Chapter 680: The Curtain Rises



While the Porto Alegre police were enforcing the law in a different place and cracking down on the Green Gang drug trafficking group in the city of Casuarina do Sul, other local police stations throughout Brazil also took action and carried out severe crackdowns on all drug-related organizations in Brazil.

Among them, the largest-scale operation broke out on the drug transportation line in the Amazon jungle. Because of Fang Lang's early arrangements, Hong Yitang had been using these routes to smuggle gems, so he was very familiar with the situation on this route. At the same time, he also kept detailed archives of all drug traffickers involved in the trafficking.

Because the number of drug traffickers on this route is huge and their force is too high, at the beginning of the operation, the Brazilian Police Headquarters coordinated an army unit to help the police launch a brutal crackdown on these drug traffickers.

The army had suffered losses in jungle warfare during the operation by the Eddie brothers, and had been studying jungle tactics over the years, but had no stage to put them into practice. This operation was a good training opportunity, so the enthusiasm of the Army Department was very high.

Under such circumstances, drug dealers in the Amazon jungle suffered a catastrophe. For a time, the whole of Brazil was filled with fierce gunfire, and after one night, the entire Brazilian mafia circle suffered a bloody reshuffle.

There are many politicians with unclean bottoms who still fail to recognize the situation and have recklessly jumped out to accuse the government of such brutal behavior. However, their words were quickly over-interpreted by the news media, and most of the interpretations were about why they were supporting these drug trafficking organizations.

Even the background behind them and their entanglements with drug dealers were thoroughly exposed. After the people saw these contents, they all wanted to kill them. Many influential politicians never thought that they would fall into this trivial matter.

At this time, the new president Scalia stood up without hesitation, commended the police for their actions, and encouraged them to continue their efforts to make Brazil a drug-free country. For a time, the people were very enthusiastic.

After the media publicity, a massive nationwide anti-drug campaign was triggered. Any organization or individual that had anything to do with drugs became the target of attack.

...

...

Of course, in this situation, the people under the greatest pressure are obviously the Brazilian police. In order to enhance the enthusiasm of the police in drug control, the government has not only established a special drug control reward fund, but also used half of the seized drug money as bonuses for the police officers.

Special anti-drug police were also set up. Their salaries, benefits and treatment were higher than those of ordinary police officers, which made many police officers desperately want to join this team.

Of course, this does not mean that other police officers besides narcotics police cannot participate in the fight against drug dealers. Brazilian police stipulate that if other police officers find clues about drug dealers, they must report the clues to the narcotics police as soon as possible.

At the same time, the police who discovered the drug can also apply to join the reconnaissance operation against the drug dealers they discovered, but this must be approved by senior drug enforcement police officers.

But regardless of whether the police officer who discovered the incident participated in the operation or not, after the drug dealer was arrested, he would receive a considerable bonus from the seized drug money based on his contribution.

This policy greatly increased the enthusiasm of grassroots police officers in anti-drug operations. For a time, Brazilian police looked at drug dealers as if they were seeing golden gold.

In the past, drug dealers bribed the police to get through the door. Now, if the police suspect you of drug trafficking, they will not only take your bribe, but also eat up your entire fortune.

For a time, drug dealers in Brazil were in a desperate situation. Many policemen who had cooperated with them before regarded them as fat sheep. After all, the police classified those policemen who voluntarily admitted to accepting bribes from drug dealers and reported it as undercover agents.

As if after being cheated, the drug dealers in Brazil no longer have any desire to bribe the police, and everyone avoids them like the plague.

Of course, these are all later stories. The current situation is that after President Scalia made his statement, in order to further demonstrate the Brazilian government's determination to fight drugs, the Brazilian court held a public trial for all drug dealers captured in the first anti-drug campaign after the anti-drug bill came into effect.

A total of 190 drug trafficking organizations were tried and more than 700 drug traffickers were sentenced to hanging. Such a large-scale death sentence caused an uproar in Brazil, a country without the death penalty, but no one dared to stand up and plead for these people.

There is no so-called human rights organization coming out to cause trouble.

Among these drug trafficking organizations that were tried, the only Chinese organization was the Youth Gang in South Casuarina. After repeated publicity by the Chinese media, everyone hated this Chinese cancer and felt that they had brought shame to the Chinese community.

As for why Fang Lang organized this public trial and brought all the drug dealers together for trial, in addition to further expanding the impact of this incident, he also had another selfish motive.

That is, although he hates these Chinese drug dealers, he does not want the local Brazilians to become hostile to the Chinese because of this small group of people, and think that all Chinese are like this.

Therefore, he not only wanted to make all Chinese realize the evil of drug dealers, but also to avoid causing ethnic conflicts between Chinese and Brazilian locals. It can be said that he had good intentions.

After this incident, the news media controlled by Fangyuan Group, through various channels, struck while the iron was hot and launched a nationwide anti-drug campaign. As a person from the future, he was very familiar with how to keep something hot and guide the whole nation to participate.

In this way, a vigorous anti-drug campaign began throughout Brazil, from cities to rural areas. Even the indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest knew the harm of drugs and the country's attitude and punishment towards those engaged in drug trafficking.

At the same time, they also learned about the reward policy for reporting drug trafficking operations, which discouraged drug traffickers who originally wanted to continue trafficking drugs through the Amazon jungle.

Time passed quietly and unnoticed in the vigorous anti-drug campaign.

John Clark, who was far away in Japan, took out almost all of his assets and borrowed a lot of money from his family under the guidance of Fang Lang, and opened an agricultural product processing company in Japan.

In the first half of 1950, he signed vegetable purchasing agreements with many Japanese farmers and asked them to grow vegetables for him. Because the price he offered was higher than the price farmers paid for growing grain, many Japanese farmers gave up growing grain.

Instead, we planted various vegetables according to the agreement with their company.

This resulted in a serious impact on Japan's domestic food production, and the head of the Japanese government's agricultural department had to meet with John Clark in person to ask him the purpose of his actions.

But John Clark has only one attitude towards the Japanese, that is, all this is normal business behavior, and the Japanese government has no right to interfere. If you ask again, you can get out of here as far as you can.

Such a large-scale purchase of vegetables also requires a lot of money, plus the need to maintain the operation of the agricultural product processing company, John Clark's funds quickly ran out. Fortunately, Fang Lang's Global Morgan Bank was there to cover him, so he had enough funds to continue to complete the agreement with the Japanese farmers.

But even so, John Clark still had deep worries in his heart. After all, this concerned their family's entire fortune.

Therefore, he has always been very concerned about the situation on the peninsula. Fortunately, compared with ordinary people, it is much easier for him to understand the situation on the peninsula.

Many of his colleagues work as military advisers in the South Peninsula, so they can easily find out about the situation in the South Peninsula. However, although there have been constant conflicts on the peninsula, the two sides have not really fought each other and have maintained sufficient restraint.

Even the news that the Southern Peninsula was about to take action against the Northern Peninsula had not yet been heard, which made him very uneasy.

The situation in the northern peninsula was relatively closed, and outsiders could not get a glimpse of it. Therefore, as time passed, he could not help but feel anxious.

Just when he thought he would have to continue suffering for a long time, on June 25, 1950, an unprecedented border conflict rapidly intensified, and the troops on the northern peninsula suddenly began to cross the border on a large scale and began to advance towards the southern peninsula.

But as soon as the conflict escalated, John Clark received a telegram from his colleagues in the South Peninsula, which made him jump up from his desk instantly. He understood that this time he had made the right bet by following Fang Lang.

After punching the air hard, he immediately went to the telegraph office and sent a telegram to Fang Lang in Brazil, wanting to share the latest information with Fang Lang.

What he didn't know was that long before he sent the telegram, the people Fang Lang arranged in the South Peninsula had already informed Fang Lang of the intelligence here at the first opportunity.

At this moment, Fang Lang's eyes were quietly looking towards the northwest. He was certainly not looking at the peninsula, but at his hometown. He wondered if his hometown was well prepared this time.

With their own advance warning, the intelligence personnel in their hometown had already verified the agreement between the Soviet Union and the Northern Peninsula. At the same time, when the Northern Peninsula officially started unified operations, Captain Jin also informed his hometown of the news that they were about to launch a unified operation.

This time, my hometown should not respond as hastily as it did in history!

In addition, throughout the first half of the year, Fang Lang's covert companies overseas have been continuously transporting various war supplies to his hometown, including cotton, grain, canned beef, medicinal materials, rubber, and oil. Many of them are even retired communication equipment and various military supplies from the Americans during World War II.

According to the original statement, these materials can only be used to deal with changes on the peninsula. Although Fang Lang cannot send people to supervise the use of these materials, he believes that even if only half of these materials are used on the peninsula battlefield, the first batch of troops entering the peninsula will definitely be much better than the situation in history.

Although it is still too early for his hometown to intervene in the war on the peninsula, Fang Lang's whole heart has been drawn to it.

What he didn't know was that, because of his warning, his family conducted a detailed investigation of the information he provided and soon discovered the clues. This made his family members in his hometown prepared for this.

When Captain Jin of the Northern Peninsula informed Laojia of his actions, Laojia did not show any surprise. However, everyone who knew this information looked at the Northern Peninsula and the Soviet Union with more profound eyes.

Since this intelligence was confirmed, the statement in the intelligence that the Americans would inevitably intervene in the Peninsula War immediately became a problem that the family members back home needed to face.

When everyone looked back at the mountains of war supplies in the warehouse at Tianjin Port terminal, they were all speechless.

Everyone knows that if things go as expected, the little guy's information will be confirmed bit by bit.

Sure enough, on the next day, June 26, US President Truman ordered the US Far East Air Force stationed in Japan to enter the peninsula to assist in the war in the southern peninsula.

Then on the 27th, Truman ordered the Seventh Fleet to go south to the strait to prevent possible crossing of the sea by the troops from his hometown.

When the news reached my hometown, all the family members no longer had any illusions about peace, and without any hesitation, they began preparing for war.

The cotton in the dock warehouses began to enter the cotton mills and garment factories to be made into winter clothes. At the same time, various war preparations began to be loaded onto trains and transported to the Northeast.

Elite troops scattered across the country began to gather in the Northeast. Among them, veterans who had experience fighting in the bitterly cold regions of the Northeast were also selected one by one to join the front-line troops.

Of course, all this is done in secret. After all, the situation in the northern peninsula is very good now, and the coalition forces in the southern peninsula and the United States are being defeated. If Jin can really push all the way and push the Americans into the sea, he can achieve the established fact of completing unification.

Then this matter may not develop as Fang Lang expected.

However, the family members in their hometown who were experienced in actual combat did not have such a fluke mentality at all. Because everyone knew that with the powerful fighting power of the Americans.

Even if the North completely occupied the peninsula, the Americans would be able to organize another Normandy landing. By then, the Americans could appear on any beach on the peninsula, which the peninsula could not resist at all.

Therefore, family members with a long-term vision no longer have much hope for peace.

As for allowing the United States to occupy the entire peninsula, not to mention what the Soviet Union would think, our old people would never allow it. "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed?" This is the wisdom left by our ancestors.

Of course, all this is absolutely good news for John Clark, especially when the US representative issued a motion at the UN General Assembly on the 27th, proposing to organize UN forces to intervene in the peninsula issue.

All of John Clark's expectations came true, and soon he began to mobilize his and his father's connections to start public relations with the US military.

Because of his contract with Japanese farmers, he controlled almost the largest stock of fresh vegetables in Japan. Therefore, even if he did not launch public relations activities with the US military, the US military's logistics department would take the initiative to seek cooperation with him.

You have to know that America's young soldiers are heavily dependent on war logistics, and their logistics system also clearly stipulates how much vegetables each American soldier must consume every day.

Therefore, John Clark had no worries about selling the vegetables he had.

But what he wanted to promote was obviously not fresh vegetables, but dried vegetables produced by his factory. Military procurement personnel naturally attached great importance to such things with obvious strategic value.

Although this product is not needed now, it will be of great significance for them to complete the task of ensuring vegetables on the front line in winter.

Therefore, the two sides quickly hit it off, and the Clark family's agricultural product production company directly won the vegetable supply contract for the entire coalition.

This allowed the Clark family to instantly recover their initial investment and make a fortune. Don't think that vegetables are worthless and you can't make much money.

No one would think that the price of vegetables John sold to the coalition forces was just a few percent higher than the purchase price!

To be honest, if the price is not doubled or tripled based on the cost price, it would be unfair to the wealthy US military. The price of dried vegetables is beyond everyone's imagination. It is impossible for the Clark family not to make money.
