Castei really didn't expect that Shepard would be so easy to talk to. After all, in a way, France took away a huge piece of the most delicious cake without any effort. It had to be that kind of thing. The portion with too much fruit and cream was scratched away, and they didn't contribute any help at all when making the cake.
There is a reason why Shepard is so easy to talk to. When he contacted Parker before, they had an exchange on the issue of the French. Parker, who had a background in international relations, told Shepard bluntly that he wanted to It is completely impossible to kick the French out.
What's more, the construction of Comoros will definitely not be possible just by relying on the Shadow Company and the Comoros government. The wealth Shepard has accumulated through so many years of plundering, burning, killing, and looting is enough for him to lead his brothers to live a prosperous life for a lifetime. , but it is not enough to support the development of a country!
What's more, when he was the only one with nothing to lose, if he wanted to get Shepard to pay, he would either have to be big-hearted and brainless, or he would have to be a blockbuster. After all, the former is a normal physiological need, and the latter is a man's long-standing desire for big things. The pursuit of power.
Comoros doesn't touch either, so it's definitely out of the question.
But here comes the problem. If you don’t develop, you can’t make money. But development requires upfront investment, whether it’s funds, equipment, resources, or technical personnel. These cannot be solved with just money. So, you must have a The villain shows up to pay for Shepard and Commorragh.
Looking at the whole world, although there are not many people who can do this, there are still dozens of people in total.
If Shepard is a pioneer who is dedicated to serving the people, then he will definitely find the big brother of the Soviet Union to be his scapegoat. After all, it is now the time when Su Xunzong, Brezhnev, is throwing money around and recruiting followers. There is no need for anything else. Say, Shepard sang "My Sun" to Brezhnev in the central square of Comoros, then help will definitely come pouring in. After all, these days, the boss doesn't care what you are when you recruit a junior, as long as you are If you follow the boss, then the boss will cover all your food and clothing expenses!
But Shepard is destined to have no chance with the Red Army in this life. Even if he does, he will just be hung on a street lamp, or sent to the sky by the guerrillas with a roadside bomb. Therefore, if he wants Comoros to embrace the Soviet Union and catch up with the development trend, that is It’s impossible.
As the other big brother corresponding to the Soviet Union, the United States can hug its thighs, but there is still a question, what happens after the United States hugs its thighs?
Shepard is an old Star-Spangled Banner in his life. His ancestors followed the British masters to suppress the American people, and Shadow Company is an American private military contractor. It is not difficult to attract investment from the American consortium, but the problem lies in the future. In terms of control, if there is a conflict in the distribution of benefits, will the master above help the well-established American consortium, or the contractor with a shallow foundation?
Therefore, all Shepard can do is choose the third option, the French!
The French have rich colonial experience and shit-stirring experience in Africa!
Just like fishing in a river, only by muddying the water can you catch the big fish. If the situation in the Comoros is clear and everyone can see what you are doing, then trying to make money is pure suicide.
But if you bring the French in, it will be different. Although they are both considered to be in the Western camp, France has not dealt with the United States very much since the war with Charles de Gaulle. Both sides are in different beds and have their own agendas. If you bring the French in, it will be tantamount to In a three-way fight, Shepard can join forces with Comoros to take the French money, or he can join forces with the French to scrape Comoros' territory.
As for the French and Comoros joining forces, he is already here now, which is equivalent to inserting a nail into the French-controlled area of Africa. It is an act of putting eye drops on the French, so the master above will naturally I will help a little bit, after all, the French are foreigners.
What's more, even if the worst happens, Shepard still has a backup plan. He has never tried to overturn a table in his life!
And in addition to the French, Shepard can also get online from South Africa, the United Kingdom, and even Japan. The spices in Comoros are delicious, and the men of the Showa era also need seasonings when eating. After all, this is This was also the early stage of Japan's economic take-off. The men of the Showa era who had money would naturally throw coins everywhere to show the so-called rise of a great power.
so,
Instead of passively waiting for the French to squeeze in, it is better to take the initiative to open the door and invite them. In this way, Shadow Company can still take the initiative in subsequent negotiations, such as jumping out and shouting when there is a problem in the negotiation.
"We took the initiative to invite you in the first place, but you are so insincere. Why don't we go talk to the British!"
As long as you say this then, the other party will definitely roll their eyes!
In the same way, you can do the same thing when talking to others, just replace Britain with France! Even the British can jump up in a hurry!
"Mr. Castei, Shadow Company is just an ordinary contractor company. We have no political leanings, so we very much welcome all friends, especially those who have in-depth cooperation with us. For this reason, we will give our friends some discounts. The conditions are nothing!" Kan Shula
Facing Castei's question, Shepard explained calmly.
But to Castei, it means something else.
We are just grassroots, and our ability to take root here depends entirely on our overt and covert tactics. But we will not overturn the agreement between you and Abdullah. On the contrary, the more kickbacks you give, we may be able to win from Abdullah. I'll get you some more concessions there!
As a senior member of the intelligence agency, De Castei does not need to come in person when it comes to Comoros. It is the same with sending a middle-level leader. But this time he is not only coming as a representative of the French government, but also as a representative of people with his surname. represent.
The family behind him has made achievements in many industries such as finance and overseas trade. The banking industry of Comoros was brought to their plate early. In addition, there are also agriculture, shipping and so on.
Why did Saleh step down? Is it really just because he was a tyrant? To put it bluntly, he refused French capital to enter the Comoros and refused the French navy to be stationed in the Comoros. This was the real reason for his overthrow.
Big countries don't care whether you are a tyrant or what kind of person you are. As long as you are obedient, even a pig can sit firmly in this position. But if you are disobedient, even if you are a selfless saint, you will not escape misfortune!
For example, Sankara, who has not yet shown his prominence in Upper Volta, and the famous African tyrant Amin. One hopes to drive the progress and development of the country, while the other only wants to eat heart and blood. The endings of the two are completely opposite. Sankara was poisoned by his trusted comrades, while Amin reached the end of his life in the hospital.
