The core members of Baldwin's underlings were the five major drug lords known as the Five Satans!
Poison King, Poison Saint, Poison God, Poison Tyrant, Poison Immortal … Anyway, they were all incredible people. Those who could be called Satans by Westerners must be notorious people.
Westerners said that Satan was a fallen archangel. Originally, it was an archangel and had a certain amount of authority. However, it was arrogant and thought that it could surpass the authority of Jehovah. It betrayed Jehovah God and became the demon Satan.
In any case, in the eyes of Westerners, Satan was the supreme demon!
These five demons in the eyes of Westerners were Baldwin's underlings. It was conceivable that Baldwin was a person who was proficient in human nature. This guy definitely knew how to play with people's hearts. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to train these demons so skillfully.
There were reasons why the city where Baldwin's crime syndicate was located became the cocaine capital.
First, the city was located in the northwest of Colombi. Air transportation was very, very convenient, especially conducive to the transportation of everything.
Second, the city was surrounded by rolling mountains, which provided excellent cover for Baldwin's underground cocaine factory. People who were not familiar with the place dared not come.
Third, the city was traditionally an industrial city, so it was easy to obtain the chemicals needed to refine cocaine. It should be noted that this was the largest coffee market and leather textile industry center in Colombi. It was a fairly modern industrial city.
The last reason was that the textile industry, which used to be the economic lifeline of the entire city, suffered a downturn, causing tens of thousands of young people to live on the streets. Many of them were recruited by Baldwin's crime syndicate at that time and became drug trafficking professionals or thugs for the big drug lords.
Baldwin's crime syndicate was initially formed more than 20 years ago. They had replaced a drug empire that had once been more glorious.
In the comprehensive drug war across America, the army, navy, and air force and the police force took joint action to suppress drugs nationwide.
In just a few months, dozens of drug processing plants were destroyed. Aircraft, ships, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were seized. Countless drugs and drug traffickers' illegal assets were confiscated. A group of important drug traffickers was arrested, and some of them were extradited to the United States for trial.
It was during the relaxation period after the crackdown that Baldwin picked up the guns that his "seniors" had thrown away.
In the beginning, Baldwin had learned from his "predecessors" and engaged in the smuggling of gems. After he had accumulated a certain amount of experience, he began to smuggle marijuana or other drugs.
After all, the United States was a huge drug market. There were many drug addicts in the United States! As a result, their demand for drugs increased greatly. This was the driving force behind Baldwin's syndicate's expansion into smuggling large quantities of drugs.
To be honest, drugs in the American Empire were a little too common. Marijuana, for instance, could be found everywhere in the United States.
Sometimes, the smell of marijuana could be smelled in the public restroom of a restaurant. Maybe the person squatting next to it was secretly enjoying it.
Even the school had been invaded by marijuana. There were quite a lot of students, both male and female, who would secretly roll some marijuana on the playground during the break.
This ratio was even higher than the number of students who secretly hid in the toilet to smoke in Hua Xia High School.
According to official statistics, 5% of the American population consumed more than 50% of the world's drugs!
Every year, more than 500,000 people died from drugs in the United States. How many people were there in the United States?
The average drug use in the United States was more than 200 times that of Hua Xia! This problem in Hua Xia was already very serious. Some KTV and such places would have drug addicts. In addition, there were more and more drug driving accidents in recent years.
Think about it, everything in the United States was more than 200 times that of Hua Xia! This was a terrifying number.
The United States could be said to be immune to all kinds of drugs. They were practically drug addicts. They were like workers who extracted snake venom all year round. The poison in their bodies was very high. Even if they were bitten by a poisonous snake, they would be fine.
The guys in the American Empire didn't seem to care if they smoked a little marijuana or something.
Baldwin valued this point. He knew that as long as he relied on the United States market, his business would always be the one that made the most money. Many people in the United States would never give up on drugs. It seemed to be a part of their lives.
Therefore, Baldwin first bought raw materials from other drug producing countries in South America, such as Bolivia or Peru, to process and sell them.
Slowly, his courage grew. He felt that the control units had relaxed. The Baldwin Group simply went into action. They started to grow coca, marijuana, opium poppy …
Slowly, all of this formed a monopoly production system of planting, processing, and selling. It also formed a self-contained drug trafficking network.
As long as he took over the United States, Baldwin would forever live in the United States.
Soon, the Baldwin Group used various methods to obtain their own territory. The central area they controlled was the Leticia region bordering Brazil.
This place was really too good. There were no signs of human habitation within a radius of a few hundred kilometers. It was a piece of land that had been completely forgotten by the world. The amount of land that could be used to grow raw materials for drugs here was already as high as hundreds of thousands of hectares!
Baldwin quickly set up over a hundred drug processing plants here. Furthermore, this number was increasing almost every week, and the number was constantly increasing!
This place became the main drug production base of Baldwin's criminal organization. He relied on his armed forces to completely protect his base.
The passages between the base and the outside world were all cut off by Baldwin's subordinates. Numerous obstacles were set up at key points and roadsides. He even set up many anti-aircraft machine guns and flip-flop cannons!
The number of mercenaries stationed here was innumerable. No one could give a specific number.
Furthermore, the area controlled by Baldwin's syndicate had four large airports. Various types of aircraft were parked at the airports. Even the syndicate's own people could only enter and leave the base by plane. The roads below were completely sealed off!
This definitely gave people the feeling of a country within a country. It was strange that the American continent was so sparsely populated that there were so many empty places.
The mercenaries that Baldwin arranged to guard the base were very advanced. The weapons and equipment of the mercenaries were far more advanced than the national army of the Colombian country. All of them were the most advanced weapons imported from the United States. The Baldwin Group controlled most of the drug production sources in the entire South American region.
At present, one-third of the cocaine and marijuana in the entire western country's drug market came from the Colombian country. Most of these were Baldwin's!
The drugs processed by the Baldwin Group were mainly sold to the United States' San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, Boston and of course, Baldwin's favorite, New York.
Most of the one million Colombians living in the United States were involved in drug smuggling. Every year, they smuggled countless drugs into the United States, worth more than a few billion USD!
In order to ensure absolute safety, Baldwin had also purchased a lot of advanced motorboats and light aircraft, all of which were used to transport drugs. They could transport drugs into the United States from the waters near Florida, making it impossible for the United States Coast Guard to guard against them.
In the United States, there was a movie called "Miami". The people in the movie used the identity of a boat racer and smuggler to infiltrate a huge drug network. In fact, the movie was based on this story.
The Baldwin Group would unscrupulously pour drugs into the cities on the south coast of the United States.
In any case, this place was very difficult to control. The United States government also had a headache. However, the coastline was so long that the country's police force could not protect the entire coastline.
It was because of this that the Baldwin Group achieved its current glory. Even Todd Baldwin himself said that it was the United States that made him what he was today!
If there were no drug addicts in the United States, he would be nothing. Unfortunately, the United States had gathered the most drug addicts in the world!
