Chapter 18 What is the conscience of the world of capital?
Because of the tight time and heavy tasks, Shepard directly asked Plomri to shake people, the old man has fought for 30 years, and his footprints are all over Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe, not to mention his comrades-in-arms, the enemy must have a reinforced regiment!
And Shepard, when his injury was almost healed, he went through the discharge procedures and went to the Ministry of Defense office again.
Before going to the office, he made a special inquiry about the official in charge of signing, and after learning about the evaluation of Colonel Robert's average family background and mediocre ability, he immediately made some targeted preparations.
Then, Shepard, dressed in a crisp suit, walked into the other party's office with his head held high.
"You're the head of the Shadow Company?"
When the Colonel saw the to-do list handed over by the secretary and looked at Shepard's age, he was stunned for a few seconds, but then he returned to normal and communicated with Shepard in a formulaic tone.
"Yes, Mr. Colonel!"
"Okay, although I don't know how the Shadow Company got this contracted project, but since it has been decided that it is you, then I don't have any requirements, you can just report the project list to me as soon as possible!"
"We've got the project list ready, we'll bring it over today, you can take a look!"
Without saying a word, Shepard handed over a fact sheet involving personnel, assets, and equipment.
"Uh, a team of two hundred? Trucks and helicopters? ”
The colonel was stunned again when he saw the number on it, and then his tone became stern.
"Mr. Shepard, you must know that the army has always been very strict with data, is your figure a bit exaggerated?"
"This is not an exaggeration, Mr. Colonel, you are also from the military, so you naturally understand that quantity is combat effectiveness, especially if you want to go to Africa to protect American assets, there are more people, you can better serve the United States, isn't it?"
"Don't kid me, Mr. John Shepard, I am a military man and have served my country for more than thirty years......"
"Mr. Colonel, why don't we pause for a moment and talk about something else?"
"What do you want to say?"
"That's right, I heard from a friend, you are an expert in collecting watches, a few days ago, I got a watch from Yara that is not very valuable, I thought, why don't you please help me identify it?"
After the colonel heard this, he immediately slapped the table angrily, Lao Tzu has been sitting in the office here for thirty years, and no one dares to .........
"Guards ......"
When he saw the gold watch that Shepard took out and the diamonds set on the dial, the colonel's breath was stagnant......
"You're committing a crime!"
The colonel gritted his teeth, but didn't call any more guards, but just glared at Shepard.
"What kind of crime is this, I just want you to help me identify it, this watch is not valuable, these are glass and gold dust!"
"Just an appraisal?"
"Yes, I'll take it after the appraisal! Also, I heard that the lady was a necklace expert and had a glass necklace......"
The Colonel's chest heaved for a few seconds before calming down.
"Really worthless?"
"It's not worth it!"
"Alright, let's talk about the size of the staff!"
The colonel's face was like that of a dyeing shop, and after a long time of uncertain turning, he returned to his usual appearance, but he casually took out half a bottle of brandy from the cabinet and poured half a cup for each of them, which explained the attitude of the other.
"If it's in Africa, the size of 200 people is understandable! In that case, the weapons allocated to you will not be enough, and I will give you three times as much! ”
"You are truly the savior of the African people!"
"Each other, each other!"
The Colonel was writing and drawing on the paper as he looked at the table on the table, and Shepard understood.
"Colonel, this thing will affect your office too much, why don't you put it in the table?"
"Alright then!"
After putting the watch in the safe where the wine was placed, Colonel Robert's efficiency immediately increased, and in the sake of understanding the difficult operation of Shepard's company, he simply raised the reimbursement amount of fuel, two hundred tons of fuel oil, which instantly became five hundred tons, and also gave Shepard a Ministry of Defense certificate that with this, he can directly receive a certain amount of fuel at major military bases around the world, even if he doesn't use it, it's no problem to take it out and buy it!
Soon the report is revised, and then the secretary at the door pushes the door in and takes the manuscript, and then she will give the manuscript to the typist, and finally it will be turned into a formal contract document, which Shepard will sign and it will be done.
Seeing
"As for the necklace, how about I send someone to deliver it this weekend?"
"It's okay or not, it's so happily decided!"
Immediately, the two of them raised the few brandies in their glasses and drank them down.
A gold watch and a necklace can directly prostitute three hundred sets of infantry equipment for nothing, which is a lot of money for Shepard, as for the gifts sent out, he is not distressed at all, in Yala he extorted a lot of fat sheep, those Yala officials when they ran away with most of the hard currency, diamonds and gold or something he filled a big box.
As for why this guy eats this set, it couldn't be simpler, a civilian colonel who has not been promoted for many years, Shepard has seen a lot, and Smith is in the army, but the other party is hopeless because he has made as many mistakes as he has made and made meritorious contributions.
After dealing with the Ministry of Defense, Shepard thought about it and felt that he didn't seem to have a good way to deal with it, unless, he sighed helplessly, and then dialed a long-distance international call.
"Hello?"
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously impatient with the call, but when he heard that no one had spoken on the phone for a long time, his tone suddenly became helpless.
"John, every time you want to ask me for help, it's like this!"
"Then don't you help me every time? Mitchell! ”
Hearing the familiar voice and familiar tone on the other end of the phone, Shepard laughed.
"That can't be helped, who called you this guy my brother! Tell me, what's going on again? Asking for money or helping you get things straight? ”
"It's not that serious, you should know a lot of officers over there in Korea, right?"
"Acquaintance, what are you going to do?"
"I need about sixty military-trained people who can speak English or another language, and I can give them a base salary of $20 a month, can you help me?"
