To be honest, if Shepard was from Chad, he would definitely support Gukuni, because Gukuni is not a little bit better than Habré.
This is not to say that Gukuni is a good person, but because Habré’s lower limit is really too low. He is even more heavyweight than Pinochet, and he is on par with those human-like stars in Africa. If I had to describe them in one word, it would be beasts in disguise!
After gaining a foothold with the support of the Americans and relying on the Shadow Company to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, Habré began his expropriation and expropriation even more unscrupulously on his own territory.
His family began to acquire a large amount of fertile land, and they did not purchase it at a fair market price, but forcibly collected it from farmers at an extremely low price, and even used the army to do so.
Just imagine this scene, the well-dressed moths sitting proudly, with a long line of local farmers in front of them, and next to them are the black muzzles of the army's guns and the cold bayonets.
Under the threat of rifles and bayonets, these farmers could only sell the land they depended on for a living to the borers. If they had any dissatisfaction, they would be mercilessly beaten by the army.
Because farmers who lost their land had no means of livelihood, they had no choice but to turn into slaves and rent land to cultivate. The seeds, tools, pesticides, etc. they needed even needed loans to purchase from the landlords who acquired the land. , and the prices are even more heavyweight. A 16a2 rifle produced by KAC costs only US$500, and a shovel costs a full US$50.
Therefore, after exchanging tools, these farmers almost became working machines, because they could not repay those loans throughout their lives.
In addition, Habré also monopolized all aspects of electricity, water conservancy, road administration, mining, industry, etc. As a result, a large number of Chadian companies went bankrupt and were then nationalized by Habré, effectively handing them over to their own people.
Such rampant grabbing of wealth naturally requires all kinds of resistance, but Habré has long established a secret police force to deal with resisters.
And more of the weapons and ammunition purchased from Shadow Company are used in this regard.
Habré's brutality has been notorious since his days at FRELIMO. At that time, his men would torture and kill prisoners and rob civilians. Habré's men even did something that shocked European friends.
They kidnapped a German doctor from Doctors Without Borders, who had been doing voluntary rounds in Africa for many years and was highly respected. However, Habré's men still kidnapped him and demanded ransom, and even killed the doctor in the end.
Habré's actions not only caused outrage among the people, but also many officers in the army couldn't stand it. Even Habré's most confidant officer Idriss Deby felt that it was too much, but he did not dare to persuade Habré because The latter will not be merciful and will even throw those who say good things into prison.
He could only complain a few words in the training camp of Shadow Company, because Habre was busy making money and didn't pay attention to the military training and reorganization here.
Hannibal, who listened to Deby's complaints every day, was also quite interested in this famous battle hero, because his reputation was not low, and he was more peaceful and smooth in dealing with people.
"This person can take your place!"
While having dinner with Shepard, Hannibal put forward his own idea. Although Shadow Company and Habre were on good terms and even continued to reap a lot of benefits, Habre's approach also made Hannibal Nibal was quite worried about the future. He didn't want to be surrounded by angry Chadian people when he woke up. Wouldn't it be better if he changed to a president who maintained the same position but was more benevolent?
Shepard's answer has pros and cons. On the one hand, the more unpopular Habre's rule is, the more he must rely on outsiders like Shadow Company. After all, his army may betray, and his men may betray, but Shadow The company won't.
On the other hand, as Hannibal said, Habre's incident has caused complaints from all walks of life in Chad. When the volcano erupts, the Shadow Company will inevitably be affected.
But Shepard does not agree with overthrowing Habré, at least not now!
Because no matter how scumbag Habré is, he is still Uncle Sam's appointed agent. Likewise, he is also a hero in the people's mouth against Gaddafi, and he has legal advantages.
Although Idriss Deby is good, his actual reputation is still not high enough. Apart from the army, he has little reputation among the people. Moreover, the biggest problem is that Chad is still in a state of division, Gukuni is still trying to make a move in the north, and Gaddafi is still in power. It occupies a large area of land, so Habré cannot fall. If its northern neighbors move south, it will be very difficult to glue the scattered south together!
However, Shepard strongly agrees with Hannibal's view, because in fact, after Habré stepped down due to public complaints, it was Idriss Deby who took his place.
But the current generation is still far from reaching the level of future generations. It is still broken and needs training!
As for Habré's problem, Chad is like a spring now and is far from reaching the point of rebound. Habré continues to be arrogant and there is still room for scratching the ground.
And Shadow Company can take this opportunity to make a little more profit. When the spring is pressed to the bottom and it starts to rebound, it will be too late to rebound again!
At that time, Shepard can justifiably take over the industry that Habreck is searching for. After all, a joint venture is better than a monopoly, and Shadow Company has always done a good job in supporting the company.
The PCs who are responsible for protecting the oil fields will fill the car with cheap canned fruits purchased from Latin America every time they go out, and then throw it to the civilians on the roadside, especially the children. There are also several high-power ice cream machines in the camp, which can Making fruit-flavored ice cream for distribution. In addition, Shepard also took the initiative to contact Doctors Without Borders, gave them a lot of sponsorship and invited them to come to Chad for a free medical tour.
This is done not only to establish a good reputation for Shadow Company, so that when civilians vent their anger, they will only focus on those with hatred. On the other hand, in the future, they may be accused of colluding with Habre and working for women. , Shepard can also produce all kinds of evidence to slap the opponent in the face.
After all, evidence can be faked, but a child's memory cannot be fixed. Shepard doesn't want to be labeled a warmonger in the future. After all, he is really here to maintain peace!
