Chapter 133: The tacit understanding of the bad guys

Helen is talking about the next door, of course, not the next door to Katanga Province, but the next door to Angola, this land later called Namibia was first colonized by Germany in southwest Africa, after the end of World War I, it was handed over to South Africa for the mandate, and after the end of World War II, South Africa forcibly annexed Namibia, and tried to use this as a springboard to establish a new post-war order in Africa dominated by South Africa.

South Africa has also been sanctioned by the United Nations, although it is useless, the territory it should occupy is still occupied, and even South Africa is continuing to expand its influence outward, in a way, South Africa is also a colonial country, although the place it colonizes is at its own doorstep.

Like Angola, Namibia is also in turmoil, Namibia's black uncles are dissatisfied with the white government in South Africa and have been fighting for independence, but South Africa is not a soft persimmon, and the two sides have exchanged views on such a land in a cordial and friendly manner.

And South Africa is also worthy of being a former colony with Britain, three fists and two feet, and the black uncle who did fight screamed and screamed, so he could only find a way to shake people outside.

Of course, in addition to Namibia, there are quite a few places where South Africa is involved, Rhodesia, that is, Zimbabwe, which became famous in later generations, before the white government was overthrown, it was also South Africa that vigorously supported Rhodesia's brutal suppression of local blacks, so if you encounter problems in North Africa and Central Africa, look for the French, and if you have problems in the southern region, then look for South Africa.

"You mean, we buy arms from the South Africans and pass them on to Zabi?"

"That's right, if a single weapon source is noticed by someone with a heart, the problem can be found out quickly, and if you want to hide your identity, then you must muddy the waters!"

"But isn't that a bit of a stretch?"

The weapons in stock in the arsenal of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Defence Force are FAL rifles from Belgium and a considerable number of old WWII FN49 semi-automatic rifles, while the South African army is also in the hands of FAL rifles, the difference is that one is produced in Belgium, and the other is authorized by South Africa itself.

"But if we don't muddy the waters, the Portuguese will stare at us!"

"That's right!"

"And, most importantly, you have to understand how to pinch Zabi!"

"Handle?"

Shepard raised his eyebrows, although what he said was true, but it came out of the other party's mouth, and it was a very straightforward explanation of the word "grasp the key".

"Are you all so straightforward in Oxford?"

"It's the same with Cambridge next door!"

"Elite education is really extraordinary!"

Shepard is a man who does what he says, there are not many blacks under him who can do the work, Sacralar is busy sending guns and cannons to Angola, so he can only let Osaba play, he will go to Namibia and South Africa in the name of the Angola Liberation Front to contact the National Cooperation Bureau, the latter in Africa is the equivalent of the Gestapo in Europe, although it is not to the extent that it turns into a child to stop crying, but it can be regarded as a hate.

In the past, Shepard was worried that the guerrillas would be violently bombarded by the Portuguese regular army, so whether it was guns or bullets, they basically gave as much as they wanted, but now, Shepard decided to follow the needs of the guerrillas.

Of course, if Zabi paid real money, then Shepard would definitely not be so deducted, and he would have tried to get a cannon if the other party wanted it.

When Zabi learned that the supplies had to be cut due to transportation and supply problems, he looked extremely disappointed, and he did not doubt Shepard's statement, after all, the latter also said that he was a volunteer, and the lack of supplies was also a matter of hope.

"But I want to launch a counteroffensive!"

"Counterattack?"

Shepard's first instinct was to stop the other party's idea, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped.

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to attack Dundo!"

“???”

Shepard coughed, then looked silently at Sacralar, who then began to introduce him to the Dundo.

It is a city on the northeastern border of Angola, a border town hub linking the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola, with a decent road running through the city, a small city of about 10,000 people, mainly agricultural and animal husbandry.

The Portuguese had a battalion garrison here, plus a servant army of about 500 men, but both the garrison and the servant army were stationed in the surrounding towns on weekdays, and there was only one battalion headquarters and about a hundred policemen in the city.

In addition to being a transportation hub, the town also has a telegraph station, which is the only way for the town to connect with the surrounding area.

"Uh, so, you're going to use your newly recruited hundred or so to go into town and go head-to-head with more than a hundred Portuguese troops, as well as the police?"

Shepard almost wanted to laugh, those subordinates recruited by Zabi, a considerable number of them didn't even know how to shoot at three points and a line, and they all relied on their voices to aim and shoot, and even some guys hadn't learned how to reload magazines for a week, relying on these people?

"No, I'm going to use the tricks you taught me to transfer the enemies in the city, and then attack the telegraph office, where I send a telegram calling on the people to rise up and resist!"

"Oh, that's it!"

Shepard had to admit that Zabi was indeed a talent, not to mention anything else, but it was of great historical significance, not to mention its direct propaganda value, because most of these facilities in the colony were in the service of the colonists, but the rebels seized the facilities of the colonial authorities and issued a call for resistance.

But Shepard still had doubts about this, and it was a question of whether he could walk through the team he had gathered without losing a single person at the distance of a hundred kilometers from the border camp in Zabi to Dundo.

However, Shepard still did not stop the other party, and even kindly offered to provide Zabi with a few more boxes of canned food as military rations.

"Your idea is good, Zabi, I'm very optimistic about you, it's just a pity that I can't help you more!"

"No, that's enough!"

Zabi saw that his plan had been affirmed by Shepard, and immediately became a little proud, after all, in a way, this was affirmed by someone who was better than himself, so he immediately returned to Angola with confidence and began to prepare.

As for Shepard, Plommri cautiously asked Shepard if he wanted to let the Portuguese out with some noise.

"No, do you think that guy's plan will succeed?"

"I feel hanging!"

"Isn't that right?"

Shepard said with a smile as he took off his hood to get in the way.

"Let's just wait for the good news!"
