Anatoly felt like a rooster waiting to be slaughtered. His eyes and mouth were blocked, and he could only helplessly hump around in the cabin. But then he was suppressed by several hands, and he couldn't help but feel like a rooster waiting to be slaughtered. Unable to move.
Then, there was the sound of the propeller starting. Anatole guessed that these guys were preparing to throw him into the uninhabited jungle and destroy his body and traces. Unable to save himself, he could only wait silently for his last moments. Then, as the helicopter With a slight shock, he understood that his final moment had arrived.
"Bye, brother!"
Then, Anatoly felt that his butt was kicked hard, and he flew out directly, and then the smell of earth hit his face.
Then, the roar of the propeller disappeared, leaving him struggling desperately in place until dozens of minutes later, when he was almost asleep, and suddenly several hands appeared and touched him.
"Um?"
Anatoly, who didn't know what happened, began to struggle again, and then his blindfold was pulled off.
Several shirtless black uncles bared their white teeth and smiled at him. Then, Anatoly saw Ivanov, who was also tied up next to him.
"These damn guys!"
Anatoly was angry and annoyed at the moment, but fortunately the mission had been completed. All the prisoners of Shadow Company were released, even those with missing arms and legs. Shadow Company even thoughtfully prepared supplies for the wounded. Stretchers and medicines, Anatole didn't even know what to say.
And Ivanov was still thinking of finding an opportunity to take revenge, but Anatoly stopped him.
"Think about your own problems first, Ivanov, and figure out how to go back and explain to the major general!"
As for the Shadow Company, Anatoly can guarantee that they may have to deal with the Shadow Company in the future, but at that time, it is not certain who will arrest whom!
But Shepard doesn't want to deal with the Russians anymore, at least not yet. After all, he extorted so much money from the other party in one breath. You must know that the Bretton Woods system has not completely collapsed at this time. Seven hundred thousand is very valuable.
If placed in an ordinary family of three, this money would be enough for them to realize their American dream. If placed in an economically underdeveloped country, it would be a huge amount of money. However, for Shepard, especially when he finished his daily calculations, After spending money, he discovered that 1.7 million was actually not much.
There are currently more than 260 employees in Shadow Company, half of whom are currently using the Navy's subsidies like crazy. Not only does he not have to pay for it, he can even save hundreds of thousands of expenses, but the Vietnam War is about to end. In a little more than two years, after the war is over, the Navy will definitely no longer be taken advantage of, and even so, the daily expenses of the remaining more than 100 people will be a large amount.
As someone who has experienced it, Shepard naturally knows the consequences of being owed wages, especially those who work as contractors. Therefore, the wages of company employees are settled on time every month. The basic salary plus war zone subsidy costs 50,000 yuan per month. In addition, there are Including food, drink, toilets, helicopters and car maintenance, the monthly net expenditure is about 100,000.
"So, we still have to find a way to make money!"
Shepard glanced at the map hanging on the wall. Due to its geographical location and environmental factors, Katanga Province actually has a very single industrial structure. The entire province basically relies on selling resources to make money, including oil, copper, iron, and even wood. It is an export commodity, and this is why there are many mercenaries in this province. Because of the long and narrow terrain and harsh natural environment, someone must protect it.
The growing demand will naturally lead to a growing market. Shepard did a rough survey before coming. In Katanga Province alone, the value of armed escorts is worth millions of dollars every year. , and this money was divided up by mercenary security companies of all sizes.
Shepard will certainly not ignore such a market, but there is a very serious problem. Shadow Company has a very strong American label.
This label may be useful when dealing with the government, but it is not so useful when dealing with private companies!
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a former Belgian colony, so European companies, especially Belgian and French companies, have taken root here very early and have a very solid foundation. As an old European, everyone actually doesn’t like the United States very much. If the other party hadn’t With money and money, he is the leader of the free world. It is strange for Europeans to lead the United States to play!
Biffa's company has been operating here for many years, and then the Americans come to interfere and grab food from the pot. Naturally, they don't get a good look. Just like Jean Reso, he is obviously French, but the local French party If you don't call him at all, you are squeezing them out as promised, and the security services of these European companies naturally give priority to their own countries.
Shadow Company does not have overwhelming strength and does not have strong local connections. It is quite difficult to break into the market. However, this is also an opportunity. The influence of the old colonial empires on Africa is gradually fading. As long as he can seize the opportunity , then you will definitely get the biggest piece of cake.
However, Shepard couldn't think of any solution at the moment. The poor relatives in Europe were really malicious towards Americans. It had been so long and no one had asked Shepard to hold a bank party or something. He was obviously so experienced.
"So, there's no banquet or anything? There's no developer conference, just let's just have a casual meal and drink!"
When Shepard was worrying about this every day, Colonel Senerio finally gave Shepard a big surprise. On the sixth day after Shepard received the ransom, the former's messenger sent him a An invitation to Shepard to attend the eighteenth birthday of his seventh mistress two weeks later.
"This guy eats Arabian blood oats every day, right?"
Shepard remembered that the guy must be forty-nine, and he also has diabetes and high blood pressure. He usually eats, drinks, whores and gambles. He has a seventh mistress, which is really a bit too hard-working!
But this is a good opportunity. As a local snake, Senerio must have connections with European companies. Shepard felt that it was necessary for him to go and have a look, at least to become familiar with everyone. Furthermore, he actually wanted to see Senerio. What does Nerio's seventh mistress look like? She must be good at giving an old guy a second spring!
"Then what gift should I prepare for him?"
Plomri, who also saw the invitation, asked curiously.
"Well, I really need to think about this!"
Shepard thought for a while. Although he didn't know what to give, he had to give something with the characteristics of Shadow Company!
