"Welcome home, Mr. McNamara!"
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
The first thing Shepard did when he returned to Angola was to greet the unlucky intelligence officer who was brought back by his own people. It wasn't that this guy was famous or that he had outstanding abilities. In fact, the intelligence officer was only one meter tall. Sixth, he is already bald just after turning 30. He graduated from Pheasant University. The reason why he can occupy a middle-level position in the CIA is mainly because this guy has a good uncle. Z.br>
Robert McNamara, the former US Secretary of Defense and current President of the World Bank, is his good uncle, and he himself has a good relationship with his good uncle, otherwise he would not be sitting in the position of chief intelligence officer of the Department of African Affairs, and he is The first time such a big problem occurred in Angola was because this guy wanted to gain some political capital so that he could follow the example of his uncle, the former defense minister.
Therefore, although this guy has a lot of scandals and likes to do stupid things, based on this relationship, Shepard still greeted him very cordially, and the latter also showed his true feelings after returning to the airport, crying and grabbing Shepard. The hand began to regret.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have come to Africa. If I hadn't come to Africa, I wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing..."
"Mr. McNamara..."
"Just call me Yodel!"
"Mr. Yoder, it's over. Now you are extremely safe. There are thousands of our people here. No one can hurt you anymore!"
Shepard looked at the dirty stains on his sleeves and could only sigh helplessly. Parker bought this suit for him and only wore it once. It seemed that he had to throw it away, but before throwing it away, he had to let it be used. If you work overtime once, you must at least leave a deep impression on this second-rate intelligence officer.
"Thank you so much this time. America will never forget your contribution, Mr. John Shepard!"
"What you said is a bit harsh. As a defense military contractor, we should serve the country. People like you, the pillars of the country who are on the front line of the intelligence battlefield, are the role models we should follow!"
"Oh, let's not talk anymore, it's all for the country!"
Shepard was one version ahead no matter what, so he could naturally see the meaning of the other person's subtle movements. When Shepard praised him for his good work in the intelligence department, the guy subconsciously narrowed his eyes. He rolled his eyes, and the unhappiness on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant. This shows that this guy likes to be praised for his work. Such a good entry point, Shepard will naturally not let it go, and he commented smoothly After looking at the intelligence agencies of various countries, he first severely belittled the intelligence personnel of the allied countries, and then praised the Soviet intelligence agencies. Then, he changed the tone and expressed.
"The only ones who can fight the Soviet Union today are CIA agents like you!"
And this method of praising the enemy under the guise of actually elevating the opponent is very useful for the opponent. Just a short distance of more than 100 meters from the airport to the jeep, Shepard was regarded by Yoder as a man who understood him. After all, he was often marginalized in the CIA because of his own problems, otherwise he would not have gone to the Department of African Affairs.
And when Yoder still wanted to have a good chat with the other party, Shepard came up with another trick to retreat in order to advance. After he praised the other party, he simply began to criticize himself.
"Oh, it's all my fault. You must be tired when you come back from the front line. As a result, I'm still here delaying your rest. I'm very sorry. I won't disturb you anymore. You have a good rest!"
This move caught the latter a little off guard. The conversation he had just opened was shut down, which immediately made Yoder feel aggrieved and uncomfortable. However, since the other party was so considerate of himself, Yodel could only leave something for Shepard first. The phone number indicates that we will contact you frequently in the future.
"Does this guy really think of himself as a talent?"
After the jeep that picked him up left the airport, Shepard put away the smile on his face, then took off his suit and returned to the airport tarmac. Hannibal and all the people who had withdrawn were waiting here quietly. Among them were the remains of the two pilots that had been put into body bags.
"You have worked hard, now you can have a good rest!"
Shepard gently took the identity tags of the two people, and then silently saluted the body bag.
He gave a salute, and everyone behind him also raised their right arms to express their respect and gratitude to the fallen comrades.
After a brief farewell ceremony, the two remains were transported away and prepared to be transferred back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and sent back to the country on the Air Force 141 transport plane. This was Shepard's promise to everyone. If anyone was killed in action, the remains would be sent back. , this is not for show, but the responsibility that a leader should have.
"This is such a tragic way to die. I would rather give myself a shot in the head!"
"Then I would rather die in the arms of a girl!"
Shepard patted Hannibal on the shoulder and comforted him.
"This is not your responsibility, so there is no need to blame yourself!"
"No, since I became the commander, this has become my responsibility. Everyone, their life and death, is in my hands. But it's okay. I've lost more comrades than just these. I'm used to it!"
"That's good. After all, the entire company is still waiting for your command!"
"Stop talking about this, you didn't bring us anything good when you came back?"
"I brought a lot, there must be something you like among them!"
Shepard enthusiastically introduced to the other party the samples of blast walls and anti-material rifles he had brought. These are all things that Shadow Company can currently use in Angola, especially the blast walls, which are in the base camp of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Here, the first 500 sets of blast-proof walls that arrived were being used, and there were more on the way. Shepard was determined to use this civil war to open up a market for blast-proof walls, and for this, Shadow was indispensable. company help.
"I'm going to let our stronghold build those blast-proof walls first, and then call the guy just now or other senior officials to come and take a look. If everything goes well, the orders we will receive in the future will be in the millions!"
"When you put it like that, it feels like we really made a fortune from war!"
"Isn't it right? Whether it's mercenaries or military contractors, we are all hyenas on the battlefield, relying on all available resource channels to strengthen and develop ourselves!"
"Yes, you used this metaphor well. The hyena is quite vivid! But from the looks of it, this battle won't end in a year or so!"
"Don't think about it. It's possible for a year and a half, ten or twenty years, but for us, shouldn't the longer we fight, the better?"
