Spending one night in a small jungle village outside Bogota, early the next morning, Li Zaian took an off-road vehicle that had been prepared for him and set off on the itinerary again.
The terrain characteristics of northern Colombia are mountainous, east, west and middle three Cordillera mountains are like the character "Chuan", which divides the entire northern region into four sections. The continuous mountains and dense jungles provide excellent living space for drug trafficking organizations and anti-government guerrillas.
As the capital, Santa Fe Bogota is actually located between the East Cordillera Mountains and the Central Cordillera Mountains
As two famous drug distribution centers and also the second largest city in Colombia, Cali, the third largest city, is between the Central Cordillera Mountain and the West Cordillera Mountain.
Among the three Andes' side-line mountains, a large number of guerrillas and drug trafficking soldiers survived.
After leaving the suburbs of Bogota, Li Zai'an was riding the off-road vehicle, traveling southwest all the way. It was near dusk that he arrived at the destination of the trip, Pasto, the capital of Nalinho Province where Indians lived.
The situation in Colombia is obviously different from that in any country in the world. Take Pasto as an example. Nowadays, all parts of Colombia are hustle and bustle in combating drug trafficking forces, making the atmosphere extremely tense.
But in Pasto, the tense atmosphere is not felt at all. According to the driver, it is because Pasto is a settlement of Indians. More than 60% of the city's population is Indians.
When it comes to drug dealers, Indians should be much more tolerant because many of them rely on growing coca to make a living. It is precisely because of the existence of drug dealers that they can live a prosperous life
Pasto's status in international drug control archives is not prominent, but in fact, it is also a large-scale drug distribution center in Colombia. There are dozens of tons of drugs sent to the United States through the Pan-American highway every year.
But on the one hand, Pasto is an Indian settlement, and ethnic issues are very sharp and complex. On the other hand, it is because the official Colombian government does not want to harm the coca cultivation economy during the drug prevention process. Therefore, Pasto, also one of the drug distribution centers, was not included in the key area for crackdown.
The Andes jungle in dusk was filled with thick fog. The narrow road built beside the mountains had long been shrouded in thick fog. Things six or seven meters away in front of the car were completely invisible, just a vast white area
The used off-road vehicle seemed overwhelmed after a full day of bumps. The noise of the car was getting louder and louder, and there was still a slight white smoke coming out from the gap in the front of the car. It was probably the water tank was about to dry.
The driver is an Indian boy in his early twenties, with brown and black skin, long hair, and a ponytail on the back of his head. He speaks in a muffled voice, but Spanish is quite authentic.
...Mr. Tymochenko is a really good man. It always makes people feel weird to say a name with a typical Ukrainian style in Spanish, but the young driver is very familiar with the name of Tymochenko. His manor is just below the foot of the Gonmosa Mountain in front, and everyone in the town knows it...
The driver talked endlessly about things related to Mr. Tymochenko, just like he was afraid that Li Zaian and the others would have any bad impression of Mr. Tymochenko.
Although this young man was barely considered a drug practitioner, he obviously did not belong to a member of the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces Organization. So in his mouth, Mr. Timochenko became a good man. It is precisely because of his existence that many kidnapping cases that occurred in Pasto were successfully resolved.
But Li Zaian knew very well who this Mr. Tymochenko is
Timochenko is not his real name, but a nickname, the person it refers to is Rodrigue Rondonio
He is one of the core leaders of the Revolutionary Armed Forces in Colombia and is also a member of the organization's seven-member secretariat
In Li Zai'an's impression, around 2010, the revolutionary armed forces in Colombia suffered a heavy blow. Among the members of the seven-person secretariat, Maruranda had died of illness, and hawkish figures such as Raul Reyes, Alfonso Cano, Jorge Bricenio were beaten to death in the battle one after another.
Rodrigue Rondonho, a representative of doves, officially became the head of the organization and fought against the Bogota regime for a century before he began to turn to moderate and restart negotiations with the Colombian government.
But before that, for a long time, Rodrigue, who was nicknamed Tymochenko, was actually an invisible person, and few people from the outside world knew his true identity.
To be honest, if this piece of information was not exactly included in the memory of the previous life, Li Zaian would have only regarded the goal of this joint as an ordinary member.
Rodrigue's manor is called Yuida, which means it in local Indian language, similar to a paradise.
In the open, Rodrigue not only operates this estate covering an area of nearly 5,000 acres, but also does the engineering contracting business.
He made good deeds in Pasto. Last year alone, he built fifteen nine-story residential buildings in the town of Kaladek on the outskirts of the city to accommodate the homeless poor for free
In addition, he has donated more than 40 school buses to 24 primary schools in Pasto over the years, and has provided free fuel for these school buses for a long time.
Such good deeds have brought Rodrigue a very good reputation. As the driver said, he is a well-known good person in Pasto.
The off-road vehicle dared not drive too fast in the fog. It touched the hills in the mist. As soon as it turned over the dense ridge and forest belt, the thick fog outside the car suddenly cleared, and the sight in front of me became instantly transparent.
Through the dusty front window, you can see a fork made of gravel paved road on the right side of the road ahead of the car. The fork is winding and winding, leading directly to a dense rye field. At the end of the wheat field is a small European-style wooden villa, and a windmill stands tall on the sunny side of the villa.
To be honest, it is rare to see open farms like Colombia that are so quiet and pleasant, and there are no wire grids around them.
If so, the owner of the farm would have been kidnapped into meat by the guerrillas long ago
Since the farm in front of me dares to be unpredictable, it means that the owner of the farm is very powerful in the local area and does not even dare to provoke him by lawless guerrillas.
There is no doubt that this farm should be Rodrigue's Yoida Manor. The areas around Pasto are all areas of activity for revolutionary armed forces. As one of the seven elders of the organization, Rodrigue does not have to worry about being kidnapped by others on his territory.
The off-road vehicle drove into the manor in the last ray of sunset. The young driver parked the car at the intersection of the first flower bed in the manor. He asked Li Zaian and the others to get off the car with a restrained face. According to local customs, this fork in the road is the private territory of the manor owner. Guests who did not receive the invitation cannot walk in casually.
Li Zaian didn't force it. He and LeClose got out of the car. Each of them was carrying a simple suitcase in their hands. They were about to walk along the path towards the manor when they saw a four-seater battery car slowly coming over at the end of the path.
The electric car was driving very slowly. The driving was a young girl about 18 or 19 years old. The one sitting next to the girl was a middle-aged mixed-race man with a beard and a cigar in his mouth.
The electric car drove closer and stopped slowly. The bearded middle-aged man looked up and down at Li Zaian, got up and got out of the car and asked: Is it Mr. Paul who came from St. Paul?
That's right, I'm Paul, I'm... Li Zai'an was very polite when he heard the other party's words, so he changed into a smile and asked back
I am Rodrigue, but my friends like to call me Timochenko. The middle-aged man jumped out of the car and took the initiative to reach out and introduced himself. Mr. Paul can also call me Timo.
In addition to the nickname of Timochenko, Rodrigue also has a commonly used pseudonym: Timoleon Jimenez. In contrast, few people know the real name of Rodrigue.
It's great to see you, Mr. Timo Li Zai'an shook hands with him and said with a smile
I heard Mr. Marin specifically mention your name before. It is worthy of being a dove-like representative figure who has been hidden in the Colombian organization for nearly half a century. No matter what his true personality is, at least Rodrigue is quite approachable.
He held Li Zaian's hand tightly and smiled: Marin said that you are the most outstanding young man he has seen in recent years. Now it seems that at least he is not wrong about being young. As for whether it is excellent, haha, I think Silveto should be more qualified to evaluate
That's bad. As far as I know, Mr. Silveto will never like me. As for Mr. Marin, hehe, his impression of me is probably not as good as you said. Li Zai'an spread his hands and said with helpless expression.
Mr. Marin refers to Marinda, Marin is his real surname
Young people always have to be a little sharp, and those with sharpness will inevitably attract jealousy, so you don’t need to care about what others think of you. Rodrigue reached out and patted Li Zaian on the shoulder. While saying something casually, he nodded to LeClose who was following behind, and said, "Let's go, go to my manor and see two friends again. They are also very interested in your plan."
Oh? Friend? Li Zai'an did not hide his surprise
The situation is a bit complicated and I can't explain it clearly now. Rodrigue smiled and said while inviting the two of them into the car, "Let's go, I'll introduce you to me."
