"Uh, that's the question!"
Shepard thought about it for a few seconds, and then said.
"The final winner will win!"
"Can you be more specific?"
"An Angolan resistance!"
"Be more specific!"
"An African Angolan resistance!"
"Please be more specific!"
"A resistance force in southwestern Africa!"
"Mr. John, you don't need to be so general. This is not a formal meeting, so just express your opinion directly!"
The old man, who was dumbfounded by Shepard's general answer, had to speak again to dispel Shepard's concerns.
"Well, gentlemen, my actual opinion is that the final winner is not these local forces, but us and the Soviet Union! Therefore, the competition between Washington and the Soviets is the most important!"
Then a group of old men laughed, but the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before, because Shepard was right. The United States would not allow a pro-Soviet regime, and the Soviet Union would not allow a pro-American regime to emerge. As for Neutrality, neutrality without strength is a joke. Therefore, Angola's future depends on the two superpowers.
"Then can you briefly tell me about the combat effectiveness of these resistance forces?"
"Well, basically they are light infantry, but they also have long-range weapons such as artillery and rockets, but most of them have not received systematic military training. However, the situation is improving now. Both Romania and the Soviet Union have sent They have military instructors, and with the continuous inflow of a large number of weapons, the combat effectiveness of these armed forces is also slowly increasing. Coupled with guerrilla tactics, they can already make the Portuguese regular army feel troublesome!"
"Guerrilla!"
When the old men heard this word, they immediately began to look embarrassed, as if they had been kicked by Charlie's guerrillas.
"For more detailed information, my deputy will introduce it to you!"
Later, Parker replaced Shepard and introduced more detailed information about each force, including ethnic composition, personnel distribution, regional products, diplomatic relations, etc. These things are her strengths, especially ethnic conflicts and geographical conflicts. She even kept in mind the conflicts that arose over the water source.
After introducing the situation, Helen returned to her seat. When she saw Shepard habitually twirling his fingers under the table because of nervousness, she gently stretched out her hand and held Shepard's. Left hand.
After Shepard was stunned for a second, he gently shook the other person's hand in response.
He was nervous not because of the identities of the people here, but the bad old men who were with Morgan. He knew without guessing that they must be secret service chiefs. He was nervous because he didn't know what operations the CIA was going to launch in Angola, and these Will the action have an impact on Shadow Company? Shepard has invested so much in Angola, so he naturally doesn't want everything to end up being used as a wedding dress for others.
The old men had been deep in thought after Parker introduced the situation. On the other hand, Smith and Morgan were discussing fishing the next day. They even came over and asked Shepard if they wanted to join them.
"Don't worry, I'm here!"
Morgan seemed to see Shepard's concerns and whispered.
"No, I'm just curious as to why the higher-ups are suddenly interested in Angola!"
"Do you remember Perseus?"
Smith said softly.
Then Shepard felt as if his butt was beginning to have phantom pain. In Yala, all their efforts were in vain. He himself was shot in the butt. Wasn't it Perseus who did this?
"Well, I can't forget it!"
"The anti-aircraft missiles that knocked out Portuguese fighter jets two months ago were sent by them!" Chinese website
"But last year, the Portuguese were also shot down by anti-aircraft missiles and defeated by fighter jets!"
"No, Perseus is getting more involved in Angola. In the past, they were just ordinary aid, but now, he
They have a tendency to intervene directly! "
"Involvement directly. Are they going to send regular troops in?"
"It can only be said that there is a trend, because Cuba has already removed a team and is undergoing adaptive training. We estimate that they may be sent to Africa!"
"Mr. John!"
Several people were still whispering, and suddenly the old man at the head interrupted their conversation and said.
"Based on the current situation, where do you think we should start to get involved in Angola?"
"Well, I personally suggest that regular troops should be sent in directly!"
"This is not okay!"
As soon as Shepard said that he would send heavenly soldiers to station, the old men were shocked, as if they had touched a taboo.
"It's impossible to dispatch regular troops, this road won't work!"
"Then we can only support agents. UNITA in the south is a very good choice. Savimbi has the reputation and ability. If we want to fight against the MPLA, he is a very good choice!"
"Uh, there might be something wrong with the agent!"
Shepard frowned, why did the heavenly soldiers become like this? How could they be so timid? So afraid of the Soviet Union, Nixon must have received half a million rubles from Brezhnev! Open his nationality!
"We are currently unable to provide too obvious support, whether it is aid in weapons or personnel training!"
"Then you can consider third parties, such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Africa, especially South Africa. They have a very deep relationship with UNITA. Most of the weapons that UNITA obtains are aided by South Africa!"
Shepard didn't dare to talk about Shadow Company. There were some things he could take the initiative to participate in, but some things he couldn't. Just like this time, the U.S. operation in Angola failed in the end, and all the efforts made were stifled, even promising. The agents were all killed. Shepard was willing to participate in fishing in troubled waters, but if he took the initiative, forget it!
"That's a good suggestion. Thank you, Mr. John! The dinner here is very good. I highly recommend you try it!"
The old man nodded, and Shepard knew that it was time for him to leave. As an outsider, he probably shouldn't hear what was coming next. He and Parker immediately said goodbye and left.
Shepard didn't know what they discussed after he left, but what was certain was that the things they discussed must be good things for him, because the very next day, he himself was taken to another place by Smith's driver. A secret agency without a sign.
Here, he once again met the secretary of the old man's secretary from last night.
The latter made a small suggestion, hoping that Shadow Company could expand the field airport they built before, preferably twice as big!
"Don't worry about cost or design issues, someone will take care of it!"
