A brief analysis of the desperate game between Lao Bai and Uncle Fried Chicken

The relationship between Walter White (Walter White) and Uncle Fried Chicken (Gustavo Fring, hereinafter referred to as Uncle Chicken) began to crack when Jesse Pinkman insisted on killing two of Uncle Chicken's minions in order to protect his little brother Kang Combo takes revenge.

Uncle Chicken foiled Pinkman's murder plan in time, and gathered the parties to negotiate, and finally reached a compromise: Pinkman let go of the matter, and the two thugs will no longer use minors to sell drugs (Uncle Chicken's original words: No kids ).

It is hard to say that such a treatment is fair. Although Pinkman is unwilling, he has to bow his head under the roof. Unexpectedly, the two minions lacked intelligence, misinterpreted the meaning of Uncle Chicken's order, and executed the minor Thomas that night. This angered Pinkman completely, because Thomas happened to be the younger brother of Pinkman's second girlfriend, Andrea.

After seeing the news, Lao Bai expected that Pinkman would definitely take revenge, and hurried to the site of the two gangsters. At this time, the fierce battle between Pinkman and the two gangsters was about to break out. Without hesitation, Lao Bai slammed on the accelerator and killed the two scoundrels.

Lao Bai asked Pinkman to run away and proposed two solutions to Uncle Chicken. Option A, kill the old white in the wilderness, and then spend a few months tracking Pinkman. Plan B, forget this unpleasant thing, and let Lao Bai continue to make drugs. As a businessman, Uncle Chicken naturally chose the latter, but on the condition that Gale must be Lao Bai's deputy. But both of them knew in each other's heart that in the near future, only one of them would be able to see the rising sun.

Gail, a full-fledged chemist and old Bai's former deputy, is happy to be back at work. Gail quickly learned and mastered Lao Bai's drug-making process, and Uncle Chicken ordered Mike, the bodyguard, to kill Lao Bai. Unwilling to be captured, Lao Bai informs Pinkman to kill Gail under the pretext of explaining his death. After Gail was killed by Pinkman, Uncle Chicken, with incomparable hatred, had to leave Lao Bai to continue making drugs for him.

However, the losses suffered by Lao Bai's series of blows are negligible compared to the threat from the Mexican drug cartel in the south, and Uncle Chicken must first solve the problem of the Mexican drug cartel. Uncle Chicken gained Pinkman's trust and took him to Mexico to successfully produce 96% pure methamphetamine using Laobai's recipe. Everyone cheered and held a party, and opened a bottle of the famous wine that Uncle Chicken brought as much as Lafite in 1982. The wine is actually highly poisonous, and all the drug dealers in Mexico fell to the ground and died. During the shootout, Mike, the bodyguard, was injured and stayed in Mexico to recuperate. After Uncle Chicken underwent gastric lavage treatment (Uncle Chicken naturally drank poisonous wine in order to deceive the drug dealers) Kerman returns to the United States.

This is Uncle Ji's battle of conferring gods, known in history as the "Mexico Victory", which wiped out all the leaders of the Mexican drug cartel at almost zero loss, paving the way for him to realize his ideal of building a "meth kingdom". It is worth mentioning, however, that the loss suffered by Uncle Chicken—Mike was injured and could not return to the United States for the time being—was far more lethal than it seemed at the time.

Lao Bai tries to alienate Uncle Chicken Pinkman, and finds out that Uncle Chicken often visits an old man named Hector in a nursing home.

Hecht is a former senior cadre of the Mexican drug cartel. He lost his ability to move and speak due to persecution by colleagues, and was trapped in a wheelchair. He had a mortal hatred with Uncle Chicken. Uncle Chicken didn't kill Hecht so that he could witness the downfall of his descendants of the Mexican drug cartel. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Lao Bai persuades Hecht to join forces with him to kill Uncle Chicken. Old Bai made an earth bomb and placed it under Hecht's wheelchair. Hecht lured Uncle Chicken into the room, detonated the bomb before Uncle Chicken sent him on the road, and they both died. It was the first and last time we saw Uncle Chicken. A look full of fear.

A brave, ruthless, and ruthless drug lord eventually lost to a middle school chemistry teacher. If only luck was used to explain it, he would have committed the fatalistic mistake of Xiang Yu's "God will kill me without war". To analyze Uncle Chick's failure, first notice a conversation between Uncle Chick and Pinkman when he fled back to the United States from Mexico: Uncle Chick told Pinkman that it looks like you are capable of running a drug lab on your own. Pinkman says if you want to kill Old White, you have to kill me too. This dialogue shows that two conditions must be met to kill Laobai: 1. The technology of the new poison master reaches 96% purity. 2. The new poison master is not opposed to killing Lao Bai. These two conditions have actually been satisfied all along, of course, until Gale is killed. While we have praised Laobai's extraordinary drug-making skills countless times, we should not forget that Gale is also a talented drug-maker himself, as he revealed in his praise of Laobai's products: "I can make I am very proud to produce a product with a purity of 96%, but the purity of this sample is 99%, or even higher... Although 3% may not sound like much, the last 3% is an insurmountable gap. No less than the gap between Messi and Dong Fangzhuo...". If Uncle Ji is not a noble person who forgets things, then the only reason why Lao Bai did not fulfill him when he proposed Plan A, and it is also the fatal flaw that prevents Uncle Ji from achieving greatness, is that Uncle Ji is a perfectionist. Uncle Chicken once told Gail that 96% was enough for their clients, but he still hired Lao Bai to make the purest meth in the world. Even though Lao Bai has become a very unstable factor in his business, he still desires to be able to continue producing perfect methamphetamine while killing Lao Bai. While Uncle Chicken falls into unrealistic fantasies, Lao Bai is keenly aware that he can be invincible as long as he kills Gale himself. After Gail was killed, Uncle Ji sadly found himself in a passive situation where he could neither move Lao Bai but also beware of Lao Bai engaging him. The tragic fate was doomed and could no longer be undone.
