The Shadow Company's camp in N'Djamena is not in the city, but in an old factory outside the city. This is a cotton factory established during the French colonial period. It also served in the anti-fascist war. Free French military uniforms Many are produced here.
It's just that after independence, the factories here were finished. The workers were still the same, but the management was changed. So the factories closed down and the machines were sold off. Now after so many years of civil war, the factories don't even have walls anymore.
After Plomri arrived in advance with his people, he urgently purchased ten kilometers of barbed wire from Europe to isolate the factory.
Then, he also asked a transport plane to deliver more than a hundred sets of explosion-proof wall modules, so that the factory camp would have a gate.
As for the accommodation of personnel, it is in tents, because there is nothing left in the factory building, not even the bricks on the wall are moved.
But here, it doesn’t matter if the living environment is bad, the most important thing is the poor security situation.
The PC knew how complex Chad's internal social environment is before coming here. There are two hundred ethnic groups here. To put it bluntly, the Balkans are considered simple compared with here. Read the book
During the French colonial period, ethnic conflicts were extremely acute. Those with more people bullied those with fewer people, and those with bigger fists oppressed those with smaller fists. During the French colonial period, conflicts were suppressed for a time because French gentlemen came here to make money. They are not collecting corpses, but once France leaves and the country's independence war begins, all ethnic groups will naturally start to take revenge or gain advantage.
Especially now, Chad has gone through six rounds of civil war. It can be said that it is truly hiding its troops from the people. Each tribe has its own guys, and no one will obey anyone. Even if it is a nominal national leader, it can only be regarded as a big one. Tribal leaders, political decrees, and even whether N'Djamena can be issued are all issues.
Although tribal conflicts will try to avoid offending these Americans who are not easy to mess with, N'Djamena is so big, so it is not surprising that when everyone is sleeping soundly, there are all kinds of gunshots, and even some Sometimes stray bullets would fall into the camp.
As for the source of supplies for the camp, it can only be said that the CIA has taken it for granted. Food is transported by transport aircraft from Europe, which at least ensures that the camp has meat and vegetables. The power generation relies entirely on generators. For this purpose, the camp is equipped with two high-power diesel generators. However, diesel cannot be obtained directly. Although the United States took over the rich oil resources discovered by the French in Chad, the crude oil extracted cannot be used directly and must be sent to other processing plants. Originally, There is a processing factory in Jamena, but when Habré's army fought back to N'Djamena, the defenders almost destroyed the factory and everything else in the battle.
Fortunately, the factory reconstruction has been put on the agenda. In less than half a year, Shadow Company should be able to use locally produced diesel!
This is true outside the city, let alone inside the city. N'Djamena will have a bloody liquidation every time it changes its owner. Just when Habré entered the city not long ago, his army killed enough people that day. Thousands of people.
Since then, riots have continued in and around the city. Armed forces from various factions fight whenever they disagree. There are even scenes of armed personnel from multiple factions patrolling the city at the same time.
In addition to the numerous armed factions, N'Djamena also features a large number of concentration camps and prisons. Because the first thing Habré did after taking over N'Djamena was to establish a secret police force dedicated to arresting Opposition.
For this reason, the PCs of Shadow Company also gave Chad a new name based on the Japanese anime War Zone 88 of the same period, called War Zone 84!
After Plumli returned to the camp, he couldn't help but find Shepard and raised his concerns.
Because according to his observation, Habre is not like a wise master. He may be overthrown one day. Shepard's business is a bit risky!
"Very good, you have your objections, so that our group can develop healthily!"
Shepard was very satisfied. Although he also needed subordinates who could carry out orders meticulously, he also needed people who could carry out orders and think. As an old man he brought, Plumli had such doubts. What about other people? Not to mention.
"Then let's go to sleep now and call all the officers!"
Soon Shepard's tent was filled with half-naked strong men wearing big underpants. Some of them were wearing nightcaps, and some were holding dolls given by their daughters. After taking a bath, Shepard was wearing a A very North African style Arabian nightgown.
"Although this meeting is supposed to be held tomorrow, I think it's unfair that you guys are sleeping so soundly since I haven't slept yet, so let's hold it tonight!"
Before Shepard finished speaking, he was drowned out by a crowd of boos. His commanders also knew that the boss was really not a human being when he acted like a dog, so they all raised their middle fingers.
"But even if you scold me, the meeting that should be held still needs to be held!"
Shepard first elaborated on the Shadow Company's business and its relations with the locals, and finally talked about the Habré regime.
"I know some of you look down on Habré, and so do I, but this guy is Uncle Sam's chosen spokesperson, so his position seems shaky, but in fact, before Uncle Sam nods, others are sitting You can’t go up, so everyone can rest assured about this!”
"What about the government troops?"
"Ignore it if you can. Our abilities are limited and we can't help much. Everyone, we are military contractors. Therefore, we must have the professionalism of a contractor and know what we should and shouldn't do. I think you know very well that sometimes, your The behavior does not only represent an individual, but our entire company!"
After Shepard finished speaking, his words changed again.
"Of course, if someone really can't stand it, you can take action, but you'll have to deal with any subsequent troubles yourself. If you want the company to handle it, be prepared to take out the coffin book for me!"
Shepard's words can be regarded as setting a baseline. After all, the PCs still have some conscience, or in other words, some local things cannot be accepted by them who think they have no conscience. In this way, they will have more considerations before handling local affairs.
"And don't feel bad about yourself, I have to go see Habré tomorrow, and it will be much more uncomfortable than you!"
"Then have you prepared a gift for that guy?"
"I'm ready, but it cost me a lot of money!"
Shepard said as he took out a 9mm P5 gold-plated wooden stock submachine gun produced under the authorization of Knight Ordnance from the box.
This is the gift he brought to Habré!
