Chapter 168: Coming!
The indifference of the Americans made many Black Uncle leaders incomprehensible at all, they didn't ask for multi-party cooperation at the beginning, and now there is a table-flipping, why are you just watching there?
"This is an internal affair of your guerrillas, and we can't interfere!"
In the face of many questions, Hudson responded very calmly, and this answer could not satisfy the black uncles at all, because what kind of internal affairs is this, the North Lunda guerrillas actually have helicopter pick-up and drop-off, and can also call seaplanes to drop supplies, you call this an internal affair?
And the CIA saw that many leaders reacted so violently, and immediately put forward a bunch of conditions, what army command, operational leadership These conditions were opened, many leaders immediately became stupid, and the Americans were waiting for themselves?
Because the CIA took the initiative to find cooperation, so in order to appease many leaders, Hudson did not ask for military command at first, because it was easy to estranged the cooperation between the two sides, but later events proved that Hudson's move was a little too soft, and the black uncles did not do anything with guns, and Hudson didn't even have much to do.
So now, Hudson understands that he should be gentle when he should be soft, but when he should be tough, he must be tough, just like this time, because of the internal conflict of the National Security Front that broke out because of Malange, since the black uncles want the CIA to intervene, then they should pay something, otherwise they don't have to talk.
So, at this moment, the black uncles have to face a choice, whether to let the CIA intervene and everyone loses their independence, or to watch the Northern Lunda guerrillas, who obviously have behind-the-scenes supporters, eat up and wipe them out little by little.
Neither of these is a good choice, like chocolate-flavored and-flavored chocolate.
After repeated deliberation, the black uncles finally decided that it was better to abandon the pawn and marshal the commander, although the expansion of the Northern Lunda guerrillas was terrifying, but there was no possibility of hitting their own territory in a short period of time, as for the two provinces of Malanje and Northern Kwanza, what if they were to give up to each other, if they chose to let the CIA intervene, then everyone's army was still not their own, but it was impossible to say!
Zabi also had the foresight to consult with several guerrilla leaders, and he said in a solemn manner that the main reason for his conflict with the guerrillas in Kwanza Norte Province was that the latter had shielded the guerrilla leaders who had carried out the massacre in Malanje Province, and that the crimes committed by the two of them against the local tribes were too numerous to mention, and that he had done so because of public opinion.
For other guerrilla leaders, this kind of nonsense will not be believed by a word, but the problem is that North Lunda entered Northern Kwanza and defeated the local guerrilla forces, which is already an established fact, so they can only reluctantly pinch their noses to say that Zabi is doing the right thing.
Zabi also assured the other leaders that his army would not expand any further, nor would it pose any threat to the power of others.
In fact, with the comparison of the armies of the two sides, the coalition within the SPLF, Zabi has no way to fight at all, even with the help of Shepard, they will not be able to defeat hundreds of times their opponents, but will fall into the quagmire and be difficult to get out, but the problem is here, the SLP is not monolithic, everyone is united, because of the threat of the Portuguese army and the SPLM in the central region, there are usually internal contradictions in everyone, and there are countless cases of misfire, and now if you want everyone to be unanimous with the outside world, it is simply impossible!
And Zabi really does not want to expand anymore, the territory of the three provinces is too large for the North Lunda guerrillas who have not yet completed the training and reorganization, and they must be digested for a long time before they can fully transform the local resources.
As a result, the two sides changed from a tense confrontation to a peaceful and friendly state in the past, and even the SPLF felt that Zabi's control of Northern Kwanza Province was very good, because these three provinces were considered to be the barrier of the northern provinces, and the Portuguese army had to take these three provinces first if they wanted to sweep and suppress the north.
But for this, Shepard is not worried, in this life because of his little butterfly, Portugal's situation in Angola is much worse than in the previous life, in terms of the intensity of the war alone, it is not a level, the casualties of the Portuguese garrison in Angola are increasing day by day, coupled with the poor income of the colony, the Salazar government facing a financial crisis has been crumbling, and before entering 1973, Portugal broke out
Several large-scale demonstrations, the scale of which even spread across the country.
Shepard estimated that the Carnation Revolution, which led to the abandonment of Angola by the Portuguese and the downfall of Salazar's government, may have erupted earlier than in history.
At that time, the Portuguese garrison, which was the greatest threat to Angola, was no longer the biggest problem!
And once the Portuguese abandon Angola, it will be up to who will move faster and get more help, and they will have to prepare for that day. Chinese Net
So, Shepard and Hudson met again, and this time, it was Shepard who asked for help.
"I hope to get more help with resources, after all, it's better to invest in the Shadow Company than in the SPLF!"
"But we've invested a lot of resources into the Shadow Company, engineering team, weapons, what more do you want?"
"More powerful things, like more transport planes and pilots, money, intelligence, and some tacit consent to action!"
"So what do we get? Or rather, what do I get?"
Hudson cocked his legs and said thoughtfully.
"Everything, Agent Hudson, there is no conflict of interest between us, you need agents, we are agents, military contractors are the best tools, and they can eliminate a lot of unnecessary trouble!"
"Well, you convinced me!"
Hudson nodded, he must admit that Shepard is right, although the military contractor industry sounds ugly, it is very necessary to exist, and the gray area naturally has to have the identity of walking in the gray area, and the military contractor is very suitable!
"You're going to get what you want, but I hope you don't let me down in the future with everything I've invested in!"
Hudson took off his sunglasses, then looked at Shepard and said seriously.
"Then I can guarantee that investing in the Shadow Company will be the best investment you've ever made in your life!"
Shepard was also extremely sure.
"Our ambitions are not limited to Angola, and you can't only be active in Angola, so we will definitely have a common language in the future!"
