In less than half a year since Shadow Company arrived in ***, it has successfully made a name for itself in the mercenary industry. This is different from its popularity among warlords in the head of state. The name of the industry often represents Authority and benchmark.
Although most mercenaries mention Shadow Company, they still only mention a small part of it, such as the strange big boss who parades around the base with a beautiful female companion and often gives money to the big-headed soldiers to drink, or the other party's subordinates simply perform combat missions. The neat combatants, or those strange ideas that took away an unknown amount of hard-earned money from the mercenaries.
But there are still a few people who have seen the truth behind these fancy appearances, that is, a behemoth called Shadow is quietly rising. They have sophisticated equipment, excellent combatants, supporting weapons development companies, and good government relations. , the fulcrum of the mercenary industry is being gradually shaken by the changes brought about by this behemoth.
This can be regarded as the cultural export initiated by Shepard. During his time in Japan, he frequently communicated with many mercenary leaders, and most of them had a concept of mercenaries as a simple exchange of money for loyalty. It is commonly said that if you have breasts, you will be a mother. Whoever has money will follow them. This kind of thinking is normal.
But what Shepard wants more is to promote the professionalization of the mercenary, or contractor industry. Whether it is a military contractor or a private contractor, when executing a contract, they should respect the most basic rules of engagement, and the work they must do It’s not just about contacting people, it should cover a variety of industries.
For example, in later generations, animal protection groups will choose to hire military contractors to perform tasks against poaching groups and maintain the safety of wild animals, and farmers will even hire contractors to shoot wild boars that break into their fields for a buffet.
Although the main reason for the above business is the industry downturn caused by the reduction of regional geopolitical conflicts, the current era background is different from that after the millennium. Under the bipolar competition for hegemony, the contractor industry has no worries about being unable to survive, so it should be more important now Starting the arrangement early is like going to the toilet on a train. No matter whether you are in a hurry or not, just occupy the space first. Then, when the time comes, someone else will be the one in a hurry!
However, everyone still disagreed with Shepard's drunken bragging. However, many mercenaries no longer introduced themselves directly and clearly saying what they were as mercenaries, but instead changed to private contractors. That is, p. Although they are not registered at all and have no office location, under Shepard's subtle leadership, these mercenaries have begun to pay attention to the so-called image, and even mercenaries with uniform uniforms and emblems have appeared. Although The so-called uniform is actually sand-colored camouflage. Z.br>
But all in all, Shepard made a good start, and even gave some interesting ideas and insights to an unknown person currently serving in the South African Army.
And most importantly, Shepard used his previous reputation to successfully find a second government client for him!
In 1975, a lot of things happened in this year, but in Africa, one seemingly trivial thing seemed insignificant, and that was the independence of Comoros. This small island country that originally belonged to France has experienced 134 years of After years of colonial rule, it finally got rid of the control of the sovereign state and became an independent country.
After independence, a new government will definitely be established and a new leader will be selected. But as the saying goes, the devil in the temple is strong, and the bastards in Chi Qian are many. Even for a small country with a big fart, when it comes to On political issues, various problems still inevitably arise, for example, some people don't like the boss!
After the independence of Comoros, a big brother named Ahmed Abdullah became the president of this small country, and his subordinate, a guy named Saleh, felt that the other party's presidential position looked quite attractive. He also wanted to sit back and forth, so Saleh wanted to launch a small sneak attack to defeat the opponent.
Comoros is a very small country, with a population of less than 600,000. For such a small country, the military strength is not that strong. After the country becomes independent, the total number of troops in the country is only one company. And the soldiers in this company don't even have one old-fashioned bolt-action rifle, so Saleh doesn't intend to bribe the army to help him!
After conducting market research through industry comparisons and seller evaluations, Saleh discovered Shadow Company, which has performed very well in Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This company is very reliable in terms of scale and combat effectiveness, especially in In terms of combat power, even the Cubans will suffer some losses in their hands!
As a result, Saleh immediately sent Shepard a business contract worth two million!
"Two million?"
Shepard could only click his tongue. The poverty of a small country is indeed relative to that of the common people. The common people are so poor that they have no pants to wear. What does it have to do with these officials if they want to break a dollar in half? Shepard dares to guarantee it. If the bad old man sitting opposite him gave 100,000 yuan to the common people, the latter would definitely carry him to the throne of president with a huge crowd of people, but he definitely couldn't say this!
After all, it’s always the master who takes away the poor guy, so no poor guy has the right to accept the master’s money. If you dare to accept money today, I can’t even think about what you dare to do tomorrow!
"Yes, two million!"
Saleh is actually a bit unreasonable. The young man sitting opposite him looks young, but he already has a killing spirit. Therefore, although he is a customer and is still elderly, in front of Shepard, Instead, he turned into a submissive grandson!
"It's a little short, but it's okay. I'll take this job!"
Shepard nodded. He was actually not unfamiliar with Comoros. If nothing else, the person who took over this business should be a French guy. But now that history has gone wrong, his reputation in Africa has been overshadowed. The other party, so it is actually normal for Saleh to change his partner!
"Let me declare in advance that we are only responsible for the work. We will not be involved in anything that happens after that, and we will not stay. You must pay the full amount first!"
"Of course this is no problem, but when can you do it?"
"As long as the money is available, my people can take action immediately!"
"Then it's settled!"
Saleh immediately stood up excitedly and was about to raise the wine glass in front of him to celebrate with Shepard.
"Then wish us a happy cooperation?"
"Happy cooperation!"
