Chapter 19: Into Epheric! (Above)

The base salary of $20 sounds pitiful, but for South Korea during this period, it can be regarded as a high salary, and the salary of Korean soldiers on the battlefield in Vietnam at that time was only $33, and Shepard's base salary of $20 was also carefully calculated.

If it is a real elite, then he can even open a base salary of three thousand, but these guys who are temporarily recruited to make up the number are already benevolent and righteous at 20.

"What do you want so many people for?"

"Be a security guard!"

"John!"

"Well, I've taken over a contractor company and I'm going to do some security work in Africa, so I need some people!"

"You, contractor?"

Mitchell Shepard on the other end of the phone smiled dumbly, he really didn't expect that his little brother could be so big less than two years away from home.

But thinking about the other party's feat from childhood to adulthood, organizing people to write math homework by hand on a large scale, extorting school bully protection fees, and paying developer conferences on campus, Mitchell is also relieved.

"Okay, I've helped with this, so what's in it for me?"

"I'll send you some souvenirs!"

"Okay!"

"Oh, by the way, I have already mailed you a sample of your documents, and you will send it to them directly when you recruit good people over there!"

"I guess I'll have to take care of the remaining fifty-nine?"

"That's right, brother!"

"You're such a bastard!"

"Thanks for the compliment!"

After hanging up the phone, Shepard immediately walked out of the phone booth humming a little song, and he didn't have to worry about it, because Mitchell, who had grown up thinking that he had established an omnipotent image in his brother's heart, would handle everything, thanks to the encouragement of Shepard, who was just talking at the time. It's not for nothing that Mitchell Shepard, who gradually lost his heart in the voice that his brother was too powerful, became a favorite brother!

After the personnel were done, Shepard went to the local National Guard base non-stop, and after checking the documents, he got three companies of mothballed infantry equipment, including bulletproof vests, water bottles, backpacks, and bullet-hung military boots, although these things are not as good as Shepard's intentions, but now is not the period when all things compete for tactical equipment in later generations, so they can only be used, and at least Shepard still remembers to prepare some protective equipment for his subordinates, although it may not be of much use.

In addition to these protections, Africa's natural environment is also quite threatening, and essential medicines, preventive vaccines, and even doctors are also on Shepard's radar.

In addition, there is the biggest food ration problem, Shepard did his homework in advance, found a food company that is delivering food and drinking water to local foreign-funded enterprises in Katanga, and faced the customers who came to the door, the food company also hit it off, and signed a supply contract with Shepard for half a year, and they will deliver supplies every six months.

In addition to these things, there are also transportation procedures including equipment, customs reporting, in short, complicated procedures are also Shepard's responsibility, although in general, these jobs should be responsible for a special team, but this is also the first time Shepard is completely independent of the operation, so he runs up and down can be regarded as a deep understanding.

Anyway, when everything was almost ready, the time had come to April, and the Black Mermaid set sail for the coast of Africa.

There were less than thirty people who set off in advance, including the old men of the original company, and a group of retired veterans recruited by Promri in the later period, and there were seven from the South Vietnamese Einsatzgruppen, because of the erosion of the war situation in Vietnam, these people were already preparing for the back road, after signing a long-term contract with Shepard, their families would be taken to Orange County, California, USA to settle, of course, they would definitely not be able to afford the settling-in fee, so Shepard gave these guys a very kind personal loan, It only takes them another twenty years of work to pay it off!

As for South Korea, there are no problems, Mitchell recruits people very smoothly, at this time there is no miracle on the Han River in South Korea, and the life is not as good as the neighbors in the north who are supported by Big Brother, so although the salary is ten or even nine times lower than that of the Americans, there are still a large number of qualified people who are eager to come in.

The main reason why Shepard didn't let these guys come with him was that he had a small doubt about the character of our Korean army, and at least he wouldn't send these guys over until they set up camp in Katanga.

On April 26, 1970, with the roaring whistle of the ship, the Shadow Company, which would later have a mixed reputation in Africa, finally arrived in his loyal Africa.

And Shepard, as the head of the legion, immediately took a step forward after he couldn't wait to land on the African continent.

"It's a small step for me, but it's a big step for the company!"

Looking at Shepard in such excitement, Primri thought it would be better not to tell him that they were still about a thousand kilometers away from their destination.

Although it is far from the destination, but fortunately, during this period, a large amount of foreign company investment, coupled with the colonial rule of the year, the road situation in the DRC is not bad, and the personnel and equipment of the Shadow Company can drive directly from the dock to Lubumbashi, the capital of Katanga Province.

There, the U.S. Federal Energy Agency from Standard Oil has prepared a nice camp for them, from the former Belgian colonial period.

After seeing this camp, Shepard couldn't help but sigh with heartfelt emotion, it is really a good place, it is accessible in all directions, ventilated on all sides, and people and nature live in harmony.

Of course, this is a statement of high emotional intelligence, and low emotional intelligence is that the camp left by the Belgian army is just a camp, because there is nothing else left, the doors and windows of the camp are empty, the yard is overgrown with weeds, and there are a few wild boars playing and playing.

Luckily, Uncle Black can't move the stone wall!

Shepard could only sigh like this, and then, he ordered a fire to burn the yard first!

"Mr. Manfil!"

Shepard called out to the EDA official and asked if he could find some workers for himself, after all, he was going to repair the camp, and after accepting a $20 benefit fee, Shepard kindly told Shepard that he would recommend his company's team if he could.

"That would be great, and besides, can you tell me more about the area?"

Seeing that another $20 had arrived, the small Mediterranean man immediately smiled again with a gentlemanly smile.

"That's a long story!"
