Chapter 163: A Small Investment
Although more than 200 people had been registered, and there were already almost thirty soldiers who had completed their service and were ready to report to the Shadow Corporation office when they returned home, Shepard was still a little disappointed that Plumri still failed to convince his old comrade-in-arms, John Rambo.
"If it really comes to the day I retire, I may come, but for now, I'd better stay in the army!"
"Good luck then, and if you have any difficulties, remember to contact me!"
Plumri didn't say anything more, he knew what the other party was, so he could only leave his blessing, and then the two of them prepared to return, after all, according to aerial reconnaissance, this place was not very peaceful, Shepard stayed here for two days, and heard no less than six long shellings, and he didn't know who was hitting whom. Z.br>
When the two of them boarded the helicopter and flew back, they flew past several villages on the way, which should be controlled by the South Vietnamese government, but the door machine gunner still laughed and fired below, and did not forget to mock the innocent civilians.
Then, Shepard and Plumri looked at each other tacitly, and one quietly unbuckled the other's seat belts, while Shepard pretended to see the situation and kicked the Heavy down.
Then Primri did not forget to shout in panic.
"That guy fell!"
The two pilots didn't notice anything unusual at all, and the pilot scolded angrily.
"This damn ***, how many times have you said it, let him tie a safety rope! Damn, I'll have to write another casualty report!"
Immediately, the last guilt in Shepard's heart was gone, it turned out to be a habitual offender, so it's okay!
After the two returned to Saigon, they did not return to the United States, but directly boarded the Black Mermaid who came to Vietnam to pull arms, and then made a detour to the Indian Ocean and directly transferred back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
This trip to the two can be regarded as completing the task of circumnavigating the world, but unfortunately no one presented the award, but Parker has returned to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is waiting for the two in Kinshasa.
"You're slow to come!"
"After all, I don't have a private jet, so I can't fly everywhere I want!"
"It's okay, the plane is almost here, I just don't know if you like Katerina or Cessna!"
"You can't have both, but isn't one too old and the other too young? It's nice if you can't change it to another 130! l
"That can't be helped, after all, the CIA has sent them at the moment, and these are the only two!"
"Send it here? They're already here?"
Shepard remembered that the secretary had asked him to expand the infrastructure, and he thought that he would wait until the project was completed to start the follow-up plan, but he didn't expect that he had only been in Vietnam for a month, and the CIA had already started.
"Here, I'm here with the first team, they have sent 5,000 rifles and 1 million rounds of ammunition in advance, as well as radio stations and tents, military uniforms and everything, things will be sent to Kinshasa, then transferred to our base, and then by land to the hands of the SPLF!"
"Tsk, that's a big deal, the first step is to send these!"
Shepard couldn't help but be a little sour, whether there are 5,000 combatants in the SPLF, which is active in the north of Angola and is bombed by the Portuguese army almost every day, is another matter, but it can only be said that Uncle Sam really did whatever it took to fight with the Soviets!"
"It's not business, it's politics!"
"Not necessarily!"
Shepard pouted disdainfully, Uncle Sam's politics and economics are inseparable!
In addition to the transfer of supplies, Parker's responsibilities in Kinshasa are also negotiations with the DRC military, because according to the name, these weapons and various supplies are actually US aid materials obtained by the DRC government, after all, the CIA does not want the KGB to know prematurely that it is stumbling on the other side.
However, Shepard thinks that this thing is just taking off his pants and farting, after all, what the Congo army is like, everyone knows in their hearts, Senerio asked his subordinates to go to Shepard to work and work, and also resell reserve arms to Shepard, which is actually quite good, and the Air Force is engaged in air transportation, and the Army is engaged in truck rental
Renting, just like this dead money, can be willing to help the brand new supplies next door, it is better to believe that Stalin can return like lightning and rebuild the heart of steel!
"What do these things have to do with us?"
"Yes, but not much, because there are still four bag companies in the middle, and things and funds flow to these bag companies, and then allocate them to us!"
"It's a mess!"
Primri suddenly lost interest, he just wanted to go back to the camp and sleep, because he had not had a good rest during this time, but this idea did not come to fruition in the end.
Because when several people returned to the base of the Shadow Company on the Cessna transport plane, Shepard realized that his base had changed.
Although the barracks and other facilities have not changed, next to the base, hundreds of construction machinery are working day and night, in addition to the participation of thousands of Uncle Black, their job is one, to turn Shepard's mercenary barracks, which was originally only used for internal use of the company, into a large military camp with complete functions and facilities, not only airports and warehouses, but also facilities including command posts and field hospitals.
And these things are actually quite trivial, because, according to the head of engineering, there may be fighter hangars, anti-aircraft missiles and radars in the future.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that these facilities, including construction machinery and even construction personnel, are not hired by the U.S. government, but are provided to the DRC government by European foundations in the name of aid, and these things are leased by the DRC government to the Shadow Company free of charge to facilitate the Shadow Company's military training of the DRC army.
Although there is not a single Congolese soldier to be seen here, except that the Americans are Americans!
And Shepard doesn't care what happens to his base, after all, the control of the base is still here in the Shadow Company, and the CIA has no intention of taking over, but after Shepard returned to the base, the DRC military once again handed over a PBY Katerina seaplane to the Shadow Company, including the pilot, and even the military logo on the plane has not had time to be removed.
"In terms of that, that's a hush money for us?"
Looking at the plane painted with the Shadow Company's castle king car logo, Shepard was suddenly full of achievements.
"I think it's money for my life!"
"It's too early to sell your life money, we haven't directly intervened in this matter now, this can only be regarded as a small investment for us! If you want me to die, you'll have to pay more!"
