Chapter Ninety-Four: Reflection Is It!
On the morning of the third day, the Black Uncles finally came to an agreement, and after breakfast, they began to attack the convoy.
There was no artillery preparation, and there was no reserve, the black uncles from various tribal forces were pulled out and formed a commando team that was not too badly equipped, and then after the tribal witch doctor gave everyone the buff, the black uncles roared and launched a charge like wild horses.
Although this time they gathered the elite and the witch doctor to help, in fact, the battle situation was no different from yesterday, when the gun rang out, some people lay down, and when the gun stopped, they continued to rush, and when they died, they ran away, and ran back to rush again.
Therefore, everyone fought fiercely all morning, with single digits of casualties, but the number of sports steps was outrageous, and Shepard, who was watching the excitement in the rear, even suspected that the black uncles were here to hold the sports meeting, and the most unbearable thing for him was the black uncles who joined this unique confrontation competition after the third day.
They were not armed, but they were pushing carts or driving cattle with pots and pans, and they did not come to fight, but to set up humble stalls on the fringes of the fighting, selling snacks such as dried fish and pancakes to others.
The battlefield is so deadlocked, United Mining wants to protect the company's property, and if you want to leave, you can't leave, and the black uncles can't eat if you want to, so everyone can only continue to be in this stalemate, but outside the battlefield, the situation is not right again.
Since the convoy was besieged, the senior management of United Mining could not eat or sleep, because the transportation route was blocked, and most of the ore they mined had been backlogged, and they could not deliver the goods, so the partners would not give money, and they could not pay wages to their subordinates if they could not earn money, which led to a vicious circle, so they had nothing else to care about at the moment, and immediately organized people to try to rescue the convoy.
But when United Mining searched everywhere and finally gathered an armed force of more than 200 people, they found that the number of Uncle Black had reached thousands of people, and the rescue team they had assembled was frightened and refused to dispatch.
So United Mining could only go to the garrison commander again, in order to get the other party to help, the lobbyist of United Mining was a big blood, sent a check to the other party, sent a mansion, and gave a wife, but Colonel Senerio did not do personnel after receiving the money, he sent one of his own infantry battalions to help, as a result, this infantry battalion marched less than 20 kilometers a day to rest, two days passed, they were still a hundred kilometers away from the destination.
United Mining is even asking the government to intervene, and the Belgian government is also stubborn this time, they immediately put pressure through diplomatic means to ask Mobutu to solve the matter as soon as possible, but thanks to the poor administrative governance level of the Mobutu government and the chaotic cabinet management, the effect of diplomatic pressure is not obvious, and it may not even be as fast as the infantry sent by Senerio in the past.
However, it is worth mentioning that this time the United Mining seems to have moved seriously, they directly persuaded the government to put François on the international wanted list, and the crime is to trap Belgian citizens and plunder property, and the corresponding documents have been sent to France, that is, François is really famous this time!
"The Belgians offered a reward of 200,000 yuan for his arrest, whether he lives or dies?"
Shepard, who also saw the wanted news, suddenly had an idea, the matter is so big, there must be someone who has to bear everything in the end, so in this case, you can only ask François, a beloved relative and friend!
"Give him two days, and wait until the Belgians are done, you know!"
Shepard summoned his South Vietnamese non-commissioned officers, they were more skilled in this kind of work, and they were more loyal to Shepard, so it was only fitting for them to do it!
And the plight of United Mining is still not improving, and even the convoy has begun to run out of food, they have been besieged for five days, and the compressed biscuits and other food they carry have been almost consumed, and the reason why they have not collapsed is because of the fear of Uncle Black, if the opponent changed to the Germans, they would have done the French military salute a long time ago!
In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, United Mining finally had to send people to the camp of the Shadow Company, trying to get Shepard to make a move at a fair price.
But to the dismay of the person in charge, the Shadow Company was not interested in their arrival at all, and even sent a Korean soldier who couldn't understand English to receive him, but he couldn't understand Korean either, so he could only smile and look at the other party's strong dentist Shanke and Wash Rome!
The person in charge of this also understands, after all, everyone was an enemy before, but now, the entire DRC has no power to entrust, although there is a French mercenary led by Bob Denard in Angola next door, but he is a wanted criminal of the Mobutu government, and they can't come to help, the only thing they can count on is the Shadow Company, or rather, the two Huey helicopters of the Shadow Company!
In order to make Shepard as relieved as possible, the person in charge also brought some greeting gifts this time, the same as the one given to Senerio, which were two standard-weight gold bars, refined from their factory.
But such a valuable gift was politely declined, and the person in charge drank two full jugs of boiling water and ate four bowls of pickles, and finally waited for Hannibal, whose answer was concise and clear.
"Shadow Inc., it's peace-loving, we won't fire at unarmed civilians!"
"But this conflict was caused by François, and if you let him go, don't you have a little responsibility?"
"His legs are on himself, where he wants to go, you might as well reflect first, why that guy doesn't look for someone else, he wants to find you, and why those black people don't attack other convoys, but only fight around you!"
Hannibal's yin and yang strange words made the person in charge dumbfounded, and he had the heart to refute it, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt as if what the other party said made some sense, otherwise he couldn't explain why his family was being beaten.
"Please bring back your gifts!"
"Wait, if you can't provide military support, then we can rent your plane, right?"
"Rent a plane?"
"Yes, give our people, put some supplies, and we will pay five times the price!"
Hanni raised an eyebrow, then hesitated, and nodded when he heard a cough coming from outside the house.
"I will state in advance, if there are any losses in the helicopter!"
"Let's lose a new one!"
"Okay, we promise, but I think your company still needs to reflect on it, after all, many times, a slap can't be slapped!"
