Working as a police officer in Mexico

Loyalty that is not absolute is tantamount to absolute disloyalty!

What's the point in keeping such people around?

Feeding from Victor's supply, using Victor's guns, giving you the sense of honor that comes with being a police officer, yet you still want to topple me?

I'll send you to meet Hong Xiuquan first!

Oh, this is the brother of God.

The applause continued for nearly seven to eight minutes; nobody dared to stop. Only when Victor raised his hand did they quiet down, many with red hands from clapping.

"Our cause has no need for traitors, gentlemen! Remember, '13' represents me, watching over your conduct. I allow you to make mistakes, but please... remember, never get caught."

These words sent chills down many spines.

In that instant, numerous ulterior thoughts were extinguished.

"The meeting continues."

"The main agenda for today's meeting is the restructuring of the Anti-Drug Force!"

"Starting today, the Anti-Drug Force will be divided into the Ground Police Corps, Sea Police Corps, Air Police Corps, and the Logistics Support Police Corps!"

"The Ground Police Corps will include the DEM, Storm Mobility Team (EDTV), Mexican National Emergency Squad (EDN), and the former 112th Battalion of the Mexican Army, totaling 11,989 people!"

"Four regiments will be established, and the specific list will be decided after discussion!"

"I will personally take command of the Ground Police Corps, with Kennedy serving as the deputy commander."

"The Air Police Corps will include 65 various types of armed helicopters, a total of 212 helicopter pilots. Zolf Sherman will serve as commander, with deputy commander Damon Hesfu Zola."

This is the former commander of the Mexican National Emergency Squad (EDN).

"The Sea Police Corps will include one TNC 45-class general-purpose fast patrol boat, nine fast assault boats, mainly responsible for anti-drug activities within Mexico's territorial waters, with a total of 121 people. Ivica Alonso will be in charge."

This is the captain of the TNC 45.

There's no helping it; this is the current strength of Victor's Coast Guard, 121 people, a force already far more formidable than the "Seven Warlords of the World."

It's like the Mongolian Navy, where seven people make up an entire navy.

The Mongolian Navy, the Vatican Air Force, and the Gambian Army are known as the three giants, especially the latter under the lunatic rule of Jawara, who boasted he could invade the Soviet Union in three days.

Even planned to beat down the United Kingdom so the Queen would bear his children.

The Soviet Union and the United Kingdom were just irritated momentarily.

What use was that irritation? A cosmic superpower is a legitimate one.

Victor is not focusing much on naval development because, for now, drug cartels do not have the capability to threaten him from the sea. Of course, this is just a temporary situation.

After the North American Drug Alliance is formed, it may not be the same.

It's rumored Pablo has submarines.

Looks like it's time to arm up the Navy, at least getting aircraft carriers should be on the agenda, right?

121 people definitely need to be expanded to over a thousand!

"The Logistics Support Police Corps includes ground support, ordnance, tanks, vehicles, aircraft, ship (boat) maintenance personnel, as well as construction and maintenance of military facilities, with a total of 2,712 members! Yuri Burns will be in charge, with deputy commander Kost Ben Tapeya!"

These two were also among Victor's first subordinates, always diligent in logistics. They deserved a promotion. If Victor ever had the chance to take Cuauhtémoc's place and vie for Mexico, these two would be his heads of industry.

The figure of over two thousand members is just the formal count; many are temporary workers or construction workers who are not included in the count.

"Besides restructuring the police force, another department will be established: the Mexican Joint Operations Command. All operations will be unified under this department. I will be in charge of the command, with Casare Gonzalez, Army Kennedy Heisenberg, Air Force Zolf Sherman, Coast Guard Ivica Alonso, and Yuri Burns serving as deputy commanders.

The National Guard, with 15,000 members, will be the direct police force of this department!"

The total military strength is nearly 30,000!

However, he has nearly 2 billion points, and from the last promotion, about a thousand vacancies were still left unclaimed.

Through the restructuring, Victor has seized substantial power, and those high up are "his own people" – except Casare, whose loyalty is beyond doubt!

With such a framework, there's no fear of anyone betraying him anymore.

Even if you wished to alter the situation like the African Niggers with just a handful of people, it would be completely impossible. Discover stories at empire

In the future, units like the EDM and the Storm Assault Team won't disappear but will survive within the police force under the name of Special Forces.

From the best, select the superior!

Meanwhile, other departments such as the Drug Enforcement Department, the intelligence agency, and the 13th Division were not included in the restructuring, as they were Victor's private domains.

After the restructuring of the forces, he also proposed changes to the police ranks.

On top of the existing Mexican framework, he added five levels, differentiated by one to five stars, with people like Kennedy being four stars, while he self-appointed himself as a five-star police chief!

However, this self-appointment clearly meant little as a reward for Golden Finger; it offered no "number of personnel" rewards, obviously… he did not acknowledge this self-appointment.

That's right.

If that were so, the Universal General would have to be invincible.

Nevertheless, this meeting solidified Victor's unshakable position within the Anti-Drug Force.

"Gentlemen, remember, our goal is the stars above and the sea beyond, our responsibility is to first rescue Mexico, then Latin America, and then to crush all the drug traffickers in the world!"

After the meeting disbanded, they left in dribs and drabs only after Mr. Victor had left, some grouping together with those they knew.

Each person wore a different expression.

Some knew that the military and police reform meant they would definitely get a promotion, so smiles were plentiful.

Yet, others looked tense, pondering over something.

When they stepped out of the auditorium, they all fell silent at once!

At the entrance lay about twenty corpses, the ground soaked with fresh blood!

This was clearly the result of a recent execution!!!

Many exchanged glances, swallowing their saliva, but some spat in disdain, "Scum!"

In a corner, a group of seven or eight people looked at each other.

The lowest among them was a police inspector.

"Meet at the usual place tonight!" A man with the rank of superintendent said with a sullen face.

"Demetrius, I'm out! I'm quitting!" A police inspector next to him constricted his pupils, shook his head, and whispered with a quivering voice.

"I'm out too! I'm not playing anymore!"

"Yes, me too!"

Another person chimed in.

The superintendent looked at them, his eyes droopy and vicious curse with his sclera showing, "You sure? You think you can quit?"

Their expressions turned ugly.

Superintendent Demetrius patted their shoulders, "Don't be late tonight."

With that, he left.

Leaving behind a group exchanging looks.

"Maybe… we should turn ourselves in!" Someone proposed shakily.

"Are you sure Mr. Victor won't have us killed?"

"But… following Demetrius is a sure path to death! Didn't you see the bodies on the ground?"

"That man is a poisonous snake, do you think we can really get out?"

The same inspector suddenly said, "What if… we sell him out!"

"Capture him, then hand him over to the 13th Division, we could say that we were infiltrating, better he dies than us!"

This proposal was very tempting to them.

They looked at each other.

But no one dared to make the decision.

A gust of wind blew.

Their already drenched clothes caused them to shiver with cold.
