I’m really here to keep the peace

Shepard also knew that if he did too much, he would have a bad reputation, and after thinking about it again, he still ordered all the personnel to withdraw and rest, and it was time for the mercenaries to reduce their personnel continuously. And François’s side, in the face of angry party A, François

is not as confident as Shepard, especially those investors with backgrounds, they are already considering terminating the contract, François’s performance is simply too disappointing for them, with this kind of insect, how can they loot the wealth of the colony?

“Remove those checkpoints for me, you have a conflict with the Shadow Company, then you go and solve it yourself, whether you dig trenches in the field or charge bayonets, we won’t care, but if you interfere with our operations again, then don’t blame me for calling the country, Captain François!”

“But…”

“It’s nothing, it’s not a discussion, it’s an order, and besides, our contract ends this month!” The head of the French

mining company, Atorien, spoke in an icy tone, and he had always seen the poor performance of the French mercenaries, whether it was fighting or guarding, there was no trace of professionalism or professionalism at all.

And most importantly, these guys’ appetite can be growing, just before the conflict with the Shadow Company, François even wanted to interfere with the distribution of mineral shares, and even colluded with local miners to give eye medicine to the top management, which in the eyes of Atorian is the betrayal of the red fruit!

Then he also kicked the other party directly unceremoniously, as for the next home, the shadow company is very good, the other party has even given Adolian a reasonable offer, this offer includes a series of services including fleet escort, personnel security, asset protection and so on, in short, they are all covered, but the money is only paid once This is

much more conscientious than François, the other party’s facilities security one price, personnel escort one price, convoy escort is charged per use, if not for the bad environment in this place, Tribal armed clashes occurred from time to time, and Atorian had no choice, otherwise he would not have looked for François to death.

And what can François do except be angry, to know that Atorien’s little aunt is said to have a somewhat unclear relationship with Georges Pompidou, otherwise the other party will not return to occupy such a position at this age, such a person he does not even dare to speak ruthlessly, offending the capital boss, his wife and son who are farming in the countryside of Marseille are really likely to disappear!

“Mr. Adorien, you are betraying your friends in this way…”

“Betrayal, I’m just acting according to the contract, I’m a businessman, to be worthy of investors, that’s enough, Captain, good luck!”

After Atorian left with a group of merchants, the sound of jingling bells suddenly came from François’s room, and then, with red eyes and panting, and even holding his proud paratrooper beret in his hand, François walked out of the room and said to his subordinates who had been waiting outside.

“Let our men withdraw, and besides, give me an appointment with John Shepard!”

“Head, what are we looking for that guy for?”

“What else can you do, negotiate!”

François thought that he only needed to suppress the Shadow Company, but he didn’t expect that it was his own customer who surrendered first, and Atorien’s backstab was completely unexpected to him, and even he was wishful thinking that as long as he withdrew people and returned everything to the way it was, the guy would continue to cooperate with him.

But what he didn’t expect was that when he went to find Atorian again, the conditions put forward by the other party almost made him jump. In the past, the

contract he signed with the French mining industry was not less than one million standards, in order to get those mining areas, their mercenaries can always charge ahead, but now, the mining company is stable, but it has to significantly cut costs, the security costs of the six mines of the French mining company, Atorian is only willing to give 80,000 yuan a year, which is nearly sixty percent less than before, in addition to the combat allowance, it is necessary to change from French francs to Congolese francs, although they are all francs, but the exchange rate of the two is very different. The angry

François almost wanted to lift the table, he had seen the bargain, he had never seen such a bargain, but Adorian’s look was obviously determined by him, the angry François could only slam the door, and he couldn’t even let his subordinates evacuate, because the contract time had not yet arrived, if he picked the pick, Adorian could chase another liquidated damages.

At this moment, François understood that it didn’t matter whether the military operations of the Shadow Company were important or not, and the other party’s different charging method was the biggest threat to him, and it could even be said that a knife was poked in his soft underbelly.

So, he still has to talk to Shepard!

And Shepard is also happy to talk, everyone’s inventory is limited, helicopter fuel is not cheap, Huey needs aviation kerosene from Kinshasa, the rockets fired last time also have to be shipped from Vietnam, not to mention there are others, even if he wants to fight, he needs time.

The negotiation venue between the two sides chose a French restaurant in Lubumbashi, the owner is a black man, but he makes a good French meal, and many old Parisians say that they eat it well.

Logically, negotiations involving pricing and market issues should be extremely serious, but when Shepard arrived with a few of his men, the negotiations were a bit crooked. First, the

vigilant mercenaries outside looked at the bazooka and heavy machine guns carried by the PMCs of the Shadow Company and frowned, who negotiated to bring this thing, and after Shepard walked into the restaurant, the first thing he said was not to say hello, but to tell the restaurant owner.

“This meal is all on the account of the French captain!”

“Why, the ruler of the Shadow Company can’t even afford to pay for a meal?”

Sitting in a chair, François, who was tasting the authenticity of the red wine, couldn’t help but say sarcastically.

“That’s right, let’s AA this meal!”

François almost choked on the wine, the other party did not follow the routine at all, and a set of random fights almost made him break the defense first.

“Just be happy, after all, Americans always have a lot of novel ideas!”

“Alas, I still admire the French more, after all, you invented the guillotine, and the inventor used it to cut off his own head!”

“I think we’d rather talk about something else, Mr. John Shepard, I wonder how much you know about Algeria?”

“Then it depends on the individual or the official version!”

“What about the official?”

“The anti-colonial movement in Algeria dealt a painful blow to the arrogance of the French colonialists and gave the voice of the independence movement all over the world!”

“What about private people?”

“A mess of!”

François didn’t want to talk about it for an instant.
