"Let go of the commander!"
Seeing that the boss was under control, Francois's men almost wanted to shoot, but five kilograms of explosives were placed in front of them. In the end, they could only put down their weapons and admit defeat, and then looked at Shepard.
"You won, but there's no need to kill them all. Let go of the captain, and I'll make sure you leave safely!"
"Leave safely, I think you are wrong. I am the one who has the initiative now. I have the final say on who can leave safely!"
Shepard kicked Francois's revolver away, and his right hand that was originally holding the bottle changed direction and punched Francois directly on the high bridge of his nose.
"Do you think you can leave safely? Monsieur Francois?"
"Kill me and you won't survive. My people will chase you to the ends of the earth. Your family..."
Before Francois could finish speaking, the broken wine bottle in Shepard's hand stabbed deeply into his left hand.
"Now that you said so! Let's wait and see! Remember what I said, Captain!"
Immediately, Shepard let go, straightened his clothes, and was about to leave. But before he left, Shepard suddenly stopped, then turned around and said to a group of French mercenaries in the restaurant.
"By the way, everyone, I will pay you one million dollars to buy the heads of this guy's whole family! One million dollars! I will do what I say!"
As a result, the already tense atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became strange. The mercenaries looked at each other, their eyes flashing, and then a voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.
"Don't believe this American, he must be lying to us and wants us to kill each other! The captain has been so kind to us, there is no way we can betray him!"
"It's best that way, but my promise is still valid, one million!"
Then, Shepard swaggered out of the restaurant, and the PMCs behind him were still wary of the mercenaries in the room, walking out one by one, and the last one was the guy with explosives strapped to his body.
And before walking out of the restaurant, this guy didn't forget to let out a ghostly scream, then took off his vest and threw it into the room. Looking at the vest with the fuse sizzling and smoking, the French people in the room also started to look for cover howling like a wolf. , everyone held their breath and waited for the moment of death, and then waited for several minutes without seeing an explosion. Finally, Francois, who had a wine bottle in his hand, stood up and kicked away the so-called explosive vest. Only then did he realize that this was a fake!
When the Frenchman rushed out, he discovered that his Jeep had also been attacked. The tires were flat. These guys even broke the gear handle!
"You losers, niggas are more useful than you!"
Francois' hand was pricked and his neck was cut open. At this moment, he could only vent his anger on his men. However, he didn't notice at all. The cowering men had many other things in their eyes at this moment. After he finished venting, he remembered that Shepard had just offered him an incredibly high price.
"Well, brothers, I haven't treated you badly over the years, have I?"
"No, no, the captain has been so kind to us! The fact that our brothers can live a good life today all depends on the captain!"
"I can rest assured that!"
Francois touched the cold sweat on his head and said that he really didn't have too much trust in the character of his subordinates, but for now he could only take a gamble.
"That's good, let the brothers gather back at the base. I want to teach that damn American bastard a lesson!"
This negotiation was actually the last test before the two sides broke up. It was impossible for Francois's people to withdraw, and it was impossible for Shepard to accept it. Everyone met for one thing.
"I won't act anymore!"
"Boss, I don't understand why I didn't kill that guy there!"
"Killing him is easy, but it will break the established rules of the mercenary industry. If we want to become an industry benchmark, in addition to having a big fist, our reputation is also important!"
One thing to say, if everyone was in the wild, then Shepard would definitely not mind the tug-of-war. After all, as long as this kind of thing is silenced in time, it will not have any impact on his reputation, but if everyone is in the city, there are many people and there are many eyes. , then it’s better to be patient.
As for Francois, that guy didn't dare to shoot. The purpose of bringing out the gun was to scare Shepard, but he didn't expect that Shepard wouldn't accept this trick and even used his tallness to backhand him. After a moment, if this spreads out, he will be embarrassed!
"Then the one million you said? Is it true or false?"
"That must be true, I am the one who tells the truth!"
Shepard raised his finger and pointed to the sky.
His reward is serious, whether it is marketing or establishing prestige. In short, the character design can be terrible, but it must be there. Spending a lot of money to buy the lives of the mercenary leader and his family may be laughed at if word spreads. But when he fulfills his promise completely, if nothing else, at least most people will remember him!
"Will Francois agree to our terms and leave?"
"Definitely not. Wen Wu is No. 1 and Wu Wu is No. 2. If that guy backs down, he may not have an employer in the future. Therefore, that guy will definitely have a fight with us!"
"Then how is he going to fight us?"
"Then you must choose a place to fight!"
The mercenaries have no solid logistics and no stable support. A full-scale war is impossible. If there is a conflict, it must be to pick the most important node on both sides. Currently, Francois's most important node is the six French Brunet companies. Mine, but Brunet and Francois have broken up, and there is no point in fighting there. On the contrary, the importance of BHP's river valley camp to the Shadow Company is self-evident.
"The British can only suffer a little longer!"
As for whether the other party will attack the Shadow Company's camp, it's not that Shepard looks down on the other party. The Shadow Company camp is set up in an old Belgian military camp. It has stone and concrete defenses. After Shepard took over, the camp was gradually added. There are many sentry towers and observation posts set up, and there are also a group of civilians around who receive US dollars and eat shadow aid food. If he wants to attack here, he first has to mobilize hundreds of people to hide from thousands of pairs of eyes.
As for counterattacking the opponent's camp, that is not realistic for Shepard. His camp has defenses, and so does the opponent's camp, and combatants are deployed hundreds of kilometers apart. With the current logistics supply capabilities of Shadow Company, that is really necessary. explosive!
So whether Shepard or Francois, the only thing they can choose is the river valley. If the mercenaries take over the river valley, it will be a bumper harvest for them and the mining companies behind them. And the Shadow Company's defense of the river valley also means that they Successfully knocked out the mercenary's money bag.
If a mercenary has no money to earn, then how can he still be called a mercenary?
