Shepard's squad was a mix of former South Vietnamese Einsatzgruppen soldiers and South Korean soldiers, and this squad had been in Vietnam for almost a year, and although they had not experienced any major battles, they had friendly exchanges with their neighbors every once in a while.

So Shepard specially asked Smith to find someone to write things down, and as for whether to rectify it or not, then it's up to him!

After coming down the hillside, Shepard noticed that there was something wrong with what he thought was a dry valley, because there was still a small stream in the middle of the valley, and many BHP workers wore big pants to play in the stream in order to escape the heat.

"It's so much better than our camp!"

"No wonder these people want our help, they're here on vacation, right?"

The PMCs who watched the leisurely life of the British employees were so envious, although Shepard was also preparing to build a swimming pool in the camp, but the pit had not yet been dug yet, so everyone could only spray it with a water gun.

After surveying the situation within five kilometers of the river valley, Shepard was satisfied to pull Smith back to the camp, and the professional Indian attendants brought white towels and ice water to the few people as soon as they entered the gate, and then before Shepard could sit down on his ass, black tea and pastries were served.

"Mr. Smith, you're still going to enjoy it!"

Shepard picked up a piece of cake and found that the cream and strawberries on it were even fresh, so he was not polite and immediately scraped the strawberries and cream onto his plate.

And Smith looked at the bare cake and the corners of his eyes twitched, this guy is really not polite, but after all, he has a request, so he shouldn't have seen it.

"After all, if you come out to work and don't maintain your mood, it will definitely not work!"

"It's a pity that a good mood can't save your life!"

"In fact, in most cases, there is no problem, after all, everyone does business, and the emphasis is still on harmony!"

"That's true, but it's bad to meet an opponent who refuses to make peace!"

"yes, but doesn't that give you a chance!"

"Well, so let's say it's a win-win for both of us?"

"Indeed, winwin, win-win!"

After eating and drinking enough, Shepard and his team got back to the camp in a helicopter, and when they left, they didn't forget to carry a bucket of ice cream from the kitchen, and let the Indian chef dispose of the wild boar he had killed.

After returning to the camp, everyone was not idle, and directly used the soil on the construction site outside the camp to make a simple sand table, and then began a heated discussion.

The squad leaders expressed their opinions, combined with their lifelong learning and lessons learned on the sand table, this is the battlefield they have to experience, and naturally they also need to be familiar with it, combined with the map and the sand table, as well as the real picture, the commanders of each team also understand what they want to do here.

"We may encounter mortar attacks, in addition, the enemy should also have machine guns, recoilless guns and the like, snipers should also be considered, this is your life, everyone is out to earn money to support their families, only alive can earn money, so, this kind of moment, it's up to you!"

Shepard himself is a half-military officer, although he went to receive reserve officer training when he was in college, but that is reserve training, not formal, so at this moment, he prefers to let his subordinates exert their own subjective initiative.

And this is indeed the case, although everyone belongs to the kind of repeated defeats, but when it comes to protecting their own lives, no one will hide their secrets, how to dig foxholes, how to dig traffic trenches, how to shoot bunkers, everyone is constantly talking, and after several days of summary and field surveys, Shepard has a perfect plan in his hand for how to defend the BHP company's river valley camp

Almost as the planning was complete, BHP's helicopter landed at the Shadow Company's base.

A dusty Donner then jumped out of the helicopter, and behind him, several gun-wielding security guards carried down two large boxes.

"Hopefully I've made the right choice, Mr. Shepard!"

Donner sorted out his look, trying not to look too bad, and then shook Shepard's hand very solemnly.

"I can assure you that this is definitely the least regrettable decision of your life!"

Shepard also answered the other party very seriously and solemnly.

Then, Donner followed Shepard into the room, and under the certification of the lawyer brought by BHP, the two parties signed a contract in triplicate, BHP will complete the production of the copper mine within one year, and Shadow Company needs to ensure that the mining of BHP is not interfered with by any external factors during this year, except for force majeure factors, of course!

After the contract was signed, Donner pushed over the two suitcases he had brought.

"That's a four-month advance! For the rest, as you say, it will be billed monthly! ”

"Okay, then, according to the contract, in a week, we will officially send security personnel to move in, but before we officially move in, we hope to do a little renovation in the valley area!"

"Yes, if you need our personnel and machinery, just ask!"

"Then you're welcome?"

The ease on Donner's face faded.

"You just said a small transformation, it should be just a small transformation, right?"

"Yes, a small transformation, that is, the area is a little bigger!"

Shepard scratched his head in embarrassment.

In the end, it can only be said that it is worthy of a large company, BHP's mining camp has nearly 800 workers, and this is only the early stage, and when the copper mine is officially put into operation, there will be hundreds more people in the future, not to mention a large number of mechanical equipment and vehicles, the entire camp is only a mining site, which is almost three kilometers long in the plan, and if you continue to dig, it will only be bigger.

But now all this equipment and personnel are in Shepard's hands, to be exact, managed by the only veteran sergeant who is a professional engineer in the Shadow Company, and their only job is civil engineering!

"That's an understanding of the land!"

"But isn't this a world war?"

Looking at the foxholes scattered all over the hilly stripes on both sides of the river valley, as well as the outer walls of the camp that are taking shape little by little, and the camp buildings that are being treated with fireproofing, Smith and Shepard sat under the sun umbrella and watched the big brothers in India work.

"Be prepared, you don't want to eat hot pot and sing songs, and suddenly be sent to the sky with mortar artillery, right?"
