"This is Lieutenant Colonel Charlie Matt, a former lieutenant colonel in the French Army, and the commander of the combined mercenaries!"

"Good day! Everyone!"

The French commander who appeared at the headquarters was a very delicate mustache, about forty to fifty years old, not tall, only 1.7 meters, and wearing a flat military cap usually worn by French officers, and there was a hand-stitched thread at the bottom of the hat, which seemed to be his own custom-made military cap.

"Welcome, Lieutenant Colonel!"

As the person in charge of the Shadow Company, Shepard naturally became the representative of the scene, and after the two of them briefly greeted and introduced the men they brought, they stopped writing and directly discussed the defense plan.

The next opponent to face is the elite paratroopers from Cuba, then the plan of sticking to the airport runway can be completely lost, and the elite paratroopers are in a dangerous distance to see-saw, once there is a mistake, the defense line will be broken through instantly, and when the time comes, they will be divided and surrounded at the airport!

And the most taboo thing in defense is to get together, in the era of cold weapons, there will be a rain of arrows and counterweight trebuchets, not to mention the era of hot weapons, a defensive position full of people, the happiest, is naturally the opponent's artillery.

Hannibal redrew his defense plan based on his experience of being besieged in Vietnam an unknown number of times.

He is ready to extend the defensive line, the west side of the airport is a plain, but there are many trenches, which can be used to establish a blocking line, plus there are still high points in the tank farm on the west side where sniper teams can be set up, and four A60 wheeled combat vehicles loaded with 60mm breech-loading mortars with new reinforcements are in hand, and it is completely impossible to break through here with light infantry!

As for the north side of the airport, there are still many areas there that are under the control of SPLM, and Hannibal plans to wait for another counteroffensive in the evening to drive the enemy out completely, so that the defensive area of the airport will be doubled, although this will also increase the difficulty of defense, but the advantage is that the Cubans will not threaten the flank.

"Well, why don't I let my men defend the west side?"

Charlie Matt looked at the map, thought for a few seconds, and then pointed to the two-kilometer defensive area that started at the end of the runway and ended on the western plain.

"Most of them are from regular field forces, and many of them have combat experience in Algeria, so it should be no problem to hand them over here!"

"So, what else does Agent Hudson have to say?"

"No, it doesn't matter to me who defends what, all I want is to make sure the airport is not lost, so, guys, if you want to get paid, do your best as you do at the Shadow Corporation, and I'm here to oversee you!"

Hudson shook his head, and gave the new mercenaries an extra emphasis.

Charlie Matt was visibly unhappy with Hudson's words, coughed, and then said.

"Agent Hudson, please believe these people I have brought, they are all professional soldiers, they will not do anything to damage their honor, as for our colleagues, maybe our equipment is not as good as theirs, but compared to the will to fight, I believe that my boys are not far behind!"

"Preferably so!"

"Then, next, I'll take someone to check the position!"

Charlie Matt nodded to the group and was about to leave the temporary headquarters, when a tall man who followed Charlie stopped abruptly and looked at Shepard.

"Speaking of which, I've heard your name for a long time, Mr. John Shepard!"

"yes, how early?"

"I don't know the name François, do you have any impressions? I'm an old friend with him!"

Instead of answering, the man mentioned a name that Shepard had forgotten.

"François, I don't remember!"

Shepard shook his head.

Hannibal, on the other hand, pretended to remind Shepard, but in fact said it loudly.

"It's the mercenary leader who ran away and was shot to death, and then we handed over his body to United Mining!"

"Oh, I remember, then

His hands are raised high!"

A gloomy look flashed across the tall man's face, but he didn't have a seizure, but said.

"Mr. Shepard, I just wanted to warn you that this is not the easy way to end!"

"It's very difficult to end, it's okay, the last thing I'm afraid of is the difficulty, although I generally only like to deal with people who create difficulties, rather than directly solving difficulties!"

Shepard slowly raised Erlang's legs, and the dozen or so Shadow Company commanders and detachment commanders behind him were also extremely cooperative, standing behind him with their chests crossed.

Seeing this formation, the tall man stopped speaking, just nodded slightly at everyone, and then trotted a few steps to catch up with Charlie Matt, who was leaving,

"That turtle grandson has a lot of friends!"

"It's alright, we have a lot of friends, right, Agent Hudson!"

"Don't pull us apart from the contradictions of your peers, right?"

Hudson was speechless, and for the first time, he realized that Shepard was also the kind of cheeky guy.

"What kind of contradiction, what if this involves KGB spies, Stasi spies?"

Hudson looked at the ceiling speechlessly, believing that if he nodded, he would surely find a lot of relevant evidence on that guy's luggage or corpse.

In order to prevent this from happening, he could only remind Shepard with words.

"Well, don't go too far, after all, those mercenaries are also from above to help!"

"Where do you want to go, we are very particular about the spirit of contract, and we will definitely not make trouble!"

"Yes!"

Hannibal nodded in affirmation, and then cut down two of the six mortars that had been destined for the mercenaries.

"By the way, Agent Hudson, those mercenaries aren't part of a team, are they?"

"Well, from three groups of people, the largest number is led by Lieutenant Colonel Charlie Matt, most of them are his old subordinates in the army, they are active in North Africa, and the rest are in half, one is Bob Denard's men, and the other is from Sweden. Z.br>

"Well, that's fine!"

Shepard stretched, then stood up and walked to Hannibal's side, only to see that the latter had neatly prepared a duty schedule, the most dangerous night watch task was given to Charlie Matt, the second dangerous afternoon watch was given to the Swedes, and the safest morning watch mission, which would not normally be attacked, was given to the tall man's team.

After all, under normal circumstances, there would be no armed army attacking military airports, and now this is naturally a different situation, but these things are no longer important!
