Chapter 278: Dig a Pit!
Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Saleh didn't actually hate Shepard, but he couldn't help but feel a little sad at the thought that his accumulated wealth would be slashed away by the other party.
Therefore, after arriving in *** by plane, Saleh did not have a good face until he saw Shepard, who was playing poker with a group of South African officers in the military base, and Saleh squeezed out a smile.
"I'm sorry, guys, I have to leave, I've got a drink for today!"
Immediately, a group of South African officers cheered.
Shepard led Saleh to the club's second-floor dining room, where he motioned for his cronies to bring over a large briefcase.
"That's the promised reward!"
Saleh opened the briefcase, revealing the bills inside, and Shepard only glanced at it before handing it over to the guards beside him.
"Don't you want to order?"
"No, I'm sure you're a customer!"
"That's good, I really appreciate your help, if it wasn't for your reminder, maybe my head would have moved!"
"You're welcome, after all, we are also in a mutually beneficial relationship, so there is no need to be so embarrassed!"
"No, no, no, I have another business, no, it should be a new business!"
"You want to hire us to deal with the French?"
"Yes, the Comoros army can't be counted on, those guys don't have anything to do other than get paid, and half of them don't even have weapons, so I thought, maybe the Shadow Company can help me clean up that annoying garbage!"
"You mean, you want the Shadow Company to help you fight those French mercenaries?"
"Yes, that's right, that's what I mean, you're very strong, and Abdullah didn't even understand what happened when he was captured, so this time, I think the Shadow Company can also surprise me!"
"President Saleh, I think you should figure something out!"
Shepard raised Erlang's legs leisurely again, and then said in a deep voice.
"Before, our enemy was just Abdullah alone, but now, it is the French government that wants to do something to you, Abdullah and the mercenaries are just their pawns, and I am working against them, that is, against the French!"
Saleh's face turned black when he heard this, this is the focus of the matter, although France has given up its colonies in Africa on the surface, it still exerts all kinds of influence, and even many countries still have French military bases and naval fleets, just like Tsarist Russia is known as the European gendarme, France also has the title of African gendarme.
Therefore, it is understandable that Shepard is reluctant to participate directly in the confrontation with him......
Saleh originally thought so, but when he looked up, he saw Shepard's expression, it was not a look of embarrassment at all!
Immediately, Saleh suddenly remembered what Shepard had said earlier.
"I'm willing to give another four million!"
Saleh raised four fingers, this is the money he can raise in the fastest time at the moment, he knows that Shepard actually doesn't care if he will go against the French, that guy is just waiting to knock his own bamboo pole, so he will be open and honest about his bottom line.
"If that's not enough, I've bought several villas in France......
Saleh also worked hard, and moved out the fixed assets that he had never lived in, anyway, the French were trying to find a way to deal with him, and it is estimated that he would not have the opportunity to enjoy the manor villa purchased in France in his life!
"We don't need anything about real estate, we're just here to make money, not to bankrupt the employer!"
"That's great!"
Saleh stood up excitedly.
"So, happy to work together?"
"Sure, it's a pleasure to work with, but our rules?"
"Of course I do!"
Saleh asked his men to bring in two large bags again, and then handed them to Xue together
Pader.
"I came prepared!"
"Coincidentally, so am I!"
Shepard looked at the bag with satisfaction, and then led Saleh out of the club and into the camp belonging to the Shadow Company.
Here, an advance detachment of no more than twenty men had been assembled.
Because he was not sure whether the French still had hidden chess in the Comoros, in order not to startle the snake, Shepard was not prepared to enter the Comoros with great fanfare, because after being detected in that way, the French might change their plans and let things get out of control.
Therefore, Shepard decided that entering the Comoros must be secretive!
Hannibal picked twenty reconnaissance specialists, who would enter the Comoros under the guise of skilled workers hired by Saleh, and then conduct reconnaissance at key locations.
Because it was a secret infiltration, they did not carry excess combat equipment, and their weapons were Uzi submachine guns and P5 submachine guns, which were small enough to fit in a backpack.
In addition, the advance team also carried more radios and walkie-talkies, and after the front station, they also had the function of turning the center, so the communication equipment was also essential!
Saleh finally understood at this moment that he had been calculated by the other party from the beginning, although it was the French who wanted to do it to himself, but what he really knew was Shepard who wanted to help him, and the latter's calculation made him a little afraid.
But at the same time, Saleh is glad that such a person is not his enemy, because if he had changed Shepard to do it to himself, he might not even know how he died!
"We will send two operational detachments, you can put a hundred hearts, Bob Denard's men are not so terrifying, my people can deal with it!"
"That's fine, then I'll be in the Comoros to wait for Jiayin!"
Saleh then proceeded first, and the advance party then arrived in Comoros as hired by the former, and their arrival did not arouse any suspicion at all, because Saleh's excuse was that he had brought in new renovators from Europe to renovate his presidential residence.
So, at best, everyone scolded this insatiable tyrant for what new tricks he wanted to play, and they didn't even notice that when these workers arrived in Comoros, not only did they not go to work, but they were still running around.
In the following period, Shepard sent more of his men to Comoros under various guises, and after entering the country, they hid in the safe house arranged by Saleh, and they would remain silent on the radio until the French mercenaries appeared and began to attack, and these guys were awakened.
In such a situation of unknowingness, soon, the combat personnel of the Shadow Company were in place one after another.
