Chapter 248: A Behemoth Called Shadow!
In less than half a year after the arrival of the Shadow Company, it has successfully made its own resounding name in the mercenary industry, which is different from the popularity among the warlords in those heads of state, and the name of the industry often represents authority and benchmarking.
Although most of the mercenaries mention the Shadow Company, they still only mention a small part of it, such as the strange big boss who walks around the base with a beautiful female companion and throws coins to invite the big soldiers to drink at every turn, or the combatants who carry out combat missions neatly and neatly, or those strange ideas that scrape off the mercenaries with an unknown amount of hard-earned money.
But there are still a few people who see the truth under these fancy appearances, that is, a behemoth called Shadow is quietly rising, they have sophisticated equipment, excellent combat personnel, supporting weapons development companies, good government relations, and the fulcrum of the mercenary industry is being pryed by the changes brought about by this behemoth little by little.
This can be regarded as a cultural export made by Shepard, he has communicated with many mercenary leaders everywhere in the *** days, and most of them have a simple concept of mercenaries in exchange for allegiance, which is commonly known as "having milk is a mother", who has money with whom, it is normal to have this kind of thought.
But Shepard wanted to professionalize the mercenary or contractor industry, whether it was a military contractor or a private contractor, and the most basic rules of engagement should be respected when executing contracts, and the work to be done should not only be for people to fight, but should include a variety of industries.
For example, in later generations, animal protection groups would hire military contractors to carry out the task of fighting poaching groups and maintaining the safety of wildlife, and farmers would even hire contractors to shoot wild boars that broke into their fields for buffets.
Although the main reason for the above business is the industry recession caused by the reduction of regional geopolitical conflicts, the current background of the times is not the same as after the millennium, under the bipolar hegemony pattern, the contractor industry is not worried about no work at all, so it is more important to start the arrangement as early as possible, just like going to the toilet on the train, no matter whether you are in a hurry or not, first occupy the pit, then when the time comes, the urgency, but someone else!
It's just that everyone still doesn't think so, but many mercenaries now introduce themselves no longer directly and clearly what mercenaries are, but have changed to private contractors, that is, P, although they are not registered at all, and there is no office location, but under the subtle leadership of Shepard, these mercenaries have also begun to pay attention to the so-called image, and even mercenaries with uniform and insignia have appeared, although the so-called uniform is actually sand-colored camouflage. Z.br>
But all in all, Shepard is off to a good start, and even gave a lot of interesting ideas and insights to an unknown figure who is currently serving in the South African army.
And most importantly, Shepard used his previous popularity to successfully find a second government client for him!
In 1975, a lot happened in that year, and in Africa, there was one small thing that seemed insignificant, and that was the independence of the Comoros, a small island nation that originally belonged to France, finally broke free from the control of its suzerainty and became an independent country after 134 years of colonial rule.
And after independence, it will definitely be a new government and elect a new leader, but as the saying goes, the temple is a small demon and the wind is big, and the king of Chi is shallow, even if it is a small country with a big fart, there will still be various problems when it comes to political issues, such as some people look at the boss unpleasantly!
After the independence of the Comoros, a big brother named Ahmed Abdullah became the president of this small country, and his subordinate, a guy named Saleh, found the other party's presidential position to look quite attractive, and he also wanted to sit down, so Saleh wanted to make a small sneak attack to get the other party.
Comoros is a small country, with a population of less than 600,000 people, such a small country, the army strength will not be strong, after the country's independence, the army of the whole country adds up to a company, and the soldiers of this company can't even do an old-fashioned tethered rifle, so Saleh does not plan to buy the army to help himself!
After market research through industry comparison and seller evaluation, Saleh found that the shadow company has a very bright performance in Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, both in terms of scale and combat effectiveness, this company is very reliable, especially in combat effectiveness, even Cubans have to suffer a little loss in their hands!
As a result, Saleh immediately sent Shepard a business contract worth two million!
"Two million?"
Shepard can only smack his tongue, the poverty of a small country is really relative to the civilians, the common people are poor and have no pants to wear, and a dollar is eager to be broken in half and spend what does it have to do with these officials, Shepard dares to guarantee the vote, if this bad old man sitting opposite him takes out 100,000 yuan and distributes it to the civilians, the latter will definitely lift him to the throne of the president with a crowd of people, but he definitely can't say this!
After all, it has always been the master who scrapes the poor ghost, how can the poor ghost collect the master's money, you dare to collect money today, what do you dare to do tomorrow, I don't dare to think about it!
"That's right, two million!"
Saleh is actually a bit unscored, the young man sitting across from him doesn't look very old, but he already has the aura of killing, so although he is a customer and is still old, in front of Shepard, he has become a submissive grandson!
"It's a little less, but it's okay, I'll take this errand!"
Shepard nodded, he is actually no stranger to this place in Comoros, if nothing else, the person who took over this business should be a Frenchman, but now that history has deviated, his reputation in Africa has overshadowed the other party, so it is actually normal for Saleh to change his partner!
"Declare in advance that we are only responsible for the work, and we will not be involved in anything that happens after that, and we will not be stranded, and you will have to pay the full amount first!"
"That's fine, of course, but when will you be able to do it?"
"As long as the money is in place, my people can do it immediately!"
"Then it's decided!"
Saleh immediately stood up excitedly, and was about to raise the wine glass in front of him to celebrate with Shepard.
"And I wish us a happy cooperation?"
"Happy working together!"
