Although more than half of the company's conscripts are from South Korea, the food is not Korean. The chef Shepard recruited has won a grand prize in Texas. Among other things, the barbecue is excellent. Absolutely, and facts have proven that if they had a choice, the conscripts would not eat kimchi every day.
Of course, although the barbecue is unlimited, the places are limited. The second batch of Shadow Company PMCs recruited can only watch helplessly as their compatriots eat and drink next door. They only have two ordinary dishes and one Tang, no one said anything. The prisoners brought in by helicopters that kept rising and falling, and the wounded brought back all showed that those colleagues had experienced a bloody battle.
So not only did no one gossip, on the contrary, many people were even looking forward to when they could participate in a fierce battle. After all, everyone came here to work hard to make money, and the people next door directly gave out bonuses at the barbecue party. !
Seeing his subordinates constantly looking at the next door, Major Park, who was responsible for training these newcomers, struck while the iron was hot and reiterated Shadow Company's generous treatment. He also pointed to the next door and told these newcomers that as long as you work hard enough, sooner or later you will be with us. They are the same!
The routine is simple, but effective. This can be considered deliberate by Shepard. After all, differential treatment is the easiest way to arouse people's desire to win.
After the celebration meeting, Shepard, smelling of alcohol, took several of his men to the cement warehouse in the corner of the base. This was a cell that existed during the Belgian garrison period. It was used to imprison the resistance forces and is now being held. After Shepard reinforced it, he used it to hold captives. Although their status was different, their skin color was similar, so it was considered to be the best use of everything.
Because of the fierce firepower of Shadow Company, there were not many prisoners who could be completely bearded and tailed, but there were about a dozen. Plus those who were lucky enough to survive, in the end, Shepard still managed to bring back more than forty people, including the wounded. They were all treated with herbal medicine by the local herbalists. Now whether they live or die depends on their fate. As for why the local herbalists were used, to be honest, Shepard was worried about the medical expenses. Western medicine is not cheap in Africa. He used it on himself. It’s good for people!
Shepard did not bother the wounded. These people were half-dead and asking questions was in vain. He asked the guards to bring out the intact ones and interrogate them one by one.
Facing the ferocious PMC, these black uncles had different attitudes. Some were frightened, some were full of hatred, and some were timid, but they were thinking about something in their eyes.
"This, this, this, pull him out first and kill him!"
Shepard first selected a few people who were obviously unconvinced, and they were all captured alive. You are still so stubborn here. If you are really so tough, why don't you fight to the end?
Soon, several gunshots were heard from outside, and the remaining prisoners were even more trembling. Some guys saw Shepard looking at them and fainted. These guys were thrown back to the cell by Shepard. , and the rest is what he wants to interrogate!
The remaining prisoners were obviously much smarter. After being brought to the interrogation room, they simply told everything they knew.
A large number of these mercenaries were members of the former colonial army in the past, so they could all communicate briefly in French, which saved them from trouble.
From their mouths, Shepard gained a lot of new understanding of the Franco-Belgian mercenaries entrenched in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The first is the number of people. The number of Fabian mercenaries is much larger than what Shepard knew before, but a considerable number of them are not taking orders from Francois. They have other bosses. These people are in Uganda, TSNY Regional activities are equivalent to dividing families.
There are also many black mercenaries on Francois's side. In addition to those who were tricked by Shepard, he has almost three hundred people under his command, plus the same number of white mercenaries. Francois has at least more than 500 people who can fight.
In addition, what surprised Shepard was that Francois actually had a large weapon hidden in his hand. The opponent also had several old 75mm artillery pieces, but Uncle Black didn't know whether they were m1897 or Schneider 1922. Type, but neither the former nor the latter is easy to deal with!
"No wonder that guy is doing so well in the Democratic Republic of the Congo!"
"But they don't have a helicopter!"
"Yes, helicopters, especially military helicopters, are rare these days, so we don't have to be afraid!"
After understanding the general situation, Shepard asked people to send these guys who were not strict at all back. He also threw a piece of white bread to a few of them as a reward for their honesty.
The few people who got the white bread were not polite. After everyone got it, they immediately pulled apart their cheeks and stuffed it into their mouths. Others looked at it with envy, so many prisoners who could still speak also shouted that they had information. Among these people, one was the most seriously injured, but the one with the loudest voice!
"I am the boss of these people, what do you have, come at me, don't embarrass my brothers!"
That's right, this guy is Osaba. He was hit by three bullets and a bayonet, and was hit hard on the back of the head by the butt of a gun. For a normal person, it would be difficult to recover from such an injury without lying down for half a year, but this guy was He woke up not long after being carried into the prisoner of war camp, and then saw his men feasting there.
Osaba, who was so hungry, didn't care about any restraint and just lay down in front of the iron railing and shouted. Then, he was dragged in front of Shepard.
"Sir, if you have anything to ask, just say it and I will tell you everything!"
"I have nothing to ask, you can tell yourself!"
Shepard asked someone to bring over a plate of leftover barbecue and waved it in front of him.
"If you say it well, you will be rewarded, but if you say it badly?"
He threw a piece of barbecue on the ground and crushed it to pieces with his feet.
Osaba, who was almost hungry and anxious, nodded immediately and said.
"Sir, you actually want to drive that bitch Ek out of Katanga province, right?"
"uh-huh!"
"I can help. Those black mercenaries and I are good brothers. As long as you offer a higher price, I am absolutely sure that they will betray you!"
"Well, what about the conditions? You can't do it because of this plate of meat, right?"
"If you take root in Katanga Province, you will definitely need our help, right? I am willing to recommend myself to be the manager!"
Osaba also smiled sheepishly, and then said.
Shepard also didn't expect that there would be someone who wanted to join him as his younger brother after being beaten up by him. Good guy, your last name was Lu in your previous life, right?
"Did you tell Ek the same thing before?"
