Shadow Company's first wave of concentrated escorts came to a perfect end. A total of 16 cargo ships from 14 shipping companies were unscathed. In contrast, at the same time, three other cargo ships were involved in accidents in the Gulf of Aden.
The security of two of the cargo ships was very good, and the pirates also chose the wrong time to attack. They chose to attack in the evening. The two sides launched a gun battle for several minutes. After the pirates failed to board the ship many times, they chose to give up, and then Left the sea.
The remaining one that had an accident was the unlucky cargo ship belonging to Egypt. As a country that relies heavily on food imports, the wheat on those cargo ships was very important to Egypt, but unfortunately, the Egyptians had no ability to take it back.
Because food is also a valuable hard currency in Somalia, after returning home with a full load, these pirates sold the wheat directly!
After all, Somalia is a country with a population of six million. Most parts of the country are deserts and dry and cannot grow crops, so there are many people who want this wheat.
After the wheat was sold out, the cargo ship did not escape the disaster. After the pirates plundered everything available, they stranded the cargo ship on the seabed offshore. The cargo ship was severely damaged. Not only was the cabin damaged, but water began to enter. It also capsized because it lost its balance.
A few days later, the freighter lay directly on the seabed, and the overturned freighter quickly became a scene on the seaside. Did the local seaside residents come to rummage for some things or dismantle it? Part of the iron sheet available.
Because of the comparison, shipping companies also chose Shadow Company when they passed through the Gulf of Aden and needed escorts. After all, the latter's performance was really good.
Whether it is the quality of personnel or the scale of equipment, it is far beyond the comparison of those miscellaneous security companies. You must know that when the security personnel of Shadow Company are considering whether to bring P5 submachine guns on board or Car15 submachine guns to perform tasks, many colleagues even Come to work with the famous WWII 3 grease gun.
Although the grease gun is not much different, the crew members being escorted still have a comparison in their hearts!
Just like later generations judge the difference between a boss and a newbie based on whether the equipment of both parties is fancy. A soldier wearing full uniform and holding a rifle full of plug-ins like a Christmas tree may look like a boss, but in fact he may be a newbie, while The kind of character who dresses simply and doesn't even want to hold a mirror in his hand might be a boss.
These days, due to the Cold War confrontation, everyone's inherent impression of so-called advanced weapons is naturally based on their appearance and age.
Just like scissors in 1980, they must be more advanced than those in 1908!
As soon as shipping security was activated, Shadow Company's operations began to fly at a real speed. The wealth of shipping was unimaginable. The supplies carried by a ship could easily cost tens of millions, and in many cases, the ship itself was worth little. Philippines, in addition to insurance and crew expenses. Read the book
Therefore, transportation safety is very important for shipping companies. After all, it is okay if nothing happens when shipping by sea. If something happens, it will be no small matter. Whether it is the goods or the ship, once something goes wrong, the compensation alone will be an astronomical figure. .
Therefore, shipping companies will not be stingy about the security of ships. Shepard has also formulated a fairly reasonable price standard. Floating prices are set based on the size of the ship, the type of cargo, and the company's operating conditions. European countries and the Four Asian Tigers are In the high-priced area, everything is fully booked. If you don’t choose, that’s fine. You can live on your own. Just don’t blame others if something goes wrong!
In places like Latin America, Central America, and Southeast Asia, the fees will be lower depending on the situation!
In addition, Shepard even planned to launch monthly and yearly subscription services, but because the idea was a bit too forward, Parker mercilessly killed him.
After all, this is not a software membership!
And the unexpected joy is that Shadow Company's security business has even created a lot of help for Comoros. Because professional combatants are limited and rotational rest must be taken into consideration, Shepard also invited the Comoros Defense Force. If you go in, you will act as a coolie.
And these defense forces are also happy to earn some extra money. After all, since Shadow Company took over Comoros, they basically have no defense.
It's time to do it. Most of the soldiers have nothing else to do every day except watching the PCs of Shadow Company train. There are even many idle guys who choose to go to Angola to join the war.
As for Shepard, he seems to be sitting in front of a money printing machine now, because whether it is exporting security, selling weapons, or selling force, it is too profitable. Now he wants to buy a new Porsche sports car. You need to think about it for a few seconds, and then it will be enough to buy a steering wheel. If you think about it for a few more days and weeks, it will be enough for a whole car.
And just when Shepard was about to lie down, some old acquaintances came from Commorragh!
"I'm a busy man. Long time no see, Hudson!"
"Yeah, long time no see!"
Hudson, who was wearing sunglasses, looked at the swimming pool in front of him, which was the size of a professional competition area and had its own surfing and water park facilities, and his face immediately darkened.
After all, he is also rolling around in mountains of swords and seas of fire. Why can't he enjoy such a life?
"You must have been thinking why you couldn't enjoy it just now, right?"
"I don't!"
"You must have thought about it, otherwise why would you have changed into swimming trunks?"
"That's because it's too hot here!"
Before Hudson could finish speaking, several CIA agents who followed him jumped out impatiently.
"It's so cool, head, you can come too!"
Seeing his subordinates who were only interested in having fun, veins suddenly appeared on Hudson's forehead.
"We are here to work, not for fun!"
"It's okay, there's not enough work to do. Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's not like the Soviets are coming!"
"how do you know?"
"What?"
"It's about the Soviets!"
Shepard was also shocked when he heard this. He sat up immediately and said with suspicion.
"What, the Soviets are really coming?"
Looking at Shepard who seemed to be ready to run away, Hudson was speechless. How come these people have no confidence in the beacon of democracy? No matter how powerful the Soviets are, they still have to take a boat to get to the United States. However, Thinking about Shepard's identity, Hudson was immediately relieved.
"That's right. When those guys come over, you'll be the first to be shot!"
"So, what is it that you can't handle on your own and you need to rely on our private power to deal with it?"
"Have you ever seen civilian forces with aircraft and cannons?"
"Isn't that what we are?"
