Chapter 320: Reliable Friend

Because the operation in Mozambique was entirely spontaneous by civil society, Shepard did not send all his subordinates over with great fanfare, and now the Shadow Company has a big business, in addition to its operations in Angola, South Africa and the Comoros, there are many other related training operations, a considerable part of which are weapons training.

For example, helping Colombia's army train how to use the 16 rifle, the latter is aiming to build an ambitious army to rid the country of drugs that are harmful to the country, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is no clarity between the president and the drug lord, so just listen to it!

Many of the above operations have divided half of Shepard's veterans and recruits, so he sent less than a hundred people to Mozambique, and the scale is an alpha detachment and a sniper detachment to strengthen the past.

As the old foundation of the Shadow Company, the Alpha detachment has always appeared as a powerful trump card of the Shadow Company, and although it has been constantly experiencing attrition, Shepard is also constantly adding new blood to it.

Although there is no complete concept of the corresponding deployment area at this moment, Shepard still assigns different types of combat personnel as much as possible, for example, almost all members of the Alpha detachment have received jungle combat training and survival training, and the Bravo detachment has artillery specialization and field specialization.

Shepard plans to wait a few years, and when the Shadow Company completes its globalization, it will start to do zoning, which can reduce unnecessary losses on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also quite beneficial for the execution of the mission, because if you choose the same area as much as possible, there is no need to consider language and map recognition.

After being deployed to Mozambique, the Alpha detachment was not in a hurry to explore the complex terrain north of the border zone, which stretched for dozens of kilometers and was composed of rainforests, river valleys, and hills.

Soon the water purification tablets purchased from Germany and the United Kingdom, as well as special protective clothing, were airlifted to South Africa, and then delivered to Captain Li by Shepard's small Cessna cargo plane.

Only then did the latter go into action.

As the birthplace of mankind, Africa contains unimaginable treasures, all kinds of minerals, oil, animals and plants bring countless surprises to the world, although for various reasons, these resources are somewhat difficult to extract, but can not stop the greed of people.

For example, this large plain belt in the southern part of Mozambique is a plain, but the terrain is very complex, with deserts, grasslands, rainforests, and correspondingly, rich resources.

The few gold mines previously controlled by the C.I.A. bag company alone between river valleys and deserts would provide them with nearly six million a year.

Although this money is a drop in the bucket for the various tasks performed by the CIA or the huge cost of research projects, it is at least a sum of income, otherwise why did Adler come to Shepard in a hurry after the income was cut off.

Their action group has been smashing, burning, and looting on weekdays, and the funds allocated above are not even enough to pay for the bullets that are usually fired, and if they don't want to open up the source, they can't wrestle with their KGB counterparts!

However, Captain Li did not follow the guerrillas' thoughts, and simply launched a counteroffensive, using the autumn wind to sweep away the leaves of the government army, and after penetrating into Mozambique, his first arrangement was to find local collaborators.

"We must have reliable guides and insiders!"

Captain Li didn't look down on the guerrillas who were full of Tutu at all, and these people couldn't fight well, but they were good at grabbing grain, and before that, five people beat up the people of a village and robbed 13 bags of coarse noodles and more than 100 catties of air-dried meat.

This operation almost didn't make Captain Lee's nose crooked, because this kind of pig teammate will really do bad things at critical moments!

That's why he desperately wants to have his own intelligence channels, which is also an indispensable part of special operations.

And it is true that although they have chosen to take this route, the level of education in Mozambique is not enough to make the people have a high level of ideology

After all, the Soviet Union and the United States both have a lot of two or five boys thrown themselves at each other, not to mention Mozambique, a country where most ordinary people have no concept of the word ism, it can also be said that who has a gun and who they are with!

And now Captain Lee's alpha detachment has not only guns, but also money!

As the official currency, the Mozambican metical is still quite valuable, especially during this period, Mozambique is carrying out vigorous construction, all kinds of investment, all kinds of trade, so that the whole country looks prosperous.

So, by throwing coins, Captain Lee still found a good old man from the local hunters, who was about sixty years old, had gone to school during the colonial period, and was even drafted into the colonial army to serve for a long time, because of his injuries, he had a problem with alcoholism.

But the income from the hunt was not enough for him to satisfy his appetite, so he naturally accepted Captain Lee's money and the fine French wine offered by the latter.

"I don't have a crush on you white people, but you're much better than the Portuguese!"

Looking at the wine in his hand, the old man grinned widely, smiled very happily, and began to blow directly and unceremoniously, and after pouring a large mouthful of satisfaction, he picked up the air-dried rabbit meat and stuffed it into his mouth, obviously having entered a state of enjoyment.

And Captain Li no longer bothered the other party, and after leaving the agreed place, he took his leave and left, the latter lived in isolation, and he was alone with the shotgun, so Captain Li did not have to worry about being exposed.

And for his choice, his subordinates have quite a lot of complaints, after all, they have always held themselves to high standards, this kind of alcoholic strange old man, it looks really unreliable, who knows if they will betray them for something!

Captain Li has the opposite view of this, the latter seems confused, but he does not talk like a bad old man, he clearly knows the international situation, understands the identity of Captain Lee, and most importantly, this guy has no good feelings about the current Mozambican government.

That's all that matters!

The deputy still didn't believe it, so the captain made a bet with the other party to see if the old man would show up the next day.

The next day, as soon as the reconnaissance team arrived at the target, they saw an old man dressed as a hunter impatiently boiling morning tea with an old-fashioned shotgun in his hand.
