Chapter 1,147 Border Incident

It’s not just Southern Colombia that sees the dawn of unity.

Trump's election also gave Northern Colombian President Vargas hope.

Six months ago, the former president of Colombia was assassinated. As vice president, he was appointed in critical condition and took over the military and political power of Northern Colombia with the assistance of NATO. Even though the civil war went poorly from the beginning, he always firmly believed that the failure of the war was not because NATO could not defeat the Star Ring Trade, but because the Hillary government that led the war was too weak.

"Although Star Ring Trade is slightly superior in military technology, war is never a simple competition of science and technology. In addition to technological factors, there are many factors that determine the outcome of a war, including industrial strength, economic strength, diplomatic strength, etc. , I believe I don’t need to explain any of this, you should be very clear about it.”

Vargas shouted, banging his fist on the table at the Supreme Council of Colombia's Military Council.

Although no matter which factor it is, Northern Columbia cannot compare with the Star Ring Trade, but similarly, any of the previously mentioned factors, the Star Ring Trade cannot be compared with the huge war machine of NATO.

The advantage of Star Ring Trade is that the war remains at the stage of petty fighting. If the war escalates, the new country will be dragged into the Colombian battlefield into a quagmire that can even engulf themselves. The Democratic Party, which represents the left wing, cannot make up its mind to fight the decisive battle with Starring Trade, but the same cannot be said for the Republican Party, which represents the right wing. Even among the Republicans, Trump is an ultra-conservative. no the same.

Once a full-scale war breaks out, the final outcome must be that the damn yellow-skinned monkey is sent to the gallows by American soldiers.

Just like hanging Sa.Dam!

"...The outcome of a local war cannot explain anything. As long as the battlefield expands beyond Colombia, it will not be much more difficult for NATO to kill the Star Ring trade than to kill an ant!"

Vargas' passionate voice fell, and the entire conference room fell silent.

The silence lasted for about three seconds before warm applause broke out.

The applause gradually died down.

"...The key to the question is, will the United States really escalate the war for our trade with the Star Ring?" After listening to President Vargas's speech, Admiral North Columbia said hesitantly, "If the war escalates , even if NATO wins in the end, the price paid will never be too easy."

"Until last week, I was thinking about this issue," Vargas paused for a moment, raised the corners of his mouth and continued, "but just the day before yesterday, Wall Street gave us a big gift."

There were whispers on the conference table, and the members of the Military Committee present looked at each other.

A second ago we were discussing the issues of Star Ring trade and NATO, so why did the topic suddenly turn to Wall Street.

"Just two days ago, our 'Columbia Unity Foundation' received a donation of two billion U.S. dollars, and on the list of donor signatures, the surnames Morgan, Rockefeller, Martin, Bush, etc. appeared," he said with his hands At the table, unable to conceal the excitement in his voice, Vargas glanced around at the Military Commission members present, "Comrades, think about it, what does this mean? It means that Wall Street, which represents the North American elite, has stood by us. Here, the North American military-industrial complex is already on our side!”

It was only then that the expressions on everyone's faces began to change slightly.

Military-industrial complex.

If you say that after hearing the name of Wall Street, many people still feel disapproving. But after hearing the name of the military-industrial complex, almost everyone had an expression of joy on their faces. A huge interest group composed of the military, military industrial enterprises and some members of Congress, one of the most powerful political forces in North America, has been responsible for almost 90% of the United States' foreign wars from the 1950s to the present.

After the collapse of Goldman Sachs, who doesn’t know who the North American arms giant is?

This list gave everyone present hope of regaining lost ground.

“…the opinions of Wall Street do not represent the opinions of the White House,

But this donation list can be used as a reference," the Supreme Commander of Northern Colombia said solemnly. "To be on the safe side, we can first test the reaction of Southern Columbia, Star Circle Trade and the United States through border incidents. "

"Just do as you say!" Vargas said.

…

On December 26, the spirit of Christmas has not completely faded away, and the aroma of roasted turkey and tulon candy still permeates the snowy streets of Caucasia town in the northern province of Antioquia. Evergreen trees, red ribbons and big bells, children laughed and chased around the snowman, and adults walked together in small groups, talking and laughing.

The pub on the corner is like a furnace, melting all people's enthusiasm for winter into the fragrance of ale. Although this year's Christmas will be less than in previous years due to the war, people's best wishes for tomorrow remain unchanged.

Everyone believes that tomorrow will be better, that northern and southern Colombia can eventually reach reconciliation, that the outposts and border posts outside the town will be removed, and that fellow villagers who work in Monteria will be able to go home for the holidays next Christmas...

"At this time, I should be drinking beer by the warm fireplace instead of standing guard in this wretched place." The soldier holding an AK47 rifle and wearing a thick snow suit squatted next to the fire and pulled the stick on his neck. He took off his collar and looked at the jungle not far away, "Seriously, even soldiers need a vacation."

"Let's talk about something happy. Maybe the war will be over next year?"

"Haha, that's a good joke."

There was a hint of sadness in the laughter. The captain used dead wood branches to stir the fire. The soldier who spoke earlier also remained silent.

At this moment, the sound of a car's engine was heard not far away.

"There's something moving outside."

Throwing the branches into the fire, the captain stood up from the ground with his rifle, "Carlos, go outside and take a look."

"OK."

After patting the snow on his lap, Carlos gestured to the sentry standing on the sentry tower, then walked outside the sentry with the AK in his arms, stopped in the middle of the road, and headed towards the car driving from North Columbia. The coming van raised its right hand.

The van stopped slowly, the door opened, and a man wearing a thick leather jacket and a knitted hat got out of the van.

"South Colombia is ahead, show your ID." Carlos said.

The man didn't speak, just put his hand into his arms.

However, what escaped was not a document at all, but a pistol.

Bang bang! ! !

Two gunshots without warning ignited a gun battle outside the outpost.

Shot in the chest, Carlos fell to the snow and gradually lost consciousness in his limbs.

With his last vision, he saw masked soldiers getting out of the van, military boots stepping past him one after another, and after a brief exchange of fire, they quickly rushed into the border post.

The sound of gunshots gradually faded away like spreading beans, along with his last bit of consciousness.

About ten minutes later, the residents of Caucasia Town were surprised to see smoke rising from the distance in the direction of the border post.

When the border guards stationed nearby arrived, all the people who attacked the post had left, leaving only a post burning with raging fire, walls covered with bullet marks, and a half-burned Southern Colombian flag... …

On the day the incident occurred, President Jimenez of Southern Colombia happened to be in Coro City for a state visit...
