Because the action in Mozambique was entirely voluntary by non-governmental organizations, Shepard did not send all his men there with any fanfare. Now the Shadow Company has a big business. In addition to its business in Angola, South Africa and Comoros, it also has many other related businesses. training business, a considerable part of which is training on the use of weapons.
For example, it helps the Colombian army train how to use 16 rifles. The latter is ambitiously building a new army to eliminate drugs that endanger the country. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is no clear understanding between the president and the drug lords. So, just listen to this!
The above-mentioned businesses have taken away half of Shepard's veterans and recruits. Therefore, he sent less than a hundred people to Mozambique. As for the size, it was the alpha team and a sniper team to strengthen the past.
As the old foundation of Shadow Company, the alpha unit has always appeared as the powerful ace of Shadow Company. Although it has been experiencing constant attrition, Shepard has also been constantly adding new blood to it.
Although there is no complete concept of the corresponding deployment area at the moment, Shepard still distributes different types of combatants together as much as possible. For example, almost all members of the alpha unit have received jungle combat training and survival training. In addition, The Bravo detachment is artillery specialist and field specialist.
Shepard is prepared to wait a few years until Shadow Company completes its globalization, and then start zoning. On the one hand, this can reduce unnecessary losses. On the other hand, it is also beneficial to task execution, because the same region should be selected as much as possible. As for race, there is no need to consider language and map identification issues. The local monks are good at chanting sutras!
After being deployed to Mozambique, the alpha team was not in a hurry to explore the complex terrain north of the junction zone that stretched for dozens of kilometers and consisted of overlapping rainforests, river valleys, and hills. The team leader, as a veteran of the South Vietnamese SOG team, knew What should be done in the rainforest operation? He is waiting for various drugs and injections to deal with emergency situations, as well as the corresponding clothing to be in place.
Soon, the pharmaceutical water purification tablets and special protective clothing purchased from Germany and the United Kingdom were flown to South Africa, and then delivered to Captain Li on the small Cessna cargo plane in Shepard's hand.
Then the latter started to act.
As the birthplace of mankind, Africa contains unimaginable treasures. Various minerals, petroleum, animals and plants have brought countless surprises to the world. Although these resources are somewhat difficult to exploit for various reasons, they cannot resist people's greed.
For example, this large plain in southern Mozambique, although it is a plain, has a very complex landform, with deserts, grasslands, and rainforests all present, and correspondingly, the resources are quite rich.
The few gold mines in river valleys and deserts formerly controlled by CIA companies alone provided them with nearly six million a year in revenue.
Although this money is a drop in the bucket compared to the various erratic tasks or expensive research projects carried out by the CIA, it is at least an income. Otherwise, why would Adler come to Shepard in such a hurry after his income was cut off.
Their action team was constantly engaged in vandalism, burning, looting, and the funds allocated above were not even enough for the bullets they usually fired. They couldn't compete with their KGB counterparts if they didn't find ways to open up money!
However, Captain Li did not follow the guerrillas' expectations and launched a counterattack simply and neatly, sweeping away the government observation posts with the force of autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. After going deep into Mozambique, his first arrangement was to find local collaborators.
"We must have reliable guides and insiders!"
Captain Li simply looked down on the guerrillas who were full of pictures. These people were not good at fighting, but they were good at grabbing food. Previously, five men had sent out five people to beat up the people in a village and robbed thirteen bags of thick noodles. and a brilliant record of more than one hundred kilograms of air-dried meat.
This operation almost made Captain Li angry, because this kind of pig teammate will really do bad things at critical moments!
That's why he urgently wants to have his own intelligence channels, which is also an indispensable part of special operations.
And there are indeed collaborators. Although they have chosen the route leading here, the level of education in Mozambique is not enough for the people to have a high ideological consciousness.
After all, both the Soviet Union and the United States have many young people who have defected to each other, not to mention a country like Mozambique where most people have no concept of the word "ism". It can also be said that they will follow whoever has the gun!
And now, Captain Lee's alpha unit not only has guns, but also money!
As the official currency, the Mozambican metical has maintained its value. Especially during this period, Mozambique was carrying out vigorous construction, various investments, and various trades, making the entire country seem to be prosperous.
Therefore, by spreading money, Captain Li found a pretty good old man from the local hunter. The latter was about sixty years old, had gone to school during the colonial period, and was even recruited to serve in the colonial army for a long time. Because of his injuries, he developed a drinking problem.
But the income from hunting was not enough for him to satisfy his appetite, so he naturally accepted Captain Li's banknotes and the fine French wine provided by the latter.
"Although I don't have a good impression of you white people, you are much better than the Portuguese!"
Looking at the drink in his hand, the old man grinned with a big smile, and started blowing it with his mouth without politeness. After taking a satisfied sip, he picked up the dried rabbit meat and stuffed it into his mouth. It was obvious that he had already Entered into a state of enjoyment.
Captain Li stopped disturbing the other party. After leaving the agreed place, he said goodbye and left. The latter lived in isolation, relying on himself and his shotgun, so Captain Li did not have to worry about being exposed.
As for his choice, his subordinates are quite critical. After all, they have always held themselves to high standards. This kind of drunken weird old man seems really unreliable. Who knows if he will betray them for some reason!
Captain Li has the opposite view on this. The latter seems confused, but his conversation is not like that of a bad old man. He clearly understands the international situation and the identity of Captain Li. Most importantly, this guy has a deep understanding of the current Mozambique government. Not a good impression.
This is the most important!
The deputy still didn't believe it, so the captain made a bet with the other party to see whether the old man would show up the next day.
The next day, when the reconnaissance team arrived at the destination, they saw an old man dressed as a hunter impatiently making morning tea with an old-fashioned shotgun in his hand.
