Chapter 165: Let the wolf into the sheepfold
"Speaking of which, Africa is such a magical place!"
"Actually, it's the same in other places, except that we think Africa is amazing because we don't know much about it!"
"That's true, but the magic of the Settlement Array is a bit excessive, and it really irritates me!"
"That's why I'm advising you to change your goals!"
Shepard crossed Erlang's legs, it is not unreasonable for the SPLF to be the first force to go out in the civil war, although they occupy the oil area, but the economic benefits cannot be transformed into war strength at all, even with the assistance of the United States, it is not the opponent of the SPLM supported by the Soviet Union at all, and the military strength of the two sides is more than double!
"But I can't change it yet, I know about the Savimbi you mentioned, but unfortunately, he seems to be very close to that side!"
"Over there, isn't this normal, there are only a few people in this world who have the ability to become a big country, and besides, it doesn't have to be our enemy over there!"
"From a factual point of view, you are right, but unfortunately, sometimes we can't make decisions based on the facts!"
"So, Agent Hudson is going to hang himself from the SLF tree?"
"Hanging, that's a good way to say, but for now, it's really like that!"
"That's a pity! Meet such a partner!"
"Who's to say it isn't! But I have an idea!"
"Let's be honest, Agent Hudson, if you need our help!"
"I think maybe you could consider letting the Northern Lunda guerrillas join the FLN, what do you think?"
"Well, I'm afraid it's not good?"
Shepard's face immediately turned a little ugly, this bald thing wants to pick peaches, right? I've been working in North Lunda for so long, and you're here to do this?
Hudson is also a human spirit, and when he saw Shepard's face change slightly, he knew that the other party was definitely not very willing, but he didn't expect that Shepard was even thinking about how to solve the problem with a neuropathic gunman.
He coughed, then said.
"I understand that the Shadow Company's support of the Northern Lunda guerrillas is very expensive, but I can guarantee that your interests will not be lost in any way, and you don't even need to make any changes, because I only want the results, what do you think?"
"Since Agent Hudson has said so, then it will definitely not be good if I refuse again, and I will talk to Zabi!"
"Thank you very much!"
"We'll talk about the details another day!"
"Yes!"
After bidding Agent Hudson farewell, Shepard returned to his room, still pondering, before Parker, who had been watching the meeting next door, pushed the door in.
"What, you're still struggling with the pros and cons?"
"Yes, if the SPLF is really reliable, then I don't mind letting North Lunda lean over, and the hundreds of veterans under Zabi's command who have been trained by us can easily make a name for themselves within the SLF, and even gain dominance is not without a problem!" Chinese Net
"However, you haven't considered that if the SPLF is gone, the SPLM, which controls the central region, will really let go of North Lunda, which is in a corner of the country? Or can UNITA cross thousands of kilometres and save the struggling Northern Lunda?"
"This, this is it! I haven't really thought about it!"
Shepard was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile.
"Since we can't hold it apart, why not merge, and with Zabi's guerrillas as a base, plus assistance from the CIA, and our help, how can you be sure that the SPLF can't be trusted?"
"This!"
Shepard suddenly fell silent again, he seemed to be a little bit of a bull, because in history, the SPLF was the first to fail, so he had some preconceived ideas that the SPLF was doomed to fail, and he also ignored his own existence, and he also forgot the role of the CIA, what they wanted was a political task, which was to curb the expansion of the Soviet Union, so the Shadow Company and the CIA action team did not have it at all
Any conflict!
"You're right, Parker! Prepare the helicopter tomorrow morning, I'm going to Angola!"
"Yes, boss!"
Seeing the crux of Shepard's problem, Parker is also a lot more relaxed, although Shepard always looks forward-looking many times, but this is just a lot of ignoring what is in front of him, but only at this time, everyone will find out that he is just a twenty-year-old young man!
The next morning, Shepard, who had changed into a shirt and combat pants, put on a body armor jacket and boarded the Huey helicopter numbered Super 64, which was also his first official entry into Angola.
In the front-line command of the North Ronda Rescue ***, Zabi looked at Shepard who took off his hood, and he was also relieved.
"Looks like it's time for us to talk openly and honestly about cooperation!"
"Yes, but I think that with the basis of the previous cooperation, our future cooperation should not be too bad!"
"I think that's how it should be, so let's get acquainted again, Zabi Savimbi!"
"John Shepard!"
"Although I guessed it a long time ago!"
"Looks like I'm going to practice my London accent next time!"
After changing to a more spacious living room, the two of them sipped the best coffee from Europe and talked about the FLN.
"So, Zabi, are you interested in joining the Pacification Formation?"
Because he was too lazy to be polite, Shepard asked directly, and almost made Zabi squirt the coffee.
"I, the Annular Formation, how is that possible?"
Zabi looked incredulous at first, but looking at Shepard's serious appearance, he immediately became serious,
"Me, rely on me?"
"Yes, of course, we will still have some friends, and as long as you have the ability, there will naturally be some help, so, now, tell me, would you like to?"
"I, I want to try!"
Zabi nodded slowly, full of determination.
"That's enough, don't worry about other problems, if you deal with the Portuguese, your men may have some difficulty, but if you are facing the tribal forces of the SPLF, believe me, a sheep in full armor is also a sheep, and a wolf with bare hands is also a wolf! Besides, we have other tricks, don't we?"
"So, will the SLF agree?"
"That's not a problem!"
Shepard no longer sat upright, but changed to a relaxed position.
"Someone will solve the problem over there, and as for the future, there will also be us, what you have to do is to carry that banner!"
