Chapter 633: Too Far From Heaven

Go up the mountain to worship the temple, enter the temple and knock on the Buddha.

Now that I have come to Mexico, I have to have a basic understanding of its humanities and local forces.

Besides.

Living under the red flag since childhood, Chen Liang was really curious about why a country can be so chaotic.

“Qin Han, let’s go upstairs and have a look.”

Tang Xiaolong was good at observing words and colors, and led Qin Han upstairs.


Chen Liang sat on the sofa, turned on the laptop, and browsed the relevant materials organized by Tang Xiaolong.

If this war cannot be won, Mexico’s next president may be a drug lord.

On the homepage of the data, a string of eye-catching text appeared.

Pictured here is Calderón, the former president of Mexico.

This is not alarmist.

Ten years ago, in order to curb and crack down on the increasingly rampant drug trade in the country, Calderon resolutely launched the war on drugs.

This speech is the clarion call of war that the Mexican government he represents to the frenzied drug dealers.

In the next 13 years, 300,000 people were killed in this alternative war, and another 73,000 were missing. The murder rate soared by 1032%, and the number of unidentified remains reached 38,891.

This is definitely a string of appalling numbers.

And just last year, Mexico’s current president publicly announced that it would stop the war on drugs.

In fact, it is officially announcing the failure of the war on drugs.

Too far from heaven, too close to America.

Why did Mexico, a moderately developed country that used to be America’s most powerful and whose economic rise was earlier than that of the Dragon State, fall into such a field?

Chen Liang’s curiosity became heavier and heavier.



The next material is a section of “entertainment news”.

Rosales, a 17-year-old internet celebrity from Mexico, has millions of fans on YouTube, Facebook and other online platforms. The young man has a horrible face and looks like a gangster youth, but he usually relies on funny on the Internet. Make a living.

Abandoned by his parents since he was a child, he was raised by his grandmother. He left his hometown to make a living in Culiacan before he finished high school at the age of fifteen. Lulu, by chance, he posted a video of himself drinking and fainting on the oil pipe. Just like many domestic Internet celebrities, he became so inexplicably popular all night.

Netizens thought that the young man was honest and honest, funny and funny, and they all liked it. Rosales saw that he was very popular, so he often posted some videos of him being drunk and stupid, making jokes about his weight, and it was a big hit. Welcome, become an online comedian.

It is easy to swell when you are young.

This is the case for Rosales, who is rapidly becoming popular. His soaring popularity gradually makes him float up and start to become arrogant.

He was no longer reconciled to his previous sensational way of self-defeating, and decided to go for a big vote.

After getting drunk once, he actually threatened in the video: Cervantes, aren’t you very awesome? Do you want to suck my XX?

Who is Cervantes?

You know, this is an original Mexican drug lord! It used to be the second leader of the drug lord ranking! Because he was in jail in America first, he can be regarded as a man in the drug industry.

One can imagine how “heroic” this little fat man is.

Two weeks after the video was sent out, Cervantes didn’t see him come to trouble. He was not afraid of the heights when watching the crowd. Everyone praised him for his brave behavior to challenge the big drug lord, and Rosales became angry again. After a handful, the road to Internet celebrity is booming.

You can commit sins and you can’t live.

In the third week of the video’s release, Rosales and friends went to the bar for a drink, and posted their position on the social software. More than twenty minutes later, a group of unidentified people rushed into the bar with guns. The person found Rosales with photos on the Internet. The person didn’t say much, and shot directly. The little internet celebrity shot 18 shots in his body. He was beaten so that he could not be identified from his face. At the same time, a bartender was on the sidelines. Unfortunately, he was hit by a stray bullet and died.

After the small internet celebrity hung up, the police offered a reward of 5 million US dollars to arrest Cervantes. Later, the bounty rose to 10 million US dollars. The small internet celebrity used his own life to become a fire at the last moment.

Seeing the sad deeds of this little fat man, Chen Liang thought of a word.

Be high-key, low-key.

The weather is mad and rain is mad, and the people are mad, and a small internet celebrity provokes the top drug lord. Isn’t this the light in the toilet?

Cervantes’ introduction follows.

Before becoming a big drug lord, this notorious demon wanted to be a good man.

That’s right.

Good people.

Cervantes was born in Mexico’s desolate and barren Michoacán. He was born with a bitter background. He grew up by gnawing corn. When he grew up, he relied on growing fruits to help his family sustain the expenses. However, corn fruits are cheap low-level agricultural resources. You can’t make much money. The children of the poor are in their homes early. At the age of fifteen, Cervantes entered the society to start a business. Coincidentally, the small internet celebrities started to mix with society at the same age.

However, compared to the small net celebrities selling ugly and funny, Cervantes’s “entrepreneurial” project is more fierce, it is marijuana and cocaine smuggling.

If you change to Dragon Country, if you run into this business as a teenager, your parents will definitely break his legs, but Mexico is different. This is a normal project for ordinary people to get rich. Every household does it, just like before. It’s the same as opening online stores in China in the past few years.

Cervantes’s drug trafficking is getting more and more exciting. Mexico’s drug consumption market is mainly for the US imperialism. He often ran north. In the 1980s, he was finally caught by the US imperial police accidentally during smuggling and he was detained for three years.

While in prison, Cervantes wanted to change his mind, so he was released early due to his good performance. After being released from prison, he returned to Mexico and did a police check.

That’s right.

Police check.

If you are in China, once you have a criminal record, even if you are a petty theft, you will never want to do public office for the rest of your life, let alone such a serious crime.

But Mexico is such a magical country.

But after only a few months of police investigations, Cervantes couldn’t hold on. 40% of Mexico’s police officers had a monthly income of less than 10,000 pesos, converted to RMB, which means less than 3,500 yuan. The money is too slow. It was difficult to support his family, so Cervantes remembered the glorious years of drug trafficking, so he quit his job and went home, re-started his old business, and went to the drug cartel to check in and work as a horse boy.

After reading this piece of information, Chen Liang couldn’t help feeling ridiculous. If it weren’t for the historical facts studied by Tang Xiaolong, he couldn’t help but wonder if what he saw was a fictional story.

From drug dealers to police investigations, the two identities Cervantes switched back and forth at will. This shows how chaotic Mexico’s political system is.
