Chapter 42 The Great Lack of Great Virtue will never be forgotten
"See, Hannibal, this business war is enjoyable!"
"Well, it's quite enjoyable, but this business war is more expensive, so you can't fight more!"
"Let's do the same in the future!"
"Well, but we don't have bulldozers or forklifts?"
"How about a 105 howitzer?"
Shepard's overly wild speech stunned the two Britons, but then they reacted that the other party was just ridiculing, how could anyone use a 105 howitzer to beat a commercial opponent?
"If it's just a local black, you should be able to handle it, don't tell me that you suppressed the great Indian uprising without blinking an eye, and now you can't suppress Uncle Black!"
"Here's the problem!"
An embarrassed look flashed across Donner's face.
"If it's just an ordinary black uncle, it's not like we can't handle it!"
Since it is a big business, BHP is still very well prepared, they have a convoy of about twenty people, all of them are Sikhs from India, that is, the red-headed Ah San, which can be regarded as the Indian can fight, in addition, the convoy also has jeeps and machine guns, which is naturally no problem against ordinary mobs.
The problem is that the Belgians are shaking up the tribal forces they have trained!
"That's a tribal armed group with regular military training, and even a conflict with the Wehrmacht, who have rifles and grenades, and there are even hundreds of them, and even the Wehrmacht doesn't want to provoke these guys!"
"Then why don't you go to Senerio, the province of Katanga is his jurisdiction!"
"That guy, it's okay to collect money, do things, don't count on it!"
The British were full of resentment, they wanted to use this banquet to persuade Senerio to intervene, or to disperse or eliminate those guys with the power of the Wehrmacht, but Senerio did not learn anything else, and learned quickly in a perfunctory way, he said that this was a conflict between outsiders and natives, and the army was not easy to meddle, and how could the army, which was supposed to protect the interests of the people, suppress its own people for the sake of foreign enterprises?
Just kidding, you don't think about your own people when you send people to rob things and burn houses, right?
"That's the way it is, we have to mine that copper mine as soon as possible, and the people above have given us a death order, so we can't do anything about it!"
"You didn't negotiate with the Belgians again?"
"I found it, we even said that we could divide it into five or five according to the agreement, but those guys didn't agree, they all wanted it!"
"That's amazing, unexpected!"
Shepard casually picked up a large roast chicken leg and said as he tore at the chicken.
Although Belgium is only a small European country, it is still very active in colonization, but because it joined the colonial army too late, it was not able to grab a good place with Britain and France, so it took the Congo gold, and after getting the colony, the then king Leopold II watched the British and French make a fortune at the same time, and immediately wanted to soar into the sky, but he neither learned the divided rule of the British, nor did he learn the intensive cultivation of the French. The one that was cut was called a river of blood, and even Britain and France at the same time couldn't stand it.
Although the 100-year inactivity in the DRC has left the seeds of hatred in the hearts of many local residents, it has also allowed the Black Uncles to maintain their reverence for the former suzerain.
After the Belgian mercenaries returned to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, they immediately brought back the veterans who had served in the colonial army back to their ranks, and with the constant replenishment of the locals, the unscrupulousness of the Belgian mercenaries naturally even the Wehrmacht could not control.
Maybe Mobutu in Kinshasa can manage it, but the other party is busy serving the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and wants to be the master for life, so it is naturally impossible to control the behavior of mercenaries.
"So you want to ask us to go to war with those guys?"
"No, no, no, it's not a war, it's just protection, it's a protection of our mining!"
"How can I protect you, will I build you a tall and big wall and frame you inside?"
"Ah, that's not realistic!"
"Yes, then what else, I will build a few guard towers, put a few sentries to stand guard, and when I see someone coming, I will ring the alarm bell to inform you to run away?"
"It's even worse!"
"Then I can't help it, you can't do this, you can't do that, or just throw your things back home!"
"Mr. Shepard, aren't we here to ask for help from the Shadow Company!"
"But you just asked for help, and you didn't tell us what to do?"
"This is just to ask you to help us solve this trouble!"
"Then I propose to take the initiative to attack, burn down those guys' villages, slaughter all the people, and hang the corpses on the trees on the side of the road, and solve it once and for all!"
"How can this be, we are people of the civilized world, this is too barbaric!"
Donner said with a look of disgust, but the glint in his eyes made his words not very reliable.
"You see, you can't attack, you can't sentry, you don't have a standard, you can't talk about this!"
Shepard looked at the two Brits and was suddenly disdainful, he dared to guarantee that these two guys would like to choose the plan they said, but they didn't want to put it forward by them, they just wanted to find someone to do this, kill all the people, and the infamy was also on their backs, they only needed to shake their hands and say that they didn't know at all, they did it themselves, and it had nothing to do with us!
What age is it, and it's still so hypocritical! The relationship between conjugated father and son is such a pit for you, right?
"Why don't you ask for another master, I think that Monsieur François is very powerful, the Algerian combat hero, he must be the best at this!"
The two Britons laughed bitterly again, the British went to beg the French, just kidding, even if the earthlings died, the British would not beg France for anything, let alone wear a pair of pants with a Belgian mercenary!
"Mr. Shepard, we can still discuss......
"Then discuss it slowly, anyway, I have a lot of time, there are so many jungles in Katanga Province, I just have something to do to go hunting or something!"
Seeing that Shepard didn't eat his own set at all, the two Britons could only say goodbye and leave, they decided to go to Senerio again to think of a way, just a colonial officer, there must be a way!
"These two guys will definitely come to us again!"
Hannibal saw it very thoroughly, in Katanga Province, the only person who had the strength to compete with those Fabi mercenaries was the Shadow Company!
"Then we will be able to slaughter it again, after all, the older generation has said that the British allies are used to squeeze!"
