"That Frenchman, what an unpleasant thing!"

Hannibal, who hadn't spoken much, carried a plate of dishes, and while sending them neatly to his mouth, he didn't forget to complain.

"There is also a face to say Vietnam, who was defeated in Dien Bien Phu back then and left in disgrace, if it weren't for them, would we still go to Vietnam?"

"Don't say that, after all, it's normal not to forget the glorious moments, our European friends have been emperors in this land for hundreds of years, and it's normal to be a little domineering!"

"But that guy is talking about Vietnam, and he knows what's going on in Vietnam?"

"Vietnam, unless we mobilize, otherwise we can't fight, just rely on McLamana's digital tactics, wishful thinking, if I were president, I would tear down all the infrastructure and run away, it would be a bottomless pit!"

Shepard's words made Hannibal a little disappointed, he didn't expect that the other party would be so unoptimistic about Vietnam, but it's right to think about it, the number of casualties has risen year after year, and the U.S. military has won every battle, but the front line is constantly retreating.

As for the digital tactics mentioned by Shepard, it is actually not a tactic, but a digital model established by the US Department of Defense, and the US high-level believes that as long as they can effectively kill and injure Vietnam's military forces, destroy the opponent's army, and eliminate the opponent's war potential, they can achieve the final victory, but the actual situation is the opposite, whether it is the Air Force, the Army, the Marine Corps, everyone is flying, and each KD is over ten, and the Vietnamese are still running around, and this head is not only the army, A large part of them are civilians, and the battle reports of the US military on the front line will also be different due to various problems, so the Ministry of Defense will find that it has annihilated hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese troops, but there are still hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese troops in a steady stream.

"That digital model was fine with Algeria, but it's a pity that the French didn't stick to it!"

"If the French hold on, the Algerians will almost die, right?"

"It's just the pain of colonization, don't worry!"

The two of them burst out laughing, and then two middle-aged men, who were a little clumsy, approached and introduced themselves like Shepard.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Shepard!"

Well, that's right!

As soon as Shepard heard the other party's authentic London accent, he immediately became energetic, not to mention anything else, the London accent is much better than the Parisian accent!

"Allow me to introduce that this is the head of the BHP Group, Mr. Donald Spree, and the contemptible John Smith, who is also a member of BHP!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, this is my operational commander, Hannibal!"

"It seems that we are all not very popular beings at this banquet!"

Shepard looked at the two of them and said casually.

"yes, who made us too late?"

Donner shrugged and replied helplessly.

"It's actually okay to come late, but the main thing is that some people are very distressed if they don't leave!"

"Then what can I do, I can't drive people out, right?"

The two Britons meant to complain that the Democratic Republic of the Congo was independent, but the former suzerainty was still thinking about meddling in trouble, and Shepard couldn't deny this, after all, on the colonial issue, Britain and France were the same, and if the Franco-Belgian company went to the British colony, it would also be excluded.

But just think about it, Shepard definitely can't say this to the two of them.

He could only smile and nod his head, indicating that the two were right.

"Speaking of which, I am very appreciative of the views put forward by Mr. Shepard, running a contractor company must be very troublesome, and if you don't want something groundbreaking, you will definitely not be able to run it!"

"Mr. Donner understands me so well!"

Shepard immediately expressed great relief.

"Alas, in general, after all, we have also encountered your company's predicament, and even, the trouble has not been solved yet!"

"Oh, what kind of trouble is it, if you don't mind, can you tell me about it?"

"It's the right to mine a river valley, and the Belgians and we have some very unpleasant things about that riverbed, and everyone is very unhappy about it!"

Donner just said it simply, with an understatement as if it were really just a trifle.

"That's really hateful, these Belgians, with the support of the French, actually treat you like they don't take the mighty Royal Navy in their eyes, if I were you, I would definitely write to the Prime Minister and ask him to send the Navy over to give these guys a little color!"

"Alas, it's just a little skirmish, there is no need to use the navy!"

Donner was a little embarrassed, why didn't this American get set, he said this just to arouse Shepard's curiosity, and then let Shepard take the initiative to propose how to solve the problem, but this guy actually said something to let the Navy come over, it was too rude, but what the other party said was right, if this matter is pushed forward fifty years, maybe the Royal Navy will really drive over.

Alas, the glory of the sun that never sets!

For a while, Donner was a little lonely, specially, he obviously won two world wars, why did the empire become like this?

"Uh, yes, yes, it's just a business matter, it's no problem if we solve it privately, there's no need to go up!"

Smith, also named John, immediately started a round.

"If that's the case, you must be able to solve it easily, right?"

"Ahh

The two Englishmen looked at each other awkwardly again, and then smiled helplessly.

"Well, then we won't hide it, here's the situation!"

It is certainly not a trivial matter to let the British take the initiative to let go of their reserves, on the contrary, the problem of BHP is big!

Katanga province is rich in minerals, this has been said before, after Mobutu came to power, BHP set up an exploration company in the DRC, ready to make a good profit, and they did exactly that, the company started very smoothly, explored several good iron ores, and then, in a dry valley in the north, their exploration team found a large copper area on the riverbed, the production has not yet been proven, but the scale is certainly not small, at least not less than six figures, so BHP can be said to be fully prepared, State-of-the-art equipment was shipped in preparation for mining.

But the problem is that the Belgians are also eyeing the mining rights of the copper mine, and the two sides have a conflict, the amount of copper ore is not small, they don't want to give up at all, and the Belgians who are also anxious to get rich don't want to give up, since everyone doesn't want to give up, then negotiate, but several rounds of negotiations have not reached a unified opinion, so the verbal conflict finally turned into fists and feet, and the personnel on both sides held tools and even drove instruments to communicate so friendly.

As we all know, the British are extremely keen on fighting, and later football hooligans will start fighting at every turn, logically speaking, the Belgians should not be able to beat each other, but they have the advantage of the suzerain, and if they can't beat it, they will shake the black uncle, and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the British naturally have no Ah San to shout, so they fell behind in the conflict.

"That's the case, uh, Mr. Shepard, are you listening?"

"Wow, this is called a business war!"
