This historic defeat of the Afghan guerrillas has become the hottest topic in recent days. From Fort Kabul to Damascus, from Istanbul to Riyadh, almost all Arab countries know that in Afghanistan, the guerrillas were defeated by the Soviets. a devastating blow.
More than a dozen guerrilla leaders were captured alive or executed, thousands of guerrillas were killed or captured, and most importantly, the guerrilla zones established by these guerrillas were also destroyed in every possible way.
Many of the captured Afghan guerrillas were farmers who took up arms and did not have any anti-torture training at all. After being taken to the KGB or the local garrison camp and undergoing a large-scale memory recovery operation, they would immediately vomit a lot of information actively and passively. After excluding a lot of trivial information, the KGB can know a lot of intelligence.
From transportation routes to middlemen, some people even revealed their training location in the Communist Party. The leakage of these things means that the entire line has been dug out by the Soviets, and maybe even The KGB was already sending people to assassinate guerrilla leaders in third countries.
And once these charismatic leaders fall, it will be very difficult for the guerrillas to recruit manpower if they want to expand their strength again!
"So, Mr. Shepard, what do you think we should do now?"
"Well, there is so much to do, Mr. Osama! How about starting with an outline?"
A well-known aviation expert who had begun to support his own forces in Afghanistan immediately invited Shepard, who was in Chad, after learning that some of the followers he gathered had suffered heavy losses because they did not move in time.
The latter has just signed a package of engineering agreements with Europe on behalf of the Chadian military government. Well, Shepard's identity is now more than just a military contractor. The think tank company under Shadow Company also has its first national customer in Chad. .
General Deby signed an employment agreement with the think tank company, and the think tank will provide consulting services for Chad’s post-war reconstruction, including investment promotion.
Although it is consultation in name, it is actually subcontracting. As a head of government with a military background, Deby has a good reputation, but he is really not good at economics and construction.
At this moment, Shadow Company gave him an offer he couldn't refuse.
Shadow Company first contracts engineering projects including infrastructure and telecommunications at low prices, and then uses the name of a think tank to invite external bids, contracting the projects to foreign companies for construction. The foreign companies will receive income from the infrastructure for a certain year, and the bidding fees will be shared between Shadow Company and The military government of Chad divided the country into 30:70.
This can be regarded as the better condition that the Chadian military government can choose at present. It is not that Deby has never thought about supporting domestic enterprises, but thanks to Habré, he vigorously operated his own enterprises during his administration and merged with Chad's own enterprises. , causing Chad's private economy to be in a mess, it was difficult for Deby to support the private sector, but Shepard did help him in this regard.
Those foreign-funded enterprises that contract projects must work in the name of local joint ventures, and the workers they employ must also include a certain number of local people.
Of course, those foreign investors cannot be called just because they want to be called. The main reason why many foreign investors come to Chad to invest is because they also have shares or positions in the think tanks of Shadow Company.
The target of the think tank established by Shepard is very clear. It does not necessarily need to be experts and scholars with a long-term vision, but it must be big bosses with connections and power.
They work in the think tank department of Shadow Company, and usually receive a low salary, and they can do whatever they want at work, even if they don't go to the office in the Florida beachside estate, because their real job is not decision making.
The job of these big guys is to rely on their own connections to attract investment, just like in Chad. For example, Morgan, who has not retired yet, has already established himself as a think tank at Shadow Company, which is also the kind of community where volunteers serve. At work, Shepard would usually add a small amount of coffee money to the other party's account.
But when the Chadian government began to absorb foreign capital on a large scale, Morgan's own private construction company contracted the Chadian government's road construction projects. They would exchange billions of funds for the number of roads.
Ten years of operation, and the right to use the land on both sides of the highway, which also means that if mineral deposits, oil, etc. are found on those lands, the operating rights also belong to the construction company.
After the funds used by the construction company to bid are divided between the Chadian government and Shadow Company, part of it will return to Morgan's hands, which will be regarded as the labor fee for his consultant.
The Shadow Company can not only take money from the Chadian government, but also from bidding companies, which is also a big win. As for the Chadian government, although selling land, water conservancy, etc. is suspected of being traitorous, in Africa, especially these Because of the war, a small country that is unable to complete its own modernization process has no choice but to do this if it wants to develop!
Not to mention, in order to reap the benefits of two more years, Shepard chose a very sustainable development path to ensure that a group of people in Chad can also enjoy the dividends and let them get rich first, so that they can help them. These outsiders attract a lot of firepower.
Of course, not all so-called think tank companies are filled with such big bosses. Shepard has still recruited a considerable number of young talents, including religious and sociological experts, as well as scholars of economics and agriculture, as well as former military personnel. They will receive a decent salary, and their job is the so-called auxiliary assistance that Shepard is going to recommend to the latter.
Shepard is going to persuade Mr. Osama to integrate the Afghan militia and guerrilla forces he supports. It is best to come up with a so-called action plan. This thing is equivalent to the core structure of an organization. If you want to make your organization From the irregular to the regular, that is, the transformation of the Tubal guerrillas into the main regular army, a program is indispensable!
And Shepard's think tank will not work behind closed doors and deliberately follow stereotypes like most Western scholars and experts. His think tank will focus on local people and help local people complete the implementation and formulation of such a so-called program.
In other words, to create an organizational action model with Afghan characteristics, the think tanks will not participate in any program decision-making, but only provide a framework model and content that will be filled in by the local people themselves!
"I think you can try our think tank solution first!"
