I’m really here to keep the peace
Chapter 021
This time in Africa, Shepard specially built a rare OH6 reconnaissance helicopter for special circumstances, this type of helicopter is extremely rare in 70 years, because it only entered service in 68, Shepard got this one from the CIA’s American Bureau, for which he also hitched a full gold wall clock, so when he left Africa, the plane had to be returned.
But although the price seems to be large, but in fact it is very worthwhile, because of the problem of range, two Huey helicopters because they are second-hand, so they are far from reaching the theoretical maximum range, can fly 600 kilometers has reached the limit, but OH6 helicopters are different!
In 1966, the vehicle flew 3,500 kilometers of long-distance tests, and now it is convenient to patrol hundreds of kilometers of pipelines and oil wells! However, at present, the
plane is still waiting for the train to be loaded in the harbor, and it will take a while to wait for Lubumbashi, so at present, the Shadow Company cannot officially start the mission.
As the host, Jean Leiso also enthusiastically left a few people to eat dinner in the company cafeteria, they had good French cooks and fresh beef just delivered, let Leiso also open a bottle of red wine, and then poured each person a small half glass to taste.
“Speaking of which, we haven’t heard of the existence of such a company as the Shadow Company before, you guys have just been established?”
“Yes, it has not been established for long!”
“Then your starting point is much higher than many guys I’ve seen, those mercenaries from France and Belgium just got some trucks, and even a guy came to work with his men on bicycles!”
“The guy you’re talking about is Bob Denard, right?”
“Have you heard?”
“I’ve heard, I heard that because Mobutu took a fancy to his wife, he rebelled!”
“Nothing, Mobutu and that guy, purely because of profit!”
“What do you know about Lubumbashi’s mercenaries?”
Shepard saw that this guy seemed to be familiar with the local situation, so he asked casually.
And Jean Lesso was also a passionate Frenchman, and immediately introduced Schapard to his competitors.
“There are a total of three mercenaries in this place, two are from France and Belgium, and one is from Britain, the first two have more than three hundred people, but most of them are recruited locally, as for the British group, say it is Britain, that is, the leader is that the rest of his subordinates are from South Africa!” There are about a hundred people!
“And what about the local garrison, how many are there?”
“The garrison, said that there are five thousand, in fact, it is less than a thousand, that pig-headed colonel, one by one, eats empty pay, and his subordinates are a bunch of waste, and they are jumped by the chickens and dogs that are troubled by the guerrillas! Just before, a police station was directly burned, and the policemen inside were stripped naked and thrown on the street, which was ridiculous to death!
Let Leiso talk more and more vigorously at this time, as if he has found one of the few pleasures he has in Africa.
“Then Kinshasa doesn’t care?”
“What the hell? Mobutu himself is frantically making money, and his subordinates are not as good as him! A meal is also a good place to come from,
whether it is a main course or a dessert, Shepard can only say that the French are not dark in this regard, and they will come more often in the future when they have time.
After eating and drinking, let Leiso also want to take a few people to see the local characteristic service industry, and ensure that the level is not worse than that of Europe and the United States, Shepard, who guessed at once, immediately found a reason to refuse, in this life he has not even driven a few European and American cars, African cars still count!
So Shepard took the map and returned to the camp, at this moment the camp has probably been cleaned up, except that there is still no gate, there is no furniture in the building, the door and window have been connected, the water has been reconnected, and it can be regarded as being able to move in with a bag.
“But let the brethren endure first, and then move in after the disinfection is completed!”
Shepard still resisted the impulse, anyway, it was the same outside, it was better to sleep in the tent first.
As for Jean Reso’s engineering team, those guys are still busy outside and have to wait a day to come back. And Shepard who returned to the camp saw that there was nothing to do, so he had to
decorate the combat command room first, in fact, it was to make a few tables and chairs, and then hang the map on the wall, and in the afternoon, when everyone who had nothing to do was playing cards in the camp, they accidentally found a running wild boar, so Shepard immediately roared and commanded everyone to start the wild boar siege, because the situation was chaotic, Shepard asked everyone not to shoot, so a dozen people except the sentries and the wild boar were extremely embarrassed, But fortunately, a Vietnamese man was brave enough to grab his hunting knife and pounce on the boar to release blood, which made everyone submit the boar and then began a barbecue party.
And this barbecue conference also made the employees of the company who are a little familiar with each other, and also brought the relationship between management and executive management closer, which can be regarded as a good start.
The next morning, a small engineering team arrived, and after bargaining with Shepard, they negotiated for 50,000 yuan, and the engineering team would repair three closed hangars for the Shadow Company to house helicopters that had not yet been delivered, and Shepard also asked the latter to pour three cement barricades on the road in front of the gate to prevent possible attacks.
As for the repair of the camp’s interior, it was also included, but it was not limited to the purchase of furniture, because the two sides could not agree on the price, and seeing that the price could not be negotiated, the second in command of the engineering team, a local black uncle, made a suggestion that they could go to the market in the capital Lubumbashi.
“Mr. Shepard, you should be the most difficult person I have ever met, you can spend a lot of money for the hangar, why do you have to deal with us in the same bed?”
“That’s because I know what money to save and what not to save!”
“God, I wish I wouldn’t do business with you next time!”
“But God doesn’t pay like me!”
“yes, so I’m very conflicted now!”
The head of the engineering team was also French, a distant cousin of Jean Resso, but the two brothers were all working for the Americans, and Shepard was the most bargaining guy they had ever met, but he was also the happiest in giving money, because just after negotiating the list, he took out a thirty percent deposit according to market rules and paid directly in cash.
Such guests are a real joy and hate for them, but anyway, once the impression is given, it is very memorable.
“But anyway, it’s a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Shepard!”
“Me too, I’ll find you next time!”
