Gilbert's surrender broadcast was like extracting the last bit of resistance from the spine of the Cali Cartel.
Allied Forces!
Under the command of Italian Colonel Rossi, suppressing his joy, they cautiously and swiftly took over the core stronghold of Cali.
At first, the surrender was in orderly fashion.
Members of Cali walked out of their bunkers expressionlessly, piling their weapons into mounds, then squatting with their heads in their hands.
Italian soldiers arrogantly maintained order, while the Colombian Government Forces were responsible for counting and guarding the prisoners. Their expressions were complex: the mission was accomplished, but the greatest glory seemed to be taken by the Italians.
However, once the core area was confirmed secure, the real "battlefield cleaning" began.
The target was no longer the remaining resisters, but the astounding wealth accumulated by the Cali Cartel.
The hiding spots were pried open one by one.
