Chapter 33: It's Good to Have Friends!

This batch of arms Shepard actually can't look down on it at all, he is also the one who has escorted hundreds of thousands of arms, these old guys naturally don't look down on it, in fact, Senerio doesn't look down on these things, Mobutu has a full set of military aid, all American goods, these old things, the final end is to be sold to the black market.

But with these things, Senerio will be able to give an explanation to the above and prove that he is capable of making a difference, so that he can also climb higher and maybe enter the power level of Mobutu.

Senerio couldn't help but be excited at the thought of changing from a colonel to a general, and when Shepard vaguely said that his current barracks were not big enough and wanted to expand a little, the colonel immediately nodded and agreed without blinking.

"Mr. Shepard, if you treat me as a friend, then you are welcome, the place is not big enough, you can paddle casually, in Katanga, it will be your own home! Later, I will ask the officials of the Ministry of the Interior to come and measure the land for you, and I promise to satisfy you!" ”

"Then I will thank Mr. Colonel in advance for his generosity!"

As he spoke, Shepard asked someone to bring a bottle of whiskey and poured a glass for each of them.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

The two raised their glasses and drank the wine, and then Shepard also took Senerio to look at his military camp, which is actually a disguised display of strength, which is different from selling Lesso miserably, this time Shepard asked his subordinates to show strong combat effectiveness to give Senerio a little American shock.

First of all, Senerio looked at the internal affairs of the PMC, and the strict standard of internal affairs can be regarded as a unified requirement of the major powers, just like the Americans require blankets and sheets to be folded at a fixed angle, and the French require military uniforms to have a few folds, and the internal affairs requirements of the Shadow Company are not bad at all, and the clean and tidy military camp environment first opened Senerio's eyes.

And then there's the arsenal, although Shepard asked for it from the Ministry of Defense, although it is not a first-line equipment, but it is not too much, nothing more than that their M16 rifle is still using a short magazine of 20 rounds, the most surprising thing for Senerio is the penetration rate of sights in the Shadow Company, Colt Company's triple-handle sights are not cheap, but a third of the weapons of the Shadow Company are equipped with this thing, not to mention twenty improved M14s, Senerio even wants to spend money to buy a few from Shepard for his own guards, Shepard was naturally kind and generously sent ten handfuls to the other party.

Anyway, Knight can continue to ship, and if it is sent out, it will be regarded as advertising!

After visiting the barracks, Senerio watched a shooting demonstration specially prepared for him, and watched the targets 100 meters away land one by one, Senerio could finally confirm that these mercenaries from the United States were really different from other countries.

"We are formalized and commercialized, and the advanced organizational form is naturally not comparable to those old mercenaries, and even I think it is not right to call us mercenaries, I prefer to call us military contractors!"

With an unlit cigar in his hand, Shepard gushed about the difference between a so-called military contractor and a mercenary, but just like apples sold at Christmas and apples sold at fruit stands, commercial operations can multiply the value of the former, and so do contractors.

Senerio left in the Shadow Company here with a smile on his pocket, everyone is willing to make friends with capable people, and he is not surprised, the Shadow Company has only been in Katanga Province for more than a month, and the surprise it brings is indeed something that others can't achieve in three years, which is enough for him to extend an olive branch, and Shepard is also happy to accept his olive branch, although the relationship between the two sides is only a preliminary cooperation, but as long as there is a steady stream of interests, then everyone's relationship can continue to be strong.

There is Shepard to give face in front, the next day Senerio sent a few officials to go through the land procedures for the Shadow Company, saying that it is to go through the procedures, but in fact, it is just a process, these lower-level officials have meager salaries, and they are often in arrears on this, so everyone is already familiar with the matter of working and fishing, and after coming to the Shadow Company, they didn't even conduct on-site investigations, and after receiving the red envelopes given by Shepard, they just scratched the map casually, and then, A plot of land the size of three New York's Central Park became Shepard's territory.

"So what are these guys independent?"

Looking at the certificate in his hand, Hannibal couldn't help but laugh, in the past, Uncle Black's elders threw their heads and spilled their blood against the colonial army in order to prevent the white people from touching their land, but now, Shepard only gave a bribe of a few hundred dollars, and a huge piece of land that even people lived here became the private property of the white people.

"The cub sells Yetian, just get used to it!"

Shepard slipped the certificate into the safe, then pointed to the large area on the map.

"I'm going to expand this place, turn it into a training base, and then send people out in a steady stream!"

"Well, the forest is easy to manage, just bulldoze it, but there are still dozens of civilians here, what should they do, drive them out?"

"What are you doing when you drive them out, I'm not a noble lord, these people are our logistics, the men do the work for us, the women wash and scrub everyone, and we don't even need to pay much salary, just let them live a little better than before, and they will be grateful to us, do you believe it?"

"When will it start?"

"Don't be in a hurry, wait for Lei Suo to send the money, and I will talk about the bonus I promised to everyone, but the captives can also do some work, and these guys can't be allowed to live here for nothing!"

"Oh yes, why don't you hand over the captives to the garrison?"

"What can you get for giving it to the garrison, Hannibal, we are not representing any country here, we are representing ourselves! Therefore, when making friends, we don't look at the position, we look at the strength, and I handed over those captives to Senerio, and at most he pulled these guys out and killed them one by one! But if I ransom the partisans, I will get real benefits, and the Russians' money will be worth just as much! ”

"But will it offend that guy by doing so?"

"What offended, we have grown stronger, that guy is too late to stammer, he is not satisfied, we will find a satisfactory one to replace him, when the time comes, some friends want to cooperate with us!"

"Well, you're the boss, you have the final say!"

Hannibal shook his head, Shepard's statement was a bit too edgy for him, and he had to digest it slowly if he wanted to accept it.

"Of course, I'm in charge, now, let's just wait for the news over there!"
