Because the two sides are still at war, for the hostage exchange, everyone chose a third party that was considered neutral relative to each other, and was not far from both sides, namely Zimbabwe, which is next door to Mozambique.
Neither party informed the Zimbabwean side of the so-called prisoner exchange in a third party at all, because no one wanted to enter through normal means.
Zimbabwe has a vast territory but is sparsely populated. The border with Mozambique is a full 1,300 kilometers, and the army and police add up to less than 20,000 people. They are simply unable to control every inch of the border.
Even because of financial problems, they don't even have a so-called radar. Their airspace is like a bus, and anyone can enter.
Although entering is illegal and is an act of war, if it is not discovered, it means nothing. Therefore, whether it is Shepard or Bale Leka, from this point of view, the two are very similar!
Because Colonel Robert died, there was no need for the Alpha unit to continue to exist. Therefore, Shepard simply sent some of the people by helicopter to a deserted wilderness on the border of Zimbabwe, where they would be responsible for conducting outposts. Exploration, including driving away irrelevant persons and alerting nearby Zimbabwean military movements.
Then, he took a Cessna plane and flew over the border at low altitude. The advance team had already stepped in in advance and confirmed that the Cessna could take off and land, otherwise Shepard would still choose Huey! ..
Before he arrived here, the Soviets also arrived at the target location. A Mi-8 helicopter sent Baleleka and several other men. In addition, there was an unlucky man with his head covered twisting around in the cabin. go.
When they saw the Cessna landing, many Soviet people thought that a fat-bellied American with a hairless head would come down. After all, in the stereotype of many Soviet people, this is what cold-blooded and ruthless capital tycoons look like, and they would also According to different eras, he was equipped with canes, gold teeth and other things. Therefore, when Shepard appeared in a hunter's costume, the Soviets thought this guy was a bodyguard. It was Plomri who had gray hair and wore a light green uniform. It's the boss.
Then, they found out they were wrong!
"Do Americans also pay attention to younger cadres?"
"Maybe it's the second or third generation or something!"
Everyone was whispering while watching their boss come forward with a translator, and then the two sides met.
"A very beautiful uniform, Madam Captain!"
Shepard always came from a woman who thought that her handsomeness could solve all the troubles, but unexpectedly, this female Soviet officer who was nearly 1.8 meters tall did not accept this trick at all, and her balalaika, which exuded the appearance of being kept away from strangers, seemed not to be. Hearing Shepard's compliment, he walked forward and then looked at the translator beside him.
The latter was the company's clerk and a top student at Kazan University. He could obviously find a good position in the cadre team, but who knew why this guy had the brain to come to the paratroopers and successfully passed the training.
The latter immediately coughed and told Shepard.
"Our comrade captain wants to see those relics!"
"certainly!"
Shepard waved his hand, and soon several unarmed PCs came forward and brought over some small items that had been sorted and cleaned. There were some jewelry, photos and other things inside, as well as several other items. A watch with excellent craftsmanship. These are the relics of the fallen airborne soldiers and were collected by the PC. Originally, according to the principle, these things would become the trophies of the PC, but Shepard bought them all at the internal price and sent people to Those that were dirty and damaged were dealt with.
Several pictures that were stained with blood and were somewhat damaged were also repaired and rephotographed, and returned together with the original photos.
Seeing that the things under his command were so valued by the other party, Baleleka's expression immediately improved a lot, and she was willing to chat more with Shepard.
"Are you their commander?"
The translator couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the eldest sister's fluent English. His boss obviously knew how to speak English, but he still asked me to do it. Isn't this bullying an honest person?
But now he can only remain silent
He silently took a step back, and then began to pretend to be empty, as if he didn't exist.
"It's hard to say that I am their leader, but I am not a commander. After all, I am not a professional in the military. But we have very professional commanders and have fought against your Cuban counterparts!"
Baleleca knew that the other party was referring to the civil war in Angola. Shadow Company was also very prominent in the civil war. It served the two forces successively, worked with the CIA, and caused a lot of trouble to the Angolan government forces and the Cuban volunteers.
And now, these mercenaries have caused nearly twenty casualties to her company, of which two-thirds were killed in action alone. The government army was even worse, with at least dozens of officers and hundreds of soldiers. die.
"Then you sound pretty proud!"
"It's impossible to talk about it. We are in this industry. Madam, where there is light, there is darkness. When conventional means cannot solve the problem in many cases, our existence becomes meaningful. I understand your pride, but so do my brothers. Their pride!"
"These are your people!"
Baleleka didn't want to continue chatting with Shepard, so she waved to her men to let him go. Martinez was soon captured by the Soviets for almost two weeks, but Martinez, who looked fatter, was brought over.
"Welcome home!"
Shepard patted the latter's shiny face, and then asked Balalaika if he wanted to pay for an extra meal. After all, it seemed that this guy had been eating and drinking at the other party's place. Shepard suddenly thought A possibility emerged. Could it be that this guy was released because he was so good at eating?
Baleleka shook his head with a strange expression, and then said.
"We can still manage one or two meals, but I suggest you find a doctor to look at this guy. He has to eat five meals a day and drink soda. Our people even have to supervise his exercise!"
"Thanks!"
Shepard looked at Balalaika who was about to leave, suddenly coughed, and then shouted.
"Well, wait a moment, Madam Captain, this is my business card. You and your people are very nice people. If you want to change jobs at any time, you can always consider coming to Shadow Company. This invitation is always valid!"
Looking at the business card that was handed to him, Baleleka did not accept it. Instead, he shook his head and said firmly.
"Thank you, but we are destined to fight for the Soviet Union for the rest of our lives!"
