"How are the preparations going?"
"It's not bad. The brothers have already transported four bases of ammunition and all the artillery shells. In addition, United Mining also sent us a batch of cans and gauze!"
"Humph, these scum!"
Francois looked at the supplies in front of him, snorted disdainfully, and then turned to look at the deputy behind him.
"Your compatriots are too embarrassed. A copper mine can bring them tens of millions of profits, but now they give us some canned fruits?"
"I'll find a way to order something more!"
As a Belgian, Eck was also a little embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything more. After all, in addition to the food, United Mining also secretly stuffed him with red envelopes.
"It's not about stuff, it's about sincerity, you know, sincerity!"
Francois rubbed his messy hair. In the past few weeks, he had been staying in this dilapidated village. In addition to dealing with various mercenary affairs every day, he was studying how to break through the Shadow Company's defenses.
In his nearly thirty years of military career, François fought not only five hundred but also three hundred battles. He fought with the Algerian guerrillas, the Viet Minh, and the African army, but he This is the first time he has seen an opponent like Shadow Company, where snipers can be deployed in the most basic combat units. In the past few days, he has sent several detectives to look around outside the river valley mine, but he can't find a good counterattack at all. Closer, if anyone wants to get close, they will be chased away by the guards immediately. These damn Koreans only use sticks as warnings, and they even dare to let their dogs go.
Three of Francois's men were forced to go to the hospital for treatment because of dog bites. One of the unlucky ones even had two ounces of meat bitten off his buttocks.
So far, the only thing they know about is the semi-permanent fortifications on both sides of the river valley. Using BHP's engineering machinery, Shadow Company directly dug out complex spider web-like fortifications on both sides of the river valley, except for a large number of fortifications used by snipers. In addition to the hidden shooting positions, there are passages downhill from the fortifications that connect to the valley mining areas. These areas are all on reverse slopes. It is impossible to cause effective damage with the weapons he currently has in hand.
As for sneak attacks at night, there is no need to think about it. Those police dogs and endless disgusting traps give the mercenaries a headache. These traps they learned from who knows where are not fatal at all, but are specifically disgusting. , if the mercenaries want to carry out a real attack, they must first clear the traps in the forest, and then launch a charge from the forest, but from the forest to the defender's position, there is an unobstructed downhill slope for more than a thousand meters. Throw a basketball on it and it will roll down all the way. This kind of terrain has no cover, which is a massacre for the infantry.
The high slope must be captured, and it is best to capture it on both sides, so that they can mount the field artillery and directly bombard the valley below.
"How much can United Mining give?"
"What?"
"I said Union Mining's bounty!"
Seeing Francois staring at the map, Eck instantly realized that he was talking about the highlands.
"Fifty thousand yuan!"
"fifty thousand?"
Francois shook his head, this was a road to death, and 50,000 yuan to buy his life might not be enough.
"I'll add another 50,000, or 100,000 dollars. The first one to rush up the hillside alive, I'll give 100,000 dollars!"
"Isn't that a bit much?"
“As long as I can take down the hill, that’s not much!”
After looking at his watch and then at the mercenaries gathering in twos and threes outside, Francois made a solemn decision.
"The day after tomorrow is the end of the month, and it's also a Sunday. BHP's Indian guards will have a holiday, and most of the workers will also have a rest. There are only people from Shadow Company in the camp, so we'll start tomorrow morning!"
"the day after tomorrow?"
Ek was stunned and then asked.
"Aren't you a little anxious? If it's a few days later, United Mining can find more than 100 people for us to help!"
"No, we are waiting. Shadow Company is waiting too. There are other companies waiting too. Everyone wants to see who can have the last laugh. Ek, we and Shadow Company are peers. Our competition has nothing to do with right or wrong. It’s only about profit, we can’t delay it any longer!”
"I understand, then I will give them a final warning tomorrow morning!"
"Well, it's up to you!"
Francois nodded, then sat back at the desk and looked at the map carefully, and after Eck left the room, he was repeating Francois's last words.
"Yeah, who is right and who is wrong about this kind of thing!"
At eight o'clock the next morning, the freshly dressed Ek put on his military uniform, neatly put on his beret, and polished his leather shoes to make sure that he still maintained the glamorous appearance he had in the army. After that, he formally walked along the highway holding a white flag.
The sniper at the lookout noticed the other party immediately, and then a jeep with the flag of the Shadow Company drove out of the camp, picked Eke up in the car, blindfolded him and took him to the camp.
"It seems you can't bear it anymore!"
Hannibal, who was staying at the camp, was not wearing a military uniform, but a light gray tactical uniform. This was considered the first version of the Shadow Company uniform. There was also the Shadow Company logo on his left arm. He solemnly prepared it for Ekko. He took the chair and placed it directly opposite him.
"Almost, after all, everyone has been waiting for this day. Then, we require Shadow Company to withdraw from the Sudawa Valley, otherwise we will take further actions to complete this goal!"
Hannibal also stood up and answered extremely seriously and seriously.
"We reject all your proposals, let's see what each of us is really capable of!"
Ek nodded and then saluted Hannibal with a military salute.
"I will take the answer back, Mr. Commander. The next time we meet, we will become enemies!"
"Then you have to be careful not to be caught by my people! Remember to pick a good cemetery for yourself!"
"You too, if there is a shortage of coffins, we will provide them for you for free!"
After delivering the notice, Ek stood up and left. The moment he stepped out of the camp gate, it meant that both parties no longer had to hide, and could directly tear off the hypocrisy and fight together frankly.
And when Ek was about to walk out of the door, Hannibal suddenly called out to him again.
"This conflict has nothing to do with right or wrong!"
Ek turned back to look at the latter. Both sides had the same expressionless expression, but the plain eyes looking at each other said everything.
"It's only about profit!"
Ek replied, and then allowed the pmc to put a black cloth on himself and take him back to his previous place.
