The aggrieved messenger sent the message back again, and this time, Francois was not angry, but he just didn't want to give up. The mercenary career was his only reliance for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to give up.
After thinking over and over, he was ready to take a step back. As long as Shadow Company let them leave, he could choose to let some of the benefits go out. Although everyone knew that this was impossible, Francois ordered the messenger to set off again.
The messenger holding the white flag high had not left the factory this time. A bullet landed at his feet told him the outcome of the negotiation.
The messenger hesitated for a moment, then took another step, and then the second bullet directly knocked off the white flag in his hand. The other party's meaning was also very straightforward. The first shot did not hit you because of the white flag. The second shot After knocking down the white flag, if you don't know how to lift it up, the third shot will not hit the ground.
Without any hesitation, the messenger decisively returned to the factory with his hands raised high, but Francois was still hesitating. After all, the last time he surrendered was the last time. Who did he surrender to in the past? The Third Reich, the Viet Minh, or the Algerian guerrillas. Team, who should he vote for now? Americans will take the lead, Koreans will be the main force, and Vietnamese will assist mercenaries. Can this be cast?
Francois was like an ant on a hot pot at the moment. He walked around the room anxiously, trying to find a way to break the situation. Then, he thought of the black mercenaries in Saclar. Maybe these guys could help. It had some effect, but what Francois didn't know was that Sacral had already led his men to surrender first.
Just as the mobile detachment was attacking the northern highlands, Shepard personally led the last less than thirty people he had on hand to assault Francois's logistics base. In fact, it was not an assault, because Osaba had surrendered before. Sakra has been persuaded to put down his weapons, so Shepard has directly received the logistical supplies that the mercenaries have hoarded here.
And he was not polite. As soon as he landed, without saying a word, Shepard divided all the weapons and ammunition that Francois had spent a lot of money and energy to buy into two parts. He kept all the ones that Shadow Company could use and those that could not be used. All the rifles and bullets were handed over to Osaba, so that he could raise another team of his own.
In addition, it also included the supplies for the mercenaries. Shepard did not like these things and gave them to Osaba. The latter was even more grateful and even took the initiative to drag Shepard to sneak attack the main camp of the mercenaries. land.
"Okay, then let's go and fight with hundreds of you!"
Shepard crossed his legs and said calmly, so Osaba stopped jumping and immediately stood aside obediently waiting for the boss to speak.
"Let your people stay here, they will have food and drink, at least they won't have to die!"
Shepard really disagrees with Uncle Black's combat power, because it is like Schrödinger's cat. Before fighting an army of Uncle Black, you never know whether he will collapse at the first touch or whether he will fight to the death. Letting these guys cause trouble, Shepard had no choice but to let these guys stay here to play with themselves.
He left the combat troops he had brought with him and returned to the factory with three helicopters. He first circled the factory building and then landed the helicopters on the grassland outside.
After getting off the helicopter, Shepard saw Hannibal coming to greet him in a car. The latter thought Shepard was here to force him to attack, and he immediately wanted to explain.
"What's the point of attacking? Defend and trap these bastards to death. Damn it, you're trying to steal business from me!"
In front of his men, Shepard always showed an arrogant attitude as if he had everything under his control. He had people unload the supplies from the helicopter, and then followed Hannibal to the northern highlands.
Although the mercenaries were surrounded at this moment, their morale was not too low. They were just squatting quietly in the factory area, which made Shepard very unhappy.
"It's not enough to let them stay so peacefully. Go, set up big pots on both sides, pour the canned meat and dehydrated vegetables you brought in, and let everyone stew for dinner!"
As the boss, Shepard's despicable plan naturally made the employees below burst into admiration, and they also gave full play to their subjective initiative when executing it, because the company's employees came from different countries, so everyone was stewed There is also a slight difference in the dishes. The Korean employees add their own kimchi to the broth, while the Vietnamese add their own pickled chili sauce, plus the American Kentucky stew. The aroma of food filling the big pot floated over the camp.
And Shepard felt that killing people was not enough, so he put the cauldron to the edge of the high ground and let the aroma float to the factory area below driven by the wind.
The mercenaries in the factory also didn't eat or drink for most of the day. They cleaned the compressed biscuits and the little water. When they lay on the ground and slowly savored the taste of the biscuits, the aroma of the broth wafted over.
So the mercenaries couldn't sit still.
"These Americans are so abominable!"
"Who should let others have the advantage? In my opinion, the opponent is already friendly enough. If we were to be on the mountain, they would have bombarded us with artillery!"
"But I'd rather be bombarded!"
What made the mercenaries even more unbearable was what happened later. After the PMCs of Shadow Company had eaten and drank enough, they poured the leftover soup and water directly down the hillside. Then the opponent's helicopter was even equipped with a stereo. He flew to his head and started playing music.
Shepard even picked up the microphone and gave an impromptu speech. He told the trapped mercenaries below in fluent French that Shadow Company has no conflict with you at all. The reason why everyone is like this is because It's led by those guys who have grabbed most of your interests. When you don't have enough to eat, some people are secretly eating and drinking. Think about what you should do now!
At the end of his speech, Shepard did not forget to emphasize the million-dollar reward he had posted.
As a result, the already low morale in the factory area became more and more uncomfortable. Francois felt that the eyes of his guards had changed. At this moment, he finally couldn't resist the huge pressure, and then nodded towards Eck. nod.
"Tell the Americans, we surrender! We surrender unconditionally!"
Soon Ek returned to the headquarters with a strange expression. He looked at Francois and hesitated to speak.
"Why, the other party refused?"
"That's not true, it's just that they asked us to surrender with the traditional French military salute!"
"Traditional French military salute?"
Francois reacted immediately after hearing this, and then he became so furious that he fainted.
