Although everyone tacitly agreed to demarcate the fighting area at the BHP Valley camp, due to personnel transfers and business cooperation, there was hardly any conflict between the two sides in the month following the negotiations.

But this does not mean that everyone has figured it out and that there is a truce, on the contrary, the mercenaries and the Shadow Company are gathering their forces little by little, François set up an operational base in a village thirty kilometers away from the river valley, and the Francian mercenaries drove away all the civilians in the village, and then used the vacated house as a medical station, ammunition depot and headquarters.

The three Schneider 1922 75mm guns at the bottom of the box were also dragged out, and the origin of these guns is not small, when the head of the French mercenary Bob Denard tried to overthrow Mobutu of the Democratic Republic of the Congo a few years ago. These three cannons were Bob Denall's great contribution to the government army, but unfortunately, in the end, Bob Denard ran away because of the defeat.

But the artillery is still there, the shells are sufficient, this batch of artillery has not known how many hands have been changed since they were made, but the quality of the artillery is also good, in fact, the old arms of World War II, until the 21st century, are still shining in Africa and even Europe!

When the mercenaries were mobilizing their manpower to accumulate strength, the Shadow Company was also mobilizing personnel little by little, Shepard redivided all the combat teams under him, and then established Apple, Butter, Charlie, and Dove four detachments, these code names are all historical code names, so no one thinks there is a problem, and if there are follow-up personnel to join, there will be Edward, Freddy, George These squads, anyway, there are enough letters!

Among them, Apple, Butter, and Charlie belong to the combination of old men and newcomers, and they were all mobilized by Shepard to the River Valley camp, while Dove's team accommodated a group of lightly wounded and new recruits, and was responsible for all the previous security operations.

Although there will be a shortage of manpower, with the security business of many companies on the right track, and the proficiency of personnel, Shepard's manpower gap can be alleviated, after all, usually a company only needs a team of six people, instead of a whole team in the past.

During this time, the second batch of modified weapons from Knight also arrived in the DRC with the ship, this batch of weapons included 50 M16 automatic rifles with replaced barrels and drums, 30 Colt six-fold zoom optical sights, and 30,000 rounds of 7.62 mm NATO ammunition used in the M134 machine gun.

Although the infantry firepower has been strengthened again, compared with the mercenaries with cars and cannons, the disadvantages of the Shadow Company are still too obvious, this is no way, after all, although the latecomers have the advantage of being a latecomer, they also have disadvantages, Africa is still very far away for the United States, but for France, it is the back garden, and after the establishment of the South African EO mercenary company that has not yet been established, it is even more dependent on its geographical advantages to bring in towing cannons and serious armored vehicles, and even these guys have air fuel bombs in their hands!

Shepard didn't dare to ask for thermobaric bombs or anything like that at the moment, and he was already satisfied with the 70mm rockets he needed, but the only thing he could pull at the moment was Morgan's line, which was temporarily interrupted because the latter was planning some secret operation.

Fortunately, Hannibal, who had disappeared for almost a month, finally returned from Kinshasa, and with him came two heavy flatbed trailers that had been rented for thousands of dollars.

"Boss, look what I brought you back!"

"You're not going to get a tank back, are you?"

Shepard was also overjoyed when he heard this, not to mention anything else, even if he was given a T34, he would dare to take the initiative to attack Tokyo now, ah no, it was François's hometown!

"Well, slightly worse than a tank!"

Hannibal could see Shepard's excitement, he touched his head, and tried to tactfully remind Shepard that the situation might not be as he thought!

"Worse than a tank, armored car? Armored cars are also OK, at least with a door gun! ”

Shepard waved his hand indifferently, in this part of Africa, it is indeed very difficult to find a good tank armored vehicle in the current era, after all, the tens of billions of subsidies have not officially started at the moment, and it can only be regarded as a start, and it will take a while to buy a cheap second-hand BMP tank or T55 tank for girls' own use.

"There are also cannons, but there is a bit of a problem with the car!"

"What's the problem?"

"A cannon is a cannon? A car is a car! ”

"Uh, what the hell are you doing?"

Shepard suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Didn't I give you 200,000 yuan? Are you all taking kickbacks? ”

Seeing that Shepard had already pulled out his belt, Hannibal shook his head repeatedly.

"The 200,000 you gave can't be spent at all, you also know where this is, those Shermans in the logistics warehouse of the DRC military have long been turned into scrap metal, and I have been digging for several days to find these two things in good condition from the garbage! It cost a total of two thousand dollars, I asked the quartermaster for a meal, it cost a thousand, and then the remaining one thousand went directly to his wife, and then, the things drove back! ”

During the conversation, the two also came to the parking lot, the flatbed truck was unloading the goods, and Shepard, who saw the goods, also rubbed his face helplessly.

Then he gave Hannibal a thumbs up.

"For $2,000, you can get two M20s, which is not bad! But what about the cannon? ”

"In the car, an M40 recoilless gun, fifty shells were delivered!"

Hannibal's gift to Shepard is also a grandfather-level thing, the M20 wheeled armed reconnaissance vehicle produced by the American Ford Company, this thing has been used as an aid weapon to the French and has also sent a lot, in the warehouse of the Congo government army, it is estimated that this is how it came, this car has a very famous cousin, called M8 Greyhound, this thing is still used by the US military in Vietnam, with a 37mm main gun and an M2 machine gun, but the M20 is relatively weak in terms of force, Its weapon rack is either an M2 heavy machine gun or an M1919 light machine gun, which can only be used against infantry.

The situation of the two M20s that Hannibal got was even more special, not only did they have no weapons, but even the radio in the car was missing, and the power system was still intact.

"Forget it, two thousand dollars for this, it's already calculated!"

"What about the weapon?"

"Let's put the M60 on the rack first, at least it's a machine gun, oh yes, that recoilless gun, weld it to the jeep along with the gun mount!"

Shepard had clearly realized at this moment that the guerrilla formation of the Shadow Company seemed to have made a good start.
