to strive to wipe out the drug lords.

After receiving this news, President Barco immediately summoned the commanders of the National Army, the police force, and the special forces to the presidential palace for a meeting.After more than two hours of careful discussion, the president finally decided that 2 strictly selected soldiers led by Vargas, commander of the special forces, would be sent to the "Golden Manor" by transport plane, where they would be directly inserted into the enemy's heart by airborne; Armed helicopters and thousands of officers and soldiers from the elite 200th Brigade ambushed in Bell O Port, cutting off the land and sea passages of the drug cartel, forming a large encirclement of the "Golden Manor" from the air to the land, and striving to capture the three major The drug lords caught them all.The president jokingly said that since they had a meeting in the "Golden Manor", we will confront each other and name this military operation Operation Gold Sweeping Drugs.

"Golden Manor" is located on a mountain cliff in the remote mountains and old forests. There is only one passage connected to a small river at the foot. The killing mechanism is hard to guard against.There are also several cleverly disguised secret passages in the manor that only a few leaders know, leading directly to the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, so that the drug traffickers can use it when they escape in an emergency.The only open space at the foot of the mountain is densely covered with barbed wire.Obstacles such as scrap iron blocks and high wooden piles should be removed to prevent army helicopters from landing here.

In the middle of the night on November 11, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and the autumn wind was accompanied by drizzle.I can't see my fingers.After receiving the order of "Operation Gold", the special forces quickly boarded an armed transport plane from the Palangelo military base and set off. Outflank the manor by land.

At 3:50 in the morning, the land troops exchanged fire with the armed guards of the drug cartel in the area near the "Golden Manor", and the fierce gun battle woke up the drug dealers.At the same time, armed transport planes and helicopters flew over the "Golden Manor", special forces descended from the sky, and armed helicopters fired angry bullets at the manor from high altitude, and Escobar injured his left arm.In panic, the drug lords ordered their entourage to resist desperately, but they quickly and briskly got into the underground passage.A few minutes later, the troops from down the mountain arrived after eliminating the armed drug traffickers on both sides of the river. They brought a large number of German military dogs and launched a large-scale search inside and outside the manor.Flares ignited again and again in the air, illuminating the entire mountain as if it were daytime; planes took 50 meters as a square, and used machine guns to carry out carpet-like strafing one by one.

At dawn, heavy rain poured down, and the search battle had to be suspended.Escobar and other drug traffickers were able to escape from the "Golden Manor". More than 100 drug traffickers were killed or injured in this siege.

Facing the frenzied siege, on May 5 of the following year, Escobar wrote to the news agency in Medellin, expressing his willingness to surrender to the police. The anti-drug operation did not require the legalization of the money he got from drug trafficking, and a mediator was sent for this.

In the early morning of June 6, the earth was still in twilight.Pastor Heri Ross, the mediator of the negotiation between the two parties, departed from Medellin by the provided helicopter and entered the location designated by Escobar.The guide waiting there boarded the plane and led the way to Escobar's hiding place after confirming that there was no one else on board the plane except the pilot and Pastor Heriros.This afternoon, after the Colombian Constitutional Amendment Committee passed the bill prohibiting the extradition of Colombians, Escobar finally made up his mind, walked out of his underground magic cave, and handed over his pistol to the police on the outskirts of Medellin.

On the night of May 1909, 5, Colombians who started listening to the news were surprised to find that President Gaviria, who was supposed to fly across the ocean to Madrid at this moment, was giving a serious broadcast speech.He announced to the whole country that Escobar, the top leader of Colombia's largest drug trafficking group, the Medellin Cartel, who had been imprisoned for one year, escaped from prison on the night of the 22st, and his whereabouts are still unknown.Colombia will continue to pursue and reiterate that criminals must be severely punished in accordance with the law.As soon as the president's words fell, Colombia discovered that although the drug king Escobar was imprisoned before the incident, he was still supernatural and continued to control criminal activities outside the prison.Since mid-March, some members of the Medellin Group have been in and out of Enchugado Prison several times with the cooperation of guards. Violent incidents have also occurred in Medellin City, with as many as 1 people kidnapped and murdered.

At 21:15 local time, the Colombian Presidential Palace issued a communiqué, announcing that the security committee had decided to move Escobar and his 400 accomplices from the prison under construction to the military barracks due to the allocation of US$14 million to strengthen the security facilities of the Sigato Prison.The decision to "transfer" was carried out that night.

This night was regarded as a thrilling night by many Colombians.Eduardo Mendoza, the Deputy Minister of Justice of Colombia and the avant-garde captain of President Gaviria, and Colonel Navas Rubio, Director of the National Prison Service, were ordered to come to Sigado Prison at 22:50 that night to inform the poison king Ace Koval and his accomplices are going to transfer them to the military camp.Escobar believes that they have violated their original promise not to change prisons. They no longer enjoy special treatment and will not receive life guarantees.

The drug king immediately ordered his accomplices to act, quickly grabbed the guns of the guards present, forced the Deputy Minister of Justice Mendoza and Colonel Rubio, the director of the National Prison Bureau, to enter Escobar's cell, and then took them hostage.
