Chapter 344: American Offer!
Because the two sides are still at war, they have chosen a third party that is neutral to each other, and it is not far from both sides, that is, Zimbabwe, next door to Mozambique.
Neither side had informed the Zimbabwean side of the alleged prisoner exchange at a third party, because no one was trying to enter through normal means.
Zimbabwe is a vast but sparsely populated country, with a border of 1,300 kilometers with Mozambique, and the army and police combined are less than 20,000 people.
Even because of financial problems, they don't even have a so-called radar, and the airspace is like a bus, anyone can enter.
Although it is illegal to go in and it is an act of war, if it is not discovered, it is nothing, so whether it is Shepard or Balleleika, from this point of view, the two are very similar!
With Colonel Rob dead, there was no need for Alpha to continue to exist, so Shepard simply sent some of them by helicopter to a deserted wilderness on the Zimbabwean border, where they would conduct outpost exploration, including driving away unrelated individuals and alerting the movements of the nearby Zimbabwean military.
Then, he flew here in a low-altitude crossover on a Cessna plane, and the advance team had already stepped on it in advance, and confirmed that it could take off and land Cessna, otherwise Shepard would still choose Huey..
Before he arrived, the Soviets had arrived at their target, a Mi-8 helicopter had brought Balelaika and several of his men, and a hooded unlucky man was writhing around in the cabin.
When they saw Cessna landing, a group of Soviets thought that there would be a hairless American with a big belly and a hairless head, after all, in the stereotype of many Soviets, cold-blooded and ruthless capital predators look like this, and they will also be equipped with canes, gold teeth and other things according to different eras, so when Shepard, dressed as a hunter, appeared, the Soviets thought that this guy was a bodyguard, with gray hair and a light green uniform, and Plomri was the boss.
Then, they found out that they were wrong!
"Americans are also paying attention to younger cadres?"
"Maybe it's the second and third generations or something!"
The crowd whispered as they watched as their boss stepped forward with an interpreter, and then the two sides met.
"Very beautiful uniform, Madam Captain!"
Shepard asked the woman who thought that her handsomeness could solve all the troubles, but unexpectedly, the Soviet female officer, who was close to 1.8 meters tall, did not eat this at all, and Baleleika, who exuded an unapproachable person, stepped forward as if she did not hear Shepard's compliment, and then looked at the translator beside her.
The latter is a clerk of the company, a top student of Kazan University, who can obviously get a good position in the cadre team, but who knows why this guy brainstormed the airborne troops, and he successfully passed the training.
The latter immediately coughed, and then told Shepard.
"Our comrade captain wants to see the relics!"
"Of course!"
Shepard waved his hand, and soon a few PCs without weapons immediately stepped forward and brought some small items that had been sorted out and cleaned, including some jewelry, as well as photos and other things, in addition to a few watches with very good craftsmanship, these are the relics of the fallen airborne soldiers, which were put away by the PC, originally according to the principle, these things would become the trophies of the PC, but Shepard bought them all with the internal price, and also sent someone to deal with the dirty and damaged ones.
Several bloodstained and somewhat damaged photographs were also restored and remade, and returned along with the original photographs.
Seeing that the things under his hands were so valued by the other party, Baleleika's face immediately improved a lot, and he was willing to talk to Shepard more.
"You're their commander?"
The translator couldn't help but roll his eyes when he listened to the eldest sister's fluent English, his boss could obviously speak English, but he let himself come, isn't this bullying an honest man!
But now he can only be silent
Mo took a step back, then began to pretend to be air, as if he didn't exist.
"No, I'm their leader, but I'm not a commander, after all, I'm not a military professional, but we have very professional commanders, and we've fought against your Cuban counterparts!"
Baleleika knew that the other party was referring to the Angolan Civil War, and the Shadow Company was also in the limelight in the civil war, serving the two forces successively, and working with the CIA as a woman, causing a lot of trouble to the Angolan government army and the Cuban Volunteer Army.
And now, these mercenaries have caused nearly 20 casualties to her company, of which two-thirds are killed alone, and the government forces are even worse, at least dozens of officers and hundreds of soldiers have died.
"Then you still sound proud!"
"No, we are in this business, ma'am, there is light and there is darkness, and when there are many times when conventional means cannot solve the problem, our existence has meaning, I understand your pride, but my brothers also have their pride!"
"It's your people!"
Baleleika didn't want to talk to Shepard any longer, so she beckoned her men to release them, and was soon captured by the Soviets for almost two weeks, but Martinez, who looked fat, was brought over.
"Welcome home!"
Shepard patted the latter's oily face, and then asked Baleleika if he wanted to pay for another meal, after all, it seemed that this guy was eating and drinking a lot at the other party's place, Shepard suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be because this guy was too edible, so he was released?
Baleleika, on the other hand, shook her head with a strange look and said.
"We can still afford a meal or two, but I suggest you get a doctor to show this guy, he eats five meals a day, drinks soda, and our guys even have to supervise his workout!"
"Thank you!"
Shepard looked at Baleleika, who was leaving, suddenly coughed, and then shouted.
"Well, wait a minute, Madam Captain, this is my business card, you and your people are very nice people, if you want to change jobs at any time, you can always consider coming to the Shadow Company, this invitation is always valid!"
Looking at the business card that was handed over, Baleleika did not accept it, but shook her head and said with a firm attitude.
"Thank you, but we're already destined to fight for the Soviet Union for the rest of our lives!"
