Chapter 109: Good strategy, but I'd like to modify it slightly
"Damn, you don't think I'm high enough on the streetlights, do you?"
Shepard only felt that his position above his neck was cold, why could he only have such a job? Why isn't there the kind of work that saves civilians from fire and water and earns them a name before and after? Wherever the army goes, the people wholeheartedly welcome it, and it is better to have a scene of vitality and all things happening.
Oh, we're American military contractors, that's fine!
"Suppression of miners? We're not Pinkerton detectives! ”
"But Minister Abermani Coset Pochong asked!"
"What's wrong with the request, the begging for food has become an uncle? And when you hear the name, it's stinky and long, and you know it's not a good thing when you hear it! Don't go, Lao Tzu is a person with integrity and bottom line, why do you want to do such a thing! ”
Senerio touched the sweat on his head with some embarrassment, and then said to Shepard.
"The minister has a good relationship with President Mobutu, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten these gold mines, but he promised to pay for the gold!"
"How much?"
"Fifty kilograms of golden sand!"
"How much did he give you?"
"Not a dime!"
Senerio's face was disdainful, the garrison was dispatched, and inviting the Americans became a hire, and the minister's ability to steer the rudder was also a must, and the life or death of the black man was insignificant to him, but he was respectful to the white man, and even asked himself to invite Shepard.
"This minister of yours is really good, and if you change to another white man, you will definitely like him very much!"
"What about you?"
"I, I only like women!"
Shepard put on the holster he had hung on the shelf, tucked the python revolver into the holster, and put on his own Penny hat and walked out of the office.
Senerio followed him, expecting Shepard to take his men on a mission, but it wasn't until the two of them got on the plane that he found that the Shadow Company didn't seem to have any plans to make a move.
"Didn't you say yes?"
"Promise what, I'll go see the situation first, and then say something else!"
Shepard twisted his neck and said.
"What the hell is going on in that gold mine?"
"What else can it be, the people above think that the workers are a group of working machines that never sleep, just want people to work, but they didn't pay a penny for three months, and even killed a few protesting miners, and two days ago because of an accident, that fool demanded compensation from the workers, and the overseer killed the three miners who took the lead, and raped their wives and daughters!"
"Sounds like you're mad at the workers?"
"What are you talking about, those workers and I are Katanga, I don't know what they are, how much they produced each year in the hands of the whites, and how much do they produce now? It's a shame that such a gold mine was destroyed in the hands of this guy! ”
"Yes, as long as the previous state is maintained, it will be a continuous cornucopia, but it's a pity!"
"So, John, my friend, do you have any ideas?"
"Ah, what's the idea, why can't I understand you?"
"John, don't pretend, it's yours and me here, I'll tell you the truth, that gold mine, I'm very excited!"
"Who isn't excited, but we have to go and talk about the specific situation!"
Shepard looked at Colonel Senerio who was squinting in the wind, and suddenly felt a sense of participation, you see, an ambitious warlord has grown up around him!
The helicopter quickly arrived at the target mine, and the two sides were still in a tense standoff, the miners held out according to the mine, they seized the warehouse before the riot, stockpiled a lot of food and water, and were able to hold out for a long time, but it was the government army and the police on the side, well, because of the poor logistics, when Shepard and they arrived, Senerio's soldiers were returning with the wild boar they had just hit.
"If there were guns on the other side, we might have run away!"
"Well, what about the minister?"
"After the day of the accident came, he left the next day, and before he left, the guy said that he would come back after the matter was settled!"
"That's it!"
Shepard stroked his freshly trimmed stubble, then walked towards the mine with the two guards beside him.
It was a huge pit thousands of meters wide and tens of meters deep, and the circular winding road stretched up from the bottom of the pit like a long snake, and the miners, in the dark mine deep in the pit, when Shepard walked to the edge of the high ground, he saw several sneaky black uncles moving at the mouth of the mine, and when they found someone infested, they immediately fled back like frightened rabbits.
"What do you think?"
"Assault or peace talks, but the assault is a big problem, either they kill a lot of people, or this gold mine is over, but peace talks, we can't explain to that son of a bitch!"
Senerio touched his head helplessly, his elite troops were still being drilled by the Shadow Company in the training camp, and these people in his hands were bullying the common people to be good hands, and he might as well catch a wild boar to do this kind of attack!
"And what do you want to do?"
"If you attack it, can you handle it?"
"Yes, but a lot of people will die!"
Shepard kicked a rock away and said very lightly.
"We have shotguns and tear gas and night vision devices, flamethrowers can be borrowed from Kinshasa, and if we attack them, we can prepare them now!"
"That's just a few hundred ordinary miners who just want to have enough to eat, so there's no need to use these, right?"
Senerio could already imagine how Shepard's mercenaries carried out this bloody massacre efficiently and quickly, and the miners' explosives were used to scare and scare their own soldiers, but for the Shadow Company, it seemed a little powerless.
"Then peace talks?"
"Let's make peace, but my people can't go, there was a conflict before, and they and we all died!"
"Then let me do it! Just think about how to explain it to that guy! ”
"Well, I'm going to talk to that guy, after all, the gold mine is now under his control, and we can use the method of shareholding to let him get the income and not participate in the management........."
Senerio had clearly had a plan, but Shepard didn't think the same way.
"You've got a good idea, but I'd like to revise it a little!"
"That guy won't necessarily let us participate, and besides, it's better to share two than three!"
Senerio's eyes glared at the boss, he looked left and right, and then asked in a whisper.
"What do you want to do?"
"What do you do, I just think that God and his old man may lack a cotton bullet around him!"
"But, if someone finds out!"
"Then don't be discovered!"
