Although Shepard ordered not to kill the enemy as much as possible, the situation on the battlefield was special and not all PMCs were sharpshooters. Therefore, among the nearly three hundred guerrillas, there were still dozens of corpses left behind, and those Many of the wounded who were knocked down were also in critical condition.
"Treat me as much as possible!"
Shepard looked at the corpses with a solemn expression. He was not a murderer, and he did not want to build a team of murderers. However, no matter how good the current situation was, it would not be any better. If he could leave half of the people alive, he would be considered a killer. Tried my best.
"We don't have much medicine to begin with!"
Hannibal still didn't know what Shepard wanted to do, so he raised his doubts, and then he saw Shepard's frown.
"Medical supplies are trivial. Hannibal, we came to Africa not to fight, but to make money. Do you think these guys are just rotten meat? You are wrong, these guys are our cash cow!"
"Money tree?"
Although Hannibal still didn't understand, who could be at odds with money, so without saying a word, he took out the bandage in his pocket and rushed towards a wounded person.
"What do you want to do with these guys? Exchange for bounty?"
Plumlee guessed what Shepard was thinking, but he didn't know who Shepard was planning to contact.
"Are government forces going to pay these guys a lot of money?"
"Who said it would be given to government troops?"
Shepard pointed to a guy who had a broken leg, but still survived tenaciously and even forgot to wear his red beret before falling into coma.
"Have you forgotten who these guys are?"
"Guerrillas trained by the Russians and Cubans?"
"Isn't it over then?"
At this time, Africa was not a barbaric land where dogs could not come before World War II. Since the end of World War II, the wave of independence in Africa has become stronger and stronger. Traditional colonial powers like Britain and France continue to lose their colonies. Although there is a sense of African national independence, The United States and the Soviet Union played a big role in the awakening. Although the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union had not yet reached its peak in 1971, in order to compete for the right to speak, both sides invested a lot in these small countries, just like the two countries. Just like a coal boss taking a lover, everyone is pouring aid into small countries.
In addition to the direct monetary offensive, the assistance we gave was not limited to military assistance, economic assistance, and energy assistance. It can be said that during this period, the leaders of the small countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America lived a quite prosperous life. After all, the two countries It is rare to see big powers taking turns to wait on you.
This is the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The initial independence was indispensable without the help of Big Brother, but the Americans picked the peaches midway. The national leader that Big Brother liked was directly overthrown, and even the whole body was not left behind. He was directly killed by CIA agents. They melted it with concentrated sulfuric acid.
However, as the Big Brother of the Soviet Union, naturally he would not admit defeat easily. During this period, everyone adhered to the spirit of "I can have a hard time, but you must have a hard time" and vigorously made trouble for the other party. If you support the government, then I will support it. The opposition, in short, all kinds of people and valuables are here to participate in the grand event. Although Shepard has not yet reached the above standards, he is already working hard to get closer.
"By the way, the information about the wounded must be kept secret. As for the corpses, let's choose a good grave for them!"
"Understood, the base barracks are big enough anyway!"
Plumli nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Shepard again.
"Oh, by the way, don't give too much food to the captives. Make sure these guys can stay alive, but they won't have any energy!"
"Uh, do you want to add some more medicine?"
"A laxative? Forget it. Prisoners are human beings too!"
Shepard shook his head. He didn't want to see his military camp turn into a pigsty.
"Oh, by the way, how about the screening of prisoners?"
"It's okay. Quite a few of these guys can speak Spanish and have a Havana accent. There are also some guys who can speak Russian, so communication is not a problem. Several officers have been picked out so far!"
"Let's go and have a look!"
Hearing that there were still living officers, Shepard suddenly became interested. He immediately stepped forward and passed through the guards to see dozens of gray-faced guys sitting behind the barbed wire with dejected expressions. Outside them, there were A dozen heavily armed PMCs were guarding these guys.
"These are the ones who were not injured. There should be some that have not been caught in the jungle. Do you want us to search again?"
"Forget it, don't worry about those in the jungle anymore! Those guys just run away!"
Shepard looked at the list of depressed Black Uncles and immediately walked to the barbed wire fence.
"Who is the officer? Come forward!"
No one responded, and the numb uncles just stared at Shepard until he spoke again.
"Why, don't you even have the courage to admit that you failed?"
As soon as he finished speaking, five black uncles stood up among the prisoners, who looked at him with hatred.
"Bring them out!"
Shepard waved his hand, and then the PMC stepped forward to take the people out. Many soldiers wanted to stop them, and then they were beaten with wooden sticks by the PMC.
"Don't worry, we abide by international conventions and will not persecute prisoners!"
Looking at the several officers being brought out, Shepard then confirmed the identity of the other party, and then discovered that the guerrillas in Katanga Province were indeed unusual. There were actually two prisoners who had attended the Soviet military academy. The remaining few have also received formal military training. If they were in the regular army of a sovereign country, these guys would be regarded as pillars of talent, but it is a pity that they are in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
"It's going to be difficult for me now!"
Shepard hit his neck in embarrassment. He originally wanted to put these officers back, because they were an uncertain factor among the prisoners. No matter what they were doing, the officers could organize soldiers to report to the group for warmth, but these few were all The rare talents in the guerrillas, in other words, are worth a lot of money. It would be a pity to put them back!
"Put these guys in solitary confinement, and the food must be enough. They must be fed to me so that they will be fat and white!"
Several officers didn't know what was going on and wanted to resist, but then they turned around and were put into sacks and stuffed into the helicopter.
"Well, since the officer can't do it, let's use the non-commissioned officer. All non-commissioned officers, stand up!"
Then several black uncles stood up with uneasy expressions. Looking at the expressions of these guys, Shepard immediately laughed, and then he pointed at the several black uncles.
"Give these guys some water and some food!"
"Oh, by the way, food and water are not free! You can go back after you have eaten and drank. However, please bring me a message when you go back!"
Shepard took out a coin and kept playing with it in his hand, and then said.
"Please help me ask your superiors how much it costs to train a soldier!"
