Third-rate contractors sell force, second-rate contractors sell weapons, and first-rate contractors sell war. Under Shepard's management over the years, Shadow Company has initially achieved his vision.
However, there is still a long way to go. After all, compared with the end of the Cold War, during the Cold War, due to the suppression of the United States and the Soviet Union, there were not as many wars as in later generations. Therefore, the spring for contractors is far from coming.
However, with pioneers like Shepard, contractors appeared like mushrooms after a rain, and there were many more contractors than in the previous life.
The Afghan battlefield has become a new blue ocean for these contractors!
Osama followed Shepard's advice and began to systematically integrate the followers he funded, and began to hire a large number of mercenaries and Western military volunteers to participate in his anti-Soviet cause.
In fact, these jobs and businesses are acceptable to Shadow Company, but Shepard, who knows what kind of person Osama is, gave up his plan to continue to cooperate with the other party in depth, and instead chose to muddy the water, so that if anything happens in the future, it will not happen. No need for Shadow Company to take the blame.
However, Osama did not notice Shepard's alienation, or he did not notice it at all. Shepard's words opened up a new world for him. He had never thought of such a distant thing in the past.
After all, establishing an organizational structure and transforming it into a regular resistance force is still too far away for Osama. He is still just a young and promising real estate businessman with an unknown worth of hundreds of millions.
But after listening to Shepard's advice, Osama decisively gave up his good life and really went to hell.
There, he brought many good things to the militiamen he had been supporting, including purchased canned fruits, as well as currencies such as US dollars and rubles.
The reason why it is a ruble dollar is because the local currency of afghani can be used as waste paper to wipe the butt. In addition, the Soviets have also imposed many restrictions on materials in order to control the rebels. The goods on the market are not only scarce but also extremely expensive. , can only be purchased on the black market.
The black market only accepts rubles or US dollars. Pounds and **** rupees are not impossible, but don't even think about afghani!
In addition to material condolences, Osama also directly announced that he would provide pensions to the militiamen who died in the guerrillas in accordance with the recommendations of the think tank. Every year, he would give his family a pension that is absolutely expensive for Afghans. This amount The money will be distributed until the first child of the family reaches adulthood.
This move stunned many guerrilla leaders. After they reacted, these guys immediately surrounded Osama with great piety and began to call Allahu Akbar!
Pension security is Osama's first step. If he wants to integrate all the followers and militias he can take care of, he must come up with something that convinces these people.
Although the religious direction can achieve the same effect, slogans cannot be eaten as food. The guerrillas also have family and friends, which relieves them of worries, so that they can fight better.
Pension security is only the first step. The guerrillas still need to be reorganized and have a clear division of labor. After all, the quality of the guerrillas varies. You can see a 58-year-old man who is still carrying an AK and charging into battle, and you can also see a dozen or so soldiers like Ali. young people.
Although the combination of old and young looks very good, the Soviets' bullets cannot manage whether they are old or young. If they hit them, everyone will die.
Therefore, eliminating those old people and children is an essential step. However, this does not mean to drive them out of the team, but to divide tasks. After all, some old people have spent their entire lives in the mountains of Afghanistan! Without them, the team would be unable to move forward.
And those young people, especially those in their teens, have to stay in **** training classes. Many of them have had educational experience, so they should continue to learn, and this is also the case. For the future.
What Shepard didn't expect was that this matter also attracted Morgan's attention. For this reason, he also asked Shepard to send some younger children to the United States to receive relevant education and training there!
After all, we are all good friends here, so
There is no problem in accepting some American values! In this way, when the Soviets retreat in the future, maybe those young people who have received American education can make a difference in the post-war country!
Thanks to the assistance of mercenaries and think tank teams, Osama's integration process went smoothly, and he also had time to discuss with the local Afghan sects to determine the program structure.
Because Afghanistan is currently facing an invasion by the Soviets, the first program established by Osama is to unite the Japanese world to expel the Soviet Union, defeat the invasion, strive for independence, and defend Japanese civilization.
After such a start, the subsequent compilation of the program structure became smoother. Soon Osama wrote more outlines on politics, culture, religious activities, etc., and the outlines were also copied by think tanks. , passed to Shepard and the CIA.
Perhaps because the current economic and national issues are not as complex as they were after the end of the Cold War, Osama's first version of the outline did not have any extreme expressions, but instead contained many secular concepts. Therefore, from the CIA's perspective, this is also A very good thing, because this can greatly strengthen the combat effectiveness of the resistance and help them better fight against the Soviet Union.
As a result, Osama's plan was further promoted, and the CIA even teamed up with the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency to help Osama continue to integrate more resistance forces and militia factions.
Later, Osama also named his new, yet-to-be-formed organization, the Religious Students, and its alias was ***.
Shepard also didn’t expect that he could become a small part of the founder of this thing, but it’s okay to think about it. After all, in the previous life, the establishment of this organization also required the positive and negative help of Americans. Besides, , do Europe and the United States still rarely do this kind of thing to raise bandits to respect themselves?
Before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States, it was the largest importer of scrap steel and crude oil in the United States. The thirteen colonies in North America established by the British turned against the foreigners and became their father. The French supported the opposition in Africa, which resulted in the extremist armed forces. elements, not to mention Israel, which has been fighting in the Middle East for decades. The Palestinian resistance forces they want to wipe out are the ones they originally supported to deal with the Palestinian regime.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Shepard supporting future public enemies. Otherwise, if there are no enemies, where will the military spending be spent?
