Shepard is no stranger to Aideed, because in one of his favorite military movies in his previous life, the warlord leader who had spent most of his life in Somalia was the protagonist.

And that movie is called Black Hawk Down!

At this time, Aideed was not the king of Somalia in later generations, making Americans disgraced, but gold always shines, Aideed at this time, has shown his high sonic vision in the military and the people, and it is no wonder that later, he became the uncrowned king of the entire Somalia.

Aideed served in the Italian colonial army as a young man, and later entered a NATO military academy, where he was considered a top student in Somalia, where prenatal education per capita was unemployed.

After Somalia became independent, Aideed became a colonel in the Somali army, and later went to the Soviet Union for further study, and he was also the first to notice that President Siad was planning to rebel, but his warnings were unfortunately not heeded.

After President Siad came to power in a coup d'état, he was imprisoned until the Ogaden War, during which he commanded troops and inflicted huge losses on the Ethiopian army.

But alas, in the latter part of the war, his opponent changed from the Ethiopian army to the Cuban unit under the command of the Soviet General Vasily Ivanovich Petrov.

The latter was a veteran of the Soviet Union, experienced in warfare, and his army was well-equipped, and in front of him, Aideed's war skills were as ridiculous as a child's performance, and under the counterattack of the Cuban army, Aideed even had to learn from the French to strafe the troops with heavy machine guns in order to stabilize the battle line.

However, although the war was lost, Aideed still became a hero in the hearts of many Somalis by virtue of his performance in the war, and this naturally made him a thorn in the president's side again.

Therefore, on the third day after the riots subsided, Aideed, who had been idle, became the Somali ambassador to India and was kicked out.

When he learned that the legend had left, Shepard was still quite sorry, after all, Aideed is really capable of posing a mortal threat to the current Somali government, which is why the Somali government did not kill him, but sent him out.

Because if you kill Aideed directly, the government may be thundering the next day!

Regardless, the matter is over, Aideed has single-handedly won a lot of praise for persuading the people, and the Somali government has lost face, not only to the police force that maintains law and order, but also to poke out the police warehouse for hiding pirate materials.

And that's the biggest problem!

Most of the pirates' actions were tacitly considered spontaneous, organized by a small number of people to commit crimes, but now the pirates have hijacked goods in piles in the warehouses of police stations, and the reason for this is frightening.

In the mouths of many Western journalists, the Somali government has become the black hand behind the pirates, their umbrella!

While most of the mainstream media doesn't pay attention to these things, the shipping companies, especially those that pass through the Gulf of Aden, are inevitably a little alarmed.

In the past, you occasionally appeared once or twice pirates, and everyone could still accept it, after all, this place is poor, the common people can't even afford to eat bread, and it's normal to be pirates!

But now that it's officially backed pirates, it's not a matter of probability, it's deliberate!

For this reason, many shipping companies are considering equipping their cargo ships with safety guards, not to mention how elite, but at least to ensure that their ships are not harmed.

And in this life, under the leadership of Shepard, the so-called military contractors and mercenaries are much more active than in the previous life, so these commercial freight companies do have a lot of choices, whether they are British and French, or from Northern Europe.

In the face of these peers who came to steal business, Shepard was a little unhurried.

"You're going to make a wedding dress for someone else!"

"Shut up, and I'll whip you with a stick!"

In the face of Parker's quip, Shepard could only roll his eyes and then speak a warning.

But the latter is clearly interested in means of punishment and especially wants to see the stick or something!

"Those guys want to rob us, but they really can't think of it, they have no territory, no foundation, no intelligence in Somalia, how can they escort them? Do you think that the last boat will just send people to the place?"

"What if it doesn't?"

"That's wrong, the Shadow Company is only responsible for this section of the Gulf of Aden, and the ocean route is so long, the shipping company is reluctant to escort the whole way!"

During the Ogaden War, the United States took advantage of the looting to claim control of three ports from Somalia, which Shepard relied on, and he had previously contacted the CIA and the Navy, who had opened up the residency and use rights of the three ports to the Shadow Company at a low price of $100,000 a year. ap.

In other words, the ships of the Shadow Company can enter the port and berth like the American *** ship, and they can also use the supply facilities in the port by spending money, and most importantly, he can send contractors to station.

The newly expanded Shadow Company is now a strong man, not only has enough combat personnel to maintain the requirements of various missions, but also expanded its equipment, and Shepard even got a PBY seaplane for the air team, which he named Shiratori.

Both seaplanes have been refitted, including armament upgrades, and at the debut in the Gulf of Aden, Shepard directly sent these two seaplanes and the Shadow Detachment, which had been trained by Rambo for a long time.

"Do a good job of this trip, the Gulf of Aden will have to be our final say for twenty years!"

Shepard couldn't be more determined.

After the thunderstorm of the Somali piracy incident, Shepard made a detailed count of the shipping companies that had come to him recently, and after getting the exact employment intention, Shepard immediately concentrated those freighters that were close to each other, so that he would not send people from ship to ship, but to make it bigger, and concentrate a group of ships to cross the Gulf of Aden.

Security personnel will be on standby in the group, and if the situation is detected, helicopters will be used for dispatch, and in addition to these security measures, there are two heavily armed seaplanes that will cruise around the group at a fixed speed to maintain vigilance!

"And what if the pirates are scared away? You're going to find a way to send someone to arch the fire?"

"You're wrong, not all freight companies are willing to hire security, so there's no shortage of pirates in this place!"
